Buildings
Photos are taken in distinctive property such as architecture, building or landmarks and if the property is main subject, you can not post/sell that photo on Weawow.
On the other hand, building is not main subject, for instance, panoramatic townscape can be posted and sold without permission.
Since there is no clear definition on what the main subject is, we want to emphasize the risk you face. -

If you are on privately owned property or in a public facility such as a theme park, zoo, restaurant, museum or friend's house, and you want to publish or sell the photo you took on Weawow, you need a permission of the owner/manager.
