Samenvatting
Wie Lovd mag gebruiken
U moet minimaal 16 jaar oud zijn. U moet juiste registratiegegevens opgeven en uw inloggegevens veilig bewaren, en u bent verantwoordelijk voor wat er onder uw account gebeurt.
Prijs en facturering
- Explorer is gratis, met 500 MB opslag. Curator kost €1 per maand of €8 per jaar voor 5 GB. Archivist kost €3 per maand of €30 per jaar voor 50 GB.
- Prijzen zijn in euro's. In het Verenigd Koninkrijk en de EU zijn ze inclusief btw; elders ziet u eventuele belastingen bij het afrekenen, voordat u betaalt.
- Betalingen worden verwerkt door Polar, onze Merchant of Record. Door u te abonneren gaat u ook akkoord met de servicevoorwaarden van Polar.
- Abonnementen worden vooraf gefactureerd, per maand of per jaar, afhankelijk van de periode die u kiest.
- Abonnementen worden aan het einde van elke factuurperiode automatisch verlengd, totdat u opzegt.
- Er is geen restitutie voor een deel van een factuurperiode. We kunnen prijzen wijzigen met een kennisgeving 30 dagen vooraf.
Opzeggen en de alleen-lezenperiode van 90 dagen
U kunt op elk moment opzeggen. Uw toegang loopt door tot het einde van de factuurperiode. Daarna hebt u 90 dagen alleen-lezentoegang: u kunt al uw foto's en collecties bekijken en downloaden, maar niets nieuws uploaden. Voordat de 90 dagen aflopen, sturen we herinneringen per e-mail en stellen we een volledige export van uw inhoud beschikbaar. U kunt zich tijdens de 90 dagen op elk moment opnieuw abonneren om volledige toegang te herstellen. Doet u dat niet, dan wordt uw inhoud na een laatste melding verwijderd.
Uw account sluiten
U kunt uw account verwijderen in uw accountinstellingen of door contact met ons op te nemen. Daarna hebt u 7 dagen om van gedachten te veranderen; in die tijd wordt er niets verwijderd. Vervolgens worden uw inhoud, uw profiel en uw account definitief verwijderd uit onze actieve systemen, en back-ups worden binnen 90 dagen gewist. Een actief abonnement wordt opgezegd op het moment dat de verwijdering ingaat, en er worden geen betalingen meer afgeschreven. U krijgt geen restitutie voor de rest van de periode waarvoor u al hebt betaald. Dit doet geen afbreuk aan een recht dat de wet u geeft om een nieuw abonnement te herroepen. We verwijderen uw persoonsgegevens uit de administratie van onze betalingsaanbieder, maar facturen en transactiegegevens blijven bewaard zolang de belasting- en boekhoudwetgeving dat vereist.
We kunnen uw account ook opschorten of sluiten, bijvoorbeeld als u deze voorwaarden schendt of als het account langer dan 12 maanden niet is gebruikt (na voorafgaande kennisgeving). Daarna kunnen we uw inhoud verwijderen.
Uw inhoud
Uw foto's blijven van u. U geeft ons een beperkte licentie om uw inhoud op te slaan, te back-uppen, te tonen en te verwerken (bijvoorbeeld om miniaturen te maken), alleen om de dienst te leveren. Die licentie eindigt wanneer u de inhoud verwijdert of uw account sluit. U bent er zelf verantwoordelijk voor dat u het recht hebt om te uploaden en te delen wat u uploadt, dat u de privacy van de mensen op uw foto's respecteert en dat u uw eigen back-ups bewaart.
Toegestaan gebruik
U mag het volgende niet uploaden of delen: materiaal van seksueel kindermisbruik (uploads worden automatisch gescand en overtredingen worden gemeld bij de autoriteiten), naaktheid of seksueel expliciet materiaal, geweld of gruwelijke beelden, haat of discriminatie, inhoud die inbreuk maakt op de rechten van anderen, illegale inhoud, intimidatie of bedreigingen, of malware. U mag ook niet meerdere accounts aanmaken om beperkingen te omzeilen, uw inloggegevens delen, proberen toegang te krijgen tot accounts van anderen, de dienst met geautomatiseerde tools uitlezen, het platform verstoren of de dienst zonder toestemming doorverkopen.
Als u deze regels overtreedt, kunnen we inhoud verwijderen, een waarschuwing geven, uw account opschorten of sluiten en illegale inhoud melden. U kunt binnen 14 dagen bezwaar maken door een e-mail te sturen naar support@lovd.app.
Grenzen aan onze aansprakelijkheid
De dienst wordt geleverd zoals hij is, zonder garanties. Voor zover de wet dat maximaal toestaat, zijn we niet aansprakelijk voor indirecte schade, gevolgschade of gegevensverlies, en is onze totale aansprakelijkheid beperkt tot het bedrag dat u ons hebt betaald in de 12 maanden vóór de vordering. Deze beperkingen gelden niet waar het consumentenrecht van de EU ze verbiedt. Als u consument in de EU bent, behoudt u al uw dwingende rechten.
Toepasselijk recht
Op deze voorwaarden is Nederlands recht van toepassing. Consumenten in de EU kunnen een procedure starten bij de rechter in hun eigen land of in Nederland. Voor alle anderen worden geschillen voorgelegd aan de rechter in Amsterdam.

