Uploader Terms

File Uploader - Terms of Use

By uploading your file (“File”), you warrant and represent that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to your File, including all the rights necessary for you to provide, post, upload, input or submit the File, and to transfer all such rights to Laser Everything LLC. In addition to the warranty and representation set forth above, by uploading and posting a File that contains images, photographs, pictures or that are otherwise graphical in whole or in part (“Images”), you warrant and represent that (a) you are the copyright owner of such Images, or that the copyright owner of such Images has granted you permission to use such Images or any content and/or images contained in such Images consistent with the manner and purpose of your use, and (b) that each person depicted in such Images, if any, has provided consent to the use of the Images, including, by way of example, the distribution, public display and reproduction of such Images. By posting Files, you are granting to all persons who have access to the Files, without compensation, permission to use your Files in connection with the use, including a non-exclusive, world-wide, royalty-free license to: copy, distribute, transmit, publicly display, reproduce, edit, translate and reformat your Files without having your name attached to such Files.

Before you upload a File, make sure that the image falls in one of the four categories:

• Own work: You own all rights to the file, usually meaning that you created it entirely yourself.
• Licensed: You can prove that the copyright holder has released the image under an acceptable license. Note that images that are licensed for use only on certain “channels”, or only for non-commercial or educational use, or under a license that doesn’t allow for the creation of modified/derived works, are unsuitable. When in doubt, do not upload copyrighted images.
• Public domain: You can prove that the image is in the public domain, i.e. free of all copyrights.
• Fair use: You believe that the image meets the special conditions for non-free content, which exceptionally allow the use of unlicensed material, and you can provide an explicit non-free use rationale explaining why and how you intend to use it.

Licensing —You’ve obtained the right (paid or free) to exploit the file in all media throughout the universe for a specified amount of time; in the case of a pre-existing free license, if the place where you found the image does not declare a pre-existing free license, yet allows use of its content under terms commonly instituted by them, it must explicitly declare that commercial use and modification is permitted. If it does not so declare, you must assume that you may not use the image unless you obtain verification or permission from the copyright holder.

Public domain —Public domain images are not copyrighted, and copyright law does not restrict their use in any way.Images may be placed into the public domain by their creators, or they may be public domain because they are ineligible for copyright or because their copyright expired. In the U.S., copyright has expired on any work published anywhere before January 1, 1923. Although U.S. copyrights have also expired for many works published since then, the rules for determining expiration are complex. Free files should not be watermarked, distorted, have any credits or titles in the files itself or anything else that would hamper their free use, unless, of course, the image is intended to demonstrate watermarking, distortion, titles, etc. and is used in the related article.

Please only submit a file if you understand and agree to the above Terms and Conditions. If you believe your work has been posted to this website without permission, please email “legal@lasereverything.net” with “TAKEDOWN REQUEST” in the subject line. Users who violate the Terms and Conditions of this agreement will be barred from submitting further Files.
