FaceLapse Terms of Use

Effective date: August 12, 2026
Last updated: August 12, 2026

These Terms of Use (the "Terms") set out the conditions for using the iOS app "FaceLapse" (the "App"), provided by Yuya Sato (the "Operator"). By downloading or using the App, you agree to these Terms.

Article 1 (Scope and Relationship with Apple's Standard Agreement)

  1. Your license to use the App is governed by Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Standard EULA").
  2. These Terms supplement the Standard EULA. If these Terms conflict with the Standard EULA, the Standard EULA prevails with respect to license matters.
  3. These Terms are an agreement between you and the Operator, not with Apple. The Operator, not Apple, is responsible for the App and its support. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms to the extent provided in the Standard EULA.

Article 2 (What the App Does)

  1. The App automatically detects faces in photos you select and creates a growth time-lapse video with the faces aligned by eye position.
  2. All photo analysis (face detection) and video creation happen entirely on your iPhone. Your photos and videos are never sent to the Operator or to any external server.
  3. Creating and previewing videos is free.

Article 3 (Fees, Purchases, and Refunds)

  1. Saving and sharing the videos you create requires a one-time payment (a non-consumable in-app purchase). This is not a subscription, and you will never be charged on a recurring basis.
  2. The price is the amount displayed on the App Store and on the in-app purchase screen. Prices may change without notice (existing purchasers will never be charged again).
  3. All payments are processed by Apple. Refunds are decided and handled by Apple under Apple's policies; the Operator cannot process refunds directly. To request a refund, please use Apple's Report a Problem page.
  4. After changing devices or reinstalling the App, you can restore your purchase free of charge from "Restore Purchases" in the App, using the same Apple Account.
  5. This purchase is not eligible for Family Sharing.

Article 4 (Rights to and Responsibility for Your Photos and Videos)

  1. All rights to the photos you use in the App and the videos it creates remain with you (or their original rights holders). The Operator claims no rights to them.
  2. The Operator does not receive and cannot view your photos or videos.
  3. You are responsible for respecting the portrait rights and privacy of the people who appear in your photos (including children) and for obtaining any necessary consent. In particular, when sharing or publishing a video on social media or elsewhere, please give due consideration to the wishes of the people shown and their parents or guardians.
  4. Sending a video outside your device using the share feature is done at your own discretion and responsibility.

Article 5 (Data Retention and App-Specific Notes)

  1. The App does not store your working data (selected photos, face selections, or unsaved videos) on the device. When you close the App, this data is lost. To keep a video, save it to your photo library.
  2. You are responsible for managing and backing up any videos you save.
  3. Face detection and alignment are automatic processes and may contain errors (a face may not be detected, an unintended face may be selected, or alignment may be off). Please check the result in the preview before using it.
  4. The App may automatically sort photos by the capture date recorded in the photos (Exif data). If any photo lacks a capture date, the photos remain in the order you selected them.

Article 6 (Prohibited Conduct)

When using the App, you must not:

  1. violate any law or public order and morals;
  2. infringe the copyright, portrait rights, privacy, or other rights of any third party (including using or publishing photos without the necessary rights or consent);
  3. copy, modify, reverse engineer, or redistribute the App (except as permitted by the Standard EULA); or
  4. interfere with the operation of the App or with other users' use of it.

Article 7 (Disclaimer)

  1. The App is provided "as is." The Operator does not warrant that it will be complete, accurate, or fit for any particular purpose.
  2. To the extent permitted by law, the Operator is not liable for damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the App — except where such damages are caused by the Operator's intentional misconduct or gross negligence.
  3. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you have as a consumer under applicable law.

Article 8 (Changes to the App and to These Terms)

  1. The Operator may change the App or discontinue providing it without prior notice.
  2. The Operator may revise these Terms as needed. Revised Terms take effect when posted on this page (or on the effective date stated at the time of posting). For material changes, the Operator will provide clear notice in the App or in the App Store release notes.
  3. By continuing to use the App after the Terms are revised, you are deemed to have agreed to the revised Terms.

Article 9 (Governing Law)

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Japan. This does not deprive you of any consumer rights granted by the laws of the country or region where you live.
