Terms of Use

Effective date: 23 July 2026 · Last updated: 23 July 2026

1. Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Daniel Onadipe (“we”, “us”, “our”) governing your use of the DUMB AI mobile application, the DUMB AI website at https://getdumb.app, and any related services (together, the “App”).

By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

This agreement is between you and Daniel Onadipe only, and not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”). See Section 15 for terms that apply specifically because the App is distributed through the App Store.

2. What DUMB AI is — and what it is not

DUMB AI is a comedy and entertainment product. Every answer it produces is deliberately, knowingly false.

The App is designed to generate confidently-stated wrong answers, invented “facts”, fabricated citations, fictional sources, and absurd reasoning, delivered by comic characters (“personas”). This is the entire point of the product. Nothing the App produces is intended to be accurate, truthful, or reliable, and nothing in it is checked for accuracy.

You acknowledge and agree that:

• No advice. Content generated by the App is not, and must never be treated as, medical, legal, financial, tax, psychological, safety, nutritional, engineering, or professional advice of any kind.

• No reliance. You must not rely on any output of the App for any decision, action, or omission that could affect your health, safety, finances, legal position, property, or the health, safety, finances, legal position or property of anyone else.

• Features that imitate verification are also jokes. Any feature that appears to search the web, cite sources, show arithmetic working, reason step by step, verify or “fact check” an answer, or mark an answer as correct or verified, is part of the comedy. Any sources, citations, references, statistics, quotations, working, or verification badges the App displays are fabricated and do not refer to real documents, studies, or people.

• Memory is wrong too. The App may retain and display statements it claims to have learned about you. These are generated for comic effect and are not a factual record of anything. You can delete them individually or all at once from inside the App.

• Games are for entertainment. Any scores, ranks, ratings, or measurements the App assigns to you are fictional and measure nothing.

If you need real information, consult a qualified professional or a genuine source.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, if higher) to use the App. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the App only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.

The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly permit them to use it.

4. Licence

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to download and use one copy of the App on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service and Apple’s Usage Rules.

You may not:

• copy, modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the App;

• reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code, prompts, model instructions, or internal logic of the App or its backend, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law;

• rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, distribute, or otherwise transfer the App or your access to it;

• remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notice or branding, including on images the App generates for sharing;

• access the App or its backend by any means other than the App itself, including scraping, automated scripts, or unofficial clients;

• circumvent, disable, or interfere with rate limits, usage allowances, paywalls, entitlement checks, security features, or any measure that restricts access to paid features;

• use the App to build, train, evaluate, or benchmark a competing product or machine-learning model.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to submit to the App, or use the App to generate, any content that:

• is unlawful, or that promotes, facilitates, or instructs anyone in unlawful activity;

• harasses, bullies, threatens, defames, or targets a real, identifiable person;

• promotes hatred against, or dehumanises, any individual or group on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, or any other protected characteristic;

• sexualises minors in any way;

• is designed to elicit content that could cause real-world harm if acted upon — for example instructions concerning weapons, self-harm, dangerous chemistry, or the evasion of medical or safety measures — including where the request is framed as a joke;

• infringes anyone’s intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights;

• contains malware, or is intended to disrupt, overload, or gain unauthorised access to our systems or any third party’s systems.

You also agree not to present output of the App as a genuine statement of fact by us, by any real person, or by any real organisation, or to strip the App’s branding from generated images in order to pass them off as authentic. Whether content produced by the App breaches these rules is determined by us, acting reasonably.

6. Your content

“Your Content” means the messages, questions, prompts, and other material you submit to the App.

You keep ownership of Your Content. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, transmit, and process Your Content solely to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the App and to generate responses for you. This licence ends when Your Content is deleted, except for copies retained in routine backups or as required by law.

Do not submit sensitive information. Your messages are transmitted to our servers and to a third-party artificial-intelligence provider that generates the response. Do not enter passwords, payment details, government identifiers, health information, or anything else confidential. You are responsible for Your Content and confirm you have the rights necessary to submit it.

7. Generated content and sharing

Subject to these Terms and to applicable law, you may use, save, and share the responses and share images the App generates for you, including on social media.

You acknowledge that generated output is produced by an automated system, is intentionally false, may be similar or identical to output generated for other users, and may not be eligible for copyright protection in some jurisdictions. We make no claim of ownership over output generated for you, and we do not warrant that any output is original or free of third-party rights.

If you share generated content publicly, do not remove the DUMB AI branding, and do not present it as a real fact, a real quotation, or a statement by a real person or organisation.

8. Subscriptions and payment

The App offers a free tier with limited usage, and an optional paid subscription (“DUMB AI Pro”) that removes limits and unlocks additional content.

