Terms of Service | Celebrate Life Stories

Celebrate Life Stories Mar 28, 2025

These terms of service are a legally binding agreement between CELEBRATE LIFE STORIES (referred to as “COMPANY”, “we”, or “us”) and anyone who uses our products and services (together called “Services”).

By registering for or using the Services in any way, users agree to these terms and any other rules or policies that we may publish on the site. These terms can be updated at any time without notice. They apply to all users of the Services, including those who contribute content, information, or other materials, whether registered or not.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY. BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, USERS AGREE TO FOLLOW THESE TERMS. IF USERS DO NOT AGREE OR CANNOT COMPLY, PLEASE DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE.

We Value Your Privacy. At Celebrate Life Stories, we want Users to feel comfortable sharing personal projects on our platform. We take your privacy seriously and are committed to protecting your information and to ensure User projects are safe:

ACESSING CELEBRATE LIFE STORIES:

The only way to log into the site is through your email account. Passwords must be unique and difficult to guess.
Our site uses the secure HTTPS protocol (indicated by the padlock icon next to the web address) for added security.
Payments are processed through a secure and fully PCI-compliant payment processor.

Database Security:

All projects are encrypted in the database, and only the founders have access. We do not view customers’ projects unless needed for troubleshooting.
All data is securely stored through encryption, and we use strong, random passwords to protect the database and any sensitive information.
We are proactive in securing your data by using the latest protocols to protect your privacy.

Users Control YProjects:

Users have control over who sees your projects. Privacy is embedded in the program, allowing Users to grant or revoke permissions for others to view your stories.
No projects will be published publicly without your express permission.
We do not post projects to any social media platforms. There are no features in the platform that allow this.
Users can download your projects anytime in PDF format, allowing Users to save them in a backup file.

While the possibility exists that something stored online could be accessed (similar to how someone could access your email or personal messages), we are strongly motivated to ensure that everything on our platform remains private.

CHANGES TO TERMS OR SERVICES

We may update the terms at any time, at our sole discretion. If we do so, we’ll post the updated terms in Services or by e-mail communication. Acceptance of the terms will be implied by continued access to and use of the services following an update.

USING THE SERVICES

ELIGIBILITY

Users confirm that Users are 18 years old or older to use the Services. The Services are not intended for anyone under 18. We may refuse to provide the Services to anyone for any reason at our discretion. Users are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Services complies with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

If Users use the Services on behalf of someone else, Users confirm that Users are authorized to accept these terms for that individual, and they agree to be responsible if either of Users violates these terms.

CONTENT LICENSE

Users grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license under any intellectual property rights Users own or control. This license allows us to use, copy, modify, create derivative works from, and otherwise utilize your feedback for any purpose.

CONTENT AND CONTENT RIGHTS

For the purposes of these terms, “content” includes, but is not limited to, any information, data, text, graphics, images, music, software, audio, video, and any works of authorship made available through the Services, including user-generated content. “User content” refers to any content Users create, add, upload, submit, or post to the Services, whether publicly or privately shared.

Users acknowledge that all content accessed through the Services is at your own risk, and Users are solely responsible for any damage or loss resulting from your actions. We do not guarantee that any content Users access on or through the Services will continue to be available.

CONTENT DISCLAIMER

By using the Services, Users understand that Users may come across data, information, applications, materials, and other content from third parties, including user-generated content from other users. This content may contain errors or be offensive, indecent, or objectionable.

We are not obligated to edit or control user content posted by Users or other users and will not be responsible or liable for it. However, the COMPANY may, at any time and without prior notice, screen, remove, edit, or block any user content that, in our sole judgment, violates these terms or is otherwise objectionable.

CONTENT OWNERSHIP

The COMPANY and its licensors exclusively own all rights, titles, and interests in the Services and content, including all associated intellectual property rights. Users acknowledge that the Services and content are protected by copyright, trademark, and other proprietary rights under U.S. and foreign laws.

Users agree not to remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, service mark, or other notices of proprietary rights included in or accompanying the Services or content. Nothing in the Services should be interpreted as granting any license or right to use any content displayed on the Services without the written permission of the COMPANY or the respective third party that may own the content.

