Terms of use.

Independent discovery

NicheRitual provides fragrance information for personal exploration. It is not a perfume retailer and is not affiliated with the houses featured in the app or on this website.

Your account

You sign in with Apple. You are responsible for activity on your account and for keeping your device secure. You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age required where you live, to create an account. One account per person; do not impersonate anyone.

NicheRitual Plus

Some features, such as creating exchange listings and offers and the AI advisor, require NicheRitual Plus, an auto-renewing subscription sold through Apple’s App Store. The price and billing period are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically at the same price and period unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your Apple account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends.

You can manage or cancel the subscription in your Apple account settings (Settings, your name, Subscriptions). Deleting the app or your NicheRitual account does not cancel the subscription. If a free trial is offered, any unused part of it ends when you buy a subscription. Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies. Use Restore purchases in the app to recover an existing subscription on a new device.

Your content

You keep ownership of what you create, such as reviews, photos, diary entries and listings. You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, display and share that content as needed to operate NicheRitual, for example showing your public profile and reviews to other people. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except where content has already been shared with others (such as messages you sent) or must be kept by law. You are responsible for the content you post and must have the right to post it.

Community rules

Reviews and ratings must reflect your own honest experience. Do not post content that is hateful, harassing, threatening, sexually explicit, violent, illegal or misleading; spam or undisclosed paid promotion; other people’s personal information; or content that infringes someone else’s rights. Usernames, display names, bios and profile photos must not be offensive or impersonate another person or brand. Use the report and block tools if something is wrong.

Exchange between members

Exchange lets members list bottles and agree swaps with each other. Any agreement is made directly between the members involved; NicheRitual is not a party to it. NicheRitual does not handle shipping, payment, delivery or returns, does not hold items or money, and does not verify the authenticity, condition or legality of any item. You are responsible for describing items honestly, following the laws that apply to you (including rules on shipping perfume, which is often classed as a flammable liquid) and deciding whom to trust. Counterfeit, stolen, unsafe or illegal items are not allowed.

Moderation and suspension

We may review, hide or remove content, limit features, or suspend or close accounts that break these terms or put other people at risk, with or without prior notice where necessary. If you think we made a mistake, email [email protected] and we will take another look.

AI advisor

Advisor suggestions are generated automatically and may be inaccurate or incomplete. They are ideas for exploration, not professional advice.

Fragrance information

Descriptions are editorial and perceptions vary. Note lists are selected scent descriptions, not ingredient declarations or allergy guidance. Check current packaging and the manufacturer’s information before using a product.

Brand material

Product names and trademarks belong to their respective owners. Product photography is credited to the relevant house. Inclusion does not imply endorsement.

Availability and links

We may change, suspend or remove features or content. External websites have separate terms. No perfume is sold on this website.

Liability

NicheRitual is provided “as is”. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for the acts of other members, including exchanges between members. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that cannot be excluded.

Apple

These terms are between you and NicheRitual, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content, maintenance, support or any claims relating to it. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you as they relate to the app.

Ending and changes

You can stop using NicheRitual and delete your account at any time. We may update these terms; the date at the top shows the latest version, and we will tell you in the app about significant changes. Continuing to use NicheRitual after a change means you accept the updated terms.
