You do (at least as between you and Instagram—your employer may have
ownership rights in certain situations)! Instagram does not claim
ownership of any content that you post.
You do grant Instagram very broad license rights: a non-exclusive,
fully-paid and royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide license to
use content that you post. This license grant means that you have given
Instagram the right to use any of your photos for free, for any reason,
anywhere in the world. Instagram can also give those rights to a third party.
Under Instagram’s terms, you must ensure that you own the content that you
post or at least have the right to grant Instagram these rights and licenses to
the content. You are also responsible to pay any royalties, fees or money owed
for the content that you post.
If someone is infringing your copyright on Instagram, you can report copyright abuse. Instagram may remove infringing content or disable
the accounts of repeat copyright infringers. It is common practice to re-share
content of other users of Instagram, if the source of the content is
acknowledged.
Do’s:
You must be at least 13 years old to use the app. You are responsible for
any activity that occurs through your account, for your conduct and for the
content you post. You agree not to assign your account or any rights to your
account to another person.
You may deactivate your account by completing this form. Once deactivated, your content will no longer be
accessible through your account but may continue to appear if, for example, it
has been re-shared by others. If your account has been hacked, Instagram allows
you to report it.
You must comply with Instagram’s community
guidelines. In short,
Instagram explains the guidelines as follows:
Post your own photos and videos.
Keep your clothes on.
Be respectful.
Don’t spam.
Have fun!
Don’ts:
You are prohibited from creating an account for anyone other than yourself
unless you (or your business) is expressly authorised to create accounts on
behalf of your employer (or clients).
You may not post violent, nude, partially nude, discriminatory, unlawful,
infringing, hateful, pornographic or sexually suggestive photos or other
content.
You must not defame, stalk, bully, abuse, harass, threaten, impersonate or
intimidate people or entities and you must not post private or confidential
information.
Liability
Under Instagram’s terms, Instagram may modify or terminate your access at
any time and for any reason without notice and liability. Instagram is not
liable to you for any losses you may suffer through use of the app but if they
are, liability is limited to USD100,00 (if a limit to liability is lawful in
your jurisdiction).
Instagram is not liable for any interaction you may have with a third party
app and your interaction with apps connected to Instagram is at your own
discretion and risk. See our previous blog on APIs.
You (and any third party you operate an account for) agree to defend,
indemnify and hold Instagram harmless from any liabilities arising as a result
of your direct activities or those conducted on your behalf. If you are using
Instagram on behalf of another legal entity you must have the authority to
enter into the Instagram terms on their behalf.
