Privacy Policy

Thank you for choosing Picwerk as your platform for connecting with Clients and Creatives. By using our services, you agree to the following terms and conditions:

1. Overview

Picwerk is a platform that connects Clients with Creatives for the purpose of creating photography. Clients may post jobs for Creatives to bid on, and the parties may then enter into a contract for the Creative to capture the requested photography.

2. User Accounts

In order to use our platform, you must create a user account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to provide accurate and complete information when creating your account and to keep your account information up-to-date.

3. Job Postings and Bidding

Clients may post jobs on our platform, and Creatives may bid on those jobs. By bidding on a job, you agree to accept the terms and conditions of the posted job and to enter into a contract with the Client if your bid is accepted. You understand that you may not be selected for every job that you bid on.

4. Contracts and Payments

Once a Creative has been selected for a job, the parties will enter into a contract for the Creative to capture the requested photography. The terms and conditions of the contract will be set forth in writing on our platform. Payment for the job will be made through our platform, and we will take a commission for our services.

5. Code of Conduct

We expect all of our users to behave professionally and ethically at all times. You agree to treat other users with respect and to refrain from engaging in any behavior that is illegal, fraudulent, or otherwise harmful to others.

6. Dispute Resolution

In the event of a dispute between a Client and a Creative, we will work with the parties to try to resolve the dispute. If the dispute cannot be resolved, either party may seek legal recourse as permitted by law.

7. Termination

We reserve the right to terminate the account of any user who violates these terms and conditions or engages in any behavior that is harmful to our platform or our users.

8. Changes to Terms and Conditions

We may update these terms and conditions from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes to these terms and conditions, and your continued use of our platform following such notification will constitute your acceptance of the revised terms and conditions.

9. Prohibited Content

We strictly prohibit the capture or request of any type of illegal or inappropriate content on our platform. This includes, but is not limited to, content that is pornographic, violent, discriminatory, or defamatory. You agree not to capture or request any content that violates applicable laws or regulations or that could be harmful to our platform or our users.

We reserve the right to remove any content that we deem to be in violation of this section or to terminate the account of any user who engages in such behavior. We take these matters seriously and will cooperate with law enforcement authorities as necessary to ensure the safety and integrity of our platform and our users.

10. Watermarking and Copyright

All images captured by the Creative and posted on our platform will be watermarked until the Client pays the agreed-upon rate for the photography. The watermark will protect the Creative's copyright and ownership of the images until payment is received. The Client agrees not to use or reproduce any watermarked images without the Creative's permission.

If the Client attempts to download or use any watermarked images without paying the agreed-upon rate, they will be in breach of contract and subject to legal action. The Creative retains all rights to their images until payment is received, and may pursue legal action against the Client for any unauthorized use or reproduction.

11. Licensing Agreement

Once the Client has paid the agreed-upon rate for the photography, they are purchasing an irrevocable license to use the images in perpetuity. This license grants the Client the right to use, reproduce, and distribute the images for their intended purpose, as agreed upon in the contract between the Client and the Creative.

The Creative retains ownership of the images and may continue to use them for their own portfolio and promotional purposes, but the Client is granted the exclusive right to use the images for their intended purpose.

By using our platform, you agree to abide by these terms and conditions. If you have any questions or concerns about these terms and conditions, please contact us at info@picwerk.com
