Contributions Standard Terms and Conditions

CRITICAL
DATED 2025-07-29 · VERSION 20260811_rev01 · FIRST CAPTURED VERSION

What changed, in plain language

How reviews are made

The earlier snapshot of this page held no text, so this update is the first full capture of Daily Mail's Contributions Terms — the document itself still says "Updated: 11:36 EDT, 29 July 2025", so the wording likely did not change; the whole text simply appears as new. These terms cover anyone who sends photos, videos or written material to the Daily Mail and its sister titles. They are heavily one-sided: you hand over a permanent, worldwide, free licence to use, edit, sell on and syndicate your content across every Daily Mail brand and future platform, you give up your moral rights (like being named as author), and your content stays online forever even after the deal ends. Your legal exposure is unlimited — you must cover the Mail's losses and legal bills if anything goes wrong — while the Mail's liability to you is capped at whatever it paid you in the last six months. Disputes go to the courts of England only, and the Mail can hand your identity to anyone who complains about your content.

Changes that may affect you

They can reveal your identity to anyone who complainsSERIOUS
DATA SHARING

If someone claims your submission breaches their copyright or privacy, the Mail can tell them who you are. That could expose you to being contacted or sued directly, with no notice promised to you first.

“ANL has the right to disclose the Supplier's identity to any third party who claims that any Content the Supplier has granted ANL a licence to use under these Terms and Conditions violates their intellectual property rights or of their right to privacy”

What you can do — Do not submit content involving anyone who has not clearly agreed to it, and keep written proof of any permissions you obtained.

Forever licence to use, edit and sell your content worldwideCRITICAL
CONTENT LICENSE

Once you send in a photo or video, the Daily Mail group can use it, change it, broadcast it and make money from it anywhere in the world, in any format, for good. The licence is permanent, survives the end of the agreement, and can be passed on to readers and other companies. There is no clause letting you take it back.

“the Supplier hereby grants to ANL and each of its Affiliates a non-exclusive (unless otherwise agreed), royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual licence to:”

What you can do — Only submit material you are happy to lose control of permanently. If you want limits (one-time use, no syndication, a set fee), negotiate them in writing with editorial@dailymail.co.uk before you send anything.

You give up your right to be credited as the creatorSERIOUS
CONTENT LICENSE

You waive your moral rights, so you cannot insist on being named as the author or object to how your work is edited or framed. The Mail only tries its best to credit you, and failing to credit you is expressly not a breach.

“Any inadvertent failure by ANL to accord the credit shall not constitute a breach of these Terms and Conditions by ANL”

What you can do — Ask for a written credit commitment before submitting if your byline matters to you.

Your content and personal details can be passed to third partiesSERIOUS
DATA SHARING

Your material can be stored in databases that outside parties can access, syndicated to press-cutting and database companies, and passed on again by them. Personal information you provide can also be used for advertising and marketing.

“store the Content in ANL's or any of ANL's Affiliates' electronic databases, which may be accessible by third parties for audit and research purposes”

What you can do — Strip personal details (location data, other people's information) from files before sending, and read the privacy policy at dailymail.co.uk/privacy.

Deletion may be impossible, even after you walk awaySERIOUS
DATA RETENTION

The terms warn up front that once something is published they may be unable to delete it or stop it being used, and that a data request can be refused if they think their reasons outweigh yours. Ending the agreement does not force them to remove anything.

“once published, ANL may not be able to delete or prevent the continued use of the Content (or any personal information contained within it) or Likeness; and”

What you can do — Assume anything you send is permanent and public; decide before you submit, not after.

Unlimited financial exposure for you, capped payout from themCRITICAL
LIABILITY LIMITS

If you break any of the promises about your content — for example if a person in the photo had not really agreed, or the shot turns out to breach someone's copyright — you must cover all of the Mail's losses, lost profits and legal bills with no upper limit. What they can ever owe you is capped at the fees they paid you in the previous six months, and they exclude nearly all other liability.

“The Supplier shall indemnify and hold harmless and keep ANL (and each of its employees, directors and agents) fully and effectively indemnified from and against any and all losses, demands, claims, damages, costs, expenses”

What you can do — Before submitting, get written releases from everyone identifiable in the content and keep them; a single contested photo could cost you far more than the fee.

Heavy promises about content you may not be able to guaranteeMATERIAL
USER OBLIGATIONS

You must promise you hold all the rights, have every person's permission, that the material breaks no law or press code in any country where it is published, and that it follows the rules of any social platform you posted it on. Breaking any of these triggers the unlimited indemnity above.

“it has sufficient rights in the Content to grant to ANL the right to use and disseminate such Content in accordance with the terms of these Terms and Conditions;”

What you can do — Never submit material you did not create yourself or screenshots of other people's posts.

You have to police your own paymentsMATERIAL
BILLING & RENEWAL

The Mail bills itself on your behalf and pays within 45 days of use. If it uses your work and never pays, it is your job to find the article, collect links or page scans, and email the right department — otherwise you may never be paid. No fee amounts are set out in the document itself.

“If the Supplier believes ANL has used Content that is not reflected in an Invoice, or for which payment was not made within forty-five (45) days after the use, the Supplier will promptly notify ANL:”

What you can do — Set a reminder to search the Mail titles for your material, and report any unpaid use to contributions@dailymail.co.uk (digital) or accountspayable@dmgmedia.co.uk (print) with links or scans.

