Snapfish Terms and Conditions

Welcome to Snapfish! Snapfish provides members a fun, safe and easy way to print, store and share your photographs. However, before you enter the Snapfish site (the "Site") or use any of the Snapfish services, it is important that you carefully review the Terms and Conditions set out below (the "Terms"). In addition, specific pages on the Site may set out additional terms and conditions, all of which are incorporated by reference into the Terms. Terms may be changed or updated at any time, but you can always find the most recent version here. In the case of inconsistencies between these Terms and information included in off-line materials, (e.g., promotional materials and mailers), these Terms will always control. We suggest that you periodically check this page to make sure you are up to date.

By entering and using the Site, you indicate that you accept the Terms and that you agree to be bound by and subject to them. Acceptance of the Terms creates a binding legal agreement between you and Snapfish that you will use the Service only in a manner that is consistent with the Terms. If you have questions about the Terms, please contact us at service@snapfish.co.uk. Your use of the Site and its services (together, the "Service") is entirely conditioned on and subject to your compliance with the Terms. If you do not agree with the Terms, do not proceed to access the Site or use the Service.

I.  Terms of Membership Snapfish membership (referred to as "Membership") is available to you if you are at least 13 years of age and you submit certain requested information to Snapfish, including (but not limited to) your name and correct email address. In addition, by becoming a Member, you agree to provide Snapfish with true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself, when such information is required by Snapfish in order to provide you with the service.

Snapfish Services are for personal use only.

Before you can use the Service for developing and digitization of photographs, we will ask you to provide a valid credit card number (including expiration date and billing address). This will allow us to efficiently facilitate the Postage and Packing charges associated with sending you your photographs.

II.  Digital Image Storage Snapfish offers free, unlimited storage of your online photos that you upload to your account. As of April 18, 2005, there is no limit to the number of digital photos you can upload.

III.  Member Conduct We are committed to ensuring that our Service remains a fun and safe place to print, store and share photographs and other content. Members are encouraged to use the Service to post creative material, photographs, digital images, links, and comments (the "Content"). To this end, we require that every user of the Service, whether or not such user is a Member, agrees not to use this Service to upload, store, share or otherwise obtain Prohibited Content. Generally, Prohibited Content includes (without limitation) any of the following types of Content:

a.  Content we believe is abusive, deceptive, pornographic, obscene, defamatory, slanderous, offensive, or otherwise inappropriate.
b.  Copyrighted material that is used without the express permission of the owner.
c.  Content that violates or encroaches on the rights of others.
d.  Content or other material that contains viruses, worms, corrupt files, Trojan horses and other forms of corruptive code or any other content, which may compromise the Snapfish Service.
e.  Content that advocates illegal activity.
f.  Content that harms minors in any way.
g.  Any links to the above.

Snapfish has the sole discretion to determine whether Content is Prohibited Content, and any Content submitted to the Service may be subject to examination from time to time. You acknowledge that although Snapfish does not and will not examine and review all Content submitted or transmitted to the Service, Snapfish has the absolute right (but not the obligation) to delete, move, and edit materials for any reason, at any time, without notice.

Notwithstanding the above, when you access the Site and/or use the Service, you acknowledge and agree that all Content (whether private or public) that is posted and stored on the Site is the sole responsibility of the person who submitted it for posting and/or storage. In other words, you are responsible for any Content that you submit. Moreover, you understand that by viewing the Site, you may be exposed to Content that you consider to be offensive and you take sole responsibility for such exposure. Finally, you acknowledge that Snapfish in no way guarantees the accuracy, quality or appropriateness of Content available on the Site. In no event shall Hewlett-Packard UK, Ltd. ("Snapfish") (including its officers, directors, employees, affiliates and agents) be liable for claims of any nature, whether direct or indirect, arising from or related to any Content made available on or through the Service, including (without limitation) errors or omissions in such Content, and loss or damages incurred as a result of use of such Content.

As part of the Service, Snapfish may offer Members the right to establish group rooms, shared rooms, or other similar capabilities on the Site (collectively “Group Rooms“), at Snapfish's option and subject to Snapfish's conditions. If a Group Room involves a Member-specific URL, such as xxx.snapfish.co.uk, Snapfish may revoke the right to use that URL for any reason deemed appropriate by Snapfish in its sole discretion; Snapfish will provide at least thirty days notice prior to any such revocation. Snapfish owns and retains all right, title, and interest in the use of “snapfish“ or other Snapfish property in association with Group Rooms.

IV.  No Resale of Service You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any part of the Service, use of the service, or access to the Service for any commercial purposes.

V.  Third Party Software As a convenience to our Members, we may make third-party software available through the Service. To use the third-party software, you must agree to the terms and conditions imposed by the third party provider and the agreement to use such software will be solely between you and the third party provider.

Snapfish makes no representations or warranties concerning the performance, effectiveness or any other aspect of any third-party software downloaded through the Service.
