Terms of Service
Last updated: July 6, 2026
These terms are a plain-English agreement between you and Polacard about using the app. By downloading or using Polacard, you agree to them.
The short version: Polacard is a simple, one-time-purchase app that makes keepsakes on your device. Your photos are yours. The app is provided as-is, we do our best to keep it working, and there are a few standard legal limits below.
1. The agreement
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your use of the Polacard application (the “App”). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the App. The App is distributed through the Apple App Store, and your use is also subject to Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions and the standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “Standard EULA”). Where these Terms and the Standard EULA differ, the Standard EULA governs your license to use the App, and these Terms add to it.
2. Your license to use Polacard
When you purchase the App, you receive a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use Polacard on Apple devices that you own or control, as permitted by the App Store rules. You may not copy, redistribute, sell, rent, reverse-engineer, or attempt to extract the source code or signing materials of the App, except to the limited extent the law permits regardless of this restriction.
3. Your photos and creations
Polacard works entirely on your device. The photos you select and the keepsakes (“Polacards”) and Apple Wallet passes you create are yours. We claim no ownership of them, and we never receive, upload, or store them. See our Privacy Policy for details. You are responsible for having the right to use any photo you bring into the App.
4. Acceptable use
Please use Polacard lawfully. Don't use it to create or distribute content that is illegal, infringes someone else's rights, or that you don't have permission to use. Because everything happens on your device, you are solely responsible for what you make and how you share it.
5. Apple Wallet passes
Polacard generates and signs Apple Wallet passes locally so that Apple Wallet will accept them. These passes are keepsakes: they are not tickets, payment cards, identification, or proof of anything, and carry no monetary or redeemable value. How passes appear and behave in Apple Wallet is controlled by Apple and your version of iOS, and may change over time.
6. The App is provided “as is”
We work hard to make Polacard reliable and delightful, but the App is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with every device or future version of iOS.
7. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Polacard and its developer will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, arising out of or relating to your use of the App. Because everything is stored on your device, please keep your own backups, because we cannot recover anything for you. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid for the App.
8. App Store terms (required by Apple)
These Terms include, at minimum, the terms Apple requires for apps licensed through the App Store. If any conflict exists between these Terms and Apple's Standard EULA, the Standard EULA governs to the extent of the conflict.
a. Acknowledgement
These Terms are concluded between you and Polacard's developer only, and not with Apple. The developer, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App.
b. Scope of license
The license granted to you for the App is a non-transferable license to use the App on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, and only as permitted by the Usage Rules set out in Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions.
c. Maintenance and support
The developer is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services for the App, as specified in these Terms or as required under applicable law. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services for the App.
d. Warranty
The developer is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the App to you (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App.
e. Product claims
The developer, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession and use of it, including: (i) product-liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
f. Intellectual property rights
In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, the developer, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such claim.
g. Legal compliance
You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist-supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
h. Developer contact
Questions, complaints, or claims about the App should be directed to the developer at lorenjohnp@gmail.com.
i. Third-party terms
You must comply with any applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App (for example, your wireless data-service agreement).
j. Apple as third-party beneficiary
You acknowledge and agree that Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
9. Changes to the App and these Terms
We may update the App and these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes to these Terms, we'll post the updated version here with a new date. Continuing to use the App after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
10. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of your developer's home jurisdiction, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, except where local consumer-protection law grants you additional rights that cannot be waived.
