These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) and the Privacy Policy, attached as Annex I, govern the rules applicable to the use of the “Dots. Memories” application (hereinafter, the “APP”). Downloading or using the APP grants User status to whoever does so and implies acceptance of all the Terms included in this document and any future modifications. The User acknowledges having read these Terms before using the APP and each time they use it, as they may be modified unilaterally, without prejudice to proper notification of such changes to the User.
Likewise, to the extent that the User acquires paid functionalities or services within the APP, they acknowledge having read and accepted the Purchase Terms attached as Annex II.
To provide our Services (as described below) through the APP—including the services, functionalities, and software we make available to the User—it is necessary to expressly accept these Terms.
“Company” refers to Publicidad Kalepolin, S.L. (hereinafter, the “Company”), with registered office at Calle Pizarro, 23, bajo, 46004, Valencia, Tax ID B-44.591.170, and registered in the Commercial Registry of Valencia, volume 11,306, page 189, sheet V-208,821.
1. INFORMATION ABOUT OUR SERVICES
Privacy and Security Principles.
Since the launch of the APP, we have built our Services on solid privacy and security principles.
Create and preserve memories:
We allow Users to create memories by day within calendars of a calendar year by uploading photos or videos associated with specific days or moments.
Organize your gallery.
Users can store their most important memories in the APP and delete from their mobile device those they do not consider valuable to free up space.
Create albums for events.
A space where all guests can upload the best memories of an event.
Connect with others.
We offer Users different ways to communicate with other APP users by creating messaging groups, which include sending messages, images, and videos, as well as the ability to share status updates. The APP collaborates with partners, service providers, and affiliated companies to offer ways to connect with their services.
Protection, security, and integrity.
We work to ensure the protection, security, and integrity of our Services. This includes properly managing individuals or conduct that violates our Terms. We take measures to prohibit misuse of our Services, including conduct that harms others. If we detect such individuals or behavior, we will take appropriate measures, such as removing or disabling user profiles or related activities, or notifying the competent authorities.
Granting access to our Services.
To operate our Services globally, we must store, process, and distribute content and information in our data centers and systems.
Registration.
The User must register to use our Services by providing truthful information, including a current email address and/or a valid mobile phone number, and update such information within our APP if any changes occur. The User agrees to receive SMS messages (from us or third-party providers) with codes to register for our Services. In any case, the User is solely responsible for maintaining and ensuring access to their APP account, without prejudice to the APP offering alternative access or login methods.
Contact list.
The User may use the contact upload feature to include their contact list in messaging groups or various APP functionalities. As service providers, we will have access to the information contained in the User’s contact list.
Age.
The User must be of sufficient legal age to give their consent freely in accordance with the applicable legislation in their place of residence. Therefore, the User declares being at least 13 years old to use our Services, or the age of majority required in their country or territory to register or use our Services without parental authorization. In addition to the minimum age required by applicable law, if the User is not old enough to accept our Terms in their country or territory, their parent or legal guardian must accept our Terms on their behalf for them to use our Services.
Devices and software.
The User must have certain devices, software, and data connections, which we do not provide, to be able to use our Services. Likewise, to use our Services, the User agrees to download and install updates to them, either manually or automatically. The User also agrees to receive notifications from our Services when necessary for their proper provision.
Costs and taxes.
The User is responsible for expenses and costs arising from their mobile operator’s data plans, internet usage fees, and any other cost or tax associated with using our Services. However, our Services are currently free except for Premium Users, without prejudice to certain functionalities that may be available for a fee.
Advertising.
By using the APP, the User agrees to be shown advertisements from companies and organizations (third parties or linked to the Company) that maintain a commercial relationship with the Company for their promotion on the Company’s platforms. Relevant and useful advertising will be shown without revealing the User’s identity to advertisers. User information will not be sold. Advertisers may provide information such as their business objectives and the type of audience they want to target with their ads. This allows us to show their ads to people we believe will find them relevant.
Likewise, advertisers may receive reports on the performance of their ads to understand how people interact with their content, both inside and outside the APP. For example, generic data on interests and demographics may be provided to help them better understand their audience. Information that directly identifies the User (such as their name or phone number, which could be used to contact or identify the User) will not be shared, unless the User gives their express consent, which, in no case, will be presumed.
