Terms of Use
1. Parties and Acceptance
These Terms of Use (the "Terms") apply between Kaya Yılmaz (individual developer; "Wowstage", "we"), which provides the Wowstage mobile application (the "App") and the related web pages (the "Site"), and the person using the App (the "User", "you"). By accepting the Terms at sign-up you become a party to this agreement. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
The processing of your personal data is explained in the Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of these Terms.
2. Service Provider Information
Identifying information under the Turkish Law No. 5651:
3. Description of the Service
Wowstage is a social network where users share photos and short videos, photos are scored out of 100 in three categories (beauty/handsomeness, attractiveness, style) by our AI models, users can see a photo's scores and tips without sharing it ("See my scores"), and which offers daily/monthly/yearly rankings, stories, highlights, one-to-one messaging, duels, clothing analysis and similar-outfit search, collections, articles, and AI-assisted face and hair editing and outfit try-on (Studio). The service is provided "as is" and features may change over time.
4. Age and Eligibility
- You must be at least 18 years old to use the App. By signing up you declare this; accounts found to belong to anyone under 18 are closed.
- A previously banned user may not open a new account.
5. Account
- You must provide accurate and up-to-date information at sign-up. One person may hold only one account.
- You are responsible for your password and for everything done through your account; report unauthorised use immediately.
- A username may not imitate another person's name, brand or identity and may not contain insults or discrimination. We may change inappropriate usernames.
- Your account may be linked to your device (abuse prevention). Opening new accounts from devices used by a banned account may be prevented.
- You can verify your e-mail address with the link we send you. The real owner of an unverified address can take it over for their own account by proving that it is theirs; your account then stays usable with your username, and you will be asked to add a new address.
6. Content Rules
You may not post, send or message the following:
- Nudity, sexual content or content of a sexual nature.
- Violence, hate speech, discrimination, harassment, threats, bullying, encouragement of self-harm.
- Photos or videos of people who have not consented; content that shows someone else's face or represents someone else. The face in the photos you share and analyse with "See my scores" must be your own; for accounts that have verified their face, the App checks this through face verification.
- Misleading and fake content: deepfakes, face swaps, AI-generated images of other people. Edits you make to your own face with Studio are permitted; such posts carry the "Wow Studio" watermark and are not scored.
- Content that infringes copyright, trademarks or personal rights.
- Spam, fake engagement, manipulation of likes or duel votes, multiple accounts, use through automated tools.
- Promotion of illegal goods or services; disclosure of personal information (address, phone, ID).
Background music offered in video recordings comes from our licensed library; you may not separate the music tracks from the video and use them elsewhere.
7. Content Licence and Intellectual Property
- You keep the rights to the content you share. By sharing content you grant Wowstage a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable licence, to the extent necessary to provide the service (display, copy, preview generation, technical processing, resizing, watermarking, share-link previews), which ends when you delete the content. For messages remaining in the other party's chat history and for backup copies, the licence continues for the periods set out in the Privacy Policy.
- Garment reference: Garment images in the photos you share publicly (the garment only; not your face, body or identity) may be used by other users as a reference in Studio outfit try-on. For this purpose a mask and cut-out copy of the garment is kept; the copies are deleted from every user's wardrobe when you delete or hide the photo or your account is purged. On a private account only the followers you approve can use them, and people you block never can. Studio results other users generate on their own photos with that reference are their own content; they contain neither your photo nor your face, and deleting your photo does not affect them.
- The Wowstage name, logo, design, software and AI models belong to Wowstage or its licensors; they may not be copied, reverse engineered or used in a separate service without permission.
8. AI Processing and Scoring
- The photos you share and analyse and the videos you share are processed automatically: face detection and face vector extraction, beauty/attractiveness/style scores, clothing segmentation and similar-outfit matching. Processing of your face data is subject to the explicit consent you give separately.
- Scores are only the estimates of our AI models; there is no community voting and likes do not affect scores. Scores are subjective, for entertainment, not a judgement about your personality or worth, and may change as the models are updated. Entering the rankings requires an account with a verified face that is not private.
