1. Acceptance of Terms By downloading, installing, or using the AI Buddy application (the "App"), you agree to be bound by this End User License Agreement ("Agreement"). If you do not agree, do not download, install, or use the App. This Agreement is between you and Tanglu Chao("we," "us," "Licensor") — not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). Apple is not a party to this Agreement and is not responsible for the App or its content, except as set out in Section 12 below.
2. Age Requirements The App is intended for users 13 years of age and older. The App may generate content not suitable for children. If you are under 13, do not use the App. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may only use the App with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian and their agreement to these Terms on your behalf. Users in the EU/UK: if the applicable digital age of consent in your country is higher than 13 (up to 16 in some EU member states), the same parental-involvement requirement applies to you.
3. Description of Service AI Buddy provides access to a digital assistant powered by artificial intelligence technologies. Responses are generated using third-party AI processing services and are provided for informational and conversational purposes only. The App does not provide professional advice. AI-generated responses are not a substitute for professional medical, legal, financial, or other specialized advice. Always consult a qualified professional for such matters. Disclaimer: AI-generated content may contain errors or inaccuracies. You are solely responsible for evaluating and using any output from the App.
4. License Grant Subject to your compliance with this Agreement and the Usage Rules set forth in the applicable App Store's Terms of Service, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App solely on Apple-branded products that you own or control, and as permitted by the App Store's Usage Rules.
5. Prohibited Uses You agree not to: Use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law; Submit personal, health, or financial data that you do not wish to be processed by third-party AI systems; Use AI-generated content for unlawful, harmful, defamatory, or fraudulent purposes; Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the App, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law; Use the App on a jailbroken or similarly modified device; Present AI-generated output as verified fact without independent confirmation; Use the App to generate content that infringes third-party intellectual property, harasses others, or violates any person's rights.
6. Subscriptions and Payment If the App offers auto-renewable subscriptions: Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID account settings after purchase. No refund will be issued for the unused portion of a subscription period, except as required by applicable law or Apple's own refund policies. We (the developer) do not process or store your payment information; this is handled entirely by Apple. EU/UK statutory withdrawal rights: if you are a consumer in the EU or UK, you generally have a 14- day right of withdrawal from a digital subscription purchase, which you waive once you begin using the subscription content with your express consent (as reflected by Apple's purchase flow). Refund requests are handled through Apple, in accordance with Apple's policies and applicable consumer law.
7. Data Processing and Privacy Your use of the App is also governed by our [Privacy Policy], which describes what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights. By using the App, you acknowledge that message content may be transmitted to third-party AI processing providers as described in the Privacy Policy. We do not control or filter the content of your queries or AI-generated responses beyond automated safety filters intended to reduce harmful output.
8.
