By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Service Overview
UserMoment is a platform that connects freelance photographers ("Creators") with clients ("Users") using a unique U-Code system. Photographers upload photo galleries linked to a U-Code, which clients can unlock using verified credentials (email or phone), or a public event passcode.
The Service also enables direct purchases, downloads, and bookings through our proprietary marketplace technology.
2. Eligibility and Account Registration
You must be at least 18 years old to use UserMoment. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that:
- You are of legal age
- You have the authority to enter into these Terms
- All information provided is accurate and complete
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials. You are also responsible for all activity under your account.
3. Creator Responsibilities
If you are a Creator (photographer):
- You retain full ownership of your uploaded content, but grant UserMoment a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display your galleries within the platform
- You must not upload illegal, pornographic, or copyrighted content you do not own
- You are solely responsible for the accuracy of gallery metadata, pricing, contact assignment, and delivery of services
- You must comply with all local laws and regulations related to your services
4. U-Code Access System
UserMoment uses a proprietary system of U-Codes (unique gallery identifiers) that allow clients to access event-specific photos.
There are two modes of gallery access:
- Private Access: Clients must verify using a matching email or phone number assigned by the Creator
- Public Event Access: Clients must enter a shared passcode (set by the Creator) to view the gallery
UserMoment is not responsible for lost or unassigned U-Codes, mistyped verification data, or failure to access galleries due to incorrect inputs.
5. Payments and Refunds
- All transactions are processed securely via Stripe
- Creators are responsible for setting the price of their galleries or individual photos
- UserMoment does not offer or process refunds directly. Refunds are the sole responsibility of the Creator and must be requested through their provided contact
