Terms and conditions — “Beautiful Lies — Polygraph Test”

1. Who we are

The Service is provided by Dragoș Cătălin, Romania (“we”).

[OPERATOR: denumire, CUI, adresă — de completat de proprietar]

Contact: contact@dragoscatalin.ro · personal data: privacy@dragoscatalin.ro.

By using the Service you accept these terms and the Privacy policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. It is only a game

2.1. The Service is a party game that shows how strongly a player's body reacts (heart rate, inter-beat intervals, pulse waveform, electrodermal activity, movement) compared with that player's own calm baseline.

2.2. The Service does not detect lies and cannot establish whether a person tells the truth. Emotion, surprise, embarrassment, laughter, coffee or movement change the signals regardless of the truth. A result may be “inconclusive”.

2.3. The score is computed with fixed, human-written rules (no machine-learning models). Every result carries the label “Game – not evidence”.

3. No evidential value

Results, charts, replays, summaries and exports have no evidential value and may not be used as proof or as an indication in any proceeding or decision — judicial, criminal, administrative, disciplinary, employment, insurance, credit or private (including in couples or families).

4. Prohibited uses

You must not use the Service:

a) at work: in recruitment, selection, evaluation, monitoring, promotion or sanctioning of employees, contractors or candidates;

b) in education: in schools, universities, courses, exams or any educational or training setting;

c) to accuse, check on or pressure a partner, family member or anyone else, or to make or support decisions about a relationship;

d) in inquiries, interrogations, private investigations, legal or insurance proceedings;

e) on a person without their free, informed and explicit consent, including the person wearing the watch (consent is given on the watch, each session), or on a person who cannot freely refuse (e.g. in a relationship of subordination or under the influence of alcohol or other substances);

f) on minors (under 18);

g) to diagnose, monitor or treat any condition;

h) to harass, humiliate, blackmail or discriminate against anyone, including through names entered in the game room;

i) to circumvent the Service's technical measures (e.g. watch consent, usage limits or purchase verification), to decompile the apps beyond what the law allows, or to use the Service in an automated way or commercially without our written consent.

Points (a) and (b) also reflect Article 5(1)(f) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 on artificial intelligence, which prohibits inferring emotions in the workplace and in education institutions. Breaching them may lead to suspension or closure of the account (section 12), and liability for prohibited use lies solely with the user.

5. Consent and safety

5.1. Everyone who wears the watch must give explicit consent on the watch and can stop the game at any time with the “Stop” button. Respect anyone's refusal to play or to answer a question; use skip tokens and the blocked-topics list.

5.2. Do not use results to insult, pressure or accuse anyone. Results do not say who is lying.

5.3. Do not play if you have heart, blood-pressure, severe anxiety or other conditions that strong emotions may worsen, without a doctor's advice. Stop the game if someone feels unwell.

6. Not a medical device

The Service is not a medical device within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2017/745, gives no diagnosis, does not monitor health and must not be used for health decisions. Displayed values may be inaccurate. For any health concern, consult a doctor or other healthcare professional.

7. Minimum age

You must be at least 18 years old. You confirm your age on first launch. We may close an account we learn belongs to a minor.

8. Account

8.1. You can play without an account. An account (email and password, or Google) is needed for purchases, game rooms and AI features.

8.2. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for activity in your account. Tell us immediately about any unauthorised use.

8.3. You can delete your account at any time, in the app or by email (steps). Deleting the account does not cancel a Google Play subscription automatically: cancel it in Google Play first.

9. Purchases through Google Play

9.1. Offer: the core game is free, with no ads. Optionally you can buy:

• Party Pass — one-time payment, lifetime access (for as long as the Service is offered) to every question pack, game rooms with browser voting, OBS overlay and AI-generated questions;
• Research Lab — yearly auto-renewing subscription: Lab mode, CSV export (and research formats as they become available), raw signals; includes Party Pass entitlements while active.

