Terms of Service

By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App and uninstall it.

Because the App has no user accounts and no sign-in, there is nothing to click to accept: your installation and use of the App is your acceptance. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, form the entire agreement between us regarding the App.

In these Terms, “we”, “us”, and “our” mean Tiny Face; “you” means the person using the App.

• You must be at least 13 years old, or older if your country sets a higher minimum age for digital consent (up to 16 in parts of the EU).
• If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the App only with the consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for your use of the App and for any purchases you make.
• You must have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement, and you must not be barred from using the App under the laws of your country.

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use one copy of the App on devices you own or control, for your own purposes, in accordance with these Terms and with the Google Play Terms of Service.

The App is licensed to you, not sold. All rights we do not expressly grant are reserved. In particular, you may not:

• copy, sell, rent, sublicense, or redistribute the App or any paid content in it;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law (for example, where law grants you interoperability rights);
• modify, patch, or create derivative works of the App, or circumvent its licence checks, purchase verification, or usage limits;
• remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices;
• use the App to build a competing product, or extract its assets for use elsewhere.

You own what you create. The photos, videos, audio recordings, and files you produce with the App are yours. We claim no ownership of them and no licence to use them.

This is not just a promise — it is how the App is built. Your content is stored on your device and is never uploaded to us, so we have no copy and no technical ability to access, view, use, or publish it. See the Privacy Policy for the detail.

You are solely responsible for the content you create, for having the rights needed to create it, and for how you use or share it afterwards.

You agree not to use the App:

• to create, store, or distribute content that is unlawful, including child sexual abuse material, non-consensual intimate images, content that infringes someone else’s intellectual property, or material that incites violence;
• to record, photograph, or film people without the consent that the law where you are requires — see Section 6;
• to harass, stalk, threaten, defame, or invade the privacy of another person;
• to violate any applicable law or regulation, including export control, surveillance, and data protection law;
• to interfere with the App’s operation, probe or attack the services it relies on, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to them;
• to obtain paid features without paying, including through modified builds, patched binaries, fraudulent purchase tokens, refund abuse, or unauthorised third-party stores.

Because the App works offline and on your device, we do not monitor what you create and we generally cannot detect a breach of this section. That does not make it permitted — you remain responsible for your use, and we may terminate your licence under Section 19 if we learn of a violation.

The App can capture photos, video, and audio. Laws about recording other people vary widely between countries and even between states or provinces, and breaking them can be a criminal offence.

• Consent to record. Some places require the consent of every person recorded (“all-party consent”); others require only yours. Some allow recording in public but not in private spaces. You are responsible for knowing and following the rules that apply to you.
• Audio is often stricter than video. Recording a conversation you are not part of is illegal in many jurisdictions, regardless of the device used.
• Places with special rules. Workplaces, schools, hospitals, courts, government buildings, aircraft, and private venues may prohibit recording entirely.
• Publishing is a separate question. Even a lawful recording may not be lawful to publish or share, because of image rights, privacy, and data protection law.

We provide a tool; we do not advise you on whether your use of it is lawful, and nothing in the App or its documentation is legal advice. You accept full responsibility for how you use the camera and microphone features, and you agree to indemnify us for claims arising from your recordings under Section 18.

The App may offer one-time purchases that permanently unlock a feature or content. All purchases are processed by Google Play Billing; we never receive or store your payment details.

• Prices are shown in the App before you confirm, in your local currency where Google Play supports it, and include or exclude tax as indicated by Google Play at checkout.
• A one-time purchase is tied to the Google account you bought it with, not to an account with us, because the App has none. It does not renew and is not charged again.
• To restore a purchase after reinstalling or on a new device, sign in to Google Play with the same Google account and use the restore option in the App. We cannot restore a purchase made with a different Google account, and we cannot transfer purchases between accounts — that is a limit of Google Play, not a choice of ours.
• Purchased features are licensed for as long as we distribute the App and the feature remains technically viable. See Section 11 for what happens if a feature is discontinued.
• A one-time purchase gives you no right to future features, major new versions, or a separate app we may publish later, unless we say so at the point of sale.

The App may offer subscriptions that give you access to premium features for a recurring fee, billed through Google Play.

8.1 Automatic renewal

• Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period, and your Google Play account is charged, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends.
• The price, billing period, and renewal terms are shown before you confirm the purchase.

8.2 Cancelling

• Cancel at any time in Google Play → Subscriptions (Play Store → Profile → Payments and subscriptions → Subscriptions).
• Cancellation stops future charges. You keep premium access until the end of the period you already paid for; we do not pro-rate a partial period.
• Uninstalling the App does not cancel your subscription and does not stop billing. Neither does clearing the App’s data. You must cancel in Google Play.

8.3 Free trials and introductory offers

• Where we offer a free trial or introductory price, it converts to a paid subscription at the standard rate automatically unless you cancel before it ends.
• Eligibility is determined by Google Play, typically once per Google account per product. Only one trial or introductory offer may be used at a time.
• Starting a subscription while a trial is running may end the trial immediately.

8.4 Price changes

We may change subscription prices. A change applies to your renewals only after Google Play has notified you in advance and, where required by law or by Google Play policy, obtained your consent. If you do not accept a new price, cancel before the next renewal.

8.5 When a subscription ends

Premium features stop working, but your files stay on your device. Because your content is stored locally and we hold no copy, ending a subscription never deletes anything you created, and we have no ability to lock your own files away from you.

