A little care, in writing
Your memories.
Handled with care.
What you’re ordering, how we handle your photographs,
and what happens if something isn’t quite right.
Effective September 14, 2026 · Version 2026-09-14
01 / THE AGREEMENT
A small film,
made personally.
These terms apply to family-film orders placed through laramieaiphotos.com, operated by Shawn Laramie in Arizona as Laramie AI Photos & Animation (“we,” “us”). By placing an order, you agree to these terms. Please read the privacy policy below before uploading photographs.
What you’re buying
One custom digital reel made from AI-animated versions of the photographs you supply, assembled with personal video editing. Delivery is an MP4 download. Physical prints, original project files, and separate services such as photo upscaling are not included unless we agree otherwise in writing.
The current price is $35 for 1–5 photographs, plus $3 for each additional photograph. Prices are in US dollars. Review the total at checkout before paying. Any change to the agreed scope or price needs your agreement.
Timing and delivery
The standard turnaround is 2–3 business days after payment and receipt of your photos. Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding US federal holidays. If a file cannot be used, we need clarification, or a delay arises, we’ll contact you and agree on next steps. Contact us before ordering if you need a specific event deadline.
Stripe provides your payment receipt. We make the film available through your private order page and contact you by email when it is ready. Use an email address you check, keep your order link, and download a copy of the finished film for your own safekeeping.
What AI animation can and cannot do
Animation invents movement and can change faces, expressions, clothing, or background details. It is an artistic interpretation, not recovered footage or a factual record of what someone did. We cannot promise an exact likeness in every frame or that every photograph will animate successfully. The demonstration film illustrates the service; each result depends on the source photographs.
Your photographs and permissions
You must be at least 18 to place an order. Only upload photographs you own or have permission to reproduce, edit, and share with us and the service providers described below. Obtain any necessary permission from people pictured or a parent or guardian where appropriate. Having a copy of a photograph does not necessarily mean you own its copyright.
Do not submit unlawful material, intimate images, identity documents, or content intended to deceive, harass, exploit, or impersonate someone. We may decline material we cannot responsibly or lawfully process. If we decline the entire order before work begins, we will refund your payment.
Ownership and sharing
You keep any rights you already have in your photographs. You authorize us to copy, process, edit, animate, store, and deliver them as needed to fulfill your order, including through the providers described in our privacy policy.
You may keep, download, and share your finished film for personal, noncommercial use, subject to the rights of people pictured and any third-party material. Ask us first about commercial use. We do not promise exclusive rights or copyright protection in AI-generated material. We will not publish your photographs or film in our portfolio, advertising, or social media without separate permission.
If something goes wrong
Please contact us so we can work toward a reasonable solution. The cancellation and refund policy below applies. Nothing here removes any consumer right, remedy, or responsibility that applicable law does not allow us to exclude.
Changes to these terms
The version accepted when you place your order governs that order unless we agree to a change with you. We may update these pages for future orders and will show the effective date.
02 / MAKING IT RIGHT
There’s room
for a conversation.
For cancellations, corrections, or refunds, email contact@laramieaiphotos.com with your order reference and what you’d like us to know.
Before work begins: request a cancellation for a full refund.
Once work begins: contact us to discuss a correction or a fair refund based on the work completed and the issue.
If we cannot deliver the agreed film: we will provide a full refund.
If the delivered film has a technical problem or does not match what we agreed, tell us so we can discuss a correction or appropriate refund. AI’s known limitations do not remove your rights if the service is defective or misdescribed. Additional photographs, a new creative direction, or extensive re-editing may need a separate estimate agreed in advance.
Approved refunds are returned through Stripe to the original payment method. Your payment provider determines how soon the credit appears. These policies do not limit rights you may have under applicable law.
03 / YOUR INFORMATION
Photographs are personal.
So is our approach.
This policy explains how we handle information from this website, orders, and related correspondence. We use it to run the service, make and deliver your film, answer questions, prevent misuse, and keep necessary business records.
