End-User License Agreement

The terms, in plain language

Last updated October 8, 2026

All Our Years is made by a very small, independent team. This agreement is written to be readable, not to bury you in legalese, but it's still the real terms that govern your purchase.

Refunds: if All Our Years is not for you, you get a 14-day, no-questions refund on direct purchases, handled through Polar. Mac App Store purchases are refunded through Apple.

1. License grant

Subject to this agreement, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use All Our Years:

One purchase covers one household: you and the people you live with, on up to 3 Macs (5 Macs with the Family Pack). A license may not be resold or sublicensed to others. You can move a license to a different Mac at any time by deactivating a seat in Settings first.

2. The free version

The free version reads your entire photo archive, but limits browsing to 100 photos from every year and the 10 earliest videos; the rest stays blurred until you unlock. The free version has no time limit and does not expire.

3. What you may not do

4. Your files are your responsibility

All Our Years reads the photos and videos on your own drive, strictly read-only, and is designed never to modify, move, rename, or delete anything on it. That said, you are responsible for maintaining your own backups of your archive. We strongly recommend a real backup plan (see the 3-2-1 guidance on our site) independent of All Our Years entirely.

5. Disclaimer of warranties

All Our Years 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, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

6. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our total liability arising out of or related to this agreement or your use of All Our Years will not exceed the amount you actually paid for your license. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of data, even if advised of the possibility.

7. Termination

This license terminates automatically if you materially breach this agreement (for example, redistributing a license key). We may also terminate a specific license in cases of confirmed fraud or chargeback abuse. Termination doesn't affect refund rights already earned under Section 8.

8. Refunds

Purchases made through Polar are eligible for a full refund within 14 days of purchase, no questions asked. Request one directly through Polar or by emailing us.

9. Mac App Store purchases

If you obtained All Our Years from the Mac App Store, your use is also subject to Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement, and refunds for those purchases go through Apple.

10. Family Circle subscription

Family Circle, the optional sharing add-on, is a subscription billed yearly. You can cancel it at any time. The app itself does not require a subscription.

11. Governing law

This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update this agreement from time to time. We'll update the date at the top of this page when we do, and material changes will be noted in the release notes for the relevant app version.
