These terms are the agreement between you and Norellix Studio about how you use Swipe to Discover. We've tried to keep them short and readable. If you use the app, you're agreeing to them. If you don't agree, don't use the app.
1. Who you're agreeing with
"We," "us," and "Norellix Studio" mean Norellix Studio, an independent developer based in New Jersey, USA. "The app" or "the Services" means the Swipe to Discover mobile application and the related backend.
2. Who can use the app
You must be at least 17 years old to use the app, or be old enough in your country to legally agree to these terms — whichever is older. By using the app you confirm you meet that bar. If you're using the app on behalf of a business, you confirm you're authorized to bind that business.
3. Your account
Some features (cross-device sync, premium) require an account. You're responsible for keeping your sign-in credentials safe and for everything that happens under your account. Tell us right away if you think someone else is using it.
You can delete your account from inside the app at any time (Settings → Account → Delete account). Deletion is permanent and removes your saved places, notes, and history within 7 days.
4. What you can do with the app
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app for your own non-commercial purposes. You may not:
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract source code from the app, except where the law explicitly allows it.
- Scrape, mass-download, or republish the place data shown in the app.
- Use the app to harass anyone, send spam, or attempt to harm other users or our infrastructure.
- Use bots, scripts, or automation to interact with the app at scale.
- Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the app or any data inside it without our written permission.
- Try to bypass the swipe limit, ad gating, premium gating, or any other rate limit or security feature.
Breaking these rules can get your account suspended or terminated without notice.
5. Content from third parties
The places, photos, reviews, and similar content shown in the app are provided by third parties — primarily the Google Places API. We don't own that content and we don't verify it. Hours may be wrong, places may have closed, photos may be outdated. Treat the app as a starting point, not a guarantee. If something is wrong, please tap "Report a problem" or email us so we can pass it along.
6. Your content (notes, ratings, etc.)
The personal notes you write on places, your saved lists, and similar content stay yours. You give us a limited license to store and display that content to you (and to anyone you explicitly share a list with), purely so the app can function. We will not publish your notes publicly, use them in marketing, or train AI models on them without your explicit consent.
7. Premium subscriptions
- The app offers an optional premium subscription. Pricing and what's included are shown inside the app before you subscribe.
- Subscriptions are billed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Play Store), not by us. Your payment method on file with the platform is charged.
- Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal. Cancel anytime in your phone's Subscriptions settings — we have no way to cancel for you.
- Refunds are handled by Apple or Google, not us. We can sometimes help, but the final decision is theirs.
- If we materially change premium pricing or features, we'll notify you in the app at least 30 days before it takes effect, and your existing subscription will continue at the old price until the end of its current period.
8. Ads
Free users see ads delivered by Google AdMob. We don't choose individual ads. We do try to keep them unobtrusive. If you see an ad that violates Google's policies (illegal, misleading, malware), email us a screenshot and we'll report it. Premium subscribers don't see ads.
9. The app may change or go away
We may add, remove, or change features. We may discontinue the app entirely. We'll do our best to give you at least 30 days' notice if the app is going away permanently, and we'll let you export your saved data before it does.
10. Disclaimers
The app is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind. We don't promise the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available in every country. We don't promise the place data is accurate, complete, or current. Use of the app — including driving, walking, or otherwise traveling to places shown in it — is at your own risk. Always follow local laws and use common sense.
11. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, Norellix Studio is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or interruption of service, arising out of your use of the app. Our total liability to you for any claim arising from the app is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the app in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) US$50.
Some jurisdictions don't allow these limitations, so they may not fully apply to you. Nothing in these terms limits liability we can't legally limit (such as for gross negligence or willful misconduct).
12. Indemnification
You agree to reimburse us for any claims, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) that arise from your misuse of the app, your violation of these terms, or your violation of someone else's rights.
13. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. You and Norellix Studio agree to try to resolve any dispute informally first by emailing norellixstudio@swipetodiscover.com. If that doesn't work within 60 days, either side can bring the dispute in the state or federal courts located in Ocean County, New Jersey, and both sides consent to personal jurisdiction there. Where the law gives you the right to a local court or to arbitration, that right is preserved.
14. Termination
You can stop using the app at any time by deleting your account and uninstalling. We can suspend or terminate your access if you break these terms, if we're required to by law, or if continuing to provide the Services to you would be commercially unreasonable. Sections that by their nature should survive (license restrictions, disclaimers, liability limits, governing law) survive termination.
15. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. If we make a material change we'll notify you in the app at least 14 days before it takes effect. Continuing to use the app after the change means you accept the new terms; if you don't, delete your account before the effective date.
16. Apple App Store-specific terms
If you got the app from the Apple App Store, you also agree that: (a) these terms are between you and Norellix Studio, not Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the app or its content; (b) Apple has no obligation to provide support; (c) if the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you can notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any), and Apple has no further warranty obligation; (d) Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these terms and can enforce them against you.
17. Miscellaneous
These terms are the entire agreement between you and us about the app. If a court finds any part of them unenforceable, the rest still applies. If we don't enforce a right immediately, that doesn't mean we're giving it up. You can't transfer these terms to anyone else; we can transfer them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of our assets.
