It is not our responsibility to ensure that each Subject has the required consent in order for their photograph or image to be used on the Site. Schools must send all parents/guardians a consent form to receive written consent or to allow them to express their objections if they do not wish the Subject to be photographed.
If You are a parent or guardian of the Subject, You agree to hereby provide your consent to and confirm that the Subject’s image may be used in the provision of the Services (which may include group shots) and which may include purchase by other users of the Site.
Generally, and as a user of the Site, You hereby confirm the following:
a) You agree to only purchase photographs or images that you have a genuine reason to purchase such as (but not limited to) the Subject being a relation of yours or for the purposes of a gift – we may, in our sole discretion ask You questions to determine Your connection to the Subject and if we are not satisfied with Your answers we can refuse to allow You to use the Service. We may, if we consider it appropriate, contact the relevant authorities and provide whatever personal or other identifying information we may hold on You;
