Welcome to Omidia ("Company," "we," "our," or "us"). These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "Customer," or "you") and Omidia, governing your access to and use of our virtual staging platform, website, and related services (collectively, the "Services").
BY ACCESSING OR USING OUR SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use our Services.
1.2 Modifications to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email to registered users or through a prominent notice on our platform. Your continued use of the Services after such modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
1.3 Governing Law and Jurisdiction

2. Service Description
Omidia provides AI-powered virtual staging and real estate media services, including:
- AI-generated virtual staging of property photographs
- Professional real estate photography and media capture
- Digital enhancement and modification of real estate images
- Furniture and decor visualization services
- Related creative and visualization tools ("NeoStage")
3. Photography Service Terms
3.1 Property Readiness
The Client is responsible for ensuring the property is clean, decluttered, and ready for photography prior to the photographer's arrival. Photographers are not responsible for cleaning, moving furniture, or staging the property on-site. If the property is not ready, the photographer may shoot "as-is" or a cancellation fee may apply if the shoot cannot proceed.
3.2 Cancellation and Rescheduling
To ensure fair scheduling for all clients, the following cancellation and rescheduling policy applies to all photography and media appointments:
- Advance Notice (>24 hours): $0 (No Penalty). We appreciate early notice to allow us to re-route or backfill the appointment.
- Late Notice (<24 hours): $50 Flat Fee.
- On-Site / Not Ready: $75 + 50% of invoice. Applied if the photographer arrives and the property is not ready or accessible, to recoup hard costs and travel.
- Wait Time (Delays): $50 per 30 minutes of waiting if forced to wait for cleaners, stagers, moving trucks, or access.
- Weather/Safety: $0 (Free Reschedule). Reschedules are accommodated without penalty if weather conditions (heavy rain/high winds) prevent safe operation of equipment like drones.
3.3 Copyright and Portfolio Usage
Omidia retains all copyrights and ownership of all media created, including photographs, video, and virtual staging. Upon full payment, the Client is granted a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the media solely for marketing the specific property listing. This license covers standard marketing channels (MLS, social media, print) and is valid until the property is sold, the listing agreement ends, or the license is revoked due to a breach of these Terms. Media may not be resold or transferred to third parties (e.g., other agents, stagers, builders) without Omidia's written permission.
Portfolio Rights: Omidia explicitly reserves the irrevocable right to use any photos, video footage, and virtual staging produced for the Client in our own portfolio, website, social media, and marketing materials to demonstrate our services and capabilities.
3.4 Weather-Informed Scheduling
Omidia provides real-time weather guidance within our scheduling platform to help Clients select optimal shoot dates. This guidance is advisory only and does not constitute a guarantee of weather conditions.
If the Client chooses to proceed with a scheduled shoot during weather conditions that may adversely affect exterior photo or video quality (including but not limited to rain, fog, heavy overcast, or snow), the Client acknowledges and agrees that:
- (a) The decision to proceed is the Client's sole responsibility;
- (b) Omidia is not liable for any reduction in exterior image quality attributable to weather conditions;
- (c) Any return visit required to reshoot exterior images due to weather-related quality concerns will be subject to a return visit fee of 50% of the original photography session cost.
Omidia reserves the right to cancel or refuse to commence a shoot if conditions pose a safety risk to personnel or equipment, in which case the appointment will be rescheduled at no cost to the Client per Section 3.2.
4. Delivery Timelines & Liability
4.1 Standard Delivery Windows
- Photography & Floor Plans: Next business day by 5:00 PM.
- Cinematic Video & Drone Services: 48 to 72 hours (2 to 3 business days) resulting from the intensive post-production required.

All turnaround times are calculated from the conclusion of the on-site shoot and are measured in business days (Monday-Friday, excluding statutory holidays in British Columbia).
4.2 Expedited/Rush Delivery
Expedited services (e.g., 24-hour video turnaround) may be available upon request for an additional "Rush Fee." Availability of rush services is not guaranteed and must be confirmed in writing by Omidia prior to the shoot.
4.3 Limitation of Liability for MLS and Listings
Omidia is not liable for any lost marketing days, delayed listings, or fines imposed by real estate boards (including but not limited to the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver or Fraser Valley Real Estate Board) resulting from standard production timelines, unforeseen editing delays, or weather-related cancellations (e.g., drone grounding due to wind/rain).
4.4 Regulatory Compliance
The Client (Real Estate Agent or Homeowner) holds final responsibility for ensuring that all delivered media complies with the advertising guidelines set forth by the British Columbia Financial Services Authority (BCFSA), the British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA), and local MLS rules prior to public posting. Omidia assumes no liability for compliance violations or misrepresentations resulting from the Client's use of the provided media.
