At bucketnote (referred to throughout as “we,” “us” and “our”) we are committed to providing the best possible service to our customers through our website, www.bucketnote.com (the “Site”). As used herein, the terms “you” and “your” refer to each customer, user and visitor to the Site. The following terms and conditions (the “Terms”) apply to the use of all services provided by us to you whether via the Site or a mobile application and to the use of our Site (collectively, the “Services”). As we continuously aim to improve, we may update these Terms from time to time. We encourage you to check back frequently for changes and updates. These Terms, which include our Privacy Policy, govern your access to and use of the Services and constitute a binding legal agreement between you and us.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE OF THE SITE
  1. Generally. BY ACCESSING, USING, VIEWING, TRANSMITTING, CACHING OR STORING THIS SITE OR ANY OF THE SERVICES, FUNCTIONS OR CONTENTS, YOU SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE AGREED TO THESE TERMS WITHOUT MODIFICATION. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, PLEASE CEASE USE OF THE SERVICES AND LEAVE THE SITE IMMEDIATELY.

    WE MAY REVISE THESE TERMS AT ANY TIME AND WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO REVIEW THESE TERMS PERIODICALLY. IF, AT ANY TIME, YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS, PLEASE CEASE ALL USE OF THE SERVICES AND LEAVE THE SITE IMMEDIATELY.

  2. Services. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, bucketnote hereby grants you permission to use the Services. bucketnote is an app and a web-based platform, which allows you to preserve your memories, thoughts and important milestones for friends, family and future generations when you’re gone. With bucketnote’s features, you can upload photos, videos, voice memos and write notes while saving the entries as you go. Your bucketnotes will be kept secure and private until after your death and delivered at that time.

    As set forth below, we provide several verification opportunities as part of our Services to ensure that you are deceased before any bucketcapsule, bucketnote or other posthumous messages are distributed on your behalf.

    Your bucketpals play an important part in verification and we recommend you select your bucketpals with care.

    Your bucketpals will not be able to access the information contained in your bucketnotes and/or bucketcapsules.

    The bucketnote delivery and activation process is as follows:

    There are two (2) ways bucketnote will deliver your bucketnotes - bucketchecks and/or bucketpals. You must choose one or both.
    • bucketcheck option
      • If you select bucketchecks, we’ll email/text you periodically (weekly, monthly, bi-annually or annually) to make sure you’re still with us. You choose how often and whether by email and/or text.
      • If you’ve selected bucketchecks and you don’t respond to your bucketcheck, we’ll send you a series of fourteen (14) verification emails (one a day) to confirm your status (alive or dead).
      • If you don’t respond after the FINAL verification email, your notes will be sent after a seven (7) day grace period.
      • Unless you’ve selected the “check with a friend” option (you can select up to five (5) friends) whereupon we will send the selected individual(s) seven (7) consecutive emails (one a day) to confirm your status (alive or dead). They will have this time to let us know if you’re still with us. If we receive no response from your friend(s), we will send out your notes after a seven (7) day grace period.
    • bucketpal option
      • If you decide you’d rather not have a bucketcheck, you’ll need to select a bucketpal (choose up to five (5) friends) who will activate your notes after you’re deceased by punching in a bucketcode on our Site at the right time.
      • When your bucketnotes are activated via a bucketcode by a bucketpal, you will receive seven (7) emails on consecutive days to stop your notes from being sent in case you’re still alive. If there is no response after that seven-day period of time, your notes will be sent after another seven (7) day grace period.
    • bucketcheck & bucketpal option
      • If you choose bucketchecks AND bucketpals for delivery, a bucketcode entered by a bucketpal will supersede a bucketcheck. In other words, someone’s bucketcheck might be six months from now, but if a bucketcode is entered (after the seven (7) emails sent to the user and seven (7) day grace period) the notes will be sent regardless of when the bucketcheck is meant to happen.
    3. Bucketcapsules
    • bucketnote also has an add-on feature to its mobile application – the bucketcapsule, which lets you send a multimedia (video, text, audio and photographs) to one recipient up to 100 years in the future. You can pick a date such as grandchild’s birthday (date-specific capsules) or an event like the wedding of a child or birth of a first grandchild (event- based capsules).
    • For event-based capsules you must choose at least one bucketpal (and up to five) to handle the delivery of your capsule via a bucketcode. For date-specific capsules, if you don’t have the recipient’s email or mobile (such as for an infant), you must choose a bucketpal to enter the information and handle delivery via a bucketcode. If you do have an email and/or mobile for a date-specific capsule, we suggest you also select a bucketpal to update the recipients’ information as mobiles and emails tend to change over time.
    • If you have selected bucketpal(s) we will send them annual reminders about your bucketcapsule until it's delivered. Your bucketpal(s) will have the option to opt out of the reminder.
