Terms of Service

Last updated: July 25, 2026 · Solous is in private beta.

1. The service

Solous ("the Service", "we", "us", "our") is a private life-journaling application. By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

The Service is currently in beta: features may change, break, or be removed, and availability is not guaranteed.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, if higher) and legally able to enter this agreement in your jurisdiction. The Service is not directed to children.

3. Your account and your responsibilities

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to:

Because private journals are private, we do not monitor your content; but we may act on credible reports or legal obligations, and may suspend accounts that violate these Terms.

5. Your content stays yours

You retain all rights to everything you write and upload. We claim no ownership of your content and take only the minimum, non-exclusive license technically required to store it, back it up, and display it back to you — nothing more. We do not read, mine, sell, advertise against, or train AI on your content.

You can export your complete journal at any time from the Export page. We strongly encourage regular exports as your own backup.

6. No warranty

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DATA WILL NEVER BE LOST OR CORRUPTED.

7. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR USE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE — INCLUDING DATA LOSS DUE TO SERVICE FAILURE, ACCOUNT LOCKOUT, OR DISCONTINUATION — EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

WHERE LIABILITY CANNOT LAWFULLY BE EXCLUDED, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR TEN US DOLLARS (USD $10).

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded by law — including, for consumers in the EU/UK and elsewhere, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for breach of non-waivable statutory rights. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions; in those places these limits apply only to the fullest extent permitted.

8. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims and costs arising out of content you store in violation of these Terms or of your unlawful use of the Service. This does not apply to the extent a claim results from our own wrongdoing.

9. Termination and service changes

You may delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms. If we ever discontinue the Service, we will make reasonable efforts to give at least 30 days' notice so you can export your journal.

10. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and the state and federal courts located there will have jurisdiction — except where mandatory local law gives you, as a consumer, the right to rely on the laws and courts of your country of residence, which we do not seek to take away.

Before filing anything, please contact us at contact@solous.live; we will try in good faith to resolve disputes informally.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms; the "Last updated" date reflects the current version, and material changes will be announced in the Service. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
