Terms of Service

Effective date: May 27, 2026 · Last updated: May 27, 2026

Summary (plain English): Use DanceGecko for legal, personal, creative purposes. Don't misuse the AI to create content that harms others. Subscriptions auto-renew — cancel before the renewal date to avoid charges. We own the App; you own your content.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using the DanceGecko mobile application ("App") or visiting dancegecko.com ("Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App or Site.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and DanceGecko ("we," "us," or "our"). We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via the App or by updating the "Last updated" date. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 12 years old to use DanceGecko, consistent with the App Store age rating of 12+. Users between 12 and 17 years of age must have permission from a parent or legal guardian. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet these eligibility requirements.

If you are under 13 and located in the United States, please do not use the App without verifiable parental consent in compliance with COPPA.

3. Account and Access

DanceGecko does not require you to create a separate account. Access is provided through your Apple ID and managed via Apple's App Store infrastructure. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Apple ID and for all activity that occurs under your account.

4.2 Auto-Renewal Disclosure (Apple App Store — Required)

Important — Auto-Renewal Notice:

Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. Subscription prices may change with advance notice. You can manage and cancel subscriptions in your App Store Account Settings after purchase. No cancellation of the current subscription is allowed during the active subscription period.

4.4 Cancellation

To cancel your subscription:

  1. Open iPhone Settings → tap your name → Subscriptions
  2. Tap DanceGecko → Cancel Subscription

Alternatively, open the App Store → tap your profile icon → Subscriptions → DanceGecko → Cancel Subscription.

Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You will retain access to Pro features until the end of the paid period.

4.5 Refunds

All purchases are processed by Apple. Refund requests must be submitted directly to Apple:

  • Visit reportaproblem.apple.com
  • Or open the App Store → tap your profile icon → "Purchased" → find DanceGecko → "Report a Problem"

Apple's refund policy governs all transactions. We do not have the ability to issue refunds directly, as payment processing is handled exclusively by Apple.

4.6 Restore Purchases

If you reinstall the App or switch devices, tap "Restore Purchases" on the paywall screen to recover your active subscription. Ensure you are signed in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase. Contact hello@dancegecko.com if you experience any issues.

5. License and Intellectual Property

5.1 License to use the App

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the App on Apple-branded devices you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial purposes.

5.2 Our intellectual property

The App, its design, interface, features, software, dance templates, reference videos, and all related content are the exclusive property of DanceGecko and its licensors. Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual property rights to you beyond the limited license described above.

5.3 Your content

You retain ownership of the photos you upload and the videos generated from them. By uploading a photo, you grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free license to process that photo for the sole purpose of generating your dance video. This license terminates when your photo is deleted from our servers (within 24 hours of generation).

You are solely responsible for ensuring that you have the right to upload any photos you submit — including photos of other identifiable people. You must not upload photos of other people without their consent.

5.4 AI-Generated content ownership

Dance template reference videos and choreography patterns used in our templates are licensed for use within the App. Generated output videos belong to you. However, generated outputs may incorporate motion patterns licensed from third parties; you may use generated videos for personal, social media, and non-commercial purposes. Commercial use of generated videos (advertising, broadcasting, licensing to third parties) requires separate written permission from us.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the App to:

  • Upload photos of other people without their explicit consent.
  • Generate content depicting minors in any suggestive, sexualized, or inappropriate context.
  • Generate content intended to defame, harass, bully, or harm any individual.
  • Create deepfakes or misleading content intended to deceive others about a person's actions or statements.
  • Circumvent or attempt to circumvent subscription enforcement, generation limits, or paywalls.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the App.
  • Use automated tools, bots, or scripts to interact with the App.
  • Upload photos that violate any applicable law, including copyright law.
  • Violate any applicable local, national, or international law or regulation.

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access to the App if we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have violated these Terms.

7. AI Content and Disclaimers

DanceGecko uses AI-based video generation technology. AI-generated content is imperfect by nature. We make no warranty that any generated video will meet your expectations, accurately represent the subject of your photo, or be suitable for any particular purpose.

All videos generated by DanceGecko include a C2PA AI-content label in the file metadata, indicating they are AI-generated. You are responsible for disclosing the AI-generated nature of content when required by the platforms where you share it (e.g., TikTok, Instagram's AI content policy).

DanceGecko is not affiliated with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or any social media platform referenced in the App. Dance template names referencing artists (Michael Jackson, Bad Bunny, Karol G, BABYMONSTER, etc.) are used for descriptive purposes only. We do not claim any affiliation with or endorsement by these artists or their estates.

8. Third-Party Services

The App integrates with third-party services (fal.ai for video generation, RevenueCat for subscriptions, Supabase for data storage, Cloudflare for file delivery, PostHog for analytics). Your use of these services through the App is subject to their respective terms of service and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices of these third parties.

9. Privacy

Our collection and use of your personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the App, you consent to the practices described in our Privacy Policy.

10. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, DANCEGECKO SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE APP, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING UNDER THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless DanceGecko and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your use of the App; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any third-party rights, including any intellectual property rights; or (d) any content you upload to the App.

12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Delaware.

Before filing a formal legal proceeding, you agree to first contact us at legal@dancegecko.com to attempt to resolve the dispute informally.

13. Apple-Specific Terms

The App is available exclusively through the Apple App Store. In addition to these Terms, Apple's App Store Terms and Conditions apply to your use of the App. You acknowledge that:

  • These Terms are between you and DanceGecko, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
  • Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support services for the App.
  • In the event of any failure of the App to conform to applicable warranties, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever.
  • Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or third parties relating to the App.
  • Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

14. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to the App immediately, without prior notice, if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the App ceases immediately. Sections 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, and 14 survive termination.

15. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and DanceGecko regarding the App. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights.
