By downloading, installing, or using the NameStory mobile application (“App”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“User,” “you,” or “your”) and NameStory (“we,” “us,” or “our”).
NameStory is a mobile application that allows users to:
All core features are free to use. No advertising is shown inside the App. Predictions are produced by external statistical APIs and are estimates, not facts.
You must be at least 13 years old (or 16 in the European Economic Area, or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction) to use NameStory. By using the App, you represent and warrant that:
If you are under 18, you confirm that you have parental or guardian consent to use the App.
NameStory is designed to be fully usable without an account. However, to sync your history across devices you may optionally create an account via:
You agree to:
You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorized access to your account due to your failure to maintain confidentiality.
You may terminate your account at any time via Settings > Delete Account. Upon deletion, your Firebase Authentication record and any synced history in Firestore will be removed within 30 days. Locally stored data on your device can be cleared by also uninstalling the App or using Settings > Clear History.
You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes. Specifically, you agree to:
You acknowledge that the names you type may be sent to third-party APIs (Agify, Genderize, Nationalize, Wikipedia, REST Countries) as described in the Privacy Policy. You are responsible for ensuring that any name you search does not violate the privacy rights of others.
You may NOT use the App to:
Violation of any of these provisions may result in immediate termination of your access, with or without notice.
NameStory’s predictions are statistical estimates, not facts. They are generated by third-party public APIs that use aggregated population-level data. In particular:
You must not use NameStory’s predictions to make assumptions about specific real individuals, and you must not present its output as authoritative. The App is designed for curiosity, research, and creative work — not for identity verification, demographic targeting, or any form of decision-making that could disadvantage any person.
NameStory and its original content, features, and functionality are owned by us and are protected by international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our trademarks, service marks, or logos without our prior written consent.

You retain ownership of any display name or account metadata you provide. By providing it, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, store, and display it solely to operate the App and the services you request.
The App integrates with third-party services including Google, Apple, Firebase, Expo, Agify, Genderize, Nationalize, Wikipedia, and REST Countries. Each of these services has its own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the availability, content, or practices of third-party services. Your use of those services is subject to their respective terms.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the App at any time, with or without notice. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the App.
This includes the right to change or remove features, adjust rate limits, change pricing of any optional paid feature that may be introduced in future versions, or retire the App entirely. Where feasible, we will provide advance notice through an in-app message or email.
THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not warrant that:
To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event shall NameStory, its officers, directors, employees, agents, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including without limitation loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from:
Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App shall not exceed the amount you have paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim. If you have not paid us any amount, our maximum liability is one hundred United States dollars (USD 100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or damages. In those jurisdictions, our liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless NameStory and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in any way connected with:
We may terminate or suspend your access to the App immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including breach of these Terms.

This Section 15 does not apply to claims for injunctive relief to protect intellectual property rights, claims that cannot be subject to arbitration by law, or small-claims-court matters.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify users of material changes through:
Continued use of the App after changes indicates acceptance. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the App.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining Terms remain in full force and effect.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms referenced inside the App, constitute the entire agreement between you and NameStory concerning the App and supersede all prior agreements.
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights.
You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms freely, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, on notice to you.
We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, labor disputes, government actions, internet outages, or outages of third-party services we depend on (Firebase, Expo, Wikipedia, Agify, Genderize, Nationalize, REST Countries).
