How can I delete the photos that I have published or awarded?

I do not find it logical that you have to contact me by email to make the decision to remove my 1x photos whenever you want.

And above all, do they really remove the photos??? or when uploading the photos and although we do not put them for sale, 

1x owns some rights to each image????

I would like this to be explained clearly so that I can understand it correctly and not have surprises from lawsuits 
for image rights of some of the models or places that appear in the photos.

Thanks.

Miguel,

If you click your name at the top right of the page and then scroll down to 'Membership Agreement', there's information in Section 8 - 1X's Handling of Your Images. 

. . . . Steven

8. 1x's Handling of Your Images

8.1 Once Your Images have been published in the Gallery, it is not possible to delete them unless you delete Your Account. Your Images posted to social network sites, blogs, image sites, magazine sites, news sites or included in 1x's blog, magazine, image tutorials or contests will not be deleted even if Your Account is deleted. If there are special circumstances for deleting one or more of Your Images published in the Gallery, for example copyright issues or personal integrity issues, contact [email protected] and state your reasons for deletion. 1x decides exclusively and in its sole discretion if Your Images will be deleted or not in such a case. A copy of all Your Images sent to the curators will be saved as a history of your uploads for the curators and are not possible to delete unless you end your membership. Your Images not sent to the curators or which are not published in the Gallery can be deleted by You at any time.

Thank you Steven.

Well, yes it is clear.
Any image that you upload to 1x and is published, directly becomes property in terms of the rights of 1x.

And on top of giving away the work of each of the photographers to 1x, you have to pay an annual membership for it.....

What a great idea. 

It's like going to work and paying for it...

I don't see any of your photos is for sale, so I don't understand your concern, Miguel. To avoid having photos shown that shouldn't be in your portfolio, think about putting them up for curation in advance. As Steven said, you can have them removed. 

Hi Mike.
It's not just a matter of legal concern...

Is that everyone who uploads a photo and is published (without putting it up for sale) transfers the rights forever to 1x.

I don't think that's acceptable, because if you read the conditions they say they don't have to delete them 
even if you delete your account if they don't want to.

Do you think it's OK??? Is it something important for people to know? You think it is fair???

My photos are worth nothing, but I don't like to feel that unfair things are being done and that someone profits from it.

Miguel,

It’s totally not clear to me what rights you consider transferred to 1x.

You posted them to be displayed, when curated and they are shown.

They are not sold to anybody, so again, what’s your concern?

Mike

What do you think is the reason, so you can not delete your image when you want Mike??? 

Because it is clear that things are never by chance or are not done without thinking.

The membership agreement should say that any image published by 1x in some medium outside of 1x already published before will not be deleted, 
even if you want to do it, it would be logical ......But it doesn't say that. 

It says that even having deleted your account, 1x keeps the image to be able to publish it, on photo sites, magazine sites, information sites, etc...

I upload my photos because I want and I want to be able to remove them whenever I want, it seems normal to me. Not to you?? 

Do you think it is a right with sufficient foundation?

When you show something of yours, that's why I have the right to show it to me whenever I want??? or it will be the choice of the owner.

If you invite me to your house one day, I can go whenever I want????
If you make a comment and over time it no longer fits what you thought, or you changed your mind, do you think it's okay to be able to delete it, or not?

In all this there is an intention (probably economic) and personally I don't like it, but like everything in life, 
everything is subjective for those who look at it.

Perhaps your look has some kind of condition in favor of 1x for belonging to it??? I don't know, only you know.

Maybe the explanation is another and I am not able to see it and that is why I would like someone who knows it for sure, could explain it.

Hi Miguel,

It seems you have totally misunderstood our agreement. First of all 1x does not claim copyright or ownership of any of your images, only a license to display them in certain circumstances and also sell them if you choose to. Secondly, just write to support if you want images removed. It's sometimes not possible for us to remove images which for example have been published in a magazine article on another site, but this is extremely rare. When you delete your account your images on 1x are removed. There is no reason for concern.

Good light, Ralf

Cual crees que es el motivo, para que no puedas borrar tu imagen cuando quieres Mike??? 

