Terms of service
Plain-language terms for the PhotoPool early access. This draft has not yet been reviewed by counsel and will be finalized before general availability.
1. What PhotoPool is
PhotoPool lets an event host create a shared photo pool that guests join by QR code to view and contribute photos. Hosts create an account; guests participate without one.
2. Early access
PhotoPool is in early access: card payments are not yet live, features may change, and the service is provided as-is, without warranties, while we harden it. Don't make PhotoPool the only place a photo exists — export your album.
3. Your content
- Photos belong to the people who took them. By posting to a pool you give the pool's host and its guests the ability to view them, and the host the ability to export them.
- We don't sell your photos or use them for advertising.
- Photos are deleted automatically when an event's retention period ends.
4. Acceptable use
- No unlawful content, no content you don't have the right to share, and nothing sexually explicit — pools are shared spaces with mixed company.
- Uploads are screened automatically, hosts can remove photos and ban devices, and guests can report content. We may remove content or end events that break these rules.
5. Hosts
Hosts are responsible for their event: choosing who to invite, moderating what gets posted, and complying with any rules that apply to their venue or jurisdiction (including obtaining any consent needed to photograph guests).
6. Changes and contact
We'll update these terms as PhotoPool matures; material changes will be posted here. Questions: [email protected].
