Welcome to Recede.io ("we," "us," or "our"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of our mobile application ("App"). By accessing or using the App, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not use the App.

2. Acceptance of Terms

By using our App, you affirm that you are at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction) and capable of forming a binding contract. If you are using the App on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2.1 Age Restrictions and Parental Consent

Users under the age of 18 must have parental or guardian consent before using the App, particularly features involving facial analysis and attractiveness assessments. Parents or guardians are responsible for monitoring and supervising minors' use of the App. We recommend that users under 18 use the App with appropriate guidance and understanding that results are algorithmic estimates, not definitive assessments of personal attributes.

2.2 Responsible Use for Sensitive Features

Features such as facial attractiveness assessment are intended for entertainment purposes and should be used responsibly. Users, especially younger users, should understand that such assessments do not define personal worth or value and should not be used to make important personal decisions about appearance or self-image.

3. Description of Services

Recede.io provides hairline scanning, analysis, tracking, and prediction services to help users monitor and understand their hairline progression. Key features include:

4. Disclaimers

4.1 Medical and Health Disclaimer

The App provides hairline and facial analysis for informational and entertainment purposes only and is not intended as medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The analysis, predictions, and protocols provided by our App should not be used as a substitute for professional medical consultation. Always consult with qualified healthcare professionals, including dermatologists or medical doctors, for any health concerns or before making decisions based on the App's analysis.

4.2 AI Accuracy Disclaimer

Our AI analysis results, including hairline progression assessments, facial attractiveness ratings, face shape analysis, and ancestral estimations, are estimates based on algorithmic processing and machine learning models. These results may not be completely accurate and should not be considered definitive assessments. Accuracy may vary based on photo quality, lighting conditions, angles, and other factors. Results are provided for informational purposes and should be interpreted as approximations rather than precise measurements.

4.3 Biometric Data Notice

Our face scanning features process biometric identifiers and biometric information as defined by applicable privacy laws. By using these features, you expressly consent to the collection, processing, storage, and analysis of biometric data as described in our Privacy Policy. You have the right to refuse consent or withdraw consent at any time, though this may limit your access to certain App features.

4.4 Service Availability

While we strive to maintain continuous service availability, we do not guarantee uninterrupted access to the App or its features.
