Terms of Service

Effective Date: April 30, 2026Last Updated: September 8, 2026 (Version: 2026-09-08)

1. Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service govern your use of the Taiyaar mobile application ("App") operated by Built by Foundry, Inc. ("BBF"). By accessing or using the App, you agree to these Terms generally and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please uninstall the App.However, the Arbitration Agreement, class-action waiver, and jury-trial waiver apply only if you affirmatively accept them through an unchecked checkbox and acceptance control presented with links to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. Merely downloading, installing, accessing, or continuing to use the App does not constitute acceptance of the Arbitration Agreement.Age Requirement: You must be at least 13 years old to use Taiyaar. If you're 13-17, review these Terms with a parent or guardian.

2. About Taiyaar

Taiyaar is an iOS application that helps the South Asian diaspora swipe through Indian outfit looks curated by Tavi Gandhi (@tavigandhi), save favorites to account-backed event-specific boards with custom labels, and tap through to third-party retailers who ship internationally.
Not a Retailer or Marketplace: Taiyaar curates and links to looks sold by third-party South Asian fashion retailers. BBF is not the seller of any item shown in the App. We do not process your order, accept your payment, ship your garment, handle returns or exchanges, or provide retailer customer service. Sizing charts, fabric specifics, color accuracy, lead times, customs and duties, return windows, and refund policies are determined by the retailer. Always read the retailer's product page and terms before ordering. BBF is not responsible for retailer errors, delays, damages, or disputes; those are between you and the retailer.
Catalog and Vendor Image Rights: Catalog imagery and product copy shown in the swipe feed are licensed from the underlying retailers and remain their property. You receive a personal, non-commercial license to view that imagery inside the App only. Do not screenshot at scale, screen-record, scrape, mirror, redistribute, or rehost catalog imagery, vendor data, or any other content shown in the App for any purpose other than personal browsing.

3. Accounts

The App may let you use it without an account or may offer sign-in through the App, Apple, Google, or another provider. You must provide accurate information, keep your device and credentials secure, and promptly report unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity through your account unless applicable law says otherwise.

4. Premium Subscriptions and Billing

Price, billing period, trial terms, and renewal details appear on the purchase screen before you confirm. The app store processes payment and controls cancellation and refunds under its rules and applicable law. Unless the purchase screen says otherwise, a subscription renews automatically until canceled through your app-store account and access continues through the paid period after cancellation.No paid plans in V1: Taiyaar V1 is free to download and use. There are no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no auto-renewing tiers, and no paid feature gates in this version.Future changes: We may introduce paid features in a future release. If we do, we will update these Terms before any charge is made and will follow Apple App Store rules for in-app purchases, free trials, auto-renewal disclosure, cancellation, and refunds. Any future paid plan would be processed by the Apple App Store, and refund requests would be handled by Apple at https://reportaproblem.apple.com/. BBF would not be able to issue store-purchase refunds directly.

5. App Stores and Third-Party Services

Apple App Store: If you obtained the App through the Apple App Store, your license to the App is governed by Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement ("Apple Standard EULA"). These Terms govern BBF accounts, subscriptions, server-side services, content, and conduct. They supplement the Apple Standard EULA but do not amend, replace, or supersede it. If these Terms conflict with the Apple Standard EULA concerning the App license, warranties, External Services, termination, damages exclusions, or limitation of liability, the Apple Standard EULA controls. Nothing in these Terms increases BBF’s obligations or liability under the Apple Standard EULA.Google Play and any other distribution platform's applicable terms also apply. Third-party services have their own terms and privacy practices. BBF is not responsible for services BBF does not control.

6. User Content

Your content and activity: You retain ownership of free-text labels and other original content you create. You grant BBF a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, transmit, process, display, analyze, aggregate, and de-identify content and activity only as reasonably needed to operate, secure, support, personalize, and improve Taiyaar and its ranking and recommendation features. This license ends when the content is deleted, except for de-identified information and copies retained as law permits.Vendor catalog: Look imagery and product information shown in the swipe feed are licensed from the underlying retailers and remain their property. You receive a personal, non-commercial license to view that content inside the App only.Tavi's content: Tavi Gandhi's name, @tavigandhi handle, likeness, brand marks, curation choices, curator notes, and other creator-authored content remain her property and are licensed for personal, non-commercial use inside the App. You may not extract, scrape, redistribute, repackage, resell, rehost, train or evaluate a model on, imitate, or use that content to imply an endorsement without permission.Content standards: Do not submit content that infringes another person's rights; is unlawful, hateful, harassing, defamatory, or sexually explicit; contains malware or circumvention material; or contains another person's private information. Deletion is handled as described in the Privacy Policy.

7. Acceptable Use

You will use Taiyaar only for lawful, personal, non-commercial purposes. You will not (a) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the App except to the extent that this restriction is prohibited by law, (b) use any robot, spider, scraper, or other automated means to access the App, the catalog, the curator notes, or any other content, (c) interfere with, disrupt, probe, or test the security of the App or its supporting infrastructure, (d) use the App, its catalog, its curator notes, or any data drawn from it to build a competing product, dataset, or model, (e) submit content on behalf of someone else without authorization, (f) use the App in any country or to any person where doing so is prohibited by U.S. or other applicable export, sanctions, or trade laws, or (g) use the App in any other manner that violates these Terms or applicable law. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access for any violation.

