Terms of Service

Last updated: 6 September 2026

These Terms of Service apply to websites, online galleries and digital content operated by STILTH Ltd, trading as STILTH Studios (“STILTH”, “we”, “us” or “our”).

By accessing or using a STILTH Studios gallery, website or associated service, you agree to these terms.

1. Our photography and galleries

STILTH Studios provides photography, filmmaking and related creative services, including event, sports, documentary and commercial photography.

Our online galleries may contain photographs from public or organised events, commissioned work, commercial projects and other photography undertaken by STILTH Studios.

Some galleries may provide photographs as free downloads. Other galleries may offer digital images, prints or other products for purchase.

Availability and permitted use may differ between galleries.

2. Copyright

Unless otherwise stated, copyright in photographs, films and other original content created by STILTH Studios remains with STILTH Ltd or the relevant photographer where applicable.

Purchasing or downloading an image does not transfer copyright or ownership of the underlying work.

Instead, you receive permission to use the image according to the licence associated with that gallery, download or purchase.

3. Free event photography

Where STILTH Studios makes event photographs available as free downloads, those photographs are provided for personal, non-commercial use unless we expressly state otherwise.

Personal use includes:

• saving a copy for your own use;

• sharing the photograph with friends and family;

• posting the photograph on your personal social-media accounts; and

• making a print for your own personal use.

Credit is appreciated when photographs are shared publicly. Where practical, please credit STILTH Studios or tag @stilthstudio.

A free download does not grant permission for commercial use.

4. Commercial use

Businesses, event organisers, sponsors, brands, publications and other organisations must obtain appropriate permission or a commercial licence before using STILTH Studios photographs for commercial, advertising, promotional, editorial or organisational purposes unless such use has already been agreed with us.

This includes images downloaded by an individual and subsequently supplied to or used by a business or organisation.

Commercial licences are available by contacting STILTH Studios.

5. Alteration and misuse

Images must not be sold, relicensed or represented as the work of another photographer.

Reasonable cropping or resizing for personal social-media use is permitted.

Images must not be materially altered in a way that is misleading, defamatory, unlawful or damaging to the reputation of STILTH Studios or a person depicted in the photograph.

Our photographs must not be used in connection with unlawful, defamatory, discriminatory or otherwise harmful material.

6. People appearing in event photographs

Photography and filming may take place at organised events where STILTH Studios has been invited, commissioned or authorised to provide coverage.

The inclusion of a person in an event gallery does not give another person or organisation unrestricted rights to use that individual's image.

If you appear prominently in an image and have a concern about its inclusion in a public STILTH Studios gallery, please contact us at hello@stilth.co.uk, identifying the photograph concerned. We will consider reasonable requests concerning continued publication of the image.

7. Downloads and digital files

Digital files are supplied in the resolution, format and quality specified for the relevant gallery or product.

We cannot guarantee that galleries or particular photographs will remain available indefinitely. If an image is important to you, you should download and securely store your copy while it remains available.

8. Purchases

Where products, prints or digital downloads are offered for sale, the price and relevant product information will be displayed before purchase.

Additional Terms of Sale and/or a Digital Image Licence may apply to purchases made through our online store. Where those additional terms apply, they form part of the agreement between you and STILTH Studios.

Nothing in these Terms affects any statutory rights you have as a consumer under UK law.

9. Prints and physical products

Printed photographs and other physical products may vary slightly in appearance from images viewed on a screen due to differences in printing processes, paper, materials, cropping and display calibration.

Where a product is personalised or produced specifically to a customer's requirements, cancellation rights may differ from those applying to standard products. Applicable rights and restrictions will be explained within our Terms of Sale.

10. Third-party services

Our galleries and online services may use third-party providers to provide hosting, gallery, ecommerce, payment, printing or delivery services.

Those providers may operate under their own terms and privacy policies.

11. Availability

We aim to keep our galleries and services available and accurate but cannot guarantee uninterrupted access.

We may modify, temporarily disable or permanently remove a gallery, photograph, service or feature where reasonably necessary.

12. Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful.

To the extent permitted by law, STILTH Studios will not be responsible for losses arising from unauthorised third-party copying or use of images after they have been legitimately published or shared online, or for circumstances outside our reasonable control.

13. Privacy

Personal information associated with galleries, downloads, enquiries and purchases is handled in accordance with the STILTH Studios Privacy Policy.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our services, business practices or legal requirements.

The current version will be made available through our website or online galleries and will show the date it was last updated.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

Nothing in these Terms affects any mandatory rights you may have under applicable consumer law.
