1. Accepting these terms

These Terms of Service (\"Terms\") form an agreement between you and TOPCODE d.o.o. (\"RemiStories\", \"we\", \"us\"), Smoletova ulica 13, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia, VAT ID SI95789278, a company registered in Slovenia. By creating an account, using the app, or ordering a book, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.

You must be at least 16 years old to create an account.

\n\n

2. What RemiStories does

RemiStories lets you gather photos into \"moments\" and \"stories\", invite other people to contribute, have a photo book designed automatically from that content, and order a printed copy.

The app itself is free to use. Generating a finished book and ordering a printed copy are paid services, priced as shown in the app at the time of purchase.

\n\n

3. Your account

You're responsible for keeping access to your account secure and for everything that happens under it. Tell us promptly at remistories@topcode.si if you believe someone else has gained access.

Please keep your email address current — it's how we send order confirmations and important notices.

\n\n

4. Your content

You keep ownership of everything you upload. Photos, captions and stories remain yours.

To operate the service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to store, reproduce, adapt and lay out your content — strictly for the purpose of running RemiStories for you: displaying your stories, generating your book, and printing and delivering the copies you order. This licence ends when you delete the content, except where a copy must remain in an order record or has already been printed.

We will not use your content for advertising, sell it, make it public, or use it to train machine-learning models without your explicit separate permission.

You confirm that you have the right to upload what you upload, including any necessary permission from people who appear in the photos.

\n\n

5. Photo storage & the storage subscription

On the free plan, photos in your stories are stored for a limited period, which is stated in the app when you upload. We will notify you before stored photos are scheduled for deletion.

With the optional storage subscription, we keep every photo in your stories for as long as your subscription is active — including after your books have been printed. If the subscription ends, your photos remain covered by the free-plan storage period from that date, and you can export them at any time before they are removed.

Printed books are never affected by storage limits: a book you have received is yours regardless of what happens to the digital copies.

\n\n

6. Acceptable use

Please don't use RemiStories to upload, generate or order anything that:

is unlawful, or infringes someone else's copyright or privacy;
depicts the sexual exploitation or abuse of any person, particularly a child;
harasses, threatens or defames someone;
contains malware, or attempts to disrupt or gain unauthorised access to our systems.

We may refuse to print an order, suspend an account, or remove content that breaches these rules or the law.

\n\n

7. Shared stories & contributors

When you invite people to a story, they can view everything in it and add their own moments. Contributors keep ownership of what they add and grant RemiStories the same limited licence described above.

The person who created the story controls it: they can remove contributors, delete moments, and decide who may view or order the resulting book. If you contribute to someone else's story, be aware that they may include your photos in a printed book.

\n\n

8. Payments & pricing

Prices for book generation, printing and delivery are shown in the app before you confirm an order, inclusive of applicable VAT. Payment is taken at the time of purchase through our payment provider.

We may change our prices from time to time; changes never affect an order you have already placed and paid for.

\n\n

9. Printing & delivery

Once you approve a book preview and place an order, the book goes to print. Because every book is made individually for you, production begins shortly after your order is confirmed.

Delivery times are estimates and depend on your location and the carrier. Risk of loss passes to you on delivery. If a parcel doesn't arrive within a reasonable period, contact remistories@topcode.si and we'll investigate.

\n\n

10. Returns & refunds

Photo books are personalised goods made to your specification. Under EU consumer law, the standard 14-day right of withdrawal generally does not apply to goods that are clearly personalised — so an order cannot be cancelled once printing has begun, simply because you changed your mind.

This does not affect your statutory rights. If your book arrives damaged, misprinted or defective, contact us within 14 days of delivery with a photo and we will reprint or refund it at no cost to you.

\n\n

11. Organisers

If you create a group story for a camp, class, club or course and earn a share of book sales, additional terms apply:

You are responsible for obtaining any necessary consent from parents or guardians before adding photos of children.
You must have the right to share the photos you add with the families you invite.
Your revenue share is the rate agreed with you in writing. Payouts are made after the print run for your story completes.
You are responsible for declaring and paying any tax due on income you earn.
We may withhold a payout or end an organiser arrangement where these Terms are breached.

\n\n

12. Our intellectual property

The RemiStories app, website, brand, wordmark, page templates and layout technology are owned by us and protected by intellectual property law. You may not copy, resell or reverse-engineer them. Nothing in these Terms transfers our rights to you, and nothing transfers your rights in your photos to us beyond the licence described in section 4.

\n\n

13. Ending the agreement

You can stop using RemiStories and delete your account at any time from within the app. Deleting your account removes your stories and photos as described in our Privacy Policy.

We may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaches these Terms. Where it's reasonable to do so, we'll warn you first and give you a chance to export your content.

\n\n

14. Liability

We provide RemiStories with reasonable care and skill, but we can't promise the service will always be uninterrupted or error-free.

