Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of PicsMatch (the "Service"), a selfie capture and event-photo delivery service. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. The Service

The Service lets you register for an event by capturing a selfie with your device's camera — either manually or automatically when a blink is detected. Your selfie is linked to your phone number and may be used to identify and deliver photos of you taken at the event by the organiser or photographer.

2. Access and registration

• Registration requires a one-time access link issued for your phone number. Links are personal to you, expire automatically if unused, and become invalid once used.
• You must not share your access link with others or attempt to register using a link issued for someone else.
• You confirm that the name and phone number associated with your registration are your own and accurate.

3. Camera permission

The Service requires access to your device's camera, which your browser will ask you to grant. You may decline, but the Service cannot function without it. Blink detection runs locally in your browser; only the final captured selfie is uploaded.

4. Your content and consent

• You must only capture and submit a selfie of yourself. Submitting images of another person without their consent is prohibited.
• By submitting a selfie, you grant us and the event organiser a limited licence to store and process it for the purposes described in our Privacy Policy — including automated liveness checks and matching your selfie against photos taken at the event, so your photos can be delivered to you.
• You retain all ownership rights in your selfie. We do not use it for advertising or sell it to third parties.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• upload spoofed, manipulated, or misleading images (for example, a photo of a photo);
• attempt to bypass access controls, probe, or disrupt the Service;
• use automated tools to access the Service or harvest data from it;
• use the Service for any unlawful purpose.

6. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, and branding, is owned by us or our licensors and protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Event photographs remain the property of the photographer or organiser, subject to any separate agreement between you and them.

7. Availability and changes

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (in whole or in part) at any time. We aim for high availability but do not guarantee the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free.

8. Disclaimer

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied. In particular, we do not warrant that automated blink detection, liveness checks, or photo matching will be accurate in every case.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for loss of data or photos, arising out of or related to your use of the Service. Our total aggregate liability shall not exceed the amount (if any) you paid to use the Service.

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you breach these Terms or misuse the Service. You may stop using the Service at any time and may request deletion of your data as described in our Privacy Policy.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date above shows the latest revision. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, and any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of India, unless a mandatory law in your place of residence provides otherwise.
