2.2. Access and Account Setup. Initial registration will be performed manually by a designated PhotoShelter Client Services representative. As part of the implementation process, Client will identify an administrative user name and password that will be used to set up Client’s account for the Services, and Client will need to register one or more individuals as an Account Administrator.

PhotoShelter reserves planned outages of the Services, especially those requiring downtime, for purposes such as large scale system upgrades and maintenance. PhotoShelter will notify Client as soon as reasonably practicable of any unplanned outages, and with a minimum of 72 hours before planned outages.

2.4. Site Service and Technical Support. Where needed, PhotoShelter will provide routine phone support to Account Administrators and Editors, but not to Registered Users, in respect of use of the Services during PhotoShelter’s business hours of Monday through Friday 9:00AM ET to 6:00PM ET, excluding public holidays in the United States.

2.6. Modifications. PhotoShelter reserves the right to modify or discontinue any Services (in whole or in part) at any time, provided that PhotoShelter will use commercially reasonable efforts to give thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Client (via email or through the Service) of material changes to the core Services, and further provided that in the event such modification or discontinuance materially reduces the functionality of the Services used by Client in accordance with this Agreement, Client may terminate this Agreement upon at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to PhotoShelter.

2.7. Backups. Although PhotoShelter uses industry standard methods to store and preserve Posted Content, including performing backups of data in near real-time and by providing geographic server redundancy in multiple locations, including without limitation Client Posted Content, it is always a best practice to backup all important data. Therefore, PhotoShelter strongly encourages Client to perform regular backups of Client’s Posted Content, and Client acknowledges and agrees that PhotoShelter is not responsible or liable in any way for the failure to store, preserve or access Posted Content or other materials that Client transmits, stores, archives or otherwise makes available on or through the Services.

2.8. Content Removal. PhotoShelter has no obligation to screen or monitor any images, information or data for any purpose, including without limitation any Posted Content or any other content provided by users or third parties. However, if PhotoShelter becomes aware of or has reason to believe that Client or any of Client’s Posted Content is violating the terms and conditions contained herein or elsewhere on the Services, PhotoShelter, in its sole discretion, may remove and/or delete the applicable Posted Content, suspend and/or terminate Client’s and/or Client’s Registered Users’ access to the Services, and/or pursue any other remedy or relief available to PhotoShelter under equity or law.

2.9. Copyright. PhotoShelter handles copyright infringement claims in accordance with its Copyright Policy available at http://www.photoshelter.com/support/copyright.

2.10. International Access. Some jurisdictions may prohibit or restrict the download, storage, display or viewing of certain images or content or may otherwise limit use of or access to the internet and web-based services, and in such cases, PhotoShelter cannot guarantee that these jurisdictions will permit the use of or access to the Site, Services or any content thereon. Client and all Registered Users are responsible for compliance with the laws of the applicable jurisdiction in which such Client or Registered Users access the Site or Services. To the extent the Site, Services and content can be legally accessed, PhotoShelter uses a global Content Delivery Network (CDN) to ensure they can be accessed and viewed anywhere around the world in accordance with local expectations for internet speed. Furthermore, the Site and the Services are hosted on computer servers in the United States, and therefore, Client’s information may be processed and stored in the United States. Client’s use of the Sites or the Services or Client’s submission of any information, including without limitation any personally identifiable information, to PhotoShelter will constitute Client’s consent to the transfer of Client’s information to PhotoShelter’s servers and the use and disclosure of such information in compliance with United States laws, rules and regulations.

3. LICENSEES AND USER OBLIGATIONS.

3.1. License to Posted Content. Client owns, and as between Client and PhotoShelter, will continue to own, all Posted Content. Client hereby grants and agrees to grant PhotoShelter a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid up, sublicensable, worldwide right and license to use, reproduce, modify, display, perform, distribute, and create derivative works of the Posted Content solely in connection with PhotoShelter’s operation of the Services and according to the Client’s specified visibility and access permission controls, as indicated using the features and functionality made available on the Services. This license allows PhotoShelter to take actions such as creating thumbnails and other various sizes of the images that Client posts and lists on the Site or through the Services, presenting images in search results on the Services, allowing Registered Users to browse image collections, or modifying Posted Content so that PhotoShelter’s system can fulfill image download requests in multiple desired sizes to Client’s approved Registered Users. PhotoShelter claims no right to use Posted Content in any manner that goes beyond providing the Services, and PhotoShelter claims no commercial rights to Posted Content.

3.2. Registered Users. Client will use the Services to distribute Posted Content to only parties which Client approves (“Registered Users”). Client can choose to grant Registered Users access to Posted Content by: (1) providing each Registered User with a username and password to access the Posted Content; (2) password-protecting Client’s gallery on the Services that contains the Posted Content and sharing the password with Registered Users to whom Client wishes to grant access or (3) designating the Posted Content as publicly viewable or downloadable by anyone, using the applicable feature on the Services (in both cases any end user who downloads or accesses such Posted Content shall constitute a Registered User). Only Client-appointed Account Administrators and Editors may set up new Registered Users via the Services for access to Client Posted Content. Client will check and update the Registered User access permissions regularly to ensure such permissions remain accurate and complete. PhotoShelter shall have no responsibility or liability for (a) Client’s failure to maintain or update Registered User authorization or (b) any unauthorized use, sharing, or disclosure of any passwords provided to Registered Users.

