This End-User License Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal contract between you ("you" or "User") and Dong Law Group, LLC ("Licensor," "we," "our," or "us"), governing your use of the DateVet iOS and Android application and any related services (collectively, the "App").
Licensor's contact: privacy@donglawgroup.com.
The App is licensed, not sold. Licensor is:

Apple Inc. ("Apple") is not a party to this Agreement. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. Apple is, however, a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement and may enforce its terms against you (see Section 12).
Licensor grants you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the App on any Apple- or Google-branded device that you own or control, in accordance with the usage rules set forth in the Apple App Store Terms of Service and Google Play Terms of Service (as applicable), solely for your personal, non-commercial use.
You may not:
DateVet is not offered to, and is not licensed for use by, residents of or individuals physically located in the following jurisdictions (each a "Restricted Jurisdiction"):
If you are a resident of or physically located in a Restricted Jurisdiction, you are not granted a license under this Agreement and must not download, install, or use the App. The App enforces these restrictions by IP-based geolocation and (where device permission is granted) by coarse device location. Attempting to bypass these restrictions — including by VPN, proxy, location spoofing, or falsifying account information — is a material breach of this Agreement and terminates your license immediately.
Separately, Section 5.1 imposes an additional consent requirement for images depicting, or submissions made by users located in, Illinois, Texas, or Washington — reflecting those states' biometric-privacy statutes. That requirement applies in addition to the territorial restrictions in this Section 3.
Licensor reserves the right to expand, narrow, or otherwise modify the list of Restricted Jurisdictions at any time.
DateVet helps you evaluate photos — typically someone else's dating-app profile picture — for signs the photo is fake, AI-generated, or stolen from elsewhere on the web. The App returns a verdict based on the combined output of four third-party AI and image-analysis services (Google Cloud Vision, SerpAPI / Google Lens, Sightengine, and Google Gemini) together with a rule-based synthesis layer.
Important: DateVet does NOT perform facial recognition. The App does not create, collect, store, capture, or transmit biometric identifiers or biometric templates as those terms are defined under BIPA (740 ILCS 14/), the Texas Capture or Use of Biometric Identifier Act (CUBI, Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 503.001), the Washington Biometric Privacy Act, GDPR Article 9, or similar laws. The App does not identify real individuals by face.
The App's output is:
Known limitations. The App infers its verdict from indexed web content and AI model output, both of which are incomplete. A "fake" verdict tied to a public-figure or social-media match does not prove the person you are communicating with is fraudulently using someone else's photos — the subject may be a genuine public figure or social-media creator who is using the App legitimately. Conversely, a "legit" verdict does not prove the photo is authentic; it means the App's scanners found no indexed evidence of fraud at scan time. Always verify important claims by independent means (for example, a video call or a freshly-taken photo in a specific pose) before making decisions that affect safety, relationships, or finances. A confidence score at or below 65% carries additional uncertainty and should be treated as tentative.
You must exercise your own judgment before acting on any scan result. You should never share scan results, or information about an identified person, with third parties in a way that could harass, defame, stalk, or discriminate against that person.
You agree not to use the App:
In addition to the general obligation in this Section 5 not to upload images you do not have the lawful right to analyze, you must not submit a photo of any identifiable individual to the App for analysis without that individual's express prior permission if either (a) you are physically located in, or (b) the person depicted in the photo is a resident of or physically located in, the State of Illinois, the State of Texas, or the State of Washington.
This requirement reflects the heightened biometric-privacy frameworks in those three states: the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA, 740 ILCS 14/), the Texas Capture or Use of Biometric Identifier Act (CUBI, Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 503.001), and the Washington Biometric Privacy Act (RCW 19.375). As stated in Section 4, DateVet does not itself create biometric identifiers or biometric templates. Nevertheless, these state statutes may, depending on the facts and on how each statute is interpreted, apply to the handling of identifiable images of individuals located in those states. You are solely responsible for obtaining any permission required under those laws and for your own compliance with them. This obligation is in addition to, and does not replace, the territorial restrictions in Section 3 (which block all use of the App from Illinois).
