4. Intellectual Property
Except for the photographs and other content provided by photographers, all of the content on this website (including without limitation the graphics, design, and look and feel) is owned by pic-time and is protected by international copyright, trademark, and/or other intellectual property rights laws. All of the photographs featured on this website were created by photographers who have provided them to pic-time for worldwide sales and distribution. Those photographers retain the copyrights in their photographs, and have merely granted to pic-time a license to post such photographs on the website and provide the corresponding Products and Services offered herein. All of the content on this website other than the content provided by you is referred to herein as the “Content.” You may view the Content for personal, non-commercial purposes only.

You hereby represent and warrant that, with respect to the content that you post on this website, you have all necessary rights to post such content.

5. Reporting Copyright and Other Violations
pic-time does not police the content posted on this website by photographers and other users, and is not responsible for the acts or omissions of those third parties. However, pic-time respects the intellectual property, privacy, and publicity rights of others, and we ask photographers and other users of the Service to do the same. If your photograph appears on this website without your consent and you wish to have it removed, please notify us at info@pic-time.com with your request.
If any of your content is removed as a result of any such notice received by pic-time and you believe that such content does not infringe on a copyright, or that you have proper authorization from the rightful copyright owner, their agent, or pursuant to the law to post and use such content, you may send a counter-notice that contains all of the following information to info@pic-time.com:
i. identification of the content that has been removed or disabled and the location where the content appeared prior to being removed or disabled;
ii. a statement that you believe in good faith that the content was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake;
iii. your contact information including your name, address, phone number, and, if available, an e-mail address;
iv. a statement that you consent to jurisdiction of the federal court in Los Angeles, California;
v. a statement that you will accept service of process from the person that provided notification of the alleged infringement; and
vi. your physical or electronic signature.
If a counter-notice is received by our Copyright Agent, Pic-time may send a copy of the counter-notice to the initial complaining party and may inform that person that Pic-time may restore the removed or disabled content in ten (10) business days. The removed content may be restored within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at Pic-time’s sole discretion, unless the initial complaining party files an action seeking a court order against the party that posted the content at issue.

6. Product Purchases
You can purchase copies of the photographs featured on this website in the form of photographic prints or in the form of other photographic products that are offered by pic-time. Such prints and other photographic products are collectively referred to herein as “Products.” You acknowledge that all Products are custom made to your order and have no market beyond your purchase thereof. As such all Products are non-returnable and payment for all Products is required to be made in full in advance. The shipping terms for all Products purchased by you are FCA, pic-time’s shipping point, and pic-time may, at its option, select the common carrier for delivery of the Products (with the understanding that any carrier selected or used by pic-time is not the agent of pic-time). Risk of loss and/or damage, and title, for all such Products will pass from pic-time to you upon the carrier’s receipt of the Products. Although pic-time strives to fulfill all Product orders in a timely fashion, all Product delivery dates are approximate and not guaranteed, and Pic-time will have no liability for any late delivery. Due to the complex nature of this service pic-time reserves the right to make partial shipments of Products or to cancel to order completely, in such
cases the product that are not delivered will be refunded back to the PayPal account.