RIGHTS AND OWNERSHIP OF USER CONTENT

The COMPANY does not claim ownership of user content, and nothing in these terms restricts your rights to use your own user content. If Users choose to make your user content available to our library within the Services, Users grant the COMPANY a non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, and fully paid license to use, edit, copy, modify, reproduce, distribute, create derivative works from, and publicly display your user content in connection with providing the Services to Users and other users.

This license includes our right to use your user content in connection with materials from our business partners, and Users will not receive any compensation for such use. If your user content includes any biographical information, such as your name, likeness, voice, photograph, or video, Users agree that this license applies to that content as well.

Unless prohibited, Users are waiving and agreeing not to assert any trademarks, copyrights, publicity rights, or moral rights claims related to our alterations of your user content. The COMPANY reserves the right, but is not obligated, to monitor, remove, edit, modify, or otherwise process any content at our discretion, at any time, without notice to you, for any reason, and to remove or block any content from the Services.

RIGHTS IN CONTENT GRANTED BY CELEBRATE LIFE STORIES

Subject to your compliance with these terms, the COMPANY grants Users a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable license to download, view, copy, and display the content solely in connection with your permitted use of the Services and only for Users and your clients. Users are not allowed to resell the content outside of the Services.

Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing with the COMPANY, Users may not use any third-party platforms, other than your own website or social media, to link to or distribute content originating from the website. Distribution of this content on any third-party platform is not permitted.

WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS

We do not have a special relationship with or fiduciary duty to you. Users acknowledge that the COMPANY has no responsibility to monitor which users access the Services, what content Users access, or how Users interpret or use that content.

The Services and content are provided “as is” and “as available” without any warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of title, non-infringement, merchantability, and fitness for a particular purpose. All such warranties are expressly disclaimed.

The Services will be secure or available at any specific time or location;
Any defects or errors will be corrected;
Any content or software available through the Services is free of viruses or harmful components; or
The results of using the Services will meet your requirements.

Your use of the Services is at your own risk. Please note that some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.

Without limiting the generality of the above, the COMPANY makes no representation, warranty, condition, or guarantee that:

The Services will be compatible with your computer, related equipment, or software;
The Services will be available, function without interruption, or be free of errors, or that any errors will be corrected;

Applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

Users are solely responsible and liable for:

Obtaining, configuring, and maintaining all necessary computer hardware, software, telephone services, and other equipment needed to access and use the Services;
Scanning for and preventing the receipt and transmission of viruses, Trojan horses, worms, or other harmful components; and

LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES OR RESOURCES

The Services may contain links to other websites, services, or resources on the Internet. When Users access third-party resources, Users do so at your own risk. These resources are not under our control, and Users acknowledge that we are not responsible or liable for the content, functions, accuracy, legality, appropriateness, or any other aspects of such websites or resources.

The inclusion of any link does not imply any association between us and the operators of those websites. Users further acknowledge and agree that we will not be held responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any content, goods, or services available on or through any such website or resource.

PURCHASES

**FEES**

The COMPANY offers features of the Services that Users can purchase. Descriptions of the features associated with purchases are available through the Services. Each transaction may require Users to provide additional information related to transactions, such as your credit card number, expiration date, and billing and delivery addresses (referred to as payment information). Users represent and warrant that Users have the legal right to use all payment methods included in your payment information.

The amounts due for transactions through the Services will be presented to Users before Users place your order. If Users choose to initiate a transaction, Users authorize us to provide your payment information to third-party service providers to complete your transaction, and Users agree to:

(a) Pay the applicable fees and taxes;

(b) Allow COMPANY to charge your credit card or third-party payment processing account (such as your account on an App Store or distribution platform like the Apple App Store or Google Play Store) for verification, preauthorization, and payment purposes;

(c) Bear any additional charges that your app provider, bank, or other financial service providers may impose, along with any taxes or fees applicable to your order.

Your order is not binding on COMPANY until accepted and confirmed by the COMPANY. All payments made are non-refundable and non-transferable, except as expressly provided in these terms.

If Users have any concerns or objections regarding charges, Users agree to address them with us first and not to cancel or dispute any credit card or third-party payment processing charges unless Users have made a reasonable attempt to resolve the matter directly with the COMPANY.