4. Provisions for Selling Content via the PhotoShelter Multi-User Account

4.1. Selling Content. Client may elect to offer a portion or all of its Posted Content for licensing or sale as prints and products (Client’s “Offered Content”). In order to post Offered Content, Client will need to obtain a merchant account from one of the billing services supported by the Services (each a “Billing Service”), such as PayPal, Stripe, TouchNet or Authorize.net. Please note that the Billing Services supported by the Services may be changed from time to time at the sole discretion of PhotoShelter, provided that PhotoShelter will notify Client if PhotoShelter stops supporting the Billing Service currently in use by Client in connection with the Services. With respect to each image contained in Client’ Offered Content, Client will need to select from a list provided by the Services (a) the category of rights being offered for sale, and (b) the price for each such category of rights.

4.2. Fees. In the event this sales capability is activated, Client agrees to pay PhotoShelter a fee of 8% of all completed purchasing transactions that are initiated through the Services (“Transaction Fee”), which is applied to Client’s monthly invoice. In the event that Client chooses to use one of PhotoShelter’s third party fulfillment partners, Client will also be charged for the wholesale cost of printing and shipping, according to the fee schedule available inside the Client account for the chosen third party fulfillment partner. PhotoShelter reserves the right to change the Transaction Fee at any time, upon prior notice to Client. Wholesale costs for printing and shipping may vary over time, and PhotoShelter will provide the Client with at least 30 days notice when third party prices change.

5. PROVISIONS FOR OPTIONAL AI AUTO-TAGGING VIA THE PHOTOSHELTER BRANDS ACCOUNT.

5.1 Optional Add-On Feature. Upon Client’s request and as agreed upon by the parties in an Order Form, PhotoShelter shall utilize Third Party Services, or other software, tools and technologies, including automated processing tools and image-recognition technologies, designed to apply to the Posted Content labels, tags, keywords, or other marks identifying a particular individual, group, location, event, date, time period, subject matter, topic, theme, or other feature or content (the “Auto-Tagging Services”).

5.2 Fees. The Auto-Tagging Services can be activated on request through PhotoShelter Customer Success representatives and entering into an Order Form for the Auto-Tagging Services. In the event the Auto-Tagging Services are activated, Client agrees to pay PhotoShelter an additional fee for the Auto-Tagging Services in the amount specified in the applicable Order Form, which shall be applied to Client’s monthly or annual invoice, as applicable. PhotoShelter reserves the right to change the fees for Auto-Tagging Services at any time, upon prior notice to Client. If PhotoShelter does not receive a request from Client to deactivate the Auto-Tagging Services within 30 days of such notice, Client shall be deemed to have accepted such changed fees. Where applicable, a one-time professional service setup fee for the Auto-Tagging Services may be owed by Client in the amount and at the time specified in the applicable Order Form. Setup fees and annual fees for Auto-Tagging Services are non-refundable.

5.3 Client Representations and Warranties for Auto-Tagging Services. Client represents and warrants that Client shall use the Auto-Tagging Services solely for lawful purposes and in strict compliance with all applicable state, federal or foreign law(s), rule(s) and regulation(s), including without limitation those related to making decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling.

5.4 Client acknowledges and agrees that:

• PhotoShelter may utilize Third Party Service Providers to perform the Auto-Tagging Services.
• The labels, tags, keywords, or other marks identifying a particular individual, group, location, event, date, subject, topic, theme, or other feature or content (the “Auto-Tags”) will not be merged to industry standard IPTC fields and, as such, will only be accessible for Posted Content available and accessed on or through the Services, unless otherwise requested by Client and agreed to by PhotoShelter prior to removal of such Posted Content by Client from the Services.
• PhotoShelter or the applicable Third Party Service Provider may utilize Posted Content that is subject to the Auto-Tagging Service to create Derived Data. “Derived Data” means data elements derived from Posted Content via mathematical, logical or other types of transformations. Derived Data will be fully anonymized and aggregated, such that it is not possible to identify Client, or the subject(s) of any of the Posted Content. Derived Data will be the property of PhotoShelter or its applicable Third Party Service Provider. PhotoShelter or its Third Party Service Provider may use Derived Data for product improvement, algorithm training and other internal purposes.
• The Auto-Tagging Services are provided “AS IS” and Client’s use is at its own risk. PhotoShelter does not and cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any Auto-Tags made available by or to Client in connection with the Auto-Tagging Services.
• PhotoShelter may discontinue the Auto-Tagging Services at any time in PhotoShelter’s sole discretion.
