Terms of Service

By accessing or using Shootbin, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use our services. You must be at least 16 years old to use Shootbin.

Shootbin is a cloud-based photo proofing platform that allows photographers to upload images, create albums, invite clients or reviewers to review photos, collect feedback, and manage the approval workflow. We provide the infrastructure, storage, and tools necessary for you to conduct photo proofing with your clients.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of our services at any time, with or without notice.

To use Shootbin, you must create an account. You agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration
• Maintain and promptly update your account information
• Keep your password secure and confidential
• Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to your account
• Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or are used for prohibited purposes.

Shootbin offers both free and paid subscription plans. By subscribing to a paid plan, you agree to:

• Pay all fees associated with your chosen plan
• Provide valid payment information
• Authorize us to charge your payment method for subscription fees
• Accept that subscription fees are non-refundable except as required by law

Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled before the end of the billing period. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Your access to paid features will continue until the end of your current billing period.

"Your Content" refers to any photos, images, albums, text, feedback, or other materials you upload or submit through Shootbin. You retain all ownership rights to Your Content.

By uploading Your Content to Shootbin, you grant us a limited license to store, process, and display Your Content solely for the purpose of providing our services to you. We do not claim any ownership rights over Your Content.

You represent and warrant that:

• You own or have the necessary rights to Your Content
• Uploading Your Content does not violate any third party's rights
• Your Content complies with applicable laws and regulations
• You have obtained any necessary consent from individuals depicted in your photos

You agree not to use Shootbin to:

• Upload or share any content that is illegal, harmful, threatening, or offensive
• Infringe on any intellectual property rights of third parties
• Upload photos of individuals without their consent
• Distribute malware or other harmful code
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or other users' accounts
• Use automated tools to scrape or extract data from our platform
• Resell or redistribute our services without authorization
• Use our platform for any purpose that violates applicable laws

Within Shootbin, you can archive projects and their associated files to easily reuse them later. For some accounts, this archive is unlimited, giving you the flexibility to work without worrying about fixed storage limits.

We do expect this feature to be used as intended, as part of your workflow as a photographer or agency. The archive is not intended to function as a general-purpose storage or backup service unrelated to active or completed projects within Shootbin.

To maintain the quality and performance of the platform for everyone, we apply a fair use policy. This means that in exceptional cases, we may take action if usage clearly falls outside the normal use of Shootbin.

In such cases, we may:

• reach out to discuss a solution together;
• ask you to clean up certain files or projects;
• or, if necessary, limit the use of archiving.

We will always assess this reasonably and with common sense, taking into account how the archive is used and how it aligns with Shootbin’s intended purpose. In practice, this will only apply to exceptional cases, and most users will never notice any impact.

Shootbin allows you to invite clients, collaborators, and reviewers to view and review your photos. When you share Your Content with others, you are responsible for:

• Ensuring you have the right to share such content
• Managing access permissions appropriately
• Understanding that shared content may be downloaded by recipients
• Clearly communicating any usage restrictions to recipients

We are not responsible for how others use Your Content once it has been shared through our platform.

Shootbin provides a platform for photographers to share photos with clients, collaborators, and reviewers. Any contractual agreements, work orders, or other legal arrangements between the photographer and their clients are governed solely by the terms of those separate agreements.

When a client, collaborator, or approver signs or agrees to a contract provided by the photographer through Shootbin's contract feature or any other means, they are legally bound by the terms of that agreement. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Agreement to confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations
• Acceptance of usage rights and licensing terms
• Compliance with deliverables, timelines, and scope of work
• Agreement to payment terms and conditions
• Acceptance of revision limits and approval workflows

Shootbin is not a party to any such contracts and assumes no liability for the terms, enforceability, or fulfillment of agreements made between photographers and their clients. Users are solely responsible for ensuring their contracts are legally valid and enforceable in their respective jurisdictions.

The Shootbin platform, including its design, features, functionality, and all related software, are owned by Shootbin and protected by intellectual property laws.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of Shootbin without our prior written consent. You may not reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code of our software.

All trademarks, logos, and service marks displayed on Shootbin are the property of their respective owners.

We store Your Content on our servers to provide you with our services. You may delete Your Content at any time through the platform. Upon account deletion, we will initiate the removal process as described in our Privacy Policy.

Inactive Hobby accounts may be removed under the retention process in our Privacy Policy. We send a reminder after approximately 90 days of inactivity and a warning with a specific deletion date after approximately 120 days. If you do not sign in again, the account and its Content may be deleted 14 days after that warning. Signing in cancels the scheduled deletion.

We are not responsible for retaining backup copies of Your Content after deletion. We recommend that you maintain your own backups of important content.
