These Terms and Conditions explain the rules for using macrophotos.org and its download features. In these terms, “Macro Photos”, “we”, and “our” refer to the operator of this website. You can contact us at [email protected].
Please read these terms before using the website. Your use must follow these terms and applicable law. Our Image Usage and License page governs the permission to use covered photographs, and our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information.
The website and its content
Macro Photos shares original macro and close-up photographs across subjects such as insects, flowers, leaves, water droplets, and textures. Photo pages provide information to help visitors select a download.
We may add, update, reorganize, or remove pages and files. The website and each download may not remain available at all times. Maintenance, hosting problems, connection faults, or other events can interrupt access.
Free downloads and image rights
We do not charge for photo downloads that we mark as free. Your internet or mobile service provider may still charge you for data.
A free download does not transfer copyright ownership or grant unlimited rights. Follow the license shown on the photo page. Our standard free photo license allows personal and commercial projects, including edits, but prohibits selling or redistributing the photo files themselves.
If a photo has a separate written license notice, read that notice before using it. The photo license takes priority over a general statement on another page when deciding what uses a photograph permits.
Use the website responsibly
You may browse the website, use its normal search and navigation features, and download photos through the links we provide. Do not:
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website, its accounts, or its hosting systems.
- Upload or send malicious code, spam, or material that breaks the law.
- Bypass security controls or download restrictions.
- Use automated requests in a way that disrupts the website or prevents others from using it.
- Copy the photo collection into a competing download service or redistribute its files against the photo license.
- Impersonate another person or make knowingly false ownership, support, or copyright claims.
Contact us before using bulk downloading or automated access outside normal search-engine crawling. Any separate permission must respect the rights that apply to the content.
Website branding and other material
The free photo license does not automatically cover the Macro Photos name, logo, website text, design elements, or software. Separate ownership and license terms may apply to those materials.
You may link to public website pages in a lawful way that does not falsely suggest a partnership or endorsement. A link does not give permission to copy or redistribute the underlying photo files.
Photo information and download sizes
We aim to describe photos and their downloads clearly. However, a title, caption, subject identification, dimension label, or other detail can contain an error. Let us know if you find one.
Use the listed pixel dimensions and file details to judge whether an image meets your needs. Available sizes vary by photograph. We do not promise that every image has an HD, 8K, alternate-angle, or other specific version.
Check a downloaded file before using it in an important project. A photo or caption should not be your only basis for a scientific identification or another decision that needs expert confirmation.
Messages and permission requests
When you contact us, provide accurate information and send only material you have the right to share. We may use your message to address the request as described in the Privacy Policy.
Sending a photo, suggestion, or question does not automatically transfer copyright to us or give us permission to publish it. A request for extra photo rights does not grant those rights until we confirm them in writing.
External links and services
Some pages may link to other websites or use services supplied by other providers. Those providers operate under their own terms. We do not control every external page or guarantee its availability, accuracy, or suitability.
Availability and limits
To the extent permitted by law, we provide the website and downloads as available, without a promise that they will meet every purpose or work without interruption. We do not guarantee a particular result from using an image in a design, print, or commercial project.
To the extent the law allows, we are not responsible for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of the website. Nothing in these terms excludes liability, consumer rights, or remedies that applicable law does not allow us to exclude.
Copyright concerns and access restrictions
If you believe a page or file infringes your rights, follow our Copyright and Removal Requests process. We may review, correct, restrict, or remove disputed material.
We may restrict website access where necessary to address misuse, security threats, or a breach of these terms. Any valid photo permissions already granted remain subject to the license that governs them.
Changes and questions
We may update these website terms and revise the date above. Updates apply to future website use to the extent permitted by law. Changes do not remove photo permissions validly granted under an earlier license when you continue to follow that license.
If a concern arises, contact [email protected] with the relevant page link and details. These terms do not require you to give up any dispute process or other right that the law protects.
