Terms of Use

iKippa for iPhone · Effective 9 September 2026 · Version 2.0

These terms are an agreement between you and 8200 RAN INTELLIGENCE S.R.L. ("we", "us", "our"), a company registered in Romania, about your use of the iKippa app for iPhone. Please read them. By downloading, opening or using iKippa you accept them. If you do not accept them, delete the app.

1. What iKippa is — and is not

iKippa is entertainment software. It displays a picture of a kippa on your iPhone screen, lets you choose and design styles, and plays a sound when tapped.

It is not a kippa, a religious article, a ritual object or a garment. It does not satisfy any religious obligation, requirement or custom in any tradition. It is not endorsed, approved, certified or supervised by any rabbi, rabbinical court, halachic authority, congregation or religious organisation. We give no religious advice, ruling or guidance of any kind.

Our Entertainment Only disclaimer forms part of these terms and explains this in full, including where and when the app should not be used. Please read it.

2. Using your device safely

iKippa invites you to put your phone on your head. You do that at your own risk. Do not do it while walking, driving, cycling, on stairs, over hard floors, or anywhere a falling phone could injure someone or be damaged. Wear mode keeps your screen awake and may raise brightness to maximum; both can be turned off in Settings. See the disclaimer for the detail.

3. Your licence

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and revocable licence to use one copy of iKippa on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, for your own private, non-commercial enjoyment, in accordance with these terms and with Apple's Licensed Application End User Licence Agreement, which also applies. Where these terms and Apple's standard agreement conflict, these terms prevail as between you and us, to the extent permitted.

We are licensing the app to you. We are not selling it to you. You get no ownership of anything in it.

4. Our property

iKippa and everything in it belongs to us or to our licensors. That includes, without limitation: the name "iKippa" and the iKippa wordmark and logo; the app icon; all artwork, drawings, renderings, textures, patterns, colour schemes and visual designs, including every kippa style, the stitched edge, the hair clip, and the menorah and Star of David emblems; all text and wording in the app and on this site; the sounds; the source code, object code, structure and design of the app; and this website. All of it is protected by copyright, trade mark and other laws, and all rights not expressly granted are reserved.

You must not, and must not permit anyone else to:

• copy, extract, rip, trace, redraw, reproduce or redistribute the artwork, designs, icon, sounds, code or any other part of the app;
• reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify, adapt, translate or attempt to derive the source code of the app, except to the narrow extent that this cannot lawfully be prohibited;
• rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, publish, mirror or otherwise make the app or its content available to anyone else;
• use the app or any of its content in another app, product, service or dataset, including for training, fine-tuning or evaluating any machine-learning or artificial-intelligence system;
• use "iKippa", our wordmark, logo or app icon as your own branding, or in a way that suggests we endorse, supply or are associated with you or your product;
• remove, obscure or alter any copyright, trade mark or other proprietary notice;
• use the app for any commercial purpose, including selling printed or physical goods made from its output, without our written permission.

Screenshots and recordings of the app for your own personal, non-commercial use — showing a friend, posting a picture of your kippa — are welcome and encouraged. Anything beyond that, please ask us first.

5. Your designs and your text

When you design a kippa you choose materials, colours, an emblem and, if you like, text around the rim. We claim no ownership over the words you type or the combination you choose, and we never see them: designs stay on your device, and in your own iCloud device backup if you use one.

The underlying styles, artwork and drawing engine remain ours. Your design is a set of choices applied to our artwork, and your right to use it is the licence in section 3.

You are entirely responsible for any text you put on a kippa. You must not add text or use the app to produce anything that:

• infringes anyone's copyright, trade mark, name, likeness or other rights;
• is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, harassing, threatening, or hateful towards any person or group, including on grounds of religion, ethnicity, nationality, gender or sexuality;
• impersonates a person, organisation or authority, or falsely suggests religious approval, certification or affiliation;
• contains someone else's personal information without their agreement.

We do not review, moderate, verify or approve anything you make. If you break this section, the consequences are yours.

