With all of the natural disaster (floods/fires etc) going on in the
world I've been looking for a way to preserve my photos! I have finally
found a way (after my sister lost every picture she had in a house fire
while she was on her honeymoon!) Here it is- I thought I'd share it
with everyone!

Preserve, Organize, Share and Enjoy!!!  Upload, archive and share your
old and new photos- try it out- it's free and it just received an award

for easy to use!  Saved on 12 different servers and backed up and taken
to
a granite vault for your protection so you never lose your memories!
Accessible anywhere- just need the internet! A great company whose
prints are 12 cents and less!
The great thing is you download the pictures to a
website that is your very own. You can organize your photos for FREE.
The website is free AND the first 20 (4x6) prints and first 8x10 you
make are also free.
Nothing to lose. Try it out! Also there are lots of other products like

calendars, slideshows, albums, plus fun stuff like mugs and t-shirts.
Shipping is FAST and affordable. Another great service is you can dust
off all those old photos that are stored under your bed or in your
closet and send them in to the company. They will scan them for you and

put them up on your website then send your photos back to you. You can
also send in negatives or slides! Starting the first of January you can
send in those old home movies and 8mm films and have them preserved as
well as freeze it and pull pictures out of a certain part of a movie
that you want a picture of! You can also have them put onto DVD!
Services you can't find anywhere else.

The comany is called PhotoMax and they are backed up by NuSkin (which
has been around 21 years already) and they are a stable company. It is
not a scam (I thought it was at
first too) but do whatever you want, I was trying to help share
something that I found that I love. You can all be jerks if you want
to- saying i'm posting my own replies- which my time is too valuable
for me to do, but do whatever you want. If you decide to check it out,
then fine!  Nothing to Lose...

YMMV on what constitutes a 'scam'...

...but my personal rule of thumb is to go read through the fine print
of the company's Terms of Service (TOS) to see if they're granting
themselves unlimited rights to my photographic works.

>From PhotoMax's relevant section in their TOS, they cleary are granting
themselves a permanent and effectively unlimited licence to their
customers' copyrighted works:

"8.Copyrights:

a) License to Photomax: As a condition to your Membership, you hereby
grant Photomax a perpetual, universal, nonexclusive right to copy,
display, modify, transmit, make derivative works of and distribute any
Content transmitted or provided to the Service by you, solely for the
purpose of providing the Service..."

BTW, one thing that I find quite interesting about this text is the
statement that this is "solely" for providing the Service, yet they
insisted upon having rights to MODIFIED and DERIVATIVE versions of your
works.  This is clearly skullduggery.

Furthermore, the TOS also states:

"b) Backup Copies of Images and Other Material: The Service is not
designed or intended to be used as a disaster recovery facility or as
an emergency data storage facility."

..which makes Jessica's claim of "Archive and Preserve ... FOREVER"  a
blatant, flat out lie.