2. ACCEPTABLE USE OF OUR SERVICES

3. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
Our Services may allow the User to access websites, applications, content, or other products and services from third parties, as well as products from companies belonging to the Company’s group, allowing the User to use or interact with them.
These Terms and the Privacy Policy (attached as Annex I) apply only to the use of our Services. When the User uses third-party products or services, such use will be governed by their own terms and privacy policies.
4. LICENSES GRANTED
User Rights.
The APP does not claim ownership of the photos or information sent or stored in the APP or through messaging services, without prejudice to their processing or storage. The User must have the necessary rights to the information they send to their APP account or through such groups, as well as the right to grant the rights and licenses described in our Terms.
APP Rights.
We own all copyrights, trademarks (registered or not), domains, logos, trade dress, trade secrets, patents, and other intellectual or industrial property rights associated with our Services. The User may not use our copyrights, trademarks (or similar signs), domains, logos, trade dress, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual or industrial property rights unless they obtain our express authorization.
License in favor of the APP.
In order to operate and provide our Services, the User grants the APP a license to any intellectual property rights that may arise from their use of the APP, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable, to use, reproduce, distribute, create derivative works, publish, display, and perform the information (including content) that the User uploads, submits, stores, sends, or receives through our Services. The rights granted under this license are granted exclusively for the limited purpose of operating and providing our Services. The duration of the license will be equal to the duration of the corresponding intellectual property rights.
This license will remain in effect as long as the User’s content is protected by intellectual property rights. If the User deletes content covered by this license from our Services, our systems will ensure that such content ceases to be publicly available within a reasonable time, unless the User previously shared it with others before deleting it. For example, if a photo was shared with a friend and they made a copy or shared it again, the photo may continue to appear in that friend’s APP account even if the User has deleted it from theirs.
APP License to the User.
We grant the User a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable license to use our Services, subject to and in accordance with our Terms. This license is granted solely to allow the use of our Services in the manner intended in our Terms. No other licenses or rights will be granted to the User implicitly or by any other means, except those expressly granted.
5. NOTIFICATION OF INFRINGEMENTS
(COPYRIGHT, TRADEMARKS, OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL OR INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES, PERSONAL DATA)
Action may be taken regarding the User’s account, including its deactivation or suspension, if there is a clear, serious, or repeated infringement of third-party intellectual or industrial property rights, or when required by legal reasons.
The User is obliged to report to the Company any incident, act, or omission they detect against the copyright, trademark, or other intellectual or industrial property rights of the APP, the Company, or third parties, including attempts or actions related to violations of the personal data protection policy, unlawful data transfers, or mass theft of data from other Users, including phishing or hacking attempts.
6. DISCLAIMERS AND EXCLUSIONS OF LIABILITY
The User uses our Services at their sole and exclusive risk and is subject to the following disclaimers of liability.
We provide our Services “as is” and without express or implied warranties of any kind, including, but not limited to, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, or absence of viruses or other harmful code. Likewise, we are not responsible for cyberattacks that may result in unauthorized disclosures or theft of Users’ personal data by actors or processes outside the Company’s control.
We do not guarantee that the information provided by us or by platform Users is accurate, complete, or useful; that our Services will be operational, error-free, protected, or secure; or that they will function without interruptions, delays, or imperfections.
We do not control or are responsible for monitoring how or when Users use our Services or the features, services, and interfaces they provide.
We are not responsible for or obligated to monitor the actions or information (including content) of our Users or third parties.
The User releases us, our affiliates, and our directors, administrators, employees, partners, and agents from any claim, complaint, demand, action, dispute, or damage—known or unknown—related to or connected in any way with any claim the User may have against a third party.
We are not responsible for the deletion of images that the User may perform from their photo gallery within the APP. For example, if the User deletes one or all photos from their device’s gallery using the APP, those photos will also be deleted from the device. The User releases the APP from any liability arising from such deletions.
7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
The Company and the APP will only be responsible for the following:
The APP will provide the Services with due professional diligence. Provided it has acted with such diligence, the APP will not accept liability for damages or losses that were not caused by a breach of these Terms or by our actions; for losses that were not reasonably foreseeable by the User or by us at the time of accepting the Terms; or for events outside our reasonable control.
