Terms of service

Panoramble is a field guide for outdoor photographers: stops, stopovers, field notes, Sundial, and the photographs that prove them. You bring the work; we keep it yours, show it big, and never get between you and your copyright.

By creating an account you agree to these terms, the rights charter and the privacy policy. If you don’t agree, don’t create an account — the marketing pages are yours to read regardless.

You sign in with a one-time code sent to your email — there is no password to leak. Keep that email address current and its inbox secure; whoever controls it controls the account.

One person per account. You’re responsible for what’s posted from yours.

You must be at least 13 to use Panoramble.

Copyright stays with you, entirely. Uploading grants us one narrow licence: to store your photo and display it on Panoramble at the visibility you chose, with your name attached. That’s the whole licence.

It ends the second you delete the photo. No sublicensing, no AI training, no resale, no repost button — the rights charter spells out each of these with the mechanism that makes it true.

Upload only work you made, or have the right to publish. If someone else’s work shows up under your name, the moderation process in section 05 applies.

The Free plan is real and stays free: as many stops, stopovers and photos as you like. We keep a high-quality copy of each photo you upload (up to 2560 px on the long side, more for a panorama, with its EXIF), not the original — unless you’re on Field and choose to keep the original instead, untouched. Every account can upload up to 300 photos a day and hold up to 50 GB; with a Field subscription you can buy more room. Field is a paid subscription — current prices are on the pricing page, they include VAT, and payment is handled by Stripe; card details never touch our servers.

Email us within 14 days of any charge for a full refund, no questions asked.

Cancel any time — you keep Field until the end of the period you paid for, then drop to Free. Everything you made stays. Originals you kept on Field are held for 30 days after Field ends; we email you when it ends, a week before and a day before, and in that time you can download them or renew to keep them. After that each becomes the same high-quality copy Free keeps, and the original is deleted.

If a renewal payment fails we retry for a while before dropping the tier — a lapsed card is a grace period, not a cliff.

Subscriptions are available to UK customers at launch; international billing is coming.

Fully AI-generated imagery is banned. Heavier edits carry a disclosure; straight-from-camera needs nothing. Present your work as what it is.

Respect the places. Use location precision honestly — fragile sites deserve the fuzzy or area setting, and disclosures about access exist to keep both photographers and locations safe.

Anyone signed in can report a photo, a note someone wrote, or a place that duplicates another. A report never hides anything by itself and stays private — a person reviews it, and the writer or photographer is never told who reported. Outcomes are graduated (for a photo: disclosure added, then removed), and a reviewer may add a strike when something is removed. Defending yourself is always free.

Two strikes within six months pause uploading, publishing, posting and reporting for 30 days. Reading, downloading and deleting your own work are never paused — your exit is never held hostage. To keep threads readable, an account can post up to 30 notes and file up to 20 reports an hour.

Delete any photo at any time — the effect is immediate and worldwide, as the rights charter promises. If it has been reported, we keep it privately for up to 30 days so a reviewer can still judge it, then it’s destroyed; deleting is never itself a reason for a strike. A photo a reviewer removes is kept the same way.

Delete your account and everything goes with it within 30 days, except the minimal records we’re legally required to keep — and a place other people have added their own work to, which stays without your name. If you’re on a paid plan, cancel it first: deleting your account doesn’t stop the payments.

We can close accounts that break these terms, with the same graduated process as section 05 — but we never delete your work without telling you why.

We work hard to keep Panoramble up and your photos safe — including nightly off-site backups — but we’re a small service and can’t promise perfection. Panoramble is provided “as is”; keep your own originals.

Our liability to you is capped at what you paid us in the last 12 months. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that UK law says can’t be excluded.

We may change or retire features. If a change would weaken a promise in the rights charter, the charter’s rule applies: we tell you plainly and in advance, not in a buried diff.

When these terms change we’ll say so on this page with a fresh date, and email you if the change matters. Continuing to use Panoramble after that means you accept the new terms.

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and disputes belong to its courts — though we’d much rather you just email us first.

Questions, refunds, complaints: hello@panoramble.app. Panoramble is run by Pete Waters, sole trader, Cardiff, Wales.
