Tried to elaborate on the site features. Storage capacity BTW is unlimited. Wocis (talk) 07:43, 29 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

can a snapfish member elaborate on what the site offers? uploads per month, storage capacity, site services, printing.....--Shaggorama (talk) 12:52, 6 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

A notable feature of snapfish is that you are required you to open an account in order to view photos, unlike most other photo storage sites. Therefore, an invitation from a user to view their photos on snapfish, is in effect an invitation to join the site. I think this is worth mentioning. Centrepull (talk) 10:47, 23 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

On second thought, the whole article reads like a poorly-written press release. I'll remove the management list and the other puffery such as the awards list and big-numberism - they are largely meaningless, and there are no citations for them anyway.

snapfish relation to clarkcolor.com and yorkphoto.com

edit

All three sites have the exact same design and layout. All use snapfish DNS servers. The site images are all hosted from a snapfish.com subdomain. The other two sites have districtphoto.com as the administrative contact. I suspect that district photo is the owner of Clark Color Labs and York Photos, and the fufillment partner of HP. District photo was the owner of the Snapfish service prior to HP, according to http://www.districtphoto.com/about_history.html. 76.6.160.198 (talk) 15:39, 1 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Terms of Use

edit

I'm coming from a terms of use discussion on the Picasa page. It would be useful to mention Snapfish's terms of use conditions in this article, specifically with respect to ownership of uploaded images, and Snapfish's rights to alter them, display them, resell them and transfer them to other organisations without consultation or payment of royalties.

As at September 26th 2014 UCT, their Terms and Conditions include the following:

"A condition of Membership is your "Active Participation" in the Service. Active Participation is defined as purchasing photo or video merchandise, including reprints and enlargements, through the Service at least once every 365 days. Purchases through Snapfish third-party advertisers, including HP Home & Home Office Store, do not count towards Active Participation. If you cease Active Participation for any reason, Snapfish may terminate your Membership (or any part thereof) and your use of the Service, and may remove and discard all information, communications, postings, albums, image files, creative material, photographs, videos, links, comments, and other content (collectively "Content") uploaded by you or otherwise made available by you within the Service." From http://www.snapfish.com/snapfish/termsAndConditions

So the first para (at least) of the Wikipedia entry needs to be altered to make it clear that it is not a totally free service. The "free" aspects are only available if the user also uses Snapfish's paid-for services.

I don't currently have time or head-space to create a suitable new first para (and might not be the best person to do it), but will watch this page and also revisit when I have a bit more time.
