Effective Date: 2026-03-06
Version: 1.0

Welcome to Stamp Creator: Photo Puncher (the "App"), owned and operated by Burak Alp KARA ("we," "us," or "Developer"). These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the App, including any related services, features, content, website, and software provided or made available by the Developer (collectively, the "Services"). By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

Acceptance of Terms

These Terms constitute a binding agreement between you and the Developer. You represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with the Developer and meet all eligibility requirements below.

We may modify these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted in the App and will become effective as stated. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance.

Eligibility; Children

The App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may only use the App with the consent of a parent or legal guardian.

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected such information, we will take steps to delete it.

Accounts and Registration

You may be required to create an account to access certain features. You agree to provide accurate and complete information and to keep account credentials secure.

You are responsible for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately at burakalpkara@gmail.com of any unauthorized use or security breach.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that are inactive or that we reasonably believe violate these Terms.

User Obligations and Acceptable Use

You agree to use the App and Services only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You must not:

  • Violate any local, state, national or international law or regulation.
  • Use the App to infringe the intellectual property or other rights of third parties.
  • Upload, post, transmit or make available content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, abusive, harassing, threatening, hateful, or encourages illegal activity.
  • Use automated means (bots, scrapers) to access the App without our express written permission.
  • Attempt to interfere with the operation of the App, reverse engineer the App except to the extent permitted by applicable law, or attempt to defeat any technical protection measures.
  • Bypass restrictions related to the App, including trial limitations and subscription features.

User-Generated Content (UGC)

The App allows you to import photos, create and store stylized "stamps," add captions or notes, and otherwise create content ("User Content").

Content Rules: You may not upload or create User Content that violates applicable law, infringes third-party rights, or is obscene, defamatory, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable under the Acceptable Use section above.

Ownership and License: You retain ownership of the User Content you create and upload. By uploading or creating User Content in the App you grant the Developer a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to (a) store, display, reproduce, sync via iCloud across your devices, and otherwise use and distribute that content solely as necessary to provide the Services (including backups, iCloud sync and display within the App), (b) use aggregated, non-personally-identifying data derived from your use of the App for analytics, improvement, and internal business purposes.

Moderation and Removal: We may remove or refuse to host any User Content that we reasonably believe violates these Terms or is otherwise objectionable. We do not vet or endorse User Content and are not responsible for its accuracy or legality.

Responsibility: You are solely responsible for your User Content and for any consequences of posting it. We are not responsible for loss or alteration of your User Content except as set out in our Privacy Policy or to the extent of iCloud backups you have enabled.

Photos, Device Data, and Cloud Sync

PhotosUI and Photos Access: The App can access photos or media on your device only with your permission. You control which photos you grant access to. You are responsible for the content you choose to import.

iCloud Sync: The App offers optional iCloud synchronization to keep your stamp collections updated across your Apple devices. By enabling iCloud sync, you authorize storage of your content in your iCloud account. We do not control Apple's iCloud terms, and iCloud storage limits or failures may affect sync performance.

Backups: You should keep your own backups of original media. We are not responsible for loss of data caused by device damage, iCloud failures, or other third-party services.

Intellectual Property and Trademarks

Developer IP: All app code, designs, graphics, logos, trademarks, trade names, and other intellectual property related to the App are owned by the Developer or licensed to the Developer and are protected by law. Except as expressly provided, no right, title, or interest is transferred to you.

App Name: "Stamp Creator: Photo Puncher" and "Stamp Puncher" and other names, logos and marks used in connection with the App are proprietary marks of the Developer.

Third-Party IP: The App may include or integrate third-party services and libraries (see Section 15). Your use of those services may be subject to additional terms.

AI-Generated Content and Limitations (If Applicable)

Where the App provides features that utilize AI, machine learning, or automated image processing to generate or transform content ("AI Features"), you acknowledge and agree that:

  • AI output may be imperfect, inaccurate, biased, or otherwise flawed. You are responsible for reviewing results before use.
  • The Developer is not liable for any claims arising from decisions or actions you take based on AI-generated content.
  • AI Features may rely on third-party models or services. Use of AI Features is subject to third-party terms and may involve sending data to those services. See Section 15.
  • You must not use AI Features to create or disseminate content that violates these Terms or applicable law.

Subscriptions, Billing, and Refunds

Business Model: The App uses a freemium model. Certain features are available only through in-app purchases or subscription plans ("Subscription(s)").

Payment Processing: All purchases and subscription billing are processed through Apple's App Store (StoreKit) and may be managed via a third-party service (e.g., RevenueCat). By subscribing or making an in-app purchase you authorize and agree to payment through Apple and any relevant third-party platforms. You agree to any purchase terms imposed by Apple and acknowledge that the Developer does not control Apple's billing processes.

Auto-Renewal: Subscriptions generally auto-renew unless canceled. Renewal charges are billed to your Apple account in accordance with the subscription terms you selected.

Managing and Canceling Subscriptions: You can manage or cancel subscriptions through your Apple ID account settings (Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions) or via the App Store subscription management interface. Cancellation is effective at the end of the current billing cycle; no partial refunds for unused portions of the billing cycle will be provided by the Developer unless required by law or as set out below.

Free Trials: If a free trial is offered, any unused portion of the trial period will be forfeited when you purchase a subscription; terms for trial conversion are set out in the App.

Refunds: Generally, Apple manages refund requests for App Store purchases. You can request a refund from Apple (reportaproblem.apple.com) and/or contact us at burakalpkara@gmail.com for assistance. The Developer maintains a 14-day refund policy for eligible purchases; eligibility and the method of refund may depend on whether Apple or we can process the refund. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to assist, but Apple's policies may control the final outcome.

Third-Party Services and Advertising

The App integrates third-party services, including analytics (firebase_analytics), payments (StoreKit, RevenueCat), advertising (AdMob), crash reporting (crashlytics), and Apple frameworks (PhotosUI, iCloud). Those services have their own privacy policies and terms. By using the App, you consent to data being shared with these providers as needed to provide their services.

Advertising: If ads are displayed (e.g., via AdMob), ad networks may use device identifiers and other data. You may be able to opt out of personalized advertising via iOS settings (Limit Ad Tracking) and other third-party tools. See our Privacy Policy for details.

No Endorsement: References to third-party services are for convenience only and do not constitute endorsement by the Developer.

Privacy and CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act)

Our collection and use of personal information is described in the App's Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy explains what categories of personal information we collect and how we use and share that information.

CCPA Rights (for California residents): If you are a California resident, you may have rights under the CCPA, including rights to access, delete, and obtain a copy of personal information we have collected, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information.

Upon termination, the rights granted to you under these Terms will immediately cease. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, warranty disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, dispute-related provisions, and miscellaneous terms) will survive.

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Turkey, excluding conflict-of-law rules.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved by the competent courts located in Istanbul, Turkey, unless mandatory consumer protection law in your jurisdiction provides otherwise.

Miscellaneous

Severability: If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Waiver: Failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that right or provision.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.

Changes to the Services

We may change, suspend, or discontinue any feature of the Services at any time, including introducing new features, imposing limits, or removing functionality, with or without notice where permitted by law.
