Terms of Service

Effective date: September 25, 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Archivd LLC ("archivd", "we", "us") covering your use of the archivd app and related services. By creating an account or using archivd, you agree to them. If you don't agree, don't use archivd.

Joining the waitlist on archivd.app is not an account and does not guarantee access. It creates no agreement beyond our emailing you about your place, which is described in the Privacy Policy.

A note on what follows. Sections 15 and 16 affect how disputes get resolved, including a waiver of class actions and of jury trial. They're written in plain English and they're worth reading.

1. Who can use archivd

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your country) to use archivd. If you're under 18, you should have your parent or guardian's permission.

You also confirm that you are not barred from using archivd under the laws of the US or your own country, and that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as terrorist-supporting, and are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

2. Your account

You're responsible for your account: keep your password private and let us know promptly if you suspect someone else has accessed it. The information you give us (like your email) needs to be accurate so we can reach you about your account.

One person, one account. Don't share your login, and don't let anyone else use your account.

3. Your content

You own what you put into archivd. Your notes, photos, videos, and everything else you capture remain yours.

To run the service, you give us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, back up, transmit, and process your content, solely to provide archivd's features to you (for example: syncing your captures between devices or computing your personal insights). This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for brief periods needed to complete deletion from backups.

You're responsible for what you save. By saving something you confirm you have the right to store it for your own personal reference, and that doing so doesn't break the law or a third party's rights.

Shared boards. Sharing in archivd is by invitation only, and there is no public page: nothing you save is reachable from the open web. When you invite someone to a board, they can see it and add to it. You're responsible for what you put on a shared board, and each member is responsible for what they add. You can remove a member, or revoke an invitation, at any time. Once someone has seen something, removing it from archivd can't take it back from them.

We don't claim ownership of your content, we don't use it for advertising, we don't use it to train anything, and we don't share it except as described in our Privacy Policy.

Backups are your responsibility too. archivd keeps backups for our own operational purposes, but they aren't an archive service for you. Use the export in Settings → Content & privacy if something matters.

4. Acceptable use

Use archivd for yourself, and don't use it to harm anyone else. Specifically, don't:

• break the law, or store or share content that infringes someone else's intellectual property, privacy, or other rights;
• store content that is unlawful, that sexually exploits or endangers a minor, or that exists to harass, threaten, or defame someone;
• upload malware, or anything designed to damage or interfere with software or data;
• probe, scan, overload, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the service, our systems, or another user's data;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the app, except where the law says you may;
• scrape or harvest the service, or access it through automated means, bots, or any interface we didn't provide;
• resell, sublicense, rent, or commercially redistribute archivd or access to it;
• circumvent usage limits, plan restrictions, or any security or rate-limiting measure;
• impersonate someone else, or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone.

Reporting a problem. If somebody puts something on a shared board that breaks these rules, open that board's share sheet and choose Report this Collection, or email Team@archivd.app. We review every report, and we can remove content, remove a member, or close an account. You can also leave a shared board at any time, which stops anything new from it reaching you.

There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behavior on archivd. Anything you publish or share must follow these rules, and you can report anything that doesn't, and block anyone, from inside the app. We review reports within 24 hours, remove content that breaks these rules, and remove the accounts of people who post it.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that do these things. Where it's reasonable and lawful, we'll tell you first.

5. Copyright and takedown requests

archivd is a private library: nothing you save is visible to anyone else unless you invite them to a shared board, and nothing is published to the open web. We still respect copyright, we act on takedown requests, and we terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

If you believe content stored on archivd infringes your copyright, send a notice to Team@archivd.app with:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed.
• Identification of the material you're asking us to remove, with enough detail for us to find it.
• Your contact details.
• A statement that you believe in good faith the use isn't authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for them.

If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake, you may send a counter-notice to the same address containing the equivalent information.

Because archivd stores material privately at a user's direction and publishes nothing to the open web, most copyright complaints about content found elsewhere on the internet are not complaints about archivd. We'll still look at every notice we receive.

6. Third-party content and links

archivd saves links to, and previews of, content that lives on other services. We don't control that content, we don't endorse it, and we're not responsible for it or for the sites it sits on. Your use of those services is governed by their terms, not ours. If a third-party service changes or disappears, a preview or link you saved may stop working.

You're also responsible for complying with the terms of any service you save from.

7. archivd Plus subscriptions

archivd offers an optional paid subscription ("archivd Plus") purchased through the App Store.

• Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period until cancelled.
• Cancelling. Cancel anytime in your App Store account settings (Settings → your name → Subscriptions on iOS). Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep access until the end of the paid period.
• Pricing. The price and billing period are shown in the app before you buy. Prices may change; you'll always be able to cancel before a change takes effect.
• Refunds. Payments are processed by Apple, and refund requests are handled by Apple under their policies; we can't issue App Store refunds directly.
• Free trials. If we offer one, it converts to a paid subscription at the end of the trial unless you cancel first. The terms of any trial are shown before you start it.
• Storage and file limits. Each plan carries a total storage allowance for photos and video and a maximum size for any single file. The current figures are shown in the app before you subscribe. Going over either one stops new uploads; it never deletes anything you have already saved, and notes and links keep saving as normal.

