We have made a slight tweak to the terms in the UKC Photo Gallery.
All the change does is acknowledge the fact that photos uploaded to the database can be linked to from crag and route listings in the UKC Logbook database. This database is also now accessed by the Rockfax App hence photos do appear in the Rockfax App to illustrate crags and routes although they are never actually downloaded and stored on anyone's phone.
The new terms are displayed below and when you upload a photo.
Thanks
Alan

> All photo submissions are checked by us before we make them public on the site.
Please, no inappropriate photos - they will be immediately removed.
> Only upload photographs that you have copyright or permission to use (no scanning from guidebooks or magazines please!)
> You retain the copyright of images that you upload, and we will not reproduce them in printed form.
> You can remove a photo from your gallery at any time.
> Occasionally we use photos from the UKC database to illustrate news items and articles. We do make efforts to contact people for permission first however it isn't always possible before an item/article is made public. If you find a photo of yours being used and don't wish it to be then please contact us and we will remove it from the news item or article.
> Most photos are assigned a crag when uploading and this enables them to be linked and disaplyed with the crags and routes in the UKC Logbook database. These photos are also accessed directly by the Rockfax App to display with the crags and routes it covers. This is an automatic process and no permission is sought to display these photos. If you find your photo being displayed in UKC Logbook, or the Rockfax App, and wish it to be removed, then please delete the photo from the UKC Photo Database.
> Photos that do well in the Photo of the Week competition are posted onto our social media channels.