- You choose, category by category, whether other users can see a photo's scores; this is off by default. The scores you hide still count in your profile average; who can see your profile average is explained in Section 5 of the Privacy Policy.
- See my scores: you can have a photo analysed without sharing it; up to 20 analyses can be made per day. Other users cannot see the analysis, and it is deleted after 30 days if you do not share it. The tips on the result screen are about how the photo is taken, the outfit and the Studio; they do not guarantee a higher score.
- Duels: two users' photos are put to other users' vote with the question "Who's more wow?"; duel votes do not affect scores.
- When you delete a photo, its score record continues to count in your average so that scores cannot be altered by deleting content (Privacy Policy, Section 8).
- Studio outfit try-on: a garment you added to your wardrobe is drawn by AI onto a photo of yourself that you choose. The result is an AI estimate: the garment may not match the reference exactly, some accessories or items may not be preserved, and the App tells you so on the result screen. Only the garment image is taken from another user's photo; that person's face, body or identity never enters the result. A daily try-on limit and a wardrobe size limit apply.
- AI outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete or upsetting. For your right to object to results, see Section 10 of the Privacy Policy.
9. Moderation, Reporting and Blocking
- We apply zero tolerance to objectionable content and abusive users.
- Any content or profile can be reported from within the App; any user can be blocked. A blocked user cannot interact with you and cannot see your content.
- Reports are reviewed within 24 hours; content found to violate the rules is removed and, where necessary, the account is suspended or permanently closed.
- Removed content is kept for 30 days for appeal; you may send appeals to support@wowstage.app.
- Copyright notice: if you believe content you own has been shared without permission, write to support@wowstage.app with the link to the content, information showing your ownership and your contact details. The notice-and-takedown procedure under the Turkish Law No. 5846 on Intellectual and Artistic Works and Law No. 5651 applies.
10. Suspension and Bans
We may suspend or permanently close your account in case of a breach of these Terms, harm to other users, fake accounts or a request from a legal authority. A permanent ban may prevent the e-mail address concerned and the devices used from opening new accounts. The content of a banned account is deleted within the periods set out in the Privacy Policy; if there is a legal request, the data is retained until the request is concluded.
11. Deleting Your Account and Content
- You can delete your account at any time via Settings > Delete Account. The account closes immediately and your data is permanently deleted after 30 days; the action cannot be undone. Details are in Section 8 of the Privacy Policy.
- You can delete individual photos, videos, stories, comments, Studio results and "See my scores" analyses within the App; an analysis you have not shared is deleted immediately and permanently. You can remove garments from your Studio wardrobe at any time; when you delete one of your photos, every garment copy taken from it (in your wardrobe and in other users' wardrobes) is deleted at that moment.
12. Messaging
- Messages are not end-to-end encrypted; they are stored on our servers. Apart from a legal request and moderation needs, only the parties of the conversation can see them.
- Even if the other party's account is deleted, the messages in your chat history are preserved; the sender appears as "Deleted User".
13. Fees
The App is currently free of charge. If paid features are offered in the future, prices, payment terms and refund rules will be announced separately and submitted for your acceptance. In-app virtual items or balances are not real money, are non-transferable and expire when the account is closed.
14. Disclaimer
- The service is provided "as is" and "as available"; it is not guaranteed to be uninterrupted, error-free or secure.
- Wowstage is not responsible for the content and conduct of other users; reporting and blocking tools are provided for content shared about you.
- AI scores and edits are predictions; their accuracy is not guaranteed.
15. Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by law, Wowstage is not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for loss of data or profit. Cases of intent and gross negligence, and your mandatory rights under consumer legislation, are reserved.
16. Changes
The Terms may be updated. Material changes are announced by in-app notification and the current version is indicated in the document. Continuing to use the App after a change means you accept the new Terms; if you do not agree, you may delete your account.
17. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. The Istanbul (Çağlayan) Courts and Enforcement Offices have jurisdiction over disputes. The rights of users who qualify as consumers under the Turkish Law No. 6502 on Consumer Protection to apply to the consumer arbitration committees and consumer courts of their place of residence are reserved.
These Terms are provided in Turkish and English. In the event of any discrepancy between the two versions, the Turkish version prevails.
