Terms & conditions

By creating an account or using SnapSake, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the app. These terms apply to everyone with an account, whether you upload photos or only receive them.

SnapSake is a private photo library with per-photo sharing. Instead of posting into a group, you choose exactly which friends receive each photo, and it appears in their library too.

The app is a small, independent project offered free of charge, currently in testing with friends. It is not a commercial service, and we don't promise any particular level of availability, uptime or support. Features, storage limits and sharing rules may change, and the service may be paused or discontinued.

• Use an email address you actually control, and keep your password to yourself.
• You are responsible for activity that happens under your account.
• One account per person. Don’t create accounts on someone else’s behalf or share one between people.
• You must be at least 13 years old, and old enough to consent to these terms where you live.

You keep all rights to the photos you upload. To run the service we need permission to store your files, keep the records that make sharing work, and deliver them to you and to the people you share them with — including resizing or re-encoding a copy so it loads quickly. That permission lasts only as long as the photo is in your library.

Only upload photos you have the right to upload. Don't upload someone else's work without permission, and don't upload images of other people that they wouldn't expect to be shared.

• Sharing adds a photo to a friend’s library. It is access, not a transfer — you keep the original.
• A recipient can download, copy or screenshot a photo while it is shared with them, and we cannot undo that.
• Shared photos count against your storage, not the recipient’s.
• Each plan limits how many different people a photo can be shared with over its lifetime (Free 2, Plus 6, Pro 15). Removing someone and adding them back does not free a slot. Albums have a matching limit on how many people can be in them.
• Limits are enforced by a fingerprint of the file, so deleting a photo and re-uploading the same image does not reset its sharing history.
• Photos are compressed when you upload them (Free 1080p, Plus 1440p, Pro 4K) and capped at 15 MB each. Storage is 500 MB on Free, 10 GB on Plus and 50 GB on Pro. Re-uploading an identical file is rejected.

Attempting to get around these limits — by altering files, abusing multiple accounts, or tampering with the app's requests — is a breach of these terms.

Don't use SnapSake to store or share anything that is illegal, or to:

• upload sexual images of minors, or intimate images of someone without their consent;
• harass, threaten, stalk or expose someone’s private information;
• infringe copyright, trademarks or other rights;
• distribute malware, phishing links or spam;
• probe, scan, overload or attempt to break the service or other people’s accounts;
• scrape, mirror or bulk-download content you don’t have permission to access;
• resell the service or use it as storage for a commercial product.

We may remove content or suspend an account that breaks these terms or puts the service or other people at risk, and we may report illegal content to the authorities. Where it's reasonable and possible, we'll tell you why. You can stop using the service at any time and ask us to delete your account.

SnapSake is a sharing tool, not a backup service. Don't rely on it as the only copy of anything important — keep the originals on your own device or in your own backup.

The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy or non-infringement. We don't guarantee that photos will always be available, that the service will be uninterrupted, or that data will never be lost.

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses, or for lost or corrupted photos, lost data, or loss of goodwill arising from your use of the service. Because the service is free, our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you have paid us, which is zero. Nothing here limits rights you have under mandatory consumer law where you live.

These terms are governed by the laws of the country in which the operator of SnapSake resides, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.

We may update these terms as the app changes; the date at the top shows the current version, and continuing to use the app after a change means you accept it. Questions, complaints or takedown requests: [email protected].
