Terms of Use

Working draft – Alpha / in development

Lumavra is currently in active development and is not yet publicly available in the Apple App Store. Some features may be available only to developers or testers. Features, technical processes and the scope of functions may change before public release.

This version describes the current state of development. Features that are planned but not yet implemented are not described as existing features.

This English version is a translation of the German original (Nutzungsbedingungen). In case of discrepancies, the German version prevails to the extent permitted by applicable law.

These Terms of Use govern the use of Lumavra. By creating a NubisMedia account or otherwise accepting these Terms of Use, you agree to them. If you use Lumavra on behalf of an organisation, you are responsible for being authorised to do so.

1. The Lumavra service

Lumavra helps you find a name and decide – for a baby, a pet, a character, a creator identity, a product or a company. A project consists of parts: your names, in several name searches if you wish, and the AI pictures for a name (profile picture, icon, character). You collect names, rate them, let an AI suggest more and, if you wish, make pictures, from your words or from a photo. Features depend on device and plan. If you wish, you invite others to rate your names (section 12).

2. Guest, account and minimum age

As a guest you use Lumavra without an account, provided that your device and its settings for children (such as Screen Time or Family Sharing) allow it. AI features require an account. You must be at least 16 years old to use a NubisMedia account.

"Sign in with Apple" creates a NubisMedia account: a shared account for the NubisMedia apps, with a separate membership for each app. You are responsible for reasonably protecting your account and device. If you suspect misuse of your account, write to us as soon as possible.

Signing out. When you sign out, your account's projects remain visible on this device, but read-only: you can look at them and export them. Editing, AI features and new projects are available again after signing in.

App lock. You can lock Lumavra on the device with a PIN of its own, with Face ID or Touch ID if you wish. It protects access and is not encryption, and it can be reset with your iPhone's passcode.

3. Plans and offers

With an account you use Lumavra on the free Basic plan or on the paid Pro and Ultra plans. Which features and limits a plan has – such as projects, archived projects, names, AI runs, pictures, AI Studio and credits – is shown in the app under "Your plan" and before every purchase. A combined offer may cover several NubisMedia apps; each app then receives its own subscription and its own credits.

The limits are enforced by the service; reaching one is not an error. If you move to a plan with lower limits, nothing is deleted: what exists stays, and only the next item over the limit is refused. An archived project is read-only until you reactivate it. This also applies to projects you bring back from a backup: if there is no room for an active project, you can bring it into the archive, as long as there is room there.

Changes to plans and limits that put you in a worse position apply to a running subscription at the earliest from its next renewal; we announce them in the app beforehand.

4. App Store subscriptions

You buy Pro and Ultra in the app as an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly. It is sold and billed by Apple through your Apple ID; Apple's terms also apply.

• Price: the price the App Store shows before purchase, including the taxes of your country.
• Renewal: The subscription renews for the same period unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before it ends.
• Cancellation: at any time in your Apple ID settings; the plan stays until the end of the paid period, after which Basic applies.
• Refunds: under Apple's rules.
• Restoring: Your purchases are linked to your Apple ID. On a new device you sign in; "Restore purchases" fetches them again from Apple if necessary.

Statutory rights you have as a consumer remain unaffected.

5. Credits

Some features cost credits, for example a picture. The app shows how many before you tap; anything that does not come about costs nothing.

• Credits from your subscription come every month with Pro or Ultra. They lapse at the end of the month and when the subscription ends.
• Bought credits (credit packs in the App Store) do not expire and are available on every plan, including Basic.
• Used first are the credits from your subscription, then bought ones.
• What for: Credits apply only in the app for which you bought them or with whose subscription you received them – even with a combined offer, each app has its own. They are not money, cannot be transferred and are not paid out.
• Restoring: Bought credits are linked to your purchases with Apple. If you sign in again after deleting your account, we check the Apple-signed transactions of your Apple ID; this way you get back a running subscription and any unused bought credits.
• Prices in credits may change for future use; the balance of bought credits is not affected.

Refunds are subject to Apple's rules; statutory rights remain unaffected.

6. Prohibited use and responsibility for content

You are responsible for the content you enter, make or use with Lumavra – descriptions, your own prompts, photos, names and pictures – and for using it lawfully. In particular, you must not use Lumavra to:

• create or distribute unlawful content or support unlawful acts;
• create, edit or distribute child sexual abuse material or other unlawful depictions of sexualised violence; sexualise children;
• recreate or expose real people without their consent, or show them deceptively realistically in situations they were not in;
• threaten, deliberately harass, insult or degrade other people, or infringe their personality rights;
• use content in breach of copyright, trade mark, name, data protection or other third-party rights;
• promote unlawful discrimination, violence or hatred against other people;
• use the feedback invitations for advertising, spam, phishing or harassment;
• circumvent limits, plans, credits, content screening or security mechanisms, access, attack or read out the app or our services by automated means, or access data of other accounts.

