The App is not intended for individuals under the age of 13. By using the App, you confirm that you meet this age requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement.

1.2 Account Registration

Many features are accessible without an account. However, registering an account may be required to access premium features (e.g., cloud backups, ad-free experience, additional themes).

You agree to pay all fees and authorize us or the applicable platform to charge your chosen payment method. Unless otherwise stated, fees are non-refundable except as required by law or the platform’s policies. If offered, one-time purchases (e.g., cosmetic themes) are handled as non-consumable in-app purchases per platform rules.
