Terms of Use
1. Who we are and what you're agreeing to
PMAXX (the "app" or "service") is operated by Vasfı Cem Diren, a sole trader trading as VCD Studios ("we", "us"). Contact: cem_diren@hotmail.com.
By downloading or using the app you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the app. Because the app is distributed through the Apple App Store, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies; where these Terms give you more rights or protection, these Terms apply. Apple is not a party to these Terms, is not responsible for the app or its content, and has no obligation to provide support for it.
2. Who may use the app
You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding contract. By using the app you confirm both.
3. What the service is — and isn't
PMAXX analyses screenshots of an Instagram profile that you choose to upload and produces a score, a written analysis ("the Read"), and improvement suggestions. The analysis is generated with the help of artificial-intelligence models.
Results are opinions about presentation, not facts about you. They are automated editorial estimates; they can be incomplete, inaccurate, or blunt, and they are not professional, psychological, marketing, or financial advice. Percentages, rankings, and "estimated gains" are rubric-derived estimates, not measurements against a real population. No outcome — followers, clients, engagement, or anything else — is promised or guaranteed. You use the results at your own judgement.
We may change, add, remove, suspend, or discontinue any part of the service at any time, including retiring features and updating how scores are calculated (which may change your score). We do not promise that past results will remain available indefinitely.
4. Your uploads and your responsibilities
You confirm that every screenshot you upload shows your own profile, or a profile you are authorised to submit. You must not upload profiles of other people without their permission, profiles of anyone under 18, or any content that is unlawful, infringing, or that you have no right to share. Screenshots may incidentally show other people (for example in comments or tagged posts); you are responsible for that content and for ensuring your use of Instagram screenshots complies with Instagram's terms. You are solely responsible for everything you upload.
You keep all rights in your screenshots. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to store, process, and analyse them, and to create and store the resulting analysis, solely to provide the service to you (see the Privacy Policy for how and how long).
If you believe your profile has been uploaded by someone else without your consent, email cem_diren@hotmail.com and we will remove the associated data promptly.
5. Your indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and reasonable costs (including legal fees) arising from content you upload, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right. This does not affect any rights you have as a consumer that cannot be limited by contract.
6. Subscriptions and payment
Full results are unlocked with PMAXX Pro, an auto-renewing subscription (weekly or annual) billed through your Apple ID. Prices are shown in the app before purchase and may vary by country. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
Renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the same price and period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel in your Apple ID subscription settings at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period. Uninstalling the app does not cancel a subscription.
Refunds. Apple handles all billing and refunds under Apple's terms; we cannot issue refunds directly. Price changes are notified through Apple's process and take effect on your next renewal after notice, unless you cancel.
Scans are included in Pro and are never charged on top of the subscription, subject to the fair-use limits in section 8.
7. Referral programme and credits
The app may offer a referral option that unlocks a single scan without payment, and Studio credits. These are discretionary promotions: they have no cash value, cannot be transferred or exchanged, and may be modified or withdrawn at any time. Redemption is limited to one per new account. We may revoke unlocks or credits obtained through fraud, self-referral, automation, or other abuse.
8. Fair use and acceptable use
The analysis pipeline has real per-scan costs. We may apply reasonable fair-use limits (for example, a cap on fresh scans per day); identical re-submissions return the cached result.
You must not: probe, overload, or interfere with the service; reverse-engineer, scrape, or copy it; access it by automated means; resell or commercially exploit it; use it to harass, defame, stalk, or discriminate against anyone; or upload malicious content. We may suspend or terminate access for abuse.
9. Intellectual property
The app, its scoring rubric, archetype system, artwork, designs, and generated report formats are owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual-property law. Your own results are yours to keep and share. If you send us feedback, we may use it without obligation to you.
10. Third-party services and trademarks
The service relies on third parties: Apple (distribution and payment), RevenueCat (subscription management), Supabase (infrastructure), and Google (Gemini AI models). Their availability is outside our control.
PMAXX is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Instagram or Meta. "Instagram" is a trademark of Meta Platforms, Inc. The only input to the service is a screenshot you choose; we never log into, connect to, or scrape Instagram.
11. Disclaimer of warranties
The service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law we exclude all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and uninterrupted or error-free operation. If you are a consumer, nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights, including under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
12. Limitation of liability
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot be excluded or limited by law.
Subject to that, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill, or data, or for decisions you make in reliance on the analysis. Our total liability to you for all claims arising out of or in connection with the service in any twelve-month period is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the service in that period and (b) £50.
13. Termination
You may stop using the app at any time; deletion of your data is described in the Privacy Policy. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms or if we discontinue the service. Sections 5, 9, 11, 12, and 15 survive termination.
14. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. Material changes will be shown by the effective date above and, where practical, notified in the app. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated Terms; if you do not, stop using the app and cancel any subscription.
15. General
These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the service. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not transfer these Terms; we may transfer them to a successor of the service. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you; otherwise no third party has rights under them.
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have non-exclusive jurisdiction. If you are a consumer living elsewhere, you also benefit from any mandatory protections of the law of your country and may bring proceedings there.
