Effective Date: February 15, 2026

1. Introduction and Acceptance

Welcome to Velocity (the "App"), a mobile application operated by Camellia Studio ("Company," "we," "our," or "us"). The App is available on iOS and Android platforms and provides AI-curated startup and technology news content (the "Services").

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you ("you" or "User") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not download, install, or use the App. Your continued use of the App following any changes to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of such changes.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, govern your access to and use of the Services. By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by both these Terms and the Privacy Policy.

If you are using the App on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and "you" and "your" shall refer to that organization.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age to use the App. If you are between 13 and 18 years of age (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction), you may only use the App with the consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf.

By using the App, you represent and warrant that:

• You meet the minimum age requirement stated above;
• You have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement;
• You are not barred from using the App under any applicable law; and
• All information you provide to us is truthful, accurate, and complete.

3. Description of Services

Velocity is an AI-powered startup and technology news application. The Services include:

• News Content. AI-generated summaries and articles covering startup and technology news, including but not limited to funding rounds, product launches, acquisitions, partnerships, milestones, IPOs, and company expansions. All content is generated using artificial intelligence and undergoes human editorial review prior to publication.
• Company Profiles. Information about companies featured in the news, including descriptions, headquarters, sectors, and other publicly available data.
• Search and Archive. The ability to search and browse current and historical news content.
• Bookmarks. The ability to save stories for later reading.
• Push Notifications. Optional alerts about newly published stories.
• Premium Features. Enhanced access to content and features available through a paid subscription, as described in Section 6.

The Company reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Services at any time, with or without notice, and without liability to you.

4. AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

AI-Generated Nature. The news content, summaries, company profiles, and other informational materials provided through the App are generated, in whole or in part, using artificial intelligence technologies, including third-party AI services. While we employ human editorial review processes, the underlying content is produced by automated systems.

No Guarantee of Accuracy. AI-generated content may contain errors, inaccuracies, omissions, outdated information, or misleading statements. This includes, without limitation, inaccurate financial data (such as funding amounts, valuations, or revenue figures), incorrect company information, misattributed quotes, or factual errors about events, individuals, or entities.

Not Professional Advice. The content provided through the App is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute financial, investment, trading, legal, tax, or business advice. You should not make any financial, investment, business, or legal decisions based solely on the content provided through the App. Always seek the advice of qualified professionals before making such decisions.

No Endorsement. Coverage of any company, product, service, or individual in the App does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or approval by the Company.

Assumption of Risk. You expressly acknowledge and agree that your use of and reliance on any content provided through the App is at your sole risk. The Company shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or harm arising from your reliance on AI-generated content.

5. User Accounts and Registration

Account-Free Use. Certain features of the App may be used without creating an account. The App does not require user registration for general use.

Subscriptions. Access to premium features requires a subscription managed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Your subscription is tied to your Apple ID or Google account and is governed by the applicable store's terms in addition to these Terms.

Responsibility. You are solely responsible for all activity occurring on your device in connection with the App, and for maintaining the security of your device and any credentials associated with your subscription.

6. Subscriptions, Payments, and Billing

Subscription Plans. The App offers both free and premium subscription tiers. The free tier provides limited access to content. Premium subscriptions unlock the full range of features, including unlimited story access, archive, search, and bookmarks.

Pricing. Subscription pricing is displayed within the App and on the applicable app store at the time of purchase. All prices are inclusive of applicable taxes unless otherwise stated. We reserve the right to change subscription pricing at any time, with changes taking effect at the start of your next billing cycle.

Billing and Auto-Renewal. Premium subscriptions are billed through your Apple App Store or Google Play Store account. Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period (monthly or annually, as applicable) unless you cancel before the renewal date.

Free Trials. We may offer free trial periods for premium subscriptions. If you do not cancel before the end of the trial period, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription.

Cancellation. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple App Store or Google Play Store account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period, and you will retain access to premium features until that date. No refunds or credits will be issued for partial billing periods.

Refunds. All purchases are processed by and subject to the refund policies of the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. We do not directly process payments or issue refunds. Refund requests must be directed to the applicable app store.
