Rights & Contributor Permissions

Submitting material to GlowOps does not transfer copyright ownership to GlowOps. Photographers, writers, artists and other creators retain the rights they already own unless a separate written agreement expressly says otherwise.

When you intentionally provide material to GlowOps for publication or promotion, you confirm that you own the relevant rights or have obtained the permissions needed to authorise the intended use.

If a photographer or another person owns copyright in a photograph you provide, you are responsible for making sure the intended GlowOps editorial and promotional use is permitted and for giving us accurate creator-credit information where reasonably available.

By intentionally supplying material for a GlowOps feature, interview, profile, episode, magazine, archive entry or associated promotion, you grant GlowOps a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to reproduce, publish, display and communicate that material for those purposes.

The licence includes reasonable cropping, resizing, formatting, layout treatment, compression, captioning and other technical adaptations needed to present the work across GlowOps websites, social channels, digital publications, owned editorial materials and archive surfaces.

GlowOps aims to credit photographers and other creators where credit information is supplied and attribution is reasonably practicable. Contributors should provide accurate credits when submitting material.

Nothing in this policy is intended to transfer or waive a creator's moral rights. GlowOps will not knowingly falsely attribute a work or subject it to materially derogatory treatment.

The editorial licence also permits GlowOps to retain archival copies of published material and to create a limited number of physical archival or display copies for GlowOps or Tuan Luu's private studio, office or workspace.

Those displays may appear incidentally in the background of GlowOps or Tuan Luu-operated photographs, video or other media that documents or promotes GlowOps, its archive or related creative work. This does not turn the underlying photograph into GlowOps-owned property.

Supplying material for an editorial feature does not by itself give GlowOps permission to sell the submitted photograph as standalone merchandise, license it to unrelated third parties, or use it as a standalone endorsement in an unrelated advertising campaign.

If GlowOps wants to make a materially different commercial use of third-party material, we may seek separate permission or a separate licence from the relevant rights holder.

Some GlowOps material was supplied and published before this policy was introduced. This policy does not pretend to create retroactive permission where none existed. GlowOps may continue to rely on permissions previously provided and will review good-faith attribution or rights concerns relating to historic material.

If you are a photographer, creator or other rights holder and believe GlowOps is displaying your work without the permission you intended, please contact us with the relevant URL or feature, enough information to identify the work, and the credit or rights issue you would like us to review.

We will review genuine concerns in good faith and, where appropriate, correct attribution, clarify permission, replace material or remove it.

This policy forms part of the GlowOps Terms of Use for contributor-supplied material. If a separate written release, licence or collaboration agreement applies to particular material, that specific agreement takes priority to the extent of any inconsistency.
