RetroLens Terms of Use
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the RetroLens mobile application and related services (the "Services"), operated by Banana Apps LLC ("Banana Apps LLC," "we," "us," or "our"). RetroLens is a private daily camera and friends-only photo app. By using RetroLens, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use RetroLens. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you must have permission from a parent or legal guardian to use the Services.
Your account
You create or sign in to RetroLens using Sign in with Apple or Google. You agree to:
- provide accurate profile information and not impersonate anyone
- keep your sign-in credentials and device secure
- be responsible for activity under your account
- notify us if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization
We may suspend, restrict, or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, create risk for the Services or other users, or are involved in suspected abuse, fraud, or illegal activity.
License to use the Services
RetroLens is licensed, not sold, to you. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use RetroLens on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as permitted by Apple's Usage Rules and the App Store Terms of Service, for your personal, non-commercial use.
You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using RetroLens, including Apple's App Store terms, your wireless data service agreement, and any terms that apply to third-party services you choose to use with RetroLens.
The Services
RetroLens lets you:
- capture photos in the in-app camera and import photos from your device
- post daily Drops to your Circle of accepted friends
- maintain a private Roll, Keeps, and saved items
- send and accept friend requests, comment, react, block, and report
- send invites through your device's native share sheet
Your Circle is your set of accepted friends — it is not a public ranking or top-list. Today's friend posts may be locked until you post today. Your Roll and Keeps are private to you and don't change post visibility.

You retain ownership of your User Content — the photos, captions, comments, reactions, profile content, private notes, and other content you submit through RetroLens.
You grant Banana Apps LLC a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, process, display, transmit, and reproduce your User Content only as reasonably necessary to operate RetroLens, deliver content to the people you choose, maintain safety, troubleshoot bugs, and enforce these Terms.
We do not claim ownership of your User Content. We do not sell your private photos and we will not use your private posts in advertising or public marketing without your permission.
You represent and warrant that:
- you own or have the necessary rights to your User Content, including any rights of people who appear in your photos

You are solely responsible for the content you post and how you use the Services.
Subscriptions, free trials, and payments
Some features of RetroLens require a paid auto-renewable subscription ("RetroLens Pro"). RetroLens Pro is offered on a monthly or yearly basis. Current pricing, billing period, renewal terms, and any free-trial information are shown in the app and in the App Store before purchase.
If you purchase through Apple:
- payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase
- subscriptions automatically renew for the same period unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period
- your Apple Account may be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period
- you can manage and cancel subscriptions in your Apple App Store account settings (Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions)
- if a free trial or introductory offer is offered, it will automatically convert to a paid subscription unless canceled before the trial or introductory period ends
- any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription, where applicable
- trial and introductory-offer eligibility is determined by Apple and our subscription infrastructure provider, Superwall
- refunds are handled by Apple in accordance with Apple's policies
- you can restore prior purchases through the in-app "Restore Purchases" option
Access to RetroLens Pro features depends on a verified entitlement delivered through Apple and Superwall. Access to paid features may be delayed, interrupted, or temporarily unavailable if Apple, Superwall, network connectivity, or entitlement verification is unavailable, degraded, or returns an unexpected response.
Deleting the app or deleting your RetroLens account does not cancel your Apple subscription. You must cancel in your Apple App Store account settings.
We may change pricing, features, or subscription offerings at any time, to the extent permitted by law.
Privacy
Your use of RetroLens is also governed by our Privacy Policy.

Your responsibility
You are solely responsible for the content you post and for making sure you have the rights and permissions to share it, including any rights of people who appear in your photos. You are responsible for your conduct on RetroLens, your interactions with other users, and for keeping your account and device secure.
Not for emergencies
RetroLens is a private social photo app. It is not designed or intended for emergency communication, safety monitoring, time-sensitive alerts, medical use, or any situation where failure or delay could result in injury, loss, or other harm. Do not rely on RetroLens for any of these purposes.
Data loss
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for the loss, deletion, corruption, or unavailability of photos, posts, Keeps, Roll content, comments, reactions, or other content stored on your device or in our cloud infrastructure. You are responsible for keeping your own backups of any content that is important to you.
RetroLens is not a backup service. RetroLens is not intended to be your only copy, backup, or archival storage for important photos or other content. Please keep independent copies of anything you cannot afford to lose.
Beta and pre-release versions
If you participate in TestFlight, beta programs, early access, or other pre-release versions of RetroLens, you understand that those versions may contain bugs, incomplete features, instability, crashes, or data loss, and may change or be discontinued at any time without notice. Pre-release versions are provided "as is" with no warranty.
Automated systems
We may use automated systems to help operate RetroLens — for example, to surface friend activity, personalize app surfaces, detect spam or abuse, filter objectionable text in usernames, bios, or comments, improve reliability, or apply camera and photo effects. We do not use your private photos to train public AI models.
Disclaimers
RetroLens is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee that photos, posts, reminders, social features, or any other part of the Services will always be available, error-free, secure, or uninterrupted. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, availability, and accuracy.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Banana Apps LLC and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, photos, profits, revenue, goodwill, or business opportunities, arising out of or related to your use of the Services.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Services will not exceed the amount you paid us, if any, in the 12 months before the claim arose.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Banana Apps LLC and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:
- your use of the Services
- your User Content
- your violation of these Terms
- your violation of any law or third-party rights

We may modify the Services or these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice through the app, the website, or other reasonable means and update the Effective Date above. Your continued use of RetroLens after the updated Terms become effective means you agree to the updated Terms.

Social features, safety, and moderation
RetroLens includes private social features such as profiles, friend requests, comments, reactions, invites, blocking, and reporting. You understand and agree that:
We may use automated, manual, and user-report-based tools to detect, filter, restrict, or remove objectionable content, abusive behavior, spam, impersonation, or violations of these Terms. This may include filtering of usernames, bios, comments, and other text surfaces.
Moderation is not perfect. We do not guarantee that all objectionable, harmful, or violating content will be detected, prevented, or removed before another user sees it. You use the Services with that understanding.
Prior access cannot be undone. Blocking a user, unfriending, removing content, or deleting your account does not undo screenshots, screen recordings, prior views, external shares, downloads, or copies that other users may have made or saved outside RetroLens.
We may preserve, restrict, disclose, or remove content or account information when we believe in good faith it is necessary to comply with law or legal process, investigate abuse, prevent serious harm, protect users or the public, or maintain the safety, security, and integrity of the Services.
We are not obligated to monitor all user behavior or content, but we may take action when we believe it is appropriate.
