Terms of Service

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may only use the Service with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf. You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher) to purchase a subscription or make any in-app payment. The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

You also represent that you are not barred from receiving the Service under the laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction, and that you will not use the Service to violate any law or these Terms.

2. How the Service Identifies You; Accounts

2.1 Anonymous User ID (Default)

For users who do not create a web account, when you first launch the App or PWA the Service generates a random, anonymous identifier ("User ID") and stores it on your device. The User ID is used to:

• attribute saved patterns and generation history to your device;
• associate your subscription entitlement (via RevenueCat) so that Premium access can be restored if you reinstall the app or sign in on another device with the same App Store / Google Play account; and
• pass an anonymous user reference to OpenAI when generating images (used by OpenAI for abuse monitoring).

Reinstalling the app or wiping local storage will reset your User ID and erase your locally saved data, including favorites and generation history. Your Premium subscription entitlement is tied to your App Store or Google Play account and can be restored using the "Restore Purchases" function inside the app.

You are responsible for activity that occurs under your User ID on your device. If you believe your subscription has been used by an unauthorized party, contact Apple or Google as applicable.

2.2 Web Account (Optional)

You may optionally create a web account by providing your email address. The web account is used for authentication only — sign-in is handled via a magic link sent to your email (no password is required or stored). Magic-link tokens expire after 15 minutes. If you create a web account, we store:

• your email address;
• session tokens (to keep you signed in on the web; each session token expires after 30 days of inactivity); and
• optionally, a RevenueCat user identifier if you link your app subscription to your web account (used solely to verify your Premium subscription status on the web).

You can delete your web account at any time by visiting the account deletion page or by contacting support@pyrographypatterns.com. Deleting your web account removes your email address and session tokens from our systems. Anonymized usage data (such as gallery images you have shared) may be retained per these Terms.

3. Subscriptions, Billing, and Refunds

3.1 In-App Only; Web Access for Active Subscribers

Premium subscriptions ("Subscription") are sold only through the Apple App Store (in-app purchase) and Google Play Billing. There is no web-only subscription option. Pyrography Patterns does not process payments directly — all purchases are handled by Apple or Google under their respective terms.

If you have an active Premium subscription through the App, you may link it to a web account to access Premium features on the web at no additional charge. This is an extension of your existing app subscription, not a separate purchase.

We use RevenueCat to validate purchase receipts and to grant the "Premium" entitlement across iOS and Android. If you use the Apps on multiple devices tied to the same App Store or Google Play account, your Premium entitlement follows your store account via RevenueCat once the Service is launched on that device.

3.2 Pricing and Billing

Current Subscription plans, prices, and billing periods are shown in the App at the point of purchase. The purchase is billed by Apple or Google under their terms, not ours. We do not receive or store your payment card details.

3.3 Auto-renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current price, plus applicable taxes, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period (or such other window required by the applicable app store). Your payment method will be charged at confirmation of purchase and at the start of each renewal period.

3.4 Cancellation

You can cancel a Subscription at any time:

• iOS / App Store: Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions
• Android / Google Play: Play Store → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions

Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you keep Premium access until then. We do not provide partial-period refunds for unused time except where required by law.

3.5 Free trials and introductory offers

If we offer a free trial or introductory offer, the terms of that offer (including duration and any restrictions on eligibility) will be disclosed at sign-up inside the App. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, your Subscription will automatically convert to a paid Subscription at the then-current price.

3.6 Refunds

Refunds for Subscriptions and in-app purchases are handled by Apple and Google under their respective refund policies. Request refunds directly through:

• Apple: https://reportaproblem.apple.com
• Google: https://play.google.com/store/account

For billing questions that are not resolvable through the store, contact support@pyrographypatterns.com. Except as required by law (including consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction), all sales are final.

3.7 Price changes

We may change Subscription prices from time to time. If a price change applies to your Subscription, we (or the applicable app store on our behalf) will provide advance notice and an opportunity to cancel before the change takes effect, as required by the applicable app store and by law.

3.8 Taxes

Prices may not include taxes. The applicable app store calculates and collects sales, use, value-added, or similar taxes where required.

3.9 Free Tier and Generation Limits

Some features of the Service — including a limited number of free AI pattern generations — are available without a Subscription. We may change the number of free generations or the features included in the free tier at any time, with reasonable notice for adverse changes.

4. License to Use the Service; AI-Generated Output

4.1 License grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms (and, for paid features, your active Subscription), we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the Apps on devices you own or control and to access and use the Service.

4.2 AI-Generated Output (Generated Patterns)

The Service generates pyrography pattern images using OpenAI models (currently gpt-image-1.5 for images and image edits, gpt-5-mini for prompt optimization, and omni-moderation-latest for content moderation). Images you generate through the Service are referred to as "Generated Patterns."

