The ground rules.

Rawenger is run by Exquillin Digital SRL, Brussels, Belgium, registered office at Rue des Bannières 14, box 2, 1150 Woluwe-Saint-Pierre, Belgium, enterprise number 0645.527.278. You can reach us at hello@rawenger.com or through the contact form.

Rawenger compares a photo with the RAW file it was shot with. It shows how far the photo was edited after capture (the fidelity score) and, if you upload the RAW for the sensor check, whether the RAW holds a genuine camera capture. You can turn the result into a public certificate with an embeddable badge.

The analysis is automated and has limits, which we describe openly on each certificate and on the RAWEngine page. It can miss an edit, and it can fail to rate an honest photo.

• Rawenger is free while it is in beta. Fair-use limits apply to the number of checks and certificates per day.
• Certificates issued during the beta stay free and online for as long as Rawenger runs, including after the beta ends.
• We may introduce paid plans later. We will announce them in advance, and nothing you already have will start to cost money without your agreement.
• As a beta, features may change, and the service may occasionally be unavailable.

• You must be 16 or over to create an account.
• Give accurate details, keep your password to yourself, and tell us if you think someone else has used your account.
• One account per person. Accounts may not be sold or transferred.
• You can delete your account at any time under My account → Password & account; this deletes your certificates too. See the privacy policy for what happens to your data.

• Your photos remain yours. Uploading them gives us no ownership and no right to use them for anything else.
• You give us the permission we need to run the service: to store and analyse what you upload, and, for a certificate you issue, to show the photo, its details and its badge publicly, for as long as the certificate is public. You can make a certificate private or delete it at any time.
• Only upload photos you have the right to use, and that respect the people in them. Don't upload unlawful content, or private photos of others without their permission.

A certificate records what the analysis found when the certificate was issued: whether the photo matches the camera file, whether the sensor data was verified, and how far the photo was edited. It is digitally signed, so any later change would show. Each certificate lists what it says and what it does not say.

A certificate is not a statement about who took the photo, what or who it shows, where or when it was taken beyond the camera's own records, or whether the scene was staged. The photographer's name on a certificate is the name entered by the person who issued it.

If a certificate was obtained by deceiving the analysis, shows unlawful content, or infringes someone's rights, we may make it private or withdraw it. Its link will then say so.

Don't:

• use Rawenger to mislead people about a photo, or present a certificate as saying more than it does;
• attack, overload or probe our servers, work around the daily limits, or collect data from the site automatically;
• impersonate someone else, or issue certificates in someone else's name without their consent.

We run Rawenger with care, but we provide it as it is and cannot promise that the analysis is free of errors or that the service is always available. As far as the law allows, we are not liable for indirect losses, such as lost business, arising from the use of Rawenger or of a certificate.

Nothing in these terms limits our liability where the law doesn't allow it, such as for intent or gross negligence, or takes away rights you have as a consumer.

You can stop using Rawenger at any time. We may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms, and tell you why. We may update these terms; if a change matters to you, we will tell you by email or on the site before it takes effect.

These terms are governed by Belgian law. Disputes go to the courts of Brussels, unless the law gives you, as a consumer, the right to go to the courts where you live. Before going to court, please write to us: most problems can be solved quickly.