The Company and the APP expressly exclude from their liability regime, by way of example, losses, unauthorized transfers or theft of personal data, as well as phishing or hacking acts carried out by third parties unrelated to the Company or the APP.
8. AVAILABILITY AND TERMINATION OF OUR SERVICES
Availability of our Services.
We continuously work to improve our Services. As a result, we may expand, add, remove, or discontinue certain Services, functionalities, or compatibility with specific devices and platforms. Our Services may be interrupted due to maintenance, repairs, updates, equipment or network failures, or force majeure.
Termination.
The User may terminate their relationship with the APP at any time and for any reason by deleting their account. This will not affect our right to terminate the relationship for just cause. Just cause will be considered a breach of the law, third-party rights, or these Terms.
If termination arises from a breach of the obligations set forth in these Terms, cancellation will only be permitted once a cure period has elapsed without the infringement being corrected or no response being received. This will not apply if the breaching party refuses to comply or if special circumstances exist that justify immediate termination.
We may also modify, suspend, or terminate the User’s access to or use of our Services at any time if we detect suspicious or unlawful activity, including fraud, or if we have reason to believe the User has violated our Terms or caused harm, risk, or legal exposure to us, our users, or third parties. Likewise, we may deactivate or delete accounts that remain inactive for an extended period.
If the User deletes their account or if we deactivate or delete it, these Terms will cease to apply, except for the provisions relating to Licenses, Disclaimers of Liability, Limitation of Liability, Dispute Resolution, Availability, and Other Applicable Provisions, which will continue in effect.
9. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
If the User is a consumer, the law of their country or territory will apply to any claim they may bring against us arising from these Terms or our Services. Such claims may be brought before the competent court of that country or territory.
In all other cases, the User agrees that any claim must be resolved before a competent court located in Spain, which will have jurisdiction, and that Spanish law will govern these Terms and any dispute, regardless of conflict of law rules.
10. OTHER APPLICABLE PROVISIONS
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between the User and us in relation to the APP and our Services, superseding any prior agreement.
We reserve the right to determine that certain Services may be governed by independent terms and conditions, which the User may be required to accept separately.
We constantly work to improve our Services and develop new functionalities that enhance the experience of Users and the community. Therefore, we may update these Terms periodically to more accurately reflect our Services and practices. We will only make changes when the clauses are outdated or incomplete. Unless required by law, we will publish such changes with reasonable notice and ensure they are fair and proportionate to the User. Once the changes take effect, continued use of our Services will imply acceptance of the updated Terms. If the User does not agree, they must stop using the Services and delete their account.
All rights and obligations set forth in these Terms may be freely assigned by us to any of our affiliates or in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets. In such case, we will only transfer User data in accordance with applicable regulations and, when necessary, request the corresponding consent.
The User may not assign any of their rights or obligations under these Terms to a third party without our prior written consent.
The fact that we do not require compliance with a provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such provision.
If any provision of these Terms is deemed unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, it will be modified only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable. If it cannot be made enforceable, it will be removed, with the remaining provisions remaining fully in effect.

We retain information for as long as necessary for the purposes identified in this Privacy Policy, including the provision of our Services or for other legitimate purposes, such as compliance with legal obligations, the enforcement of our Terms and the prevention of their breach, the fight against spam, or the protection and defense of our rights, property, and users.
In certain cases, we also retain User information for legal reasons, even after their account has been deleted, including for the following purposes:
– Responding to a legal request or complying with applicable law when we have a legal obligation to retain information. For example, if we receive a valid legal request regarding an account, such as a preservation order or a search warrant, we will retain the information even after the account has been deleted.
– Managing and resolving requests and claims.
– Addressing litigation and regulatory issues. For example, we retain information when reasonably necessary in connection with a claim, such as when we are the subject of a regulatory investigation or need to defend ourselves in a legal proceeding related to an account or a User’s information, or respond to a regulatory authority regarding a claim filed by the User or another person.
– For matters related to the security, protection, and integrity of our Services, as well as to protect rights, property, and Users. For example, we retain information when necessary to investigate misuse of our Services, such as spamming or other negative experiences. If we deactivate an account for breach of our Terms, we will also retain information about that User for security, protection, and integrity purposes.
