5. Professional Conduct & Bookings
MedellinModeling.com is a discovery platform only. We facilitate connections between models and photographers but are not a party to any booking, contract, payment, or engagement that results from those connections. Any agreement reached between users is solely between those users.
We make no representations regarding the accuracy, safety, or suitability of any user profile, and we do not verify credentials, professional status, or the identity of users beyond email confirmation. You are solely responsible for conducting your own due diligence before entering into any professional or financial arrangement with another user.
6. Our Intellectual Property
The Platform's design, code, trademarks, logos, and all content created by us are our exclusive property or are used under licence. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership of Platform IP to you. You may not reproduce, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from any Platform content without our prior written consent.
7. Privacy
Your use of the Platform is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Platform you acknowledge that you have read and agree to our Privacy Policy.
8. Termination
8.1 By you
You may delete your account at any time by contacting us at [email protected] . Upon deletion, your public profile and photos will be removed. Some information may be retained as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any account at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that we determine, in our sole discretion, violates these Terms, harms other users, or is otherwise objectionable.

Upon termination all licences granted to you cease immediately. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 3.1, 6, 9, 10, and 11 — will survive.
9. Disclaimers
THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components. We do not guarantee any particular outcome from using the Platform, including bookings, professional engagements, or income.
