Terms of service

Who we are

LifeCloud is provided by Project LifeCloud, based in Lebanon (“we”, “us”). These terms are the agreement between you and us for your use of projectlifecloud.com and everything on it.

Questions about these terms: legal@projectlifecloud.com.

Accepting these terms

By creating an account or buying anything on LifeCloud you accept these terms, our privacy policy and our cookie policy. If you do not accept them, do not use LifeCloud.

You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter a binding contract where you live.

Your account

• Give accurate information and keep your password to yourself. You are responsible for what happens under your account.
• One account per person. Do not create accounts for other people without their permission, or with automated tools.
• Tell us straight away at security@projectlifecloud.com if you think someone else has access to your account.

Your LifePrint and what you upload

It stays yours. You keep ownership of everything you write or upload. You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, copy, process and display it only to run LifeCloud for you, including showing it to anyone when you make it public. The licence ends when you delete the content or your account, apart from backup copies that expire on their normal cycle and copies other people lawfully made while it was public.

You are responsible for it. Only upload what you have the right to use. When you write about or show other people, living or dead, you are responsible for having the right to do so and for being fair and truthful. You must not upload anything that:

• infringes copyright, trademark, privacy or publicity rights;
• is defamatory, harassing, hateful, or threatens or incites violence;
• shows or promotes the sexual abuse or exploitation of anyone, or any sexual content involving a minor;
• reveals another person’s private information without their consent;
• impersonates someone, or is malware or anything designed to harm people or systems.

We may remove content, or restrict an account, that breaks these rules or the law, and we will tell you why unless the law or safety prevents it. Anyone can report content to legal@projectlifecloud.com; copyright complaints follow our takedown process.

Seats in the chambers

A seat is a personal, symbolic place in a chamber of the Hall of Icons, shown with your name and portrait. Buying a seat gives you the right to hold and display that seat on LifeCloud, and to resell it on our marketplace, under these terms.

• Not an investment. A seat is a commemorative digital item for personal enjoyment. It is not a security, financial instrument, currency, share or ownership of anything outside LifeCloud. We make no promise that a seat will keep or gain any value, or that anyone will want to buy it from you. Do not buy a seat expecting a profit.
• No affiliation. The chambers honour historical figures. LifeCloud is not affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by them, their heirs, estates, or the owners of any trademark connected with their names.
• What “permanent” means. Your seat stays yours, in its ring, for as long as LifeCloud operates. We will not remove it, move it to a lower ring, or reduce the number of seats you hold, except under the suspension and termination section. Our preservation promise covers what happens if LifeCloud ever closes.
• We may change how chambers look, add chambers or rings, and change future prices. Price changes never affect a seat you already hold.
• Seats can only be held and transferred on LifeCloud. Selling or pledging them anywhere else is not permitted.

Buying: prices, payment and delivery

• Prices are in US dollars and include everything we charge. Payment is made in cryptocurrency through NOWPayments, an independent payment processor with its own terms. Network fees and exchange rates are set by the network and your wallet, not by us.
• A purchase is complete when the payment is confirmed on the network, usually within minutes. If you pay less than the invoice, nothing is delivered until the difference is paid or we refund what arrived, less network fees.
• If we cannot deliver what you paid for, for example because the seat you chose was taken at the same moment, we give you another open seat in the same ring, or a full refund to a wallet you name if none is open or you prefer.

Your right to cancel. If you live in the EU, the UK or another country with a similar law, you normally have 14 days to cancel a purchase of digital content. Seats and storage plans are delivered as soon as payment confirms, so at checkout we ask you to confirm that you want immediate delivery and that you understand you lose that right once delivery has started. We confirm each purchase, including that acknowledgement, by email. Otherwise purchases are final, except as stated in these terms or where the law gives you a right that cannot be waived.

The marketplace

• You can list a seat you hold, at or above its floor price (the highest of what was originally paid for it, its last sale price and its chamber’s floor). While listed, the seat stays yours until it sells or you remove the listing.
• The buyer pays the listed price. When their payment is confirmed the seat passes to them, and 95% of the price is credited to the seller’s LifeCloud balance. We keep a 5% platform fee. There is no buyer fee.
• Balances are paid out on request, from $10, in the cryptocurrency and to the wallet you choose, normally within 48 hours. You are responsible for giving a correct address; payments sent to a wrong address cannot be recovered.
• Before paying out we may ask you to verify your identity or the source of funds, and we may delay or refuse a payout, or reverse a credit, where we reasonably suspect fraud, money laundering, a breach of these terms, or where sanctions or other law forbid it.
• You are responsible for any tax on your sales.
• You must not use the marketplace to buy from yourself, trade seats between your own accounts, move money for anyone else, or inflate prices.

Storage plans

• Every account includes 1 GB free. Paid plans add space for a prepaid month or year.
• Paid plans do not renew automatically. We remind you before a period ends; you renew by paying again.
• If a period ends without renewal, new uploads may pause until you renew or are back within the free allowance. We never delete your files because a plan ended without first giving you at least 30 days’ notice by email, so you can renew, download or choose what to keep.

Our preservation promise

LifeCloud exists to keep life stories. We keep your content, and the seats you hold, for as long as LifeCloud operates and your account is in good standing.

If we ever decide to close LifeCloud, we will give every account holder at least 90 days’ notice by email and a way to download everything they have stored. We cannot promise that the service will exist forever, and nothing in our wording means otherwise.

Illustrations and historical figures

The chamber scenes and figure portraits on LifeCloud are artistic reconstructions. Some are created with the help of artificial intelligence; they are not photographs and do not show real events. Quotations and biographies are provided in good faith for commemoration and education.

Names of historical figures are used to identify the people each chamber honours. Any trademarks belong to their owners.

Using LifeCloud fairly

Do not break the law through LifeCloud; probe, attack or overload our systems; bypass limits or security; scrape the site in bulk; resell access to the service; or use LifeCloud to launder money or evade sanctions. Security researchers acting in good faith can reach us at security@projectlifecloud.com.

Suspension and termination

You can stop using LifeCloud at any time and ask us to delete your account from your dashboard. Seats you hold are removed from display when your account is deleted; list or sell them first if you want to keep their value.

We may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms, commits fraud, or where the law requires it. Where we can, we warn you first and give you the chance to download your content. Seats you paid for are not removed for minor issues.

What we do not promise

We work hard to keep LifeCloud available, secure and correct, but it is provided as it is and as available. To the extent the law allows, we do not promise that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or suitable for a particular purpose. Keep your own copies of anything irreplaceable.

Limits on our liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, or loss caused by events outside our reasonable control, including blockchain networks, wallets and third-party services. Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim and 100 US dollars.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or any other liability, or consumer right, that the law does not allow to be limited.

Claims about your content

If someone brings a claim against us because of content you uploaded or the way you used LifeCloud in breach of these terms, you agree to cover our reasonable costs of that claim, to the extent the law allows.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as LifeCloud changes or the law requires. For material changes we will email you at least 30 days before they apply. If you do not agree, you can close your account before then; continuing to use LifeCloud afterwards means you accept the new terms.

Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of Lebanon, and disputes go to the courts of Beirut, Lebanon. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you may bring a claim in its courts.

Please contact us first at legal@projectlifecloud.com. We aim to answer within 14 days and to settle disputes within 30.
