terms of service

Last updated on 3/18/2019

By entering and using the Heritage Makers website (“Site”) or service you indicate that you accept these Terms and that you agree to be bound by them. Your use of the Site and its services (together, the "Service") is entirely conditioned on and subject to your compliance with these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, do not access or use the Service.

Acceptance of these Terms creates a binding contract between you and Heritage Makers that you will use the Service only in a manner consistent with these Terms. If you have questions about these Terms, please contact support@heritagemakers.com.

I. General Terms of Membership

  1. Heritage Makers membership (“Membership”) is available to you if you are at least 18 years of age and reside in the United States or Canada. Membership is available to you if you submit certain requested information to Heritage Makers, including your name and correct email address. When you register as a Member, you must provide Heritage Makers with true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself.

  2. A condition of Membership is your "Active Participation" in the Service. Active Participation is defined as placing an order through the Heritage Makers website at least once during every 18-month period, or as having publishing points in your account. If your Membership is inactive for more than 18 months, Heritage Makers may terminate your Membership (or any part thereof) and your use of the Service, and may remove and discard all information, albums, image files, creative material, and other content (collectively "Content") uploaded by you or otherwise made available by you within the Service.

II. Your Use of the Service

Subject to and conditioned upon your compliance with these Terms, and solely for so long as you are permitted by Heritage Makers to access the Service, we grant to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, nonsublicensable, limited right and license to access the Service, including any images, text, graphics, data, files, links and other materials incorporated into the Service (other than your Submissions), solely as made available by us, solely as necessary to access the Service and solely for your own personal, non-commercial, home purposes, provided that you keep intact all copyright and other proprietary notices. The Service, including all such materials and all intellectual property rights therein, remain the property of Heritage Makers or its licensors or suppliers. Except as expressly authorized by these Terms, you may not use, reproduce, distribute, modify, transmit, perform, display or create derivative works of any portion of the Service without the written consent of Heritage Makers. Nothing herein grants any rights to commercially exploit any portion of the Service or any content therein. All rights not expressly granted hereunder are expressly reserved.


III. Digital Image Storage

  1. A benefit of Membership is the ability to store photos (“Content”) in your online account. A condition of your storage of photos is your “Active Participation” in the Service. Your data storage allowance depends on the Membership plan you subscribe to and Heritage Makers’ current photo storage policy.

  2. You should always preserve your original Content, or make back-up copies of such Content, on your personal system. You should not use the Service as the only repository for your Content.

IV. Photo Storage Policy

  1. Depending on your membership type, your account will be allotted a certain amount of free photo storage. Please check the pricing page for more information.
  2. If your account meets or exceeds its photo storage limits, additional photos will not be able to be uploaded until you obtain more storage space by taking action such as purchasing additional storage space, upgrading your membership subscription, or clearing storage space in your account through photo deletion.
  3. Heritage Makers reserves the right to purge your account of sufficient image files to bring your account into compliance with the photo storage policy. This will only be done after attempts have been made by Heritage Makers to notify you of your account’s overages and requesting your attention to the matter.
  4. You can check your photo storage allowances and usage in the "my photos" or "my account" areas of the Heritage Makers website.

VI. Copyrights

Heritage Makers is, unless otherwise stated, the owner of all copyright and data rights in the Service and its contents.

XVII. General Legal Terms

The Agreement constitutes the whole legal agreement between you and Heritage Makers and governs your use of this service, and completely replaces any prior agreements between you and Heritage Makers in relation to this service. You agree that if Heritage Makers does not exercise, or enforce, any legal right, or remedy, which is contained in the Agreement (or which Heritage Makers has the benefit of under any applicable law), this will not be taken to be a formal waiver of Heritage Makers’ rights. Those rights, or remedies, will still be available to Heritage Makers. If any court of law, having the jurisdiction to decide on this matter, rules that any provision of the Agreement is invalid, then that provision will be removed from the Agreement without affecting the rest of the Agreement. The remaining provisions of the Agreement will continue to be valid and enforceable. The Agreement and your relationship with Heritage Makers under the Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Utah without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. You and Heritage Makers agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the county of Utah County, Utah, to resolve any legal matter arising from the Agreement. Notwithstanding this, you agree that Heritage Makers shall still be allowed to apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction. Further, by using this service, you agree that Heritage Makers, at its sole discretion, may require you to submit any disputes arising from the use of the service, or this Agreement, concerning or, including disputes arising from, or concerning their interpretation, violation, nullity, invalidity, non-performance or termination, as well as disputes about filling gaps in this contract, or its adaptation to, newly arisen circumstances, to final and binding arbitration under the International Rules of Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association, by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with the said Rules. Notwithstanding these rules, however, such proceeding shall be governed by the laws of the state as set forth above.
