Terms of service
These terms are the agreement between you and whoever runs this travel journal, named below. They are written to be read: if a sentence here is unclear, ask at the contact address rather than guess.
What this is: a preview
This is an early version of a travel journal, open to a small number of people while it is being built. It is free, and it is offered as it is. That is not a formality — it is the bargain, and the rest of these terms follow from it:
- Nothing is sold and nothing is charged. There is no card to give and no plan to buy.
- Features appear, change and disappear. A thing that worked last week may be gone or different this week, without notice.
- There is no guarantee that the service is available, or that what you put into it survives. Keep your own copies of anything you would be upset to lose. "Download my data" on the Account page gives you everything, at any time, and that is the part of this you should actually use.
- The preview can end, and accounts with it, with the notice described at the bottom.
Who runs the service
The travel journal is run by David Konečný, a private individual rather than a business, reachable at david@konecny.eu. There is no company number, because there is no company: this is one person's project, run at cost while it is a preview. If that changes — a business, a registered address, a VAT number — it is said here, these terms get a new effective date, and you are asked to accept them again.
Contact point under the Digital Services Act
Write to david@konecny.eu. That one address is the point of contact for authorities under article 11 and for users under article 12, and it answers in Czech and in English. There is no telephone line: everything is handled in writing, so that what was asked and what was answered can both be read back.
Getting an account
Signing up does not open the service to you. You give an email address, choose a handle and accept these terms, and then you wait until we let you in — we look at every account by hand, and you get an email when it is done. An invitation to somebody else's journal lets you in as well, and so does an invitation code.
We may refuse an account without giving a reason, and refusing deletes it: nothing is kept about the attempt, and the same address may sign up again. While you are waiting, the only things you can do are wait and delete the account.
Your journals are yours
What you write, photograph and upload stays yours. You give us only the permission the service needs in order to work: to store your content, to make the smaller versions a browser can show, and to publish it at the addresses you choose to publish it at, for as long as you keep it here. We do not sell it, we do not train anything on it, and we do not use it to advertise the service without asking you first.
You are responsible for having the right to upload what you upload — other people's photographs, other people's faces, and material somebody else holds the rights to. You are also responsible for what you choose to publish: a journal you make public is public, and a secret link is only as private as the people you send it to.
Acceptable use
Do not put here, and do not publish from here:
- anything unlawful, and in particular material depicting the sexual abuse of children;
- threats, harassment, or incitement to violence or hatred against a person or a group;
- someone else's private information or intimate images published without their agreement;
- work somebody else holds the rights to, published without their permission;
- malware, or attempts to break, overload or work around the limits of the service.
Content that breaks the law is taken down. If what you have published turns out to be unlawful, the travel it is in is hidden from everyone but you, you are told why, and you can reply and contest it — the section on reports below says how that works.
Given as it is, and what we answer for
The service is provided as it is and as it happens to be available, with no warranty of any kind: not that it works, not that it keeps working, not that it is free of faults, not that it fits what you wanted it for, and not that anything stored in it can be got back. There is no promised uptime, no promised backup and no support commitment. You use it at your own risk, and the decision to keep something here and nowhere else is yours.
To the fullest extent Czech law allows a free service to do so, we are not liable for any loss arising from using it or from being unable to use it — including lost, corrupted or unrecoverable journals, photographs, videos, documents or tracks; a journal or a photograph reaching somebody you did not intend; time or money spent because the service was unavailable or wrong; and any indirect or consequential loss of any kind. What anyone puts here, and what they publish from here, is theirs, and so is what follows from it.
What the law does not let us disclaim, we do not. Nothing here limits liability for harm to life or health, for harm caused intentionally or by gross negligence, or anything else a consumer cannot be made to give up in advance — and nothing here affects your rights under data protection law or our duties under it, which are in the privacy policy and are not a matter of agreement. Where liability cannot be excluded but can be limited, it is limited to what you have paid for the service, which during the preview is nothing.
Nothing is charged yet
The preview is free. No payment method is taken, no plan is on sale, and nothing about your account can result in a charge — the pages that describe plans are describing what is being built.
If paid plans arrive, you will be told before anything is charged, these terms will be reissued with the payment and refund terms in them, and you will be asked to accept those before your workspace opens again. An account that does not accept keeps its data, keeps the download and keeps the right to delete itself. Nothing you have already put here becomes chargeable because prices appear later.
Storage limits
Every account has an amount of storage. Reaching it stops new uploads and nothing else: the journals you have keep working, keep being readable at their addresses, and can still be edited and downloaded. We do not delete your photographs and we do not hide your journals for being over a limit — you are asked to remove something before you upload again.
Reports and take-downs
Every public page carries a Report link, and anyone at all may use it — you do not need an account. A report asks what is wrong, in which travel, and who is reporting it. A person reads every report; nothing here is decided automatically.
If a report is upheld, the travel is hidden from everyone but its owner, who is emailed a statement of what was decided, why, that a person decided it, where the travel still is, and how to contest it — by replying to that email. A report that is not upheld is closed and the travel is left alone. Reports are counted for the transparency report the Digital Services Act asks for, which is why a report outlives the travel it was about.
Changing these terms, and ending the service
We can change these terms. A material change gets a new effective date, and you are asked to accept it the next time you sign in; until you do, you can still read your journals, download everything you have and delete the account, so declining is always a real option.
You can end this at any time by deleting the account on the Account page, which is final and takes your data with it. We can end it for an account that breaks these terms, and an account we have to close for that reason is told so at its email address.
The preview itself can end. If it does, or if it becomes something you have to pay for, you get at least 30 days' notice at your email address and the whole of that time to download everything before anything is removed. That notice is the one thing promised here that does not depend on the service working.
Czech law governs these terms, and nothing in them takes away the rights a consumer has under it.
