    SmugMug terms of use

    Welcome to SmugMug! We love photography and for the most part this site is all about photos and camaraderie. For the protection of our partners, suppliers, you and us, however, the Terms of Use of SmugMug.com are very important.

    SmugMug, inc., the owner and operator of SmugMug.com, and its affiliates and suppliers (collectively "SmugMug") provide their media hosting and related services (the "Services") to you subject to the following conditions. If you visit or purchase at SmugMug.com, you accept these terms and conditions.

    SUBSCRIPTIONS

    SmugMug provides its media hosting services on an annual subscription basis. By subscribing to SmugMug, you agree to pay all charges to your account in accordance with the selected level of service, and the billing terms in effect when payment is due. From time to time, SmugMug may make introductory offers to allow you to try the hosting service without charge for a period of time. If you subscribe pursuant to such an offer, you agree to be automatically charged for your subscription at your level of service once your trial period expires, unless you terminate your account prior to 11:59 p.m. PST on the last day of your trial period. Your annual subscription period will begin once your introductory trial period ends.

    SmugMug reserves the right to modify or add additional fees and billing terms, upon prior notice to the member on our website. Information about SmugMug's current subscription services and fees is available at www.SmugMug.com/price. SmugMug may change the Services it offers at any time.

    Unless you terminate your account prior to the end of each annual period, your subscription will renew automatically, and the credit card designated on your account will be billed the applicable subscription fee for an additional one year term. Subscribers must keep their registered email addresses and other account information current, as SmugMug may send important notices, such as reminders about the end of the annual period, to that email account. If you decide to upgrade to a higher level of service, the credit card designated on your account will be billed for the difference in price, prorated for the remainder of your term.

    In connection with recurring billing for renewals or billing for upgrades, we may receive updated information about your account from the financial institution issuing your credit card. If we are unable to process your credit card payment, your account will be terminated at the end of its current term.

    TERMINATION

    Upon your termination of your account, you will not recieve a refund for any subscription fees previously charged to, or still remaining, on your account. In the event we have to collect unpaid amounts owed to SmugMug on your account, you will be liable for all attorneys' and collection agency fees.

    NUDITY

    SmugMug must remain a safe site for families with children, so we prohibit the uploading and display of photographs or other Media portraying explicit nudity that would be unacceptable in a public museum where minors visit, for example.

Judgement of suitable Media is the sole discretion of SmugMug, and SmugMug reserves the right to delete any photographs or other Media it deems to violate this policy and/or to cancel the account of any subscriber who posts photos or other Media violating this policy.
