By using our Services, you're agreeing to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and Acceptable Use Policy.

We may revise these Terms at any time, for any reason, by providing at least 30 days prior notice of the change, whether via our website, by sending you an email or via any messaging service we provide. Your continued use after that notice means that you agree to the changed Terms.

# Forever Free for Personal use

Lensdump is forever free for personal use only. If you're using it for a (for-profit or non-profit) project/team/website/company/organization, you'll have to make sure that you're subscribed to the right donation tier. Using free account for commercial purposes or to link image assets to your (for-profit or non-profit) website/blog as CDN is strictly prohibited.

# Your Content & Permissions

When using our Services, you provide us with things like files, content, videos, etc ("Your Content"). Your Content is yours. These Terms give us limited rights that enable us to offer our Services.

We need your permission to do things like hosting Your Content, backing it up, and sharing it. Our Services also provide you with features like photo thumbnails, album creation, and searching. These and other features may require our systems to access, store, and scan Your Content. By agreeing to these Terms, you agree to give us permission to do those things, and this permission extends to trusted third parties we work with. We reserve the right to disclose data and other information as required by law or any competent authority. This is detailed in our Privacy Policy and DMCA/IP Policy, both of which are subject to these Terms.

Our Services may automatically (without us viewing the file content) delete a file you upload where it determines that the file is an exact duplicate of a file already on our service (a process usually referred to as deduplication). In that case, the original file will be accessed by you and any other user and that file will be retained as long as any user has a right to access it under these Terms. Any right of deletion that you exercise will not apply to a deduplicated file that is associated with another user. Our Services may also automatically delete a file you upload where it determines that file may contain malicious content (malware, virus, spyware, etc).