The COMPANY reserves the right to not process or cancel your order in certain circumstances, including but not limited to declining credit cards, suspected fraudulent activity, or any other situation deemed appropriate at the COMPANY’s sole discretion. The COMPANY also reserves the right to verify your identity in connection with your order. Users may need to provide additional information to verify your identity before completing your transaction. Such information is included within the definition of payment information. The COMPANY reserves the right not to charge Users or to refund charges for any orders that we do not process or that we unilaterally cancel.

SUBSCRIPTIONS, WHEN AVAIALABLE, AUTOMATICALLY RENEW

All amounts are due and payable:

(a) At the time Users place your order, and

(b) For monthly or yearly subscriptions:

(i) At the beginning of the subscription, and

(ii) At the beginning of each automatic renewal, using the Payment Information.

Users must cancel monthly or yearly subscriptions before the automatic renewal date to avoid being charged for the next subscription. Users can cancel the renewal at any time. Please note that Users will not receive a refund for the fees already paid for current subscription, and Users will continue to receive the Services ordered until the end of that current subscription period.

CHANGES TO PRICE TERMS FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS

The COMPANY reserves the right to change its pricing terms for subscriptions at any time. The COMPANY will notify Users in advance of such changes becoming effective. Changes to the pricing terms will not apply retroactively and will only apply to subscription renewals after the new pricing terms have been communicated to you. If Users do not agree with the changes to the COMPANY’s pricing terms, Users may choose not to renew subscriptions in accordance with the section titled “Subscriptions Automatically Renew.”

TERM and TERMINATION

TERM

The term of the Services (referred to as “the Term”) will commence on the effective date and continue until terminated by either Users or the COMPANY.

TERMINATION

Users may terminate your access to the Services at any time by closing the account. If Users are accessing the Services without an account, termination of access occurs when Users close the browser containing the Services.

The COMPANY may terminate access to the Services by notifying Users in writing, including via email, and closing the account. Upon termination, Users must cease all use of the Services. COMPANY may terminate your access to and use of any or all parts of the Services, at our sole discretion, at any time, with or without cause, effective immediately and without notice to users. This may result in the forfeiture and destruction of all information associated with user accounts. Upon any termination, discontinuation, or cancellation of the Services or accounts, all provisions of these terms that by their nature should survive will survive, including but not limited to ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, limitations of liability, and dispute resolution provisions.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

GOVERNING LAW

These terms and any actions related to them will be governed by the laws of the United States of America, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE

Users and the COMPANY agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these terms, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, or the use of the Services or content (collectively referred to as “disputes”), will be settled by binding arbitration. However, each party retains the right to:

(a) Bring an individual action in small claims court, and

(b) Seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights, referred to herein as the “IP Protection Action.”

Without limiting the preceding sentence, Users will also have the right to litigate any other dispute if Users provide the COMPANY with written notice of your desire to do so via email at info@CelebrateLifeStories.com within 30 days following the date Users first agree to these terms (an “Arbitration Opt-Out Notice”). If Users do not provide the COMPANY with an Arbitration Opt-Out Notice within the 30-day period, Users will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to litigate any dispute, except as expressly set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above. The exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any IP Protection Action, or if Users timely provide the COMPANY with an Arbitration Opt-Out Notice, will be the courts located in San Diego, California, and each party waives any objections to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. Unless Users timely provide the COMPANY with an Arbitration Opt-Out Notice, Users acknowledge and agree that Users and the COMPANY are each waiving the right to a trial by jury and to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both Users and the COMPANY otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate claims from more than one person and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section will be deemed void; except as provided in the preceding sentence, this Dispute Resolution section will survive any termination of these terms. We each agree to negotiate any claims in good faith.

GENERAL TERMS

These terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between the COMPANY and Users regarding the services and content, and these terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between the COMPANY and regarding the services and content.

Users may not assign or transfer these terms. The COMPANY may freely assign or transfer these terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these terms will bind an inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

The COMPANY will not be liable for any failure to perform our obligations here under where such failure results from any cause beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic or communications failures or degradation.

Users are solely responsible and liable for:

Obtaining, configuring, and maintaining all computer hardware, software, telephone services, and other equipment and services necessary for Users to access and use the Services;
Scanning for and preventing the receipt and transmission of viruses, Trojan horses, worms, or other destructive components;
Maintaining a complete and current backup of all information and data in your computer system prior to accessing or using the Services.

We are not responsible for monitoring the Services and are not liable for any changes to the Services, with or without our consent.
