fridge

terms

last changed 15 november 2026

these are the terms for using fridge, the app and befridge.app. fridge is made and run by zac, one person in pennsylvania, usa ("i", "me"). by making an account or using fridge, you agree to them and to the privacy policy. if you don't agree, don't use fridge.

who can use it

you have to be 18 or over, and allowed to use it where you live. one account per person. you can't use fridge if i've banned you before.

your account

your account is a passkey: no password, no email. if you lose your passkey you lose your account, and i can't get it back for you, because there's nothing to check it against. synced passkeys (iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager) keep it across phones. you're responsible for what happens on your account.

everything is public

there are no private accounts. anything you post, and anything you vouch for, can be seen by anyone on fridge. when you vouch for a photo, your handle and face go on it and it goes to your followers, who can vouch for it too. that's how fridge works: once you've posted, you don't control who vouches for it, but you can stop it spreading or delete it at any time.

what you post is yours

you keep the rights to your photos, clips and captions. to run fridge, you give me a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, copy, resize, show and send what you post to people on fridge, including spreading it when people vouch for it. that's all it's for: i won't sell it, use it in ads, or use it or let anyone use it to train AI. the licence ends when you delete the post or your account, except for backups, which are gone within 7 days.

you're saying you have the right to post it: you took it, or you have permission, and the people in it are ok being in it.

the rules

no tolerance for any of this. break them and your posts come down and your account can be banned, without warning.

• no sexual content or nudity.
• nothing that sexualises or endangers children. ever. it's reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and the police.
• no violence, gore, threats, or encouraging anyone to hurt themselves or others.
• no hate: nothing attacking people for their race, ethnicity, religion, disability, gender, sexuality or anything like it.
• no harassment, bullying or stalking. no posting photos of people who clearly don't want to be photographed or posted.
• nothing illegal, and no selling drugs, weapons or anything else.
• no spam, scams, or pretending to be someone else.
• no faking it: no AI images, no photos of screens, no tricking the camera so something spreads that wasn't taken in fridge.
• no posting other people's work as yours.
• no scraping, automating, reverse engineering, or attacking fridge or the people on it.

reporting and blocking

you can report any photo and block anyone, from the photo or their fridge. a report takes the photo out of your feed and goes to me; i look at every one, and act on the ones that break the rules within 24 hours, removing the post and, where it fits, the person who posted it. a block is quiet: they can't see you and you can't see them. you can also email [email protected].

copyright

if something on fridge is yours and was posted without your permission, email [email protected] with: what it is and that it's yours, the handle that posted it, your contact details, a statement that you believe in good faith the use isn't authorised, a statement that what you've said is accurate, under penalty of perjury, and your signature. i'll take it down and tell the person who posted it, who can send a counter-notice. people who keep posting other people's work get banned.

ending it

you can delete your account in the app whenever you like. i can suspend or delete accounts that break these terms or put fridge or anyone on it at risk, and i can change or stop fridge. if i ever shut it down, i'll say so in the app first.

no promises

fridge is free and made by one person. it's provided as it is and as available, without warranties of any kind, as far as the law allows. i don't promise it will always work, be error-free, or keep your posts forever, and i'm not responsible for what other people post. "taken in fridge" means a photo came from the app's camera; it isn't a promise that what's in it is true.

as far as the law allows, i'm not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or lost data or profits, and my total liability for anything to do with fridge is limited to 100 US dollars. if you break these terms or the law and someone makes a claim against me because of it, you'll cover the cost of that claim.

the law

these terms are governed by the law of pennsylvania, usa, without its conflict-of-law rules. any dispute goes to the state or federal courts in pennsylvania, unless the law where you live says otherwise.

Apple

if you got fridge from the App Store: these terms are between you and me, not Apple. Apple isn't responsible for fridge or its content, has no duty to maintain or support it, and isn't responsible for any claims about it, including product liability, legal or regulatory compliance, or intellectual property. if fridge fails to meet any warranty, you can tell Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any; that's Apple's only warranty duty. Apple and its subsidiaries can enforce these terms against you as a third-party beneficiary. you confirm you're not in a country under a US government embargo or on a US list of prohibited or restricted parties.

changes

if these change, the new version goes here with a new date. if it's a big change, the app will say so before it applies. keep using fridge after that and you agree to the new terms.
