Terms of Service

1. Provider and agreement

Styvi is provided by Samuel Kubinec. Contact: privacy@styvi.cc or +421951818608. By creating an account or using Styvi, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

Styvi is currently a pre-release project operated by Samuel Kubinec as an individual. The service contact address is Bertotovce 168, Slovakia. No registered company, sole-trader details, company or tax identifier, or register entry has been supplied for Styvi. The operator's business and tax status and any legally required commercial disclosures must be completed before a commercial public launch.

Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies to the iOS app unless a different EULA is shown in the relevant storefront. Apple's purchase and subscription terms govern its store transaction; these Terms govern your relationship with the Styvi provider. Mandatory law controls over any conflicting term.

Optional usage analytics and crash diagnostics are governed by the Privacy Policy and separate choices in the app. Agreeing to these Terms or acknowledging a Privacy Policy update does not give consent to those tools. You can refuse or withdraw either choice without losing access to Styvi or purchases.

2. Eligibility and age

You must be at least 18, have legal capacity to enter this agreement, and meet any higher age or authorization rule that applies where you live. Styvi is not directed to younger children.

The current 18+ minimum applies to the whole service while Styvi includes Gemini because Google's current API terms prohibit API clients directed to or likely accessed by people under 18. A feature-only age switch is not represented as sufficient. Age, safety, messaging, visibility, purchase and recommendation protections may still vary by verified or declared age band.

A parent or guardian who believes a child is using Styvi contrary to these Terms should contact privacy@styvi.cc.

3. Your account

You can request account deletion through the in-app path after proportionate account verification. Remaining Gems (previously called Coins), AI credits, refund adjustments or an active subscription do not prevent deletion and do not require you to spend a balance or wait for a subscription to expire. The current workflow signs out sessions and schedules permanent deletion after a seven-day recovery period. If the flow is unavailable or fails, contact privacy@styvi.cc with the subject “Account deletion”. Removing the app does not delete the account, and deleting a Styvi account does not itself cancel an App Store subscription.

• Provide accurate information and keep your credentials, recovery methods and devices secure.
• Do not sell, transfer, share, automate or create accounts to evade a restriction.
• Tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access.
• You are responsible for activity you authorize, except where law provides otherwise.
• We may require proportionate verification or temporarily limit activity to protect people, purchases or the service.

4. What Styvi provides

Styvi can provide profiles; Explore, following and video feeds; posts, original sounds, comments and attachments; Notes, Moments and Snips; direct and group messages, drawings and reactions; friend, Besties and selected-audience controls; Maps and optional listening sharing; recommendations, notifications, support, beta waitlists, optional image or music AI, digital purchases, creator support and invited physical merchandise.

Features can vary by platform, device, territory, age, account standing, subscription, storage, provider availability and release stage. Beta features may be incomplete, change without notice, lose data or be withdrawn. We will not use a beta label to remove rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Styvi is currently offered as a private iOS beta. A feature described in these Terms is not a promise of availability in every country. Access may be restricted where local law, age-assurance requirements, provider availability, rights licences or necessary registrations have not been satisfied. Do not evade a territorial or eligibility restriction. These restrictions do not remove mandatory rights relating to an existing purchase or your personal data.

The countries offered in the relevant distribution channel and any feature-specific eligibility information determine where new access is offered. Availability in a store, the ability to open a website or acceptance of these Terms is not a representation that every feature is lawful or licensed in every territory. Styvi remains responsible for its own applicable obligations. Any territorial distinction must itself comply with applicable law, including rules against unjustified discrimination or geo-blocking.

5. Your content and the licence Styvi needs

You retain ownership of content you create. You grant Styvi a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free and sublicensable licence to host, store, reproduce, transcode, technically adapt, transmit, display and distribute that content only as needed to operate, secure and moderate Styvi according to your selected audience, and to make the content available inside Styvi where you chose to publish it.

The licence ends when the content is deleted from active systems, except for limited backup, legal and safety retention and copies independently created by other users. Styvi needs separate, specific permission before using your content in external paid advertising or a promotional campaign that is not simply presenting your content inside the service.

You must have the rights, permissions and lawful basis needed for the content you upload, including recognizable people, private information, music, artwork, brands and locations. A warranty from you does not eliminate Styvi's own legal duties.

