Terms of Service

1. Who can use Postcards

You need to be able to enter into a contract where you live, and you can't be banned from using our kind of service under the law. You have to be at least 13, and if you're under 18, a parent or guardian should be involved.

2. Your account

To use Postcards, you'll need an account. Give us accurate information, keep your password to yourself, and update your details if they change. Whatever happens under your account is your responsibility, so don't share your login.

You can sign in with Apple or Google if you'd rather not manage another password. If you do, their terms apply to that part too.

3. What Postcards is

Postcards is an app for capturing short voice notes (and optional photos) and turning them into shareable cards. We store your audio recordings, transcripts of those recordings, photos, generated postcards, and your social connections — the people you follow, the circles and groups you're in, and who you share with.

We're still building Postcards, so we may change, add, remove, or pause features as we go. We'll try not to break things you love, but we can't promise the product will always look the same.

4. Your content stays yours

Anything you create in Postcards — voice notes, transcripts, photos, postcards — is yours. You own it. By using Postcards, you give us a limited license to store, process, display, and transmit your content so we can actually run the service (that includes things like transcribing your audio, generating postcards from it, and showing your cards to the people you've shared with). That's it. We don't claim ownership, we don't use your content for anything outside of running Postcards for you, and we don't sell it.

5. Be a good neighbor

Postcards is a social product, and some basic rules keep it usable for everyone. Don't:

• Post or share content that's illegal, harassing, threatening, or targets specific people to harm them.
• Post or share sexually explicit content, or content that sexualizes minors in any way.
• Post or share content that promotes self-harm, violence, or hatred of groups of people.
• Impersonate someone else or misrepresent who you are.
• Upload content you don't have the right to share.
• Record people without their consent where consent is legally required.
• Scrape, reverse engineer, or try to break the service.
• Spam, phish, or abuse other users.
• Use Postcards to build a competing product.

We can remove content or suspend accounts that break these rules. If something truly serious comes up — illegal content, threats, child safety issues — we may have to report it to the appropriate authorities.

6. Sharing, circles, and other people

When you share a postcard with a circle, group, or individual, the people you've shared with can see, save, screenshot, and talk about it. Treat anything you share the way you'd treat anything you share on any social product — once it's out, you can't fully pull it back.

If you create a public link for a card, anyone with that link can view it.

If you share content that includes other people (their voice, image, or personal details), you're responsible for making sure that's okay with them.

7. Reporting stuff

If you see something that breaks these rules — harassment, illegal content, something that shouldn't be on Postcards — report it in the app or email us at hello@postcards.fun. We read reports and take action when we need to.

8. AI and transcripts

Postcards uses AI to transcribe your voice notes and help generate the text that appears on your postcards. AI makes mistakes — transcripts won't be perfect, names get misheard, and the generated text sometimes misses the mark. Read what the AI produces before you share it. We're not responsible for errors in AI-generated content.

9. Ending things

You can stop using Postcards whenever you want and delete your account from Settings. We can suspend or close your account if you're breaking these terms, putting us or other users at risk, or if the law requires it. We'll try to be reasonable about it.

10. Our stuff

The Postcards software, design, name, and branding belong to us. You get to use the Service under these terms, but you don't get ownership of the product itself.

11. The "as is" part (this is the formal bit)

Postcards is provided as is and as available. To the fullest extent allowed by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We don't guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that anything the AI produces will be accurate or suitable for your purposes.

In plain English: we're doing our best, but we can't promise Postcards will always work perfectly or that the AI won't sometimes write nonsense. Back up anything that matters to you.

12. Limits on what we owe you (also formal)

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Biographer, Inc. and its people won't be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claims related to Postcards or these Terms won't exceed $100.

In plain English: if something goes wrong, the most we'd owe you is $100. We know that's not a lot — it's a standard clause for products at our stage, and it's part of how we can offer the Service.

13. If you get us sued

If someone comes after us because of something you uploaded, something you did with Postcards you shouldn't have, or a violation of these terms, you agree to cover our costs — including reasonable legal fees.

14. Where disputes get handled

These Terms are governed by New York law. If there's a legal dispute between us, it has to be handled in the state or federal courts in New York, New York, and you agree to that.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms now and then. If we do, we'll update the date at the top, and for meaningful changes we'll give you a heads-up in the app or by email. Continuing to use Postcards after a change means you're good with the new version.

16. The legal odds and ends

• The whole deal. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the complete agreement between you and us about Postcards.
• If one part fails. If a court decides one provision doesn't hold up, the rest still applies.
• Letting things slide. If we don't enforce something once, we haven't given up the right to enforce it later.
• Transfers. You can't hand your account or these Terms off to someone else without us agreeing. We can transfer them if we're acquired or merged.

17. App store stuff

If you got Postcards from the Apple App Store, you also agree to Apple's standard end-user license terms. Apple isn't responsible for Postcards, doesn't support it, and isn't a party to these Terms — but Apple can enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

18. Get in touch

Questions about these terms? We'd rather hear from you than have you guess.