The territorial restrictions in Section 3 and the consent requirement in Section 5.1 are imposed in an abundance of caution. They are not, and shall not be construed as, admissions that the App collects biometric identifiers, engages in biometric-identification or biometric-information processing governed by any statute, or otherwise creates liability under the law of any jurisdiction. Licensor expressly reserves all arguments and defenses regarding the interpretation, scope, and applicability of any biometric-privacy, data-protection, or consumer-protection statute to the App.
As stated in Section 4, DateVet does not perform facial recognition and does not create, collect, store, or transmit biometric identifiers or biometric templates. Uploaded image bytes are deleted from DateVet's storage as soon as the scan Cloud Function finishes (typically within seconds of upload). Only the textual output of the scan — the verdict, a short explanation, confidence score, and any matching URLs returned by the third-party scanners — is retained in the user's private account so the user can revisit their own scan history, and it is deleted upon account deletion. No biometric data is extracted, derived, or retained at any stage. The App's architecture deliberately avoids the conduct regulated by BIPA (740 ILCS 14/), Texas CUBI (Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 503.001), the Washington Biometric Privacy Act (RCW 19.375), GDPR Article 9, and comparable laws.
The restrictions in Sections 3 and 5.1 nonetheless operate because reasonable minds may differ on the outer edges of those statutes, and Licensor would rather forgo potentially regulated conduct and limit the App's availability than invite disputes over the interpretation of evolving biometric-privacy law.
Violation of this section may result in immediate termination of your license, forfeiture of any unused credits or subscription balance, and, where appropriate, referral to law enforcement.
In-app purchases, subscriptions, and one-time credit packs are processed by Apple or Google. Licensor receives only a receipt / entitlement confirmation from RevenueCat; Licensor does not receive or store your payment instrument.
Subscription auto-renewal. Subscriptions auto-renew at the price shown in the App unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the then-current period. You may manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple ID account settings (for iOS) or Google Play account settings (for Android).
Free credits. Any free credits provided (for example, a new-user welcome balance) have no cash value, are non-transferable, and may be revoked at any time.
Refunds. Refund requests for App Store purchases are handled by Apple under Apple's Refund Policy; for Play Store purchases, by Google. Licensor does not directly refund in-app purchases.
The App, including all content, software, graphics, trademarks, and service marks, is owned by or licensed to Licensor and is protected by U.S. and international intellectual-property laws. Nothing in this Agreement transfers any ownership right to you.
You retain ownership of the photos you upload. You grant Licensor a limited, worldwide, royalty-free license to process each uploaded image solely as necessary to deliver the scan you requested (including transmitting it to Google Cloud Vision, SerpAPI, Sightengine, and Google Gemini for analysis). This license terminates as soon as the scan completes; Licensor deletes the uploaded image from its storage as soon as the scan Cloud Function finishes (typically within seconds).
Your use of the App is subject to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference: /privacy.
You represent and warrant that (a) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist-supporting" country, and (b) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
The App is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Licensor disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and accuracy. Licensor does not warrant that the App will be error-free, uninterrupted, or free of harmful components, or that any scan result is accurate, complete, or current.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Licensor shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, use, or goodwill, arising out of or related to this Agreement or your use of the App, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or other legal theory, even if Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Licensor's aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or related to this Agreement shall not exceed the greater of (a) USD $50 or (b) the amounts you paid Licensor in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages; in those jurisdictions, Licensor's liability is limited to the minimum extent permitted by law.
You acknowledge and agree that the following apply to your use of the App on an Apple device:
Licensor may suspend or terminate your license at any time, with or without notice, if you breach this Agreement or violate any applicable law. Upon termination, you must cease all use of the App and delete it from your devices. Sections 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 15 survive termination.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Any dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement or the App will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there. If any portion of this Section is held unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement remains in effect.
Licensor may update this Agreement from time to time. Material changes will be announced in the App. Continued use of the App after the effective date of a change constitutes acceptance of the updated Agreement. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the current version.
