Submission Rules

Effective August 15, 2026Policy version 2026-08-15-v3
Important: This is a practical pilot policy, not individualized legal advice or a promise that the operator is immune from claims. Qualified counsel should review it before paid operation or public publication of user-submitted images.

Submit only eligible images

  • Use photographs you took or have explicit authority to license.
  • Photograph one physical bottle consistently across every required view.
  • Show the full bottle and requested construction details clearly, without deceptive edits, filters, overlays, or compositing.
  • Choose accurate house, fragrance, concentration, size, and presentation values; use Other or Not Sure when needed.

Keep people and private details out

  • No faces, bodies, voices, identifying reflections, minors, or bystanders.
  • No receipts, invoices, addresses, shipping labels, account screens, contact details, license plates, or home/family photographs.
  • No supplier, wholesaler, marketplace account, order, or confidential sourcing information.

Do not submit third-party or unsafe content

  • No photos copied from listings, brand sites, social media, review sites, or another collector without permission.
  • No unlawful, threatening, harassing, defamatory, explicit, malicious, or privacy-invasive content.
  • No malware, tracking code, hidden payloads, automated bulk submissions, or attempts to bypass file, account, or rate limits.

Review outcomes

Reviewers may request additional images, quarantine an entry, route it for final approval, accept it, classify it as a duplicate, decline it, or archive it. Requested replacement photographs remain attached to the original contribution, and prior versions may be retained privately for reviewer comparison, audit integrity, disputes, and quality control. Acceptance rewards two complimentary bottle checks once. Rewards are appreciation credits, have no cash value, and do not depend on a brand-authenticity finding.
