Contact: support@lavni.fr · Legal questions: legal@lavni.fr · Reports: report@lavni.fr

Hosting: capsules and their files are hosted by Supabase, Inc. in the European Union (Ireland); the lavni.fr website by Vercel Inc., 440 N Barranca Ave #4133, Covina, CA 91723, USA.

2. The service

Lavni seals messages, photos, videos and voice recordings in a time capsule that only opens on the date you choose. No account is needed: a capsule is tied to its creator's e-mail address and opens through its private link.

• Private capsule: one author. A 6-digit secret code (PIN), shown only once, opens it before its date.
• Collaborative capsule: the author invites other people by link, QR code or short code; each of them adds a message, a photo, a video or, with Sur-mesure, a voice message, without creating an account. The capsule seals when the contribution window closes.
• The opening date is enforced by our servers and can no longer be changed once the capsule is sealed. On that date the capsule opens by itself, with or without the secret code, and its recipients are told by e-mail.
• PDF documents, depending on the plan: certificate of sealing, invitation card, A5 poster, memory book or guest book. Before the opening date, the certificate's QR code only proves the certificate is genuine; from that date on, it opens the capsule. Keep a certificate as you would a key.

3. Plans and prices

• Simple — free: one message of up to 300 characters, one recipient, no files.
• Legacy — €9.99: up to 5 files, for openings far in the future.
• Wedding — €29.99 and Birthday — €19.99 (Gold Edition): a dedication, up to 5 files, any number of guests with voice messages and a ZIP archive of the guest book, a secret code; a gilded certificate, invitation card, poster and guest book.
• Personalised capsule — €24.99: a goal, theme and colour of your choice, shown at the opening; up to 5 files; any number of guests if you open the capsule to contributions; a secret code. It includes no guest book, poster or ZIP archive.
• Collaboration S — €5.99: up to 25 contributions. Collaboration L — €12.99: up to 100 contributions. Each message left counts as one contribution.

Plans no longer offered, but still sold in versions 1.0.3 and earlier of the apps: Plus — €2.99 (a message and one photo); Memory — €4.99 (up to 3 files: photo, video, audio); Sur-mesure — €14.99 (an occasion of your choice, a dedication, up to 5 files, any number of guests with voice messages and a ZIP archive of the guest book, a secret code). A capsule bought on one of these plans keeps everything it included.

Maximum size per file: 10 MB for a photo, 50 MB for a video or an audio file, within the limits the app shows when you upload.

Prices include all taxes. On lavni.fr they are charged in euros. In the apps, the price shown by the App Store or Google Play, in your currency and with your country's taxes, prevails. Every purchase is a one-off: it is not a subscription and nothing renews.

4. Ordering and payment

To buy a capsule, you choose the plan, compose the capsule, check the summary and its price, read the notice recalling these Terms above the payment button, then pay.

On lavni.fr, payment is handled by Stripe (card, Apple Pay, Google Pay…). In the apps, it goes through App Store or Google Play in-app purchase. Lavni never receives your card details.

A capsule is only activated once payment is confirmed. A confirmation e-mail then sums up the capsule and its opening date and, for a purchase on lavni.fr, your request for immediate performance. The payment receipt is sent by Stripe, Apple or Google; an invoice can be requested from support@lavni.fr.

5. Right of withdrawal

A consumer in the European Union normally has 14 days to withdraw from a distance purchase.

On lavni.fr, by paying after the notice telling you so, above the payment button of lavni.fr and of Stripe, you ask for your capsule to be activated and its digital documents supplied immediately, before that period ends, and you acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal once this is done (Article L221-28 13° of the French Consumer Code; Article 16(m) of Directive 2011/83/EU). This request is confirmed to you by e-mail. The purchase is then final.

For a purchase in the app, the sale is made by Apple or Google, whose terms govern the right of withdrawal, cancellation and refunds: request one at reportaproblem.apple.com for the App Store, or from your Google Play order history. Lavni cannot cancel or refund an in-app purchase itself.

6. Refunds and legal guarantees

An activated capsule is not refunded for a mere change of mind. However, if it does not work as described, for example if it does not open on its date or if its content is lost through our fault, you benefit from the legal guarantee of conformity for digital content and services (Articles L224-25-12 et seq. of the French Consumer Code): the capsule is brought into conformity, or the price is reduced or refunded. Write to support@lavni.fr with the capsule reference. A payment taken without the capsule being activated is refunded.

