2.2 License for Downloaded Content
All of the Platform Content is owned by Popcam. All rights not expressly granted in these Terms of Use are reserved by Popcam and suppliers of Content. Content made available for viewing, downloading, exporting, or any other purpose is for the pleasure of the Member, but does not constitute a transfer of ownership. You may use Content on the Platform for Platform related experiences. You may only download Content if it is made readily available to do so by Popcam via a “download”, “share”, “save”, or “export” button.
You may use downloaded Content in any way that is not restricted (see Restricted Uses below). Subject to those restrictions and the rest of these Terms of Use, the rights granted to you by Popcam in Content that you download (the “Licensed Content”) are:
- Perpetual, meaning there is no expiration or end date on your rights to use the Content.
- Non-exclusive, meaning that you do not have exclusive rights to use the Content. Popcam can license the same Content to others.
- Unlimited, meaning you can use the Content in an unlimited number of projects and in any media.
- Without Credit, meaning you do not need to include a photo credit for commercial use, but if you are using Content for editorial purposes, you must include the following credit adjacent to the Content or in visual production credits: "Provided by Popcam."
For purposes of this agreement, "use" means to copy, reproduce, modify, edit, synchronize, perform, display, broadcast, publish, or otherwise make use of.
Member can use Licensed Content for: websites; blog posts; social media; advertisements; marketing campaigns; corporate presentations; newspapers; magazines; books; film and television productions; web and mobile applications; products for personal use; product packaging.
Restricted Uses of Content include:
- No Unlawful Use. You may not use Content in a pornographic, defamatory or other unlawful manner.
- No False Representation of Authorship. You may not falsely represent that you are the original creator of a work that is, or is made up largely of, downloaded Content.
- No Products for Resale. Unless you purchase an extended license, you may not use Content in connection with any goods or services intended for resale or distribution where the primary value lies in the Content itself.
- No Electronic Templates. Unless you purchase an extended license, you may not use Content in electronic or digital templates intended for resale (for example, website templates, business card templates, electronic greeting card templates, brochure design templates).
- Limited Print Run. Unless you purchase an extended license, you may not reproduce the Content more than 500,000 times in physical print form. This restriction does not apply to electronic reproduction.
- No Removal of Source Metadata. Unless you purchase an extended license, you may not remove the copyright symbol, the name of Popcam, the Content's identification number or any other information that may be embedded in the electronic file containing the original Content, and to maintain appropriate security to protect the Content from unauthorized use by third parties. You may make one (1) copy of the Content for back-up purposes.
Popcam reserves the right to monitor downloads and user activity to ensure compliance with these Terms of Use. If Popcam determines that you are in breach of this or any other term of this agreement, it may suspend access to your account and seek further legal remedies.
Upon reasonable notice, you agree to provide Popcam with sample copies of projects or end uses that contain licensed Content, which may include providing Popcam with free of charge access to any pay-walled or otherwise restricted access website or platform where Content is reproduced. In addition, upon reasonable notice, Popcam may, at its discretion, either through its own employees or through a third party, audit your records directly related to this agreement and your use of licensed Content in order to verify compliance with these Terms of Use. Where Popcam reasonably believes that Content is being used outside of the scope of the license granted under this agreement, you agree, at Popcam’s request, to provide a certificate of compliance signed by an officer of your organization, in a form to be approved by Popcam.
2.3 Licensed Transfer
Unless given Popcam’s prior written consent, the licensed rights to use downloaded Content are personal to you and are non-transferable and non-sublicensable, meaning that you cannot transfer or sublicense them to anyone else. There are two exceptions:
- Employer or client or team or group. If you are downloading on behalf of your Group, then your Group can use the Content. In that case, you represent and warrant that you have full legal authority to bind your Group to these Terms of Use. If you do not have that authority, then your Group may not use the Content.
- Subcontractors. You may allow subcontractors (for example, your printer or mailing house) or distributors to use Content in any production or distribution process related to your final project or end use. These subcontractors and distributors may not use the Content for any other purpose.
