Terms of Use

Effective May 17, 2026 — updated July 3, 2026

The French version is the authoritative legal version. This English translation is provided for convenience only.

1. Purpose

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern access to and use of the INK3D mobile application (the "Application"), published by Girard R., sole proprietorship registered in the Trade Register of the canton of Fribourg under No. CHE-185.324.859, whose registered office is at Route d'Hennens 39, 1681 Billens, Switzerland (hereinafter "the Publisher" or "INK3D"). The Application allows users to visualize tattoos on a 3D avatar, interact with tattoo artists, manage projects, appointments and payments.

2. Acceptance

By creating an account or using the Application, you acknowledge having read, understood and accepted these Terms without reservation. If you do not accept these conditions, you must immediately cease using the Application.

3. Access to the service

The Application is accessible 24/7, subject to interruptions for maintenance or force majeure. INK3D does not guarantee uninterrupted availability of the service.

Use of the Application is reserved for persons aged 16 or older. Minor users must obtain parental consent.

4. Account creation

The user undertakes to provide accurate information when creating the account and to keep this information up to date. Each user is responsible for the confidentiality of their credentials.

Two types of accounts are available: "Enthusiast" (end user) and "Artist" (professional tattooist). Artist status may require additional verifications.

Artist status is additionally governed by the Artist Terms of Use, whose express acceptance is mandatory when creating an Artist account or switching to Artist status — this choice being definitive.

5. Prohibited behaviors

The user is prohibited in particular from:

  • publishing illegal, offensive, racist, hateful content or content contrary to good morals;
  • impersonating a third party or using an artist's work without authorization;
  • circumventing security mechanisms or the Terms of Use;
  • using the Application for spam, fraud or illegal activities;
  • reselling, copying or commercially exploiting the content of the Application without authorization.

6. Intellectual property

6a. User content

Content published by users (tattoo designs, photos, projects, messages) remains their exclusive property. By publishing them, the user grants INK3D a worldwide, non-exclusive, free license, during the duration of use of the Application, to host, display, transmit and adapt this content strictly within the scope necessary for the operation of the service.

The permissions system ("try-on", "in-app re-publication", "external sharing") allows each author to define the use authorized for their content by other users. Non-respect of these permissions by a third-party user may result in suspension or termination of their account, and engage their civil and criminal liability.

6b. INK3D intellectual property

The Application, its features, source code, user interface, databases, logos, trademark "INK3D", graphics, texts and any other element created by the Publisher are the exclusive property of Girard R., protected by Swiss and international laws on copyright, trademark law, sui generis database law and trade secrets.

Any reproduction, representation, modification, publication, transmission, distortion, sale, commercial exploitation or use for purposes other than personal and non-commercial is strictly prohibited without prior written authorization of the Publisher.

The user expressly undertakes not to:

  • copy, reproduce, download or store elements of the Application outside the cases authorized by it;
  • carry out any reverse engineering, decompilation or disassembly of the code;
  • extract in an automated manner (scraping, crawling) all or part of the content of the Application;
  • use automated tools (bots, AI agents, scripts) to imitate, reproduce or reuse the features or contents of INK3D;
  • commercially exploit, directly or indirectly, all or part of the content, features or data of the Application.

Any violation of this clause exposes the user to civil and criminal prosecution in accordance with articles 67 et seq. of the Federal Act on Copyright (CopA) and articles 61 et seq. of the Federal Act on the Protection of Trademarks (TmPA), and authorizes the Publisher to suspend or terminate the account immediately without notice or refund.

7. Warranty — Service "as is"

The Application is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied. The Publisher does not guarantee in particular:

  • that the Application will be uninterrupted, free of errors or bugs;
  • that the results obtained by use of the Application will be accurate, reliable or conform to the user's expectations;
  • that the contents available in the Application are free of viruses, malicious code or other harmful elements;
  • the compatibility of the Application with all devices, operating systems or configurations.

The user acknowledges using the Application at their own risk and undertakes to take all appropriate measures to protect their own data and systems.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the total and cumulative liability of the Publisher towards the user, all damages combined (direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, data loss, profit loss, damage to reputation, etc.), is capped at the higher of the two following amounts:

  • the total amount effectively paid by the user to INK3D during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the damage;
  • or one hundred (100) Swiss francs (CHF 100).

The Publisher cannot in any case be held liable for:

  • damages resulting from non-compliant use of the Application by the user or a third party;
  • damages resulting from a service interruption due to a force majeure event (cf. article 9);
  • the consequences of decisions taken by the user on the basis of information displayed in the Application (notably tattoo choices, choice of an artist, transactions between users);
  • disputes between users (artist/client) arising in the context of use of the Application — the Publisher not being a party to these contractual relationships.

This limitation does not apply in case of willful misconduct, gross negligence of the Publisher or any other situation where applicable law prohibits such a limitation.

