Terms of Use
Effective date: October 4, 2026
These terms govern your use of the SIDESEEN website, KEEP ME AROUND signup and CONVO application.
SIDESEEN is an independent editorial project exploring the culture surrounding women’s sports through photography and conversation.
Using the website
Use the website lawfully and respectfully.
Do not interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorized access, submit spam, impersonate another person or use its forms to send unlawful, abusive or infringing material.
Information you submit should be accurate to the best of your knowledge.
Editorial content and ownership
Unless otherwise stated, the website’s photographs, writing, artwork, logos and design belong to SIDESEEN or their respective creators and rights holders.
You are welcome to share links to SIDESEEN.
Reproducing, distributing, selling or commercially using website content requires permission from the relevant rights holder, except where applicable law permits the use.
Team names, trademarks and other third-party material remain the property of their respective owners. Their appearance does not imply sponsorship, endorsement or affiliation.
KEEP ME AROUND
KEEP ME AROUND shares new stories, issue announcements and invitations from SIDESEEN.
Signing up requests these emails. There is no fixed sending schedule, and you may unsubscribe at any time using the link in an email or by contacting us.
Joining KEEP ME AROUND does not submit a CONVO application or guarantee access to an event, session or publication.
CONVO eligibility and consideration
CONVO applicants must be 18 or older.
Participation is voluntary and unpaid. Unless separately agreed in writing, SIDESEEN does not reimburse travel or other participation expenses.
We aim to select 12 fans each quarter. Applications are open year-round and remain under consideration for 12 months from submission.
Submitting an application does not guarantee selection, contact, an interview, a portrait session or publication. Session schedules and arrangements may change.
You may withdraw your application by contacting SIDESEEN.
Application responses and permissions
You retain any rights you hold in the material you submit.
By applying, you permit SIDESEEN and the people helping administer CONVO to review, store and use your application for consideration and participation arrangements, as described in the Privacy Policy.
This permission does not authorize public publication of your application responses.
Submitting an application does not grant permission to photograph or record you, or to publish your name, image, voice or contribution.
If you are selected, photography, recording and publication permissions will be discussed separately. Any separate agreement will govern those editorial uses.
Only submit material you have the right to share. Do not include confidential information or private information about another person without permission.
Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle information collected through the website and its forms.
External services
The website may contain links to external websites and services. SIDESEEN does not control their content, availability or practices. Their own terms and policies apply when you use them.
Availability and accuracy
We take care in presenting SIDESEEN’s content, but the website may contain errors or become temporarily unavailable.
We may update content, correct information or change website features as the project develops.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the website is provided as available, without a guarantee that it will always operate uninterrupted or be free from errors.
Liability
To the extent permitted by law, SIDESEEN is not responsible for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of, or inability to use, the website.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited, or takes away rights you have under applicable law.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as SIDESEEN develops. Changes apply from the stated effective date. They do not replace separately agreed participation or publication permissions.