6. Sharing a design with someone else

Plus members can export a design as a file and send it to another Plus member. That file travels directly between you and the person you send it to, by whatever means you choose. It does not pass through us and we never receive a copy. If you have written a name, a date or anything else personal on a kippa, that text is inside the file you send — so send it only to people you mean to send it to. What you share, and with whom, is your responsibility.

7. What you can buy

The Classic Velvet kippa and wear mode are free, and always will be. Beyond that:

• iKippa Plus (monthly) — an auto-renewing subscription that unlocks every style and the full designer for as long as it is active.
• iKippa Plus (lifetime) — a one-time purchase unlocking the same things permanently on your Apple Account.
• One custom kippa — a one-time purchase giving you one credit. A credit is spent when you save a kippa, whether you start from scratch or from an existing style. What it buys stays yours to keep and to keep editing. It is not a subscription and it does not make you a Plus member.

Prices are shown in the app before you buy, in your local currency, and may differ between countries and change over time. The features included in Plus may grow; see section 10.

8. Billing, renewal and cancellation

Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. A monthly subscription renews automatically, and your Apple Account is charged, within the 24 hours before the current period ends, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before then. Cancelling stops the next renewal; it does not shorten or refund the period you have already paid for, and you keep Plus until that period ends.

You manage and cancel subscriptions with Apple, not with us: on your iPhone open Settings → your name → Subscriptions → iKippa Plus. We cannot cancel, pause, change or extend your subscription for you, and deleting the app does not cancel it.

9. Refunds

For customers in Romania and the rest of the European Union, the seller of the app and of every in-app purchase is Apple Distribution International Ltd.; elsewhere it is the Apple entity named on your receipt. We never take your payment, never see your card details, and never hold your money. What reaches us is a share of Apple's proceeds, after the fact.

1. Refund requests go to Apple, at reportaproblem.apple.com. Apple decides, under its own policy and its Media Services Terms and Conditions. Requests generally must be made within 90 days of purchase, and Apple may refuse.
2. We operate no refund scheme of our own, and we do not offer refunds, credits, exchanges, partial refunds or compensation directly. Asking us will not speed anything up: we have no power over it and no money of yours to return.
3. A fault is not a refund. If part of the app does not work, does not work on your device, or stops working, please tell us and we will try to put it right in an update. But a bug, a crash, a missing or changed feature, a style you did not like, a purchase you made by mistake, a feature that turned out not to be what you expected, or simply changing your mind does not by itself entitle you to a refund from us, and does not entitle you to one from Apple either — that remains Apple's decision.
4. We do not promise that a refund will be granted, and nothing said by us, in the app, in an email, or on this site should be read as a promise, undertaking or guarantee that Apple will refund you.
5. Your legal rights are untouched. Nothing in this section removes or limits any right you have as a consumer that cannot be removed or limited by agreement. In particular, if you are a consumer in the European Union you may have a statutory right to withdraw from a purchase of digital content within 14 days — a right you lose once delivery has begun with your express consent and your acknowledgement that you lose it. As the seller, Apple handles that right, and Apple's terms describe how.

10. Faults, changes and availability

We would like iKippa to work perfectly on every device, for ever. We cannot promise that.

• We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, free of bugs, compatible with every device or every version of iOS, or available at any particular time.
• We may add, change, improve, redesign or retire styles, features and prices, and we may release updates you need to install for the app to keep working properly. Apple, iOS changes, or the withdrawal of the app from the App Store may also affect availability, and those are outside our control.
• If you bought Plus lifetime, we will not later convert it into a subscription or take away what you paid for while the app remains available. If we ever retire a style you had through Plus, we will aim to offer something equivalent. We cannot promise the app will exist for ever, and "lifetime" means the lifetime of the app, not of any person.
• Designs you have saved are stored on your device. Uninstalling the app deletes them. Keeping your own backup is your responsibility, and we cannot recover designs for you.

11. No warranty

To the fullest extent permitted by law, iKippa is provided "as is" and "as available", with all faults and without warranty of any kind. We disclaim all warranties, conditions and representations, whether express, implied or statutory, including any implied warranty of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, quiet enjoyment or non-infringement.

