Terms of Service

Last updated: August 15, 2026 · Applies to the iOS app “Aura: Try-On & Color Analysis”

These terms are an agreement between you and Nicholas Marcenelle (“Aura”, “we”, “us”) governing your use of the Aura iOS app. By downloading or using Aura, you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not use the app.

1. What Aura is

Aura analyzes a photo of your face to produce a personalized beauty profile and color analysis, renders virtual makeup try-ons, and recommends products. Analysis, try-on rendering, and recommendations are produced by an artificial-intelligence service (Google’s Gemini API) and are suggestions, not professional advice. AI output can be wrong or unflattering. Aura is not a medical, dermatological, or diagnostic tool; do not rely on it for any health decision, and patch-test cosmetics as the manufacturer directs.

Product information, prices, and availability shown in Aura come from third-party retailers and may be out of date or inaccurate. We are not the seller of any product shown and are not responsible for purchases you make elsewhere.

2. Your account

You must be at least 13 years old to use Aura. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in credentials secure and for activity under your account. Give us accurate information, and keep it current.

3. Your content and the permission you give us

You keep ownership of the photos and information you provide. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store and process that content solely to operate the features you use — generating your profile, rendering try-ons, and producing recommendations — and to share it with the service providers named in our Privacy Policy for those purposes. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account. We do not use your photos to train AI models, and we do not sell, publish, or share your photos with other users.

Upload only photos you have the right to use. Do not upload photos of other people without their permission, or content that is unlawful, infringing, or sexually explicit.

4. Subscriptions, free trial, and payment

• Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
• Where a free trial is offered, any unused portion is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
• Your subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
• You can manage or cancel your subscription in the App Store: Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
• Purchases are processed by Apple. Refunds are handled by Apple under its own policies, not by us. We do not receive or store your payment card details.

5. Acceptable use

Do not reverse-engineer, decompile, or tamper with the app; use it to build a competing service; scrape or bulk-extract its content; attempt to access another user’s data; or use it in any way that breaks the law or infringes anyone’s rights. We may suspend or terminate accounts that do.

6. Intellectual property

The app, its design, and its content (other than your own content and third-party product information) belong to us and are protected by copyright and other laws. You get a personal, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the app on Apple devices you own or control, in accordance with the App Store Terms of Service.

7. Changes and availability

We may change, suspend, or discontinue features at any time. We may change these terms; if a change is material, we will give notice in the app or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use Aura after a change takes effect means you accept the new terms.

8. Termination

You may stop using Aura at any time and delete your account from Profile → Settings → Delete Account. We may terminate or suspend your access for breach of these terms. Sections 3, 9, 10, and 11 survive termination.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Aura is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that AI-generated analysis, try-on images, or recommendations will be accurate, complete, or suitable for you.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or data. Our total liability arising out of or relating to Aura will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or US$50. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limits, in which case they apply to the fullest extent permitted.

11. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Massachusetts, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Massachusetts, unless the mandatory law of your country of residence gives you the right to bring proceedings elsewhere. Nothing here limits consumer rights you have under the mandatory law of your country.

12. Apple

These terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple has no obligation to provide support or maintenance for Aura and is not responsible for any claim relating to it. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.
