Terms of Service

Effective Date: June 12, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Journal Jar mobile application ("App", "Service") operated by Yannick Remke Web Projects, Brüggemannhof 8, 30167 Hannover ("we", "us", "our"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

1. Description of the Service

Journal Jar is a mobile application that helps you capture and preserve meaningful experiences. The App allows you to create journal entries for special moments, attach photos, rate their significance, track your mood, and organize your memories into collections. You can also maintain shared collections with friends or family and receive reminders about past moments, such as anniversaries.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years of age to use the App. By using the App, you represent that you meet this age requirement. If you are under the age of 18, you confirm that you have obtained consent from a parent or legal guardian.

3. Account Registration

To use the App, you must create an account using a valid email address and password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

4. Free and Premium Plans

4.1 Free Plan

Journal Jar is free to download and use. The core features — creating entries, organizing collections, and sharing with others — are included at no cost. Free users may create up to three collections. Collections owned by another user and shared with you do not count towards this limit.

4.2 Premium Subscription

Journal Jar Premium is an optional paid subscription that unlocks additional features, including:

  • The ability to attach photos to journal entries
  • Unlimited collection creation

Premium subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis (monthly or annually) through Apple's App Store. Current pricing is available on the App Store listing. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account upon confirmation of purchase. Your subscription automatically renews unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period.

4.3 Shared Collection Premium Benefits

If any member of a shared collection holds an active Premium subscription, all other members of that collection may also attach photos to their entries within that collection, regardless of their own subscription status.

4.4 Cancellation

You may cancel your Premium subscription at any time through your Apple ID account settings. Upon cancellation, you will retain access to Premium features until the end of your current billing period. After that:

  • Previously uploaded photos will remain intact and visible.
  • You will not be able to add new photos to entries until you resubscribe.
  • If you exceed the three-collection limit, you will not be able to create new collections but your existing collections will remain accessible.
