Terms & Conditions

Picture Mosaics offers an online photo mosaic and video mosaic creation tool through their website (http://www.picturemosaics.com), free to use with the creation of an account. A valid email address is required to create an account. Picture Mosaics reserves the right to delete or remove any accounts or projects at their sole discretion. Reasons for removal or deletion can include, but are not limited to, inactivity and unlawful or abusive content. Picture Mosaics does not offer a long-term photo hosting service and shall not be held liable for photos or projects removed from our database at any time.

Users are given the option to make their mosaics public, semi-public, or private. Public mosaics may be accessed, viewed, shared, printed, downloaded, or purchased by anyone. Semi-public mosaics may be accessed, viewed, and shared by anyone, but only the original user may purchase or download the mosaic. Private mosaics may be accessed, viewed, printed, downloaded or purchased by the user only.

Users are prohibited from uploading any images of which they do not own the rights or images depicting any unlawful activity. Picture Mosaics shall not be made liable for any damage to user resulting from nonobservance of this agreement. The user is solely responsible for obtaining the permission to use or rights of the photos they upload.

Users are given the option to delete their accounts. When a user chooses this option, their account will be marked for deletion and immediately removed from the Picture Mosaics website. The account will be permanently deleted from the server by Picture Mosaics within a reasonable timeframe.

Users are also given the option to delete their individual projects. When a user chooses this option, the project will be marked for deletion and immediately removed from the Picture Mosaics website. The project will be permanently deleted from the server by Picture Mosaics within a reasonable timeframe.

As part of the Online Mosaic Tool, users are given the option to purchase full resolution digital files (JPG, PNG, TIF) as well as video mosaic files in SD (720x404), HD (1920x1080), and 4K (3840x2160) with licensing options for each. Each license and its permissions are described below:

• Personal: For private use only. (e.g., birthdays, reunions, weddings, personal prints, personal websites) Not for corporate, commercial, promotional, resale, or redistribution purposes. Content cannot be made available for download or purchase by third parties.
• Standard: For corporate and professional purposes. (e.g., conferences, corporate events, presentations, internal publications) Not for advertising, resale, or redistribution. Content cannot be made available for download or purchase by third parties.
• Unlimited: Exclusive and perpetual rights. No restrictions; can be used in any media for an unlimited number of projects. (promotions, advertising, commercial websites, books, magazines, publications) Resale and redistribution is permitted.

For purposes of this agreement, "use" means to copy, reproduce, modify, edit, synchronize, perform, display, broadcast, publish, or otherwise make use of.

As part of the Online Mosaic Tool, users are given the option to embed the zoomable mosaic personal websites at no cost. To embed your mosaic at no cost and be compliant with these terms, the mosaic must maintain all logos and links that exist in the lower right hand corner. If these elements are altered, hidden, or removed, the mosaic and your account are in violation of these terms. If the zoomable mosaic is to be placed on a commercial or corporate website, a $3000 USD fee per year is required as long as the mosaic is embedded. If you are a reseller, the $3000 fee is also applicable. If features (submission flow, search, etc.) are purchased for your project and total $3000 or more, this $3000 fee is waived. If the mosaic is not publicly available (i.e. is behind a user login screen, intranet, etc.), a White Label License must be purchased. When embedded, the total number of simultaneous users accessing the mosaic cannot exceed 1500 otherwise the mosaic may become inaccessible, or slow to load for users, during the time period that there are more than 1500 simultaneous users. If support for more than 1500 simultaneous users is needed, please contact us to discuss migrating your mosaic to a higher-end server environment.

Embedded mosaics created through the Online Mosaic Tool will have their Collaboration and Interactive Dashboard deactivated after their submission period has ended. The end of the submission period is determined by a number of factors, including but not limited to, the lack of submission activity over a period of time. The mosaic will still be interactive and have all of the features purchased, but repurposing or recycling the project for a new source image or new activation will require a $1200 fee. Please contact Picture Mosaics if you wish to unlock your project.

Through the Online Mosaic Tool, embedded mosaics can be white labeled through the purchase of a White Label License or an Integrator License. Licensing can be for a 3 month, 6 month, 1 year term, and can be extended as necessary. Please contact us here to obtain pricing.

Picture Mosaics has direct integrations with many event platforms, as such, in order to use an embeddable mosaic with or in conjunction with an event platform (examples: Hopin, Swapcard, Hublio), Picture Mosaics is required to work directly with the platform vendor to allow for appropriate, secure integration and optimal usage. Examples of event platforms are Hopin, Swapcard, Hublio. Please contact Picture Mosaics to arrange an integration meeting to inquire about integration or to verify if the Picture Mosaics' platform is already integrated. If an embeddable mosaic is integrated within an event platform without Picture Mosaics integration, it is a violation of usage and your account can be suspended.

Users and administrators implementing and deploying Embedded Zoomable Mosaics must abide by the tools and features available through the Online Mosaic Tool. Attempting to bypass, spoof referrer, improperly embed, inject data without use of the API, or other malicious actions will not be tolerated and will result in disabling the project and account. The system will automatically flag these violations and inform Picture Mosaics of each occurrence. Picture Mosaics, at its discretion, will review each violation and determine the course of action for the project and account in violation, which can include, and it is not limited to, the disabling and removal of the project and account
