1. Acceptance of these Terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Jianhui Liu / 刘建辉 (“TextileLens,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By downloading, accessing, or using TextileLens or its related services, you agree to these Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the User Agreement.
If you do not agree, do not use the Service. If you use the Service for a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind it. You must be legally capable of entering this agreement and meet the minimum digital-consent age in your jurisdiction.
2. What TextileLens provides
TextileLens helps users organize fabric photos and receive evidence-based visual observations, possible fabric candidates, structural classifications, likely production-route guidance, possible machine-family suggestions, risk notes, and recommended verification steps.
Features may differ by version, device, country, subscription status, network availability, and production configuration. Some versions may process information locally; others may offer cloud analysis.
3. Important analysis limitations
TextileLens provides informational visual estimates, not laboratory testing, certification, engineering advice, or a guarantee. Photos alone generally cannot establish exact fiber composition, blend ratio, yarn count, GSM, finished width, gauge, machine diameter, feeder count, speed, chemical treatment, safety performance, regulatory compliance, authenticity, or production suitability.
A candidate name, machine family, route, or parameter range must be confirmed with physical inspection, supplier documentation, laboratory testing, and qualified textile or production professionals before purchasing materials, configuring machinery, manufacturing goods, making safety claims, or entering commercial commitments.
You remain responsible for decisions made using a report. Do not use TextileLens as the sole basis for safety-critical, legal, regulatory, financial, quality-control, or manufacturing decisions.
4. Your photos and content
You retain ownership of the photos, notes, labels, and other content you submit (“User Content”). You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, transmit, format, and process User Content only as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, and support the Service and to produce the analysis you request.
You represent that you have the rights and permissions needed to submit User Content and that doing so does not violate confidentiality, privacy, intellectual-property, trade-secret, or other rights. Do not upload faces, identity documents, personal records, confidential specifications, unreleased designs, or sensitive business information unless genuinely necessary and lawfully authorized.
5. Acceptable use
You may not:
- use the Service unlawfully or to infringe another person’s rights;
- submit malicious code, harmful content, or content you are not permitted to use;
- attempt to bypass usage limits, access controls, or payment requirements;
- probe, disrupt, overload, scrape, reverse engineer, or interfere with the Service except where such restriction is prohibited by law;
- misrepresent a TextileLens estimate as a laboratory result, certification, guaranteed specification, or verified factory setting;
- use the Service to build or benchmark a competing model or dataset without written permission;
- resell or make automated high-volume use of the Service unless we expressly authorize it.
6. Trials, subscriptions, and purchases
TextileLens may offer a limited trial, subscription, or other in-app purchase. The offer screen will show the applicable price, billing period, included features, and trial conditions before purchase. A completed analysis may count toward a usage allowance whether or not you later save the report.
App Store purchases are processed by Apple and are subject to Apple’s payment terms. Unless the offer states otherwise, an auto-renewable subscription renews until canceled through your Apple Account settings at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Apple controls billing, tax collection, refunds, and renewal timing. Use Apple’s purchase-management tools or contact Apple for refund requests.
We may change future prices or plan features as permitted by law and Apple’s rules. Changes do not remove rights already provided by applicable consumer law.
7. Service availability and changes
We may add, modify, suspend, or discontinue features. Cloud analysis depends on networks and third-party infrastructure and may be delayed, unavailable, or produce incomplete results. We do not promise uninterrupted access or support for every fabric, image, device, language, or location.
We may limit or suspend access where reasonably necessary to protect users, investigate abuse, comply with law, maintain security, or prevent material harm. Where appropriate and practical, we will provide notice.
8. TextileLens intellectual property
The app, service design, software, branding, documentation, report structure, and other materials we provide are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by applicable laws. These Terms do not transfer ownership to you. The limited app license is described in the User Agreement.
You may use reports for your personal or internal business purposes, subject to these Terms. You may not remove notices or imply that TextileLens certified a fabric or endorsed a product.
9. Third-party services
The Service may rely on Apple, hosting providers, model-inference providers, or external websites. Their separate terms and privacy practices may apply. We are not responsible for third-party services outside our control, but we remain responsible for our own obligations under applicable law.
10. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” We disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and uninterrupted availability. We do not warrant that a report will identify a fabric, supplier, process, machine, or parameter correctly.
Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties, remedies, or consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded.
11. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, TextileLens and its provider will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, production loss, material waste, business interruption, lost data, or procurement decisions arising from use of the Service.
Where liability may lawfully be limited, our aggregate liability relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid for TextileLens during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim or USD 50. This limitation does not apply where prohibited by law, including liability that cannot be limited for fraud, willful misconduct, personal injury, or mandatory consumer rights.
12. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws applicable where the Provider is legally established, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except that mandatory consumer protections and venue rights in your place of residence continue to apply. Before filing a formal claim, please contact us and allow a reasonable opportunity to resolve the issue informally.
13. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the Service, providers, law, or risk controls. We will post the revised Terms and update the date above. If required, we will provide additional notice or request renewed agreement. Continued use after an effective update constitutes acceptance only to the extent permitted by law.
