Content Guidelines

PhotoMart is a place to create pictures you are proud of: portraits, team photos, product shots, posters and art. These guidelines explain what you may and may not upload or create. They are part of our Terms of Use and apply to everything you upload, create, share, sell or order through PhotoMart, including prints, downloads, Fine Art Display Pics listings and messages.

The rules are simple. Use your own photos or photos you have permission to use. Respect other people. Keep it clean and legal.

1. Use photos you have the right to use

• Upload photos of yourself, or of people who have agreed to it. For anyone under 18, a parent or guardian must agree.
• Do not upload photos of strangers, or photos taken from someone else's social media or website without permission.
• Do not upload work that belongs to someone else, such as another photographer's photo, artwork, or a brand's logo, unless you have the right to use it.
• Fine Art Display Pics photographers may sell only photographs they took themselves.

2. No sexual content or nudity

We do not allow:

• nudity, or partial nudity presented in a sexual way;
• sexually explicit or suggestive pictures;
• pictures that undress someone, or make a real person appear nude or sexual; and
• anything that sexualizes a minor, in any way. Content that sexually exploits children is reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and law enforcement, and the account is closed.

3. Respect real people

We do not allow using PhotoMart to:

• make pictures of a real person without their permission;
• impersonate someone, or create a picture meant to pass as a real, unaltered photo of an event that did not happen;
• suggest that a person or company endorses you, your product or a cause when they do not;
• harass, bully, threaten, shame or humiliate anyone;
• share someone else's private information, such as their address, phone number, ID or financial details; or
• create misleading pictures about elections, public figures, emergencies or news events.

Public figures are real people too. Do not use their likeness in a way that is misleading, sexual, or harmful.

4. No hate or violence

We do not allow content that:

• attacks or demeans people because of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, or any other protected characteristic;
• promotes hate groups, terrorism or violent extremism, or uses their symbols in support;
• shows or glorifies graphic violence, gore, cruelty to animals, or serious injury; or
• encourages self-harm, suicide or eating disorders.

5. Nothing illegal or dangerous

We do not allow content that:

• promotes or sells illegal drugs, weapons, or other regulated or illegal goods or services;
• gives instructions for crime or dangerous acts;
• is fake or forged, such as fake IDs, documents, licenses or official photos; or
• supports fraud, scams or human exploitation.

6. Keep PhotoMart working

• Do not try to get around our safety filters, watermarks, credit charges or limits.
• Do not use bots or scripts to create pictures, scrape the site, or download content in bulk.
• Do not upload files that contain viruses or other harmful code.
• Do not use more than one account to get around a suspension or to claim extra free credits.

7. Business use

You may use pictures you create for your own business, such as headshots, team photos and product images, as long as you follow these guidelines and our Terms. Fine Art Display Pics photographs are sold for personal and office display only, unless the listing says otherwise.

8. How we enforce these guidelines

We use a mix of automated filters (including the safety systems of our AI providers) and human review. No system catches everything, so we also rely on reports.

If content breaks these guidelines, we may, depending on how serious it is:

• block the request or remove the content;
• warn you;
• limit features;
• suspend or close your account; and
• report it to the authorities where the law requires it or where someone may be in danger.

9. Report a problem

If you see something on PhotoMart that breaks these guidelines, or you believe a picture uses your photo or likeness without permission, email [CONTACT EMAIL] with a link or a description. We review every report and act quickly on anything involving a minor or a threat of harm. For copyright complaints, please follow the process in section 11 of our Terms of Use.

10. Changes

We may update these guidelines as PhotoMart grows. The date at the top shows the latest version.
