Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms of Use (the "Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Yevhenii Nimenko, an independent developer (the "Operator", "we", "us"), governing your use of the Bedtime Lens: Photo Stories iOS application (the "App"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy and, if you subscribe, our Subscription Terms, both of which are incorporated into these Terms.

2. The Service

Bedtime Lens creates short, child-friendly bedtime stories from photos you select. The App uses artificial intelligence to (a) identify the main subject of each photo, which you then confirm or correct, and (b) generate a bedtime story from the confirmed items in the storytelling mode you choose. Some features are free; others require a paid subscription (see Section 6).

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live) to use the App and to purchase a subscription. The App is designed to be operated by parents and guardians; children are the audience of the resulting stories, not users of the App. Children must not use the App unsupervised and must not make purchases.

4. License to Use the App

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, for personal, non-commercial purposes, in accordance with these Terms and Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions (including the Usage Rules there). We reserve all rights not expressly granted.

You may not:

• copy, modify, distribute, sell, rent, or sublicense the App or any part of it;
• reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the App or our backend, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by law;
• bypass, probe, or overload our technical protections (including rate limits and free-tier quotas), or access our backend other than through the App;
• use the App to violate any law or the rights of any person.

5. Your Content

5.1 Photos and inputs

You retain all rights to the photos you select and the text you enter. You grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free license to process that content solely to provide the service: transmitting photos for AI identification, storing the resulting text metadata, and generating your stories. As described in the Privacy Policy, your photos are not stored on our servers and are not used to train AI models.

You are responsible for the content you submit. You represent that you own or have the right to use the photos you select, and you agree not to submit content that is unlawful, infringing, or harmful. Only submit photos of people with their (or their parent's/guardian's) permission.

5.2 Generated stories

Subject to these Terms, you may use the stories generated for you freely for personal, non-commercial purposes — read them, save them, share them with family. To the extent we hold any rights in the generated story text, we assign or license them to you for such use.

5.3 About AI-generated content

Stories are generated by artificial intelligence. Although the App applies content rules and automated moderation designed to keep stories calm, positive, and appropriate for young children, AI output is probabilistic and we cannot guarantee that every story will be accurate, appropriate, or free of oddities. Please review each story before reading it to a child. AI photo identification may also be wrong — that is why the App asks you to confirm every result.

6. Free Tier and Subscriptions

The App offers one free story. Continued use — unlimited story generation, regeneration, the story library, and export — requires an auto-renewable subscription purchased through Apple's App Store. Subscription plans, pricing, free-trial terms, billing, renewal, and cancellation are described in the Subscription Terms. All payments are processed by Apple; refund requests are handled by Apple under its policies.

7. Intellectual Property

The App — including its software, design, interface, artwork, text, and branding — is owned by the Operator or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms do not transfer any ownership rights to you. Third-party fonts and components included in the App remain the property of their respective owners and are used under license.

8. Third-Party Services

The App depends on third-party services, including Apple (distribution and payments), OpenAI (AI processing), Supabase (hosting), and RevenueCat (subscription management). We are not responsible for the availability or performance of third-party services, and your use of them may be subject to their own terms.

9. Availability and Changes to the Service

We do not guarantee that the App will be available at all times or error-free. AI providers, hosting, and the App Store are outside of our full control, and we may need to suspend the service for maintenance. We may modify, add, or remove features, and may discontinue the App, with reasonable notice where legally required. If we permanently discontinue paid features you have paid for, applicable law and Apple's refund policies govern any remedy.

10. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time; deleting the App does not by itself cancel an active subscription (see the Subscription Terms). We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms, abuse the service (including attempts to circumvent quotas or rate limits), or where we must do so for legal or security reasons. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 7, 11, 12, and 13) survive.

11. Disclaimers

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT AI-GENERATED CONTENT WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS ANY NON-WAIVABLE STATUTORY RIGHTS YOU HAVE AS A CONSUMER.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE OPERATOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF DATA, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE APP. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE OPERATOR'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM. THESE LIMITATIONS DO NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW (SUCH AS LIABILITY FOR INTENT, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, OR PERSONAL INJURY WHERE SUCH LIMITS ARE NOT PERMITTED).

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold the Operator harmless from claims, damages, and reasonable expenses (including legal fees) arising from your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the App, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

14. Apple App Store Terms

These additional terms apply because you obtained the App from Apple's App Store:

• These Terms are between you and the Operator only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
• The license granted to you is limited to use of the App on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions.
• Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support for the App.
• If the App fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the App to you (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.
• Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the App, including product-liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and claims under consumer-protection or similar legislation.
• In the event of a third-party claim that the App infringes intellectual-property rights, the Operator — not Apple — is responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of such claim to the extent required by these Terms.
• You represent and warrant that (a) you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and (b) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

15. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Ukraine, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, and the courts of Ukraine shall have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them. If you are a consumer residing in the EU/EEA, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with mandatory consumer-protection rules, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection afforded by the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in your local courts where the law so provides. EU consumers may also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date reflects the latest revision. Material changes will be announced in the App or on our website with reasonable advance notice. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the App and cancel any active subscription.

17. Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a transfer of the App, subject to your rights under applicable law. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Subscription Terms, are the entire agreement between you and the Operator regarding the App.
