Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Oriva, whether via the website at oriva.dev or the Oriva mobile apps for iOS and Android, and any related services (the "Service"), operated by David Jameson trading as DeskJockey Digital. By creating an account or using Oriva you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

If you install Oriva from the Apple App Store or Google Play, your use of the installed app is also subject to the terms of that store (including Apple's Licensed Application End User Licence Agreement, where applicable). Where those terms conflict with these Terms in respect of the installed app, the store terms prevail to the minimum extent required.

1. Eligibility (18+ only)

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or use Oriva. When you sign up you are asked to actively confirm that you are 18 or over; this confirmation is recorded on your profile. If we become aware that an account is held by a person under 18, we may suspend or terminate it.

2. Your account

• Provide accurate information when registering and keep it up to date.
• You are responsible for activity on your account; keep your password confidential.
• One account per person. Do not impersonate others or misrepresent your identity.
• Notify us promptly at hello@deskjockeydigital.co.uk if you believe your account has been compromised.

3. Public and private profiles

Profiles are private by default. You may choose to make your profile public from Settings → Profile visibility. When public, your profile and any content you have marked public may be discovered via direct link, search, and future discovery features such as Explore Worlds (including Featured, Recently Updated, and Recommended Worlds). You can switch back to private at any time, but content that was previously public (for example share cards already downloaded by others) cannot be recalled.

4. Your content and ownership

You retain ownership of the memories, photographs, profile content, collections, and other materials you upload or create on Oriva ("Your Content"). You are responsible for Your Content and represent that you have all necessary rights (including any depicted persons’ permissions where applicable) to upload it and, where you choose to make it public, to make it publicly available.

You grant Oriva a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sub-licensable licence to host, store, reproduce, process, transmit, display, adapt (for resizing, thumbnailing, format conversion, and share-card rendering), and back up Your Content solely for the purpose of operating, providing, securing, and improving the Service. Where you have marked content as public, this licence additionally covers public display on your public profile, country pages, place pages, discovery surfaces, share cards, and generated Open Graph / social preview images for those URLs. We do not use Your Content for advertising, do not sell it to third parties, and do not use it to train third-party generative-AI models. This licence terminates when you delete the content or your account, except for (a) residual copies retained in encrypted backups for a limited period, and (b) copies already shared externally by you or others, which we cannot recall.

Oriva does not currently provide comments, direct messages, likes, or other user-to-user interaction surfaces beyond public discovery, in-app reporting, and blocking. If we introduce further interaction surfaces, they will be governed by these Terms and the Acceptable Use Policy.

4a. Safety tools

Every profile and memory in Oriva has an in-app "Report" action, and you can block any account from its public profile. Blocked accounts are hidden from your Discover and feeds, and are managed under Settings → Blocked accounts. Using these tools honestly and in good faith is part of your obligations under these Terms; abuse of the report system may itself be a breach of the Acceptable Use Policy.

5. Acceptable use

Your use of the Service is subject to our Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Violations may result in content removal, suspension, or termination of your account.

6. Service availability and changes

Oriva is currently in early preview. Features may change, be added, or be removed. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the Service at any time. We aim to keep the Service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted operation.

7. Suspension and termination

You may delete your account at any time from Settings → Delete account. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, the Acceptable Use Policy, or applicable law, or if necessary to protect the Service or other users.

8. Future paid features

We may introduce premium subscriptions or other paid features in the future. Any such feature will be optional, clearly priced before purchase, and governed by additional subscription terms presented at the point of purchase. Payments will be processed by a third-party payment provider (such as Stripe), whose own terms and privacy notice will apply to the payment transaction. Pricing, plan structure, and refund and cancellation terms will be set out in those subscription terms when paid features launch.

9. Third-party services

The Service relies on third-party hosting, storage, email, analytics, and (in future) payment providers. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of those providers beyond our contractual relationship with them.

10. Disclaimers

Except as required by applicable consumer-protection law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Oriva and its operator shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising from or in connection with your use of the Service. Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, including your statutory rights as a consumer.

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Oriva and its operator from any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Service, Your Content, or your breach of these Terms, except to the extent such liability is caused by our negligence or wilful misconduct.

13. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of England & Wales. The courts of England & Wales shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms, save that nothing in this clause limits your right as a consumer to bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence where required by law.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will update the "Effective" date above and, where changes are material, notify you in-app or by email. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

15. Entire agreement and severability

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and Acceptable Use Policy, form the entire agreement between you and Oriva. If any provision is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