Please note that user restrictions apply. Each license is unique to a single Member. This means that you may share Content within your Group with your unique licence, but the Content may only be available to one person at any one time. Unless you purchase an extended license, you may not store the Content on a server (giving more than one person simultaneous access to the Content). Multiple users may download and licence the same file, but must do so using their unique Member account.
Popcam may assign the Agreement, without notice or consent, to any corporate affiliate or to any successor in interest, provided that such entity agrees to be bound by these terms.
2.4 License Termination/Cancellation/Withdrawal
- Termination. Any Content license is effective until it is terminated by either party. You can terminate any Content license by ceasing use of the Content and deleting or destroying any copies that were derived from your license. Popcam may terminate any license at any time if you fail to comply with the Agreement, in which case you must immediately: cease using the Content; delete or destroy any copies; and, if requested, confirm to Popcam in writing that you have complied with these requirements.
- Social Media Termination. If you use the Content on a social media platform or other third party website and the platform or website uses (or announces that it plans to use) the Content for its own purpose or in a way that is contrary to these Terms of Use, your Content licence shall immediately terminate.
- Content Withdrawal. Popcam may discontinue licensing any item of Content at any time in its sole discretion. Upon notice from Popcam, or upon your knowledge that any Content may be subject to a claim of infringement of a third party's right for which Popcam may be liable, Popcam may require you to immediately, and at your own expense: cease using the Content, delete or destroy any copies; and ensure that your clients, distributors, team, and/or employer do likewise.
2.5 Content Supply Agreement
Popcam has full ownership and full rights to use, display, make available for viewing, and licence any and all Content for use on and off of the Popcam Platform in any way that it desires. Content provided on the Platform is sourced in multiple ways, including without limitation,
- Photographer Upload. Content provided on the Platform can be sourced through Photographers. Photographers are either direct employees of Popcam or are individual photographers or photography firms who have entered into a work-for-hire agreement or other agreement that provides for transfer of ownership of photography assets to Popcam (herein referred to as “Photographers”) with Popcam. As a Photographer, you agree and acknowledge that your acceptance of these Terms of Use constitutes a signed, written agreement. Any photography assets or other work (“Work”) created during or in conjunction with any and all shoots you perform as a Photographer on behalf of Popcam (directly or in providing products or services to or for a Popcam client/customer or at the direction of Popcam), either solely or jointly with others, whether or not such Work is made or conceived during business hours or with the use of Popcam’s facilities, materials or personnel, and whether or not such Work is able to be copyrighted, is a “work made for hire” as that term is defined under the copyright law of the United States, and Popcam may register the copyright in such Work as author and copyright owner thereof. In the event that a Work is not considered to be a “work made for hire,” Photographer, without royalty or other consideration, does hereby forever sell, assign, transfer, release and convey, exclusively, irrevocably and unconditionally, to Popcam, its successors and assigns, Photographer’s entire right, title and interest in and to each such Work.
- Member Upload. From time-to-time, Popcam may make Content upload and capture opportunities available to you (either through direct upload by you, or by capture of images by the Platform through technology made available for your use by Popcam). If you elect to take advantage of the upload or capture opportunities, then you agree to grant Popcam a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, and worldwide license to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate, and create derivative works of (the “License”) the Content that you upload or that is captured. This means that Popcam will have complete rights to display, reproduce, and make available for download the Content that you upload. You represent and warrant that all Content uploaded by you is fully owned by you (or that you have the authority to grant Popcam the rights provided in the License), and that such uploaded Content will not infringe any copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right of any third party. Any breach of this warranty will be subject to the indemnification provisions detailed in these Terms of Use. In the event that you want Popcam to cease using the uploaded Content, then you must contact Popcam with specific details describing the Content and the limitations you wish to place on Popcam’s use of it. Your upload of Content does not guarantee that Popcam will use or display it on the Platform.