Exposure counts as your paymentMATERIAL
OTHER

Clause 1.1 says the chance to have your content featured in the Mail's marketing is enough payment for everything you give up. A separate section does provide for fees, but this wording could be used to argue you were paid in publicity alone.

“In consideration of the opportunity to have the Content featured in ANL's marketing (which the Supplier acknowledges to be sufficient consideration for the rights the Supplier grants and obligations the Supplier assumes under this agreement)”

What you can do — Agree a fee in writing before you send anything, and keep that email.

Any dispute has to go to court in EnglandMATERIAL
JURISDICTION

English law applies and English courts have exclusive say. If you live outside the UK, taking action would mean litigating abroad, which is slow and expensive. Australian suppliers get a non-exclusive version, so they keep a bit more freedom.

“The parties irrevocably agree that the courts of England have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim that arises out of or in connection with these Terms and Conditions or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims).”
No guarantee your work gets published or stays upMINOR
TERMINATION

The Mail does not have to publish or keep your content and can pull it at any time, including whenever it decides the material might create legal risk for them. You still gave the permanent licence either way.

“if ANL believes that any Content may create liability for ANL, ANL may remove such Content from the Licensed Media as ANL believes, in its sole discretion, is prudent or necessary to minimise or eliminate ANL's potential liability”

Changelog

  1. + ADDEDFull terms now captured (previous snapshot was blank)

    The prior version we had on file contained no text, so every clause below shows up as "new". The page's own date stamp still reads 29 July 2025, so this is most likely a capture gap rather than a rewrite of the terms.

    Published: 11:30 EDT, 22 December 2016 | Updated: 11:36 EDT, 29 July 2025

  2. + ADDEDPermanent, worldwide, free licence over anything you send in

  3. + ADDEDThey can pass your content on to others

    The Mail can sub-license your content to readers, store it in databases that outside parties can search, and syndicate or sell it on to press-cutting services and database companies, who can then pass it on again.

    including the non-exclusive right to syndicate (including electronic syndication or syndication for use in electronic databases) or distribute the Licensed Media (containing the Content) to NLA Media Access and all other owners of such databases, databanks and services for storage, copying, republication and redistribution to third parties

  4. + ADDEDYou give up your moral rights, including the right to be credited

    You waive your moral rights under UK and Australian copyright law. The Mail promises only "reasonable endeavours" to credit you, and forgetting to credit you is not a breach of contract.

    The Supplier hereby waives all moral rights in the Content to which the Supplier may be entitled under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (UK) or the Copyright Act 1968 (Australia)

  5. + ADDEDNothing gets taken down when the agreement ends

    Even if the agreement is terminated, the Mail keeps its rights forever and does not have to delete your content, take it off its sites, or pull it from anything already printed.

    neither the termination (for any reason) nor expiration of these Terms and Conditions shall require ANL to delete or destroy copies of, or remove from transmission or display, all or part of any Licensed Media containing Content

  6. + ADDEDYour personal details can be used for advertising and marketing

    Personal information you give them — including personal information inside your content — can be used for advertising, marketing and promotion under "legitimate interests", and they warn that once something is published they may not be able to delete it or honour a request to stop using it.

    The Supplier acknowledges that such personal information may be processed by ANL for (but not limited to) advertising, marketing, and promotional purposes

  7. + ADDEDYour name can be handed to anyone who complains

    If a third party claims your content breaches their copyright or privacy, the Mail can reveal who you are to them.

    ANL has the right to disclose the Supplier's identity to any third party who claims that any Content the Supplier has granted ANL a licence to use under these Terms and Conditions violates their intellectual property rights or of their right to privacy

  8. + ADDEDUnlimited liability for you, capped liability for them

    You must pay all of the Mail's losses, lost profits and legal fees if you break any promise you made about your content, with no cap. What the Mail can owe you is capped at the fees it paid you in the previous six months.

    The liability of the Supplier shall not be limited in respect of a claim by ANL under Clause 8.4.

  9. + ADDEDStrict promises you have to make about your content

    You must confirm you own the rights, have written permission from everyone who appears in the shot, that the content is not defamatory or privacy-invading, and that it follows press codes and the rules of any social platform you posted it on. You must also be 18 or over.

    it has secured all third party permissions and releases for each person whose Likeness is included in the Content

  10. + ADDEDYou get paid by self-billing invoice — and must chase unpaid uses yourself

    The Mail issues its own invoice on your behalf within 45 days of using your material. If it uses something and doesn't pay, it's on you to spot it, gather the links or page scans, and email them; only then does a 15 business-day payment clock start.

    ANL will send Supplier a self-billing invoice ("Invoice") reflecting the uses along with the payment of the Fee, no more than forty-five (45) days after the use.

  11. + ADDEDThe Mail decides what to publish, keep or pull down

    There is no promise to publish, keep or continue showing your content, and it can be removed at any time — including whenever the Mail thinks it might create legal risk.

    ANL is not under any obligation to retain, use or publish the Content under these Terms and Conditions and ANL has the right to remove any of the Content that may be published on Licensed Media from time to time

  12. + ADDEDDisputes go to English courts under English law

    English law governs, and the courts of England have exclusive jurisdiction. Australian suppliers get a slightly softer version (non-exclusive jurisdiction).

    The parties irrevocably agree that the courts of England have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim that arises out of or in connection with these Terms and Conditions
