Terms of Use

Last updated: 5 October 2026

These terms apply to the Svoya app, operated by Mgr. Daniela Buchláková, Mierová 1909/76, 066 01 Humenné, Slovakia, business ID (IČO) 53462301 ("we", "us"). By using Svoya you agree to them.

If you downloaded Svoya from the Apple App Store, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies. These terms add to it; where the two conflict for an App Store download, Apple's agreement prevails.

How we handle data is described in our Privacy Policy.

1. What Svoya does

Svoya shows a reference photo over your live camera view so you can match a pose, framing or composition and take the photo you have in mind. It includes a library of poses, camera tools such as opacity control, grid, timer and burst, and a Gallery for the photos you take. An account is optional: you only need one to take part in the invite program.

2. Who can use Svoya

You must be at least 13 years old to use Svoya. If you are under 18, or under the age of majority where you live, you need the permission of a parent or guardian to use Svoya and to buy a subscription.

3. Subscriptions

Svoya is a paid subscription app, offered as a monthly or a yearly plan. The price, billing period and currency are shown in the app before you buy and can differ by country.

• Payment is charged to your App Store or Google Play account when you confirm the purchase.
• Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the period ends.
• Your account is charged for the renewal within 24 hours before the current period ends.
• You manage and cancel your subscription in your App Store or Google Play account settings, not in Svoya. Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription.
• Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies.

4. Free trial

The yearly plan may include a 7-day free trial for new subscribers who have not had a trial or subscription for Svoya before. Eligibility is decided by Apple or Google.

• If you do not cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the yearly subscription starts automatically and you are charged the yearly price.
• If you allow notifications, Svoya will try to remind you on your device about 2 days before your trial ends. This reminder is a courtesy: it may not arrive if notifications are turned off, the app was deleted, or your device settings prevent it, and the trial and renewal terms apply either way.
• The monthly plan does not include a free trial.

5. Your account

Creating an account is optional. Svoya works fully without one; you only need an account to get your own invite code and see your rewards.

• You can sign in with Apple, with Google, or with a one-time sign-in link sent to your email address. There is no password.
• Keep access to the Apple ID, Google account or email address you sign in with. Anyone who controls it can sign in to your account.
• You can delete your account at any time in Profile, under Delete account. This deletes your account and your invite code straight away.
• Deleting your account does not cancel your subscription. You manage your subscription in your App Store or Google Play settings. A free year you have already received stays with your store subscription; a reward you have not received yet is lost.

6. Invite friends

If you have an account, Profile shows your personal invite code. A friend can enter it in the Svoya onboarding before they subscribe.

• A friend counts once their first payment for Svoya goes through. A free trial alone does not count; a friend on the yearly plan counts when the trial ends and the first payment is made.
• The code has to be entered before the friend subscribes. Your own purchases never count.
• When 4 friends have paid, you receive one free year of Svoya, straight away. Each account can receive one free year.
• On the App Store you receive a one-time offer code, shown in Profile, which you redeem in the App Store. If you already have an active subscription, Apple applies the free year at your next renewal, so that renewal is free.
• On Google Play, the next renewal date of your subscription is moved one year later, so you are not charged for that year.
• A friend who gets a refund before you receive your reward no longer counts.
• We may withhold a reward or exclude an account from the program where invitations or purchases are not genuine, for example self-referrals, fake accounts or purchases refunded after a reward was given.
• The free year has no cash value and cannot be transferred. If a store does not let us deliver a reward, for example because your subscription has ended, contact us and we will look for a solution.
• We may change or end the program. Rewards you have already earned stay valid.

7. Your photos are yours

Photos you take with Svoya belong to you. We claim no rights over them, we never upload them and we never see them.

8. Photos you use as references

You are responsible for the photos you import as references. Only use photos you are allowed to use. A photo you found online usually belongs to someone else: using it privately as a guide for your own shot is one thing, republishing it is another.

Do not use Svoya to create content that is illegal, that harasses or exploits anyone, that sexualizes minors, or that infringes someone else's rights.

9. The pose library

The images in the Svoya pose library are AI-generated and do not show real people. They are licensed to you only for personal use inside Svoya, as a guide for your own photos. You may not copy, extract, redistribute or resell them, or use them to build another library or product.

10. Our app and brand

Svoya, its design, code, texts, pose library and brand belong to us or our licensors. Apart from the limited right to use the app described in these terms, no rights are transferred to you.

11. Availability and changes

We work to keep Svoya running smoothly, but we cannot promise it will always be available or free of errors. Some features depend on your device; for example, the zoom lenses offered depend on the cameras your phone has. We may add, change or remove features to improve the app.

12. Liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for photos you did not manage to take. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, and nothing affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

13. Ending your use

You can stop using Svoya at any time by deleting the app, cancelling your subscription in your store settings and, if you created one, deleting your account in Profile. We may suspend access if these terms are seriously or repeatedly broken.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version. For significant changes we will also let you know in the app. If you continue to use Svoya after a change, the updated terms apply.

15. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of the Slovak Republic. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you can bring proceedings there.
