Terms & Conditions

Updated: September 2, 2025

Welcome to Scanthology LLC (“Scanthology,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). We specialize in digitizing and archiving your cherished family photographs, films, videos, and other analog artifacts into accessible digital formats. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our website, scanthology.com (the “Site”), and the services provided (collectively, the “Services”).

Please read these terms carefully before using our services. By accessing or using our site or services, or by clicking to accept or agree to the terms when this option is made available to you, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these terms and our privacy policy, incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these terms or the privacy policy, you must not access or use the services.

SCANTHOLOGY RESERVES THE RIGHT, WITH OR WITHOUT NOTICE, TO MAKE CHANGES TO THE TERMS AT OUR DISCRETION. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF ANY PART OF THIS SITE OR ANY SERVICE CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH CHANGES TO THESE TERMS. YOU SHOULD REVIEW THESE TERMS PERIODICALLY TO DETERMINE IF ANY CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE. THE MOST CURRENT VERSION OF THESE TERMS, WHICH SUPERSEDES ALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS, CAN BE REVIEWED BY CLICKING ON THE “TERMS OF SERVICE” LINK ON THE SITE.

Services Provided. Scanthology provides digitization services including scanning, potential restoration, organization, cloud storage, and additional archival services. These services involve converting photographs, slides, negatives, films, tapes, audio recordings, and other analog artifacts (“Materials”) into digital files. Specific services, deliverables, timelines, costs, and other details will be outlined in your specific Service Order, which is incorporated into and forms part of these Terms for that specific engagement.
Shipping and Liability for Loss or Damage.
1. Risk of Loss During Shipment. If you choose to ship Materials to Scanthology using a third-party carrier (e.g., USPS, FedEx, UPS), you bear all risk for loss or damage during transit until we have confirmed receipt of the Materials at our designated facility. Once received, Scanthology assumes responsibility for the care of your Materials, subject to the terms outlined in these Terms.
  1. If Scanthology picks up your Materials directly (e.g., during an in-home consultation or scheduled pickup), risk of loss transfers to Scanthology at the point of handoff and remains with us until your Materials are returned via a method mutually agreed upon and documented in your Service Order.
  2. For return shipment, risk of loss transfers back to you once we deliver the Materials to the designated shipping carrier, unless we are hand-delivering the return. If we deliver the return in person, we retain risk of loss until delivery is completed to an adult resident of the address where it is being delivered. Scanthology will make a reasonable effort to schedule a delivery time. Scanthology reserves the right to use a 3^rd party delivery service if delivery is unsuccessful.
2. Shipping Insurance and Packaging. We strongly recommend that you insure all shipments to us for their full value and package your Materials appropriately to prevent damage during transit. You are responsible for selecting and paying for appropriate packaging and insurance for shipments to us. If you choose not to insure your shipment or package items inadequately, you waive any right to hold Scanthology liable for items that do not arrive or are damaged in transit to us.
3. Return Shipping Policies. You will be responsible for the cost of return shipping, including any insurance you wish to purchase for the return journey, as specified in your Service Order. You must specify the desired level of insurance coverage for return shipping. We strongly recommend purchasing sufficient insurance for the return shipment. If you choose not to insure the return shipment adequately, you accept all risk of loss or damage once the Materials are handed over to the shipping carrier. Scanthology is not liable for late, lost, damaged, or misdirected mail during return transit.
4. Return of Materials Upon Termination or Non-Payment: In the event of termination of Services by either party, or if your account becomes inactive due to non-payment or lack of communication, we will make reasonable attempts to contact you to arrange for the return of your physical Materials. If you remain unresponsive after a reasonable period specified in a final notice, we reserve the right to return your Materials to your last known address via a trackable common carrier (such as USPS, FedEx, or UPS), the cost of which may be charged to you.
5. Extended Storage of Materials Without Successful Delivery: You agree that Scanthology retains no liability for your physical Materials beyond thirty (30) days after providing written notification that your project has been completed and arrangements for return must be made. This 30-day period will begin only after we have made at least two documented attempts to notify you—via email and one additional method (such as SMS or phone call)—using your most recently provided contact information. If delivery or pickup is not successfully coordinated within this timeframe, all risk of loss or damage becomes your responsibility. Scanthology reserves the right, but not the obligation, to continue holding the Materials beyond this period, and may charge additional storage or handling fees as applicable.
Artifact Handling, Restoration, and Risk Acknowledgment
1. Handling. We will use commercially reasonable care in handling your Materials consistent with industry practices for archival materials. If you provide specific handling instructions with your order, we will endeavor to follow them where feasible but cannot guarantee adherence if instructions conflict with our standard processes or safety protocols.
2. Restoration Work: Restoration services, if requested and paid for, may range from basic dust removal to more involved cleaning and digital repair. These processes carry inherent risks. You must specify your risk tolerance for any requested restoration in your Service Order. Scanthology is explicitly not responsible or liable for any damage, alteration, or degradation that occurs as a result of agreed-upon restoration efforts. All restoration work is performed entirely at your risk and subject to the disclaimers and liability limitations contemplated in Section 9.
3. Use of AI and Automated Tools: As part of our Services, Scanthology may use professional editing software or platforms that include embedded artificial intelligence (AI) tools to perform standard image enhancement and cleanup. This may include, but is not limited to, automated color correction, dust and scratch removal, noise reduction, and sharpening. These tools are used strictly to improve the clarity, quality, or organization of your digitized materials and do not generate new content or introduce new visual elements that were not already present in your original Materials.
  1. AI may also be used to help organize your archive (e.g., by identifying faces, sorting by likely location or date, or interpreting handwritten labels), but again, it is not used to fabricate or modify content in a creative or generative way.
  2. By default, you agree to the use of such tools. However, you may opt out of specific automated enhancements or request a list of currently used tools by indicating your preferences in your Service Order. If you opt out, we will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your request, but some features or enhancements may not be available.
  3. These uses are subject to the privacy policies of any third-party platforms involved, as outlined in our Privacy Policy. We never use your content for AI training, marketing, or resale without your express written consent.