Please keep your own copies of your photos. RemiStories is a way to gather and print your memories — it is not a backup service, and you should not rely on it as your only copy.

To the extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose. We do not exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded — including your statutory rights as a consumer.

\n\n

15. Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Slovenia. If you are a consumer, you benefit from any mandatory protections of the law of the country where you live, and you may bring proceedings in your local courts.

We'd always rather sort things out directly — please contact us first. EU consumers may also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform.

","title","Terms of Service — RemiStories","description","The agreement between you and RemiStories when you use the app, generate a book, or order a printed copy. Plain language, governed by Slovenian law.",{"_33":40,"_35":41},"Privacy Policy","

1. Who we are

RemiStories is a photo-book service operated by TOPCODE d.o.o. (\"RemiStories\", \"we\", \"us\"), Smoletova ulica 13, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia, VAT ID SI95789278. We are the data controller for the personal data described in this policy.

This policy explains what we collect when you use the RemiStories app or website, why we collect it, and what you can do about it. It is written to comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

\n\n

2. What we collect

Account details — Your email address, display name and optional profile photo.
Content you create — Photos, stories, moments, captions, dates, locations and feelings you add.
Order details — Delivery address, book specification and order history. Payments are handled by our payment provider — we never see or store your full card number.
Usage data — Basic, aggregated information about how the app is used, so we can fix problems and improve it.
Device data — Device type, operating system and app version, used for diagnostics.

\n\n

3. Why we use it

To provide the service — storing your stories, generating book layouts, printing and delivering orders. (Legal basis: performance of a contract.)
To communicate with you — order confirmations, reminders you've switched on, and replies to your messages. (Contract / consent.)
To improve RemiStories — understanding which features are used, in aggregate. (Legitimate interest.)
To keep things safe — preventing abuse, fraud and unauthorised access. (Legitimate interest / legal obligation.)

We do not use your data for profiling or targeted advertising, and we do not sell it to anyone.

\n\n

4. Your photos

Your photos are stored so we can show them in your stories and lay them out in your book. They remain yours: you keep all rights to them, and uploading them to RemiStories does not give us ownership.

We do not use your photos to train machine-learning models, and we do not make them public. The layout engine that designs your book processes your photos automatically in order to produce your book — no employee browses your library.

If you delete a photo, a moment or a whole story, it is removed from our active systems and deleted from backups within 30 days. Books you have already ordered and had printed cannot be recalled, for obvious reasons.

\n\n

5. Sharing & contributors

When you invite someone to a story, they can see all the moments and photos in that story and add their own. They cannot see your other stories. You can remove a contributor at any time; moments they added remain in the story unless you delete them.

If you choose to share a book link publicly, anyone with that link can view — and, if you enable it, order — that book. You can revoke a link at any time.

\n\n

6. Third parties we work with

We use a small number of carefully chosen providers to run the service. They may process your data on our behalf, under contract, and only for the purpose we've engaged them for:

Cloud hosting and storage — to store your account and content, within the EU.
Payment processing — to take payment securely. We never store full card details.
Print and fulfilment partners — they receive only the finished book file and the delivery address needed to print and post your order.
Email delivery — to send transactional messages such as order confirmations.

A current list of sub-processors is available from us on request at any time.

\n\n

7. How long we keep it

We keep your account and content for as long as your account is open. Photos on the free plan are an exception: they are stored for the limited period stated in the app, and we notify you before any photo is scheduled for deletion. The optional storage subscription keeps every photo for as long as it is active. If you delete your account, your stories, moments and photos are deleted within 30 days, except where we are legally required to retain certain records — for example, invoices and order records, which tax law requires us to keep for a defined period.

\n\n

8. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to:

Access the personal data we hold about you, and receive a copy of it.
Correct anything inaccurate.
Delete your data (\"right to be forgotten\").
Restrict or object to certain processing.
Export your data in a portable format.
Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these, email remistories@topcode.si. We'll respond within 30 days. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority — in Slovenia, the Information Commissioner (Informacijski pooblaščenec).

\n\n

9. Children's photos

RemiStories is intended for adults. You must be 16 or older to create an account.

Many stories contain photos of children, added by their parents or guardians. If you are an organiser creating a group story for a camp, class or club, you are responsible for obtaining the appropriate consent from parents or guardians before adding photos of their children, in line with your own organisation's policy and applicable law. Only invited families can access a group story.

\n\n

10. Security

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Access to production systems is restricted to a small number of authorised people and logged. We review our security practices regularly. No system is perfectly secure, but we take this seriously — if a breach ever affects your data, we will notify you and the relevant authority as required by law.

\n\n

11. Changes to this policy

If we make a material change, we'll let you know by email or in the app before it takes effect.

