Memories
Memories is our data storage service that makes it easier for you to relive the past anytime, anywhere.
By accepting these Terms, you automatically enable Memories.
Once the Memories feature is activated, it will remain so for as long as your Snapchat account is active.
However, you can disable some Memories features through the settings.
One of the options we provide with Ricordi is the ability to create a restricted area by setting a passcode, which can be a PIN or passphrase or other mechanism.
This feature is similar to the device lock option you probably use on your mobile device; setting a passcode will make it less likely that if another person gets hold of your device, they will be able to see what you have saved within the restricted area of ​​Memories.
But beware: if you lose or forget your Memories passcode, or if you enter the wrong one too many times, you will lose access to all the contents saved in the Memories reserved area.
In fact, no passcode recovery method is offered for this restricted area.
Remembering the passcode is your sole responsibility.
Go to our Support Site for more information on this.
Your content in Memories may become unavailable for various reasons, for example due to a technical-operational problem or our decision to terminate your account.
Since we cannot guarantee the perennial availability of your content, we recommend that you keep a separate copy of the content you save on Ricordi.
We cannot guarantee that Ricordi will be able to fully satisfy your storage needs.
We reserve the right to set storage limits in Memories, limits that we may change from time to time in our sole discretion.
And as with our other Services, your use of Memories may take up space on your device and may be subject to charges related to the transmission of mobile data.
None of Ricordi's features are resellable.
This means that you cannot, for example, use Memories as your personal file storage or as a distribution service for other people.
