Terms of Service

1. Description of the Service

DailyGestures is a web-based drawing practice application that provides timed drawing sessions, reference images, and a personal sketchbook. The service is offered by Max Freytag ("Operator") as an individual under German law.

2. User Accounts

You may use basic features without an account. Creating an account (via Google or email/password) unlocks syncing, statistics, and the sketchbook. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure. You may delete your account at any time via the Account page.

3. Free Service & Donations

DailyGestures is free to use. There are no paid plans or subscriptions. You may voluntarily support the project through the embedded Ko-fi donation panel; such donations are processed by Ko-fi on their own platform under their terms, are not required to use the service, and do not unlock additional features.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to: (a) use the service for any unlawful purpose, (b) attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems, (c) interfere with the service's operation, or (d) use automated means to scrape or abuse the API.

5. Intellectual Property & User Content

Your drawings belong to you. By saving drawings to the sketchbook, you grant us a limited license to store and serve them back to you. We do not claim ownership of your content.

Reference images are sourced from Unsplash under the Unsplash License. They are provided for practice purposes only and may not be redistributed.

The DailyGestures name, logo, and application code are the property of the Operator and may not be used without permission.

6. Limitation of Liability

The service is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Operator is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. This does not affect mandatory liability under German law (e.g. intent, gross negligence, injury to life/body/health, § 521 BGB).

7. Termination

You may stop using the service at any time. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. Upon termination, your right to use the service ceases and your data will be deleted per our Privacy Policy.

8. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. The European Commission provides an online dispute resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are neither obligated nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

9. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via in-app notice or email. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