Data Security and Privacy. Your submission of personal information through the Site and Services is governed by our Privacy Policy, which can be reviewed by clicking on the “Privacy Policy” link on the Site. The Privacy Policy details how we collect, use, store, protect, and disclose your information, including information processed by third-party tools like AI enhancers. By using the Services, you consent to all actions taken by us with respect to your information in compliance with the Privacy Policy. We implement commercially reasonable security measures to protect digital files but cannot guarantee absolute security. Payment information is handled by third-party processors (e.g., QuickBooks, Square, Wix Payments, PayPal) and is subject to their respective privacy policies.
Ownership and Marketing Permissions.
1. Ownership of Service and Site. The Services and the Site, including all contents, features, and functionality (e.g., software, text, displays, images, video, audio, design, selection, arrangement) are owned by Scanthology, its licensors, or other providers of such material and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws. These Terms permit you to use the Services for your personal, non-commercial use only. You must not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, or transmit any of the material on our Site or Service, except as necessary to use the Services as intended.
2. Ownership of Customer Materials. You retain full ownership rights to your original artifacts and the resulting digitized content (“Your Content”).
3. License Grant to Scanthology. By submitting Your Content to us for the Services, you grant Scanthology and its authorized third-party service providers a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, modify (e.g., for restoration or AI enhancement), display, and perform Your Content solely for the purpose of providing the Services to you as described in these Terms and your Service Order. This license terminates when your digitized content is delivered and/or your storage subscription ends, except that Scanthology may retain archival copies as described in our Privacy Policy or as required by law.
4. Marketing Permissions. Scanthology may, from time to time, identify certain digitized images or content that would serve as excellent examples for our marketing or promotional materials. In such cases, we will contact you directly to request your explicit permission through a separate, simple licensing agreement. Granting such permission is entirely voluntary. If you grant permission, you may revoke it in writing, effective prospectively, according to the terms of that separate agreement. We will not use Your Content for marketing without your express written consent.
5. Handling and Retention of Physical Artifacts. We strive to return your original physical artifacts (photos, slides, tapes, etc.) as promptly as possible after scanning or photographing. For most customers, this will be within one month of receipt. Unless otherwise agreed in writing as part of a Service Order, we will retain physical items for no longer than four (4) weeks beyond the completion of digitization. You may instruct us to return them directly to your home or to a designated archive provider. Any deviation from this timeline must be documented in your Service Order. While we will make all efforts to arrange for a delivery of scanned items to you quickly, if an appropriate time is not identified, if necessary, Scanthology may use a commercial shipping and delivery provider to return original items to you if you are unable to coordinate with Scanthology for an appropriate in-person delivery at your residence.
6. Retention of Digital Artifacts. We will retain digital versions of your Materials for the duration of your active Service Order and for up to ten (10) years after the service period expires or is terminated, unless you request deletion sooner. We will honor reasonable requests to delete your digital files within a reasonable period of time. During the period we retain your digital content, we may use them internally to improve our services or develop personalized tools or products for you. We will not share, sell, or otherwise disclose your content to any third party without your explicit consent. Service Orders may further restrict the duration or scope of digital file retention. While Scanthology may retain your digital files beyond the scope of a Service Order, we are not obligated to do so. Scanthology may determine that file deletion is appropriate at any time after the expiration of a service order.
Pricing, Estimates, Quotations, and Payment.
1. Estimates vs. Final Costs: All initial quotes provided before physical inspection of Materials are “best estimates.” Prices may be adjusted once we physically receive and evaluate the items to be scanned, based on quantity, condition, complexity, or type of media. The final binding price and scope of work will be detailed in the accepted Service Order.
2. Adjustable Packages & Quotes: For larger or complex projects, we reserve the right to adjust the cost based on the actual work required. We will notify you of any necessary adjustments and obtain your approval before proceeding with work beyond the initial quote. Tiered packages may be upgraded within the initial term by paying the price difference, as specified in an updated Service Order.
3. Deposit and Payment Terms: Payment terms are within our sole discretion. For custom quotes, a deposit may be required upon acceptance of the quote, with the amount and timing specified in the quote. Full payment is required before return shipment of original Materials and delivery of final digital files, unless otherwise specified in your Service Order. You agree to pay all charges incurred at the posted prices, including applicable taxes and shipping fees. We use third-party payment processors; you represent and warrant your payment information is accurate and authorized.
4. Deposit and Scheduling Policy. To schedule an initial on-site consultation, Scanthology may require a non-refundable deposit, the amount and timing of which will be outlined in your initial Service Order. If requested, this deposit must be paid no later than two (2) business days prior to the scheduled visit. Failure to remit timely payment or if payment is returned for any reason may result in cancellation of the appointment. Any deposit paid will be credited toward the total due under the final approved Service Order. Deposits may be applied to a rescheduled visit if cancellation or reschedule request is received at least 24 hours prior to scheduled time. If a Scanthology employee arrives at the location of the on-site meeting that will constitute a completed site visit. If you cancel after the Scanthology employee arrives on site, the entire deposit amount may be forfeit.
Prohibited Content and Acceptable Use.
1. You agree to use the Services only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to submit any Materials that: (a) Contain illegal, exploitative, obscene, defamatory, threatening, harassing, abusive, hateful, or otherwise objectionable content, as determined in our sole discretion. (b) Violate any applicable federal, state, local, or international law or regulation. (c) Infringe upon the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, publicity rights, or other legal rights of any third party. (d) Contain viruses, malware, or other technologically harmful material.
2. Scanthology reserves the right, but has no obligation, to review submitted Materials. We reserve the absolute right, in our sole discretion, to refuse to process, to stop processing, or to delete any Materials we deem to be Prohibited Content or otherwise in violation of these Terms, without notice and without liability to you. We may also report any suspected illegal activity to appropriate law enforcement authorities and cooperate with them in any investigation. You acknowledge that due to the volume of materials processed, we cannot inspect every item, but reserve the right to act upon discovery of Prohibited Content.
Customer Authority and Responsibility. You represent and warrant that you have the full legal right and authority to submit the artifacts and materials (“Materials”) to Scanthology for the Services requested. You affirm that providing these Materials to us and our performance of the Services does not and will not infringe upon any third party’s copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights. You are solely responsible for ensuring you have obtained any necessary permissions or licenses related to the Materials before submitting them.

