Photomax's photo storage policy is designed to let you enjoy your personal photos and share them with others for years to come. All photos, whether uploaded digitally or from our Photo SaverSM service, will be kept in your account until you remove them.

Your precious memories, captured in photographs, are among your most valuable possessions. Unfortunately, those physical memories are in danger of being lost forever as printed photographs fade and deteriorate, not to mention the real dangers of fire, flood, loss, sun-damage, theft, careless scrap-bookers, young “artists”, and puppies.

Unlike other websites that delete your personal photos every few months if you fail to purchase anything with them, I plan to safeguard your memories forever. My buddy Spike, the guard dog, even puts a copy of each photo in a special granite vault for safekeeping!

 
 
 

 

Located deep within the rugged Wasatch Mountains, the
Photomax Vault is best described as "solid as granite"
and is protected by its unique location from floods,
earthquakes, fires, and man-made disasters.

Some interesting facts about the Photomax Vault:

 
 
  By virtue of the vault's location within the granite mountain, temperature and humidity remain
constant and meet or exceed all federal requirements for archival storage.
     
  The vault's unique fire retardant construction is supported by both ionization detectors and the latest fire suppression extinguishers.
     
  The vault has four sources of electric power in case of disaster.
     
  One year was spent blasting the vault out of the side of the mountain. Its 200 feet of solid granite overburden will withstand any force known to man.
     
  Along with the natural security of the mountain, the most modern and efficient security systems are used, including armed guards, closed-circuit TV monitoring systems, and an electronic alarm systems monitored by professional security companies.
     
  The entrance to the vault is protected by three separate security gates, closed circuit television, and a 12,000 pound door capable of withstanding a nuclear blast.
     
  The granite has the characteristics of a solid piece of rock and would suffer little or no internal deformation or damage to the vault interior during an earthquake.