9. Force majeure

The Publisher cannot be held liable for any delay, interruption or failure in the performance of its obligations resulting from a force majeure event, i.e. any external, unforeseeable and irresistible event, including notably:

  • failures or interruptions of third-party services used by the Application (notably Google Firebase, Stripe, RevenueCat, Internet service providers);
  • acts of public authorities, embargoes, laws or regulations;
  • natural disasters, fires, floods, earthquakes;
  • pandemics, epidemics, health crises;
  • acts of war, terrorism, riots, general strikes;
  • massive cyberattacks (DDoS, ransomware) despite the implementation of reasonable security measures.

In such a situation, the Publisher will inform users as soon as possible and will use its best efforts to restore service.

10. Indemnification

The user undertakes to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Publisher, its partners and their representatives from any claim, lawsuit, damage, loss or cost (including reasonable attorney's fees) resulting from:

  • any violation by the user of these Terms;
  • any violation by the user of the rights of a third party (notably copyrights, image rights, privacy, trademarks);
  • any content published by the user via the Application;
  • any fraudulent or abusive use of the Application by the user.

11. Reporting of illegal content

The Publisher provides users with a mechanism for reporting content deemed illegal, infringing, defamatory or contrary to these Terms, accessible:

  • via the "Report" function present in the Application on each content;
  • by email to contact@ink3d.app.

Any report must include:

  • precise identification of the disputed content (URL, post identifier, screenshot);
  • detailed reasons for the report;
  • contact details of the reporter (real identity, email, capacity to act if applicable);
  • a declaration on honor of the truthfulness of the facts stated.

The Publisher will examine the report with diligence and may, depending on the result of its analysis, remove the content, suspend the author's account, or respond negatively to the reporter. Abusive or bad-faith reports may result in the suspension of the reporter's account.

12. Payments and Premium subscriptions

12a. Deposits and balances (appointments)

Deposits paid by users to book an appointment with an artist are processed via the payment provider Stripe. INK3D acts as a technical facilitator of the transaction but is not a party to the contract between the artist and the client. The refund conditions applicable to deposits are communicated in the Application at the time of payment. In case of client cancellation, the deposit is not refunded except with the express agreement of the artist.

12b. Premium subscriptions

INK3D offers Premium subscriptions unlocking advanced features, available in monthly or annual formulas. Subscriptions are tacitly renewable at expiration until termination by the user.

12c. Subscription channel and refund policy

Premium subscriptions may be subscribed via various platforms (Apple's App Store, Google Play, ink3d.app website). The refund policy applicable depends on the subscription channel:

  • for subscriptions taken out via the App Store or Google Play, the conditions and refund deadlines of these platforms apply, and requests must be addressed directly to the platform concerned;
  • for subscriptions taken out directly via the ink3d.app website, the user has a withdrawal period of 3 calendar days for monthly subscriptions and 7 calendar days for annual subscriptions, from the date of subscription. After this period, the subscription is non-refundable.

The user expressly acknowledges that by subscribing to a Premium subscription, they immediately access the service and consent to waive any withdrawal period higher than that defined above for web subscriptions.

12d. Subscription termination

The user can terminate their Premium subscription at any time, either via the subscription platform settings (App Store / Google Play), or via their personal space on ink3d.app. Termination takes effect at the end of the current paid period, without pro-rata refund.

12e. Tariff modification

The Publisher reserves the right to modify subscription tariffs. Modifications will only apply to existing subscriptions from their next renewal and after prior notification of the user.

12f. Payment security

Payments are processed exclusively by the providers Stripe, Apple, Google and RevenueCat. INK3D does not have access to any complete banking information of users.

13. Personal data

The methods of collection and processing of personal data are described in our Privacy Policy.

14. Modification of the Terms

INK3D may modify these Terms at any time. Users will be informed of substantial modifications by notification in the Application or by email. Continued use of the Application after modification constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.

15. Termination

The user can delete their account at any time from the Application settings. INK3D reserves the right to suspend or terminate any account in case of violation of these Terms, without notice or refund.

16. Assignment

The Publisher may freely assign, transfer or sublicense all or part of its rights and obligations under these Terms, notably in the context of a business sale, merger, restructuring or change of control. The user will be informed within a reasonable period.

The user may not assign, transfer or sublicense their rights and obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of the Publisher.

17. Severability

If one or more provisions of these Terms are deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable by a competent judicial authority, the other provisions will retain their full validity and effect. The invalid provision will be replaced by a valid provision producing legal effects similar to those sought.

18. Non-waiver

The fact that the Publisher does not avail itself of a violation of these Terms by a user cannot be interpreted as a waiver to avail itself subsequently of this violation or of any subsequent violation.

19. Applicable law

These Terms are governed by Swiss law. Any dispute shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the canton of Fribourg.
