Effective Date: December 1, 2013
Last Update: July 18, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to Daniel Leighton Art, operated by Daniel Leighton (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using our website, mobile applications (existing and upcoming), art, or freelance services, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, please do not use our services.

2. Scope of Services

  • Website and Applications: We provide access to information about our art, mission, events, and interactive features.
  • Artworks: Includes physical, digital, and augmented reality pieces created by Daniel Leighton.
  • Freelance Services: Creative consulting, one-on-one guidance, and speaking engagements tailored to individual or organizational needs.
  • Scope of Terms: These Terms apply to all mobile applications and related services we publish under the DanielLeighton.com domain or developer account (collectively, the “Apps”), including any future Apps unless a separate, app‑specific set of terms explicitly supersedes this document.

3. User Responsibilities

  • You must be at least 18 years old or have parental consent to use our services.
  • You agree not to misuse our services, including:
  • Copying or reproducing content without permission.
  • Using our apps or services for unlawful purposes.
  • Disrupting our website or applications.

4. Intellectual Property

All materials, including artwork, app content, text, and multimedia, are protected under copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may not use these materials for commercial purposes without written consent from Daniel Leighton Art.

5. Payment and Refunds

  • Payments for artwork, app subscriptions, or freelance services are non-refundable unless explicitly stated in a written agreement.
  • For commissioned artwork or projects, a deposit is required, with the balance due upon completion.

6. Privacy and Data Use

  • We collect and use your data per our Privacy Policy, ensuring the security and confidentiality of your information.
  • Any data collected through interactive app features, such as augmented reality engagement, is anonymized and used solely to improve user experience.
  • Certain features in some of our apps (e.g. Notifications in Drink Water, Dummy or Photo Gallery access in Daniel Leighton Art + AR) may request additional permissions; those data are processed solely to provide that feature.

7. Limitations of Liability

We strive to deliver our services as promised but cannot guarantee uninterrupted or error-free use. We are not liable for:

  • Damages arising from the misuse of our art or services.
  • Interruptions due to technical issues beyond our control.

8. Affiliate Links

Some links to external websites in our apps or on our site are affiliate links.
We may earn a small commission if you purchase through those links. This does
not affect the price you pay. No personal information is shared with us by the
merchant beyond anonymized reporting.

9. Subscriptions and One‑Time (“Lifetime”) Unlocks

Some of our apps (collectively, the “Subscription Apps”) offer auto‑renewing
subscriptions (e.g. monthly, yearly) and/or an optional one‑time, non‑recurring
purchase (“Lifetime Unlock”) that grants ongoing access to premium features in
that specific app.

Auto‑Renewing Subscriptions

  • Your Apple ID is charged at purchase confirmation and will be charged again
    for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
  • Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before
    the current period ends.
  • Manage or cancel anytime in Settings › Apple ID › Subscriptions on your iOS
    device. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
  • Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you retain access until then.

Lifetime Unlock

  • A single, non‑recurring payment that grants continued access to the designated
    premium features in that app for as long as the app and those features are
    offered.
  • Lifetime access persists while we continue to offer the app and its premium features; if the app is discontinued, no further refunds are due.
  • Lifetime access is not transferable between different apps unless expressly
    stated in the app itself.

Pricing & Changes

  • Current prices are displayed in the relevant app’s purchase screen and may
    vary by region (Apple sets local currency equivalents).
  • We may change prices in the future; if a subscription price increases, Apple
    or the app will notify you and you must agree before the new price takes
    effect, otherwise the subscription may lapse.

Trials & Promotions

  • Some subscriptions may include free trials or introductory offers. If you do
    not cancel at least 24 hours before a trial ends, the full subscription price
    is charged.
  • Unused portions of a free trial are forfeited if you purchase a subscription before the trial ends.

Refunds

  • Refunds are handled by Apple under the Apple Media Services Terms; we cannot
    issue direct refunds for App Store purchases.


10. Cancellation and Termination

  • Cancellations of subscriptions or service agreements are subject to the terms of the specific contract, the App Store, or the platform through which the purchase was made.
  • We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to our services for violations of these Terms.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California. Any disputes will be resolved in California courts.
