Pa'am Po

Terms of use

Last updated: 10 November 2026

Pa'am Po (paampo.com) shows historical photos of places in Israel on a map and lets anyone photograph the same place today and upload the photo. Using the site, and especially uploading photos, is subject to these terms.

Agreeing to these terms

By browsing and using the site you agree to these terms and to the privacy policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

If the Hebrew and English versions differ, the Hebrew version applies.

Who can upload photos

To upload photos you sign in with a Google account or with a link sent to your email. You must be 16 or older to upload.

You are responsible for keeping access to your account safe. We may block an account that breaks these terms.

Your photos

You keep the copyright in the photos you upload. By uploading you confirm that you took the photo yourself and have the right to upload it.

You give Pa'am Po a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide permission to show the photo on the site and in the app, include it in share images (next to the old photo, with credit), keep it in the spot's timeline, and resize, crop and align it for display.

Your display name appears next to the photo as its credit.

If you choose to when uploading, the photo is also released under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0), so anyone may use it as long as they credit you. That release can't be withdrawn for copies already shared.

You can ask at any time for a photo you uploaded to be removed, or for your account to be deleted, at privacy@paampo.com.

Photo rules

  • Photograph the place, not people: photos where a person is the main subject or a face is identifiable up close are rejected.
  • Photograph the right place, from as close to the same spot as you can.
  • No offensive, sexual, violent or illegal content, and no personal details of others.
  • Don't put yourself at risk: don't stand in the road, and don't enter private or closed areas to take a photo.

Review and removal

Every photo is reviewed before it is published. We may reject or remove a photo at any time, without giving a reason.

Anyone can report a published photo. A reported photo is hidden until we review it.

The historical photos

The historical photos on the site are free to use: they are in the public domain, marked "no known restrictions" by the Library of Congress, or released under CC BY. Each one shows its source, photographer and license. If you use them outside the site, follow their license and give credit.

Rights holders who believe a photo was added by mistake can contact us as described on the Copyright and removal requests page.

Liability

The site is provided as is. Spot positions, camera directions and dates are estimates and may be wrong.

Use the site with care, especially out in the street. To the extent the law allows, Pa'am Po is not liable for damage caused by using or relying on the site.

Changes, law and jurisdiction

We may update these terms. We'll change the date at the top of this page and announce significant changes on the site.

These terms are governed by Israeli law. The competent courts in Tel Aviv-Jaffa have exclusive jurisdiction.
