IPIP-300 - Terms of Service

These Terms of Service govern your download, installation, access, and use of IPIP-300, a personality self-assessment mobile application and related services operated by Omu Labs Limited. These Terms include provisions intended to work together with the Apple App Store Standard End User License Agreement where applicable.

A. Agreement Relationship
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your download, installation, access, and use of the IPIP-300 mobile application, website, and related services (collectively, the “Service”), operated by Omu Labs Limited (“Developer”, “we”, “our”, or “us”). By accessing or using IPIP-300, you agree to be legally bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you should immediately discontinue use of the Service.
B. App Store and Platform Terms
The Service may be distributed through third-party platforms, including the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Your download and use of the App may also be subject to the applicable terms, conditions, and usage rules of those platforms. For users who download IPIP-300 through the Apple App Store, these Terms are intended to supplement, and not replace, Apple’s applicable terms, including the Apple Media Services Terms and Apple’s Standard End User License Agreement where applicable.
C. Description of the Service
IPIP-300 presents a 300-item personality inventory — organized across five broad personality domains and thirty facets — in a guided, session-based format, together with score reports, bilingual (English / Traditional Chinese) content, and optional AI-generated reflective insights. We may modify, suspend, discontinue, or update any aspect of the Service at any time without prior notice.
D. No Affiliation with IPIP
IPIP-300 is an independent, unofficial app created by Omu Labs Limited. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially connected to the International Personality Item Pool (IPIP) project, its maintainers, Dr. John A. Johnson (author of the IPIP-NEO-300 inventory), Dr. Lewis R. Goldberg, or the publishers of any commercial personality inventory, including the NEO PI-R. “IPIP”, “IPIP-NEO”, and “IPIP-NEO-300” refer to a publicly available, open personality item pool and associated inventories; we make no claim of exclusive ownership over the underlying items, and our scoring, translations, session design, and interpretive content are not official outputs of, and have not been reviewed or approved by, the IPIP project or its maintainers.
E. Not a Diagnostic, Clinical, or Employment Tool
IPIP-300 is provided for general self-reflection, educational, and personal-development purposes only. It is not a medical device, diagnostic instrument, psychological evaluation administered by a licensed professional, or a substitute for professional psychological, psychiatric, medical, legal, financial, or career advice. Scores, percentiles, written interpretations, and any AI-generated insights must not be used or relied upon to make employment, hiring, promotion, clinical, legal, financial, or other significant decisions about yourself or any other person. If you have concerns about your mental health or well-being, please consult a qualified professional.
F. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you should use the Service only with the consent of a parent or legal guardian. By using IPIP-300, you represent that you have the legal authority and capacity to enter into these Terms and that your use complies with applicable laws and regulations.
G. Accounts Are Optional
Core assessment functionality — answering items, tracking progress, offline scoring, and viewing your report — does not require creating an account or signing in. An account (via email, Apple Sign-In, or Google Sign-In) is required only to use the optional “AI Insights” feature and the optional cloud backup of your score results described below. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account.
H. Your Local Data
Your item-by-item answers, session progress, streaks, and score snapshots are stored locally on your device. Unless you choose to enable the optional cloud backup feature described below, this data exists only on your device, and we are not able to back it up, recover it, transfer it, or restore it on your behalf if you delete the App, reset your device, switch devices, or otherwise lose access to your device.
I. Optional Cloud Backup of Scores
If you create an account and manually enable backup from Settings, we store a snapshot of your calculated domain and facet scores — not your item-by-item answers — so that you may restore them on a new device. You may disable this feature and delete this backup data at any time from Settings.
J. Content and Intellectual Property
All item translations, session structure, scoring methodology, interpretation copy, mascot artwork (“Alano”), illustrations, branding, software, source code, and other content made available through the Service (“Content”) are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. The Content is provided for your personal, non-commercial use only. You may not copy, scrape, redistribute, sell, commercially exploit, or create derivative databases from the Content without our prior written permission.
