tekstologo — Terms of Service

Effective date: [DATE]

Last updated: [DATE]

Plain-English summary (not a substitute for the terms below): tekstologo is a simple tool for making text logos. You own the logos you make. You're responsible for making sure your logo — and any fonts or images you bring in — don't infringe someone else's rights. tekstologo is provided "as is," and our liability is limited. Please read the full terms.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you ("you", "user") and [COMPANY LEGAL NAME] ("tekstologo", "we", "us", "our"), governing your use of the tekstologo application and website (together, the "Service"). By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, whichever is higher) to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Service only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms.

2. The Service

tekstologo lets you create text-based logos and word‑marks by typing text and applying fonts, colours, effects, and layouts, and then exporting the result as an image file. The Service is offered in a Free tier and may offer a paid Pro tier or in‑app purchases with additional features (see Section 7).

We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We are not liable to you for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service, except as required by applicable law.

3. Your Content and Ownership

• You own what you make. As between you and tekstologo, you retain all rights to the text you enter and the logos you create and export using the Service ("Your Content"). We claim no ownership of Your Content.
• Local processing. Logo creation happens on your device. We do not require you to upload Your Content to us to use the core features.
• Feedback. If you send us suggestions or feedback, you grant us a non‑exclusive, perpetual, royalty‑free licence to use it without obligation to you.

4. Fonts, Images, and Third‑Party Assets — Important

• Bundled fonts. The Service may include open‑source fonts (for example, fonts licensed under the SIL Open Font License). Your use of those fonts within exported logos is permitted under their respective licences. We do not grant you any rights in those fonts beyond what those licences allow.
• Fonts and images you import. You may be able to import your own font files (e.g. .ttf, .otf) or images. You are solely responsible for ensuring you have the necessary licences and rights to use, embed, and distribute any font, image, or other asset you import, including for commercial use. Many commercial fonts restrict embedding, resale, or logo use — check the licence before you rely on it.
• No licence granted by us for your imports. We do not grant, and are not responsible for, licences to any third‑party assets you bring into the Service.

5. Trademark and Intellectual‑Property Responsibility — Important

tekstologo is a design tool. It does not check whether a logo you create is available to use, is unique, or infringes anyone else's trademark, trade dress, copyright, or other rights.

• You are solely responsible for ensuring that any logo, name, word‑mark, or design you create with the Service does not infringe, dilute, or otherwise violate the rights of any third party, and for conducting your own trademark clearance where appropriate.
• We make no representation or warranty that any logo you create is registrable, protectable, original, or free to use in any jurisdiction or industry.
• Registering a trademark, securing rights, and clearing a mark for use are your responsibility. Consider consulting a qualified attorney.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to create, export, or distribute content that:

• infringes any third party's intellectual‑property, privacy, or publicity rights;
• is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, or promotes violence or discrimination;
• impersonates a person or organisation, or is intended to deceive or defraud (including counterfeiting a brand);
• contains malware or attempts to interfere with, reverse‑engineer (except as permitted by law), or disrupt the Service.

We may remove access or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

7. Purchases, Pro Features, and Subscriptions

• In‑app purchases. Paid features may be offered as a one‑time purchase or a subscription through the Apple App Store or Google Play ("App Stores"). All purchases are processed by the relevant App Store under its terms and payment rules, not by us directly.
• Subscriptions (if offered). Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You manage and cancel subscriptions in your App Store account settings. Pricing and billing intervals are disclosed at the point of purchase.
• Refunds. Refunds are handled by the applicable App Store according to its refund policy. We generally cannot issue refunds directly for App Store purchases.
• Changes to pricing/features. We may change Pro features or pricing prospectively. Changes do not affect a one‑time purchase you have already made unless required by law.

8. Intellectual Property in the Service

The Service itself — including the tekstologo name and logo, software, design, and interface — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual‑property laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non‑exclusive, non‑transferable, revocable licence to use the Service in accordance with these Terms. You may not copy, sell, sublicense, or create derivative works of the Service except as permitted by law.

9. Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy [LINK], which explains what limited data we collect and how we handle it. Where the app stores your work (such as saved logos, recent colours, or imported fonts), it is generally stored locally on your device.

10. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON‑INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR‑FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY LOGO CREATED WILL BE SUITABLE, UNIQUE, OR LEGALLY AVAILABLE FOR YOUR USE. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some of the above may not apply to you.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LOQO AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) [USD 50 / your chosen cap]. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless tekstologo from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of (a) Your Content, (b) any font, image, or asset you import or use, (c) any logo you create or use, (d) your violation of these Terms, or (e) your violation of any third‑party right, including intellectual‑property and trademark rights.

13. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms or if we discontinue the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive (including Sections 3–5 and 8–14) survive termination.

14. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of [STATE / COUNTRY], without regard to conflict‑of‑laws rules. The courts located in [JURISDICTION] will have exclusive jurisdiction, unless mandatory consumer‑protection laws in your country of residence provide otherwise. [Optional: add an arbitration clause / class‑action waiver only after legal review, as these have specific enforceability requirements.]

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, provide notice in the app. Your continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

16. Apple App Store — Additional Terms

• Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support for the app.