If you are a consumer, you may have legal rights that cannot be excluded. This section does not affect them.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

• We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive or exemplary loss; for loss of profit, revenue, goodwill, opportunity or data; or for any loss that was not reasonably foreseeable when you started using the app.
• We are not liable for damage to, loss of, or theft of your device or any other property, including damage caused by placing a device on your head or anywhere else, or by dropping it.
• We are not liable for offence taken, objections raised, exclusion from any place or community, or any other social, religious or reputational consequence of your use of the app, or for anything arising from text you choose to put on a kippa.
• We are not liable for anything caused by Apple, by your device, by iOS, by your network, by iCloud, or by any other third party.
• Our total liability to you for all claims connected with iKippa, however arising, is limited to the greater of the amount you actually paid for the app and its in-app purchases in the twelve months before the claim arose, or EUR 50.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded. If you are a consumer, your mandatory statutory rights are unaffected, and where the law of your country does not allow some of the exclusions above, they apply to you only so far as that law allows.

13. Your responsibility to us

If a third party brings a claim against us because you used iKippa unlawfully, in breach of these terms, or because of text or a design you created or shared, you agree to be responsible to us for the reasonable losses and costs we suffer as a direct result. This applies only to the extent the claim is caused by your own act or omission, and never to anything that is our fault.

14. Ending the licence

You may stop at any time by deleting the app. We may suspend or end your licence if you materially breach these terms, in particular sections 4, 5 and 6. If we do, you must stop using the app and delete it; sections about our property, warranties, liability and governing law survive. Ending the licence for breach does not entitle you to a refund, and refunds remain a matter for Apple in any case.

15. Apple

These terms are between you and us. Apple is not a party to them.

• Apple has no responsibility for iKippa or its content, and no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for it. Support is ours to give: office@ranintelligence.com.
• If the app fails to conform to any warranty that cannot be disclaimed, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price you paid for the app. Beyond that, Apple has no warranty obligation whatsoever, and any other claim, loss, liability, damage, cost or expense attributable to a failure to conform is our responsibility, not Apple's.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the app, including product liability claims, any claim that the app fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection or similar law.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for investigating and resolving any third-party claim that the app infringes intellectual property rights.
• You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as terrorist-supporting, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and, on your acceptance, have the right to enforce them against you.

16. Age

iKippa is suitable for general audiences, but it is not directed at children under 13, and it is not designed for them. If you are under the age of majority where you live, use it only with the agreement of a parent or guardian. Purchases must be made by the Apple Account holder or with their permission; Apple's Ask to Buy and Screen Time controls are the place to manage that.

17. Complaints and disputes

If something is wrong, please write to us first at office@ranintelligence.com. Most things are a misunderstanding or a bug, and we would rather fix it than argue about it. We aim to reply within a few working days.

If your complaint is about a payment, a charge, a subscription or a refund, it is a matter for Apple as seller, and Apple's own complaint process applies.

Consumers in Romania may also contact the National Authority for Consumer Protection (ANPC), including through its alternative dispute resolution service at reclamatiisal.anpc.ro. Consumers elsewhere in the European Union may use the consumer bodies available in their own country. The European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform closed on 20 July 2025 and is no longer available.

18. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of Romania. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the European Union, this choice does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory consumer law of the country where you live, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of that country. Subject to that, the courts of Cluj-Napoca, Romania have jurisdiction.

19. General

• Changes. We may update these terms — for example when the app changes or the law does. The version and effective date at the top will change, and the current version always lives at this address. Material changes will be announced in the app or on this site. Continuing to use iKippa after a change means you accept it; if you do not, delete the app.
• Severability. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in force, and the unenforceable part applies as far as the law allows.
• No waiver. If we do not enforce something straight away, we have not given up the right to enforce it later.
• Entire agreement. These terms, the disclaimer, the privacy policy and Apple's standard licence agreement are the whole agreement between us about iKippa.
• Assignment. You may not transfer your rights under these terms. We may transfer ours to a company that takes over this app or our business, without reducing your rights.
• Feedback. If you send us an idea or suggestion, we may use it freely, without obligation, payment or confidentiality. Please do not send us anything you consider confidential or want to be paid for.
• Language. These terms are written in English, and the English version governs.

20. Who we are