This operational licence does not transfer ownership, give Styvi a right to sell your content as a separate product, grant a blanket waiver of moral or personality rights, or by itself authorize training a general-purpose AI model on your content. Any separate optional processing requires the appropriate notice, legal basis and choice described in the Privacy Policy.

Publishing a Note, Moment, video, original sound or collaborative post makes it available to the audience selected in that feature, subject to safety review and later sharing by recipients. A view-once or 24-hour label limits normal in-app access; it cannot prevent a recipient from recording a copy. If you choose a post-promotion feature, Styvi may use the selected post and campaign settings to show it more widely inside the service for the stated campaign period.

6. Community rules

You must follow the Community Guidelines. They prohibit child exploitation, non-consensual intimate content, unlawful sexual content, threats, violent extremism, hate, harassment, stalking, doxxing, encouragement of self-harm, scams, impersonation, spam, illegal trade, intellectual-property infringement and attempts to defeat safety or security controls.

Do not use fashion, body or beauty content to shame, target or encourage dangerous eating or self-harm. Do not use messages, gifts or creator tools for coercion, grooming, prohibited transactions or unsolicited abuse.

7. Reports, moderation and appeals

Styvi may use automated systems and human review to detect, label, rank, restrict, remove or investigate content and accounts. Depending on severity, context and history, actions can include a warning, reduced visibility, age restriction, feature limit, removal, temporary suspension or termination.

Uploaded videos can be checked after publication. A possible explicit-content result may temporarily hide a post while a reviewer examines the original and timestamp evidence; that signal alone does not establish a strike. Confirmed violations can lead to a recorded strike, removal or time-limited account restrictions under the applicable safety rules, with a reason notice and available appeal or correction process.

Use the in-app report and block controls where available. A notice that specific content is illegal should identify the exact content or URL, explain the legal reason, include the notifier's contact details where law permits, and include a good-faith statement. Send it to the public contact with the subject “Illegal content notice”.

Where required, Styvi will provide the affected user with a clear reason for a restriction, disclose material use of automation, and identify available redress. Appeals should explain the decision being challenged and relevant context and can be submitted through the available in-app flow or by email with the subject “Appeal”.

For non-consensual intimate images, including sexual deepfakes, the depicted person or an authorized representative can email privacy@styvi.cc with the subject “Intimate image removal”. Identify the content precisely, provide contact details, a good-faith statement that its publication was not authorized, and a physical or electronic signature. You do not need to own the copyright to request protection from intimate-image abuse. Do not send another copy of the intimate image or suspected child sexual abuse material. Where the U.S. TAKE IT DOWN Act applies, qualifying content must be removed as soon as possible and no later than 48 hours after a valid request, with reasonable efforts to identify and remove known identical copies; any shorter applicable legal deadline takes priority.

Our electronic contact for recipients and public authorities concerning the Digital Services Act is privacy@styvi.cc. We can communicate in Slovak or English. Identify the content, request or order and the legal basis; do not send passwords or recovery keys. Statutory complaints, court remedies and any legally required appeal period remain available even if a shorter in-app window has ended.

We do not guarantee that every report results in removal. We assess context, law, rights of others and freedom of expression. Repeatedly submitting manifestly unfounded reports or abusive appeals can itself be restricted after an appropriate warning.

You may report a threat, privacy violation, impersonation, doxxing or intimate-image abuse without establishing copyright ownership. Do not invent allegations or submit evidence obtained unlawfully. Styvi may take a proportionate protective step before a final rights determination when the available evidence or applicable law requires prompt action. A request for further information does not suspend a statutory deadline that continues to apply.

8. Copyright, music and other rights

Do not upload music, video, images, designs, trademarks or other material unless you created it, have a licence, or another legal exception applies. Access to a song or media catalogue through another platform does not grant synchronization, public-performance or social-video rights for Styvi.

Re-uploading someone else's videos or other content from another app or social network to Styvi without the rights holder's permission is prohibited, unless a legal exception applies. Giving credit, keeping a watermark, making minor edits or finding content publicly available does not by itself give you permission. You may publish your own content on Styvi even if you previously published it elsewhere, provided you still have the necessary rights.

Anyone, including the video's owner, who suspects that content has been re-uploaded without permission can contact Styvi support through Support & feedback in the app or email privacy@styvi.cc with the subject “Re-uploaded content”. Include the exact Styvi post or content location, a link to the original publication if available, and an explanation of the concern.

