Terms of Service
Last updated: 6 August 2026
These terms are an agreement between you and João Campagnolo ("we", "us"), covering your use of the (d)Effect iOS app. By downloading or using the app, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please don't use the app.
The app
(d)Effect is a camera app that applies real-time effects to photos and videos on your iPhone. Captures are saved to your own Photos library.
(d)Effect is currently in free beta. All features are available at no cost. Beta software is unfinished by nature: features may change, be removed, or stop working, and we may end the beta at any time.
Who can use it
You must be at least 13 years old to use (d)Effect. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may only use the app with the involvement of a parent or guardian.
Your account
Some actions prompt you to create an account using Sign in with Apple or Google. You're responsible for keeping access to that account secure, and for activity that happens under it.
You can delete your account at any time from inside the app — Gallery → Settings → Account → Delete Account. This is permanent. What we hold and what deletion removes is described in our Privacy Policy.
Your content
Because your media never reaches us, you are solely responsible for what you capture and for having the rights to capture it — including consent from people you record, where that's required by the law that applies to you.
Acceptable use
Don't use (d)Effect to:
- Break any law, or record anyone in a way that violates their privacy or the law where you are.
- Create or distribute material that sexually exploits or endangers children.
- Harass, threaten, defame, or impersonate anyone.
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the app, except where that restriction is prohibited by law.
- Interfere with, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to our systems or accounts belonging to others.
- Resell, redistribute, or sublicense the app itself.
Our rights in the app
The app — its code, effects, interface, name, and branding — belongs to us and is protected by copyright and other laws. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use it on devices you own or control, in line with Apple's App Store Terms of Service. That licence is all you receive; we keep everything else.
Purchases
(d)Effect is free during the beta and contains no active in-app purchases.
If we introduce paid features later, they will be sold as Apple in-app purchases. Apple processes the payment, we never see your payment details, and prices are shown before you buy. Refunds are handled by Apple under its own policies, not by us — request them through Apple, not through support. A one-time purchase stays tied to your Apple ID and can be restored on your devices.
Third-party services
The app relies on services we don't control — Apple and Google for sign-in, and Supabase for account storage. Your use of those is subject to their own terms. We're not responsible for their availability or their acts.
Changes and availability
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue (d)Effect, in whole or in part, at any time. We may also update these terms; if the changes are material we'll update the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, tell you in the app. Continuing to use the app after that means you accept the revised terms.
Ending this agreement
You can end it whenever you like by deleting your account and removing the app. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these terms. The sections covering your content, our rights, disclaimers, liability, and governing law survive termination.
Disclaimers
(d)Effect is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, and non-infringement. We don't warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that it will produce any particular result.
The app is not a backup service. Your captures live in your Photos library and nowhere else — keeping them safe is your responsibility.
Some jurisdictions don't allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing here limits rights you have as a consumer that cannot be waived by agreement.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or lost media, arising from your use of (d)Effect.
Our total liability for any claim relating to the app is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or USD 50.
Again, this doesn't limit liability that cannot be limited by law — including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
Apple
These terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for (d)Effect or its content, and has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it. If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the app. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claim relating to the app, including product liability, regulatory non-compliance, or consumer protection claims. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be brought in the courts of São Paulo, SP, Brazil, except where the law where you live gives you the right to bring proceedings locally — including, for consumers domiciled in Brazil, the right under the Código de Defesa do Consumidor to sue in their own domicile.
