There are 2 easy ways to upload your photos for possible selection to the gallery:

  • Tag or mention @porcelanosa on Instagram or Twitter. Remember your profile must be set to public in order for us to view your photo.
  • Directly to our gallery. Depending on your country of residence, go to the applicable gallery URL above, click 'Upload Photo', and follow the steps to submit your photo. You can upload an existing photo from your desktop or mobile device.

If your photo is selected for our gallery via social media, you will receive an Instagram comment or tweet from @porcelanosa. Please reply with #YesPorcelanosa to give your permission, and agree to our Terms and Conditions.  Porcelanosa’s privacy policies can be found here.  

Due to the large number of submissions via social media, you will only be contacted if your photo has been selected to appear in the gallery. If you choose to upload your photo directly via the Porcelanosa website, you will have given your consent and will not be contacted if selected.

HOW WILL MY PHOTOS AND ANY OTHER DETAILS SUBMITTED BY ME BE USED?

By uploading your photo you acknowledge that it may be selected for display in the gallery on the Websites, Porcelanosa will select photos at its absolute discretion.  For the avoidance of doubt, Porcelanosa is under no obligation to use any photos submitted.

By uploading your photo you retain your rights in that photo.  By submitting a photo you hereby grant to Porcelanosa a perpetual irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, assignable, sublicensable licence to use, edit, alter, reproduce, translate, publish and/or distribute the photos and/or incorporate it in other works on the Porcelanosa Websites or in other products or services available through the Websites (the Websites and the products and services collectively referred to as the “Services”) using any and all media or distribution methods (now known or later developed).  You understand that this licence means your photo may be made available by Porcelanosa worldwide on the Services and that other users of the Services (individuals and companies) can also share and make your photos available on social media platforms or other services.  More, particularly a user can share a photo directly from the gallery on Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp.  If you do not want to grant the permissions set out above then please do not submit or share your photos.

By submitting your photos you warrant and represent that you have the right to grant the licence described above.  In particular, you promise that you have obtained the permission of all the people featured in the photo (and, if they are under 18 their parents and guardians as well) to allow Porcelanosa and other users of the Services to use the photos.  To the extent permitted by law, you also agree to waive your moral rights in relation to any photos submitted.

WHITELISTING

You may be whitelisted so that you do not need to manually give Porcelanosa rights approval to each image (via the use of #YesPorcelanosa as explained above). If you want to be included in our whitelist, please fill in the form you will find in the following link: http://cloud.mkt.porcelanosa.com/ugc-whitelist. This way, all images in which you mention us or tag us afterwards will be automatically rights approved. 

WHAT HAPPENS IF I HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT A PHOTO OR WANT MY PHOTO REMOVED?
