Hi, it just came to my mind now. Did anyone checked with usage terms and conditions of this site?

“You retain all of your ownership rights in your User Submission but by submitting your User Submissions to the Site, and as a condition of your use of the Service, you hereby grant MagCloud a worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, copy, display, perform, modify, transmit, make derivative works of, and distribute your User Submission, for the purpose of providing and promoting the Service, including without limitation, for redistributing part or all of the User Submissions (and derivative works thereof) in any media formats and through any media channels. The license granted by you to MagCloud terminates once you remove or delete a User Submission from the Site.”

Sounds like they want to use your images to promote the site.

Ha, I was just highlighting the same paragraph to post. This is similar to the flickr agreement, which was modified recently to remove similar language, no?

Personally, I don’t find that agreement particularly bothersome.

Bothers me. A lot. Stupidly didn’t check the terms, otherwise my header post would have been different from the start. Same reason I did not enter the $20k Blurb book contest: rules say they get to abuse all losers’ images forever, universe wide. Pass. Don’t see yours on the short list, Erica.

I just sent an email to magcloud, expressing some concern over the license. They told me they were in the process of revising the license. I’ll let you know if anything happens.
