Terms of Service

These terms apply to photos.andrewlink.xyz (the "Site"), run by Andrew Link, doing business as ALink Photography ("I", "me"). By using the Site, creating an account or downloading photos, you agree to these terms and to the Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the Site.

All photos on the Site are my original work and remain my property. I keep the copyright in every image, including images you download.

You may not copy, save, screenshot for redistribution, crop out or remove watermarks from, edit, sell or otherwise use any photo shown on the Site except as these terms allow.

When you download a collection, free or paid, I grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to:

• keep the photos and make personal prints;
• share them on your personal social media, with credit to ALink Photography where practical.

Not included without my written permission: commercial use, advertising or promotion, resale, use by media outlets, use in contests, or editing that changes the character of an image (filters and crops for personal posts are fine). For these uses, ask about licensing.

Some collections are shared by private link and may need a password to download. Please keep links and passwords to yourself and the people they were meant for. I may change a password or remove a collection at any time.

I keep collections online for a reasonable time but can't guarantee permanent storage. Please download and back up the photos you want to keep.

You're responsible for keeping your login secure and for what happens under your account. Give accurate information, and don't share your account. I may suspend or close accounts that break these terms. You can ask me to delete your account at any time.

Some collections can be downloaded for free, with an optional donation. Others have a price. Payments are processed by Stripe; I never see or store your full card details. Prices are in US dollars.

Donations are voluntary gifts to support my work. They don't buy extra rights and are generally not refundable.

Purchases give you the download license described above. Because digital downloads are delivered immediately, sales are final. If a download fails or files are missing or damaged, contact me and I'll fix it or refund you.

Please don't:

• try to get around image protection, watermarks, passwords or payment;
• scrape, bulk-download or automate access to the Site;
• send spam or abusive messages through the contact form;
• interfere with the Site's security or operation.

If you appear in a photo and would like it taken down from public view, contact me and I'll review your request promptly. Requests involving minors are prioritised.

The Site is provided "as is". I work to keep it available and secure, but I don't promise it will always be uninterrupted or error-free.

To the extent the law allows, I'm not liable for indirect or consequential losses, and my total liability for any claim relating to the Site is limited to the amount you paid me in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection law that can't be waived.

I may update these terms. When I do, I'll change the effective date above. Continuing to use the Site after an update means you accept the new terms.

These terms are governed by the laws of the U.S. state where ALink Photography is based, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be handled in the courts of that state.