3. CREDITS & PLATFORM PURCHASES
3.1 Credits
Credits (“Credits”) are a flexible tool to represent value held in the Platform and with Popcam. Credits can be used to engage services, order products, enhance Platform experiences, and interact with Platform actions which require and consume (“Spend”) Credits. The Credits economy (“Economy”) is designed to allow you to flexibly interact with and utilize the Platform. Popcam offers individual and bundled groups of Credits (“Credits Packages”) available for sale for various prices. These Terms of Use contain important information regarding Credits Packages, the Economy, and the terms of Spending Credits. Many actions taken on the Platform regarding Credits constitute a binding agreement between you and Popcam and will govern your acquisition, use, and balance (“Balance”) of Credits.
Acquiring and maintaining a Balance entitles you to take advantage of certain Platform experiences (“Experiences”) that may change from time to time and, which may be made available for limited times, all as determined by Popcam in its sole discretion. By purchasing or claiming free Credits from Popcam, you accept the terms of this agreement and any modified terms included therein.
3.2 Purchasing Credits
Credits Packages can be purchased from the Credits Purchase Page within the membership portion of the Platform. When purchasing on behalf of a group or organization, you warrant that you are authorized to make said purchase and that the billing information provided is accurate.
3.3 Credits Package Subscription
Credits Packages may include regular recurring purchases on a defined schedule (“Credits Package Subscription.”) These Credits Package Subscriptions will start on the date of your Credits Package purchase and will continue until terminated as defined in “3.11 Subscription Termination” below. You may change your auto-renewal preferences in your Platform account. Popcam may deactivate your Subscription without prior notice if Popcam is unable to process payment provided by you.
3.4 Eligibility
To purchase a Credits Package, you must be 18 years of age or older, have a Platform Member account, and agree to these Terms of Use and the Popcam Privacy Policy. In the event that you purchase a Credits Package on behalf of a group you verify that you are authorized to do so. If you manage a Subscription on behalf of a group that requires regular interval consent to renew contracts, then your booking of individual services will act as your consent and each service booked update the Term of your Subscription.
3.5 Acquiring Credits
Credits can be acquired in a variety of ways.
- Purchased, Credits Packages may be purchased with money via the Platform. The cost and subsequent value of Credits may fluctuate from time to time. Individual credit value may increase or decrease as the Economy changes. No guarantee is made to Credit value in terms of dollars or other controlled currencies.
- Awarded, Popcam may, from time to time, award, give away, or make opportunities available to earn Credits. At its sole discretion, Popcam may award Credits for purchases made, referrals, feedback, and other actions. The distribution of awarded, given away, or earned Credits by Popcam does not require Popcam to provide the same or any offering at any time or to any Member in the future.
- Transferred, from time to time, Popcam may allow Members to transfer Credits to other Members. In the event that Popcam makes a Credits transfer opportunity available, and you elect to participate in said Credits transfer, then you understand that you may give or receive the agreed upon number of Credits to or from the other Member which will add to or deduct said Credits from your Balance accordingly.
Upon notice, Popcam reserves the right to revalue or modify, without liability to Members, all or part of the Economy and Credits’ value structure and offers and any product or service made available by Popcam. Popcam reserves the right to adjudicate all Credits discrepancies in its sole discretion, and you agree to abide by any such adjudication. You can check your Balance at any time on your Member account on the Platform.
3.6 Spending Credits
Popcam may populate the Economy with various services or products on which you can Spend Credits. By selecting “purchase”, “book”, “schedule”, “subscribe”, or “approve” on any service or product made available in the Economy, you are consenting to Spend Credits on said service or product and understand that doing so will reduce Credits from your Balance. When Spending Credits on any services or products made available to you, you accept all terms laid out in these Terms of Use and also the specific terms as laid out here:
- Services – For all services, such as photoshoots, video shoots, event services, personal services and more, you will provide all relevant details required to perform the service, as required by Popcam to book the service. Popcam will only accept service requests that are made far enough in advance of the service due date, as determined by Popcam in its sole discretion. Popcam reserves the right to decline any service request for any reason. Based on the details that you provide about the service, Popcam will list the number of Credits required to book the service. It is up to your sole discretion to decide if you want to Spend your Credits on the service that you are booking. If you opt to book the service, you authorize the Credits to be deducted from your Balance and commit to the details that you outlined, and Popcam agreed upon, in the service request. Upon booking a service the following is agreed upon by you and Popcam:
- You will organize all aspects of the service not claimed as the responsibility of Popcam and will not expect Popcam to assist in anything other than the agreed upon service.
