We love your content and think our followers and guests will too.

We want to use the Content that we messaged you about to inspire and spread travel joy, and to promote and advertise our services and values by posting, uploading, transmitting or making the Content available on our platforms (whether it’s information, images, video or other data).

We ask for your permission because we respect your rights and the rights of other content creators. By responding to our request with @cooksclubhotels #yescooksclubhotels you’re telling us that you’ve read, understood, and agree to the conditions below.

You’re granting all companies in our corporate group a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, and sub-licensable right to:

1. host and display the Content in electronic formats
2. publicly display, distribute, modify, adapt, publish, translate, and create derivative works from the Content on our websites, social media, blog, and marketing emails

• the Content doesn’t contain any third-party trademark or copyrighted material, or material that’s subject to other third-party proprietary rights

These terms are subject to the laws of England and Wales. In the unlikely event that we enter into a formal dispute relating to these terms, the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction to settle this.
