Terms of Use

Effective 11-01-2026. These terms are an agreement between you and imgvault ("imgvault", "we", "us").

1. Using imgvault

imgvault lets you store encrypted photos and videos. By creating a key or using the service you agree to these terms. You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live if that's higher.

2. Your key and passcode

Your files are encrypted in your browser with a key file and a passcode that only you hold. We never receive your passcode. If you lose your key file or forget your passcode, you won't be able to open your vault, and we can't issue you a new key or reset your passcode. You're responsible for keeping your key file and passcode safe and for anything done with them.

3. Content violation

Every file you upload must comply with service's audit to:

• comply with all terms and/or the laws;
• comply with a valid legal obligation, such as a court order or a mandatory report to authorities; and
• protect the safety of people and the security of the service.

4. Prohibited content and conduct

You may not upload, store, or share through imgvault any content that is illegal where you are, or in the United States. That includes:

• Child sexual abuse material, or any sexualized depiction of a minor, real or synthetic. We have zero tolerance for this. Violations provided to (NCMEC) and law enforcement.
• Intimate images of a person shared or stored without that person's consent, including "deepfakes" and images obtained through hidden recording, hacking, or coercion.
• Content that infringes someone else's copyright, trademark, or other rights.
• Content made or obtained through a crime, or used to threaten, harass, stalk, extort, or defraud anyone.
• Content that promotes or depicts terrorism or violent extremism in violation of law.
• Malware or any file meant to damage or gain unauthorized access to systems.

You also may not try to get around the service's security, access a vault that isn't yours, overload the service, or use it to store data for anyone who hasn't agreed to these terms.

5. Restricted items

Service may restrict an item in your vault if it may break these terms. A restriction isn't a finding that you did anything wrong or that the content is illegal.

A restricted item shows as unavailable. You can still download your copy; once you do, it's removed from your vault.

We keep restricted items, and related records, for as long as we need to for legal and safety reasons. Where the law requires it, we report content to the NCMEC or to law enforcement. We may also suspend a vault or refuse service for serious or repeated violations.

6. Storage and availability

Files can be up to 100 MB each. We may change limits, or end the service with reasonable notice so you can download your files. Keep your own backups. We aren't responsible for files you can't open because a key or passcode was lost.

7. Disclaimers and liability

imgvault is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for loss of data, and our total liability is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the past 12 months or US$50.

9. Changes and governing law

We may update these terms; the effective date above will change, and continuing to use imgvault means you accept the update.