- You will organize sufficient access to all resources required by Popcam to complete your service; including, but not limited to space, tools, materials, persons and support.
- You will not hold Popcam responsible for any reduction in quality of service or Content created during the service for any reason outside of Popcam’s reasonable control.
- You will notify Popcam immediately of any changes to the scope, timing, or other details of the service requested while understanding that any changes may affect the ability of Popcam to complete the service. If, at the sole discretion of Popcam, changes to the service request are not possible for the agreed upon number of Credits, then Popcam will propose a new number of Credits required to complete the service and it will be up to you to decide if you want to update the number of Credits that you will Spend on the service. If it is necessary to cancel the service request due to changes, then the terms outlined in the “Credits Refunds” section herein will take effect.
- If booking a service on behalf of a group, that you are certified to make an authorized purchase on behalf of the group and that all Members associated with the group that you represent are consenting to Popcam providing the booked service and creating Content that may include imagery and references to their likeness and information.
- Popcam will perform the service to the high quality of Popcam’s standards and will seek to capture and create the highest quality Content possible.
- Popcam may, by its own processes or through the use of a third party, edit any Content in any way that it sees fit before making it available for you or anyone else on the Platform.
- Understanding that Popcam works with a variety of team members and support persons which are a mixture of employees, freelancers, and third-party vendors, you authorize Popcam, at its sole discretion to choose any person, persons, or third-party vendor or vendors to complete your service.
- Popcam will own all Content that is created while completing your service unless specifically agreed upon by you and Popcam and reduced to writing. Popcam may make the Content created while completing the service available to you or other Platform Members in the form of a licensed download, product, or otherwise at any time regardless of the existence or status of your account.
- Popcam will make a reasonable attempt to deliver Content that is created while completing your service to you within five days of the service date. If said Content is not delivered to you within five days of the service date, then you may notify Popcam of the delay and then, upon receipt of your notification of delay, Popcam will have an additional ten days to make the Content available to you.
- Products – For all products, such as physical products, digital products, and other creations, Popcam will provide a detailed description of the product, its cost in Credits, and any relevant details regarding your purchase or subscription to the product. It will be at your sole discretion to Spend your Credits on any product made available to you. Credits are available for redemption for the purchase of products only while supplies last. Product quantities may be limited. By purchasing a product, you warrant that you have thoroughly researched the product and there are no refunds for product purchases. Pop cam will produce and ship any products purchased with Credits within, whichever is later of, 60 days after the principal photography sitting, 60 days after the mutually agreed upon second photography sitting, or the date of the product order. If Popcam is unable to fulfill this obligation due to a delay by you in meeting any of your obligations, Popcam will produce and ship such products within, at the latest, 30 days after you have met your obligations. You and Popcam may mutually agree upon a postponed shipment date when there is no representative available to receive the products. You may immediately cancel your Subscription for any future year upon Popcam failure to meet any such deadline, provided that you were timely in meeting your obligations.
If you have more Credits than are necessary to complete a purchase, the appropriate number of Credits required to complete the purchase will be applied and deducted from your Balance; Credits not needed to complete the purchase will remain in your account. If you have Credits in your Balance, but not enough to complete the purchase, you will be prompted to purchase another Credits Package or may be given an opportunity to earn awarded Credits or an awarded Credits Package.
3.7 Refunds
Cash refunds for unspent credits: Upon receiving your written refund request within 14 days of purchasing credits, popcam will refund any unspent credits from said purchase. After 14 days, your purchase is no longer eligible for refund. Refunds will be processed to your original payment method. To request a refund, email help@popcam.me
Refunding credits for canceled services & products: You may cancel any booked service any time before the service is rendered. If you cancel a service more than 14 days before the service is rendered, any credits spent on said service will be added back to your Balance. If you cancel a service within 14 days of the service, Popcam reserves the right to refund all, none, or part of your Credits back to your Balance at its sole discretion. Credits spent on Products are not eligible for return. All requests for refunds must be made in writing or by canceling the order on the Platform. If the request is approved, Popcam will issue a credit to your account Balance.
