Acceptable Use Policy
These Terms of Use apply to the products, services, and technologies (collectively referred to as the “Products”) provided to you by Picture + Space under an ongoing agreement. These terms are intended to protect us, you as a customer, and the wider internet community from unethical, irresponsible, and illegal activities.
If you engage in activities prohibited by these terms of use, you may face service suspension and account termination. In extreme cases, we may be legally required to report you to the competent authorities.
These terms of use were last revised on 16 February 2026.
Fair Use
We provide our facilities on the assumption that your use will be "business as usual", as described in our offer. If your use is considered excessive, additional charges may apply or capacity may be limited.
We oppose all forms of abuse, discrimination, violation of rights and/or any action that harms or disadvantages a group, person or resource. We expect you and, where applicable, your users ("end users") to use our Products with the same intent.
Customer Responsibility
We consider you, the customer, responsible for your own actions and for the actions of anyone using our Products with your permission. This responsibility also applies to anyone using our Products without permission as a result of your failure to take reasonable security measures.
By using our Products, you agree to ensure that anyone using the products and services as your end-user complies with these terms of use. Complaints about your actions or those of your end-users will be forwarded to the contact person associated with your account.
If you – or your end-user, or anyone using our Products as a result of your actions – violate these Terms of Service, we reserve the right to terminate, without prior notice, any products and services associated with your account or your account itself, or to take any corrective or preventative action we deem appropriate. To the extent permitted by law, no compensation will be provided for service interruptions resulting from a violation of these Terms of Service.
