Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern the conditions of access and use of the website theposterityproject.io (hereinafter "Posterity"), published by Steeve Benabou, sole proprietor.

Posterity is a digital memory platform that allows users to create tributes, personal legacies and time capsules to preserve and transmit the memory of their loved ones.

Accessing and using the site implies full and complete acceptance of these Terms of Use.

Access to certain features requires the creation of an account. The user agrees to provide accurate information and to maintain the confidentiality of their login credentials.

The user may create an account via email and password, or via Google OAuth authentication. Each user is responsible for the activity carried out under their account.

The publisher reserves the right to suspend or delete any account in case of violation of these Terms, without notice or compensation.

Posterity offers the following services:

• Tributes: commemorative pages dedicated to loved ones, publicly accessible via a unique link or QR code.
• Personal legacies: private spaces to transmit messages, photos, videos and documents to designated guardians.
• Time capsules: encrypted content scheduled to be revealed at a future date chosen by the user.

Free plan: limited access (draft creation, preview).

Posterity Pass (Premium): full access including publication, QR code, collaborator invitations, guardian sending, and extended storage. The price is displayed on the payment page at the time of purchase.

The user is solely responsible for the content they publish on Posterity (texts, photos, videos, audio recordings). They guarantee that they have the necessary rights to this content and that its publication does not infringe any third-party rights.

It is strictly forbidden to publish:

• illegal, defamatory, abusive or discriminatory content;
• content that infringes on others' privacy;
• pornographic or violent content;
• content that violates third-party intellectual property rights.

The publisher reserves the right to moderate and remove any content that violates these Terms or applicable law.

Payments are made online via Stripe, a secure payment provider (PCI-DSS certified). The Posterity Pass is a one-time purchase, with no recurring subscription.

The Posterity Pass comes with a 14-day right of withdrawal and a full refund: the terms and conditions of sale explain how to use it.

Any payment-related complaint may be sent to contact@theposterityproject.io.

The site, its architecture, design, source code and features are protected by intellectual property law and are the subject of an e-Soleau envelope filing with INPI (No. DSO2026005028, filed on 02/09/2026). Any unauthorized reproduction or use is prohibited.

Content created by users remains their property. The user grants Posterity a limited, non-exclusive and revocable license for the display and hosting of their public content.

The publisher makes every effort to ensure the availability, security and sustainability of the site. However, the service is provided "as is" and the publisher cannot guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.

The publisher shall not be held liable in case of:

• data loss or alteration due to force majeure (Art. 1218 of the Civil Code);
• temporary or permanent service interruption for maintenance, update, or technical reasons beyond the publisher's control;
• fraudulent or unauthorized use of the account by a third party, resulting from the user's negligence in protecting their credentials;
• content published by users, including any defamatory, inaccurate or rights-infringing content;
• indirect damages, including loss of profits, loss of opportunity, moral prejudice or reputational damage;
• failure of third-party technical providers (Supabase, Vercel, Stripe, Resend, Google);
• incompatibility of the service with the user's equipment or browser;
• use of the service for purposes not compliant with these Terms.

In any event, the publisher's total liability, for all causes combined, is limited to the amount actually paid by the user for the Posterity Pass during the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the damage. This limitation does not apply in case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the publisher.

The user agrees to indemnify and hold the publisher harmless against any claim, complaint, prosecution or third-party action resulting from:

• the publication of content by the user on the platform;
• the user's violation of these Terms;
• the user's violation of any intellectual property right or any other right of a third party;
• any fraudulent or abusive use of the service by the user.

This indemnification obligation covers damages, legal costs, attorney fees and any other cost reasonably incurred by the publisher for its defense.

The publisher reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Users will be informed of any substantial modification by email or via a notification on the site. Continued use of the site after modification constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.

In case of modification to Article 6 (lifetime preservation commitment), users who subscribed to the Posterity Pass before the modification will continue to benefit from the conditions in effect at the time of their purchase.

These Terms are governed by French law. In case of dispute, the parties will endeavor to find an amicable solution within 60 days. Failing amicable resolution, the competent courts shall be those within the jurisdiction of the publisher's headquarters (Saint-Denis de La Réunion), including for users residing outside France.

If any clause of these Terms is declared null or unenforceable, the other clauses shall remain in force and unaffected.

For any questions regarding these Terms, you may contact the publisher at: contact@theposterityproject.io