Ownership of Generated Patterns. All images generated through the Pyrography Patterns platform are produced via Pyrography Patterns' API account with OpenAI. Under OpenAI's terms for API operators, generated outputs belong to the API account operator — Pyrography Patterns, LLC owns all Generated Patterns. You acknowledge that:

• under U.S. Copyright Office guidance, purely AI-generated images may not be eligible for copyright protection in the United States;
• your use of Generated Patterns is subject to OpenAI's usage policies (https://openai.com/policies/usage-policies), which prohibit certain content categories regardless of how the image is produced; and
• prompts you submit and the images returned to you are sent to OpenAI as a subprocessor (see our Privacy Policy).

Your rights to Generated Patterns. Pyrography Patterns grants you a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use Generated Patterns for any purpose — personal or commercial — including printing, selling, distributing, or incorporating them into products. No copyright claim is made by Pyrography Patterns against your use of patterns you generate. You are free to use them however you like, provided your use does not violate the prohibited uses listed below.

Prohibited uses. You may not use the Service or any Generated Pattern to:

• use Generated Patterns to train, fine-tune, or evaluate any AI/ML model, including competing services;
• create content that violates OpenAI's usage policies (including child sexual abuse material, content sexualizing minors, content that incites violence, etc.);
• infringe the intellectual property or other rights of any third party (including by prompting the Service to imitate a specific living artist's style with the intent to deceive, or to reproduce a protected character or brand without authorization);
• harass, defame, or threaten any person; or
• circumvent the Service's moderation, rate limits, or paywall.

You are solely responsible for the prompts you submit and for your use of the Generated Patterns you receive. Generated Patterns are produced by an automated system and may be inaccurate, offensive, or unsuitable for a given purpose; review them before use.

4.3 Restrictions on the Service Generally

You may not (a) reverse engineer, decompile, or extract source code from the Apps, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction; (b) use the Service or its outputs to compete with us or to create a substantially similar product or library; (c) use any robot, scraper, or automated means to access the Service or the public gallery; or (d) interfere with the operation of the Service.

4.4 Ownership of the Service

The Service, the Apps, the Site, and all content we create or license are owned by Pyrography Patterns or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. No license is granted by implication, estoppel, or otherwise. The "Pyrography Patterns" name and logo are trademarks of Pyrography Patterns, LLC.

5. User Content and the Public Gallery

5.1 What is User Content

"User Content" means content you submit to the Service — including the prompts you enter, any photos you upload, and any feedback, reports, or messages you send us. Generated Patterns (AI-generated images) are platform content owned by Pyrography Patterns as described in Section 4.2; they are not User Content for purposes of this Section.

5.2 Public Gallery — defaults

The Service includes an in-app public gallery showcasing patterns generated by users. Two flows interact with the gallery:

• "Create Patterns → Pattern Description" (free-form prompt generations): Generations from this flow are not published to the public gallery by default. You can opt in via the "Share to Gallery" toggle on the prompt form. The first time you turn the toggle on, the App will show a confirmation explaining what publishing means. You can turn the toggle off at any time.
• "Pattern Ideas" (curated prompt library generations): Generations from this flow are published to the public gallery by default, in the gallery's "Curated from Pattern Ideas" section. You can opt out via the "Copy Pattern Ideas generations into the gallery" toggle, which is shown in-flow and clearly notifies you of the default behavior.

If you choose to publish (or do not opt out of publishing) a pattern to the public gallery, you acknowledge that the image is platform content owned by Pyrography Patterns (see Section 4.2), and the terms of Section 5.3 apply.

5.3 Gallery-Shared Images — Permanent Platform Content

When you share a Generated Pattern to the public gallery (whether by opting in or by not opting out as described in Section 5.2), you acknowledge that the image is platform content owned by Pyrography Patterns (see Section 4.2), and you grant Pyrography Patterns a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, distribute, and use that image as part of the Service, in promotional materials, and in related content.

Gallery-shared images are permanent platform content. Once an image is shared to the public gallery, you do not retain the right to request its removal. Images shared to the gallery may continue to be displayed even after you stop using the Service.

For other User Content (prompts and uploaded photos that are not published to the public gallery), we use them only as described in our Privacy Policy — primarily to operate the AI pipeline, including transmission to OpenAI as a subprocessor.

5.4 Photo Conversion Feature

The Service includes a feature that converts a photo you upload into a pyrography pattern ("Photo Conversion"). The following rules apply to Photo Conversion outputs:

• Not eligible for the public gallery. Patterns produced via Photo Conversion cannot be shared to the public gallery. The gallery is limited to AI-generated patterns from text prompts.
• Your responsibility. You are solely responsible for ensuring you have all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to upload and process any photo you submit. Do not upload photos you do not own or have rights to use.
• No Pyrography Patterns liability. Pyrography Patterns is not responsible for any copyright, privacy, or other claim arising from a photo you upload. By using Photo Conversion, you represent that you hold the necessary rights to the source photo.

5.5 Your representations

You represent that (a) you own or have all necessary rights to your User Content (including any prompts and any photos you upload), (b) your User Content does not infringe any third party's rights or violate OpenAI's usage policies, and (c) it complies with these Terms and applicable law.

