Terms of Submission

Effective: May 2025

By submitting a project or any related content (including images, text, video, or other media) to Sign Snippets, you agree to the terms below. These apply whether your submission is made via our website, email, form, or any other channel.

1. You Still Own Your Work

You retain full ownership of all content you submit. Submitting it to Sign Snippets does not transfer ownership.

2. You Give Us Permission to Use It

By submitting, you grant Sign Snippets a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, publish, edit, crop, reproduce, distribute, and adapt your content in any format or medium — whether digital, print, or otherwise.

This includes, but is not limited to, use across:

  • Our website and social media channels

  • Email newsletters (free or paid)

  • Sponsored posts and branded editorial features

  • Visual archives or inspiration galleries

  • Printed books, digital downloads, and other paid products

  • Awards programmes, presentations, reports, or future editorial formats

  • Any platform, product, or business operated by Sign Snippets or its founders — now or in the future

This license cannot be revoked, even if you later request removal. You will not receive payment or royalties for any use of submitted content, and submission does not guarantee publication.

Where possible and appropriate, we’ll include photographer or studio credits, especially in editorial features. However, we may adjust or omit credits where necessary for layout, formatting, or design purposes.

3. You Confirm You Have the Rights

You confirm that you either:

  • Own the content, or

  • Have permission from the rights-holder (such as a photographer, studio, or client) to submit it and allow us to use it as outlined above

If your submission includes work by others, it is your responsibility to ensure all relevant permissions and credits have been secured before submitting.

4. You Agree to Indemnify Us

If someone claims we used their content without permission based on what you submitted, you agree to take full responsibility. That includes covering any legal costs, losses, or damages that arise as a result.

5. Editorial Control

All editorial decisions are at the sole discretion of Sign Snippets. We may:

  • Edit, crop, reformat, or recontextualise your submission

  • Decide how and where it is featured

  • Decline to publish your submission altogether

You are not entitled to editorial review or approval of any copy, captions, credits, or visual presentation associated with your content.

6. Curated and Publicly Available Content

In addition to direct submissions, we may feature publicly available projects in editorial formats, including sponsored newsletters, where attribution is publicly visible and the feature is non-commercial in intent toward the content itself.

This may include use in sponsored newsletters or promotional emails, where content is presented for editorial purposes and not sold or licensed as a standalone product.

If you believe your work has been used without permission or proper credit, please email [email protected] with the relevant details. We will review and, where appropriate, update the credit or remove the content.

7. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising from or related to these terms will be handled exclusively by the courts of England and Wales.

By submitting any of your content to Sign Snippets, you confirm that you’ve read and agreed to these terms in full.
