ACCOMMODATION COSTS
- Accommodation prices may be subject to change, so people who book later in the year may pay more than those who book early. This is because the accommodation owners have some rooms still to be announced that may cost more & the accommodation reserves the right to increase their costs throughout the year, but if you have booked a price, you have it guaranteed.
PHOTOGRAPHY & MEDIA AT OLW EVENTS
- Oban Lesbian Weekend reserve the right to use photos and videos taken on our events to promote Out and About in any and all media now existing or to be invented.
- Event participants who do not wish to be included in such materials are responsible for advising OLW photographers of this and not participating in any photography or filming at events.
- To assist with this, we have blue dots that are available on reception or underneath toilet mirrors, along with an accompanying sign. The blue dots are to indicate that you would like not to be in our photos. It is your responsibility to put a blue dot on every day and to make yourself known to our photographers and not pose for any photos.
- Oban Lesbian Weekend and Oban Lesbian Weekend on tour events will have official photographers & crew taking photos and these photos may be used for social media and promotion purposes.
- Please be aware there might be a few large group photos of real life, like on the dance floor. If we have accidentally caught your face in these we will blur it out but we may not be able to remove you if you are in a photo from the back or side and your face is not visible, so you would be unrecognisable.
- Please also be aware that other attendees may take photos you are in & post them on socials. We cannot be responsible for photos taken by attendees or if they post them on social media but our blue dot and not posing for photos, generally works well.
License to use assets
Oban Lesbian Weekend will want to use and re-use assets from events (these include photographs, videos, film or any other content).
To assist with this, our event participants grant to Oban Lesbian Weekend an irrevocable licence to use that asset for the purpose of OLW for perpetuity, in any and all media now existing or to be invented and in territory that Out and About operates or seeks to operate.
