The App can be used without account registration. Users shall agree to these Terms and then download and begin using the App.

Article 4 (Handling of Photos and Likenesses, and User Responsibility)

The App detects faces from the photos on your device and creates game piece images. All of this processing is performed on your device, and photo and face information is never transmitted externally (for details, please see our "Privacy Policy").

• We bear no responsibility for any dispute or damage arising between a User and a third party due to, among other things, the use of a third party's photo or likeness without the rights holder's consent.

Article 5 (Fees, Advertising, and In-App Purchases)

The App is free to use on a basic level. The App displays advertisements. We also offer a one-time in-app purchase that removes ads. In-app purchases and their restoration are processed through the App Store or Google Play, and fees, payment, and refunds are governed by the terms of each app store.
