These terms apply to content and information you send to us through the submission form or by email.

By submitting Your Content to us, you agree that you have read, understood, and accepted the following terms in relation to the content and information you will send to Aperture (“Aperture”, “us”, or “our”):

1. Subject to the following provisions, Your Content may be published in any media or format and/or used for magazine purposes generally. Your Content (including your name and grade) may be put into the public domain and it could therefore become generally known and available (including on the Internet).

2. Your email address (‘Your Contact Details’) will not be published by us, nor will they be used or disclosed for any marketing purposes.

3. Your Contact Details may be used by us to contact you to verify your answers to the Submission Application and to find out more about your work (we may request you to change some of Your Content).

4. You agree that:

  • You are legally responsible for Your Content.

  • Your Content is not inappropriate and does not violate The King’s Academy’s Code of Conduct.

  • Your Content does not infringe the privacy, data protection or confidentiality rights of any third party.

  • Your Content does not plagiarize or otherwise infringe any third party copyright, moral rights or any other intellectual property rights or similar rights. For example, you must not submit to us any photos, drawings, or any writing of any type unless you are the copyright owner.

  • Your Content is not hateful (including without limitation in relation to race and religion), harassing, malicious, profane, discriminatory, obscene, explicit, offensive, prejudicial or encouraging of violence or criminal action, and is not otherwise unlawful.
    IMPORTANT: This includes foul language, even if it is only implied or switched with similar-sounding words.

  • Your Content does not amount to commercial speech or advertising.

5. You retain any copyright you may have in Your Content. By submitting Your Content to us, you grant us a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive worldwide license to use, copy, host, index, cache, tag, encode, edit, transmit, adapt, modify, publish, translate, publicly display, make available, communicate and distribute Your Content (in whole or part), and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed. By submitting Your Content, you warrant that you have the right to grant this license. The license is capable of sub-license by us to other entities and brands in our group as well as third parties.

6. We may edit, add to, remove or otherwise amend Your Content (or any part of it) in any way as we see fit in our sole discretion for Aperture purposes (for example without limitation we may edit Your Content for length and style).  We may do any of these things whether or not Your Content has been published.  We are not obligated to do any of these things and we may not.
