Effective Date: 11.06.2025
1. Introduction
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") apply to the website Maora ("we", "us", "our") and any services, content, or features provided through it. By visiting or using our website, submitting a form, or collaborating with us, you agree to these Terms. Please read them carefully before using this site.
2. Our Work & Content Use
All photographs, videos, text, and creative materials published on Maora are produced and owned by us, unless explicitly credited otherwise. We retain full copyright over all visual and written content, including that which features third-party locations or brands. You may not copy, distribute, modify, resell, or use any of our content, including images of hotels or individuals, without our written permission. Sharing via direct links and proper credit is welcome, but unauthorized use of our content (including by the businesses featured in it) is strictly prohibited.
3. Collaborations & Services
Maora offers creative services including hotel photography, video production, and storytelling through our blog and social media platforms. Each collaboration or client project is governed by its own written agreement, which outlines specific deliverables, timelines, and licensing rights. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, usage rights for commissioned content do not transfer ownership, and Maora remains the author and copyright holder.
4. Community Features & Independent Editorial Content
Maora occasionally features individuals, businesses, or properties through self-initiated editorial stories. These features are published independently and do not require prior approval or editing by the subjects involved. By being featured (e.g. in a Hotel Story), you understand that the creative direction, final selection of photos, and text are the editorial decision of Maora. If you submit information via our forms, we may contact you but are not obliged to publish any submitted material.
5. Privacy & Data Use
Any personal data you share through our website including names, emails, social media links, or messages is kept private and used only to respond to your inquiry or collaborate with you. We do not sell or share your data with third parties. For more information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
6. Third-Party Links
Our website or blog may occasionally link to third-party websites (e.g. hotels, creatives, locations). We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices and recommend reviewing their terms separately.
7. Website Use & Access
You may not use this site for unlawful purposes, attempt to hack or disrupt functionality, or access parts of the site you are not authorized to view. We reserve the right to restrict access or block usage in the event of misuse.
8. Liability
All content on Maora is created with care, based on personal experience, artistic interpretation, and independent research. While we aim to provide accurate and inspiring material, we do not guarantee that all information (such as hotel details, services, or availability) is fully up to date. Maora is not responsible for any loss, misunderstanding, or issue that may arise from someone relying on the content we publish, including hotel bookings, third-party experiences, or external links. Use of this website and the information provided is at your own discretion.
9. Modifications
We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in services, creative direction, or legal requirements. When changes occur, we’ll update the effective date above. Your continued use of the website means you accept the new version.
