Note: This is a structural outline. Final legal text must be written and reviewed by a licensed attorney before launch.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using 180Vault services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
2. Description of Service
180Vault provides privacy-first applications, including TimeLock, a service that enables users to compose messages for delivery at a future date they choose.
3. User Responsibilities
Account security: You are responsible for maintaining the security of your credentials.
Lawful use: You agree to use the service only for lawful purposes consistent with applicable laws.
Accurate information: You are responsible for providing accurate recipient information. Delivery failures due to inaccurate information are not 180Vault's liability.
4. Acceptable Use
TimeLock is built for personal, considered messages. The following uses are prohibited:
- You may not use TimeLock to harass, threaten, intimidate, or stalk anyone.
- You may not use TimeLock to send unsolicited commercial messages (spam).
- You may not use TimeLock to send content that is illegal, including content that exploits or endangers minors.
- You may not impersonate another person or entity.
- You may not attempt to reverse-engineer, circumvent encryption, or interfere with service infrastructure.
We may suspend your account or cancel scheduled messages if we have a credible report or strong indication of any of the above. Recipients can report a message at any time; reported messages are paused pending review.
5. After Your Death
TimeLock is built so that messages you schedule today will be delivered as planned, even if you are no longer here. This commitment is the heart of the product, and we want to be clear about how it works.
- If you have scheduled a message for delivery in the future, we will deliver it on schedule. We will not cancel it because of a request from someone other than you.
- We do not give family members, executors, or other third parties access to your account, your vaults, or any messages that have not yet been delivered. They will not be able to log in as you, see what you wrote, or change what you scheduled.
- Narrow exceptions: we may pause or cancel a scheduled message only in response to (a) a valid court order, (b) instructions you yourself left in your TimeLock account, or (c) a credible report that delivery would cause serious immediate harm.
If you want different behavior — for example, you would like a trusted person to be able to release or stop your messages on your behalf — that is not a feature TimeLock offers today. We may consider it in the future. For now, plan accordingly.
6. Account Deletion
You may delete your TimeLock account at any time from within the app or by following the steps on our Delete Account page.
- If you delete your account while alive, your scheduled messages are canceled and will not be delivered.
- If you die without deleting your account, your scheduled messages continue per your plan, as described in “After Your Death” above.
- After deletion, we delete or anonymize personal information per the retention schedule in our Privacy Policy. Limited records may be retained where required by law.
7. Intellectual Property
All 180Vault software, branding, and content is owned by 180Vault. Your message content remains yours. We claim no ownership over content you create.
8. Privacy
Your use of the service is governed by our Privacy Policy, incorporated by reference here.
9. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability
The service is provided as-is. Message delivery is not guaranteed in all circumstances — factors including recipient email deliverability, network conditions, or force majeure events may affect delivery. 180Vault's liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless 180Vault from any claims arising from your use of the service, your content, or your violation of these terms.
11. Termination
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, including violations of the Acceptable Use section above. Upon termination, your data is handled per our retention policy. For voluntary account deletion, see “Account Deletion” above.
12. Governing Law
Governing jurisdiction to be specified prior to launch, following attorney review.
13. Changes to Terms
We will notify users of material changes to these terms. Continued use of the service after notification constitutes acceptance.
