Photoburst is operated by CTINX SA, Switzerland ("Photoburst", "we", "us").
Contact: hello@photoburst.app.
By using Photoburst you agree to these terms.
2. What Photoburst does
Photoburst turns photos and video clips you select into an interactive album (a "burst") with music,
and an optional title and map flyover intro (built from locations you type in — we do not read location
data from your photos). You can preview a burst, save it to your account, and share it with anyone, in
or outside the app: recipients don't need an account or an install to watch — the link plays in their
browser — and they can install Photoburst for the full experience.
3. Your account
You can create and preview bursts without an account. Saving or sharing requires signing in — with
Apple, Google, or an email address and password. You are responsible for activity under your
account. You must be at least 16 years old, or have a parent or guardian's consent.
4. Free trial and plans
Your first 14 days are a free trial with everything included. No payment details are
required, and the trial never turns into a paid subscription by itself — paying always requires
you to actively subscribe. The trial is tied to your account and starts when you first save or
share.
After the trial, creating new bursts requires a paid plan. Bursts
you already created remain viewable and shareable for their normal lifetime, and viewing
bursts you receive is always free.
On the Photoburst plan, bursts expire 7 days after creation.
On the Keep Forever plan, your bursts are retained for as long as your
subscription is active, up to a fair-use limit of 1000 bursts. "Forever" describes the intent — no scheduled expiry — not a promise that outlives your
subscription or the service itself; see sections 7 and 9.
If your Keep Forever subscription lapses (cancellation or failed renewal), your content does not
vanish abruptly: we notify you, and your bursts transition to the standard expiry rules with a
grace period to re-subscribe or save your originals.
Prices, taxes, billing period, and cancellation are shown at purchase. Subscriptions renew until
cancelled; you can cancel anytime, effective at the end of the paid period.
5. Payments
Purchases are processed by our payment partner acting as merchant of record — they are the seller of
the subscription, handle payment data, applicable taxes, invoices, and refunds under their checkout
terms, which are shown at purchase. We never see or store your card details.
Every purchase is covered by our 14-day money-back guarantee — see the
Refund Policy.
6. Your content
Your photos and videos remain yours. We claim no ownership, and we don't use your content
for anything except delivering the service.
You grant us the limited technical licence needed to store, process (resize, transcode, assemble
bursts, generate flyovers), and deliver your content to the people you share it
with. Nothing more.
Bursts are created by their users: the person who creates and shares a burst is responsible for
its content. We do not pre-review shared content.
Only upload content you have the right to use, and share bursts that include other people only
with their consent where required. Don't upload content that is illegal, infringes others'
rights, or is abusive. We may remove such content and suspend accounts that violate this.
Rights holders can send takedown notices to the contact address above.
Music and sound provided inside Photoburst belongs to us or our licensors and may only be used
within bursts created in the service — it may not be extracted or used elsewhere.
Create your own song. A song you compose in Photoburst is produced by an AI music model from what you
type and the moments you pick. It stays inside Photoburst: you may use it in your own bursts. It is not
offered for download and may not be extracted or used elsewhere, and other users cannot pick it. You are
responsible for the words you provide (no copyrighted lyrics, no imitation of a named artist). Every request
passes our music provider's content filters, which decline requests that would reproduce existing works or
imitate an artist's voice. Composing is limited to 10 songs a day per account for now; a request our provider declines
or that fails on our side does not count. We may change this limit.
When you share a burst, anyone who holds the link can view it and react to it — whether you sent
it to them, someone forwarded it to them, or (however unlikely, since identifiers are long and
random) someone guessed it. Links are never listed publicly — but share links as thoughtfully as
you would the photos and videos themselves.
7. Deletion and expiry
You can delete a burst at any time; deletion makes it unavailable to recipients immediately.
Deleted bursts stay recoverable by you for 30 days, then are permanently erased.
Expired content (per your plan) is likewise permanently removed after its recovery window. We show
warnings before anything is permanently deleted — but you are responsible for keeping the
originals of anything you upload.
8. Our software and brand
Photoburst — the app, its design, code, and the Photoburst name — belongs to CTINX SA. Your use of
the service doesn't grant you any rights in it beyond these terms, and you may not copy, modify,
reverse engineer, or build derivative services from it, except where law expressly permits.
9. Service changes and availability
Photoburst is under active development. Features may change, and availability is not guaranteed. We
will communicate material changes that affect paid plans, and if we ever discontinue the service we will
give Keep Forever subscribers reasonable notice to retrieve their content.
10. Fair use of the service
Don't abuse the service: no attempts to disrupt or overload it, no automated scraping of shared
bursts, no reselling access, no circumventing plan limits. We may apply technical limits to protect the
service for everyone.
11. Suspension and termination
You can stop using Photoburst and request account deletion at any time. We may suspend or end
accounts that violate these terms. We may also decline, suspend, or end access where we consider it
necessary — for legal, security, or operational reasons, at our discretion. Where reasonably possible,
and always for accounts in good standing, we'll give you notice so you can retrieve your content
before access ends.
12. Indemnification
If a third party brings a claim against us arising from content you uploaded or shared, or from
your breach of these terms, you agree to indemnify and hold CTINX SA harmless from the resulting
damages, costs, and reasonable legal fees.
13. Liability
To the extent permitted by law, Photoburst is provided "as is", and our liability is limited to the
amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. We are not liable for indirect damages, for
content created or shared by users, or for loss of content where you no longer hold your originals
(see section 7).
14. Governing law
These terms are governed by Swiss law, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. Place of jurisdiction
is Geneva, Switzerland.
15. Severability
If any provision of these terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in
full effect, and the invalid provision is replaced by a valid one that comes closest to its intent.
16. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms; the "Last updated" date reflects the current version. If a change
materially reduces your rights, we'll announce it in the app before it takes effect. Continued use
after an update constitutes acceptance.
