SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Facebook's Instagram photo sharing service has been hit with what appears to be the first civil lawsuit to result from changed service terms that prompted howls of protest last week.
In a proposed class action lawsuit filed in San Francisco federal court on Friday, a California Instagram user leveled breach of contract and other claims against the company.
"We believe this complaintis without merit and we will fight it vigorously," Facebook spokesman Andrew Noyes said in an e-mail.
Instagram, which allows people to add filters and effects to photos and share them easily on the Internet, was acquired by Facebook earlier this year for $715 million.
In announcing revised terms of service last week, Instagram spurred suspicions that it would sell user photos without compensation. It also announced a mandatory arbitration clause, forcing users to waive their rights to participate in a class action lawsuit except under very limited circumstances.
The current terms of service, in effect through mid-January, contain no such liability shield.
The backlash prompted Instagram founder and CEO Kevin Systrom to retreat partially a few dayslater, deleting language about displaying photos without compensation.
However, Instagram kept language that gave it the ability to place ads in conjunction with user content, and saying "that we may not always identify paid services, sponsored content, or commercial communications as such." It also kept the mandatoryarbitration clause.
The lawsuit, filed by San Diego-based law firm Finkelstein & Krinsk, says customers who do not agree with Instagram's terms can cancel their profile but then forfeit rights to photos they had previously shared on the service.
"In short, Instagram declares that 'possession isnine-tenths of the law and if you don't like it, you can't stop us,'" the lawsuit says.
Kurt Opsahl, a senior staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation who had criticized Instagram, said he was pleased that the company rolled back some of the advertising terms and agreed to better explain their plans in the future.
However, he said the newterms no longer contain language which had explicitly promised that private photos would remain private. Facebook had engendered criticism in the past, Opsahl said, for changing settings so that the ability to keep some information private was no longer available.
"Hopefully, Instagram willlearn from that experienceand refrain from removingprivacy settings," Opsahl said.
The civil lawsuit in U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, is Lucy Funes, individually and on behalf of all otherssimilarly situated vs. Instagram Inc., 12-cv-6482.

Jaguar Land Rover's Chinese subsidiary will recall 337 cars
The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said in a statement on its website that Jaguar Land Rover's China unit is recalling 190 2012 Evoque and Freelander vehicles produced on June 11 this year.
The agency's statement saidthe recall was prompted by concerns that substandard fixings in the vehicles' rear brake calipers may lead to brakes failing and sudden tire deflation.
The agency said another 147 2012 Evoque and 2013Evoque vehicles made between October 20 and September 18 will also be recalled due to problems intheir steering boxes, which contain "security risks".
Jaguar Land Rover, the British luxury marque owned by India's Tata Motors , has relied on strong demand over the past year from emerging markets such as China for itsluxury SUVs and sleek sedans to offset sluggish growth in developed markets.

Spain's awards billions lottery winners
The country's annual Christmas lottery pays out this year $2.2 billion to thousands of winners, but those holding the winning number for the top prize --76058 -- for El Gordo, or"the fat one," reaped the biggest rewards, accordingto Spain's state-run lottery.
The first prize paid $950 million overall, or 43 percent of the total prizes, and most of "El Gordo" waswon by some residents of the historic university town of Alcala de Henares, just east of Madrid, the lottery administration said.
There, in a working class neighborhood with public housing and many immigrants, Spanish media reported that champagne bottles were popping at the lottery office that sold many of the winning tickets.
Spaniards typically buy a share of a ticket, among friends or family, at the local bar or workplace, so the joy was spread around.
Is praying for a lottery win frowned upon? Depends on who you ask
A man in Alcala de Henares bought 10 shares -- an amount known as a"full ticket," and now worth $5.2 million -- and had given them away otherfamily members. One recipient, the father of a young child, said he would try to buy a decent home and a car.
Another winner was a cafe owner who said he'd still probably open for businesson Monday, after going to collect his earnings at the bank, Spanish media reported.
The second biggest prize mostly went to residents in the town of Aranda de Duero, north of Madrid. Numerous towns across thenation also got a piece of the action, and some portions of the top El Gordo prize were sold in 15 Spanish provinces.
But Spain's recession and the unemployment rate that tops 25% clearly had an impact on the lottery intake this year.

Peru to prepay up to $1.5 billion in debt to stem the Peruvian sol's
LIMA, Dec 22 (Reuters) - Peru will launch an aggressive plan to prepay up to $1.5 billion in debt in 2013 to try to stem the Peruvian sol's appreciationby soaking up foreign currency in the local market, Finance Minister Luis Miguel Castilla said on Saturday.
"We are going to use and make prepayments of between $1 billion and$1.5 billion in 2013, and this will serve to absorb some of the appreciating pressure that exists in the economy," the minister told a news conference.
Peru's sol closed on Friday at its strongest level in more than 16 years, with a bid price of 2.558 per dollar.
Yield-hungry investors have poured money into emerging markets such as Peru, which has expanded on average by 6 percent a year in the last decade. It currently ranks as South America's fastest-growing economy.
Castilla also raised his forecast for 2013 economicgrowth to 6.3 percent from 6.0 percent previously. The new number matches the government's growth forecast for 2012.
The minister mentioned the possibility of debt prepayment during an interview with Reuters nearly two months ago. He said the debt prepayment was part of a"liability management policy" that seeks to improve and extend the Andean country's debt profile.
Paying foreign bonds early would complement other measures the government has applied to curb the sol's rally, such as raising deposit requirements on bank accounts denominated in dollars or allowing local pension funds to invest more money abroad.
Peru has local and foreigndebt in dollars and soles that are equivalent to about $36.6 billion, or nearly 20 percent of grossdomestic product. About$20 billion is foreign debt,according to the central bank.
