1. Your agreement with us
These Terms govern your use of MemorySprout, provided by the individual developer ManLin Zhao, whose correspondence address is [TO BE COMPLETED: correspondence address] ("we", "us", or "our"). By using MemorySprout or accepting these Terms, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information. Accepting these Terms does not replace any separate consent that applicable law may require for specific processing.
2. What MemorySprout provides
MemorySprout lets you select photos, run cloud AI analysis to create Memories (including a short Story and related generated artwork such as postcard-style images), edit results, save them, and share them.
Core generation may be available without purchase while commercialization features are off. We may offer optional Premium subscriptions through the App Store (for example monthly or annual plans) when enabled. Prices, duration, and renewal terms are shown in the App Store / purchase sheet at the time of purchase. Billing, cancellation, and refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple under Apple’s terms. Restoring purchases uses the in-app Restore flow where available.
We may set reasonable usage limits to maintain availability and prevent abuse. Mobile data and other carrier charges may apply.
3. Eligibility and accounts
You must be at least 13 years old (or the higher minimum age required where you live) and have the legal capacity to accept these Terms. If local law requires a parent’s or guardian’s authorization, you must obtain it.
You may use core features as a guest / anonymous user. Signing in with Sign in with Apple or Google enables account features such as syncing Memories across devices and reclaiming guest Memories where supported. Use only accounts you are entitled to use. Keep your device and account access secure. Contact [TO BE COMPLETED: support contact email] if you suspect unauthorized access. Do not impersonate others.
4. App license and our intellectual property
The software license for the iOS app is governed by Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/. These Terms supplement that license for the MemorySprout service and do not replace it with a custom software EULA. Mandatory consumer protections continue to apply.
We retain ownership of our software, designs, trademarks, and other intellectual property. Your photos and generated content are addressed below.
5. Your photos and other content
You retain the rights you already hold in the photos, text, edits, and other content you submit. You must have the rights and permissions needed to upload and process that content, including any necessary permission from identifiable people in a photo. Do not upload content that infringes intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights.
You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, reproduce, transmit to the disclosed service providers, analyze, modify as you request, and display your content only as needed to deliver and secure the service you request. This license is not permission for unrelated advertising or undisclosed model training. Training and provider review are governed by the Privacy Policy.
The license lasts only as needed for those purposes, subject to disclosed retention, backups, and lawful preservation. You can request deletion as described in the Privacy Policy. We do not acquire ownership of your original photos by processing them.
6. AI-generated Stories and artwork
A Story and generated artwork are AI-created interpretations of your inputs. They may invent details, misidentify objects, or infer events and emotions not supported by the photo. They are not verified records of a person, relationship, place, or event. Review and edit before saving, sharing, or relying on them.
Do not use generated content as a basis for medical, legal, financial, employment, eligibility, or other consequential decisions. Do not present generated content as verified evidence about another person.
As between you and us, to the extent permitted by law and subject to rights in your inputs and any third-party material, we assign to you any rights we may hold in the Story or artwork generated for you. We do not guarantee that AI output qualifies for copyright protection, is unique, or is free of third-party rights. Similar output may be generated for other users.
7. Acceptable use
You must not use MemorySprout to break the law; exploit or endanger children; harass, threaten, or defame others; infringe rights; generate unlawful sexual content or non-consensual intimate material; impersonate people deceptively; distribute malware; disrupt the service; bypass usage limits; or access another person’s information without authorization.
You must not upload sensitive personal data without a lawful basis and required permissions. We may refuse processing or restrict access where reasonably necessary to prevent unlawful use, protect users or the service, or comply with law. We will provide notice and an opportunity to challenge a restriction where appropriate, unless doing so would be unlawful or create a security risk.
8. Third-party services
MemorySprout uses Sign in with Apple, Google Sign-In, Google Analytics for Firebase, Firebase Crashlytics, Supabase (auth, database, storage, Edge Functions), and AI providers described in the Privacy Policy. Their roles and data handling are explained there. You must comply with third-party terms that apply to your own use of those services.
Third-party outages can affect availability. Their involvement does not remove responsibilities that applicable law places on us.
9. Availability and changes
We may update the app, change features, or temporarily interrupt service for maintenance, security, or operational reasons. We will give reasonable notice of material reductions or discontinuation where practicable and legally required. We do not promise uninterrupted availability or permanent storage. Save copies of content you wish to keep.
If we materially change these Terms, we will notify you and state when the revised Terms take effect. We will request renewed acceptance where required. Changes do not retroactively remove accrued rights or substitute for required privacy consent.
10. Ending use and deleting your account
You may stop using MemorySprout at any time. If you have an account, you can initiate permanent deletion in the app at Profile → Account → Delete Account. You can also clear associated personal / Memory data via Profile → Account → Clear Personal Data. Deletion scope, timing, provider records, and lawful retention exceptions are described in the Privacy Policy.
We may suspend or terminate access for a material breach, unlawful use, a significant security risk, or where required by law. Where appropriate, we will explain the reason and give an opportunity to remedy or challenge the decision. Contact [TO BE COMPLETED: support contact email] for assistance. Ending access does not automatically erase data; the Privacy Policy governs deletion.
11. Warranties and responsibility
To the extent permitted by applicable law, MemorySprout is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, and we do not promise that every Story or generated image will be accurate or that the service will be error-free. These qualifications do not exclude statutory warranties or other mandatory consumer rights.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not responsible for indirect or consequential losses that could not reasonably have been foreseen. We do not exclude or limit liability where doing so would be unlawful, including for fraud, intentional misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by negligence where applicable law protects those claims. Your mandatory rights concerning reasonable care, service conformity, privacy, and consumer remedies remain intact.
12. Apple and support
MemorySprout is provided by us, not Apple. Contact us for questions about the service, support, or privacy. The applicable app license and Apple platform rules remain in effect. Nothing in these Terms removes rights or remedies provided by mandatory law.
For App Store subscription purchases, Apple’s billing and cancellation rules apply in addition to these Terms.
13. Applicable law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of [TO BE COMPLETED: governing law jurisdiction], without removing mandatory protections that apply in your country of habitual residence. Please first contact [TO BE COMPLETED: support contact email] so we can try to resolve a concern.
Subject to mandatory consumer jurisdiction rules, unresolved disputes may be brought before [TO BE COMPLETED: competent courts or venue]. Where local law permits you to bring a claim in your home jurisdiction, that right remains available. These Terms do not require arbitration or a waiver of class-action rights.
If a provision cannot lawfully be enforced, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted by law. Our failure to enforce a provision immediately is not a waiver of it.
