Terms of Service.

Last updated 31 October 2026

These terms are the agreement between you and blessedby. By creating an account you accept them. Please read them; they cover how credits, refunds and payouts work.

1. About these terms

blessedby (the app and blessedby.app) is run by Dimitrios Chamarousios, an individual developer based in Annecy, France ("we", "us"). Postal address: 78 allée Primavera, Center Ubidoca, 23730 Pringy, 74370 Annecy, France. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data.

The site is hosted by Vercel Inc., 440 N Barranca Ave #4133, Covina, CA 91723, United States.

If you live in the EU or the UK, nothing in these terms takes away the rights consumer law gives you.

2. Your account

• You must be 18 or older. We check your date of birth at sign-up.
• You sign in with Apple or Google. Keep that account secure: you're responsible for what happens on your blessedby account.
• At sign-up you choose to be a simple user or a blesser. Your role can't be changed later.
• Pick a username that doesn't impersonate anyone or mislead people. Usernames are never reused: once one is changed or its account is deleted, it is retired for good, so a stamp from @anna always means the same @anna.
• Your username and profile photo are visible to everyone on blessedby. If you're a blesser, your full name is public too.
• You can change your name and your username once every 30 days. If you're a blesser, stamps you've already given keep the username they were issued with.
• Don't create accounts to get around a suspension, to rate yourself or to game credits.

3. How blessedby works

You send up to 10 photos and a question to one blesser you choose. They pick the one photo they like most and tell you why. You can then publish that photo and share its stamp.

We run the platform that connects you. A blessing is one person's opinion. Blessers are independent: they don't work for us, and we don't check or guarantee their answers. A blessing isn't professional advice, and what you do with it is up to you.

We keep improving blessedby, so features may change. If we stop offering a paid feature you've already paid for, we'll refund you.

4. Paying for a request

• Some blessers are free. For the others you pay their price, shown before you send.
• What you pay for is the blesser's answer. The stamp and its QR check come with it at no extra cost, and work for as long as blessedby runs.
• blessedby isn't a storage service. Keep your own copy of anything you want to keep.
• You can pay in credits from your in-app wallet, or pay the price directly through the App Store or Google Play. Either way, Apple or Google handles the payment; we never see your card details.
• You're charged when you send the request.
• Credits are for use in blessedby only. They have no cash value, and they can't be transferred, sold or exchanged for money. They don't expire while your account is open.
• Prices are set by each blesser and may change. A change never affects a request you've already sent.
• You can cancel a request in the first 10 minutes after sending it, by deleting it in the app, and you get the full price back in credits. After that you can still delete it, but the price isn't refunded and the blesser can't answer it. While a report about the request is being reviewed, it can't be cancelled.
• If you live in the EU or UK, by sending a request you ask us to start straight away. Once the blesser has answered, the service is complete and you can no longer cancel it under the 14-day withdrawal right.

5. Refunds

• No answer, no charge. If your blesser doesn't answer within the time shown in the app (currently 3 hours), the full price goes back to your wallet automatically.
• If a request fails because of a problem on our side, we refund it in credits.
• Refunds are in credits, not cash, even when you paid the price directly through the App Store or Google Play.
• A blesser can report a request instead of answering it. If we find the report justified (for example, the photos or question break section 9), the request is closed without a refund. If we don't, you get the full price back in credits.
• Refunds of a purchase itself (a credit pack or a direct payment) are decided by Apple or Google under their own policies. If they refund you, we remove the credits that purchase bought, or close the request it paid for.
• If you ask Apple or Google for a refund, you agree that we may share information about that purchase and its use with them (for example, that the blesser's answer was delivered), to help them decide on your request.

6. Being a blesser

Your profile

• You set your speciality, categories and price, or stay free. Your @username, full name, profile photo, profile details, price and ratings are public, including at blessedby.link/<username>.
• Use your real name and be honest about what you know. Don't claim qualifications you don't have.

Answering

• You can't turn down a request. You can let it expire, in which case the sender is refunded, or report it if it's abusive.
• Answer honestly, in your own words, within the time allowed.
• When you answer, the sender can publish the photo you chose, with a stamp showing your username and the date. Anyone with its QR or link can then see that you blessed it. The stamp itself shows only your username and the date. While your account exists, the page its QR opens also shows your public profile: full name, profile photo, speciality and rating. It stays public until the sender unpublishes it or blessedby closes, even if you later change your username or delete your account: the stamp keeps the username it was issued with, and after you delete your account the page shows only that username.
• Never ask a sender to pay you, or contact you, outside blessedby for a blessing.
• Where you appear in lists and suggestions depends on several things, including your categories, your ratings and how reliably you answer. Requests that expire unanswered can lower it. We don't sell better placement.

Earnings

• You earn on every paid request you answer. From the price the sender pays, we first take out sales tax/VAT (the rate depends on where the sender is), then the app store's fee (currently 15%), then the blessedby fee: 20% of what's left. The rest is yours. Apple and Google set their own fee and can change it at any time; a new rate applies from when they introduce it, and we can't control it or give notice of it. The Revenue screen in the app shows the breakdown for each answer.
• We'll tell you at least 15 days before we raise the blessedby fee.
• Once your balance reaches the minimum shown in the app (currently $10), you can request a withdrawal by PayPal, Wise or Revolut, or by another method if we both agree to it. A payout takes about 14 days. PayPal and Wise pay in US dollars; Revolut pays in euros, converted at the live exchange rate when it's sent. Fees charged by the payout provider and currency conversion can reduce what arrives.
• We may hold or reverse earnings tied to fraud, to abuse of these terms, or to a purchase that was refunded or charged back, and we'll tell you why.