If a subscription lapses, your content stays in your account and nothing is deleted; the premium features switch off and the free plan's limits apply again, which means new uploads stop until you are back under them.

8. Pre-release and beta features

We sometimes make features available early, through TestFlight or inside the app, labelled as beta or preview. Those features are provided as is, may change or disappear without notice, and may contain more bugs than the rest of archivd. Don't rely on them for anything you can't afford to lose, and please don't publish details of unreleased features without asking us.

9. Availability and changes

We work to keep archivd reliable, but the service is provided "as is" and "as available"; we can't promise it will always be uninterrupted or error-free. We may add, change, or remove features over time. If we ever discontinue archivd entirely, we'll give you reasonable notice and the chance to export your content.

10. Termination

You can stop using archivd and delete your account at any time in Settings. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or create risk for the service or other users; where reasonable, we'll notify you and give you a chance to export your content.

Sections 11 through 16, and section 18, survive termination.

11. Feedback

If you send us an idea, a suggestion, or a bug report, thank you, genuinely. We may use it without any obligation to you, and without owing you compensation or credit. You keep the right to use your own idea however you like; you're just not granting us anything you can later take back. Don't send us anything you consider confidential.

12. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, archivd is provided without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We don't warrant that the service will meet your requirements, that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that any content you store will never be lost or corrupted.

Some jurisdictions don't allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of this may not apply to you.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Archivd LLC and its members, officers, and contractors from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your content, your use of archivd, your breach of these terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

We'll tell you promptly about any claim we're seeking indemnity for, and you can control its defence, as long as any settlement that admits fault or obligation on our part needs our written agreement first.

14. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• Neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, or lost or corrupted data, even if we were told such damages were possible.
• Our total liability for all claims relating to the service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or US $50.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law — including liability for fraud, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, and any non-excludable consumer rights you have where you live. Some jurisdictions don't allow some of these limits, so they may not apply to you in full.

15. Resolving disputes

Talk to us first. If you have a problem, email Team@archivd.app with a short description of it and what you'd like us to do. Most things get sorted this way. Both of us agree to try to resolve a dispute informally for 60 days before starting formal proceedings, and neither side will start one during that period.

If that doesn't work. Any dispute that can be heard in small claims court may be brought there, and we'd usually prefer that. Otherwise, disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and you and we both consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

Class action waiver. To the extent permitted by law, you and we each agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding.

Jury trial waiver. To the extent permitted by law, you and we each waive any right to a jury trial.

Where this doesn't apply. If you're a consumer in the EU, the UK, or anywhere else whose law gives you the right to bring proceedings in your local courts or under your local consumer law, this section doesn't take that away. Nothing here overrides a right you can't waive.

Time limit. Any claim relating to archivd must be brought within one year of when it arose, or it's waived, unless your local law says otherwise.

16. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If you're a consumer, this doesn't deprive you of the protection of the mandatory laws of the country you live in.

17. Apple and the App Store

This section applies because you got archivd on the App Store. Apple requires it, and it's accurate:

• This agreement is with us, not Apple. These terms are between you and Archivd LLC only. Apple is not a party to them, and we, not Apple, are solely responsible for archivd and its content.
• Your licence. We grant you a non-transferable licence to use archivd on any Apple-branded product that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the App Store Terms of Service.
• Support. We're solely responsible for any maintenance and support for archivd. Apple has no obligation to provide any.
• Warranty. We're solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied, to the extent they aren't effectively disclaimed above. If archivd fails to conform to any warranty that does apply, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the app to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation at all with respect to archivd.
• Claims. We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to archivd, including product liability claims, any claim that archivd fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
• Intellectual property. If a third party claims that archivd infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of that claim.
• Third-party beneficiary. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms, and on your acceptance of them Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce them against you.
• Contact. For any question, complaint, or claim about archivd, reach us at Team@archivd.app.

18. General

Entire agreement. These terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about archivd, and replace anything said before.

Severability. If any part of these terms is held unenforceable, that part is limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest stays in force.

No waiver. If we don't enforce a provision, that isn't a waiver of it. We can still enforce it later.

Assignment. You can't transfer these terms or your account to someone else without our written agreement. We may assign these terms to an affiliate, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, on notice to you.

Notices. We'll reach you at the email on your account or through the app; you can reach us at Team@archivd.app. A notice by email counts as given on the day it's sent.

Events outside our control. Neither of us is liable for failing to perform because of something genuinely outside our reasonable control, such as a network outage, a provider failure, or a natural disaster.

No agency. These terms don't create a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship between us.

Language. These terms are written in English. If we provide a translation and the two conflict, the English version governs.

19. Changes to these terms

If we make material changes, we'll update the effective date above and notify you in the app before they take effect. Continuing to use archivd after that means you accept them. If you don't, you can delete your account.