This list is not exhaustive. Other unlawful or contractually prohibited uses are also forbidden.

Publication and sharing. You decide yourself whether and where you use, publish or share names and pictures, and you need the necessary rights and, where applicable, consents to do so.

No general monitoring of content. Lumavra is not a public platform. Your projects are stored on your device and in your iCloud; we do not see them and do not moderate them. We check requests to the AI against a list of prohibited terms, and before every picture an AI model checks whether it asks for a picture we do not make (see Privacy Policy). These checks are automatic and can be wrong either way; a refused picture costs nothing. AI providers may also refuse requests under their own rules. Where there are specific indications of misuse of our online services, we may take the measures in section 13, to the extent permitted by law.

7. What you enter, photos and confirming faces

Descriptions, your own prompts and photos go to AI providers (see Privacy Policy). Do not enter anything about others that you may not pass on, and no health data or similarly sensitive information.

Use only photos you may use: yourself, your animals and things, or people who agree to it – for a child, the parents decide. If the app finds a face on a photo, it asks before sending whether you may use it. By confirming, you declare that you are entitled to do so. Your confirmation does not replace the consent of the person shown, and it is stored with the photo.

The face check is an aid, not a guarantee. It may miss faces – small, turned away, covered – or report them in pictures, on posters, dolls or screens. Your responsibility for the photo applies in both cases.

8. AI results: names and pictures

Names, photo descriptions, AI Studio proposals and pictures are generated by AI systems; cropping, masking and blurring are tools on the device. They may be unsuitable or incorrect, already taken or protected, mean something unintended in a language, or resemble existing works, trade marks or people. A picture from a photo does not necessarily show a recognisable or accurate depiction. Lumavra does not check whether a name or picture is legally available to you.

Lumavra is designed to be used with human oversight. What you choose and what you use it for is your decision. Check a name or picture yourself before you register, publish or use it commercially.

9. Backup, export and bringing projects back

Lumavra synchronises your projects between your devices through your own iCloud – with an account and as a guest – as long as you do not turn off iCloud for Lumavra. Each project can also be exported as a .lumavra file, on every plan and also as a guest.

With every account, Lumavra also backs up your projects automatically into one folder of your choice – OneDrive, Google Drive or a folder in the Files app – when the app goes into the background or you tap "Back up now":

• If the folder is only on the iPhone, that is not a backup, and the app tells you so.
• If a backup fails, the app shows it.
• The files are stored with the chosen provider, under its terms, and are currently not encrypted.
• When a plan or an account ends, nothing in the backup is deleted.

The file of a deleted project stays in the backup in the folder Deleted. From your backups – including folders of earlier accounts – you can bring projects back in the app; they come back as new projects, within the limits of your plan (section 3).

Lumavra is not a backup service. You are responsible for appropriate backups of important content.

10. Your content and pictures

Your projects, names, photos and pictures remain yours. You grant us only what operation requires: processing them so that the features you choose work.

Lumavra does not claim any ownership, copyright or exclusive rights of use in your inputs and results. To the extent rights arise and belong to you under applicable law, they remain with you; whether a result is protected depends on the applicable law. Third-party rights – copyright, trade mark, personality or data protection rights – remain; you are responsible for the rights you need for use, sharing or publication.

We ourselves do not use your photos, pictures or inputs for advertising, do not sell them and do not use them to train general AI models. Processing by external AI providers is subject to the terms described in the Privacy Policy.

11. Leaving Lumavra or deleting your account

In the app you can leave Lumavra or delete your NubisMedia account for all apps. Your account data and everything our servers hold about your projects are then deleted.

Your projects stay with you: Beforehand, the app places a copy of each project on the iPhone ("Vor dem Löschen"), and afterwards you continue to use them as a guest, on the device and in your iCloud. Anything beyond the guest limits can be viewed but no longer changed. Exports and backups in your own storage remain there.

A running subscription does not end as a result; you can only cancel it with Apple. Deletion does not automatically give rise to a refund; statutory rights and Apple's rules remain unaffected. If you sign in again with the same Apple ID, you get back a running subscription and bought credits on the basis of the Apple-signed purchase data (section 5), and automatic backup finds your previous folder again. Details are in the Privacy Policy.

