1. Description of Service
LINEORA is a mobile application that converts photos into line drawings using AI image generation. Features include:
- Converting photos to multiple line-drawing styles, including coloring-book, pencil, and colorful renderings.
- A subject-only ("Just subject") mode that asks the AI to isolate the main subject and render the background as plain white.
- AI rendering — when you tap a style, your photo is uploaded over a TLS-encrypted connection directly to ZEITARC's cloud storage (Hetzner Object Storage in the European Union). A background service sends a copy to third-party AI image-generation providers for stylization and writes the generated drawing back to your cloud library, where the App fetches it for display.
- Saving generated drawings to your photo library.
- Sharing drawings via the system share sheet.
- Printing drawings as PDF coloring pages.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 16 years old to use the App.
By installing or using the App, you represent and warrant that you are at least 16 years of age (or the higher minimum age required in your country to consent to data processing) and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you allow a minor to use the App on your device, you are responsible for that use and represent that you are the minor's parent or legal guardian.
3. No Account Required
The App does not require you to create an account or sign in. On first launch our API mints a pseudonymous account for your device — a random UUID and a paired bearer token — which the App stores in the operating system's secure storage. Every request after that authenticates with the bearer token, and the server resolves your account from the token; we never ask for your name, email address, or any other personal identifier unless you volunteer one (for example, when contacting support). The free-render allotment is tracked locally on your device; the server enforces only your purchased credit balance. To move your account to a different device, mint a recovery code in Settings.
4. Privacy and Data Protection
4.1 Privacy Policy
Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle the limited personal data we process. By using the App, you consent to the practices described there.
4.2 AI Rendering and Photo Upload
Image conversion happens on a server. When you tap a style, your photo is uploaded over a TLS-encrypted connection to ZEITARC's cloud library, hosted in Hetzner Object Storage in the European Union. Our render service forwards a copy to third-party AI image-generation providers to produce the requested style, and the returned drawing is also stored in your cloud library so it appears in your gallery across devices and can be compared with the original photo within the App. We do not use your photos or generated drawings to train any model, and we contract only with providers whose API terms commit to the same. You may delete any sketch (and its stored original, when no other sketches reference it) from the in-app gallery at any time.
4.3 Analytics and Crash Reporting
We use anonymous product analytics (PostHog) and crash reporting (Sentry) to understand how features are used and to investigate defects. Neither receives photo content. See the Privacy Policy for details.
5. Your Content
5.1 Ownership
You retain all ownership rights you have in the photos you supply to the App and in the drawings the App produces from them ("Your Content"). We claim no ownership over Your Content.
5.2 Limited License to Us
You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, transmit, process, and serve Your Content for the purposes of rendering the styles you request, storing the resulting drawing and the source photo in your cloud library so it appears in your gallery across devices, and re-fetching the source photo for the in-app compare-with-original view. This license is co-extensive with the lifetime of the stored copy and terminates as soon as you delete the corresponding sketch from the in-app gallery (or we delete it as part of an account-level erasure request). We do not sell, license, use for advertising, or train any model on Your Content.
5.3 Content Responsibility
You are solely responsible for Your Content. You represent and warrant that you have all rights and permissions necessary to use Your Content with the App, and that Your Content does not violate any law or any third-party right.
5.4 Content Guidelines
You agree not to use the App to:
- process photos you do not have permission to use;
- create or distribute content that infringes any intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, or other right;
- create or distribute child sexual abuse material or any content depicting a minor in a sexualized context;
- create or distribute content intended to harass, defame, threaten, or impersonate any person;
- create or distribute obscene, hateful, or violence-inciting content; or
- create or distribute content for any other purpose unlawful in your jurisdiction.
5.5 AI-Generated Output
The App produces images using a third-party AI image-generation model accessed through ZEITARC's render proxy. Output is generated automatically based on the photo you provide; it may contain artifacts, may not be visually accurate, may interpret subjects differently across requests, and is provided "as-is". You are solely responsible for evaluating output before sharing or relying on it.
6. In-App Purchases
6.1 Free Allotment and Paid Items
The App provides a small lifetime allotment of free drawings (currently two per device) without purchase. Beyond the free allotment, the App offers credit packs, processed by the App Store on iOS or the Google Play Store on Android:
- Credit packs (consumable). Each pack adds a fixed number of drawing credits to your account on the App Store or Google Play Store, depending on the store you purchased from. Credits are consumed one per drawing, do not expire, have no cash value, and are not redeemable for cash.
6.2 No Auto-Renewing Subscriptions
The App does NOT offer auto-renewing subscriptions. You will not be charged on a recurring basis.
The price displayed at the time of purchase is the price you pay; the App Store or Google Play Store (whichever processed the purchase) handles taxes and any currency conversion.
6.3 Billing
Payment is charged to your App Store or Google Play Store account at the time of purchase, depending on the store you bought from. All billing is handled by that store; we do not see your payment method, billing address, or full account identifiers.
6.4 Refunds
Refunds are administered by Apple (for App Store purchases) under its published policies, or by Google (for Google Play Store purchases) under its published policies. We do not directly issue refunds for in-app purchases — please contact the store you purchased from.
6.5 Restoring Purchases
Credit packs are consumable and are tied to the account on the device that purchased them. To move your credit balance to another device, mint a recovery code in Settings on your existing device, then redeem it in Settings on the new device — the recovery code transfers the whole account, including remaining credits and gallery contents.
