6. Your Content and Rights
Ownership
You retain ownership of the content you post (photos, captions, comments). However, by posting content to LKBK, you grant me:
A worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to:
- Display your content within the LKBK app
- Store your content on Firebase/cloud servers
- Allow other LKBK users to view, save, and interact with your public content
- Use your content to promote LKBK (with attribution) in marketing materials, app screenshots, or social media—unless you opt out by contacting me
This license ends when you delete your content or account, except for:
- Content other users have saved (which remains visible to them)
- Content needed for legal, safety, or operational purposes
- Cached or backup copies (deleted within 90 days)
Deleting content removes it from public feeds, but saved or cached versions may persist for a limited time.
Representations
By posting content, you represent that:
- You own it or have the right to share it
- It doesn’t violate anyone else’s rights
- It complies with these Terms and all applicable laws
User-Generated Content
I don’t review all content before it’s posted. Content posted by users represents their views, not mine. I’m not responsible for user-generated content, but I reserve the right to remove content that violates these Terms.
7. Content Moderation and Enforcement
Reporting
Users can report content for:
- Inappropriate or offensive material
- Spam or irrelevant content
- Harassment or bullying
- Copyright violations
- Other violations of these Terms
Abuse of the reporting system, including coordinated or malicious reporting, may itself result in account restrictions.
Automated Actions
- Posts with 3+ reports within a short time period may be temporarily hidden pending review
- Users with excessive reports over time may be restricted
My Rights
I reserve the right to:
- Remove or hide content that violates these Terms
- Suspend or terminate accounts for violations
- Make these decisions at my sole discretion
- Take action with or without notice
Appeals
If your content is removed or your account is suspended, you may contact feedback@thelkbk.com to appeal. I’ll review appeals on a case-by-case basis.

- Advanced filters
- Collections (unlimited organization)
- Full calendar history

All payments are processed by Apple. I never see or store your payment information. Apple’s payment terms apply.
Cancellation and Refunds
- You can cancel anytime through your Apple ID subscription settings

- No partial refunds for unused time
- Refund requests must be made through Apple, not through me
- Termination for violations does not entitle you to a refund, to the extent permitted by Apple’s policies
Changes to Pro
I may change Pro features or pricing with reasonable notice (at least 30 days for existing subscribers). Continued use after changes means you accept them.
9. Intellectual Property

You may not:

My total liability is limited to the amount you paid me in the 12 months before the claim (or $100 if you haven’t paid anything).

I’m not responsible for disputes between users. You release me from any claims related to disputes with other LKBK users.

- Legal or regulatory requirements
- Improvements to clarity or fairness
Notice of Changes
For material changes, I’ll:
- Update the “Last Updated” date

- Give you time to review before the changes take effect (typically 30 days)
Your Options
If you don’t agree to the updated Terms:

Continued use after changes take effect means you accept the new Terms.
17. Dispute Resolution
Informal Resolution
If you have a dispute with me, please first contact feedback@thelkbk.com and give me a chance to resolve it informally.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.
Arbitration Agreement (US Users)
For users in the United States:
Any dispute that can’t be resolved informally will be resolved through binding arbitration, not in court, except you may bring claims in small claims court if they qualify.
Arbitration rules:
- Conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA)
- AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules apply
- Arbitration takes place in California or another mutually agreed location
- Each party pays their own attorney fees unless the arbitrator decides otherwise
What you’re giving up:
- Your right to a jury trial
- Your right to participate in class actions or class arbitrations
You can opt out of arbitration: Send written notice to feedback@thelkbk.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.
International Users
If you’re outside the United States, disputes will be resolved under the laws of your jurisdiction, subject to applicable local consumer protection laws.
18. General Legal Terms
Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and me regarding LKBK.
Severability
If any part of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
No Waiver
My failure to enforce any part of these Terms doesn’t waive my right to enforce it later.
No Fiduciary Duty
Nothing in LKBK creates a fiduciary, partnership, or employment relationship between users and me.
Assignment
You can’t transfer these Terms or your account to anyone else. I may assign these Terms to another party if needed (e.g., if I sell LKBK).
Force Majeure
I’m not liable for delays or failures due to events beyond my reasonable control (natural disasters, wars, strikes, internet outages, etc.).
Independent Developer
Remember, LKBK is built and operated by me as an individual developer, not a large company. I’m doing my best to provide a great service, but I have limited resources.
19. Apple App Store Terms
Because LKBK is distributed through the Apple App Store:
- These Terms are between you and me, not Apple
- Apple has no obligation to provide support (contact me for help)
- Apple isn’t responsible for the app or content
- If these Terms conflict with Apple’s terms, Apple’s terms control
- You represent that you’re not in a country subject to US embargo or on a US prohibited parties list
