Shadi Ameri Photography and Marketing ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") operates sofiaproductions.com and offers The Modern Gentleman's Dating Blueprint and related digital materials, communications, coaching, and services (collectively, the "Services"). This Privacy Policy applies to personal information collected through the Services, including landing pages, checkout and enrollment forms, course-access pages, email and text communications, and customer support.
By using the Services or providing personal information to us, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not submit personal information or use the Services.
2. Information we collect
Depending on how you interact with the Services, we may collect the following categories of information:
Identifiers and contact information, such as your name, email address, telephone number, billing address, account username, and similar identifiers.
Purchase and course information, such as the product purchased, transaction date, order number, enrollment status, course progress, refund requests, and customer-service history.
Payment information. Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers. We generally do not receive or store your full payment-card number, but we may receive limited transaction details needed to confirm and administer your purchase.
Device and usage information, such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, pages viewed, referring and exit pages, approximate location derived from IP address, and interactions with emails or website features.
Communications and voluntary submissions, such as messages, survey responses, testimonials, questions, feedback, and information you choose to share in course exercises, coaching sessions, or community spaces.
Marketing preferences, including your consent choices and whether you open, click, unsubscribe from, or otherwise interact with our communications.
Please do not submit highly sensitive information that is not necessary for us to provide the Services. Information about your personal life, relationships, or dating experiences may be sensitive; if you choose to share it, we will use it only for the purposes described in this Policy and as reasonably necessary to provide the requested service.
3. How we collect information
We collect information directly from you when you purchase, enroll, complete a form, request support, subscribe to communications, participate in the course, or otherwise contact us. We also collect certain information automatically through cookies and similar technologies, and may receive information from service providers that support checkout, payment processing, hosting, course delivery, analytics, email, text messaging, scheduling, and customer management.
4. How we use information
We may use personal information to:
process purchases, confirm transactions, create or maintain course access, and deliver digital products and services;
respond to questions, provide customer support, administer refunds, and communicate about your account or order;
send marketing emails or text messages when you have consented or when otherwise permitted by law, and honor unsubscribe or opt-out requests;
personalize and improve the Services, evaluate course engagement, troubleshoot technical issues, and understand website performance;
protect the Services, detect fraud or misuse, enforce our Terms and Conditions, and maintain security;
comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, establish or defend legal claims, and maintain appropriate business records; and
carry out another purpose disclosed to you when the information is collected or with your consent.
5. Cookies, analytics, and tracking technologies
We and our service providers may use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, and similar technologies to keep the website functioning, remember preferences, understand traffic, measure communications, prevent fraud, and improve the Services. Your browser may allow you to block or delete cookies, but doing so may affect website or course functionality.
Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" signals. Because there is not a single, universally accepted standard for responding to those signals, the Services may not respond to every Do Not Track signal. Where applicable law requires us to recognize a legally valid opt-out preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control, we will do so. Third-party features may collect information over time and across websites according to their own privacy policies.
6. How we disclose information
We do not sell personal information for money. We may disclose personal information only as reasonably necessary to operate the Services, including to:
service providers and contractors supporting payment processing, checkout, hosting, course delivery, customer management, email, text messaging, analytics, scheduling, security, and technical support, including platforms such as Digistore24 and Magic Funnels/LeadConnector where used;
professional advisers, such as accountants, insurers, attorneys, and consultants, subject to appropriate duties of confidentiality;
government authorities or other parties when required by law, legal process, or a good-faith need to protect rights, safety, property, users, or the public;
a successor or potential successor in connection with a merger, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction; and
other parties at your direction or with your consent.
We do not knowingly sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. If our practices change, we will update this Policy and provide any notices or choices required by law.
7. Marketing communications
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link in the message or contacting us. You may opt out of marketing text messages by replying STOP. Even after opting out of marketing, we may send non-promotional communications about your purchase, account, course access, support request, or other transaction.