6.6 Right of Withdrawal (EU Consumers)
If you are a consumer in the European Union, you have the right to withdraw from a digital-content purchase within 14 days of the transaction without giving any reason, in accordance with the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU).
However, by initiating an in-app purchase you expressly request immediate performance and acknowledge that you lose the right of withdrawal once the digital content has been fully provided. All withdrawal and refund requests are processed through the App Store or Google Play Store (whichever processed the purchase), which handles all billing on our behalf.
6.7 Free Allotment Abuse
The number, refresh schedule, and rules for the free allotment may change over time. Bundling, abusing, or attempting to circumvent the allotment (for example by manipulating device time, repeatedly reinstalling, or using automation) is grounds for revocation of the allotment without refund.
7. Intellectual Property
The App, including its design, features, and code (excluding Your Content), is owned by ZEITARC and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from the App without our written permission, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits and prohibits this restriction.
"ZEITARC" and "LINEORA", together with associated logos, are trademarks of ZEITARC. All other trademarks, service marks, and logos used in the App are the property of their respective owners.
8. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- use the App for any illegal purpose;
- attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or another user's data;
- interfere with or disrupt the App's functionality, telemetry, security, or anti-fraud systems;
- reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to extract or derive the App's machine-learning models, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits and prohibits this restriction;
- use automated systems, bots, or scrapers to interact with the App without our permission;
- use the App to develop a competing product or to train any other machine-learning model;
- circumvent any security measure, paywall, or access control.
9. Third-Party Services
The App integrates with third-party services including the App Store and Google Play Store (purchase processing), RevenueCat (purchase validation), PostHog (anonymous analytics), Sentry (crash reporting), third-party AI image-generation providers (called by ZEITARC's render service), Hetzner Online GmbH (object storage in the European Union for your uploaded photos and generated drawings), and Google LLC's Firebase Cloud Messaging (push notifications when a render finishes). Your use of these services is subject to their respective terms and licenses. We are not responsible for the practices of independent third parties.
10. Service Availability
We strive to keep the App available and functional but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The App may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, store outages, updates, or circumstances beyond our control. We may also modify, suspend, or discontinue the App or any feature at any time, with reasonable notice where practicable.
11. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the App will produce any specific result. While we take reasonable care in developing the App and in safeguarding the cloud-stored library that backs your gallery, you are responsible for maintaining your own copies of any sketches or originals you wish to retain independently — we do not guarantee perpetual availability of the cloud library, and stored content can become unavailable if you delete a sketch, request account deletion, or the App or the underlying service is discontinued.
12. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ZEITARC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APP.
Our total aggregate liability for any claims arising from these Terms or your use of the App shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) fifty euros (EUR 50).
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by applicable law.
13. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless ZEITARC, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the App, Your Content, or your violation of these Terms or any law or third-party right.
14. Dispute Resolution
14.1 Informal Resolution
Before filing any formal proceedings, you agree to first contact us at legal.line@zeitarc.com to attempt to resolve any dispute informally. We will make good-faith efforts to resolve disputes within 30 days of receiving your notice.
14.2 Governing Law
These Terms are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Where you are a consumer within the European Union, you also enjoy the protection of the mandatory provisions of the consumer-protection laws of your country of residence.
14.3 Jurisdiction
Any disputes that cannot be resolved informally shall be submitted to the courts of competent jurisdiction in Islamabad, Pakistan. If you are a consumer in the EU, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence. Nothing in this section restricts any non-waivable right you may have under the consumer-protection law of your jurisdiction.
14.4 EU Online Dispute Resolution
The European Commission provides an online dispute-resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are not currently obliged to participate in dispute-resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board, but we will always endeavour to resolve disputes directly with you.
15. Changes to Terms
We may modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this document and surfacing the change inside the App before it takes effect.
If you do not agree with the updated Terms, you should stop using the App and uninstall it. Continued use of the App after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
16. Termination
You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or terminate your access to the App, or to any in-app feature, if (i) you breach these Terms, (ii) we are required to do so by law, by Apple, or by Google, or (iii) the App is discontinued. Sections 5, 7, 8, 11–13, and 14.2–14.3 survive termination.
17. General Provisions
17.1 Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect, and the invalid provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.
17.2 Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and the applicable App Store or Google Play Store terms (whichever you installed from), constitute the entire agreement between you and ZEITARC regarding the App, superseding any prior agreements or communications on the same subject matter.
17.3 Assignment
We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms to another entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all of our assets relating to the App, provided that the assignee agrees to be bound by these Terms. You may not assign your rights or obligations without our prior written consent; any attempted assignment in violation of this section is void.
17.4 Force Majeure
We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance due to causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, war, terrorism, pandemics, government actions, power failures, internet or platform disruptions, or acts of third parties.
17.5 No Waiver
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by us.
17.6 Notices
We may send you notices by surfacing them inside the App or by posting on our website at zeitarc.com. You may send notices to us at legal.line@zeitarc.com.
17.7 Apple as Third-Party Beneficiary
If you installed LINEORA from the App Store, you and ZEITARC acknowledge that Apple Inc. and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that, upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple shall have the right (and shall be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.