One story per calendar year, for ordinary life. \"Our 2026\". Everything unremarkable goes here, and at the end you print a book of the year that would otherwise have vanished entirely. Most families should have one of these running permanently in the background.","The event story. Started for something specific, closed when it ends. The trip, the wedding, the summer camp. Short, dense, and often the best books — because the ending was built in from the start.","Run both. The rolling year catches the everyday; event stories catch the peaks. Between them almost nothing gets lost. The only genuinely wrong answer is the one where you spend so long deciding how to organise it that you never add the first moment at all.","When should you keep adding to the same story instead?",[107,108,109],"It's the same continuing thread. \"Leo's first year\" doesn't need splitting because the seasons changed. The thread is the child, not the weather.","The story is still thin. Four moments is not a book. If a story only has a handful of moments, add to it rather than starting a rival next to it.","It's a recurring thing with a longer arc. Sunday lunches, monthly hikes, the allotment. These accumulate slowly and are better as one long story spanning a year than twelve tiny ones.","What are the four signals that it's time to start a new story?",[112,113,114,115],"Something is beginning. A baby, a move, a new school, a big trip, a puppy. The most obvious signal, and the easiest — if a chapter of life is starting, start the story on the same day. You'll capture the beginning properly instead of reconstructing it later.","The people have changed. If a different set of people are in the photos — the friends you travel with rather than the family you live with — that's usually a different story, because the people who'd want to contribute are different.","You'd need a different cover. Picture the finished book. If a single cover photo can't honestly represent everything inside, you've got two stories wearing one name.","Scrolling it has become work. When you open a story and have to scroll past forty unrelated moments to find the ones from last week, it's outgrown itself. Split it, or start the next chapter.","What is the one-story-per-thing-that-ends rule?",[118,119],"A story wants a natural edge — a point where you'd say \"that's done now\". Not necessarily a happy ending, just an ending.","A trip ends when you come home. A school year ends in June. A first year ends on a birthday. A house renovation ends when the last box is unpacked. Each of those makes a clean, satisfying book because it has a shape.","How do you decide whether you have one story or several?",[122,123],"It's the first question RemiStories asks you, and the one people hesitate over longest. You've got photos from a summer that included a camping trip, a birthday, and about eleven ordinary weekends. Is that one story or four?","Here's the honest answer up front: you will not get this wrong in a way that matters. Stories can be renamed, moments can be moved, and a slightly odd grouping still makes a lovely book. But there is a rule of thumb that makes the decision quick.","When is it time to start a new story in RemiStories?","One story or three? Where does the trip end and normal life begin? A simple decision rule — plus two patterns that work well for almost every family.",{"_33":127,"_35":165},"How to pose for a photo you'll actually want to keep","Nobody looks natural on command.