The rights holder or their authorized representative should provide evidence of ownership or authority, such as the original video file, source footage, publication history or proof of control of the original creator account. Once we verify the rights holder's ownership or authority and confirm that the Styvi upload is an unauthorized re-upload, we will remove the reported content. We may request further information where needed. Any restriction remains subject to the notice and appeal process described in these Terms and applicable law.

If a feature lets you publish your own original sound, you confirm that you have the rights needed for its publication and reuse through that feature. A Spotify or Apple Music connection, preview, track label or library-save action does not grant you or Styvi permission to attach commercial recordings to a public post. AI-generated music also remains subject to the provider's applicable terms and third-party rights; check the result before sharing it.

Rights notices can be sent to privacy@styvi.cc with the subject “Copyright notice”. Include your identity and authority, the protected work or right, the exact Styvi content location, an explanation, contact details and any declaration required by law. We may share relevant notice information with the affected user and accept a response or counter-notice where applicable.

For a notice relying on U.S. DMCA section 512, include the rightsholder's or authorized agent's physical or electronic signature, identify the copyrighted work and the material to locate, provide contact details, state your good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized by the owner, agent or law, and state that the information is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act. An ordinary report from another person remains useful, but is not automatically a statutory DMCA notice. This support address is not represented as a registered U.S. designated agent unless a current registration is separately published.

Styvi respects lawful quotation, criticism, review, caricature, parody and pastiche where applicable. Repeat infringement can result in restrictions or termination. If Styvi becomes subject to additional copyright-platform or U.S. safe-harbour duties, the required registered contacts and processes must be separately maintained; this paragraph does not pretend to create them.

A catalogue entry, preview, song title, album cover or lyrics search result is not a licence to reproduce, synchronize, distribute or publicly perform the underlying music, recording, artwork or lyrics. Styvi has not obtained blanket licences for a commercial-music library. Only use music and lyrics for which the intended use is authorized; provider playback and preview restrictions also apply. AI generation does not guarantee that a result is original, protectable or free of third-party rights.

Applicable copyright exceptions remain available, including the uses permitted by sections 37–57 of the Slovak Copyright Act where their conditions are met. When copyright-platform complaint rules require it, a removal dispute must receive an effective, prompt complaint process with human review rather than a final decision based only on automation. A licence requirement must not be used to suppress a lawful exception, public-domain work or use already authorized by the rightsholder.

9. Messages, Snips, privacy and location

Audience controls and disappearing or time-limited behavior describe intended delivery, not a guarantee of secrecy. Recipients can screenshot, record, copy, save or re-share content. Do not share something you cannot safely lose control of.

Location sharing must be voluntary and used only for legitimate coordination. Never use it to stalk, monitor or endanger someone. Stop sharing when it is no longer needed and contact emergency services, not Styvi, for an urgent threat.

Opt-in live friend-location payloads are designed to be encrypted for the intended participants. Message protection depends on the message format and client version: supported encrypted messages and attachments are encrypted on the sending device, while legacy or unsupported content can remain readable by Styvi's systems. Do not assume that an entire conversation, every shared object, backups, metadata or the whole service is end-to-end encrypted.

Automated safety systems and authorized reviewers may process readable communications, participant-submitted reports and related metadata where necessary to deliver the feature, investigate a report, enforce rules, protect users or comply with law. This does not mean Styvi can decrypt content protected only by participants' private keys. Choosing the AI Editor separately sends the selected unsent draft for online processing, as explained in the Privacy Policy.

If you connect Spotify or enable Apple Music listening in Maps, you control whether supported listening activity is shared with eligible friends. Disconnect or turn sharing off when you no longer want new activity synchronized. Provider accounts, music catalogues and saved-library actions remain subject to the provider's own terms.

10. AI features

AI output is creative assistance and can be wrong, biased, incomplete or offensive. Review it before use. Do not rely on Styvi for medical, legal, financial, emergency, employment, housing, credit or another professional or high-impact decision.

You must have rights to inputs and must not submit confidential or unlawfully obtained personal information. Styvi may reject prompts, filter results, return reserved credits or limit AI access for safety, provider, legal or technical reasons.