What we receive
- Order information: your name, email address, optional notes, uploaded photographs, filenames, photo sequence, and finished film. Original files can contain embedded metadata, such as dates or location, which we do not automatically remove. Remove anything you do not want to share before uploading.
- Payment and service records: the price, payment status, transaction references, order status, and relevant dates. Stripe collects your payment details; our website’s server does not receive your full card number or security code.
- Messages and technical information: correspondence you send us and information needed to deliver and protect the site, such as network addresses, request information, and service logs. We store a protected value derived from your network address to limit repeated order creation.
Who helps provide the service
- Cloudflare hosts the site and stores order records, original photographs, and finished films. Customer files are in private storage, separate from the public website. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy ↗.
- Stripe processes payments and refunds and provides payment receipts. We share the email address, order reference, photo count, and price needed for checkout; we do not upload your photographs to Stripe. See Stripe’s privacy policy ↗.
- Email providers: messages to our contact address are forwarded through Cloudflare to our Gmail inbox. Related correspondence and delivery messages may be handled by Google and your email provider. See Google’s privacy policy ↗.
AI and editing services
Making your film involves sending selected photographs, relevant instructions, and sometimes intermediate clips to external AI animation and editing services. We may use products from OpenAI, Google, and xAI, choosing tools according to availability and the needs of the film. One order may use more than one provider. We also work with downloaded files on our editing devices.
Provider retention, human review, and use of inputs or outputs for model improvement can vary by product, subscription, and account settings. We cannot promise that every provider will exclude your material from training or delete it on our schedule. Review OpenAI’s privacy policy ↗, Google’s Gemini privacy information ↗, and xAI’s privacy policy ↗.
If you need a particular provider excluded, contact us before uploading so we can confirm whether we can fulfill the order under that restriction. The tools we use may change; we will update this notice and give any further notice or choice required for a material change before applying it to your photographs.
Service providers may process information in the United States or other countries under their own terms and privacy practices. We may also disclose necessary information to meet legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, resolve payment disputes, or protect people and the service.
What we do not do
We do not sell customer information or use customer photographs to train our own AI models. We do not use customer photos or finished films in public examples or marketing without separate permission. Provider processing, including any provider use for model improvement, is described in the AI section above and the linked provider policies.
Your private order link and browser storage
We save your order access key in your browser’s local storage so you can return after checkout. It has no automatic browser expiry. Clearing the site’s browser storage removes that saved access, but does not delete the order from our systems.
Anyone with your private order link can view your order details and download the finished film when available. Keep it private. The studio requires a separate owner key to access original uploads. Contact us if you think an order link has been exposed.
We do not add advertising pixels or marketing analytics to the site. Fonts and the demonstration film are served with the site. Hosting, security, checkout, and linked third-party services may use their own technical storage and logs. Visiting an external link, such as Facebook, takes you to that service’s own privacy practices.
How long we keep information
Unpaid drafts are scheduled for removal after three days; cleanup may take longer if payment status needs checking. Paid-order originals and finished films currently have no automatic deletion date and are retained for production, delivery, and follow-up. This is not a permanent archival service: keep your original photographs and download your film.
You can request deletion of your photographs or film by emailing us. We may need to verify your connection to the order. Deleting working files before completion can prevent us from fulfilling it, so we’ll discuss cancellation first. Necessary transaction, correspondence, fraud-prevention, or legal records may be kept longer. Provider records and backups may follow separate retention periods; deletion is not necessarily immediate everywhere.
Your choices and questions
Contact us to ask what information we hold about your order, correct a mistake, request access or deletion, or raise a privacy concern. Rights and exceptions vary by location; we will handle applicable requests under the law that applies. Please do not email payment-card details or unnecessary sensitive documents.
This service is intended for adults placing orders. Family photos may show children, but children should not create orders or send us personal information themselves. Contact us if a child has done so.
We take reasonable steps to protect information, but no storage or transmission method is completely secure. We may update this policy as the service changes, show the new effective date, and provide any further notice or choice required by law.
04 / A HUMAN AT THE END
