Newmarket Photography Club / Newmarket Camera Club Member Code of Conduct

  1. As a member of the club, I will attend such meetings that I can and while in attendance be supportive of other member's work during the photo review. I will not be negative or openly critical of another member's efforts. If I really have a strong negative opinion about the work, I shall keep my mouth shut, and if I am offended by the content, I shall speak with Ross about my concerns as he is not psychic.

  2. I will never use another member's work without their express written permission.

  3. I accept that my work is my own intellectual property. Since it's my work, I can do whatever I please with it, and no one else can use it without my permission.

  4. Submitting an image for any assignment grants the Newmarket Photography Club / Newmarket Camera Club an irrevocable right to display the image on the club's website, to select the image as the front image of a gallery and to otherwise represent your photographic genius in a manner that encourages others to join the club. Such submissions do not grant the club the right to use my image(s) for other purposes, without permission.

  5. I will not attempt to sell junk on the Marketplace without proper disclosure of its junk-state, and I will have the title to anything I choose to sell and hold the buyer harmless of any negative legal stuff.

  6. I will not encourage the use of improperly licensed software by others, nor will I share such a thing if it appeared on my doorstep with other members through the channels of the club.

  7. If I ever decide I do not wish to participate in the club any longer, I will let Ross know so he can stop sending me emails and other communications pertaining to the club, because he is not psychic.

  8. I will pay my membership dues on time and in cash because it's a good club and I'm a good person. Members who have not paid their current annual dues by the end of February of the membership year will be removed.

  9. I will not engage in conflicts on the club website, the club private Forum page, at meetings nor will I make comments in any club venue that denigrate other members.

  10. I appreciate that this Code of Conduct is a live document and is subject to change. I expect that any major changes will be provided to members in some form of notification such as email or a post.
