Terms of Service

You retain full ownership of all photographs and content you upload to the Platform. CameraComp does not claim any ownership rights over your work.

By uploading content, you grant Bailey Digital Solutions Pty Ltd a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to:

• Display your photographs within competitions, galleries, and results pages on the Platform
• Create optimised versions (thumbnails, compressed copies) for platform performance
• Display your work to judges during the judging process
• Include your work in results announcements and winner displays within the Platform
• Display your work on club or federation websites hosted on the Platform, where you have entered competitions or are a member

This licence exists solely for operating the Platform and terminates when you delete the content or your account, except where content has been incorporated into published competition results. Published results (including titles, scores, and placement information) may be retained as a historical record even after content deletion. The associated image file will be removed.

You represent and warrant that:

• All content you upload is your original work, or you have the necessary rights and permissions to submit it
• Your content does not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party
• Your content does not contain illegal, defamatory, obscene, or objectionable material
• Any EXIF metadata or GPS data embedded in your photographs is included with your knowledge (you may remove it before uploading)

CameraComp allows you to publish a portfolio showcasing your photographs. When you publish a portfolio:

• Your portfolio page is publicly accessible to anyone on the internet, including people who are not CameraComp users
• Your portfolio may be indexed by search engines (such as Google) and may appear in search results
• Photographs you add to your portfolio are displayed at the resolution you choose — you control which images are included
• Your display name and any biography you provide will be publicly visible on your portfolio page

You can unpublish your portfolio at any time through your account settings. Unpublishing removes public access immediately. However, search engine caches may take time to update and are outside CameraComp’s control.

CameraComp is not responsible for third-party use of content you have made publicly available through your portfolio. Once content is publicly accessible, third parties may view, link to, or reference it. If you do not wish content to be publicly visible, do not add it to your portfolio.

All payments on the Platform are processed by Stripe, a third-party payment processor. By making a payment, you also agree to Stripe’s terms of service. CameraComp does not store your credit or debit card details. Card information is entered directly on a Stripe-hosted checkout page.

CameraComp is not responsible for Stripe’s decisions regarding payment declines, holds, or account restrictions. If you experience a payment issue caused by Stripe, you should contact Stripe directly or contact us at support@cameracomp.com.au for assistance.

Some competitions require an entry fee set by the organising club or federation. When you pay an entry fee:

• The entry fee amount is transferred to the club’s or federation’s connected bank account
• A service fee of 5% of the entry fee is retained by CameraComp as a platform fee
• A processing fee is charged by Stripe (estimated at 1.75% + $0.30 AUD for Australian cards; actual fees may vary for international cards)

Depending on the club’s settings, these fees may be:

• Passed through to you (shown as separate line items at checkout), or
• Absorbed by the club (included in the entry fee price)

The complete fee breakdown, including all applicable fees, will be displayed on the checkout page before you confirm payment. The amount charged to your card will not differ from the amount shown at checkout.

Some clubs collect annual membership dues through the Platform. CameraComp does not charge a platform fee on membership dues. Only standard payment processing fees (charged by Stripe) apply.

CameraComp offers optional paid subscription tiers for individual members that provide additional storage and features. Subscriptions:

• Are billed annually and automatically renew unless cancelled before the renewal date
• Can be cancelled at any time through your account settings; access continues until the end of the current billing period
• Are refundable within 14 days of purchase if no significant storage has been consumed (more than 10% of the tier’s allocation)

We will send a renewal reminder at least 7 days before your subscription renews. You will not be charged without prior notice.

If you purchase prints through the Platform, a marketplace commission of 15% is applied by CameraComp. This commission is included in the listed price.

Competition entry fees are generally non-refundable once submitted, as the entry is immediately processed by the organising club. Refunds for competition entries are at the discretion of the organising club or federation. CameraComp will facilitate refunds requested by clubs but is not obligated to issue refunds for competition disputes.

For subscription refunds, contact support@cameracomp.com.au within 14 days of purchase.

Refunds are processed through Stripe and typically appear within 5–10 business days, depending on your financial institution.

To the maximum extent permitted by Australian law:

• The Platform is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, except as required by the Australian Consumer Law
• CameraComp is not liable for any loss arising from competition outcomes, judging decisions, or the conduct of clubs, federations, judges, or other users
• CameraComp is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of data, revenue, or opportunity
• Our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising from your use of the Platform is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid CameraComp in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) $50 AUD

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any guarantee, right, or remedy that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)).

To the extent that CameraComp is entitled to limit its liability under the Australian Consumer Law for a failure to comply with a consumer guarantee, our liability is limited (at our option) to:

• Resupply of the services; or
• Payment of the cost of having the services resupplied

You may delete your account at any time through your account settings or by contacting support@cameracomp.com.au. Upon deletion:

• Your personal data and photographs will be deleted within 30 days
• Payment records are retained for 7 years (legal requirement)
• Published competition results may be retained as historical records (without your images)
• Any active subscription will be cancelled; no pro-rata refund is provided for the remaining billing period

We may suspend or terminate your account if:

• You breach these Terms and fail to remedy the breach within 14 days of notice (where the breach is capable of remedy)
• You engage in fraudulent, illegal, or seriously harmful activity (immediate termination, no notice required)
• Your account is inactive for more than 24 months (with 30 days’ notice before deletion)
• We are required to do so by law or court order

On termination, your right to use the Platform ceases immediately. Sections 5.3 (Your Responsibilities), 12 (Limitation of Liability), 13 (Indemnity), and 15 (Governing Law) survive termination.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and CameraComp regarding your individual use of the Platform. They supersede all prior agreements, representations, and understandings regarding the same subject matter.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.

A failure or delay by CameraComp to exercise any right under these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right.

You may not assign or transfer your rights under these Terms. CameraComp may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all of its assets, provided the assignee assumes all obligations under these Terms.
