Terms of Service

Content use restrictions and licensing

All content available on the Service, including User Content and other materials hosted on Photo.travel, may be used only within the scope expressly permitted by these Terms and the functionality of the Service.

Prohibited uses

Users are prohibited from using any Service content:

• for unlawful purposes, including use in pornographic, defamatory, misleading contexts or for the promotion of violence, hatred, or discrimination;
• in violation of applicable law, industry standards, or mandatory requirements, including restrictions imposed by professional, sporting, or regulatory bodies;
• in a manner that enables third parties to download, extract, or distribute content as a standalone file separate from the Service or final project;
• by misrepresenting the origin of content or falsely claiming authorship, including presenting licensed or published content as original work.

Editorial content

Content designated as "editorial" or "for editorial use" may be cropped or technically adjusted solely to improve image quality, provided that its editorial integrity is preserved.

Any other alteration of editorial content that distorts its meaning, context, or misleads the audience is prohibited.

Additional consent for editorial use

The User may grant the Service additional consent for editorial and promotional use of uploaded content by explicitly confirming such consent through the Service interface.

If such consent is granted, the User provides the Service with a non-exclusive, royalty-free, revocable, worldwide license to use the relevant content solely for the operation, promotion, and editorial presentation of the Service, including publication on the website, social media, and partner materials of the Service, with attribution to the author unless otherwise expressly agreed.

The absence of such consent does not limit the User's right to use their content at their own discretion and does not affect the ability to publish content within the standard functionality of the Service.

Sensitive subjects and disclaimers

When using content depicting individuals or private property in potentially sensitive, controversial, or unfavorable contexts, the User must clearly indicate that such content is used for illustrative purposes only and that the depicted persons are models.

This requirement does not apply to editorial content used in good faith within a non-misleading editorial context.

Additional restrictions

Photo.travel may establish additional usage restrictions for specific categories of content or collections. Such restrictions form part of these Terms and are binding upon the User.
