These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of DooDads ("the Service"), an iOS application provided by the operators of doodads.app ("DooDads", "we", "us", or "our"). By downloading, installing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
By accessing or using DooDads, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. Your continued use of the Service constitutes your ongoing agreement to these Terms and to any updates we publish in the future. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must stop using the Service.
DooDads is a daily photo-sharing app. Each day around lunch we deliver a whimsical 'doodad' (a small physical thing to do or photograph) via push notification. You take one photo of yourself doing it and post it to a friends-only feed. The app is designed to be playful, low-stakes, and shared only with people you've already added as friends.
The Service is provided as-is and may evolve over time. Features may be added, modified, or removed at our discretion.
DooDads is intended for users who are 13 years of age or older. By creating an account, you represent that you are at least 13 years old. We do not knowingly permit users under the age of 13 to register or use the Service. If you are under 13, you may not use DooDads.
We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If we discover that a user under 13 has created an account, we will delete that account and any associated data promptly.
If you are between the ages of 13 and the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.
You agree to use DooDads only for lawful, respectful purposes. You agree not to:
The in-app Report and Block features are tools provided to keep the Service safe; you must respect their use by other users. Reported posts may be reviewed by our team. We may remove content or suspend accounts that violate these Terms, and we may employ automated and manual review to identify and act on policy violations, including but not limited to temporary auto-hiding of reported content pending review.
DooDads is a platform for user-generated content (UGC). You are solely responsible for any photos and content you post. By posting content to DooDads, you represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to post that content and that the content does not violate these Terms or any applicable law.
Consistent with Apple App Store Review Guideline 1.2, we maintain methods to filter objectionable content. These methods include:
We reserve the right (but have no obligation) to remove any content that violates these Terms, to suspend or terminate accounts that repeatedly post violating content, and to cooperate with law enforcement or to respond to valid legal process. We are not obligated to host, display, or store any user content.
You may delete your account at any time from within the app, via Settings → Privacy → "delete my account". The deletion flow uses a typed confirmation (you type the uppercase word "DELETE") and completes in three taps or fewer. Once you confirm, deletion is immediate from your perspective: your photos, friendships, contact hashes, push tokens, and acorn ledger are removed. Image objects in our object storage are purged as a backend cleanup task that completes within thirty (30) days. There is no undo and no soft-delete tombstone — re-signing in with the same phone number creates a fresh account with no carry-over of prior data.
We may also suspend or terminate your account, with or without notice, if we determine in good faith that you have violated these Terms or applicable law. Suspended users may appeal at support@doodads.app; suspension or termination decisions are at our discretion.
You retain all rights, title, and interest in and to the photos and content you post to DooDads. We do not claim ownership of your content.
By posting content to the Service, you grant DooDads a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, and display the content solely as needed to operate the Service and to display the content to your confirmed friends within the app. This license terminates when you delete your account or remove the content, except to the extent that we have already shared the content with your friends prior to deletion (those copies remain subject to standard caching rules and are removed as part of the deletion cascade described in Section 6).
"DooDads", the DooDads logo, the app's design, and all software comprising the Service are owned by us and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use our trademarks, logos, or service marks.
If you obtained DooDads from the Apple App Store, your use of the Service is also governed by Apple's Standard End User License Agreement ("Apple's Standard EULA"), which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. To the extent of any conflict between these Terms and Apple's Standard EULA, Apple's Standard EULA controls solely with respect to the matters it addresses. You acknowledge that:
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE. YOU USE THE SERVICE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
We do not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements, that the Service will be available at any particular time or location, or that any defects in the Service will be corrected.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL DOODADS, ITS AFFILIATES, OR ITS LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF DOODADS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
To the extent that any limitation of liability is not enforceable, our aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you have paid us for the Service in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim (which, for the v1 Service, is zero) or (b) one hundred US dollars (US$100).
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless DooDads, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your access to or use of the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your content; or (d) your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property right or privacy right.
Governed by the laws of the State of Utah, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Utah, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
We may update these Terms from time to time. The Last Modified date at the top of this page reflects the most recent change. Material changes will be communicated in-app or via the email address (if any) associated with your account. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of an updated version constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
Before filing a claim against DooDads, you agree to attempt to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at support@doodads.app with a written description of the dispute, the relief you seek, and the contact information you would like us to use to respond. We will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute through informal negotiation within sixty (60) days of receiving your notice. If the dispute is not resolved within that period, either party may pursue formal proceedings, subject to the governing-law and venue provisions of Section 12.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you and DooDads agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved on an individual basis only. You waive any right to participate in a class action, collective action, or representative action against DooDads.
You and DooDads acknowledge that, to the extent that DooDads is downloaded from the Apple App Store on an Apple-branded device:
We welcome feedback. If you submit ideas, suggestions, or other feedback about the Service, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, and incorporate that feedback into the Service (or any other product) without obligation, attribution, or compensation to you. You retain no proprietary rights in feedback you voluntarily submit.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions shall 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. No waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of DooDads.
You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Any attempt to assign or transfer in violation of this section is void. We may assign these Terms freely without notice to you.
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and (where applicable) Apple's Standard EULA, constitute the entire agreement between you and DooDads regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
