Perspiqa Terms of Service & User Agreement
Effective Date: September 2026 • Perspiqa Web Platform
1. Copyright Ownership & Non-Assertion Guarantee
You retain full, exclusive, and unencumbered copyright ownership over all photographs submitted for analysis. Perspiqa asserts zero commercial, distribution, or licensing claims over your imagery. Uploaded works are never used to train public machine learning weights.
2. Nature of AI Analyses & Mentor Feedback
The 100-point master scorecards, exposure evaluations, and mentor recommendations provided by Perspiqa are educational and artistic advisory benchmarks. They do not constitute certified commercial appraisals or binding legal expert testimonies.
3. Fair Use, Credit Quotas & Platform Security
Access is moderated by daily fair-use credit allocations. Automated bot scraping, rapid repetitive payload abuse, reverse engineering, or attempts to tamper with HMAC verification tokens are strictly forbidden and trigger automated IP rate limiting. Free analysis quotas, ad-based reward credits, and promotional allowances are dynamically determined based on operational infrastructure costs, regional parameters, third-party advertising partner policies, and fair-use standards. Perspiqa reserves the right to adjust, update, or differentiate reward quantities and promotional credit allocations according to geographical region or periodic operational criteria without prior notice.
4. Curated Discover Showcase (75+ Threshold), PRO Portfolio & Zero-Tolerance Community Policy
Users may optionally submit their 75+ score photographs to the curated "Discover Showcase" or their PRO Personal Portfolio to inspire the photography community. Public displays strictly keep technical flaws private; only master praise and strength highlights are published. Authors may remove their submissions at any time. ZERO-TOLERANCE POLICY (Apple App Store Guideline 1.2): Perspiqa enforces a strict zero-tolerance policy against objectionable, illegal, sexually explicit (NSFW), defamatory, harassing, hateful, deceptive (AI-generated imagery), or copyright-infringing content and abusive users in both the Discover Showcase and PRO Portfolios. Users can flag objectionable content ("Report Content") and block abusive authors ("Block Photographer") directly within the app. Reported posts are automatically quarantined from public feeds pending review, and our moderation team acts on all reports as quickly as possible (within a maximum of 24 hours) by permanently removing offending content and restricting or ejecting accounts that violate community standards.
5. Limitation of Liability & Termination for Breach of Terms
Perspiqa provides services on an “as is” and “as available” basis. While enterprise resilience measures are enforced, Perspiqa assumes no liability for intermittent ISP failures, client hardware incompatibilities, or third-party ad network interruptions. In the event that a user (including PRO subscribers) breaches the Zero-Tolerance Community Policy (e.g., uploading NSFW, illegal, harassing, or copyright-infringing content) or security rules through their own fault, Perspiqa reserves the right to immediately remove the offending content and restrict public showcase/portfolio publishing privileges or terminate the account without any obligation to issue a refund or compensation.
6. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
This agreement is construed in accordance with applicable laws. In the event of disputes, amicable resolution shall be pursued as a primary avenue before formal jurisdiction in authorized commercial courts.
7. Billing, Store Purchases & Refund Policy
Web billing transactions are securely processed by Paddle.com operating as Merchant of Record. Mobile app (iOS and Android) subscriptions and credit purchases are processed via official in-app billing systems (Apple StoreKit 2 In-App Purchase and Google Play Billing) under respective store policies. Subscriptions (Monthly, 6-Month, Annual PRO) automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period; users may manage or cancel subscriptions anytime in "iOS Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions" or "Google Play > Subscriptions". Digital goods and PRO memberships are activated immediately. Web refund requests can be made within 14 days via support.perspiqa@gmail.com; mobile in-app purchase refunds are managed through Apple App Store and Google Play account settings. No refunds are issued for accounts or public showcase privileges restricted or terminated due to violations of the Zero-Tolerance Community Policy or security rules.
8. PRO Membership Scope & Platform Advertising Policy
PRO Membership encompasses fair-use unlimited photo critiques (up to 25 analysis units per day and 300 analysis units per month to prevent automated abuse; single critiques, detailed reports, and Sage consultations count as 1 unit, side-by-side comparisons count as 2 units), a 20-photo personal portfolio showcase, the 6-skill exhibition evaluation report, and A4 official PDF reports. Third-party programmatic advertising networks present on Web (AdSense) and Android (AdMob) are completely disabled for PRO members (while the iOS v1.1.0 application already operates with zero third-party advertising SDKs). Curated partner software and gear recommendations (such as Luminar Neo) designed to assist photographers may be presented as editorial guides. Additionally, as an Amazon Associate, Perspiqa earns from qualifying purchases.