Porque está claro que las cosas nunca son casuales ni se hacen sin pensar. 

El acuerdo de membresía debería decir que cualquier imagen publicada por 1x en algún medio fuera de 1x ya publicada antes no será eliminada, 
incluso si quieres hacerlo, sería lógico ...... Pero no dice eso . 

Dice que aun habiendo borrado tu cuenta, 1x se queda con la imagen para poder publicarla, en sitios de fotos, sitios de revistas, sitios de información, etc... 

Subo mis fotos porque quiero y quiero poder eliminarlas cuando quiero, me parece normal. ¿¿A ti no?? 

¿Crees que es un derecho con fundamento suficiente?

Cuando muestras algo tuyo, por eso tengo derecho a mostrármelo cuando yo quiera??? o será a elección del propietario. 

Si me invitas a tu casa un día, puedo ir cuando quiera???? 
Si haces un comentario y con el tiempo ya no se ajusta a lo que pensabas, o cambiaste de opinión, ¿crees que está bien poder borrarlo, o no? 

En todo esto hay una intención (probablemente económica) y personalmente no me gusta, pero como todo en la vida, 
todo es subjetivo para quien lo mira. 

Acaso tu mirada tiene algún tipo de condición a favor de 1x por pertenecer a ella??? No lo sé, solo tú lo sabes.

A lo mejor la explicación es otra y no soy capaz de verla y por eso me gustaría que alguien que la sepa con certeza me la explique.

Hi Ralph.
So if there is nothing behind this. 
What is the reason for not having a button that deletes the image as soon as its owner wishes??? 

The same happens with the unpublished?

Why have to write an email and make it more complex???

Why does the conditional say verbatim that the images will not be deleted if 1x does not want it??? Even if you tell me yes.

It is not very understandable from my point of view and in your explanation you have not given me too much information, I just don't worry... 

It is not a matter of concern but of information.

So somehow by posting a photo I give a license to 1x to be able to use the photo in some circumstances????
Magazine sites, websites, information sites, photo sites??? 

Ambiguous right???

Thanks

Hi Miguel,

There are very good reasons for not deleting photos without careful thought. We consider 1x to be an arts gallery. When you go to an arts exhibtion you expect to see all the art in the exhibtion, you don't want holes were the artworks have been removed / deleted. The member curators and head curators have put a lot of work into curating the photos, many members have commented them and added them to favorites and all this work is lost when a photo is deleted without consideration.

Hi Ralf.

Are you trying to tell me that if someone exhibits in an art gallery one day, they have to leave their work there forever???? 
or at least one copy for the gallery to exhibit whenever it wants or can have it for certain matters??? Is that??

Since many people saw it and someone hung it and now it can't leave holes in the wall???

That's how it would be, if I bought it or paid for copyright.
I know that you are not going to tell me the real reasons that lead you to this,
but at least do not manipulate the words with demagoguery, because I think it does not help transparency.

It's easier to say that these are your rules and whoever follows them and whoever doesn't should leave here.

Rereading the new agreement that you implemented 2 months ago, it seemed to me that I was reading this among a lot of conditions that no one would read.....

Is that correct???

I have understood correctly that any photo published here, the rights of use for any purpose are property of 1x for the simple reason of publishing them???  And that you can assign those rights to whoever you think is convenient???  And who is released from all responsibility for it?  Is that so?

 That even if they are not for sale, you can sell them digitally, but without paying the author???

 That if you put them up for sale, they pay you 12% of the proceeds minus taxes, costs... ...... ..etc....

 That you can't remove a photo from your portfolios without deleting the account if you don't get 1x written permission???

 That even deleting the account the rights are still 1x after 6 months????

Hi Miguel,

I have politely explained to you our reasons for having this policy. It's based on artistic considerations. We are making many other artistic considerations on 1x like not using ads for example and hiding menus when navigating the site to make it more like a real gallery experience. If you say that I'm lying when I'm explaining our actual thougts behinds this decision, there is no point to discuss anymore. Thanks for your feedback.