8. Data retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, administer purchases and course access, meet accounting, tax, legal, security, and recordkeeping obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods vary according to the type of information, the purpose for collection, and applicable requirements. When information is no longer reasonably needed, we may delete, de-identify, or securely dispose of it.
9. Data security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no website, transmission, storage system, or security measure is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you use the Services and transmit information at your own risk.
10. Your choices and privacy rights
You may ask to access, correct, or delete personal information you provided to us, or withdraw consent where consent is the basis for processing, by contacting us using the information below. We may need to verify your identity and may retain information when required or permitted by law, including transaction, tax, fraud-prevention, and legal records.
Residents of California and certain other jurisdictions may have additional rights under applicable law, which may include rights to know, access, correct, delete, obtain a copy of, or opt out of certain uses or disclosures of personal information, and a right not to be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights. Some statutory rights apply only to businesses that meet specified legal thresholds. We will evaluate and respond to verified requests as required by the law that applies to us.
An authorized agent may submit a request where permitted by law. We may require proof of authorization and identity verification. To submit a privacy request, email [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy Request."
11. Children's privacy
The Services are intended only for adults age 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, and we do not knowingly offer or sell the dating course to anyone under 18. If you believe a child has provided information to us, contact us so we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.
12. Third-party websites and services
The Services may link to or integrate with third-party websites and platforms. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review those policies before providing information to a third party.
13. International users
The Company is based in the United States. If you access the Services from another country, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other locations where service providers operate, subject to applicable law.
14. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised version on the website and change the effective or last-updated date. If changes are material, we may provide additional notice by email, through the Services, or by another reasonable method when required by law. Your continued use after the effective date of an update constitutes acknowledgment of the revised Policy.
15. Contact us
Questions, privacy requests, and concerns may be directed to:
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Shadi Ameri Photography and Marketing ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your access to and use of sofiaproductions.com, The Modern Gentleman's Dating Blueprint, and related digital content, communications, coaching, community features, and services (collectively, the "Services").
By purchasing, enrolling in, accessing, or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not purchase or use the Services.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding agreement to purchase or use the Services. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.
3. Educational purpose; no guarantees
The Services provide general educational information about dating, communication, personal presentation, and related topics. They are not therapy, mental-health care, medical care, legal advice, or a matchmaking service. The Services are not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional who understands your individual circumstances.
Results vary. We do not promise or guarantee dates, relationships, marriage, reconciliation, improved app performance, specific responses from another person, or any financial, personal, or emotional outcome. Your decisions, actions, safety, communications, and relationships remain your responsibility.
4. Purchases and payment
Prices, included materials, and payment terms are presented at checkout. You agree to provide accurate, current billing and contact information and authorize the applicable payment processor to charge the selected payment method. Payment processing may be provided by a third party, such as Digistore24, whose additional checkout or payment terms may apply.
Unless the checkout page clearly states that a subscription or installment plan applies, a course purchase is a one-time purchase. If an installment plan is offered, you remain responsible for all installments included in the agreed purchase price, subject to applicable law and the written terms presented at checkout.
5. Three-day refund policy
You may request a refund within three (3) calendar days after the date of your initial course purchase. The request must be sent by email to [email protected] no later than 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the third calendar day after purchase. Include your full name, the email address used for the order, and your order or transaction number, if available.
Once a refund is approved or issued, your course license and access may be terminated. After the three-day period, all sales are final except where a longer refund, cancellation, or other remedy is required by applicable law or expressly provided by the payment processor's mandatory terms. Processing times after approval depend on the payment provider and your financial institution.
6. Account and course access
You are responsible for safeguarding login credentials and for all activity under your account. Course access is personal to you and may not be transferred, resold, shared, or made available to another person. Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access.
We may update, reorganize, replace, or discontinue portions of the Services for legitimate business, legal, technical, or educational reasons. We will use reasonable efforts to avoid materially reducing paid access without an appropriate substitute or remedy where required by law.