These legal guarantees apply whatever the purchase channel, and nothing in these Terms excludes them.

7. Minimum age

Lavni is for people who have reached the age required in their country to use an online service on their own (15 in France, between 13 and 16 depending on the EU country, 13 in the United States), or who have the consent of a parent or guardian. A purchase by a minor requires the consent of a parent or guardian.

8. Your content

You remain the owner of what you upload. For as long as the capsule is kept, you grant Lavni the right to host, encrypt, reproduce and present it to the people you chose (recipients, participants, holders of the certificate after the date), for the sole purpose of providing the service.

You confirm that you hold the necessary rights to what you upload, in particular the consent of anyone recognisable in a photo, a video or a recording.

You may not upload content that is illegal, hateful, harassing, threatening or violent; pornographic or sexually explicit; infringing the rights of others (image rights, privacy, intellectual property); or containing malware. Any child sexual abuse material is reported to the authorities.

The creator of a collaborative capsule chooses whom to invite. Anyone can block a participant, which hides their contributions on that device.

9. Reporting and moderation

Lavni does not monitor capsules in general. A person only looks at content after a report or at the request of an authority.

• Report: in the app, with the "Report" button on a contribution, or by e-mail to report@lavni.fr, giving the capsule's link or reference, the content concerned, why you believe it is illegal, your name and e-mail address (unless it concerns child sexual abuse) and a statement of good faith. We acknowledge receipt and tell you what we decided.
• Time: every report is reviewed within 24 hours.
• Measures: removal of the contribution, deletion of the capsule, closing of contributions, reporting to the competent authorities, in particular when someone's life or safety is threatened. No decision is taken by an automated system.
• Reasons and appeal: when we remove content, we tell its author the reasons if we have their contact details. Any decision can be contested within 6 months by writing to support@lavni.fr, and is then reviewed again. You can also go to the competent court.
• Point of contact under Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act): report@lavni.fr, for authorities and users alike, in French, English or Spanish.

10. Retention and availability

An opened capsule stays available for 30 days after its opening date; it is then permanently deleted with all its files, guest contributions included. An e-mail reminds you 7 days and again 1 day before: download what you want to keep before then (memory book, guest book, ZIP archive). Capsules opened before 26 September 2026 keep the 90 days announced when they opened.

An unpaid capsule is deleted automatically: 7 days after its payment session expires on lavni.fr, 30 days after it was created in the app.

We do what is needed to keep Lavni available and to open every capsule on its date, but the service may be interrupted for maintenance or because of an incident. Keep your own copies of what matters to you.

11. Liability

Lavni is responsible for providing the service as the law requires. We are not liable for damage caused by content a user uploaded, by a link, secret code or certificate being disclosed by the person who holds it, or by force majeure.

Except for gross negligence or wilful misconduct, personal injury, or a mandatory rule to the contrary, our liability is limited to the price paid for the capsule concerned. Nothing in these Terms limits the rights you have by law as a consumer.

For users outside the European Union, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the service is provided "as is" and "as available".

12. Apple and Google

If you use the iOS or Android app, these Terms are concluded between you and Lavni, not with Apple Inc. or Google LLC, who are not responsible for the app or its content. Apple and Google have no obligation to provide maintenance or support. If the app fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, which will refund its purchase price where applicable. Claims relating to the app (product liability, legal compliance, consumer protection, intellectual property) are Lavni's responsibility.

You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a United States embargo and are not on any US list of restricted persons. You comply with the third-party terms that apply to your use. Apple, Google and their subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them.

13. Personal data

How Lavni handles your data is described in the Privacy Policy, available in the app and at lavni.fr/privacy.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may change these Terms, in particular to follow changes in the service or the law; the date of the last update is shown at the top. A purchase remains governed by the Terms accepted when it was paid. If a significant change affects a capsule in progress, we tell you by e-mail.

15. Governing law, mediation and disputes

These Terms are governed by French law. A consumer living in another country keeps the protection of the mandatory rules of their country of residence.

If something goes wrong, first write to support@lavni.fr: we look for an amicable solution. If your written complaint is not resolved, you can refer the matter free of charge to a consumer mediator (Articles L611-1 et seq. of the French Consumer Code); their details are given in our reply and on request.

Failing agreement, the dispute goes before the competent court; a consumer may bring it before the court of the place where they live.

16. Language and contact

These Terms exist in French, English and Spanish; if they differ, the French version prevails.