Taxes and your status

• You use blessedby as an independent person, not as our employee or agent.
• We don't withhold income tax from payouts. You're responsible for declaring your earnings and paying any tax on them where you live.
• Where the law requires it, we may ask for tax details (such as your address, date of birth and tax ID) and report your earnings to tax authorities. We may hold payouts until you provide them.
• Each January we send you a summary of what you earned through blessedby the year before. If you live in France, see impots.gouv.fr and urssaf.fr for your tax and social security obligations.

7. Your photos

• You keep ownership of your photos and what you write, and blessers keep ownership of their answers.
• You give us permission to store, copy, process and show that content as needed to run blessedby: to send photos to your blesser, check them, create your stamp and, when you publish, show the chosen photo to people who scan its QR. The permission is worldwide and free, and it lasts until the content is deleted, except as described in the Privacy Policy. We don't use your photos to advertise blessedby without asking you.
• When you send a request, the blesser may view your photos and question to answer it, and for nothing else. They can't save, share or reuse them.
• Only upload photos you have the right to share. If other people can be recognised in them, make sure they agree.

8. Stamps

• A stamp shows that a particular blesser chose that photo on that date. It's their opinion, not an endorsement by blessedby, and it doesn't certify anything about the photo or the people in it.
• Publishing is your choice. Once you publish, anyone with the QR or its link can see the chosen photo, the blesser's username and the date. You can unpublish at any time, and the link then stops showing the photo, though we can't recall copies other people have already made.
• The QR check works for as long as blessedby runs. The blessed card image you save or share stays yours.
• Don't edit, fake or copy stamps, or use one with a photo it wasn't issued for.

9. Things you can't do

We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. Content that breaks these rules is removed, and the account that posted it can be suspended or closed (see section 11). You must not:

• Upload sexual content or nudity, violence, or anything sexualising or involving a minor.
• Harass, threaten, bully or discriminate against anyone, in requests, answers or ratings.
• Post hateful or extremist content, or encourage violence or self-harm.
• Impersonate someone or create misleading accounts.
• Upload content you don't have the rights to, someone's private information, or anything illegal.
• Manipulate ratings, game refunds or credits, or abuse payouts.
• Use blessedby to advertise, spam, scam or send people elsewhere.
• Scrape, reverse engineer, overload or interfere with the app or the site, or get around its safety checks.

10. Reports and moderation

• Every photo you upload, for a request or as a profile photo, is checked automatically by Google Cloud Vision for nudity, sexual and violent content, and a photo that fails the check is blocked. The check is automatic and can get it wrong; if a photo was blocked by mistake, contact us.
• You can block people, and report users or requests, in the app. You can also report content, including a published stamp, to support@blessedby.app. We review reports promptly. To decide on a report, a person from blessedby may look at the photos, question and answer involved, even if they were private.
• We can remove content, close requests, or limit or suspend accounts that break these terms or the law. When we do, we'll tell you what we did and why, unless the law or someone's safety stops us.
• If you think we got it wrong, reply to that message or email support@blessedby.app within 6 months and a person will look at it again.

11. Suspension and deleting your account

You can delete your account at any time; see Delete your account. When you do:

• Your unused credits are lost, including credits paid for requests still waiting for an answer.
• If you're a blesser, withdraw your earnings first. If your balance is below the minimum, email support@blessedby.app before deleting and we'll pay it out. The app warns you before you delete; earnings you haven't asked for are lost.
• Requests waiting for your answer expire as usual, and their senders are refunded.
• What happens to your data is explained in the Privacy Policy.

We may suspend or close your account if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, if the law requires it, or if you put other people at risk. Where we reasonably can, we'll warn you first. If we close your account and you haven't broken these terms, we'll refund your unused credits and pay out your earnings.

12. Closing blessedby

If we decide to close blessedby, we'll tell you in the app at least 30 days before. We'll stop selling credits as soon as we announce it, refund unused credits on request, and pay blessers their full balance, even below the minimum. During the notice period you can save your photos, answers and blessed cards. When the service closes, we delete your data, except the payment records the law requires us to keep. Shared stamps stop working at that point.

13. Apple and Google

If you got blessedby from the App Store or Google Play, their terms also apply to your download and purchases. These terms are between you and us, not Apple or Google. We, not they, are responsible for blessedby, its content, support and any claims about it. Apple and its subsidiaries may enforce these terms against you as a third party.

14. Disclaimers and liability

We work to keep blessedby running and accurate, but we can't promise it will always be available or error-free. Blessings and ratings come from other users, and we aren't responsible for them.

We're responsible for losses caused by our failure to meet these terms, as the law provides. We're not responsible for losses we couldn't reasonably have foreseen, for what you decide to do based on a blessing, or for losses caused by other users, except where the law says otherwise.

If you break these terms and that leads to a claim against us by someone else, such as the person in a photo you didn't have the right to upload, you're responsible for it.

15. Changes, law and contact

If we change these terms in a way that matters, we'll tell you in the app at least 15 days before it takes effect. If you don't agree, you can delete your account before then; if you keep using blessedby, the new terms apply.

These terms are governed by French law. If you're a consumer living elsewhere in the EU or in the UK, you also keep the protection of your own country's mandatory laws and can bring a claim in your local courts.

If you have a complaint, write to us first at support@blessedby.app and we'll try to settle it. You can also go to court.

If part of these terms turns out to be invalid, the rest still applies. If we don't enforce a term right away, we can still enforce it later.