The primary account holder (the individual accepting these Terms and responsible for payment) is responsible for all decisions regarding the account and Services. The primary account holder may designate other individuals as authorized recipients for communications or deliverables, as specified in the applicable Service Order.
Indemnification. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Scanthology, its affiliates, licensors, and service providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors, and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising solely from: (i) your breach of these Terms, (ii) your submission of content that infringes or violates the rights of any third party, including intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights, or (iii) your use of the Services in a way that is unlawful or prohibited under these Terms. This indemnification obligation does not extend to claims or losses arising from Scanthology’s own acts or omissions.
Miscellaneous.
1. Governing Law. All matters relating to the Services and these Terms, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Michigan without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule.
2. Binding Arbitration. ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED IN ANY MANNER TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WHICH CANNOT BE AMICABLY RESOLVED SHALL BE SOLELY AND FINALLY SETTLED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (AAA) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS CONSUMER ARBITRATION RULES. JUDGMENT ON THE AWARD RENDERED BY THE ARBITRATOR(S) MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION THEREOF. THE ARBITRATION SHALL TAKE PLACE BEFORE A SINGLE ARBITRATOR SITTING IN ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN (OR AS CLOSE THERETO AS POSSIBLE). THE LANGUAGE OF THE ARBITRATION SHALL BE ENGLISH.

