Terms of Service

These terms govern your access to and use of the Pictsy Books website. By using this website, you agree to these terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

You are responsible for ensuring that anyone who accesses the website through your internet connection is aware of and follows these terms.

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the website and its text, artwork, illustrations, photographs, graphics, branding, design, and other content are owned by or licensed to Pictsy, Inc. and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may view and use the website for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, publish, sell, license, frame, scrape, or commercially exploit website content without prior written permission from Pictsy or the relevant rights holder.

Website information and availability

Website content is provided for general information only and should not be treated as professional advice. We make reasonable efforts to keep information accurate, but do not guarantee that all content is complete, current, or free from errors or omissions.

We may update, suspend, withdraw, or change any part of the website without notice. We do not guarantee that the website or any content will always be available, uninterrupted, or compatible with every device or browser.

Book purchases and third-party services

Product links may direct you to Amazon or another third-party retailer. Purchases made through a third-party website are transactions between you and that retailer and are governed by its prices, availability, delivery, returns, terms, and privacy practices. Pictsy is not responsible for operating those third-party services.

Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience and information only. A link does not imply that Pictsy endorses or controls the linked website, its content, or its services.

Editorial enquiries and submitted materials

You retain ownership of original material you send to us. You confirm that you have the right to share it and that doing so does not infringe another person's rights or violate any law.

You give Pictsy permission to review and use submitted material only as reasonably necessary to respond to your enquiry, assess a proposed project, or provide services you request. An enquiry does not create an editorial engagement or other professional relationship. Any paid project begins only after its scope, price, timing, and applicable terms are confirmed in writing.

Linking to this website

You may link to this website in a fair and lawful way that does not damage our reputation or falsely suggest an association, approval, or endorsement. You may not frame this website within another website or link from a website you do not control. We may withdraw linking permission where reasonably necessary.

Acceptable use and security

You must not misuse the website or attempt to interfere with its operation. This includes introducing malicious code, attempting unauthorised access, probing security, bypassing access controls, overloading the service, or using automated systems in a way that disrupts the website or other users.

We do not guarantee that the website will be free from bugs, viruses, or other harmful material. You are responsible for configuring and protecting your own devices, software, and data. We may restrict or end access where these terms are violated and may report suspected unlawful activity to the appropriate authorities.

Limitation of liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Pictsy is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or business losses arising from use of, inability to use, or reliance on this website or linked third-party services.

The website and its content are provided on an "as available" basis without warranties not expressly stated in these terms. Your statutory or mandatory consumer rights are not affected.

Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms by updating this page. Changes take effect when posted. Your continued use of the website after a change means that you accept the revised terms.
