We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
4. Acceptable use and prohibited conduct
You must not use the Service to:

- reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to extract source code except where expressly allowed by mandatory law
- interfere with, disrupt, or test the vulnerability of the Service without explicit written authorization
- use bots, scripts, scraping, or abusive automation that degrades service integrity or availability
- engage in fraudulent payment behavior, chargeback abuse, or unauthorized transaction activity
- misrepresent your identity, affiliation, or authority
- upload, submit, or use any AI-generated, deepfake, synthetic, or digitally fabricated image of a person, or present any content as a real person when it is not
- upload images of, or content depicting, any person other than yourself without their consent, or use the Service to rate, mock, harass, or target a third party

5. One-time payments
Where paid features are offered, payments are one-time charges for the specific transaction identified at checkout.
You authorize us and our payment processors to charge the selected payment method for the full amount, including any applicable taxes and fees.
You are responsible for all payment method details provided and for any losses resulting from unauthorized use caused by your acts or omissions.
6. Refunds and chargebacks
Payment for an order is charged only after the ordered review or poll result has been completed and delivered. Once delivered, payments are final and non-refundable, except as set out in the Refunds & Billing Policy (non-delivery, or delivered content confirmed to break the law or the Service's rules and reported within the complaint period stated there) or where a refund is required by mandatory applicable law.
If you initiate an unjustified chargeback or payment dispute, we may suspend or terminate your access and recover associated losses, costs, and fees where legally permitted.
7. Disclaimer of warranties
The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free availability.
The Operator does not guarantee any particular outcome, rating, or level of attention, that Reviews will be favorable, accurate, or consistent with your self-perception, or that the Service will be available, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. You understand that Reviews are subjective opinions and that receiving critical feedback about your appearance or content may be emotionally challenging, and you use the Service voluntarily and entirely at your own risk.
For further detail on the nature of the Service, the limits of any advice implied by Reviews, and related matters, see the Disclaimer.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or related to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount paid by you to the Service in the three (3) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD 50, except where such limitation is prohibited by applicable mandatory law.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities.
9. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Operator and its affiliates, officers, and agents from and against all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your breach of these Terms; (b) your misuse of the Service; (c) your violation of any applicable law or of any third-party right; (d) your User Content; (e) your reliance on, or any action you take based on, any Review or other User Content; and (f) your interactions or disputes with other users, reviewers, or clients.
10. Suspension and termination
We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to the Service at any time, with immediate effect, where we reasonably believe there is a security risk, legal risk, fraud risk, abuse risk, or material breach of these Terms.
Termination or suspension does not limit any rights or remedies available to us under these Terms, at law, or in equity.
11. Third-party services
The Service may rely on or integrate third-party infrastructure, tools, and providers. We are not responsible for third-party acts, omissions, content, availability, or policies.
12. Force majeure
We are not liable for any delay, failure, or interruption caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, infrastructure failures, cyber incidents, labor disputes, governmental actions, or internet and telecommunications outages.
13. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of Georgia. Subject to Section 15 (Binding Arbitration & Class Action Waiver), you agree that any dispute not resolved through arbitration will be resolved in the competent courts of Tbilisi, Georgia, subject to any non-waivable consumer protection rules that apply in the user’s country of residence.
If mandatory consumer protection rules in your country grant you non-waivable rights, those rights remain unaffected to the extent required by law.
14. User-Generated Content
Ownership
You retain all ownership rights in your User Content. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership to the Operator.
License Granted to the Operator
By uploading, submitting, or otherwise making User Content available through the Service, you grant the Operator a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable license to host, store, reproduce, display, adapt, and distribute your User Content solely for the purposes of operating, providing, and improving the Service, and of complying with legal obligations. This license survives account termination to the extent necessary for backup retention, legal compliance, dispute resolution, and enforcement of these Terms.
Your Representations and Warranties
For every item of User Content you represent and warrant that:
- you own the content or hold all necessary rights, licenses, and consents to grant the license above
- every identifiable person depicted has given their free, specific, informed and explicit consent to appear on the Service
- every depicted person is at least 18 years of age and you hold verifiable documentation available on the Operator's request
- the content contains no prohibited material as described in the Acceptable Use section above or the Community Guidelines
- the content does not infringe any copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other right of any third party
- the content is truthful and not provided as part of any undisclosed paid endorsement or promotional arrangement
- the content genuinely depicts real people photographed as they actually are, and is not AI-generated, a deepfake, synthetic, or a digitally fabricated likeness of any person
Deletion
You may delete your User Content at any time through the Service. Best-effort removal from live storage and delivery caches occurs within 30 days. Residual encrypted backup copies may persist for up to 90 days, or longer where legal-hold, tax-retention, or safety obligations apply.
The license and representations in this section survive termination of your account.
15. Binding Arbitration & Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
Agreement to Arbitrate
You and the Operator agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to your use of the Service or these Terms shall be finally settled by individual, binding arbitration administered by the International Arbitration Centre of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Georgia (seat: Tbilisi; language: English; single arbitrator). The seat of arbitration is Tbilisi, Georgia. The language is English. The governing substantive law is the laws of Georgia. The award shall be final, binding, and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class Action Waiver
disputes must be resolved on an individual basis; class, collective and representative actions are waived to the maximum extent permitted by law. You and the Operator each agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may not preside over class or representative proceedings or award class-wide relief.
Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice
Before commencing arbitration, you must send a written Notice of Dispute to legal@spotlightedme.com stating your full name, account email, a detailed description of the dispute, and the relief sought. The Operator must respond within 60 days. If unresolved, either party may commence arbitration.
Opt-Out Right
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing legal@spotlightedme.com with your name, account email, and a clear statement of opt-out. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms.
Exceptions
Either party may seek emergency or interim injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property, trade secrets, or account security.
Nothing in this section waives non-waivable rights you may have under mandatory consumer-protection laws in your country of residence.
16. General Provisions
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision is enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect. If the class-action waiver in Section 15 is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) proceeds in court rather than in class arbitration; the remainder of the arbitration agreement remains in effect.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Refunds & Billing Policy, Community Guidelines, Disclaimer, Cookie Policy, and (for Reviewers) the Independent Contractor Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Operator regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements or understandings. If these Terms directly conflict with an incorporated policy on a matter these Terms expressly address, these Terms control; each incorporated policy otherwise supplements these Terms on the topics it covers.
You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights under them without the Operator's prior written consent. The Operator may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, or by operation of law.
The Operator may provide notices to you via the email address associated with your account or by posting on the Service. You may send legal notices to the Operator at legal@spotlightedme.com.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination of your access to the Service survive termination, including Sections 5 through 9 (Payments through Suspension), Section 14 (User-Generated Content), and Section 15 (Arbitration).
17. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
