2. What Selekt is

Selekt is a web application for photographers and videographers (the "User") to upload galleries, share them with clients and collect structured feedback — ratings, labels, comments and final selections. The User's clients access shared galleries via a link without registration ("Guests").

3. Account

1. Using the Service requires an account (e-mail + password, or Google sign-in).
2. The User is responsible for keeping credentials secure and for all activity under their account.
3. The Service is intended for persons aged 16 or older.

4. Plans and payments

1. The Service is available as Free (with limits shown in the app and on the pricing page) and Pro (paid subscription: €12/month or €120/year).
2. Payments are processed by Paddle. Our payments partner is Paddle.com Market Ltd (United Kingdom), acting as the merchant of record — the contractual seller. By purchasing Pro you enter into a purchase agreement with Paddle; Paddle's buyer terms at paddle.com/legal also apply. Paddle handles receipts, VAT and refunds.
3. Prices shown at checkout are final (Paddle adds applicable VAT based on the buyer's country where relevant).
4. Subscriptions renew automatically. You can cancel anytime in the app (Settings → Plan & Billing), effective at the end of the paid period.
5. Price changes are announced at least 30 days in advance and never affect an already-paid period.
6. Refunds are governed by the Refund Policy, including a 30-day money-back guarantee.

5. User Content and licence

1. Photos, videos and other content uploaded to the Service ("Content") remain the property of the User or the respective rights holders. Uploading transfers no copyright to the Operator.
2. The User grants the Operator a non-exclusive licence to the Content solely to the extent needed to operate the Service (storage, thumbnail generation, display to the User and their Guests, backups).
3. The User warrants they are entitled to upload the Content — in particular that they hold the necessary rights and, where people are depicted, an appropriate legal basis for their use (consent, client agreement, etc.). The User is responsible for the Content and for sharing it with Guests.
4. The Operator makes Content accessible only to the User and to persons the User shares a gallery link with.

6. Personal data in galleries (data processing terms)

1. Where the User uploads personal data of third parties (typically client photographs and Guest names), the User is the controller under the GDPR and the Operator the processor. This article constitutes a data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR.
2. The Operator processes such data solely to operate the Service and per the User's instructions given through use of the Service's features.
3. The Operator maintains the security measures described in the Privacy Policy, preserves confidentiality, and engages only the sub-processors listed there; intended changes are announced and the User may object.
4. Upon deletion of Content or account termination, data is erased within the periods stated in the Privacy Policy (backups at the latest 14 days after the last backup containing the data).
5. The Operator provides reasonable assistance with the User's controller obligations (security, incident notification, data-subject rights).

7. Acceptable use

1. The Service must not be used to distribute unlawful content, content infringing third-party rights (in particular copyright), or to circumvent technical limits of the Service (including Free plan limits).
2. It is further prohibited to upload to or make available through the Service: (a) any content depicting child sexual abuse or sexualizing minors in any way — such content will be removed immediately and reported to the competent authorities; (b) pornographic or sexually explicit content, whether photographic or video, including content produced for the adult-entertainment industry or intended for distribution on adult platforms; (c) intimate imagery of any person captured or shared without their consent.
3. The prohibition in point 2(b) does not apply to artistic nude and boudoir photography of consenting adults, created as part of an ordinary photography engagement and shared privately with the client; we recommend password-protecting such galleries.
4. On material breach the Operator may restrict or terminate the account after prior notice; for plainly unlawful content or content under point 2(a), without notice. Accounts that repeatedly infringe copyright will be terminated.

8. Reporting infringing or illegal content (DMCA and DSA)

1. Anyone may report content they consider illegal via the "Report" button on every public gallery (/g/) and transfer (/h/) page, or by email to support@getselekt.com. For your notice to be processed under Article 16 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act), please include: an explanation of why you consider the content illegal, the exact URL, your name and email address (not required for suspected child sexual abuse material), and a statement that you believe your notice is accurate and made in good faith. We process notices diligently and inform both the reporter and the affected user of our decision.
2. For the purposes of the U.S. DMCA, the Operator's designated agent for copyright infringement notices (registration no. DMCA-1077469) is: Tomas Habr — Selekt, Seifertova 499/59, 130 00 Prague 3, Czech Republic, email support@getselekt.com. Notices must contain the elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3): identification of the copyrighted work, the exact URL of the allegedly infringing content, your contact details, a good-faith statement, a statement of accuracy and authority to act for the rights holder, and your signature. Upon receiving a valid notice we will remove or disable access to the content without undue delay and notify the uploader, who may submit a counter-notification under § 512(g).

9. Handoff file transfers

1. Handoff lets Users send files via an expiring link and request files from third parties via an upload link.
2. Every transfer has an expiry date shown at creation and on the download page. After expiry (or earlier deletion by the sender), the transferred files are permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. Transfers are a delivery mechanism, not storage — the backup commitments of Section 10(3) do not apply to them. Draft transfers not sent within 7 days are deleted automatically.
3. The person who uploads a file is responsible for having the rights to share it. Files received through a file request are uploaded by third parties; the Operator does not review transferred files and acts as a hosting intermediary. The acceptable-use rules of Section 7 apply to all transfers.
4. Anyone in possession of a transfer link can access the files until expiry; choose recipients and share links accordingly. Transfer size, expiry options and download receipts depend on your plan as described on the pricing page.

10. Availability and changes

1. The Operator makes reasonable efforts to keep the Service available but guarantees no specific service level (SLA). Planned maintenance happens outside usual business hours where possible.
2. Features evolve continuously; material reductions of paid-plan functionality are announced in advance.
3. Service data is backed up daily; Users are nevertheless advised to keep their own copies of original files.

11. Termination

1. The User may delete the account anytime in the app (Settings → Account). A 30-day grace period follows during which the request can be cancelled; afterwards the account and data are permanently deleted.
2. The Operator may terminate with 30 days' notice; for Pro, the proportional part of the subscription for the unused period is refunded.

12. Liability

1. The Operator's liability for damage caused by breach of its obligations is limited to the amounts the User paid for the Service in the preceding 12 months. This does not apply to damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence, or to harm to natural rights of a person.
2. Statutory consumer rights remain unaffected.

13. Consumer provisions

1. Consumers have a 14-day right of withdrawal; details and the more generous 30-day money-back guarantee are in the Refund Policy.
2. Out-of-court consumer dispute resolution: Czech Trade Inspection Authority (coi.cz); EU ODR platform: ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

14. Final provisions

1. These terms are governed by Czech law; mandatory consumer protections of the consumer's home jurisdiction remain unaffected.
2. These terms exist in Czech and English; the Czech version prevails.
3. Changes are announced by e-mail or in-app at least 14 days in advance; continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you disagree, you may delete your account.
