Terms of Service

Last updated: June 2026

WhereToBuyFilm.com is a free, community-maintained directory of places to buy film and get it developed. By using the site you agree to these terms. They're short and written in plain English.


What the site is

WhereToBuyFilm.com lists shops, labs, and other locations relevant to film photographers. The information is compiled and maintained by volunteers. We do our best to keep it accurate, but we can't guarantee every listing is current – businesses close, hours change, services get dropped. Always check with a location directly before making a trip.


Using the site

You're welcome to use the site for personal, non-commercial purposes – finding a lab, planning a trip, looking up who stocks a particular film format.

Please don't:

  • Use automated tools to bulk-download or scrape the directory data
  • Use the data to build a competing commercial service without permission
  • Submit false, misleading, or spammy location suggestions
  • Attempt to interfere with the site's operation


Submitting locations

When you suggest a location, you're representing that the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge. We review all submissions before publishing. We may edit, reject, or remove listings at our discretion.

By submitting a location you grant us permission to publish that information on the site. We don't claim ownership of any business's information – shop names, addresses, and websites belong to their respective owners.


No warranties

The site is provided as-is. We make no guarantees about uptime, accuracy, or completeness. We're not liable for any loss or inconvenience resulting from relying on information in the directory.


Changes

We may update these terms occasionally. The date at the top of the page will reflect any changes.
