Terms & Conditions

Welcome to 64Smiles.com. By using 64Smiles, including the 64Smiles website and application, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use 64Smiles.

1. About Us

64Smiles.com is operated by Joe & Sean McDermott, based in the United Kingdom. It is a free, non-commercial service designed to help family members and friends share old photographs, memories and family connections privately.

2. Membership and Invitations

64Smiles is an invite-only service. New members may join through an invitation from an existing member.

Members should only invite people they reasonably believe should have access to their family group. An invitation does not independently verify a person's identity, and members are responsible for the invitations they send.

We may refuse, suspend or remove an account or invitation where we reasonably believe this is necessary to protect the service, its members or the security of 64Smiles.

3. Using 64Smiles

You may use 64Smiles for lawful and personal purposes only.

You must not:

• Use 64Smiles for any illegal, fraudulent or harmful purpose.
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to another person's account, data or the service.
• Interfere with the normal operation or security of 64Smiles.
• Use another person's account or login details without permission.
• Upload, share or publish material that is unlawful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, offensive or otherwise inappropriate.
• Use 64Smiles to send unwanted advertising, spam or other unsolicited communications.

4. Photographs and Other User Content

Members may upload photographs, profile pictures, memories, notes, comments and other information to 64Smiles.

You remain responsible for the content you upload or add to 64Smiles. You should only upload or share material where you have the right or permission to do so.

You retain ownership of your photographs and other content that you own. By uploading or adding content, you give 64Smiles permission to store, process and display that content only as reasonably necessary to provide, maintain, secure and improve the 64Smiles service.

You should take care when adding information about other people, including names, photographs and family relationships. Please do not add information that you do not have a reasonable basis to share.

5. Family Tree and Member Information

64Smiles allows members to create family connections and a Photo Family Tree. Information about family relationships is supplied by members and may not be independently verified by us.

You are responsible for taking reasonable care when creating or changing family connections and other information about people.

6. 64Smiles Content

Unless otherwise stated, the 64Smiles website and service, including its text, logos, graphics, software and other materials created by us, belong to us or are used with permission.

You must not reproduce, distribute, modify or commercially use our content without our prior written permission, except where the law allows otherwise.

7. Availability and Changes

We will take reasonable care to keep 64Smiles available and functioning properly. However, we cannot guarantee that the service will always be available, secure or free from errors.

We may change, suspend or discontinue parts of 64Smiles where reasonably necessary, including for maintenance, security or technical reasons.

8. Deleting or Suspending Accounts

You may ask us to delete your account. Deletion may not immediately remove information that we are required to retain for legal, security, backup or other legitimate purposes.

We may suspend or terminate access where we reasonably believe that these terms have been breached or that doing so is necessary to protect members, the service or its security.

9. Privacy

Our use of personal information is explained in our Privacy Policy. Please read the Privacy Policy to understand how we collect, use and protect personal information.

10. Our Liability

To the extent permitted by UK law, we are not responsible for losses or damage arising from your use of 64Smiles where we could not reasonably have expected such loss or damage to occur.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence or for fraud.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.

Where appropriate, we will provide reasonable notice of significant changes. Your continued use of 64Smiles after changes take effect means that you accept the updated terms.

12. Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes relating to these terms or your use of 64Smiles will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