3.8 Economy Changes
Popcam may modify any aspect of the Economy at any time and for any reason in its sole discretion, including the availability or Credits price of any Service or Product. You may request delivery of the originally offered service or product at the price in Credits published when you purchased your current Credits and Popcam can choose to deliver the originally offered service or product for the requested Credits, or give you a pro rated refund of the purchase price of the credits associated with the originally selected service or product.
3.9 Credits Expiration
Credits will expire at the end of the Term outlined with your Subscription or Credits Purchase. Some subscription packages may define a portion of unused credits available to “rollover” to the next Subscription period. If you do not redeem Credits within the designated time frame, you forfeit all such Credits. Credits are not redeemable for cash. You can always check your Credits balance in your Member account.
3.10 Transfer of Credits
You may only assign or transfer Credits to other Member accounts in the following instances:
- If Popcam makes the opportunity for Member to Member transfers available to you via the Platform.
- If Popcam makes Member Credits pooling available to Members who want to merge Credits for the purposes of spending merged Credits.
- If Popcam makes other Credit transfer options available.
In all cases, it is at the sole discretion of Popcam to allow you or any other Member to transfer Credits to another Member. From time to time, Popcam may permit transfers, but doing so does not require or set precedence for Popcam to permit transfers at any other time.
3.11 General Credits and Credits Package Conditions
Awarded Credits may be taxable, depending on the value of the item and the federal, state, and local tax laws applicable to you; you are solely responsible for reporting such items on your tax returns and paying any associated tax liability. Popcam reserves the right at its sole discretion to prohibit any Member from participating in any aspect of the Platform or Economy if Popcam deems or suspects that such Member has engaged in or has attempted to engage in any of the following:
- acting in violation of these Terms of Use,
- damaging, tampering with or corrupting the operation of the Platform,
- acting with intent to harass or abuse any other Member,
- acting with any inappropriate, fraudulent, potentially fraudulent, or unusual behavior or activity; or
- activity deemed in the sole discretion of Popcam to be generally inconsistent with the intended operation of the Platform and Economy.
Any decision Popcam makes relating to termination or suspension of any Member’s participation in the Platform, the Economy, and ability to hold a Balance shall be final and binding in all respects. Popcam shall be the sole determiner in cases of suspected abuse, fraud, or breach of these Terms of Use.
3.12 Subscription Termination
Your Credits Package Subscription will automatically renew at the end of every Term for another Term unless terminated by you or Popcam as set forth in this Section. Popcam may terminate it, with notice given to you, for any reason.
In order for you to terminate your subscription, you must provide Popcam no less than thirty days written notice of your intent to do so. If, within that thirty days, no more Credits Package renewals are scheduled to occur, then you are not liable for any additional purchases. However, if, within that thirty days, one or more Credits Package renewals are scheduled to occur, then you are responsible for the payment of said Credits Package or Credits Packages. Knowing that certain Platform features are only available to Credits Package and Subscription Members, you understand that terminating your Subscription may alter the Platform features that are available to you. Popcam retains the right to display, sell, and promote all of its Content regardless of the status of your or other Member Subscriptions, Balances, and accounts. You understand that your termination of a Subscription does not deactivate or delete your account or account information. This means that if you terminate your subscription, you may still be able to access and use certain features of the Platform and your account.
3.13 Payment Plans
Any payment plan on unpaid balances is offered as a courtesy only, and payment of such shall be treated as payment of debt and is not to be interpreted as a proration of services purchased. If you fail to pay an invoice in full within the time specified, Popcam may add a service charge of 1.5% per month, or such lesser amount as is allowed by law, on any unpaid balance until payment is received, provided that Popcam has first provided notice of such unpaid balance, and provided 15 days opportunity to cure.
