a. ALGARVE REFLECTIONS – MATHIAS EXPLORES 
Introduction
Thank you for your interest in the Algarve Reflections Pack.

If you have any questions related to your purchase, you can contact talk.to.us@machicostore.com. For specific session planning, you will be in direct contact with the photographer.

Purpose
This document regulates the terms and conditions regarding the photography services provided by Mathias Fernandes as part of the Algarve Reflections Pack purchased through www.machicostore.com.

The Experience
