Image License Information
This page is to help our users understand how images are used.
What does licensing my images mean?
You are uploading images to our server, and users will be able to access your images. We will display the license you've chosen to use, as well as your name as the author, which is a standard practice. We make no guarantees about how your images will be used by other people, just like any other website that has images, but we trust that the majority of users will be responsible and honor the license that you've chosen to use.