A single straight row of standing adults is the least interesting arrangement possible. Sit some people, kneel some, keep some standing. Uneven head heights read as a group; a level line reads as a school photo.","Close the gaps. People naturally leave polite space between themselves, and in a photograph that space looks like distance. Ask everyone to move in until it feels slightly too close — that's roughly correct.","The photo you'll care about in fifteen years is almost never the one where everyone looked best. It's the one where someone was mid-laugh, or a child had clearly just been crying, or your dad was doing that thing with his eyebrows. Take the shot slightly before people are ready, and again slightly after they think you've finished. Those are the ones that end up in the book.","How do you get a real smile instead of a cheese-smile?",[146,147,148],"\"Say cheese\" produces a mouth shape, not a smile. Real smiles engage the eyes, and the eyes only engage when something is genuinely amusing.","What actually works: ask a question and shoot the answer. What did you have for breakfast? Who's the worst driver here? The last one has never once failed with a family. Or ask people to laugh deliberately, badly, on purpose — fake laughter is so absurd it becomes real within about two seconds, and the real one is the frame you keep.","With small children, forget instructions entirely. Photograph them doing something they were already going to do, from slightly further away than feels right.","What are the six small physical fixes photographers always use?",[151,152,153,154,155,156],"Push your chin forward and down. It feels deeply wrong and looks completely right. Extending the chin away from the neck defines the jawline and removes the soft shadow under it. This one fix improves more photos than anything else on this list.","Put weight on your back foot. Standing square to the camera with weight evenly split reads as stiff. Shift your weight onto one leg — usually the back one — and let the other bend slightly. Everything above it relaxes automatically.","Never let your arms touch your body. Arms pressed flat against your sides flatten and widen. A hand on a hip, in a pocket, holding a drink, on someone's shoulder — any small gap makes an enormous difference.","Turn slightly away, then look back. Facing the lens head-on is the most unflattering angle there is. Rotate your body about 30–45° away from the camera and bring your face back towards it. You instantly look narrower and more considered.","Do something with your hands. Hands are where awkwardness goes to live. Give them a job: hold a coffee, adjust a collar, touch your own hair, hold a child, hold each other. Anything beats letting them hang.","Breathe out just before the shutter. People hold their breath when a camera is raised, and it shows in the shoulders and jaw. A slow exhale on the count of three drops the shoulders and softens the whole face.","What is the core idea — doing something vs. posing?",[159,160],"A pose asks you to hold a shape. An action asks you to do a thing. Actions produce real faces; shapes produce that face.","So instead of \"stand there and smile\", try: walk towards me holding hands. Whisper something to her. Lift him up. Pick a flower. Look at each other, then look at me. Every one of those has a beginning and an end, and somewhere in the middle is the photo.","Why do people look so awkward when a camera comes out?",[163,164],"There's a particular face people make when a camera comes out. The mouth does something roughly smile-shaped, the eyes go slightly panicked, the shoulders climb towards the ears. Everyone has this face. Everyone hates it.","The instinct is to fix it with instructions — relax, be natural, act like I'm not here — which is the least helpful thing anyone has ever said to a person being photographed. You cannot relax on command. But you can be given something to do, and that turns out to be the whole trick.","Nobody looks natural on command. Six small physical fixes and one change of approach that fix almost every awkward family photo before it goes in a book.",{"_33":197,"_35":198},"Reminders that nudge instead of nag: how we designed them","Most apps interrupt you. We wanted something closer to a friend tapping you on the shoulder.","2026-03-12",5,"photo-04",[174,175,176,177],[65,61,59],{"_99":192,"_51":193},{"_99":188,"_51":189},{"_99":183,"_51":184},{"_99":178,"_51":179},"Why should you be able to ignore a reminder without any penalty?",[180,181,182],"This is the one that took longest to accept. A reminder should carry no penalty for being dismissed — no streak to break, no counter resetting to zero, no badge accumulating unread guilt.","Streaks are extremely effective at driving daily behaviour, and completely wrong here. A person who missed three weeks because life was hard does not need an app to point that out. They need the next nudge to arrive exactly as friendly as the last one.","Questions beat commands. \"Add a moment\" felt like a task. \"Anything worth keeping this week?\" felt like a friend asking. Same action, completely different response. Specific beats generic: a reminder that names the story lands better than a generic one, because it reminds you what you're doing it for.","Who should control the reminder rhythm — you or the app?",[185,186,187],"There's no clever algorithm deciding when to ping you, and deliberately so. Algorithmic timing optimises for engagement, and engagement is not what anyone wants from a memory app.","Instead you pick: daily, weekly, or monthly — and the exact time. Per story, so a new baby can be daily while a holiday story stays quiet until you're actually away.","We expect weekly to be the sweet spot for most stories — a Sunday-evening look back at the week. Daily suits new parents best in the first year, and only in the first year. Monthly suits long, slow stories — a school year, a house renovation. The evening slot is the natural fit. Nobody wants to be asked to reflect at 8am on a Tuesday.","Why should reminders never manufacture urgency?",[190,191],"Nothing about capturing a memory is urgent. If you skip a week, nothing is lost — the photos are still on your phone, and next Sunday will do fine.","So our reminders don't say \"Don't lose this moment!\" or count down anything. They ask a question and leave: anything worth keeping this week? Sometimes the honest answer is no. That's a perfectly good outcome and the reminder shouldn't imply otherwise.","What is wrong with how most app reminders work?",[194,195,196],"Reminders were the hardest thing we built, and the feature we rewrote most times. Not because the engineering is difficult — it isn't — but because the difference between a helpful nudge and an irritating one is almost entirely a matter of tone.","Most app notifications are designed to pull you back in. They're written in the imperative, they imply urgency they don't have, and they treat your attention as something to be captured.","That approach works, in the narrow sense that it produces opens.

Moments turn an open-ended chore into a series of small, finishable tasks.","It captures the part that isn't visual. The best thing about a family gathering is rarely visible in any single photograph. It's the running joke, the argument about the map, the thing your nephew said at dinner. A story has somewhere to put that. An album doesn't.","It fills in the person behind the camera. In almost every family, the person who organises the photos is missing from all of them.

That decision is itself an act of attention, and attention is what memory is made of. When you take forty on burst mode, no decision is made at all.","The same study tradition found the effect largely disappears when people photograph deliberately — zooming in on a detail, choosing a frame.

Families get the same hardcover quality as every RemiStories book — three formats, and a reprint-or-refund promise if anything arrives damaged.","cta","Become an organiser","How it works","Four steps, and no design work","steps",[545,546,547,548],{"_33":555,"_44":556},{"_33":553,"_44":554},{"_33":551,"_44":552},{"_33":549,"_44":550},"Get paid per copy","You earn a share of every book sold, paid out to you directly after the print run.","Share one link","Parents open it, preview the finished book and order their copy.
