Terms of Service

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use Lore. By agreeing to these terms you confirm that you meet this requirement. Users under 18 are subject to additional restrictions described below. If you are under 13, do not use this app.

2. Prohibited Content

You may not post, share, or vote on content that is hateful, threatening, sexually explicit, or targets individuals based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected characteristic. Superlatives must be lighthearted and consensual in spirit. Content that demeans, harasses, or humiliates real people is strictly prohibited.

3. No Abusive Behavior

You agree not to harass, bully, stalk, or intimidate other users. Coordinated targeting of a single user — including mass voting, repeated reporting, or sustained negative nominations — is considered abuse and may result in immediate account suspension. Lore is a space for celebration, not cruelty.

4. User Content & License

You retain ownership of content you post. By posting content on Lore, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to display and distribute that content within the app. You represent that you have the right to post any content you submit and that it does not infringe the intellectual property or privacy rights of any third party.

5. Moderation Rights

Lore reserves the right to remove any post, award, superlative, or other content, and to suspend or permanently ban any user, for violating any provision of these Terms of Service. This includes violations of content rules, behavioral standards, age requirements, or any other term stated herein. Moderation actions may be taken at any time, with or without prior notice, based on automated signals, user reports, or manual review. Moderation decisions are final unless successfully appealed through our support process.

6. Account Termination

We may suspend or permanently terminate your account for repeated or severe violations of these terms. Upon termination, your content, votes, and awards may be removed from the platform. You may request account deletion at any time from the Settings screen, which will permanently erase your data from our systems within 30 days.

7. Recipient Consent

Any user who is the subject of a superlative award has the right to hide or remove that award from public view at any time. This right is absolute and does not require justification. Other users may not attempt to re-nominate or circumvent a user's choice to remove their award.

8. Minor Protections

Users under 18 are subject to additional restrictions including no access to public discovery, no anonymous voting, and restricted direct messaging. These protections exist to maintain a safe environment for younger users and may not be circumvented. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 in compliance with COPPA.

9. Privacy

We collect only the data necessary to operate the app. Your date of birth is used solely for age-gating features and is never shown publicly. We do not sell your personal data to third parties. All data handling complies with applicable privacy laws including GDPR and CCPA where applicable. Full details are available in our Privacy Policy.

10. In-App Purchases

Any purchases made within Lore are processed through Apple's App Store and are subject to Apple's payment terms. All sales are final unless required otherwise by applicable law. Contact support if you believe a charge was made in error.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

Lore is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. Your use of the app is at your sole risk.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Lore and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the app, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability to you for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months prior to the claim.

13. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will notify you within the app and require you to re-accept the updated terms before continuing. Continued use of Lore after re-acceptance constitutes your agreement to the revised terms.

14. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of Lore shall be resolved in the courts of Georgia.

15. Contact

For questions about these terms, account issues, or to submit an appeal, contact us through the Support section in the app's Settings screen.
