  • Your privacy is important. It is Big Island Images LLC's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating this website.

    • We will not collect personal information for any purpose or task other than those (e.g. photo purchase) specifically requested by a website user.

    • We will only use the information obtained that is essential to complete a user request.

    • We will only retain personal information for as long as necessary for the fulfilment of those purposes.

    • Wherever possible, we will enable interactions with website users to be carried out on an anonymous basis. Unless it is essential to complete a user request, we will not solicit or require that users provide us with personal information or full identification.

    • Before, or at the time of collecting personal information, we will identify the purposes for which information is being collected.

    • Personal data should be relevant to the purposes for which it is to be used, and, to the extent necessary for those purposes, should be accurate, complete, and up-to-date. We cannot be responsible for harm or damages of any kind that might result from a user providing inaccurate or false personal information.

    • We will protect personal information by using reasonable security safeguards against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.

    • We will make readily available to customers information about our policies and practices relating to the management of personal information.

     

    We are committed to conducting our business in accordance with these principles in order to ensure that the confidentiality of personal information is protected and maintained. Big Island Images LLC may change this privacy policy from time to time at Big Island Images LLC's sole discretion.

  • Your satisfaction with a photo purchase is our highest priority, and we are committed to achieving that.
     
    Our prints and mounting are all executed by a third party professional photofinishing lab (Bay Photo, hereafter shown as BP). They receive your order and ship directly to you. So our return policy must be consistent with the BP return policy, which can be found online. While each case is different, in the few instances where I have personally received a faulty shipment, they have been quick to remake or otherwise remedy the problem. Situations where a return or replacement may be possible include:

    • The print is significantly different than what appears on bigislandview.com. Once confirmed we would resolve this problem with a remake, at no cost to you.

    • The print or mount was not correctly manufactured. We would pursue this problem with BP on your behalf and have the error corrected or the print replaced.

    • The print order is incorrectly transmitted to BP, resulting in the wrong product being created and shipped. We would have a replacement made at no cost.

    • The print is damaged in shipment due to inadequate packaging by BP. This is rare, as prints are always thoroughly packed by the lab. Most likely the shipper would need to be engaged to determine fault and appropriate remedy.
       

    Situations where a return or replacement will be difficult or impossible include:

    • The buyer simply does not like the print, once having received it.

    • The buyer made an undetected error in entering the order on bigislandview.com

    • The buyer wishes to cancel the order after having placed it. If notified in time, we would attempt to cancel the order with BP. Orders move quickly into production, so this may not be possible if the cancel request is not promptly made.

    • The print is damaged in some after receipt by the purchaser.
       

    The situations listed above are common examples, and other situations may arise. We are a small business and cannot absorb the cost of addressing all possible problems, but we recognize that our reputation rests on producing highest quality products and satisfied customers, so we will work with you in every case to try to achieve that.

  • This Cookie Policy explains how we uses cookies to recognize you when you visit our website at  www.bigislandview.com  ("Website").

    What are cookies?

    Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Big Island Images LLC) are called "first-party cookies." Currently, there are no first-party cookies set by this website. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). Most third-party cookies on this website have been set by the website hosting company wix.com in order to facilitate operation of this website.
