Terms of Service

One document covering use of the Fast Media platform — from browsing to licensing. The table below shows which sections matter most for how you use it.

Draft — under legal review. These terms consolidate and replace the previous Terms of Service and Website Terms. Effective date will be set at publication.

A. General use & acceptance

By accessing or using fastmediahouse.com (the "Platform") or downloading any content, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform. You must be at least 16 years old to use the Platform. These terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands.

We may update these terms, and we may change, suspend or discontinue parts of the Platform. Material changes will be announced on this page with a revised effective date; continued use after changes means acceptance.

B. Accounts, organisations & conduct

1. Accounts are organisation-based: a solo user is a one-person organisation. The organisation holds the plan, credit balance and licences; members act within the roles assigned to them.

2. You are responsible for your account credentials and for activity under your account. Do not share passwords or circumvent access restrictions. Organisation admins are responsible for managing their members and removing access that is no longer appropriate.

3. Account information you provide must be accurate, and billing details current.

4. Conduct: you may not use the Platform to harass, impersonate, spam or distribute unlawful or hateful material, and you may not interfere with other users' use of the Platform. We may warn, suspend or terminate accounts that breach these terms.

C. Your content & uploads

1. Content you upload to your own library remains yours and remains private. Fast Media does not license, sell or repurpose your uploads, and does not use your content to train AI models without your explicit consent.

2. You must hold the rights to anything you upload. No unlawful, unlicensed or offensive uploads are allowed.

3. A future opt-in marketplace may allow members to submit content for licensing; participation will always require your explicit, separate consent under its own terms.

D. Licensing & purchases

1. Licences are granted per image, per purchase, for the usage scope selected at checkout, and are documented by a licence record and certificate in your account. The detailed usage rights are set out in the License Terms, which form part of these terms.

2. Editorial content may not be used commercially. Where attribution is stated, it is required.

3. You may not resell, redistribute or republish licensed content, mint it as NFTs, or use it to train machine-learning models, unless such rights are explicitly granted in writing. Extended rights for specific scenarios are available under defined terms.

4. Images are paid with credits (1 credit = €0.50) or directly by card; payments are processed by Stripe. AI tools draw on the same credit balance — there is no separate AI allowance. Credits included with a plan are valid for twelve months from the month in which they are granted, each month’s credits carrying their own expiry; credits you purchase are valid for two years from purchase; credits are consumed oldest-first. Introductory or promotional credits may carry a shorter validity, which is stated when they are granted. Prices shown at checkout are decisive.

5. Refunds are possible within 14 days if the licensed file is unusable and has not been used in a publication. Contact us with the licence reference.

E. Your library & storage

1. Storage and team features are provided per your plan. You manage your own team, folders and uploads.

2. Exports and deletion of your own content are your responsibility; on account termination we will, on request, provide a reasonable window to export your content.

F. Studio rental

F1. What these terms cover. Fast Media lets a 60 m² event space at Tussen de Bogen 29, Amsterdam. Booking it creates a separate contract for the use of physical premises, governed by this section, by the house rules in force at the time of booking, and by sections A, B, G, H and I. It is not a licence to content and nothing in section D applies to it.

F2. Registration and identity verification. We verify every renter before a first booking: you give us your name, address and phone number, and complete an identity check carried out by Stripe Identity. We may refuse or withdraw a registration at our discretion. We do not receive or store your identity document — see the Privacy Policy.

F3. Booking and payment. Bookable times are only those we have opened. A booking is confirmed when payment completes; until then the slot is held briefly and then released. Rates are shown ex VAT and charged with Dutch VAT at the applicable rate. Because a room hire is a service connected with immovable property, Dutch VAT applies to every renter regardless of where they are established, and an EU VAT number does not make the supply reverse-chargeable.

F4. Cancellation. You may cancel free of charge up to the notice period stated on the booking page and in your booking confirmation, and we refund in full to your original payment method. Inside that period the fee is not refundable, though you are welcome to ask. We may cancel a booking and refund it in full if the space becomes unavailable.

F5. Use of the space. The space is available for sports and fitness activities, standing receptions and celebrations. It is not available for parties. You are responsible for everyone you bring, for keeping to the agreed hours and guest limit, and for leaving the space as you found it. We may end a booking in progress if the house rules are being broken.

F6. Damage, liability and insurance. You are liable for loss or damage to the premises, fittings and equipment caused by you or your guests, beyond fair wear and tear. You take part in any physical activity at your own risk, and you are responsible for insuring your own activity, equipment and participants. Nothing in this section or in section H limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud — and the liability limits in section H, which are written for the platform and its content, do not extend to personal injury on the premises.

F7. Furniture and extras. A few seats are included. Furniture hire for seated events is arranged separately, quoted separately and not covered by the booking fee.

G. Prohibited uses

You may not:

  • remove, alter or obscure any copyright information or notices;
  • download, copy or re-transmit content outside a valid licence or without written permission;
  • use data mining, robots or scraping technologies on the Platform;
  • reverse engineer the Platform, circumvent access restrictions or share credentials;
  • use comping/preview files in published material — previews are for mockups only.

H. Disclaimers, liability & indemnity

The Platform and its content are provided "as is", without warranties. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access or error-free functionality. To the extent permitted by law, Fast Media BV is not liable for damages arising from use of the Platform or its content, including content uploaded by users. You agree to indemnify and hold Fast Media BV harmless from claims arising from your use of the Platform or breach of these terms.

I. Copyright, takedowns & jurisdiction

1. We respect intellectual property and comply with EU copyright law and the Digital Services Act. Rights holders can submit takedown requests to the contact below; repeat infringers will be banned.

2. AI-generated content must be used appropriately and in accordance with applicable law and the generating model's content policies.

3. Disputes arising from these terms are governed by Dutch law and will be brought before the competent courts of Amsterdam.
