Terms of Service

Last updated: [EFFECTIVE DATE]

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Lockimate mobile application and related services (together, the "Service"), operated by [COMPANY LEGAL NAME] ("Lockimate," "we," "us," or "our"). By downloading, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, if higher) to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Service only with the involvement of a parent or guardian. By using the Service you represent that you meet these requirements.

2. The Service

Lockimate transforms photos you provide into short animated "Live Photo" lock-screen wallpapers using artificial intelligence. You choose a photo and a set of creative options; we generate an animated result you can save to your device and set as your wallpaper. Features, limits, and pricing may change over time.

3. Your Content and the Rights You Must Have

"Your Content" means the photos and any inputs you submit to the Service. You retain ownership of Your Content. You are solely responsible for it, and by submitting it you represent and warrant that:

• You own Your Content or have all rights, licenses, and permissions necessary to use it and to have it processed by the Service;
• Your Content does not depict any identifiable real person without that person's consent (and, for minors, the consent of a parent or guardian);
• Your Content does not infringe any copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other right of any third party; and
• Your Content and your use of the Service comply with all applicable laws.

You grant us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, transmit, process, and modify Your Content solely to operate, provide, secure, and improve the Service — including transmitting it to our AI processing provider to generate your wallpaper. This license ends when Your Content is deleted from our systems, except for residual copies retained for a limited period in routine backups or as required by law. We do not sell Your Content, and we do not use your photos to train AI models.

4. AI-Generated Output

Generated wallpapers are produced by automated AI systems, including a third-party AI provider (fal.ai). AI output is probabilistic: it may be inaccurate, unexpected, or fail to match your input, and similar inputs may produce similar outputs for other users. We make no guarantee regarding the quality, accuracy, or fitness of any generated result. To the extent we hold any rights in the output, we assign them to you, subject to your compliance with these Terms; you are responsible for how you use generated output.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to create, upload, or distribute content that:

• depicts a real person without their consent, including any non-consensual, sexual, intimate, or deceptive ("deepfake") imagery;
• is sexually explicit, depicts minors inappropriately, or is otherwise unlawful;
• is harassing, hateful, defamatory, or promotes violence or self-harm;
• infringes intellectual property or violates anyone's privacy or publicity rights; or
• impersonates another person or misrepresents your affiliation.

You also agree not to reverse engineer, scrape, overload, circumvent usage limits or security of, or build a competing service from, the Service. We may remove content and suspend or terminate access for any violation.

6. Purchases and Subscriptions

The Service may offer one-time purchases and auto-renewing subscriptions sold through the Apple App Store. Prices are shown in the app before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel them in your Apple account settings. Except where required by law, purchases are non-refundable; refunds, if any, are handled by Apple under their terms. We use [REVENUECAT / PAYMENT PROCESSOR] to manage entitlements and do not receive your full payment card details.

7. Intellectual Property

The Service itself — including its software, design, branding, and content we provide — is owned by us or our licensors and protected by law. We grant you a personal, limited, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your own non-commercial use, subject to these Terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

8. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third parties, including our AI processing provider, cloud hosting, and the Apple App Store. Your use of those services may be subject to their own terms, and we are not responsible for them.

9. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE AND ALL OUTPUT ARE 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 SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL LOCKIMATE OR ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) USD 50. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Lockimate from any claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from Your Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or any law or third-party right.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or to protect the Service or other users. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, and indemnification) will survive.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will take reasonable steps to notify you, such as within the app. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of [GOVERNING LAW / JURISDICTION], without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The courts located in [VENUE] will have jurisdiction over any disputes, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
