Terms of Service

Last updated October 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and the developer of Keeps (“Keeps”, “we”, “us”) governing your use of the Keeps app, the browser camera at keeps.film, and the Keeps service. By creating or joining a film, or otherwise using Keeps, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use Keeps.

1. The app licence

Your right to install and use the Keeps app is licensed, not sold, to you. On iPhone that licence is Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement; on Android it is subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. These Terms add to the store’s terms and govern the Keeps service — films, photo sharing, storage, and purchases. If a store’s terms and these Terms conflict for matters the store’s terms cover, the store’s terms control; for the service, these Terms control. The browser camera at keeps.film is part of the service, not a store app: no store licence applies to it, and these Terms alone govern it.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age of digital consent in your country (up to 16 in parts of the EU), to use Keeps. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use Keeps only with the involvement of a parent or guardian who accepts these Terms.

3. Your account

Keeps needs an account for everything it does — hosting a film or joining one. There is no guest mode: a photo belongs to the account that took it, which is what lets you keep your photos if you change phones. You sign in — in the app or in the browser camera — with Google, with an email address and password, or, on an Apple device, with Apple, and you choose a display name that the other members of a film see. You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping access to it secure. Provide accurate information and do not impersonate others or use another person’s account without permission.

4. The service

Keeps lets you create a shared “film”, invite others, and capture photos together. A film has a host, a start and an end, a limit on how many people may join, and a limit on how many photos each person may take. Photos stay hidden until the film is revealed — by the host, or automatically when the film ends — and are then visible to the members of that film. A host may make a film’s gallery private, in which case the host sees every photo and each guest sees only their own.

Anyone who has a film’s invite link or code can see the film’s title, cover image, and how many people have joined, and can join until the film ends or is revealed. Share invites only with the people you want in the film.

A guest with an invite can also join and shoot from the browser camera at keeps.film without installing the app. It takes photos only and needs an internet connection; the photos it takes are part of the film like any other, and viewing or saving a film’s photos needs the app. Features, limits, and plans may change over time as we develop the service.

5. Your content and ownership

You keep ownership of the photos and other content you create or upload (“Your Content”). We do not claim ownership of it. You are responsible for Your Content and for having the rights necessary to share it.

6. Licence you grant to us

You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, process, and display Your Content solely to operate, secure, and improve the service — for example to store photos, generate the previews and thumbnails the app shows, apply a rotation you choose, prepare a copy for saving or sharing, and deliver them to the members of your film. This licence is not for advertising and we do not sell Your Content. It ends when you delete Your Content or your account, except for copies that may remain briefly in backups or that we must keep by law.

7. Licence you grant to other members

When you add photos to a film, you grant the members who can see them the right to view and, after the reveal, save those photos through the app. This sharing is the core purpose of Keeps. Only add photos to a film if you are comfortable with its members keeping their own copies. We cannot control what members do with photos once they have saved them.

8. Your responsibilities

By using Keeps you represent that:

• you own Your Content or have all rights and permissions needed to share it;
• you have the consent of people who are identifiable in your photos to capture and share those photos with a film’s members;
• Your Content does not infringe anyone’s rights or break any law.

9. Acceptable use

We operate Keeps with zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive behaviour. You must not upload, share, or use Keeps for content or conduct that:

• is illegal, or sexualises or exploits minors in any way;
• is non-consensual intimate imagery, harassing, hateful, threatening, or invades others’ privacy;
• infringes intellectual-property or other rights;
• contains malware, or attempts to disrupt, reverse-engineer, or gain unauthorised access to the service.

10. Event host responsibility and removal

Keeps is a private event-photo service, not a public social network. There is no public directory of films and no public gallery; a film is reachable only by the people its host invites. Hosts are responsible for deciding who to invite and for managing their event. A host may remove a participant, which permanently deletes that participant’s photos from the film and prevents them from rejoining, or delete the entire film. If you believe content infringes your rights or is unlawful, contact us using the details below. We may act where required by law.

11. Purchases

A film for you and up to five guests is free. Larger films, and extra guest capacity added to an existing film, are optional one-time (consumable) purchases that apply to one film only, up to a maximum of 300 guests per film. Capacity is about the guest list; it does not change how long photos are kept. Purchases are processed by the store you installed Keeps from — Apple’s App Store on iPhone or Google Play on Android — through your store account and are subject to that store’s terms; billing, taxes, and refunds are handled by the store. Because these items are digital content made available immediately, they are generally non-refundable once used, except where a refund is required by the store’s policy or by applicable law. Your mandatory statutory consumer rights are not affected.

12. Content retention and deletion

Photos are kept for up to about one year after a film ends — the same for free and paid films — after which they may be deleted. Save the photos you want to keep to your camera roll after the reveal. If a host removes you from a film, the photos you took in it are deleted immediately. You can delete your account from within the app; that deletes your profile, every film you host and everything in it, and every photo you took in films hosted by other people, apart from copies that may remain briefly in backups and records we must keep by law. See our Privacy Policy for details on how we handle your data.

13. Termination

You may stop using Keeps and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the service or its users. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — such as content licences already granted to members, disclaimers, and limitations of liability — will survive.

14. Disclaimers

Keeps is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that content will never be lost. Keep your own copies of photos that matter to you.

15. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Keeps will not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for loss of data or content, arising from your use of the service. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including your mandatory rights as a consumer.

16. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us against claims and costs arising from Your Content or from your breach of these Terms, to the extent permitted by law.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the service or the law. We will post the updated Terms here with a revised “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Continuing to use Keeps after changes take effect means you accept them.

18. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Czech Republic, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of any mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in your local courts where the law allows. If you are a consumer and we cannot settle a dispute with you directly, you may turn to the Czech Trade Inspection Authority (Česká obchodní inspekce, coi.cz) for out-of-court dispute resolution, or, for a cross-border dispute, to the European Consumer Centre in your country.