7. Your Content
Ownership
You retain all ownership rights to content you upload to Lovd. We do not claim ownership of your photos or other content.
License to Us
By uploading content, you grant us a limited license to store and back up your content, display it to you and users you've shared with, process it (e.g., generate thumbnails, optimize for display), and transfer it for service operation purposes. This license exists only to provide our services and ends when you delete your content or close your account.
Your Responsibilities
You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to upload and share content, respecting the privacy of individuals in your photos, obtaining necessary consents for photos of others, and maintaining your own backups of important content.
8. Privacy and Data Protection
Our collection, use, and protection of your personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy, which complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws. In short: we process your data to provide our services, we do not sell your personal data, you have rights to access, correct, and delete your data, and we implement appropriate security measures.
9. Intellectual Property
Our Property
lovd, our logo, website design, and service features are our intellectual property. You may not copy, modify, or distribute them without permission.
Copyright Complaints
If you believe content on lovd infringes your copyright, contact us at support@lovd.app with: identification of the copyrighted work, the location of the infringing content, your contact information, a statement of good-faith belief, a statement of accuracy under penalty of perjury, and your signature.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties
Our services are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free service. We do not guarantee that our services will meet your requirements or that any content will be preserved indefinitely.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
- We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages
- Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim
- We are not liable for data loss; you are responsible for maintaining backups
These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory and even if we were advised of the possibility of such damages.
Note: These limitations do not apply where prohibited by EU consumer protection law. If you are an EU consumer, you retain all mandatory rights under applicable law.
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from your use of our services, your content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.
13. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms on our website, emailing your registered address, and displaying a notice when you log in. Continued use of our services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
14. Termination
By You
You may cancel your subscription or close your account at any time.
Subscription cancellation: You receive a 90-day read-only grace period of viewing access (see Section 4). Before it ends, we send reminders and a complete export of your content. If you do not resubscribe before the grace period ends, your content will be removed after a final notification.
Account closure (deletion): You may request full account deletion through your account settings or by contacting us. Upon closure, you have 7 days to change your mind, during which nothing is removed. After that your content, profile and account are permanently removed from our active systems, and backups are purged within 90 days. If you have an active subscription, it is cancelled when the deletion takes effect, and no further payments are taken. Closing your account does not entitle you to a refund for the rest of the billing period you have already paid for; this does not affect any right you have by law to withdraw from a new subscription. We remove your personal details from our payment provider's records, but invoices and transaction records are kept for as long as tax and accounting law requires.
By Us
We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, engage in illegal activity, create risk or legal exposure for us, or keep an account inactive for more than 12 months (with prior notice).
Effect of Termination
Upon termination, your license to use our services ends, we may delete your content, and provisions that should survive (indemnification, limitation of liability, governing law) remain in effect.
15. Governing Law and Disputes
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands, without regard to conflict of law principles.

- Others: Disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Amsterdam, Netherlands
16. Digital Services Act Compliance

- Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Lovd.
- Severability: If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect.
- No Waiver: Our failure to enforce any right does not waive our right to enforce it later.
