Welcome to Real Photos. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our mobile application, website, and related services (collectively, the "Services"). By using the Services, you agree to be legally bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you may not use the Services.

1. OVERVIEW

Real Photos enables you to:

  • Capture and verify photographs as authentic and unedited;
  • Mint verified images as NFTs;
  • Manage a built-in, self-custodial crypto wallet;
  • Swap NFTs via a non-custodial peer-to-peer marketplace.

These services rely on blockchain and cryptographic systems that involve significant financial and operational risk.

2. ELIGIBILITY

You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement. You are solely responsible for compliance with the laws applicable in your jurisdiction.

3. SELF-CUSTODIAL WALLET TERMS

Our platform provides access to a non-custodial crypto wallet:

  • You are the only party with access to your private keys or recovery phrase.
  • We do not store, recover, or control your wallet, funds, or NFTs.
  • If you lose your keys or your device is compromised, your assets may be permanently lost.

⚠️ You are fully responsible for safeguarding your wallet credentials. Real Photos bears no liability for asset loss or security breaches.

4. NFT MINTING TERMS

You may mint verified photos as NFTs through our platform. By doing so, you represent and warrant that:

  • You are the rightful owner of all rights to the content;
  • The image is not AI-generated, manipulated, or deceptive;

We do not guarantee legal protection, resale value, or third-party recognition of NFTs minted on Real Photos.

5. NFT SWAP & MARKETPLACE TERMS

Our non-custodial NFT marketplace allows peer-to-peer swaps:
