Information About Us
We are an international start-up with employees from over 15 nations and headquarters in Vienna, Austria.

We look forward to welcoming you as our customer.

6.1.9 For delivery to any country, excluding delivery to or within the US: Information regarding the right of withdrawal according to KSchG and FAGG
In the case of contracts subject to the FAGG, there is no right of withdrawal if the company (Journi) has started to perform the service before the end of the withdrawal period pursuant to Ā§ 11 FAGG and the service has then been fully performed (Ā§ 18 (1) item 1 FAGG).
In this context, the customer expressly declares to demand from Journi that the fulfilment of the contract be started before the expiry of the withdrawal period of Ā§ 11 FAGG. This applies to all print products of Journi. With the premature fulfilment of the contract by Journi, the customer loses his right of withdrawal.
The customer agrees that in the event of complete fulfilment of the contract by Journi for print products, he/she loses his right of withdrawal according to Ā§ 18 FAGG.
In the case of contracts subject to FAGG, there is no right of withdrawal if goods are manufactured according to customer specifications or are clearly tailored to personal needs. This applies to all print products offered by Journi.
In compliance with the duty to inform according to Ā§ 4 (1) Z 11 FAGG, Journi hereby informs the customer that all print products offered by Journi are exclusively produced according to customer specifications and tailored to personal needs.
The customer therefore has no right of withdrawal under the FAGG
In the case of contracts subject to the KSchG, there is no right of withdrawal (Ā§ 3 (3) KSchG) if
- the customer initiated the transaction himself,
- the transaction has been concluded without meetings between the parties or their representatives; or
- if it is a legal transaction usually concluded outside the business premises of the company and the fee to be paid does not exceed EUR 25.00, or if the enterprise is not operated in permanent business premises by its nature and the fee does not exceed EUR 50.00.
If one of the above cases applies, the right of withdrawal according to the KSchG is not applicable for the customer.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, Journi provides its customers with a sample withdrawal form below.
Template Withdrawal Form |
To Journi GmbH I/we (*) hereby revoke the contract concluded by me/us (*) for the purchase of the following goods (*)/ for the provision of the following services (*) Name of the consumer(s) Address of the consumer(s) Signature of the consumer(s) (only in case of communication on paper) Date |
6.2 Promotional Codes
Journi can offer the customer free promotional codes that can be used to purchase print products at a reduced fee.
Promotional codes are not vouchers or gift cards that can be purchased by the customer and later exchanged for products (not recognized as containing value according to Austrian jurisdiction). They are free promotional (promo) codes that grant discounts on the purchase of printed products.
These discounts can take different forms. According to the configuration by Journi, the advertising codes can be distinguished as follows:
Type | Applicability | Period of Validity |
Percentage discount (in %) | Per user one or more times | Time limited |
Value discount (specific amount) | For certain customers only | Time unlimited |
Only for one or more selected print products |
Promotional codes can only be used for those orders that were placed no later than the last day of code validity (12:00am). The advertising code must be entered and validated by the customer at the latest before clicking on the button "Buy Now Payment Options" in the Journi apps and āGo To Checkoutā on the Journi website. The application of promo codes to purchases already made is not possible. Several promotional codes cannot be combined but can only be redeemed individually. Combining a promotional code with earned referral credits is possible under the conditions of point 8.
Journi may, at its sole discretion, determine the customer's eligibility for a promotional code and suspend or discontinue codes at any time. Codes cannot be refunded, exchanged, redeemed for cash or used for purchases other than those provided for in the offer.

7.3 Fair Use Policy
Our fair use policy is designed to help ensure that our customers receive the best service at the best and fairest price while reducing any inconvenience caused by unfair use of storage and upload management.
In order to ensure that all customers, according to their subscription, have access to the data storage provided by Journi, Journi has established a fair use policy that limits the amount of data that a customer can store and upload within defined periods of time.
In principle, Journi apps users/customers have unlimited memory available for the use of the apps. However, since the storage volumes that are available in total may be limited in time, we try to provide each user/customer with the same amount of resources. For technical reasons, however, this is not always possible, so all users/customers must use these resources in accordance with the following terms:
A violation of the fair use policy includes the improper or excessive use of the services offered by Journi, whereby
- "improper use" refers to any use of the Services that is illegal, infringes any rights (including intellectual property rights), is malicious, obscene or offensive, or otherwise harms or prejudices Journi and its users/customers; and
- "excessive use" in relation to unlimited storage or uploads refers to the use of the Journi services that goes well beyond the normal usage behaviour of the customers; this does not exceed 10 (ten gigabytes) GB of uploaded data or 5000 (five thousand) images per month and the exceeding of an update volume of 1 (one gigabyte) GB per day.
If Journi learns of a use of resources that exceeds this level, Journi may take action if we discover that a customer is in any way, intentionally or unintentionally, in breach of the Fair Use Policy. It is at Journi's discretion to take action at any time by either
- the customer is offered an upgrade in memory for an additional fee,
- the resources of the user/customer concerned are limited,
- further uploads are stopped and the storage of data of this customer is stopped or
- the membership type (Basic or Plus) or the customer's account is terminated without prior notice
Journi reserves the right to block or delete the Journi account in case of continued and persistent disregard of the Fair Use Policy.
8. Referral Program
8.1 Definition
Journiās referral program allows only registered users/customers to earn credits that can be used for the purchase of personalized print products ("referral credits").
8.2 Referral Credit and New Customer Bonus
Users/customers receive referral credits if
- a referred third party ("friend") clicks on a referral link to create a valid Journi account, which is subject to these General Terms and Conditions; and
- the referred friend successfully completes his first order of print products.
Referred friends who have registered using a valid referral link will also receive credit in the form of a voucher code ("New Customer Bonus"), which is found on the invitation to the referral or in the accompanying promotional materials. The new customer bonus can be used with the next order of print products. For this purpose, the voucher code indicated with the recommendation link must be entered in the "Do you have a voucher?" field in the shopping bag of the Journi apps when ordering. On the website, a voucher code can be entered in the voucher field and is applied by hitting the āRedeemā button. The new customer bonus will then be deducted from the total order amount.
A referred friend can only use one referral link. If a referred friend has received referral links from multiple users/customers, only the user/customer whose link was used by the referred friend will receive referral credits.
8.3 Redeeming Referral Credits
Referral credits can only be redeemed within the Journi ecosystem and only for print products. Earned referral credit will automatically appear as credit in your Journi account and will also be automatically used for your next purchase.
Referral credits can also be used in conjunction with vouchers and other offers, unless expressly stated otherwise.
Referral credits are valid for a maximum of 1 (one) year and expire thereafter. Since the recommendation credit is a voucher that was issued for advertising purposes and therefore has no actual monetary value or represents any real monetary value, it can neither be transferred nor exchanged for cash. If the recommendation credit is used up by means of a successful order of print products, the user/customer can start collecting credit again. See in detail the conditions of the recommendation program in section 8.4.
Referral credits are displayed in the currency of the Journi account and can only be redeemed in this currency. Regarding the prices for print products, please see point 6.1.2.
8.4 Conditions of the Referral Program
The new customer bonus is a maximum of EUR 5 (five euros) per new customer. The current amount of the new customer bonus depends on the userās country and the campaign budget, which is set by Journi for a certain period of time and can be changed at any time. The amount of the new customer bonus and the period of time are listed on the recommendation page of the Journi Apps and the website. The new customer bonus can only be redeemed by entering the appropriate code in the voucher field in the shopping bag, within the specified period. The new customer bonus cannot exceed the communicated value.
The order of a print product or value coupon may not have a negative invoice amount of less than EUR 0 (zero euro). This means that the aggregated value of ordered products, delivery costs (if applicable), minus the referral credit and any promotional codes may not be negative. If a negative value would result, the recommendation credit is redeemed proportionally up to the value 0. A payout of referral credits in cash or to the chosen payment method of the customer is expressly excluded.
Referrals may only be used for personal and non-commercial purposes. Referral links may not be published or distributed if there is no reasonable basis to assume that all or most recipients are personally known to the user (such as voucher websites, Reddit or Wikipedia).
Referral credits may not be earned by setting up several Journi accounts, and referral credits accumulated in separate Journi accounts may not be combined into one account. If for any reason you believe that there is a discrepancy or misuse of your referral credit, please contact us by email at support@journiapp.com. Journi may require you to provide additional information to determine your balance. All decisions regarding your referral credit are final and in Journi's sole discretion.
If referral credits or new customer bonuses are obtained abusively or fraudulently or if these General Terms and Conditions and Terms of Use are violated, Journi reserves the right to cancel any referral credits or new customer bonuses and, if necessary, to block or delete the Journi account.
Journi has the right to suspend or terminate the referral program at any time without giving reasons. In this case, unused referral credits and unused new customer bonuses will be forfeited after a reasonable redemption period of maximum 30 (thirty) days.
By participating in the referral program and accepting these General Terms and Conditions, you acknowledge that the scope, variety and type of print products you receive by redeeming referral credits may change at any time.
