Some uses of copyrighted material may be permitted by law without the rights holder's permission. We will consider relevant information when assessing complaints and do not assume that every use of copyrighted material is automatically unlawful.

By uploading an image, you confirm that you have the rights necessary to upload and share it through picvault.online.

Nothing in this Policy transfers ownership of your content to picvault.online.

6. How Reports Are Handled

When we receive a report, we may:

• Review the image and the information submitted.
• Request additional information if necessary.
• Restrict access to an image while we assess a credible complaint.
• Remove or disable access to content where appropriate or legally required.
• Contact the uploader where appropriate and legally permissible.
• Take further action where necessary to enforce our policies or comply with applicable law.

We aim to assess reports within a reasonable period. Response times may vary depending on the nature and complexity of the report.

Submitting a report does not guarantee that an image will be removed. We may request further information where a complaint is incomplete or unclear.

You can report content that you believe is illegal, harmful or otherwise prohibited by emailing sliceoakagency@gmail.com.

Include the exact image URL, describe the issue and explain why you believe the content violates this Policy or applicable law.

We will assess reports and take appropriate action where warranted.

We will review the request and take appropriate action where required or appropriate.

Removing an image from picvault.online does not guarantee that copies held by other people, search engines, caches or third-party services will also be removed.

We take repeated or serious violations of this Policy seriously.

Where appropriate, we may remove content, restrict access to the service or take other reasonable action against users who repeatedly infringe intellectual property rights, upload prohibited content or abuse the reporting process.