EACH PARTY SHALL BEAR ITS OWN COSTS RELATING TO THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS IRRESPECTIVE OF ITS OUTCOME, UNLESS THE ARBITRATOR DETERMINES THE CLAIM WAS FRIVOLOUS, IN WHICH CASE ATTORNEY’S FEES MAY BE AWARDED. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, ANY ACTION SEEKING INJUNCTIVE RELIEF MAY BE BROUGHT IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.
3. Class Action Waiver. YOU AND SCANTHOLOGY AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

FAILURE TO PROVIDE NOTICE WITHIN THIS PERIOD SHALL BE DEEMED A WAIVER OF SUCH CLAIM.
5. Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect. In addition, in such event the unenforceable or invalid provision shall be deemed to be modified to the extent necessary to (i) render it valid and enforceable and (ii) give the fullest effect possible to the original intent of the provision.
6. Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any specific terms included in your final accepted Service Order, constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and Scanthology regarding the Services and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the Services. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the specific terms of an accepted Service Order, the terms of the Service Order shall prevail for that specific order.
7. Waiver. No waiver by Scanthology of any term or condition set out in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Scanthology to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Scanthology to be effective.
8. Force Majeure. Scanthology will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under these Terms that is caused by events outside our reasonable control (a “Force Majeure Event”), including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, pandemics, epidemics, strikes, or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor, or materials.
9. Termination.
  1. By Company: Scanthology reserves the right to terminate your access to the Services or cancel your Service Order, in whole or in part, for any reason, including but not limited to breach of these Terms or non-payment, upon reasonable written notice. Scanthology may also terminate or suspend services immediately without notice if required by law or due to actions that compromise the security or integrity of our Services or other customers. Furthermore, Scanthology may terminate this agreement and any ongoing services for convenience upon providing you with reasonable advance written notice. Upon termination for convenience by Scanthology, we will return your physical Materials and provide any completed digitized work for which payment has been received, according to the return procedures outlined herein.
  2. By Customer: You may request termination of your Service Order or account by contacting us via the methods provided in Section 16. If you terminate after work has commenced on your Service Order or after a service period (e.g., for storage) has begun, any deposit or payment made for that order or period is non-refundable and considered forfeited, as compensation for resources allocated and work potentially performed. Upon receiving a termination request, we will cease further work (unless necessary to safely return Materials) and arrange for the return of your Materials as outlined in Section 2.
10. Refunds. Fees paid for Services rendered, including but not limited to digitization, restoration, handling, and storage, are generally non-refundable once work has commenced or after any initial cancellation window specified in the Service Order/Quote, except as explicitly stated otherwise in these Terms (e.g., Section 9.3 liability limit). No refunds, partial or full, will be issued for Services already performed or for service periods already commenced if you choose to terminate early. If Scanthology offers specific physical products (distinct from the digitized files or standard return media like USB drives) and such a product is demonstrably defective upon receipt, refund or replacement options for that specific product may be available as determined by Scanthology in its reasonable discretion.
Eligibility. THE SERVICES ARE OFFERED AND AVAILABLE TO USERS WHO ARE 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER AND RESIDE IN THE UNITED STATES. BY USING THESE SERVICES, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU ARE OF LEGAL AGE TO FORM A BINDING CONTRACT WITH SCANTHOLOGY AND MEET ALL OF THE FOREGOING ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS. IF YOU DO NOT MEET ALL OF THESE REQUIREMENTS, YOU MUST NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES. YOU ALSO CERTIFY THAT ANY INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE DURING REGISTRATION OR ORDERING WILL BE TRUTHFUL AND ACCURATE.
Acknowledgment of Terms at Multiple Stages. To ensure clarity and mutual understanding, Scanthology presents these Terms of Service at multiple stages during the client engagement process. These may include:

At all times the Terms of Service will be available on the Scanthology website.
When a prospective customer schedules a free consultation.
When a customer schedules a paid on-site (home) visit and submits a deposit.
When the customer approves a final Service Order, prior to or during pickup of physical Materials.

You may be asked to affirmatively agree to these Terms by checking a box online or by signing a paper or digital form during an in-home visit. Acceptance at any of these points shall constitute binding agreement to these Terms, which apply throughout the entire duration of the Service engagement.
