Terms of Service

Last updated: 15 November 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Afshin Nahian Tripto ("we", "us"), an individual developer based in Bangladesh, for the use of Dearly at https://album.triptex.me and https://photo-album.triptex.me (the "Service"). By signing in or using the Service you accept these terms, our Privacy Policy and our Content and Copyright Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.

1. The Service

The Service lets you make occasion photo albums in your browser, export them as a PDF or a slideshow video with music, and publish an album as a web link.

2. Who can use it

  • You must be at least [18] years old.
  • You need a Google account to sign in. You are responsible for activity on your account; keep your Google account secure.
  • One person, one account. Don't create accounts to get around limits or a suspension.

3. Free service, limits and changes

  • The Service is currently free. A signed-in account may host 1 album with up to 6 photos. We may change these limits.
  • We may add paid features later. We will never charge you without your clear agreement first, and paid features will come with their own terms, shown before you pay.
  • We may change, pause or stop any part of the Service, including the free tier. If we plan to shut the Service down or remove hosting of your albums, we will give at least [30] days' notice by email or in the app so you can download your work, unless we can't for legal or security reasons.

4. Your content

"Your content" means photos, text and other material you upload or create in the Service.

You keep ownership. We claim no ownership of your content.

The licence you give us. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, resize, process, display and transmit your content, only as needed to run the Service for you: to save your albums, build exports, and show a published album to people who have its link. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies in backups for the period in our Privacy Policy and copies we must keep for legal reasons (for example, evidence of illegal content). We don't sell your content, use it for advertising, use it to train AI, or show it in our marketing without your separate written permission.

Your promises. For everything you upload or publish, you promise that:

  1. You own it or have permission from the owner (for example, the photographer) to use it this way.
  2. You have the consent of every identifiable person shown, or of a parent or guardian for anyone under 18, to include them in the album and, if you publish it, to share it with people who have the link.
  3. It doesn't break the law or our Content and Copyright Policy.

You are responsible for your content and for who you share links and passwords with.

5. Published albums

  • A published album can be viewed by anyone who has the link. Links can be forwarded. A password adds protection but is not a guarantee. Don't publish anything you need to keep private.
  • You can unpublish or delete an album at any time. We can't recall copies that viewers already downloaded or screenshotted.
  • We ask search engines not to index published albums [via noindex], but we can't control what others do with a link.

6. Prohibited content and conduct

Don't use the Service to upload, publish or share:

  • Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or any sexualised content involving a minor. We remove it, keep the evidence the law requires, close the account and report it to the authorities.
  • Intimate or sexual images of anyone shared without their consent, including deepfakes.
  • Nudity or sexually explicit content of any kind.
  • Content that infringes copyright, trademarks or other rights, including photos you didn't take without permission.
  • Content that harasses, threatens, bullies, defames or exposes someone's private information (doxxing).
  • Hate speech, violent extremism, or content that promotes violence or self-harm.
  • Anything illegal in Bangladesh or where you live, or content that promotes illegal activity.
  • Malware, phishing, spam, or links meant to deceive.

Also don't: try to break, overload or scrape the Service; get around limits, passwords or bot checks; or access other people's accounts or albums without permission.

7. Our right to remove content and suspend accounts

We may remove or disable access to content, unpublish albums, or suspend or close accounts, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe the content or conduct breaks these terms or the law, puts people at risk, or exposes us to legal liability. Where it's safe and lawful, we'll tell you what we did and why, and you can reply to us (contact address coming soon) to ask us to review it. We don't pre-screen content and have no duty to monitor it, but we act on reports.

8. Reports and copyright takedowns

Anyone can report an album with the "Report" link on it or by emailing us (contact address coming soon). Copyright owners can send a takedown notice. We remove content that infringes, let users send a counter-notice, and close the accounts of repeat infringers. The full process is in the Content and Copyright Policy.

9. Stock photos, music and credits

The Service offers stock photos from Unsplash and music licensed under CC0, public domain or Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY). Credits are shown in the app and added to exports where required. You may use these in your albums and exports for personal use. Don't remove the credits we add, and don't sell stock photos or music on their own. Using them outside the Service is subject to their own licences (the Unsplash License and each track's licence). See Credits.

10. Our content

The Service, its software, designs, templates and branding belong to us or our licensors. You may use templates and designs inside your albums and exports. You may not copy the Service itself, resell it, or reuse our templates in a competing product.

11. Deleting your account

You can delete your account at any time from the account settings. This deletes your profile, your albums and the photos stored on our servers, and unpublishes your album links. Drafts stored only in your browser stay on your device until you clear them. Backup copies expire as set out in our Privacy Policy. We may keep records of reports and takedowns as described there.

12. No warranty

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, uninterrupted service or that data will never be lost. Keep your own copies of your photos. The Service is not a backup service. Print colours and quality of exports may differ by printer and device.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows:

  • We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, lost photos or lost memories, even if we were told they were possible.
  • Our total liability for all claims about the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) [USD 50 / BDT 5,000].
  • Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, such as liability for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or your rights as a consumer under mandatory local law.

14. Indemnity

If someone makes a claim against us because of content you uploaded or published, or because you broke these terms or the law, you agree to cover our reasonable losses and costs (including legal fees), to the extent the law allows.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We'll post the new version here and update the date. For material changes, including the introduction of paid plans that affect what you get for free, we'll give at least [14] days' notice by email or in the app. If you keep using the Service after changes take effect, you accept them. If you don't, delete your account.

16. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of Bangladesh. The courts of [Dhaka], Bangladesh, have jurisdiction, except that if you are a consumer living elsewhere you may also have the right to bring a claim in your local courts under mandatory local law. Before going to court, please email us (contact address coming soon) so we can try to resolve the problem informally within [30] days.

17. General

If part of these terms is unenforceable, the rest still applies. Our not enforcing a right is not a waiver. You may not transfer these terms; we may transfer them if the Service is transferred, and will tell you. These terms, the Privacy Policy and the Content and Copyright Policy are the whole agreement between us about the Service.
