7.1 Our Content

The Service, including all content, features, functionality, software, names database, and design, is owned by PearfectName and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of our Service without our express written permission.

7.2 Your Content

You retain ownership of any content you submit to the Service (such as sibling names or custom preferences). By submitting content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, store, and display that content solely to provide the Service.

8. Premium Features and Payments

• We reserve the right to modify pricing with advance notice to active subscribers

9. Gift Purchases

You can buy Lifetime Premium as a gift in the app or on our website. Each purchase creates one gift code that the recipient redeems in the app.

• Gift codes do not expire
• Gift codes have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for cash, resold, or transferred for value
• A gift code can be redeemed once, by a signed-in account; redemption gives that account Lifetime Premium

• Refunds are issued only to the purchaser: through Apple for in-app purchases, or by contacting us for website purchases
• If a gift purchase is refunded or charged back, the gift code is revoked. If it was already redeemed, the Premium access it provided is removed; any Premium the recipient purchased separately is not affected
