Terms of Service

Last updated: June 2026

1. Who these terms apply to

These Terms of Service govern use of the LSCA website and platform operated by Stichting LSCA, a non-profit foundation registered in the Netherlands. By using LSCA as a creative or a client, you agree to these terms.

2. For creatives

Eligibility. You must be a current student or recent graduate of a Dutch educational institution to join the LSCA creative network.

Consent and identifiable people. You are solely responsible for obtaining all necessary consent before photographing or filming identifiable individuals. Where model releases are required, you must obtain them before delivery. LSCA cannot accept deliverables for which consent has not been properly obtained.

Copyright. You retain copyright of your work unless an explicit All Rights Reserved transfer is agreed in writing as part of the project brief. By delivering work through LSCA, you grant the client the license agreed in the project scope.

Quality and delivery. You agree to deliver work that meets the brief agreed before the project starts, within the timeline agreed, and to the technical standard appropriate for the deliverable type.

Prohibited content. You may not submit, upload, or deliver through LSCA any content that:

  • Contains nudity or sexually explicit material
  • Depicts or incites violence, hatred, or discrimination
  • Infringes third-party intellectual property rights
  • Was captured without the subject's knowledge in a context where they had a reasonable expectation of privacy
  • Is otherwise unlawful under Dutch or EU law

AI training. You may not use deliverables uploaded to or processed through LSCA to train, fine-tune, or evaluate artificial intelligence or machine learning models.

3. For clients

Scope of use. Files delivered to you are licensed for the specific use agreed in your project brief. The applicable license type is stated in your delivery confirmation. See our License Guide for what each license permits.

No resale or sublicensing. You may not resell, sublicense, or transfer delivered files to third parties for a profit unless this has been explicitly agreed in writing as part of your project.

Payment. Project fees are agreed and invoiced before or at project completion. Payment terms are 14 days from invoice date unless otherwise agreed.

Feedback and revisions. The number of revision rounds included in a project is agreed in the brief. Changes requested after delivery that are outside the original scope may incur additional charges.

Prohibited uses. You may not use delivered files in contexts that are defamatory, discriminatory, or that would harm the reputation of the creative who produced them. You may not use files to train AI or ML models.

4. Platform availability

LSCA operates on a best-effort basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability of the platform or portal. Scheduled maintenance will be communicated in advance where possible. LSCA is not liable for losses arising from temporary unavailability.

5. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by Dutch law, LSCA's liability for any claim arising from use of the platform is limited to the amount paid by the relevant party for the specific project giving rise to the claim. LSCA is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential losses.

6. Governing law

These Terms of Service are governed by Dutch law. Any disputes arising from or related to these terms shall be submitted to the competent court in the Netherlands, subject to mandatory consumer protection provisions where applicable.

7. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated to registered platform users and noted at the top of this page with an updated date. Continued use of the platform after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
