Terms of Service

2. Accounts and security

You must provide accurate information, keep credentials and recovery methods secure, and promptly notify us of suspected unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity under your account and for permissions granted to workspace members, API keys, shared links, and connected services. We are not responsible for losses caused by compromised credentials or settings within your control.

3. The Service and your backups

The Service lets users upload, organize, process, download, and share files. Features, storage limits, file-size limits, and plans may change, and we do not guarantee that any particular feature will remain available. The Service is not an archival or guaranteed backup service. You must keep independent copies of important content. Uploading, syncing, migration, previews, metadata extraction, facial grouping, and downloads may fail or be incomplete, and you are responsible for confirming file integrity.

4. Your content

You retain ownership of content you upload or connect. You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, copy, transmit, cache, format, scan, create previews and metadata, and otherwise process that content only as needed to operate, secure, improve, and support the Service, comply with law, and follow your sharing or storage instructions. This license ends when the content is deleted from our systems, subject to legal obligations and temporary backup retention.

You are solely responsible for your content and for having all rights, permissions, and lawful bases needed to store, process, and share it. We do not endorse user content and have no obligation to pre-screen or monitor it. Public links and invitations may allow others to access, copy, or redistribute content; you are responsible for choosing appropriate sharing settings.

5. Acceptable use

You may not use the Service to:

• store, share, or facilitate unlawful, infringing, fraudulent, defamatory, abusive, or privacy-violating material;
• exploit or endanger children, distribute non-consensual intimate material, or store content depicting sexual abuse;
• distribute malware, steal credentials, spam, evade security or storage limits, probe systems without permission, or interfere with the Service;
• impersonate others, violate export or sanctions laws, or use the Service in a way that exposes Bodek or others to liability; or
• resell or provide access to the Service except under a plan or written agreement that permits it.

We may investigate suspected violations, preserve or disclose information when legally permitted, remove or disable content, limit sharing, and suspend accounts to protect users, Bodek, or the public.

6. Copyright and DMCA complaints

We are not responsible for user content. We respond expeditiously to valid copyright notices and may remove or disable allegedly infringing material. We may terminate repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

Send copyright notices to dmca@bodek.us. A notice should identify the copyrighted work, identify and locate the allegedly infringing material, provide your contact information, include statements of good-faith belief and accuracy under penalty of perjury, and include the physical or electronic signature of the authorized rights holder. Misrepresentations may create liability. If your content is removed by mistake, you may send a legally valid counter-notice to the same address.

7. Third-party storage and services

If you connect Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, Dropbox, Google Drive, or another provider, you direct us to access and transfer data through that provider. You are solely responsible for your account, credentials, charges, capacity, permissions, backups, and compliance with that provider's terms and policies. Third-party providers are independent of Bodek, and we are not responsible for their acts, outages, security, data loss, policy changes, suspension, or termination. Removing access, changing files outside Bodek Files, or allowing credentials to expire may make content unavailable.

8. Subscriptions, billing, and cancellation

Paid subscriptions are billed at the price, interval, and terms shown at purchase and renew until canceled. You authorize the applicable payment processor to charge your selected method, including applicable taxes. You must keep billing information current. Except where required by law or expressly stated at purchase, charges are non-refundable and we do not provide credits for partial periods. We may change future pricing by giving reasonable advance notice.

9. Suspension, termination, and 60-day export

You may cancel your subscription at any time through the applicable billing settings. We may terminate your subscription or discontinue your account for convenience by giving at least 14 days' prior notice. We may immediately suspend, restrict, or terminate access when reasonably necessary because of nonpayment, a Terms violation, unlawful or harmful content, a security threat, legal process, or risk to Bodek, the Service, or others.

When your subscription or account is terminated, or when you cancel it, normal access to the Service ends on the effective date. For the following 60 days, the account owner may download a full ZIP export of files that remain available to us. The export excludes content you already deleted, content removed for legal or safety reasons, and third-party-stored content that we cannot access. After 60 days, we may permanently delete the account and remaining content without recovery. You are responsible for completing and verifying your export before the deadline. Legal retention duties may require us to preserve limited information longer.

10. Bodek property and feedback

The Service, software, branding, interfaces, and related materials belong to Bodek or its licensors and are protected by law. These Terms do not transfer any ownership to you. You may not copy, reverse engineer, bypass, or commercially exploit the Service except as law expressly permits. If you provide feedback, you allow us to use it without restriction or compensation.

11. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." BODEK DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE SECURE, UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT CONTENT WILL NOT BE LOST OR ALTERED.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BODEK AND ITS OWNERS, AFFILIATES, EMPLOYEES, AND PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS; OR THIRD-PARTY CONDUCT. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF $100 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so only lawful limitations apply.

12. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Bodek and its owners, affiliates, employees, and providers from claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, and reasonable legal fees arising from your content, use of the Service, connected storage, violation of these Terms or law, or infringement of another person's rights. We may control the defense and settlement of any covered claim.

13. General terms

New York law governs these Terms, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute not resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York, New York, and each party consents to their jurisdiction. Before filing a claim, you agree to give us written notice and 30 days to attempt an informal resolution. The prevailing party may recover costs and reasonable attorneys' fees where permitted by law. To the extent permitted by law, any claim must be filed within one year after it arose or it is permanently barred.

We may update these Terms and will provide reasonable notice of material changes. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the revised Terms. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective. Our failure to enforce a term is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them in connection with a reorganization, financing, sale, or transfer of the Service. These Terms and any plan-specific terms are the entire agreement concerning the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

We are not liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including internet or utility failures, provider outages, disasters, labor disputes, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, or cyberattacks.
