Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Photoreka ("the Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, you must not use the Platform. Your continued use constitutes acceptance of any future modifications to these terms.

These Terms of Service should be read in conjunction with our Privacy & Image Policy, which governs how we handle your data and images.

2. Description of Service

Photoreka is an AI-powered photo curation platform designed for photographers. The Platform provides tools for photo search, analysis, curation, scoring, and visualization using artificial intelligence technologies. The service is intended exclusively for artistic or documentary photographic bodies of work.

Photoreka is not a storage service. The Platform does not replace, substitute, or serve as a backup for your original photo storage system (local drives, cloud services, or any other storage solution). Only reduced, medium-quality versions of your images are stored on our servers for the sole purpose of enabling analysis, search, and preview functionalities. You must always maintain your own independent copies and backups of your original files.

Where you choose to sign in using Google, or to import photos from Google Photos or Google Drive, those integrations are additionally subject to the Google Terms of Service. Photoreka's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. See our Privacy & Image Policy for details on what Google user data we access and how it is used.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

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

Photoreka does not warrant that AI-generated tags, scores, or analysis results will be accurate, complete, or error-free.

Photoreka does not guarantee the preservation, integrity, or availability of any images stored on the Platform.

Photoreka assumes no responsibility whatsoever for the loss, corruption, or unavailability of images or derived data on the Platform. You are solely responsible for maintaining backups of your original files.

9. Limitation of Liability

• To the maximum extent permitted by law, Photoreka shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the use of or inability to use the Platform.
• Photoreka's total liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid to Photoreka in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Photoreka, its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from your use of the Platform, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any third-party rights.

11. Termination

• You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us at hello@photoreka.com.
