Terms of Use

Last updated: 4 November 2026

1. Who we are

These terms are a contract between you and the publisher (“Boxaday”, “we”) for the use of the Boxaday app and website (the “Service”). By creating an account you accept them. Please also read our Privacy Policy.

2. The Service

Boxaday lets a group of people prepare a calendar together: each day a box opens with something the members added (a text, photo, voice recording, video or link). A calendar can be shared by its members or made for someone who receives it through a gift link.

The Service is free. Some opening animations are premium: you can unlock one for a single box by watching an ad, or buy it, or all of them, through the App Store to use it in every box, for good. Purchases are made, charged and refunded by Apple under its own terms; they are attached to your Boxaday account and can be restored from your profile. Some animations are only offered at certain times of year: what you bought stays available whatever the season. Ads only appear when you choose to watch one.

3. Your account

• You must be at least 15 years old to use Boxaday.
• You sign in with Apple, Google or a code sent by e-mail. Keep access to that account or address safe: whoever controls it can use your Boxaday account.
• Use a name that doesn't mislead others about who you are, and one account per person.
• You can delete your account at any time in Profile → Delete account.

4. Calendars

• The creator sets up the calendar, invites people and starts it. Anyone who has an invite link can join until the calendar starts, so share links only with people you want in it.
• After the start, each participant gets boxes to fill before their deadline. A box that isn't filled in time is “missed”.
• Boxes open one a day at midnight in the calendar's time zone. Before that, nobody can see what is inside.
• You can leave a calendar at any time, keeping or removing the items you added.

5. Your content

You keep all rights to what you add. You are responsible for it and you confirm you have the right to share it, including the consent of the people who appear in your photos, videos or recordings.

To run the Service, you give us a free, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to store, copy, technically adapt (for example compress or resize) and show your content to the people who can see the calendar. This licence is only for running Boxaday and ends when your content is deleted, apart from backups, which are erased within 35 days.

Members can see your content once its box is open, and nothing prevents them from taking a screenshot. Only share what you're happy for them to keep.

6. Rules

Do not use Boxaday to:

• post anything illegal: content that is hateful, harassing, threatening, violent or terrorist; content sexualising minors; intimate images shared without consent;
• post someone's image, voice or private information without their consent, or impersonate someone;
• infringe someone else's copyright, trademark or other rights;
• send spam, malware or links to scams;
• disrupt the Service, get around its limits (for example to see a box before it opens), access it by automated means, or copy or reverse engineer the app, except where the law allows it.

7. Removing content and reporting

• Remove: you can remove your own items at any time. Any member who can see an item in an open box can also remove it. Removing deletes the item and its files for everyone, at once and for good. We don't review removals.
• Hide: you can hide a person so you no longer see what they add, in every calendar.
• Report: to report content you believe is illegal, write to hello@boxaday.app with: why you think it is illegal; where it is (calendar, day, author); your name and e-mail address (not required for reports of child sexual abuse material); and a statement that your report is accurate and made in good faith. We confirm receipt, handle the report carefully and without undue delay, tell you what we decided, and how to contest it.

We don't use automated tools to moderate content. If we restrict your content or account, we tell you the reasons, and you can contest the decision by writing to us, without prejudice to your right to go to court. If we become aware of content suggesting a threat to someone's life or safety, we inform the competent authorities.

Point of contact for users and authorities (EU Digital Services Act, art. 11 and 12): hello@boxaday.app, in English or French.

8. Our rights

The app, its design, illustrations, opening animations and its library of box themes belong to us or our licensors. We give you a personal, non-transferable right to use the app for its intended purpose while you have an account.

9. Availability and changes to the Service

We do our best to keep Boxaday available and working, but there may be interruptions for maintenance or for reasons beyond our control. We may improve, change or remove features; we will tell you in advance about changes that significantly affect you. Boxaday is not a backup service: keep your own copies of photos and videos that matter to you.

If we decide to stop the Service, we will tell you at least 30 days before.

10. Suspension and termination

You can stop using Boxaday and delete your account at any time. We may remove content, or suspend or close an account, in case of serious or repeated breach of these terms or when the law requires it. Except in urgent cases (for example to protect someone), we warn you first, and we always tell you the reasons.

11. Liability

We are responsible for providing the Service as described in these terms. Members are responsible for what they add; as the host of that content, we are only liable for it if we don't act promptly once we know it is clearly illegal. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law (for example for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or gross negligence) or your rights as a consumer, including the legal guarantee of conformity of digital services where it applies.

12. Apple App Store

If you downloaded Boxaday from the App Store: these terms are between you and us, not Apple, and we, not Apple, are responsible for the app and its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it. To the extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app, and we, not Apple, handle any claim relating to it (product liability, legal or regulatory compliance, consumer protection, intellectual property). You confirm you are not in a country under a US Government embargo or on a US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms, for example when the Service or the law changes. We will tell you in the app at least 30 days before a significant change applies. If you don't agree, you can delete your account before then; if you keep using Boxaday after that date, the new terms apply.

14. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by French law. If you are a consumer living in another country, you also keep the protection of the mandatory rules of that country.

If you have a problem, write to us first at hello@boxaday.app: we will try to find a solution. If that fails, you can go to the competent court, including, as a consumer, the court of the place where you live.