• Prices and terms. The price, currency, billing period, and any introductory or trial offer are shown in the App at the point of purchase, before you confirm. Prices vary by country and may change; any change will be disclosed to you as required by Apple and by law, and will not apply to the period you have already paid for.

• Billing. Payment is charged to your Apple Account on confirmation of purchase. All purchases are processed by Apple; we never receive or store your payment card details.

• Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the current period ends.

• Managing and cancelling. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple Account settings on your device. Deleting the App does not cancel your subscription.

• Free trials. If a free trial is offered and you purchase a subscription during the trial, any unused portion of the trial is forfeited.

• Refunds. Purchases are handled by Apple, so refunds are governed by Apple’s policies and requested from Apple, not from us. Where you have a statutory right to cancel or to a refund under the law of your country, that right is unaffected by this paragraph.

• Restoring purchases. If you reinstall the App or use a new device, you can restore an active subscription from within the App using the same Apple Account that bought it.

9. Usage limits and availability

The App applies usage limits, including limits on how much free users can do in a day. These limits are enforced by our servers, and we may change them, or change what is included in the free and paid tiers, at any time.

We may add, change, suspend, or remove features, personas, or other content at any time, and we do not guarantee that any particular persona or feature will remain available. We aim to keep the App available but do not promise uninterrupted or error-free operation; the App depends on third-party services, including Apple and our AI provider, which may themselves be interrupted.

If we make a material reduction to what an active paid subscription includes, you may cancel your subscription as described in Section 8.

10. Intellectual property

The App, its name, logo, design, artwork, personas, characters, copy, prompts, and software are owned by Daniel Onadipe or their licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the licence in Section 4, no rights are granted to you.

Names of real people, brands, or organisations that may appear in generated output are used, if at all, incidentally and for parody, satire, and comment. We do not claim any affiliation with, sponsorship by, or endorsement from any third party. If you believe content in the App infringes your rights, contact us at dumbo@getdumb.app and we will review it promptly.

11. Third-party services

The App relies on third-party services, including Apple’s App Store and in-app purchase system, a subscription-management provider, our hosting provider, and an artificial-intelligence provider that generates responses. Your use of the App is also subject to those providers’ terms where they apply to you. We are not responsible for third-party services and do not control them.

12. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it. Cancelling a subscription is separate, and is done through your Apple Account settings.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App or to particular features, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms, if we reasonably suspect fraud or abuse, or if required by law or by a third-party provider. Where it is reasonable to do so, we will give you notice first. If we terminate your access without cause while you hold an active paid subscription, you may seek a pro-rata refund of the unused portion through Apple.

Sections 2, 6, 7, 10, 13, 14, 15, and 16 survive termination.

13. Disclaimers

The App is provided “as is” and “as available”, and its output is intentionally false.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, and quiet enjoyment. We do not warrant that the App will meet your requirements, be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that any defect will be corrected.

We expressly make no warranty of any kind as to the accuracy, truth, reliability, completeness, or fitness for any purpose of any content the App generates, because the App is designed to generate content that is not accurate, true, reliable, or complete.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. Where that is the case, the exclusions above apply only to the extent permitted, and you may have rights that these Terms cannot limit. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

14. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, and subject to the final paragraph of Section 13:

• we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or relating to the App, whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise, and whether or not we were advised of the possibility of such damages;

• we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your reliance on, or any action taken or not taken on the basis of, content generated by the App;

• our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the App is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us, or paid Apple for the App, in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD 50.

15. Apple-specific terms

The following apply because the App is distributed through the App Store:

1. These Terms are between you and Daniel Onadipe only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.

2. The licence in Section 4 is limited to a non-transferable licence to use the App on any Apple-branded product that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the App Store Terms of Service, except that the App may be accessed by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing.

3. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support services for the App. Support requests should go to dumbo@getdumb.app.

4. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the App to you (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are our responsibility.

5. We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession and use of it, including product liability claims, any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.

6. We, not Apple, are responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of it infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights.

7. You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

8. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.

16. General

• Changes to these Terms. We may update these Terms. If a change is material, we will give reasonable notice, for example in the App or on the website, before it takes effect. Continuing to use the App after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the App and cancel any subscription.

• Privacy. Our handling of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy at https://getdumb.app/privacy, which forms part of your agreement with us.

• Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of Nigeria, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The courts of Nigeria have exclusive jurisdiction, except that if you are a consumer resident elsewhere, you keep the benefit of any mandatory protections and any right to bring proceedings in the courts of your own country of residence.

• Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions stay in force.

• No waiver. A failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.

• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, on notice to you.

• Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App, and supersede any prior understanding.
