Copyright and Takedown Policy

Last updated 13 November 2026

Draft for legal review — pending final business and legal verification. This text has not yet been approved by a lawyer. Fields marked [TO VERIFY:] must be completed before launch.

Version 2 · Effective date: [TO VERIFY: date of approval]

1. Our Content

The photographs and videos on this website are protected by copyright. Each item is offered for licensing only after its ownership and any required releases have been verified; items still being verified are shown as previews or demonstrations and cannot be licensed. Only a paid licence gives a right to use an item.

2. If you believe something here infringes your rights

For example: you own a work shown in an image, you appear in it and did not agree, or it shows a private place without permission. Email contact@laoculturemedia.com with the subject “Takedown request” and include:

  • your name and contact details;
  • the item code (for example LCM-P-000123) or the page link;
  • which right is affected and why;
  • for copyright: the original work you own;
  • a statement that the information is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorised to act for them.

3. What we do

We reply within 3 working days. While we review a credible request we may hide the item from sale. If the request is justified, we remove the item, stop new licences and, where needed, contact existing licensees. We may ask for more information and may reject incomplete or abusive requests. If your own content was removed and you disagree, send a counter-notice to the same address with your reasons. [TO VERIFY: formal notice and counter-notice procedure for buyers in the United States and European Union]

4. People and communities

We respect the people, monks and communities of Laos. If you appear in our Content and are uncomfortable with it, please write to us even if you have no legal claim; we will consider limiting its use or removing it.

5. Use of our Content without a licence

To report unlicensed use, email us the links. You can check whether a licence is genuine at /verify/.