9.2. Price is the one shown in Google Play before confirmation, all taxes included, in your country's currency. Payment is processed by Google Play, the merchant of record, which issues the payment documents. Google Play's terms also apply.

9.3. The Research Lab subscription renews automatically at the end of each year at the then-current price until you cancel it in Google Play (Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period. Google Play notifies you before any price increase under its rules.

9.4. Right of withdrawal (Romanian GEO 34/2014). As a consumer you generally have 14 days to withdraw from a distance contract. Party Pass and Research Lab are digital content supplied immediately, not on a tangible medium. At purchase we ask for your express consent to immediate access and your acknowledgement that, once access starts, you lose the right of withdrawal (art. 16(m) GEO 34/2014). Confirmation of this consent is sent to you on a durable medium (the Google Play confirmation email and the in-app confirmation screen). If you do not consent, access is not activated.

9.5. Refunds: refund requests go through Google Play, under the Google Play refund policy (play.google.com → Order history). If Google refunds or voids a purchase, the related entitlement is removed. This does not limit your statutory rights (section 10).

9.6. Restore: entitlements are tied to your account. Restore them on another phone by signing in with the same account (Account → Restore purchases).

10. Conformity and legal guarantee

Digital content must conform to the contract under Romanian GEO 141/2021 (Directive (EU) 2019/770). If a paid feature does not work as described, write to us: we will fix it, and if we cannot, you are entitled to a price reduction or to terminate the contract and get a refund, as provided by law. We provide the updates needed to keep it conforming.

Measurement quality depends on the watch, sensors, fit on the wrist and movement. The compatibility tiers are shown in Google Play and on the website; the app tells you which tier it detected.

11. AI-generated content

AI-generated questions and summaries (optional, with consent) are labelled “AI-generated”, may contain mistakes and do not express our opinion. You can edit or ignore them. Do not enter names or personal data in themes.

12. Game room

12.1. The host is responsible for who receives the room code. Spectators pick a name on entry; do not use offensive or misleading names or other people's data.

12.2. We may close a room and suspend or close an account that breaches these terms, informing you and stating the reason, unless the law forbids it. You can contest the decision at contact@dragoscatalin.ro; we answer within 30 days. You can report illegal content in rooms to the same address (single point of contact, Regulation (EU) 2022/2065).

13. Intellectual property

The apps, website, questions, design and marks are protected. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service privately and non-commercially. Open-source components are licensed under their own licences (listed in the app).

14. Availability and changes to the Service

The Service is provided “as is”. We may change features, questions or compatibility; we will not remove an essential paid feature without notice and, where the change affects you negatively, without offering you the right to terminate and a proportional refund, under GEO 141/2021. Server-dependent features (account, AI, rooms, replays) may be temporarily unavailable.

15. Liability

15.1. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for: decisions made based on results; conflicts, disputes or harm between players; prohibited use of the Service (section 4); indirect losses; data lost from the phone after deletion, uninstall or loss of the device.

15.2. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury, for wilful misconduct or gross negligence, or the consumer rights you have that cannot be limited by contract.

16. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms for legal, security or product reasons. We will notify you in the app at least 30 days before significant changes. If you disagree you may stop using the Service and delete your account; you can cancel a subscription before renewal.

17. Governing law and disputes

17.1. These terms are governed by Romanian law. If you are a consumer residing in another EU member state, you also keep the protection of the mandatory rules of your country.

17.2. We try to settle any complaint sent to contact@dragoscatalin.ro amicably within 30 days.

17.3. ANPC and ADR. You may file a complaint with the Romanian National Authority for Consumer Protection (ANPC), www.anpc.ro, and use alternative dispute resolution (ADR/SAL): https://reclamatiisal.anpc.ro. The EU ODR platform closed on 20 July 2025 (Regulation (EU) 2024/3228).

17.4. Failing an amicable solution, disputes go to the competent courts of Romania or, for consumers, the court of the consumer's domicile, as provided by law.

18. Miscellaneous

If any provision is held invalid, the others remain in force. The Romanian version prevails.
