Picksie — Terms of Service

Effective date: 25 May 2026  ·  Last updated: 27 May 2026

Welcome to Picksie. These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and dOcL ("Picksie", "we", "us", or "our") governing your use of the Picksie mobile application and related services (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use Picksie.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use Picksie. By using the Service you confirm that you are 13 or older. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you confirm that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

2. What Picksie is (and isn't)

Picksie is an AI-powered companion that offers suggestions to help you make everyday choices — such as what to wear, what to eat or cook, what to buy, finding deals, or picking furniture. Picksie's suggestions are provided for guidance and entertainment. They are generated by automated AI systems and may be incomplete, inaccurate, or unsuitable for your situation.

• Picksie does not provide professional financial, legal, medical, nutritional, or safety advice. Do not rely on it as a substitute for a qualified professional.
• Prices, deals, product details, availability, and recipes are sourced from third parties and may be out of date or wrong. Always verify details (including price, ingredients, and allergens) with the merchant or source before purchasing or consuming anything.
• Final decisions are always yours. You are solely responsible for the choices you make.

3. Your account

You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity under your account. Provide accurate information when registering, and notify us promptly of any unauthorised use. You may delete your account at any time in the app (Profile → Settings → Delete account).

4. Acceptable use

You agree that you will not:

• Use Picksie to rank, rate, compare, score, or evaluate people, or to upload photos of individuals for the purpose of judging them.
• Upload or submit content that is sexually explicit, pornographic, hateful, harassing, violent, or that depicts or exploits minors.
• Upload content that is illegal, infringes someone else's rights, or that you do not have the right to share.
• Use the Service to facilitate any illegal activity or to harm, deceive, or harass others.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, decrypt, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, underlying ideas, algorithms, AI prompts, system instructions, or methods of the Service, except to the limited extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law.
• Copy, clone, mirror, frame, or create a product or service that reproduces, imitates, or is substantially similar to the Service, its features, its design, or its "look and feel".
• Scrape, harvest, crawl, index, or use bots, spiders, or other automated means to access or collect content or data from the Service, or extract its outputs to build, train, or improve any dataset, machine-learning model, or competing service.
• Circumvent, disable, or interfere with any security, authentication, rate-limiting, or usage-metering feature, or overload, probe, or disrupt the Service or the systems and networks behind it.
• Remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice in the Service.
• Resell, sublicense, rent, lease, redistribute, or commercially exploit the Service or any part of it without our prior written permission.

We use automated moderation and may refuse, remove, or block content or accounts that violate these rules.

5. Your content

You retain ownership of the photos and text you submit ("User Content"). By submitting User Content, you grant us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive licence to host, store, process, and transmit it to our service providers solely to operate and provide the Service to you (for example, to analyse a photo and return a recommendation). You represent that you have the rights necessary to submit your User Content and that it does not violate these Terms or any law.

6. Picksie Dust, subscriptions & purchases

Picksie uses an in-app currency called Picksie Dust to make picks.

• Free tier. Free users receive a daily allowance of Picksie Dust that refills on a recurring basis. Some picks cost more Dust than others.
• Dust top-ups. When your balance is empty, you may purchase a one-time Dust top-up as a consumable in-app product.
• Picksie Pro. Pro is an auto-renewing subscription offering benefits such as unlimited Dust, full searchable history, decision insights, switchable personality, persistent memory, deeper research, and badges. Pro is offered as a monthly or annual plan.

All payments are processed by the Google Play Store under its terms. Prices are shown in the app before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your Google Play account settings. Except where required by law or by Google Play's policies, payments and consumed Dust are non-refundable. We may change prices and plan features prospectively; changes will not affect a billing period you have already paid for.

7. Third-party services

Picksie relies on third-party providers (including Supabase, OpenAI, SerpAPI, and Google Play) and may surface links or results from third-party merchants and websites. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, products, prices, or practices. Your dealings with any third-party merchant are solely between you and that merchant.

8. Intellectual property

The Service and everything in it is owned by dOcL (or our licensors) and is protected by copyright, trademark, trade-secret, and other intellectual-property laws. This includes, without limitation, the Picksie name, the Picksie fairy character and mascot, "Picksie Dust", our logos, icons, illustrations, animations, sounds, the user-interface design and the overall "look and feel" (trade dress), all text and copy, the underlying software and code, and the AI prompts, system instructions, models, and methods used to generate suggestions.

Trademarks. "Picksie", the Picksie logo, and the Picksie fairy are trademarks of dOcL, whether or not registered. You may not use them without our prior written permission, and you may not use any name, mark, logo, or design that is confusingly similar to them.

Trade secrets & confidentiality. Our AI prompts, system instructions, decision logic, and the non-public methods behind the Service are our confidential and proprietary trade secrets. You must not access, extract, copy, publish, or disclose them, or use them to develop a competing or similar product.

Licence to you. We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to download and use the app for your own personal, non-commercial use, strictly in accordance with these Terms. We reserve all rights not expressly granted; no rights are granted by implication, estoppel, or otherwise. Except to the limited extent applicable law permits, you may not copy, modify, translate, adapt, distribute, publicly display, or create derivative works of the Service, and you must not build or operate any clone, imitation, or substantially similar product.

Feedback. If you send us ideas, suggestions, or feedback about the Service, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use them for any purpose without any obligation or compensation to you.

9. Termination

You may stop using Picksie and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, misuse the Service, or where required by law. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends; sections that by their nature should survive (e.g. disclaimers, limitations of liability, and dispute terms) will continue to apply.

10. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that any suggestion, price, or result will be accurate or suitable for you.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, dOcL and its providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of (or inability to use) the Service or from any decision you make based on a Picksie suggestion. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or USD $50. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless dOcL from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your User Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or any law or third-party right.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located there for any dispute not subject to mandatory local consumer-protection law.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Your continued use of Picksie after the changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
