2. What These Terms Apply To
These Terms apply to material submitted to Visit Bewdley through a submission form, email or another submission method made available by me.

Submitting material does not guarantee that it will be published.
Visit Bewdley is independently owned and edited and I retain editorial discretion over what appears on the Website.
I may accept, refuse, edit, categorise, postpone, suspend or remove submitted material at my discretion.
I may take into account editorial, operational, reputational, community, commercial or other considerations that I believe are relevant to Visit Bewdley.
The fact that I accept or publish one business, organisation, event or submission does not require me to accept or publish another.
Unless I choose otherwise, editorial decisions are final and I am not required to provide reasons or operate an appeals process.
4. Accuracy of Information
You must take reasonable care to ensure that information you submit is accurate and not misleading at the time it is submitted.
This includes, where relevant:
- names and trading names;
- addresses and locations;
- telephone numbers and email addresses;
- website and booking links;
- opening hours;
- event dates and times;
- prices and admission information;
- accessibility information; and
- booking, cancellation or attendance requirements.
If information changes after submission, particularly information relating to an upcoming event, you should notify me as soon as reasonably possible.
I may check or correct submitted information, but doing so does not mean that I accept responsibility for the underlying accuracy of information supplied by you.
5. Your Authority to Make a Submission
You must not knowingly submit false, fraudulent or misleading information or deliberately impersonate another person, business or organisation.
If you state or imply that you are submitting information on behalf of a business, organisation, venue, event organiser or another person, you confirm that you have appropriate authority to do so.
You may also submit genuinely useful information about a local business, organisation, place or event without formally representing that organisation, provided that the information is submitted in good faith and you do not falsely claim to act on its behalf.
6. Your Rights to Submitted Material
You must only submit photographs, logos, graphics, written material or other content that you own, are authorised to provide, or otherwise have permission to submit for the purposes described in these Terms.
By making a submission, you confirm that you have the rights or permissions reasonably required to allow Visit Bewdley to use the submitted material in accordance with these Terms.
You must not knowingly submit material where its publication by Visit Bewdley would infringe another person’s copyright, trade mark rights or other intellectual property rights.
7. Permission to Use Submitted Material
You retain ownership of any copyright or other intellectual property rights that you hold in material you submit.
By submitting material to Visit Bewdley, you grant Paul James trading as Paul James Digital a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, publish, display and store that material for the purposes of operating, maintaining, presenting and promoting Visit Bewdley and the relevant listing, event or Website content.
This licence includes permission to make reasonable technical and editorial adjustments such as resizing, cropping, compressing, formatting or adapting material so that it works properly within the Website and its associated promotional channels.
The licence is non-exclusive, which means that you remain free to use the material yourself or allow other people to use it.
Submitting material does not transfer ownership of that material to me.
8. Editing Written Content
I may edit or rewrite submitted text before or after publication.
This may include changes to:
- spelling and grammar;
- punctuation;
- formatting and presentation;
- length;
- categorisation;
- clarity and readability;
- repetitive or excessive promotional language; and
- consistency with the editorial style of Visit Bewdley.
I may summarise or rewrite information rather than publishing a submission word for word.
Where I consider that a proposed change could materially alter an important fact or the meaning of a submission, I may seek clarification before publication.
9. Photographs and Images
If you submit a photograph or other image, you confirm that you are entitled to provide it for publication in accordance with these Terms.
I may resize, crop, compress or otherwise make reasonable technical adjustments to an image for presentation on Visit Bewdley.
I may refuse or remove an image if I have concerns about its ownership, permissions, accuracy, suitability, quality, privacy implications or legal status.
10. Logos and Branding
If you submit a business, organisation or event logo, you confirm that you are entitled to provide that logo for use in connection with the relevant listing, event or content.
Any trade marks, logos or brand rights remain owned by their respective owners.
Publication of a logo on Visit Bewdley does not transfer ownership of that logo to me and does not imply any wider endorsement, partnership or affiliation unless expressly stated.
11. People Appearing in Images
If submitted material contains identifiable people, you should ensure that you are entitled to provide the material for publication.
You should take particular care with images involving children, private events, private premises or circumstances in which a person may reasonably expect privacy.
I may refuse, restrict or remove material where I have concerns about privacy, consent, safeguarding or the suitability of an image.

- is spam or unrelated advertising; or
- is otherwise unsuitable for the purpose, audience or character of Visit Bewdley.
13. Removal and Corrections
I may update, restrict or remove submitted material where I consider this appropriate.
This may include circumstances where:
- information becomes inaccurate or out of date;

I may temporarily restrict or remove disputed material while I consider a complaint.
15. Publication and Availability
I do not guarantee that submitted material will be reviewed or published within a particular period of time.
I also do not guarantee that material which is published will remain available indefinitely.
I may change the Website’s design, structure, categories, functionality or editorial approach, which may affect how or where submitted material appears.
16. Free Submissions and Commercial Services
Submitting an ordinary listing, event or other content does not, by itself, create a commercial relationship between you and Visit Bewdley.
Visit Bewdley may separately offer paid advertising, sponsorship, featured listings, enhanced listings or other promotional services.
Paid promotional services may be subject to separate prices, conditions and commercial terms.
Purchasing or enquiring about a paid promotional service does not alter these Content Submission Terms unless expressly agreed otherwise.

You should not include private personal information within material intended for public display unless it is appropriate to do so and you are entitled to provide that information for publication.

Your general use of the Website is also subject to the Visit Bewdley Terms of Service.
If there is an inconsistency between these Content Submission Terms and the Terms of Service concerning a submission, these Content Submission Terms will apply to that submission to the extent of the inconsistency.
19. Changes to These Terms
