The Standard License is non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, non-transferable (except pursuant to section 3.2.1.), non-sublicensable license to use, reproduce, archive, modify, and display the Work, in all media, for advertising, marketing, promotional, and decoration purposes.

3.2.1. Additional Rights. The following additional rights of this subsection are subject to further restrictions of section 3.3.

The Customer must purchase additional licenses for the same Work if it intends to use the same Work for the benefit of other clients.

into such merchandise, is not substantially similar to the Work and can qualify as an original work of authorship; or (ii) the primary value of such merchandise does not lie with the Work itself.

cause confusion among Customers or Designers, or in any manner that disparages, discredits, or disassociates POST.

6.2. Fraud. You may not use the App in a fraudulent manner, or otherwise in a manner for which the App is not reasonably intended to be used.

10.2. Specific Disclaimer. POST SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY ACTIONS RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF ANY SERVICES OR WORKS. YOU MAY USE AND ACCESS THE SERVICES OR WORKS AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM THE USE AND ACCESS OF ANY SERVICE OR WORKS.

11. Limitations of Liability

11.1. Waiver of Liability. Under no circumstances including, without limitation, its own negligence, shall POST or its parents, subsidiaries, officers, employees, affiliates, directors, agents, suppliers, or any other party involved in creating producing, transmitting, or distributing POST or related Services be liable for any direct, indirect, special, consequential, incidental, exemplary, or punitive damages. The limitations and exclusions in this section apply to the
maximum extent permitted by law.

11.2. Damages Limited. Such damages that are limited include, but are not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses, (even if POST has been advised of the possibility of these damages), including those (a) resulting from loss of use, data, or profits, whether or not foreseeable, (b) based on any theory of liability, including breach of contract or warranty, negligence or other tortious action, (c) arising from any other claim arising out of or in connection with a user’s or a Designer’s use of or access to the Services or the Work, (d) arising from the cost of procurement of substitute goods and services resulting from any goods, data, information or services purchased or obtained or messages received or transaction entered into through or from the App, (e) unauthorized access to or alteration of the Designer’s transmission or data, or (f) statement or conduct of any other third party on the App.

12. Termination and Suspension

notice to you at POST’s discretion, including, without limitation, for your breach of these
terms (or act in a manner that clearly shows you do not intend to, or are unable to, comply with
these terms), if it has become impractical for POST to offer the Services in your region, or for
inactivity by you with respect to use of the App. You may at any time terminate the Terms of Use or your account by sending a termination request to POST through your account page on the App.

12.2. Access to App. POST will terminate a Customer’s or Designer’s access to the App if it has determined the Customer or Designer to have repeatedly violated the Terms of Use.

12.3. Account Suspension. POST may suspend your account at any time and for any length of time for any reason. During the time your account is suspended, you will not be able to upload any Works on the App, but you may continue to access your account.

 

13. Termination of Agreement

13.1. Termination of Terms of Use Agreement. Upon any termination of these terms, your account will be canceled and closed; all Works uploaded by you will be removed from the App, provided, however, that POST may continue to use the Work for internal archival and reference purposes and all customers who have purchased a Work may continue to use your Work under the terms of these Terms of Use; you may continue to use the Work pursuant to the license that you have purchased; and POST may prevent you from signing up to use or access the Services or the App.

13.2. Remaining Obligations. Termination of this Agreement does not relieve you of any obligations to pay any outstanding fees, or other obligations under any other agreement that has not been specifically terminated. The provisions of Sections 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, and 14 will survive the termination of these terms.

14. Standards

14.1. Moral Standards. POST strives to educate its members about achieving and maintaining high standards in the use of photographic images through good judgment and the application of relevant, recognized principles and standards. Below is an outline of the expectations of Customers, Designers, users, and members regarding human rights, with a specific focus on children’s rights, in its business practices.

14.2. Consent. Designers who provide POST with images have the responsibility to ensure that the highest standards are met. Accordingly, POST requires that a properly executed model release consent be obtained by the Designer for all photographs of persons appearing in any uploaded Works, and signed by a parent or guardian of any underage model appearing in a Work, before submitting such Work to POST.

14.3. Children. POST has a zero-tolerance policy related to inappropriate images of children. In its role as a marketplace for the uploading of images, if POST becomes aware of any such inappropriate images of children, POST may take one or more of the of the following actions (in addition to any other actions it may deem appropriate): alert the appropriate law enforcement authorities; remove the images of concern from all libraries and servers; and suspend or delete the account of the providers and users of such photos.