• Purchases and subscriptions are sold through Google Play, so refunds are handled by Google under the Google Play refund policy. Request a refund through the Play Store.
• You can also write to us at smartface102@gmail.com. We will help where we can, but Google — not us — controls whether a refund is issued.
• Consumers in the EU, UK, and similar jurisdictions have a statutory right of withdrawal for digital purchases, subject to the exceptions in law. Nothing in these Terms limits that right or any other mandatory consumer protection you have under the law of your country of residence, including rights relating to defective digital content.
• Except where law requires otherwise, we do not provide refunds for partially used subscription periods, for a change of mind after substantial use, or because you forgot to cancel a renewal.

• Google Play. The App is distributed through Google Play, and your use of it is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. Google is not a party to these Terms, has no obligation to provide support for the App, and is not responsible for the App or its content — though Google may enforce these Terms as a third-party beneficiary.
• Firebase. The App uses Google’s Firebase services for crash reporting, analytics, configuration, and notifications, as described in the Privacy Policy.
• Other apps and services. If you export, share, or back up your content to another app or service, that provider’s terms and privacy policy govern what happens to it. We are not responsible for third-party services, including any cloud or gallery backup app that picks up files the App saved to your device’s shared storage.
• Your device and network. You are responsible for your device, your operating system version, and any mobile data charges you incur.

• We may release updates that add, change, or remove features, and we may require an update for the App to keep working — for example when a Google or Android platform change forces one.
• We may discontinue the App or a feature. If we discontinue a feature you bought with a one-time purchase, we will give reasonable advance notice in the App and, where the loss is material and recent, offer a refund or a comparable replacement. Where law entitles you to a remedy, that remedy applies regardless of this paragraph.
• We do not guarantee compatibility with every device, Android version, or manufacturer customisation, or that the App will remain available in your country.
• Old versions of the App may stop working when the services they rely on change. We support the current version.

The App itself — its code, design, user interface, icons, illustrations, sounds, text, and the Tiny Face name and logo — is owned by Tiny Face or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Your licence under Section 3 gives you the right to use the App, and nothing more.

Any content or templates we bundle with the App may be used within the App for your own projects, but may not be extracted, redistributed, or resold on their own.

If you send us feedback, bug reports, or suggestions, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use them to improve our products, without obligation to compensate you or keep them confidential. We will not identify you publicly as the source without your permission. Please do not send us anything you consider confidential or that you are not free to share — and do not attach recordings containing other people’s personal data unless you have their consent.

Our handling of data is described in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms. In summary: there is no account, your content stays on your device, and we receive only anonymous crash and usage diagnostics.

You are responsible for the personal data of other people that may appear in your recordings. Where data protection law applies to you as a controller of that data, you carry those obligations — we cannot, since we never receive the content.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, 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, accuracy, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of defects; that it will work on your particular device or with your particular files; that captures will always succeed or be of a given quality; or that defects will be corrected.

Some jurisdictions do not allow these exclusions. If you are a consumer in the EU, UK, Australia, or another place with mandatory statutory guarantees, this section limits your rights only as far as the law permits, and your statutory rights — including remedies for digital content that is not as described or not of satisfactory quality — remain fully intact.

This deserves its own section, because the App’s local-only design cuts both ways.

• We have no copy of your content. That protects your privacy, and it also means that if your files are lost, we cannot restore them — not for any price, not for any reason.
• Content can be lost by deleting it, clearing the App’s storage, losing or damaging your device, a failed capture, running out of storage space, an Android or device-manufacturer change, or a bug in the App.
• Keep your own backups. Copy anything important to another location — a computer, an external drive, or a backup service you trust and control.
• To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for lost or corrupted content. Where liability for a defect cannot be excluded under the law that applies to you, our liability is limited as set out in Section 17.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tiny Face and its officers, employees, and contractors will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, content, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or relating to your use of the App — even if we were told such damages were possible.

Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the App is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for the App in the 12 months before the claim, or USD 50.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. If you are a consumer, these limits apply only to the extent your national law allows, and your mandatory statutory remedies are unaffected.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Tiny Face from claims, damages, liabilities, and reasonable legal costs brought by a third party and arising from:

• content you captured, stored, published, or shared using the App, including recordings of other people;
• your breach of these Terms, of Section 5, or of the recording and privacy laws described in Section 6;
• your infringement of anyone’s rights.

This obligation does not apply to the extent the claim results from our own breach or negligence, and it applies only to the extent permitted by the consumer law that protects you.

• You may end this agreement at any time by uninstalling the App. Remember to cancel any active subscription in Google Play first — uninstalling does not cancel it.
• We may suspend or terminate your licence if you materially breach these Terms, if you use the App unlawfully, or if we are required to by law. Where the circumstances allow, we will give notice first and a chance to put things right.
• On termination, your licence ends and you must stop using the App. Your files remain on your device and stay yours; nothing we do deletes them.
• Sections that by their nature should survive — including 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 20 — continue to apply after termination.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Vietnam, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Disputes will be heard by the competent courts of Vietnam.

If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory law of your country of residence, and you may also bring proceedings in the courts of your own country where your law gives you that right.

Before starting formal proceedings, please contact us at smartface102@gmail.com — most issues are resolved faster that way.

We may update these Terms as the App evolves. We will update the “Last updated” date above and, for material changes — such as new fees, a change to the licence, or a change to dispute resolution — give notice in the App before the change takes effect.

Changes are not retroactive. Continuing to use the App after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms; if you do not accept them, stop using the App and uninstall it. Previous versions are available on request.

• Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us about the App and replace any earlier understanding.
• Severability. If a provision is held unenforceable, it is limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest stays in force.
• No waiver. If we do not enforce a provision, that is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, provided your rights are not reduced.
• Force majeure. Neither party is liable for a failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
• Language. These Terms are written in English. A translation is provided for convenience only; if there is a conflict, the English version prevails, except where your local law provides otherwise.
• No agency. These Terms do not create a partnership, employment, or agency relationship between us.