8. Protected Content and Prohibited Uses

You may not use the App, its data, or its content to build a competing product, or scrape, mirror, extract, reproduce, redistribute, repackage, resell, or rehost catalog imagery, vendor data, Tavi Gandhi's name, handle, likeness, curation, curator notes, or other creator content. You also may not train, fine-tune, or evaluate a model on that protected content. BBF, Tavi Gandhi, the participating retailers, and their licensors retain all right, title, and interest in the App and protected content. Tavi Gandhi is an intended third-party beneficiary of the protections in this section and may enforce them. These restrictions supplement the license supplied by the applicable app store and do not replace or modify it.

9. Third-Party Retailers

When you tap a vendor link inside Taiyaar, you leave the App and enter a third-party retailer's website. Your interactions with that retailer (including account creation, ordering, payment, shipping, customs, duties, returns, and customer service) are governed entirely by that retailer's terms and privacy policy, not BBF's. BBF has no control over retailer pricing, inventory, lead times, fulfillment, or product quality. We surface vendors that ship to the country you selected during onboarding, but we cannot guarantee any specific shipping outcome. Any claim, complaint, or dispute about an item or an order is between you and the retailer.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE APP AND THE CATALOG ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, OR THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE. BBF, TAVI GANDHI, AND OUR LICENSORS DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY OUTFIT SHOWN IN THE APP IS IN STOCK, AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT TO YOUR ADDRESS, ACCURATELY DESCRIBED, OR FREE OF DEFECTS. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION OBTAINED THROUGH THE APP CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY MADE IN THESE TERMS.

11. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless BBF, Tavi Gandhi, and our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to (a) your violation of these Terms, (b) your misuse of the App, (c) your violation of any applicable law or third-party right (including any retailer's terms), or (d) any content you submit to the App.

12. Intellectual Property

BBF and its licensors own the App, trademarks, and provided content. For an App obtained through the Apple App Store, the Apple Standard EULA supplies your license to the App; these Terms do not grant a separate or broader App license. For an App distributed through another platform, BBF grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable license to use the App as permitted by these Terms and that platform's rules. No other rights are granted.

13. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you materially or repeatedly violate these Terms, create risk or legal exposure, or if we discontinue the App. Where practical, we will give reasonable notice. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination—including ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, and disputes—will survive.

14. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you will defend and indemnify BBF and its directors, officers, employees, and partners from third-party claims arising from your unlawful misuse of the App, your violation of these Terms, or content you submit. This does not require you to indemnify anyone for their own negligence or unlawful conduct.

15. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available." BBF disclaims implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. BBF does not promise the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that its content will always be accurate.To the fullest extent permitted by law, BBF will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, goodwill, or use.Apple-distributed Apps: To the fullest extent permitted by law, BBF’s total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to an App obtained through the Apple App Store, its related services, these Terms, or the Apple Standard EULA—taken together under all legal theories—will not exceed the lesser of (a) $50 USD or (b) any lower aggregate limit provided by the Apple Standard EULA. This is one combined aggregate limit, not a separate limit under each agreement, claim, or theory. Nothing in these Terms increases or supplements the liability available under the Apple Standard EULA.Other platforms and services: For claims unrelated to an Apple-distributed App, BBF’s total aggregate liability will not exceed the greater of $100 USD or the amount you paid for the applicable service during the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.These exclusions do not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by negligence where applicable. Your non-waivable consumer rights remain in effect.If you experience harm related to App content, report it to support@builtbyfoundry.io. BBF will investigate and take appropriate action.

16. Dispute Resolution

Before starting a formal claim, send a written notice describing the dispute and requested relief to support@builtbyfoundry.io . The parties will try in good faith to resolve it for 30 days. Either party may still seek urgent injunctive relief when necessary.

US Residents

Applicability and affirmative acceptance: This Arbitration Agreement applies only if you are an adult user in the United States and BBF’s records demonstrate that you affirmatively accepted this version through the acceptance process described above. If BBF cannot produce that record, neither party is required to arbitrate under these Terms, and the class-action and jury-trial waivers in this section do not apply.Individual arbitration: Except for an eligible individual small claims case or a claim for injunctive relief concerning misuse of intellectual property, any dispute will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this clause. The hearing may occur by video, in your county, or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitrator may award the same individual remedies as a court.Class and jury waiver: You and BBF waive any right to a jury trial and to bring or participate in a class, consolidated, representative, or private-attorney-general action. If a court finally finds the class-action waiver unenforceable for a particular claim, only that claim may proceed in court.Opt-Out: Email support@builtbyfoundry.io within 30 days after the date you affirmatively accepted this Arbitration Agreement, with "Arbitration Opt-Out" in the subject line. Include the email address or other account identifier you used when accepting so BBF can match your notice.

Users outside the United States

The arbitration and class-waiver terms in this section do not apply to users outside the United States. You may bring a claim in the courts where you live and retain any non-waivable local consumer protections.

Governing law

Delaware law governs these Terms, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs arbitration and mandatory law where you live may still apply.

17. Assignment and Corporate Transactions

BBF may assign or transfer these Terms and any rights or obligations under them, in whole or in part, without your consent, to an affiliate or successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, change of control, sale of the App or relevant business line, sale of all or substantially all relevant assets, or operation of law. Any assignee will take these Terms subject to the obligations applicable to it, and BBF will provide any notice required by law. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without BBF’s prior written consent. Any attempted transfer contrary to this section is void. Any transfer of personal information remains subject to the Privacy Policy and applicable law.

18. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms as the App or law changes. We will post the revised Terms and update the date above. If a change materially reduces your rights, we will give reasonable advance notice where required. Changes apply prospectively. If you do not agree, stop using the App before the revised Terms take effect. A revised Arbitration Agreement applies only if you affirmatively accept that version through the acceptance process described above.
