Terms of Service
Welcome to Cosmetry. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Cosmetry iOS application ("the App") operated by Mustafa Batin Efe ("we," "our," or "us"). By using the App, you agree to these Terms.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By creating an account or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not use the App.
You must be at least 13 years old to use Cosmetry.
2. Account & Authentication
Cosmetry uses Apple-signed App Store transaction data to create or restore an account and Apple App Attest to verify genuine app requests. The App Transaction ID is associated with the App Store acquisition of Cosmetry; it is not a hardware identifier, advertising identifier, email address, or Apple ID credential.
- Cosmetry does not ask you for an email address or password and does not receive your Apple ID credentials
- Account restoration depends on the Apple-signed transaction identity returned for Cosmetry; each installation must separately pass App Attest verification
- You may not create duplicate identities, evade one-time-benefit limits, transfer an account, or interfere with attestation
- Deleting your account removes ordinary account data subject to the limited anti-abuse and third-party retention described below and in the Privacy Policy
3. Subscriptions, Credits & Fair Use
Cosmetry provides AI-powered features (AI Chat, AI Product Scan, and optional AI Skin Scan) through Premium subscriptions and, for non-subscribers, a credit system.
Premium Subscriptions
An active Premium entitlement includes eligible AI use without per-request credit deductions, subject to reasonable daily fair-use controls. The exact products, storefront price, billing period, free-trial eligibility, renewal terms, and included benefits shown on Apple's purchase sheet when you confirm a purchase control that transaction. Subscriptions can be managed or canceled in iOS Settings.
Fair-Use Policy
Credits (Free & Trial Use)
Users who are not subscribed use a credit system for AI features:
- The amount of any welcome, trial, or subscription-included credits is the amount disclosed in the App or Apple's purchase sheet for that offer
- Additional credits may be purchased as one-time Credit Packs (prices shown in the App)
- Credit pack credits do not expire as long as your account is active
- Failed server-side AI requests are eligible for automatic metering reversal; contact support with your Support ID if a reversal cannot complete immediately
Important Purchase Terms
- Credits are non-refundable except as required by law or Apple's refund policies
- Unused subscription or trial credits may reset or expire at the next entitlement period as disclosed with the offer; separately purchased credit-pack credits remain while the account is active
- When your balance contains both non-expiring and expiring credits, non-expiring credits are deducted first. This means welcome credits and separately purchased credit-pack credits are used before subscription or trial credits that later reset or expire. Among non-expiring credits, older grants are used first; among expiring credits, the earliest-expiring grants are used first
- Credits cannot be transferred, gifted, or carried over between accounts
- Deleting your account forfeits remaining credits and removes Cosmetry's credit ledger. Apple and Adapty may retain transaction records independently for purchase administration, fraud prevention, accounting, or legal compliance
- Subscriptions are managed through Apple — cancel anytime in iOS Settings
- Refunds are handled exclusively through Apple's refund policies
4. AI Features & Disclaimer
- AI Chat, AI Product Scan, and optional AI Skin Scan are powered by Google Gemini API
- AI responses may be inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading — always verify independently
- AI-extracted product information should be reviewed and corrected by you before saving
- The App does not diagnose skin conditions, prescribe treatments, or replace professional medical advice
- Before Cosmetry sends personal data to Google Gemini, the App identifies the recipient and data categories and asks for explicit permission. Chat/Product Scan and Skin Scan use separate permissions that can be withdrawn in Profile
- Cosmetry does not persist AI-uploaded product photos or Skin Scan selfies on its servers. Google's processing and limited retention are governed by the Gemini API terms
- For severe skin reactions, seek immediate medical attention
Skin Scan. The optional AI Skin Scan analyzes a selfie to estimate cosmetic skin attributes for personalization. It is informational and cosmetic only — it does not diagnose, treat, or detect any medical or skin condition, and is not a substitute for a dermatologist. Results are AI-generated estimates and may be inaccurate. After you grant the separate Skin Scan permission, the photo passes through Cosmetry's serverless processor to Google Gemini; Cosmetry does not persist the image file, while Google's limited retention may still apply under its terms.
5. User Responsibilities
- Provide accurate product and ingredient information to the best of your knowledge
- Do not rely solely on the App for medical or health-related decisions
- Consult a professional for severe or persistent skin reactions
- Use the App in compliance with all applicable laws
- Do not attempt to manipulate the credit system or reverse-engineer the App
6. Ingredient Database
Cosmetry includes a reference database of skincare ingredients with INCI names, safety ratings, and functional descriptions. This database is provided for informational purposes only. Ingredient data may be incomplete, safety ratings are general references, and allergen flagging is based on your personal avoid list.
7. Intellectual Property
- The App, its design, code, and content are owned by Mustafa Batin Efe
- You retain full ownership of your personal data
- The "Cosmetry" and "Cosmai" names and logos are trademarks of the developer
- You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from the App
8. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS-IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. We are not liable for skincare decisions made based on App information, adverse skin reactions, inaccurate AI-generated data, or data loss. In no event shall our total liability exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the preceding 12 months, or (b) $100 USD.
9. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Mustafa Batin Efe from claims arising from your violation of these Terms, misuse of the App, skincare decisions based on App data, or failure to seek professional advice when appropriate.
10. Force Majeure
We shall not be liable for failures or delays caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, internet outages, third-party service failures, government actions, or cyberattacks.
11. Account Termination
- Delete your account at any time from Profile > Delete Account
- Account deletion is permanent and irreversible for ordinary app data
- To prevent repeated welcome-credit and one-time free-scan abuse, Cosmetry retains an indefinite service-only pseudonymous tombstone containing a keyed one-way HMAC, minimum claimed-benefit flags, deletion time, and key/schema version. It does not retain the raw App Transaction ID, inventory, photos, chat, profile, or credit ledger
- Cancel active subscriptions in iOS Settings before deleting your account
- We reserve the right to terminate accounts that violate these Terms
12. Data Processing & GDPR
For EU/EEA users, we process personal data in accordance with the GDPR. We act as the data controller and rely on contract performance, consent for AI data sharing, and legitimate interests including service security and fraud prevention. You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, port your data, and object where applicable. Contact help@mbefe.com to exercise your rights. See our Privacy Policy for full details, including retention and international-transfer safeguards.
13. Modifications to Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last Updated" date at the top will reflect changes. Your continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance.
14. Dispute Resolution
Before initiating any formal proceedings, you agree to first contact us at help@mbefe.com to attempt to resolve any dispute informally for a period of 30 days. If unresolved, the dispute shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Istanbul, Turkey.
15. Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Turkey. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Istanbul, Turkey.
16. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Mustafa Batin Efe regarding use of the App and supersede prior communications or agreements on that subject. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of that provision or any other right.
17. Assignment
You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of substantially all relevant assets.
18. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable or invalid, it will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
