Terms of Service

1. What Event Snaps Collective is

Event Snaps Collective (“the Service”, “we”, “us”) is a photo scavenger-hunt app for events — weddings, debuts, showers, birthdays, reunions, anniversaries, graduations, corporate gatherings, and similar. An event host (the couple, organizer, or someone organizing on their behalf) sets up an event with a list of photo prompts. Guests scan a QR code, type their first name, and use their phone's camera to complete the prompts. Every photo a guest takes is uploaded full-resolution to a shared gallery that the host can browse, filter, favorite, and export.

2. No accounts, no passwords

Event Snaps Collective does not use traditional accounts. Guests don't register or set a password: joining an event stores a random device token in your browser (as a cookie) that identifies your phone to that specific event, together with the first name you typed in. This token is what lets you come back to the hunt later and delete your own shots. Because there is no password, anyone with access to your phone or that browser session can act as you within that event. Hosts similarly access their event's gallery with a per-event host link/token rather than a username and password.

3. Guest content

You retain ownership of the photos you take and upload through Event Snaps Collective. By uploading a photo, you grant the event host, and Event Snaps Collective as the service operator, a non-exclusive license to store, display, reproduce, and export that photo for the purposes of running the event's gallery (including in a downloadable ZIP export the host may generate). You're responsible for what you photograph and upload — don't upload content that is illegal, harassing, sexually explicit, or that you don't have the right to share.

You can delete your own shots at any time from the “my shots” view (/e/<event>/shots) while your session is active on that device. Hosts can also remove any photo from their event's gallery.

4. Host responsibilities

If you create and run an event, you are the “host.” You're responsible for:

• who you invite and share your event's guest link/QR code with;
• making sure the people you invite are appropriate recipients of the photo prompts you set, and that you have a lawful basis to collect photos of your guests (including any minors present at the event — common at Philippine weddings and family gatherings — for whom a parent or guardian's awareness/consent may be required under applicable law);
• keeping your host link/token confidential, since it is the only thing gating access to your event's gallery;
• how you use, share, print, or further distribute the photos your guests upload, once exported from the Service.

5. Availability and the offline queue

The guest hunt is designed to keep working with a spotty venue wifi/cell signal: shots are queued on the guest's device and uploaded in the background once a connection is available. We make reasonable efforts to keep the Service available and to deliver every queued shot, but we don't guarantee uninterrupted availability, and a shot that never gets a chance to sync (e.g. the app is closed and the device never reconnects before local storage is cleared) may be lost.

6. Limitation of liability

The Service is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Event Snaps Collective and its operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service, including but not limited to lost, corrupted, or undelivered photos, or unauthorized access to an event resulting from a host or guest failing to keep their link or device secure. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount, if any, you paid us for the event in question.

7. Termination and event data

We may suspend or archive an event that violates these terms or applicable law. Hosts may request their event and its photos be deleted at any time; see our Privacy Policy for how photo data is retained and deleted today.

8. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time, for example as the Service adds features or as legal requirements change. We'll update the “last updated” date above when we do. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept the revised terms.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. [Placeholder — venue/jurisdiction for disputes to be confirmed by counsel.]
