JourneyLog Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms & Eligibility

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the JourneyLog mobile application or related software produced by GoShareTheJourney® ("we", "us", or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and our JourneyLog Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not download, install, or use our software. You represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction (or have obtained consent from a parent or legal guardian).

2. 100% User Media Ownership & Zero Server Rendering

You retain sole, unconditional copyright and ownership of all media, documents, and personal data you create, import, or curate inside JourneyLog. This includes your photographs, video clips, GPS coordinates, journal descriptions, scrapbook layouts, and generated photobooks.

• Zero Server Rendering: JourneyLog executes 100% of its computational rendering, GPS route plotting, 60fps MP4 video generation, and 300 DPI vector PDF photobook compilation directly on your device's processor and GPU. There are no remote rendering servers or cloud processing pipelines.
• 100% Saved and Stored on the App: All your trip scrapbooks, GPS track recordings, captions, and travel logs are saved locally within JourneyLog's sandboxed SQLite database on your device. We do not operate cloud databases and never copy, ingest, or store your photos or travel files on any server.
• No License Grant to Us: Because JourneyLog operates 100% locally on your device with zero server rendering, you do not grant GoShareTheJourney® any license, transfer, or right to use, view, touch, process, modify, distribute, or publicize your personal media.
• Locally Generated Assets: All 300 DPI vector PDF photobooks, exported video files, and map animations are rendered entirely on your device and are exclusively your intellectual property.
• User Responsibility: You represent that you own or possess the necessary rights and permissions to any photos or audio that you import or share through our tools.

3. Studio Intellectual Property & License Grant

All rights, title, and interest in and to the applications—including compiled source code, visual shaders, user interfaces, vector photobook templates, stickers, decorative stamps, typography pairings, sound effects, and trademarks—are the exclusive intellectual property of GoShareTheJourney®.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, GoShareTheJourney® grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and execute the applications for personal, non-commercial travel documentation.

4. Restrictions & Acceptable Use

You agree that you will not, directly or indirectly:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the applications.
• Copy, modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the application frameworks or proprietary vector templates.
• Rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, or distribute the applications or any extracted software component.
• Use the software for any fraudulent, unauthorized, or unlawful purpose under local, state, federal, or international law.

5. GPS Tracking & Navigation Safety Disclaimer (Recreation Only)

6. Zero Server Rendering, Local Storage & Exported Media

JourneyLog is engineered entirely around client-side processing:

• Zero Server Rendering: All 300 DPI vector PDF photobooks, 60fps MP4 video animations, 3D travel routes, and scrapbook layouts are compiled and rendered 100% locally on your smartphone using your device's GPU and CPU. We do not operate remote cloud rendering servers or cloud processing queues.
• Saved on the App & User Backup Responsibility: Because all trip data, photos, GPS tracks, and projects are stored exclusively in the app's local sandbox on your device and are never uploaded to a cloud server, you are responsible for maintaining device-level backups (e.g., via iOS iCloud Backup or Android backup). We do not have access to your local database and cannot recover data from a lost or wiped device.
• Third-Party Sharing: When you choose to export or share photobooks or videos through the operating system's native share sheet (to services such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Google Drive, or email), you are solely responsible for compliance with the privacy terms of those third-party services.

7. Purchases & Store Billing Terms

If our applications offer paid licenses, one-time unlock purchases, or auto-renewing subscriptions:

• Billing Provider: Payment processing is managed exclusively by Apple Inc. (via the iOS App Store) or Google LLC (via Google Play Store). Your purchase is subject to the applicable store's terms and billing rules.
• Refunds: Refund requests must be submitted directly to Apple or Google pursuant to their respective customer refund policies.