DOTS APP PURCHASE TERMS
These Purchase Terms (“Purchase Terms”) regulate purchases made by the User through the APP and the use of the APP services or features referred to in these Purchase Terms. By acquiring an APP service or feature, the User accepts the Purchase Terms and the APP’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
The User acknowledges that they have the authorization and the minimum age required to place an order in the APP and to carry out any other legal act required under these Purchase Terms.
SERVICES SUBJECT TO PAYMENT
The APP may offer features or services subject to payment at any time, the characteristics of which will be provided to the User during their interaction with the APP itself. Non-free features subject to payment will be clearly indicated within the APP to avoid confusion or errors by the User. Features may be offered as a one-time purchase for a specific period or on a recurring basis through temporary subscriptions. Hereinafter, such features subject to payment and regulated by these Purchase Terms will be referred to as the “Services”.
PRICES AND TAXES
The prices of the Services offered by the APP at any given time will be those shown to the User within the APP. Price changes will not affect orders that have already been accepted by the APP.
Unless otherwise stated, prices shown in the APP do not include taxes or charges (“Taxes”) that may apply to the User’s purchase. Taxes will be shown on the purchase confirmation page. The User is solely responsible for the payment of such Taxes and associated costs.
Depending on the User’s location, some transactions may require currency conversion or be processed in another country. The bank may apply additional fees for conversion or processing services when the User uses a credit or debit card. The User should contact their bank for more information.
Unless applicable law provides otherwise in favor of the User, all purchases of Services in the APP are final and non-refundable, meaning that the Services are considered non-returnable and non-refundable.
BILLING
The APP may offer different methods for the User to make payments and be billed for the Services provided.
When the User selects a payment method in the APP:
(i) they declare that they are authorized to use the payment method provided and that any payment information provided is true and accurate;
(ii) they authorize the APP to charge the corresponding amount for any Service purchased; and
(iii) they authorize the APP to charge the corresponding amount for any feature they choose to use or subscribe to.
By clicking “Authorize Payment” or any equivalent indication, the User confirms that the credit or debit card or any card associated with a secure payment platform belongs to them.
If necessary, the User will update their account whenever there is a change in their information, including their email address, credit or debit card numbers, and expiration dates, so that the APP can complete transactions and contact the User regarding them when necessary.
The APP may make the charge:
(i) in advance;
(ii) at the time of purchase;
(iii) shortly after purchase; or
(iv) on a periodic basis in the case of subscriptions, in accordance with applicable law.
AVAILABILITY, QUANTITY, AND ORDER LIMITS
Prices of Services and their availability are subject to change at any time and without notice.
Certain digital content of the Services may not be available at certain times or may be offered for a limited time. Availability may be affected by any reason, including the region or location of the User’s device. Therefore, if the User changes the region associated with their account or device, they may need to re-purchase digital content they had already paid for in their previous region.
Unless applicable law provides otherwise, the APP has no obligation to provide a new download.
The APP may impose limits on the quantities of Services purchased per order, per account, per credit card, or per User.
The APP reserves the right to reject, deny, cancel, terminate, or not process any order (including accepted orders) at any time. Only in such cases and at the APP’s discretion, the User will receive a refund of any amount paid for the order for reasons such as: the User not meeting the conditions specified at the time of the order, the payment not being able to be processed, or the Services not being available.
In case of pricing errors, the APP may, at its discretion, (i) cancel the order or purchase, or (ii) contact the User for further instructions. In case of cancellation, access to any digital content of the Services will be disabled.
The APP may disable access to Service content for any reason, such as misuse of the APP. It may also remove or disable digital content of the Services on the User’s device for justified reasons.
The User also acknowledges that they make the purchase at their own risk and that the APP offers the Services “as is”, “with all faults”, and “as available”.
MODIFICATIONS TO THE PURCHASE TERMS
The APP may modify the Purchase Terms at any time and without notice. The Purchase Terms in effect at the time the User places the order will govern the purchase and constitute the sales contract with the APP.
Before a subsequent purchase, the APP may have modified the Purchase Terms without notice. Users are recommended to review the Purchase Terms each time they visit the APP.
We recommend saving or printing a copy of the Purchase Terms for future reference when acquiring a Service.
