Terms of Service — Face Rater

1. The service

Face Rater ("the service", operated by Face Rater; contact: hello@facerater.io) provides:

• a free, browser-local photo analysis producing a custom 0–100 reference score, a tier label, three explained measurements, and a measurement overlay; and
• an optional paid report ($6.99, one-time) containing full measurement explanations, observations, non-medical suggestions, and seven styling concept images, delivered as a private web page and PDF tied to your account.

By using the service you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

2. Nature of the scores — read this first

• The reference score and tiers are custom photo-geometry references defined by this site, computed from a single photo. They are affected by lighting, camera angle, lens, and device.
• They are not an objective measure of attractiveness, not a percentile or ranking against any population, and not a judgment of your appearance or worth. Reference ranges are initial values pending calibration.
• The service is provided for informational and entertainment purposes.

3. No professional advice

Nothing in the service — free or paid — is medical, dermatological, psychological, or cosmetic-surgery advice, and nothing should be relied on for health or appearance-treatment decisions. Suggestions in paid reports are limited to non-medical styling and photography topics, each stated with its basis, conditions, and limits. Consult qualified professionals for any health-related question.

4. No trait inference

We do not infer or claim to infer intelligence, trustworthiness, competence, personality, age, or health from photos, and you may not use the service to make such inferences about others.

5. Acceptable use

You agree to:

• upload only photos of yourself, or photos of someone who has given you explicit permission;
• not upload a photo of anyone under 18, as set out in Photos you upload;
• not use the service to harass, demean, or rank other people, or to publish scores as judgments about others;
• not attempt to reverse-engineer, overload, or abuse the service or its payment and report-generation systems.

Photos you upload

You must be 18 or older to use Face Rater, and it is adults only: do not upload a photo of anyone under 18, including your own child. By uploading, you confirm that you have the right to use every photo and the permission of every identifiable person in it. You may not use the service to create nude, sexual, intimate or exploitative content involving anyone under 18. We do not verify age or permission, and you are responsible for the photos you upload. Content that breaks these rules is not delivered, and we may refuse service, refund or report it as required by law. To have a photo removed, email hello@facerater.io; we delete it within 24 hours of a valid request.

6. Accounts and payments

• You can buy without an account: payment creates one from the email you give Stripe. Linking Google is optional and lets you retrieve reports on other devices. After payment, the paid visual flow asks for separate consent before it uploads the photo for that report; the temporary source is deleted after the generation stage, while generated report images remain private report content. If you decline the upload, no images are made and we refund the payment manually.
• Prices are fixed server-side at checkout and charged once per report. No subscriptions, no recurring charges, no secondary paywalls inside a purchased report.
• Refunds: every purchase carries a 7-day, no-questions-asked refund window; see the refund policy.
• We may refuse or cancel orders in cases of fraud, abuse, or payment disputes, and we may suspend accounts that violate these terms.

7. Privacy and data

Data practices are described in the privacy policy, which is part of these terms. In brief: free analysis is local to your browser; paid visual reports upload the selected photo for safety review and seven-image generation, delete the temporary source after generation, and retain generated report content behind account access.

8. Intellectual property

The service's software, design, text, and report templates are owned by the operator. Your photos remain yours; we claim no rights over images you analyze. Generated reports are licensed to you for personal, non-commercial use.

9. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, or uninterrupted availability. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operator's aggregate liability for any claim arising from the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim (or $6.99 if you made no purchase). Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.

10. Changes

We may update these terms; the date above reflects the latest version. Material changes affecting paid users will be notified to the email on their accounts.

11. Governing law and disputes

Governing law and venue: the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Where mandatory consumer-protection law in your jurisdiction provides greater rights, those rights apply.
