MomentBook Terms of Service

1. Scope and Acceptance

These Terms govern your use of the MomentBook mobile app, the read-only public web pages that display published journeys, and related support and legal pages.

By creating an account, uploading content, publishing a journey, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and the accompanying Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Community Guidelines, and any separate consent notices presented to you.

These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you and the operator of MomentBook. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility and Account Responsibilities

You may use the Service only if you can lawfully agree to these Terms and to any applicable data-processing rules in your jurisdiction.

If local law requires parent or guardian consent for a minor's account or publishing activity, that consent must be obtained before use.

You must provide accurate account information, keep credentials secure, and remain responsible for activity that occurs through your account.

3. Private Use and Public Publishing

Content you upload is not made public unless you choose to publish a journey.

When you publish a journey, selected photos, titles, descriptions, localized text, timing information, location labels, author display information, and related metadata may be shown on public MomentBook web pages.

4. Ownership, License, and Rights Clearances

You keep ownership of the photos, text, and other content you upload, subject to the rights you grant to us in these Terms.

You grant MomentBook a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, translate, localize, format, transmit, display, distribute, moderate, and otherwise use your content as needed to operate, secure, review, troubleshoot, promote, and improve the Service.

This license ends within a reasonable time after content is deleted or the account is closed, except to the extent copies must be retained for backups, legal obligations, dispute resolution, safety review, or evidence preservation.

You may upload and publish only content you have the right to use. If a person can be identified in a photo or related text, you are responsible for obtaining every permission or other lawful basis required to capture, upload, publish, localize, and publicly display that person's likeness, name, voice, or personal information.

If minors appear in content, you must obtain any parent or guardian permissions required by law. You must also respect copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, portrait, moral, venue, property, and similar rights.

5. Search Engines and Third-Party Visibility

Published journeys may be crawled, indexed, cached, translated, linked, embedded, or previewed by search engines, browsers, social platforms, AI systems, and other third parties.

If you later delete or unpublish content, MomentBook can stop displaying it on surfaces it controls, but cannot guarantee immediate removal of copies, thumbnails, snippets, caches, or archives kept by third parties.

6. Prohibited Conduct and Moderation

You must not upload, publish, or use the Service for illegal, deceptive, infringing, invasive, hateful, sexually exploitative, violent, or otherwise harmful conduct.

You must not expose personal data without authorization, impersonate others, evade safeguards, scrape the Service, send spam, abuse automated systems, or interfere with operations or safety controls.

We may review, delay, de-index, hide, restrict, or remove content, suspend accounts, and preserve records when reasonably necessary for safety, legal compliance, rights protection, fraud prevention, or enforcement of these Terms. Moderation decisions are made at our reasonable discretion.

7. Rights Complaints and DMCA Notices

Rights holders, privacy complainants, or authorities may contact support@momentbook.app. We may request URLs, identity or authority information, and supporting evidence before acting.

For copyright complaints under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), see our separate Copyright / DMCA Policy.

8. Account Deletion and Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time and request account or content deletion through available service tools or by contacting support@momentbook.app.

We may terminate or restrict access for material breaches, repeated violations, fraud, abuse, security risk, or legal risk.

9. Service Changes and Availability

We may change, pause, or discontinue features for operational, security, product, or legal reasons.

Except where prohibited by law, the Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, or that every public page will remain indexed or accessible.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. WE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements, be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, or that any defects will be corrected.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL MOMENTBOOK OR ITS OPERATOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES.

Our total cumulative liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred US dollars (USD $100). The foregoing limitations shall not apply to liability arising from death or personal injury caused by negligence, or to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless MomentBook and its operator from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in any way connected with (a) your access to or use of the Service, (b) your content, (c) your violation of these Terms, or (d) your violation of any third-party right, including intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights.

13. Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance under these Terms to the extent caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes, epidemics or pandemics, or shortages of transportation, facilities, fuel, energy, labor, or materials.

14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea, except to the extent mandatory consumer, privacy, or data-protection laws in your place of residence apply.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith informal negotiation. If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, it shall be resolved through binding arbitration in Seoul, Republic of Korea, in accordance with the Korean Arbitration Act, unless prohibited by the mandatory laws of your jurisdiction.

15. Class Action Waiver

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND MOMENTBOOK AGREE TO BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

16. Document Hierarchy, Updates, and Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and MomentBook regarding the Service. In the event of conflict between these Terms and any other MomentBook policy document, these Terms shall prevail, followed by the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, then the Community Guidelines.

We may update these Terms to reflect legal, operational, or product changes. Material changes will be announced at least 14 days before they take effect. The updated version date will be posted here. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