5.6 Prohibited User Content

You will not submit User Content that is illegal, infringing, defamatory, harassing, hateful, sexually explicit, sexualizes minors, depicts real-world violence against identifiable people, promotes self-harm, or is otherwise prohibited by OpenAI's usage policies or applicable law. We may, but are not required to, review, remove, refuse, or moderate User Content, and may suspend or restrict your use of the Service for repeated or serious violations.

5.7 Content reporting

Any user can report a gallery pattern using the "Report" action on the pattern card. Reports send the reported image, prompt, basic device/network metadata, and your anonymous User ID to our support team via email. We use these reports to remove inappropriate content and, where appropriate, to restrict the reporting User ID. See our Privacy Policy for details.

5.8 Feedback

If you send us suggestions or feedback, we may use them without obligation to you.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
• attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service or to another user's data;
• interfere with or disrupt the Service, including by introducing malware, denial-of-service attempts, or excessive automated requests;
• circumvent any content-protection, rate-limit, moderation, or access-control mechanism, including the free-generation limit; or
• use the Service to generate content that violates Section 4.2 or OpenAI's usage policies.

7. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third-party providers to function, including:

• OpenAI — for image generation, image edits, prompt optimization, and content moderation;
• Cloudflare — for hosting (Cloudflare Pages), serverless backend (Workers / Pages Functions), object storage (R2), key-value storage (KV), and DDoS protection;
• RevenueCat — for subscription receipt validation and cross-platform entitlement sync;
• Apple App Store and Google Play — for distribution, in-app purchases, and store-side analytics; and
• Resend — for transactional email, including magic-link authentication emails sent to users who create a web account, and delivery of user-submitted content reports to our support team.

We may add push-notification functionality in a future release (anticipated provider: OneSignal). If we do, we will update these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

We are not responsible for third-party content, products, or practices, and your use of third-party services is governed by their terms.

8. DMCA and Copyright Complaints

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, please send a written notice to support@pyrographypatterns.com with the subject line "DMCA Notice" that includes:

1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed;
3. identification of the material claimed to be infringing and its location on the Service (e.g., a description of the gallery item or a screenshot);
4. your contact information;
5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized; and
6. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

We may remove allegedly infringing material and may restrict the User ID of repeat infringers.

9. Mobile Application Terms — Apple and Google

9.1 Apple App Store (applies if you obtained the App from the Apple App Store)

• Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App, including product-liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and claims under consumer-protection or similar law.

• You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

9.2 Google Play (applies if you obtained the App from Google Play)

• Your use of the App must comply with the Google Play Terms of Service.
• Google is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the App or its content.

10. Updates and Changes to the Service

We may update, modify, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, including features, generation limits, supported AI models, and the third-party providers we use. We will use reasonable efforts to provide notice of material changes that adversely affect paid Subscribers. We are not liable for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service except as required by your Subscription rights described in Section 3.

11. Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE AND ALL GENERATED PATTERNS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, or that AI output will meet your expectations. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, that the AI models will produce any particular result, or that any pattern is suitable for any particular project.

AI Output disclaimer. AI-generated content is produced by an automated system and may contain inaccuracies, unexpected content, or outputs that are similar to existing works. You are responsible for reviewing and verifying any Generated Pattern before using it.

Pyrography safety disclaimer. Pyrography involves heat, fire, smoke, and sharp tools. You are solely responsible for using appropriate safety equipment, ventilation, and supervision, and for choosing safe materials. We are not responsible for injuries, property damage, fire, smoke inhalation, or other harm arising from your pyrography activities, including activities undertaken using patterns obtained from the Service.

Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of certain warranties; in those jurisdictions, the above exclusions apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL PYROGRAPHY PATTERNS, ITS OWNERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE LESSER OF (A) USD $100 OR (B) THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY YOU TO PYROGRAPHY PATTERNS (OR TO APPLE OR GOOGLE FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS THAT GRANTED YOU PREMIUM ACCESS) IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations; in those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by law.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Pyrography Patterns and its members, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of (a) your User Content (including prompts and uploaded photos), (b) your use of any Generated Pattern, (c) your use of the Service, (d) your violation of these Terms, OpenAI's usage policies, or applicable law, or (e) your violation of any third-party right.

14. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. You may cancel a Subscription as described in Section 3.4.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service. Sections 4.2 (final two paragraphs, regarding prohibited uses and responsibility), 4.3, 4.4, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.7, 7, 8, and 10–18 survive termination.

15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Informal resolution first. Before filing any claim, you agree to contact us at support@pyrographypatterns.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.

Venue. Subject to the informal-resolution requirement, you and we agree that any dispute will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Indiana, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction there.

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction for misuse of intellectual property.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If a change is material, we will provide reasonable notice (for example, by in-app notice or a notice on the Site) before it takes effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of the updated Terms constitutes your acceptance. If you do not agree to a material change, you may cancel your Subscription and stop using the Service.

17. Miscellaneous

• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any plan-specific terms, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
• Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
• No agency. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship.
• Export. You agree to comply with applicable export and sanctions laws.
• Notices. We may give notices via the Service or the Site. You may send notices to us at the contact information below.
