Terms of Service

Please read these terms of service ("terms", "terms of service") carefully before using the Twinkle Timer mobile app and web service (the "service") which is operated by Knauken AS ("we", "us", or "our").

Age Requirements

You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Twinkle Timer service. If you are under 18, you must have your parent or legal guardian's permission to use this service. Parents and guardians are responsible for monitoring their children's use of the app and the content generated. This service is designed for parents and caregivers to use with children under their supervision.

Conditions of Use

We will provide our services to you subject to the conditions stated below. By accessing or using this app or web service, you consent to these terms and conditions. This is why we urge you to read them carefully. If you do not agree to these terms, please refrain from using the Twinkle Timer app or web service.

Communications

All communication with us is electronic. By using the app or web service, or by sending communications to us via email or through the app, you consent to receive electronic communications from us. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other forms of communication that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

AI-Generated Content

Twinkle Timer uses artificial intelligence (AI) services to generate images based on photos you provide. By using this feature, you acknowledge that:

  • Generated images are created using AI models (Google Gemini and OpenAI as fallback)
  • Results may vary and are not guaranteed to meet specific expectations
  • We are not responsible for the content of AI-generated images
  • You should review generated images before sharing them with children
  • Generated images are intended for personal, non-commercial use within the app

Prohibited Uses

You agree not to use the Twinkle Timer service for any unlawful purpose or in any way that violates these Terms. Specifically, you agree not to:

  • Upload photos containing illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable content
  • Use the service to generate images for commercial purposes without our express written permission
  • Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or extract the source code of the service
  • Circumvent any usage limits or restrictions we implement
  • Use the service in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair our servers or networks
  • Upload photos of individuals without their consent or legal authorization
  • Use the service to generate inappropriate content or content that violates others' rights

Credits and Payments

Twinkle Timer operates on a credit-based system. You purchase credits that can be used to generate AI images. Please note:

  • Credits are purchased as one-time transactions, not subscriptions
  • Credits do not expire but are non-refundable once purchased
  • Each image generation attempt consumes one credit
  • Pricing and credit costs may change at any time without prior notice

Generation Failures and Credit Usage

Image generation relies on third-party AI services (Google Gemini and OpenAI) that may occasionally experience technical issues, outages, or failures. You acknowledge and agree that:

  • Credits are consumed when an image generation attempt is initiated, regardless of whether the generation succeeds or fails
  • We are not responsible for failed generations due to third-party API errors, network issues, or other technical problems beyond our control
  • You may not receive a generated image for every credit spent, though we have implemented safeguards and error handling to minimize such occurrences
  • We do not guarantee successful image generation for every credit used
  • Credits are non-refundable, including cases where generation fails

While we have taken reasonable precautions to ensure reliable service and minimize generation failures, technical issues may occur. We continuously work to improve reliability and handle errors gracefully, but we cannot guarantee 100% success rate for AI image generation.

We are not responsible for any payments made through the mobile application or web service. Payments and transactions are processed by the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or our payment processor. We do not have control over refunds or disputes related to these transactions. Therefore, any issues or disputes involving payments must be raised directly with the platform used to make the purchase.

Our Privacy Policy governs the use of the Twinkle Timer app and web service and explains how we collect, safeguard, and disclose information that results from your use of our service. By using this app or web service, you also agree to allow us to process your data under the terms of our Privacy Policy.

Content and Usage

You retain all rights to the photos you upload to Twinkle Timer. By using the service, you grant us a limited license to process your photos solely for the purpose of generating AI images as part of the service. We do not claim ownership of your photos or generated images.

Applicable Law

By using the Twinkle Timer app or web service, you agree that the laws of Norway, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, govern these Terms of Service and any disputes that might arise between you and Knauken AS, or its partners and affiliates.

Disputes

Any dispute related in any way to your use of the Twinkle Timer app or web service, or to purchases or usage of features within the app, shall be subject to the jurisdiction and venue of the courts in Norway. By using the app or web service, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.

Account Responsibility

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this security obligation.

Limitation of Liability

The Twinkle Timer app and web service are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that the service will be error-free or uninterrupted.

Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the bottom of this page. We will notify you of material changes by posting a notice on our website or through the app. Your continued use of the service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you must stop using the service.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or if such modification is not possible, it shall be severed from these Terms. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

Termination

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your account and access to the Twinkle Timer app or web service at our sole discretion, without notice, for any reason, including but not limited to breach of these Terms of Service.
