Terms of Service
Lasso
Last updated: April 11, 2025
1. Overview
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of Lasso (“we,” “us,” “our”), a post-event photo platform operated at lasso.pics. By creating an account or accessing any part of the platform, you agree to these Terms.
Lasso serves two types of users:
- Organizers — individuals or businesses who create accounts to publish and share event photo albums
- Attendees — individuals who access photo albums via a shared link
Different sections of these Terms apply to each user type where noted.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use Lasso. By using the platform you represent that you meet this requirement. If you are under 18, you represent that you have permission from a parent or legal guardian.
3. Organizer Accounts
3.1 Account creation
Organizers create accounts with a valid email address and password. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
3.2 Accurate information
You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating your account and to keep it updated.
3.3 One account per person
Each organizer account is for a single individual or business entity. You may not share your account or transfer it to another party without our written consent.
3.4 Account termination
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate organizer accounts that violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or remain inactive for an extended period, with or without notice.
4. Organizer Responsibilities
4.1 Content ownership
By uploading photos to Lasso, you represent and warrant that:
- You own the photos or have the rights to upload and distribute them
- The photos do not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights
- You have obtained any necessary consents from individuals who appear in the photos, consistent with applicable laws
4.2 Prohibited content
You may not upload photos that contain:
- Nudity or sexually explicit content
- Content that depicts or facilitates illegal activity
- Content that harasses, threatens, or demeans any individual
- Content involving minors in any inappropriate context
4.3 Attendee data responsibility
When you use Lasso to distribute photos to event attendees, you acknowledge that attendees will provide personal data including phone numbers and facial recognition data to access their photos. You represent that your use of Lasso is consistent with any privacy notices or consents you have provided to your attendees.
4.4 Ticket link
If you provide a ticket link URL for your event, you represent that you have the right to link to that destination and that it does not contain harmful or illegal content.
5. Attendee Access
5.1 Album access
Attendees access Lasso exclusively via a shared album link provided by an event organizer. Lasso does not provide a direct public sign-up path for attendees.
5.2 Phone verification
To access an album, attendees must verify their identity via a one-time SMS code sent to their phone number. By submitting your phone number you consent to receive this single verification message.
5.3 Biometric consent
To match you with your photos, Lasso processes a selfie you submit using facial recognition technology. By submitting your selfie you explicitly consent to this processing. You may withdraw consent and request deletion of your biometric data at any time by contacting hello@lasso.pics.
5.4 Photo use
Photos you download from Lasso are for your personal use. You may share them on social media provided you do not misrepresent their origin or use them in a commercial context without the event organizer's permission.
6. Subscriptions and Billing (Organizers)
6.1 Plans
Lasso offers free and paid subscription plans. Current plan details and pricing are available at lasso.pics/pricing. We reserve the right to change pricing with reasonable notice.
6.2 Billing
Paid subscriptions are billed monthly or annually depending on the plan selected. Billing is processed by Stripe. By subscribing you authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel.
6.3 Cancellation
You may cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. We do not provide refunds for unused portions of a billing period.
6.4 Free plan limits
Free plan accounts are subject to album and photo limits as described at lasso.pics/pricing. We reserve the right to modify free plan limits with reasonable notice.
7. Intellectual Property
7.1 Your content
You retain ownership of photos and other content you upload to Lasso. By uploading content you grant Lasso a limited, non-exclusive license to store, process, and display your content solely for the purpose of operating the platform and delivering the service to you and your attendees.
7.2 Lasso platform
The Lasso platform, including its design, software, trademarks, and the Afterglow Score methodology, is owned by Lasso and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or reverse engineer any part of the platform.

9. Album Lifecycle and Data
Albums published on Lasso are automatically archived 14 days after publication. Archived albums remain accessible to the organizer in their dashboard but are no longer publicly accessible via the album link. Organizers on paid plans may access archived album analytics indefinitely.
10. Disclaimers
Lasso is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses.

13. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved in the courts of New York.