15. Miscellaneous

15.1. Governing Law & Jurisdiction. YOUR RELATIONSHIP IS WITH POST, A COMPANY HEADQUARTERED IN DUBAI, UAE, AND THE SERVICES AND THESE TERMS ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF UAE. YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS UNDER THE LAW. POST DOES NOT SEEK TO LIMIT THOSE RIGHTS TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LAW. All claims or disputes that are not subject to arbitration will be resolved exclusively by a court located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. You and POST agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Dubai for the purpose of litigating all such claims, disputes, or matters.
15.2. Legal Disputes. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON HOW CLAIMS YOU AND POST HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED. In this Legal Disputes Section, the term “related third parties” includes your and Post’s respective affiliates, subsidiaries, parent companies, predecessors, successors, assigns, as well as your, Post’s, and these entities’ respective employees and agents. You and POST agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen, or may arise, between you and Post (or any related third parties) that relates in any way to or arises out of this or previous versions of this User Agreement & Terms of Use, your use of or access to the Services, the actions of Post or its agents, or any products or services sold or purchased through the Services, will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Legal Disputes Section.

15.2.1. Agreement to Arbitrate. You and POST each agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen, or may arise, between you and POST (or any related third parties) that relate in any way to or arise out of this or previous versions of the User Agreement & Terms of Use, your use of or access to the App or our Services, the actions of POST or its agents, or any products or services sold, offered, or purchased through our Services shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court. However, to the extent that you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate intellectual property rights, POST may seek immediate injunctive or other appropriate relief in any court of any state, province, principality, country, or sovereign territory as allowable by applicable law. This provision does not prevent the parties from consenting to mediation or other forms of alternative dispute resolution.

15.2.2. Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. YOU AND POST AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, OR REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND POST AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER USERS. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim or a particular request for a remedy (such as a request for injunctive relief), then that claim or that remedy request (and only that claim or that remedy request) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court (pursuant to Section 15.1, above), subject to your and POST's right to appeal the court's decision. All other claims will be arbitrated.

15.2.3. Arbitration Procedures. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individualized basis that a court can award to an individual. An arbitrator should apply the terms of the User Agreement & Terms of Use as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to arbitrability, the scope or enforceability of this Agreement to Arbitrate, or the “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief,” shall be for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide.

15.2.3.1. Administration of Arbitration
The arbitration will be administered by the Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC) in accordance with its Arbitration Rules, as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the DIAC shall determine which of its rules apply to the arbitration. The DIAC’s rules are available at https://u.ae/en/information-and-services/justice-safety-and-the-law/litigation-procedures/alternative-methods-to-settle-disputes-/uae-federal-law-on-arbitration


15.2.3.2. Notice of Dispute and Arbitration Initiation

Any party intending to initiate arbitration must first provide the other party with a formal Notice of Dispute ("Notice"). The Notice must be sent via registered mail, recognized courier service (e.g., DHL, FedEx), or any equivalent method requiring a verifiable signature upon delivery.
The Notice must include the following:
• The sender’s personal signature,
• A clear description of the nature and basis of the dispute or claims,
• The specific relief sought, and
• The email address and phone number linked to the sender’s POST account.
The Notice to POST must be addressed as follows:
POST
Attn: POST Legal Department
Re: Notice of Dispute
Dubai Internet City 2
P.O. Box 500343
Dubai, United Arab Emirates

POST will send any Notice to the most recent physical address associated with your POST account. It is your responsibility to ensure your account details, including address, remain current.
If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within 90 calendar days after POST receives a valid Notice, either party may initiate arbitration proceedings through the Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC) in accordance with its applicable Arbitration Rules.

If you are a resident of the United Arab Emirates, the arbitration hearing shall be conducted in Dubai, UAE, unless the parties mutually agree to an alternative location within the UAE.
For claims and counterclaims that do not exceed AED 91,800 (approximately USD 25,000), the arbitration may be resolved based on documents only, at the discretion of the arbitrator, unless the arbitrator determines that an in-person hearing is necessary based on the circumstances.
In the event that an in-person hearing is required, either party may attend virtually (via video or telephone conference), unless the arbitrator decides that physical attendance is necessary.
The language of the arbitration shall be English, unless otherwise agreed by both parties.

15.2.3.4. Finality of Arbitration. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same POST user to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

15.2.3.5. Costs of Arbitration
Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, the payment of all arbitration-related costs, including filing fees, administrative fees, and arbitrator fees, shall be governed by the applicable rules of the Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC).
The arbitrator shall have the authority to allocate the costs and expenses of the arbitration, including legal fees, between the parties in a manner they deem appropriate and in accordance with the applicable UAE laws and DIAC Rules.
In the event the arbitrator determines that the claims you have brought are frivolous, vexatious, or made in bad faith, you agree to reimburse POST for any and all arbitration fees and costs that POST has paid in connection with the proceedings.


15.2.4. Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 15.2.2.
