1. Who we are and what you are agreeing to
RateMyFaceAI is operated by Tim Schneider, a sole proprietor based in California, USA ("we", "us"). These terms are a contract between you and us covering your use of ratemyfaceai.app and everything on it (the "Service"). If you do not agree to them, do not use the Service.
2. Who may use the Service
The Service is for adults. By creating an account you confirm that you are at least 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect photographs of, or accounts belonging to, anyone under 18. If we learn that an account belongs to a minor, we will close it and delete its measurements.
The Service is not available in Illinois. Our measurements are a scan of face geometry, which the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act regulates, and we have chosen not to operate there. By creating an account you confirm that you are not a resident of Illinois and are not using the Service from Illinois. We block access by location, but that check is not perfect, and evading it to use the Service from Illinois breaks these terms.
3. What the Service does, and what it is not
You upload a front photograph and a side photograph, place or adjust landmark points on them, and we compute geometric ratios from those points and score them against published reference ranges.
The output is a geometric measurement, nothing more. It is not medical, dental, surgical, psychological, or diagnostic advice, and it is not a professional opinion of any kind. Do not use it to make a decision about your health, your appearance, or a medical or cosmetic procedure. Speak to a qualified professional instead. Reference ranges are drawn from published aesthetic literature and reflect one narrow set of conventions, not a fact about your worth, your health, or your attractiveness.
Your results depend entirely on where the points are placed. We propose a placement automatically, but you can move every point, and the ratios are computed from wherever they end up. A point in the wrong place produces a wrong measurement and a wrong score, and we have no way to detect that. Follow the placement guidance, check your points before reading the results, and treat any score as a measurement of the points you placed rather than a fact about your face.
4. Your account
You sign in with Google or with a one-time link sent to your email address. You are responsible for keeping that email account secure, because anyone who controls it can sign in as you. Do not share your account. Tell us promptly if you believe someone else has used it.
5. Your photos are encrypted before they reach us
Your browser encrypts photographs with a key it keeps on your device and never sends to our servers. Our servers hold ciphertext and no key, so stored server data alone cannot open a photograph. Same-origin code RateMyFaceAI delivers to your browser can use the local key through WebCrypto while it is present. We ask for no licence over your photographs and will not use them to train models, sell them, publish them, or show them to another user.
We store point coordinates, natural image dimensions, the gender and ancestry options used for scoring, and which front points you moved, so that you can return to an analysis later. Measurements and scores are computed from those inputs when the analysis loads, not stored. The inputs are a scan of your face geometry, so we ask for your consent before collection and destroy them no later than 12 months after your last visit. You can delete them sooner at any time. Our Privacy Policy and our Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy set out the detail.
6. What you may not upload or do
- Analyze a photograph of anyone other than yourself, unless that person is an adult who has given you clear permission.
- Analyze any photograph of a person under 18, in any context.
- Use the Service on sexual, violent, hateful, or unlawful content.
- Use the Service to harass, rank, rate, or demean another person.
- Scrape, resell, or redistribute our scores, reference ranges, or celebrity analyses.
- Break, overload, reverse engineer, or bypass access controls on the Service, including the controls on its paid tiers.
We may suspend or close an account that breaks these rules, without a refund.
7. Free and paid tiers
Part of the Service is free. Full results require a paid subscription, offered in two tiers billed monthly or yearly. Prices are shown before you pay and are charged in the currency displayed at checkout.
Renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period until you cancel. You may cancel at any time from your account. Cancelling stops the next renewal, and you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for.
Refunds. Payments are non-refundable except where the law requires otherwise. If you are a consumer in the UK or the EU you have a statutory right to cancel within 14 days. By starting a subscription and viewing your full results you ask us to begin immediately, and you accept that you lose that right once the results are delivered.
Payments are processed by Stripe. We never receive or store your full card number. We may change prices with at least 30 days notice, which will not affect a period you have already paid for.
8. Our content
The Service, its software, design, scoring methodology, and written analysis are ours and are protected by copyright and other laws. You get a personal, non-transferable right to use the Service, and no right to copy or reuse any part of it beyond that.
9. Availability and changes
We provide the Service "as is" and "as available". We do not promise that it will be uninterrupted or error free, or that any score is accurate, complete, or suitable for any purpose. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of it. If we discontinue a paid feature you have paid for, we will refund the unused part of your current period.
10. Limits on our liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss, nor for any loss of profit, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or 50 US dollars.
Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. If you are a consumer, you keep every statutory right that cannot be excluded.
11. Ending this agreement
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close your account if you break these terms, if the law requires it, or if we discontinue the Service. Sections 5, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, and 15 survive the end of this agreement.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to its conflict of law rules, and the state and federal courts serving Orange County, Californiahave exclusive jurisdiction. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country you live in.
13. Indemnity
If someone brings a claim against us because of what you did, you cover it. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against any claim, loss, or cost, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your use of the Service, your breach of these terms, your infringement of anyone else's rights, or your analysis of a photograph you had no right to use.
This matters most for one thing: analysing a photograph of another person without their permission. Section 6 forbids it, and if you do it anyway, the consequences are yours.
14. Arbitration and class action waiver
Read this section. It changes how disputes between us are resolved and limits your options.
Except as set out below, you and we agree to resolve any dispute arising from these terms or the Service by binding individual arbitration, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, seated in Orange County, California, in English. Arbitration is less formal than court, a neutral arbitrator decides, and the decision is final.
Class action waiver. Any dispute is brought on an individual basis only. Neither of us may bring a class, consolidated, or representative action, or participate in one, against the other. If this waiver is held unenforceable, the whole of this section 14 does not apply and the dispute goes to the courts named in section 12.
What is carved out. Either of us may bring an individual claim in small claims court. You keep every right you have as a consumer that cannot be waived by agreement. If you live in the UK, the EEA, or anywhere else where mandatory consumer arbitration is not enforceable, this section does not apply to you and section 12 governs instead.
Opting out. You may reject this section entirely by emailing support@ratemyfaceai.app within 30 days of first accepting these terms, with your account email and the words "arbitration opt-out". Opting out costs you nothing and changes nothing else about your account.
15. Severability and entire agreement
If a court finds any part of these terms unenforceable, that part is severed and the rest stays in force. These terms, together with our Privacy Policy and our Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement between us and replace anything said or written beforehand.
16. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. If a change materially reduces your rights, we will tell you by email or in the app at least 30 days before it takes effect. Using the Service after that date means you accept the new terms.