The production Gemini project is configured as a Paid Service. This configuration must remain associated with an active Cloud Billing account for users in the EEA, Switzerland or the United Kingdom.

Online Gemini features are available only where Styvi's provider terms, billing configuration, territory and age controls permit them. On-device Apple processing may be used as a separate feature and can have different requirements.

Music Studio can generate a requested clip or song and cover art using Google's AI services when available. A membership, a daily or monthly allowance, a quoted AI-credit cost and an explicit Google-processing choice can apply. The price, format, limits and any credit settlement shown in the feature control the particular request; a failed or rejected generation does not guarantee the same output on retry. Do not use AI music to imitate a real artist or to infringe anyone's rights.

The AI Editor is optional and uses a separate permission to send only the draft you select, the requested operation, style, language and any writing instructions to Google Gemini. It does not send your conversation history automatically or send a suggestion to another person automatically. Writing-style memory is a separate optional choice and can be disabled and deleted in AI Editor usage settings.

Disclose AI-generated or materially AI-manipulated images, video or audio when required by law and use the available disclosure controls accurately. Do not remove provenance information to deceive people, impersonate a real person, fabricate an endorsement, or create non-consensual sexual material. A missing AI label does not establish authenticity, and Styvi's labels and metadata checks are not a guarantee of detection.

11. GIFs, maps and external services

External websites, GIPHY, maps and other services apply their own terms and privacy policies. Do not remove required attribution or use third-party material beyond the permissions granted by that provider and applicable law.

Spotify and Apple Music may require a separate connection or device permission for listening history, previews or a library-save action. Styvi cannot guarantee that a track is available in your provider account, storefront or territory. Disconnecting a provider does not itself cancel a paid music subscription with that provider.

12. Purchases, subscriptions and gifts

Optional digital purchases in the iOS app are processed by Apple In-App Purchase where required. The App Store purchase sheet controls the final localized product, price, tax, billing period, trial or introductory offer and confirmation. Store and mandatory consumer rules govern cancellation and refunds.

• Gems are the in-app virtual items previously called Coins; the name change preserves balances one for one. Ordinary Gems and one-time AI credits are not legal tender or investments, cannot be sold or withdrawn for cash, and can be used or gifted only through supported Styvi features. A separately enabled Creator Support earnings ledger is governed by its own eligibility and payout terms. Mandatory refund and consumer rights still apply; consumed items are generally not restorable.
• Auto-renewable Styvi Membership subscriptions, and any legacy subscription still active in your Apple account, continue until cancelled through Apple. Manage them in the App Store account that purchased them. Deleting Styvi does not cancel store billing. The benefit list and current price shown before purchase control the selected tier; individual AI or music features can also have use limits.
• If a purchase is refunded or revoked after a balance was used, Styvi may reconcile the related entitlement without limiting mandatory rights.
• Storage plans do not override content, safety, legal or account restrictions. Downgrade and over-quota behavior must be shown before it materially affects stored content.
• Ordinary friend gifts of coins or AI credits are digital interactions, not cash, investments or wagers. A released Creator Support program can separately convert eligible purchased-coin support into a creator earnings ledger after a hold, platform fee and any reversals. A creator must accept the current separate program terms and meet payout eligibility; received friend-gift coins are not automatically payout-eligible.
• Invited physical merchandise is a separate item request with a selected product, size or colour and delivery details. Availability, eligible countries, delivery steps, cancellation and any payment terms shown in that flow apply to the request. Do not assume a requested item has shipped until its order status confirms that; Styvi may need complete contact and delivery information before dispatch.

Where law requires separate consent to immediate digital supply and acknowledgement concerning a withdrawal right, it must be collected in the purchase flow; acceptance of these general Terms alone does not replace that step.

13. Service changes and consumer rights

Styvi may update features for security, law, technical compatibility, provider changes, capacity or product improvement. For a continuously supplied digital service, material changes must have a valid reason, be communicated clearly and preserve any termination or remedy rights required by law.

Nothing in these Terms excludes statutory conformity rights, security-update rights, repair or re-performance, price reduction, termination, refund, access to qualifying user-created content, or another mandatory consumer remedy.