3.14 Force Majeure
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither party shall be liable for any delays or failures in performance due to any of the following causes (which events and/or circumstances are hereinafter referred to as “Force Majeure”), to the extent beyond its reasonable control: acts of God, accident, riots, war, terrorist act, epidemic, pandemic, quarantine, civil commotion, breakdown of communication facilities, breakdown of web host, breakdown of internet service provider, natural catastrophes, governmental acts or omissions, changes in laws or regulations, national strikes, fire, explosion, generalized lack of availability of raw materials or energy. For the avoidance of doubt, Force Majeure shall not include a party's financial inability to perform its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of such an occurrence, each party agrees to make a good faith effort to perform its obligations hereunder. In the event a Force Majeure event causes it to be commercially impracticable, illegal, or impossible for you to utilize any portion of the Credits remaining in your Credits Package during the current Term of such Credits Package, you may roll over such unused credits to be used in a subsequent Term; or, alternatively, if both you and Popcam agree, you may be released from your obligations and receive a refund of your credits balance.
4. MANAGING GROUPS
4.1 Management of Groups
Your Member account is unique to you and information you submit to the Platform reflects you as an individual. You may, from time to time, be linked to manage (“Manage”) and administer groups, which are a multi-Member organization in which Members share affiliation and Connected to the collective organization (“Group”). In that event, you certify that you will only approve a Connection to a group if you are fully authorized by that group to manage, administer, represent, and act on behalf of the group. In the event that you are Connected to a group that you are not authorized to be Connected to, you agree to contact Popcam immediately to address the misplaced access and cooperate in correcting the discrepancy.
4.2 Group Credits Package Subscriptions
As an Admin of your group, you may be able to purchase Credits Packages and sign up for Subscriptions on behalf of the group. In doing so, you understand that you are binding the group to the terms outlined in the Credits & Platform Purchases section of these Terms of Use as if the group were a Member of the Platform. Even if, in the future, you are no longer an Admin of the group, your actions taken to activate Credits Package Subscriptions for the group will persist for the Term and automatically renew until canceled.
If your Group is a greek chapter whose headquarters license agreement is managed by Affinity Licensing, and your Group has entered into more than one contract for a physical composite for the same school (academic) year(s), the contract for such physical composite first signed shall be enforceable and all other conflicting contracts shall be null and void without penalty to your Group. If your Group has a contract for a school (academic) year for a physical composite signed prior to your contract with Popcam for the same year, you agree to only use Popcam in ways that are not in conflict with such prior contract, including controlling the services and products you spend credits on, so that such prior contract is never able to cause your agreement with Popcam to become null and/or void.
4.3 Inviting Members and Group Connections
As an Admin of a group, you may be able to invite Members to the platform. If you invite Members to the platform, you understand that they will be automatically connected to the Group and will immediately have access to all of the Group’s Content including the Group’s Private Content.
4.4 Indemnification and Discounts
From time to time, Popcam may provide Groups with certain discounts on Credits Packages (in relation to overlap costs with another photography vendor, certain incentives, upgrades, and other promotions), and may provide indemnification of certain fees that could be incurred by Groups buying and active Subscription due to claims of breach by another photography vendor that the Group is under contract with. Popcam does not encourage or support a Group's breach of their existing contracts, and Groups should reasonably attempt to fulfill obligations under any existing contracts.
If Popcam agrees to indemnify Groups buying an active Subscription for claims of a breach with another photography vendor’s contract, the Group is required to notify Popcam in writing within 3 days of receiving any notice of a breach claim and before any response is sent. Popcam has the right, but not the obligation, to work with your Group and approve any responses to notice of breach and will work to resolve the conflict in a mutually agreeable fashion and with a minimum of expense. Popcam can pay for and designate legal counsel for Group to engage with and such fees will be counted towards the total indemnification limit available in this clause.
Any discounts or indemnification amounts provided by Popcam to a Group is in consideration of such Group renewing their Credits Package for a subsequent term in which such discount or indemnification is not applied. If Group fails to renew for a subsequent term with a full cost contract (without a discount or indemnification), such discount or indemnification will be forfeited by the Group, and the amount of such forfeited discount or indemnification will become immediately due and payable.
