D-Pop! Labs, Inc., also doing business as www.snapitto.me (we, "Snapittome"or the "Company"), operates an Internet-based marketplace (collectively, the "Service") that connects people seeking photographs with photographers selling photographs. By accessing the Company’s website (the "Site"), using the Service, and/or registering with us, you agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement ("Agreement") and you consent to our Privacy Policy.
- Modifications to This Agreement. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify or otherwise alter these terms and conditions at any time. Such modifications shall become effective immediately upon the posting thereof. You must review this agreement on a regular basis to keep yourself apprised of any changes. We may amend these Terms of Use at any time by posting the amended terms on the Site.
- Creation of Contests and Submission of Photographs. Snapittome provides an online venue where photographs can be bought and sold. Individuals seeking photographs ("Buyers") can create "contests"in order to solicit photo submissions. Photographers seeking to sell their photographs ("Sellers") can then submit their photographs in response to the contests. Buyers then have the option of picking the photograph they want to purchase from among the submissions.
- Buyers. When you create a contest, you will be able to review the fees that we will charge for hosting the contest before submitting your contest. When creating the contest, you will have the option of purchasing (1) full rights in the photograph, granting you exclusive rights to sell, reproduce, prepare derivative works, distribute, and publicly display the photograph; (2) shared rights, granting you a non-exclusive license to reproduce, prepare derivative works, distribute, and publicly display the photograph, but no right to resell the original photograph; and (3) limited shared rights, the terms of which can be specified by you. You are under no obligation to select a winning photograph unless the contest is a "guaranteed contest,"in which case you must select a winning photograph if there are at least 30 submissions. Upon selection of a winning photograph, you agree to pay for the winning photograph with three (3) days according to the terms specified by you in the contest.
- Sellers. As a general rule, you cannot retract or cancel a submission. When you place a submission, you agree to deliver the photograph according to the terms specified in the contest if your photograph is selected as the winning photograph. Changing your mind is not a valid reason for retracting a submission.
- Taxes. By participating in the contests, Buyers and Sellers acknowledge and agree that they will be contracting directly with each other to buy or sell photographs. Snapittome will not be responsible for the reporting or payment of any taxes that may be due, or satisfying any other legal obligation with regard to the contests. For example, Buyers will be solely responsible for filing any 1099 tax forms where applicable.
