1. About these Terms
These Terms of Use are an agreement between you and Minh Le, an individual developer based in Hanoi, Vietnam ("we", "us"). They cover the Wildary app and our websites at aniworldtech.com. You accept them when you tick the box in the app or keep using Wildary. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your personal data.
2. Who can use Wildary
You must be 18 or over. Before your first catch, we ask for your year of birth. If you are under 18, you can't use Wildary, and we delete the account on your device. If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 18, we will delete it.
You may use Wildary only for yourself, for fun and personal, non-commercial purposes.
3. Your account
- Guest account. When you first open Wildary, we create a guest account on your device. A guest account has 3 catch attempts and 1 card in total. If you don't link it to Google, we delete it 31 days after it was created.
- Linked account. If you sign in with Google, your account and collection are kept until you delete them. A linked account has up to 25 catches a day.
- One person, one account. Don't create several accounts to get around the limits, and don't share, sell or transfer your account.
- Keep it safe. You are responsible for what happens on your account. Tell us at wildary.dev@gmail.com if you think someone else is using it.
- Deleting. You can delete your account at any time in Profile, or by following the steps at wildary.aniworldtech.com/delete-account. Deletion is permanent: your cards and collection can't be recovered.
4. How Wildary works
- Catches. You photograph a real animal. If the photo works and the animal is identified, you get a card with a species, a rarity tier and some facts. Some catches fail, for example if the photo is unclear, shows no animal, or shows a picture or screen instead of a real animal. A failed catch still counts towards your limit, unless it failed because of an error on our side.
- AI identification can be wrong. The species, rarity and card facts are produced partly by AI (Google's Gemini). They are for fun and general interest. Don't rely on Wildary to decide whether an animal is dangerous, venomous, safe to touch, or safe to eat, or for any medical, veterinary or scientific purpose.
- Limits. We set limits on catches and cards to keep Wildary fair and affordable to run. We may change them at any time.
- Cards have no money value. Cards, rarity tiers and your collection aren't property and can't be exchanged for money. You can't sell, trade or transfer them, inside or outside Wildary. We may change card designs, tiers or facts, for example to fix mistakes.
- Free service. Wildary is free. We may show ads in the future; if we do, we'll update our Privacy Policy and ask for your choices first.
5. Safety in nature
You take part at your own risk. When you photograph animals:
- keep a safe distance, and never approach, touch, feed, chase or provoke wild or unknown animals;
- don't disturb nests, young animals or habitats, and don't move or capture animals for a photo;
- follow the law, including rules on protected species, national parks, nature reserves and private property;
- pay attention to traffic, water, heights and other hazards around you;
- don't photograph people without their permission.
Wildary never asks you to go anywhere, and no catch is worth a risk.
6. Fair play
Don't:
- fake your location, or use emulators, modified apps, bots or scripts;
- submit photos of screens, printed pictures, toys or images you didn't take yourself;
- create several accounts, or reset your device, to get around limits;
- copy, reverse engineer, overload or attack Wildary or its servers, or get around its security;
- use Wildary for anything illegal, or to harm animals or people;
- upload photos where a person is the main subject, or photos showing nudity, violence, cruelty to animals or other unlawful content.
We use automatic checks to find cheating. If we find it, we may remove cards, reset limits, or suspend or close the account (see section 9).
7. Your photos
- You keep ownership of the photos you take, and of the nicknames you give your cards.
- What you let us do. You give us a non-exclusive, free, worldwide licence to store, copy, resize and process your photos and nicknames, only to run Wildary for you. That includes sending photos to our AI provider for identification and making your cards. The licence ends when you delete the photo or your account, apart from backup copies, which disappear on their normal schedule.
- Training is your choice. We use your photos to train our own identification model only if you turn on "Help improve Wildary". You can turn it off at any time (see the Privacy Policy).
- Your photos stay private. We don't publish them or show them to other users.
- Your promise. You took the photos yourself, and they don't break the law or anyone else's rights.
8. Our content
Wildary's app, card designs, frame artwork, card texts, rarity system, name and logo belong to us or our licensors. You may use them only inside Wildary, for your own enjoyment. Species names and classification come from Catalogue of Life (via GBIF), licensed CC BY 4.0, and Vietnamese names from Wikidata (CC0); details are on our credits page.
9. Changes, suspension and ending
- Changes to Wildary. We may add, change or remove features, limits or species, and update the app. If a change significantly affects you, we'll tell you in the app beforehand where we reasonably can.
- Suspension or closure by us. We may suspend or close your account if you break these Terms, if the law requires it, or to protect other users, animals or Wildary. Where possible, we'll tell you why and give you a chance to respond, unless that would be unlawful or let cheating continue.
- Closing Wildary. If we decide to stop Wildary, we'll give at least 30 days' notice in the app, and then delete your data as the Privacy Policy describes.
- Ending by you. You can stop using Wildary at any time and delete your account.
- After it ends. Sections 7 (backup copies), 8, 11 and 12 continue to apply.
10. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. For important changes, we'll tell you in the app at least 15 days before they apply, and ask you to accept them. If you don't accept, you can delete your account. The date at the top shows the latest version.
11. Disclaimers and liability
- Wildary is a free app for entertainment, offered "as is". We work to keep it running and accurate, but we don't promise it will always be available, error-free, or right about every animal.
- We aren't responsible for harm that comes from your own choices outdoors, such as approaching an animal, entering a dangerous or restricted place, or relying on an identification. See section 5.
- We aren't responsible for losses we couldn't reasonably foresee or control, such as outages at our providers, network failures or natural disasters.
- If we are liable to you, our total liability is limited to the extent Vietnamese law allows.
- Nothing in these Terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, including for death or injury caused by our fault, for fraud, or your rights as a consumer under Vietnam's Law on Protection of Consumers' Rights.
12. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of Vietnam. If you have a problem, contact us first at wildary.dev@gmail.com, and we'll try to settle it within 30 days. If we can't, either of us may take the dispute to a competent court in Vietnam. You can also use any consumer dispute-resolution route the law gives you.
13. Language and contact
These Terms are available in Vietnamese and English. If they differ, the Vietnamese version applies.