K. Acceptable Use
You agree not to misuse the Service, including by attempting to reverse-engineer, decompile, interfere with, overload, bypass technical restrictions, access non-public systems, or use automated means such as bots, crawlers, or scrapers to extract Content at scale. You also agree not to use the Service in a way that violates applicable laws, infringes rights, or harms the security, integrity, or availability of the Service.
L. AI Insights Feature
If you choose to use the optional AI Insights feature after signing in, we send only your calculated domain and facet scores together with the topic or prompt you select (for example, job fit, communication style, or a custom question) to our backend, which forwards this information to a third-party AI provider to generate a reflective response. We do not send your item-by-item answers to any AI provider. AI-generated insights are produced automatically, may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable for your situation, and are provided for reflective, non-diagnostic purposes only. You should not treat AI Insights as professional advice of any kind.
M. Third-Party Services
The Service relies on third-party providers, including database/backend hosting, cloud infrastructure, and AI providers. These providers may include Supabase and OpenAI. We are not responsible for interruptions, outages, errors, delays, quality issues, policy changes, or data handling practices caused by third-party services, and we may change providers at any time without prior notice.
N. Self-Report and Norm Data
Percentile and norm-based interpretations rely on published third-party normative data and on demographic information (such as age and biological sex) that you may optionally and voluntarily provide; this information is always skippable. We do not guarantee the accuracy, currency, or applicability of any norm-based result to your individual circumstances. All results are self-report based and reflect how you rated yourself at the time of the assessment.
O. Apple App Store Additional Terms
If you downloaded IPIP-300 from the Apple App Store, the following additional terms apply: (1) these Terms are between you and Omu Labs Limited, not Apple; (2) Apple is not responsible for the App or its content; (3) we, not Apple, are responsible for providing any maintenance and support for the App, except where applicable law requires otherwise; (4) Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support services for the App; (5) to the extent any warranty exists under applicable law that cannot be disclaimed, Apple may refund the purchase price, if any, of the App, and Apple will have no further warranty obligation to the maximum extent permitted by law; (6) we, not Apple, are responsible for addressing claims relating to the App, including product liability claims, legal compliance claims, consumer protection claims, or intellectual property claims; and (7) Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary where applicable.
P. Scope of License
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and use IPIP-300 for personal, non-commercial purposes on devices that you own or control, subject to applicable platform usage rules, including Apple App Store usage rules where applicable. You may not sublicense, rent, lease, lend, sell, distribute, or commercially exploit the App or any part of the Service.
Q. Legal Compliance
You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country or region that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country or region, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You also agree to comply with all applicable third-party terms when using the Service.
R. Privacy
Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle information in connection with IPIP-300. By using the Service, you acknowledge the practices described in our Privacy Policy.
S. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT, INCLUDING ANY SCORES, INTERPRETATIONS, OR AI-GENERATED INSIGHTS, ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR UNINTERRUPTED OPERATION, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE SECURE, ERROR-FREE, AVAILABLE AT ALL TIMES, OR FREE FROM VULNERABILITIES OR HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
T. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OMU LABS LIMITED SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, OR ANY DECISION MADE IN RELIANCE ON YOUR RESULTS. THIS INCLUDES LOSS OF DATA, INCLUDING LOCALLY STORED ANSWERS AND PROGRESS, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO US WITHIN THE THREE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM; OR (B) USD $50.
U. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time by deleting the App from your device. Because core features of IPIP-300 do not require an account, there is often no account to close; if you created one, you may delete it from Settings. We reserve the right to suspend, restrict, discontinue, or terminate access to the Service or any feature at any time if we reasonably believe there has been misuse, legal risk, security risk, operational necessity, or violation of these Terms.
V. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in the App, legal obligations, operational practices, AI or hosting providers, platform rules, or functionality. Updated versions will be posted within the Service together with a revised “Last Updated” date. Continued use of the Service following updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
W. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by applicable law in the jurisdiction in which we operate, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where local consumer-protection law provides otherwise.