Where the applicable rules for a continuously supplied digital service permit a change beyond what is necessary to maintain conformity, the change must have a valid contractual reason, be made without additional cost and be clearly explained. If it negatively affects access or use beyond a minor impact, the required advance notice must be provided on a durable medium and explain the change, timing and available rights. Where those rules apply, the consumer may terminate free of charge within 30 days of receiving that information or of the change, whichever is later, unless the service can be kept without the change, without extra cost and in conformity. General beta wording does not remove these protections.

14. Restriction, suspension and termination

You may stop using Styvi or delete your account. Styvi may restrict or terminate access for a rule violation, safety risk, fraud, unlawful conduct, provider or platform requirement, prolonged inactivity under a separately published policy, or material harm to users or the service.

Where appropriate and legally required, we provide notice, reasons and a way to appeal before or after action. Immediate action may be necessary for urgent safety, security, legal or child-protection reasons.

A restriction or termination does not automatically forfeit prepaid value, cancel an App Store subscription, remove an accrued refund or other statutory claim, or prevent a legally required request for personal data or qualifying user-created content. The applicable purchase, retention, safety and consumer rules determine the outcome; contact support if access to an in-app rights control is unavailable.

Terms that must logically survive—such as ownership, lawful retention, purchase reconciliation, disputes and enforcement—continue only to the extent needed and permitted by law.

15. Availability and warranties

Styvi is provided with the care and conformity required by applicable law. We do not promise uninterrupted availability, perfect moderation, preservation of every draft, accuracy of every AI or search result, or confidentiality after a recipient receives content.

Any “as available” qualification applies only to the extent lawful and does not remove guarantees or consumer rights that cannot be excluded.

16. Liability

Each party remains responsible under applicable law. To the extent permitted, Styvi is not responsible for losses that were not reasonably foreseeable when the agreement was made or that result solely from your unlawful misuse, an external merchant, or an event outside reasonable control.

No limitation applies to fraud, intentional misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence, a data-protection liability that cannot be limited, or mandatory consumer rights. We do not impose a fixed global liability cap that would override a consumer's non-waivable remedies.

If you use Styvi for a business purpose, any additional business liability allocation must be agreed separately and cannot be inferred from consumer-facing wording.

These Terms do not require a consumer to reimburse Styvi for every third-party claim merely because it concerns their account, and do not release Styvi from responsibility for its own unlawful conduct. A person's liability for an established breach is determined under applicable law, including causation, available defences and non-waivable protections.

17. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by Slovak law. If you are a consumer, this choice does not deprive you of mandatory protections available under the law of your habitual residence, and it does not force you to use only Slovak courts where consumer-jurisdiction rules provide another forum.

First contact privacy@styvi.cc with the subject “Consumer complaint” and enough information to investigate. A Slovak consumer may use an applicable alternative dispute-resolution entity after first seeking redress from the trader. The former EU Online Dispute Resolution platform is not listed because it was discontinued in 2025.

Contacting support is an invitation to resolve a problem, not a mandatory waiting period before exercising a legal right. These Terms do not impose compulsory arbitration, a class-action waiver, a contractual time limit shortening a statutory claim, or an exclusive Slovak forum where mandatory law permits another forum. You may complain to a competent regulator or use an available court or statutory dispute process.

Mandatory protections of your country or region prevail over inconsistent wording, including applicable Australian or New Zealand consumer guarantees, Brazilian consumer protections and Québec consumer or language requirements. No English-language preference in these Terms waives a legally required French or other local-language version. This clause does not represent that the translations, registrations or operational processes required for a particular market are already in place.

If a provision cannot lawfully be enforced, it applies only to the lawful extent or is omitted where required; the remaining terms continue only where the law permits the agreement to continue. We do not rewrite an unfair term to preserve an unlawful advantage. A delay in enforcing a right is not a waiver unless applicable law or a valid express agreement makes it one.

18. Changes, notices and contact

We may update these Terms for legal, safety, technical or product reasons. We show a new version and effective date and provide additional advance notice where required. For a material Terms or Privacy update, the iOS app presents the current documents to a signed-in user. The user can expressly accept or choose a seven-day review deferral twice for that version; after the second period the app offers acceptance or the account-deletion path. A deferral is not acceptance, and continued use counts as acceptance only where law permits. Earlier accepted versions and choice times are recorded.

Questions and legal notices can be sent to privacy@styvi.cc. For urgent danger, contact local emergency services. Styvi is not an emergency service.