12. Feedback on Names

Lumavra helps you discover creative names and find the perfect fit for your ideas. Whether you're naming your baby, pet, social media channel, startup, or book club, sometimes it's helpful to hear what others think about your favorite names.

Get feedback from friends, family, or other people you know and whose opinions matter to you. Invite them to rate your selected names. Their different perspectives can spark conversations, inspire new ideas, and perhaps even help you discover a new favorite.

With a free Basic account or a higher-tier plan, you can invite up to five people per feedback round. Invitees don't need their own Lumavra account.

Participants can rate names using the options available in the app, such as "Yes", "No", or "Maybe". Written comments and messages are not supported within the feedback feature.

When you invite others:

• Only invite people who are at least 16 years old and whom you are permitted to contact. Unwanted advertising, spam, and mass invitations are not allowed.
• Only share names that you are allowed to show to the people you invite. The selected names are stored on our servers to enable the shared rating process. For more information, please see our Privacy Policy.
• You can see each participant's ratings under the name you assigned to them. Participants are informed about this before submitting their ratings. Please respect their opinions and privacy.
• You decide how long the feedback round stays open. You can withdraw invitations, remove participants, or end the feedback round at any time.

When you're invited:

• Participation is entirely voluntary. You can accept an invitation or simply ignore it.
• You don't need a Lumavra account to participate.
• The person who invited you can see your ratings and associate them with the name they assigned to you. You'll be informed about this before participating.
• You can stop participating at any time. Your access also ends when the invitation expires or the person who invited you closes the feedback round.

The feedback feature must not be used for spam, harassment, or other abusive purposes. In cases of misuse, we may take action in accordance with Section 13.

13. Restrictions and Account Suspension

We want Lumavra to be safe and reliable for everyone. That's why we may temporarily restrict or suspend your account or certain online features when necessary to protect our users, their accounts, or our systems.

This may happen, for example, if your account is accessed without authorization, features are misused, usage limits or security measures are bypassed, or applicable laws are violated.

Whenever possible, we'll inform or warn you beforehand. In cases of serious or repeated violations, we may terminate your account and our agreement with you for good cause. If there is an immediate security risk or serious misuse, we may need to take action without prior notice. Your statutory rights remain unaffected.

Projects already stored on your device will remain accessible for viewing. You can also continue using Lumavra as a guest. Please note that suspending your account does not automatically cancel an existing App Store subscription.

If you believe your account has been restricted or suspended by mistake, please contact us at support@lumavra.com. We'll review our decision.

14. Third-party services

Features may depend on Apple, Google, Microsoft, AI providers or other cloud, software and operating-system providers. We do not control their continued availability or changes. Where reasonably possible, we adapt Lumavra; we cannot guarantee that dependent features – such as a particular AI model – will remain permanently available unchanged.

15. Availability and changes

We strive for reliable and secure operation. Software may contain errors and services may fail; AI features depend on external providers. We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation or error-free functioning on every device. We may update Lumavra, fix errors and further develop or change features. Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.

Without the internet, Lumavra starts with what was last known: you see your projects and can export them. Online features – signing in, AI, purchases and creating or changing projects with an account – need a connection. Without a connection your plan applies as the device last knew it, for 30 days at most; after that the limits of Basic apply until the app can read the plan again. Nothing is deleted in the process.

16. Liability

We are liable without limitation to the extent required by law, in particular for intent, gross negligence and damage resulting from injury to life, body or health. In the case of simple negligence, we are liable for breaches of essential contractual obligations, the fulfilment of which makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance you may regularly rely; liability is then limited to foreseeable damage typical for the contract. Otherwise, liability for simple negligence is excluded to the extent permitted by law. Mandatory liability and consumer rights remain unaffected. Notices on AI results and on the face check do not restrict mandatory rights.

17. Data protection

The processing of personal data is described separately in the Lumavra Privacy Policy, in particular the account, iCloud, what the device remembers, the app lock, AI providers, the check before every picture, photos and the face check, backup, feedback invitations, account deletion and your rights.

18. Changes to these Terms of Use

We may update these Terms in the event of changes to Lumavra, services or the legal situation. If renewed acceptance is required, we ask for it in the app before the new version applies. Without acceptance you cannot continue to use your account, but you can use Lumavra as a guest. Acceptance records are stored as described in the Privacy Policy.

19. Applicable law and dispute resolution

German law applies. If you are a consumer, the mandatory protective provisions of the country in which you live remain unaffected.

We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
