Terms of Service

Last updated: November 21, 2025

This is an agreement between Indius LLC ("We" or "Us"), a California corporation that owns and operates PhotoJournal (the "Service"), and you, a registered user of the Service.

We built PhotoJournal because your memories deserve better than a social media algorithm deciding who sees what. These Terms of Service ("Terms") help keep the Service fair, safe, and enjoyable for everyone.

We may remove Shared Pages or content that violates these Terms or applicable law.

Your Rights and Our Rights

Your Content

You retain ownership of the pictures, videos, text, and other content you create and upload ("User Content").

Store your User Content;
Process it to operate and improve the Service;
Display it to you within the Service;
Deliver it to others when you choose to share it.

We will not sell or rent your personal data.

Your Responsibility

You are solely responsible for:

The content you upload and share;

Any consequences arising from illegal, harmful, or infringing content you create or share.

If you violate the law or these Terms, you are solely responsible for the outcome, including any fines or penalties.

Our Responsibility

We are not responsible for the actions or content of other users. We are not liable for any loss or damage that results from your use of the Service, including data loss, service interruption, or unauthorized access, to the fullest extent allowed by law.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claims arising out of or relating to the Service will not exceed the amount you paid to use the Service (which is currently $0).

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without any warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Contact

We have the right to contact you using the email address (and, if provided, phone number) associated with your account for Service-related purposes.

Indemnification

Arbitration and Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

Any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding arbitration in Santa Clara County, California. You agree not to participate in any class action or class-wide arbitration against us.

Severability

If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.
