Terms
Who can have an account
You must be 18 or older. One person, one account. Do not use another person's or business's name as your display name.
What you send
- Only photos you took, of an animal that is or was yours. No AI-generated or edited images, beyond cropping.
- Lab reports must be genuine and for the animal in the photos.
- You keep ownership. You allow WhatMorph to show your approved photos on this site, credited to your display name, until you withdraw them. Withdrawing removes them from our storage, and from the site within 7 days; we cannot recall copies other people made while they were public.
Identification opinions
- An opinion is one person's reading of photographs you supplied. It is not a DNA test, a certificate, a valuation or veterinary advice, and it can be wrong.
- Do not use an opinion to describe an animal for sale, or in a dispute with a seller or buyer. Accounts that do are closed.
- There is no promised turnaround. A request may be declined, in which case its credit is returned.
Credits and ranks
Credits and ranks have no cash value, cannot be transferred, and the way they are earned or spent can change or end. A contributor rank counts approved submissions and is not an endorsement of anyone.
The service
The site is provided as it is, with no promise that it is complete, correct or always available. Gene pages are a reference compiled from the sources they cite; check those sources before relying on them.
Closing accounts
We may close an account that sends false reports, other people's photos, AI images, abuse, or that breaks these terms.
Limits of our responsibility
To the extent the law allows, WhatMorph and its operator are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including any loss on the purchase, sale or breeding of an animal, that come from using this site or an identification opinion. Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or fifty US dollars. Some places do not allow these limits; where they do not, they apply only as far as the law allows.
Copyright complaints
If you believe a photo or text on this site infringes your copyright, send a notice to hello@whatmorph.com that gives: your name and how to reach you (postal address, phone or email); the work you say is infringed; the page address and the item on it; a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised by you, your agent or the law; a statement that the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you own the right or may act for its owner; and your physical or electronic signature.
We remove or disable the item promptly and tell the member who posted it. A member who believes it was removed by mistake may send a counter-notice to the same address with the details the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act requires; we may then restore it after 10 to 14 business days, unless the person who complained tells us they have filed a court action. Accounts that repeatedly post other people's work are closed. Our designated agent for these notices is the operator named under "Who runs this site".
Changes to these terms
We may change these terms; the date at the top shows the current version. If a change affects what we may do with your photos or personal data, we will email account holders at least 14 days before it takes effect. If you keep using your account after that, the new terms apply to you; you may instead close your account and withdraw your photos. A change does not apply to a dispute that began before it.
Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute about them or this site is heard in the state or federal courts that serve Warren County, New York, and you and we agree to those courts. If a court finds part of these terms unenforceable, the rest still applies.
Who runs this site
WhatMorph is operated by Approved Property Services LLC, trading as Amnesia Oddities, 52B Main Street, Queensbury, NY 12804.
