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.

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

Your Responsibility
You are solely responsible for:

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