7. Limited license and intellectual property
The Services and all included videos, recordings, scripts, lessons, worksheets, graphics, photographs, downloads, branding, text, and other materials are owned by or licensed to the Company and are protected by intellectual-property laws. Subject to these Terms and payment of applicable fees, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the purchased materials solely for your personal, non-commercial use.
You may not copy, reproduce, record, republish, upload, post, transmit, distribute, sell, sublicense, create derivative products from, publicly display, teach from, or exploit course materials except with our prior written permission or as expressly allowed by law. You may download worksheets or resources only when the Services make them available for download and only for your own use.
8. Acceptable conduct
You agree not to:
share account credentials or permit another person to access paid materials through your account;
record, scrape, bypass access controls, interfere with security, introduce malicious code, or disrupt the Services;
use the Services or course strategies to harass, threaten, deceive, stalk, exploit, discriminate against, or violate the consent, privacy, safety, or legal rights of another person;
post unlawful, abusive, defamatory, infringing, sexually explicit, or confidential content in any community or interactive area;
misrepresent your identity, affiliation, qualifications, or intentions; or
use the Services for an unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms.
9. Coaching, communities, and interactions
If the Services include coaching calls, group sessions, comments, or community spaces, you are responsible for what you choose to disclose. Do not share another person's private information without permission. We may moderate, remove content, restrict participation, or terminate access when reasonably necessary to protect participants, enforce these Terms, or comply with law.
We do not control or endorse statements or conduct by other participants and are not responsible for off-platform interactions. Use independent judgment and appropriate safety precautions in all online and in-person dating activity.
10. Testimonials, feedback, and user submissions
You retain ownership of content you submit. If you voluntarily provide feedback, you permit us to use it to improve the Services without compensation. We will not use your name, image, identifiable story, or testimonial for public marketing without your permission, except where you have independently posted it publicly and applicable law permits its use. Any separate testimonial or media release will control the scope of that permission.
11. Third-party services and links
The Services may rely on or link to third-party platforms, applications, payment processors, dating services, social networks, or websites. We do not control and are not responsible for their availability, content, policies, security, decisions, or conduct. Your use of a third-party service is governed by that third party's terms and privacy policy.
12. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or terminate access if you materially breach these Terms, fail to pay an amount due, misuse the Services, infringe intellectual property, threaten the safety or rights of others, or engage in fraud or unlawful conduct. Where practical and appropriate, we may provide notice and an opportunity to correct the issue. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including payment obligations, intellectual-property provisions, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnity, and dispute terms.
13. Disclaimer of warranties
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR SUITABLE FOR EVERY USER. Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded.
14. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY AND ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, RELATIONSHIP OUTCOMES, OR PERSONAL DECISIONS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR A CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US FOR THE SPECIFIC SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THE SIX MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY. These limitations do not apply where prohibited by law, including liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.
15. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its owners, employees, and contractors from third-party claims, losses, liabilities, damages, and reasonable expenses arising from your unlawful conduct, your infringement of another person's rights, your misuse of the Services, or your material breach of these Terms. This provision does not require you to indemnify any party for that party's own unlawful conduct or negligence where such indemnification is prohibited.
16. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Before filing a lawsuit, you and the Company agree to make a good-faith effort for at least 30 days to resolve the dispute informally by written notice describing the issue and requested resolution. Notices to the Company must be sent to [email protected].
If the dispute is not resolved informally, the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in San Diego County, California, except that either party may bring an eligible claim in small claims court. Nothing in this section limits a consumer protection or other right that cannot lawfully be waived.
17. Changes to the Services or Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect changes in the Services, business practices, or law. The updated Terms will be posted with a revised effective or last-updated date. Material changes will apply prospectively unless law requires otherwise, and we may provide additional notice when appropriate. Your continued use after revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of those revised Terms.
18. General provisions
These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any checkout terms expressly incorporated into your purchase form the entire agreement concerning the Services and supersede prior discussions about the same subject. If a provision is found unenforceable, it will be modified only to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions will continue in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign your rights under these Terms without our written consent; we may assign these Terms in connection with a business transfer or reorganization.
