TropiFishiAI — Terms of Use

Effective date: 24 October 2026
Last updated: 24 October 2026

1. Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the TropiFishiAI mobile application ("App").

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

If the App presents these Terms and the Privacy Policy during initial setup, selecting "Continue" indicates that you acknowledge these documents and agree to these Terms. Your personal information will be handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

You must be legally capable of entering into a binding agreement to use the App. If you are under the age of legal capacity in your jurisdiction, you may use the App only with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian, where required by law.

2. Description of the App

TropiFishiAI provides fish identification and related information using image analysis, artificial intelligence and associated reference information.


The focus region of the app is the Tropical Indo-Pacific Region from the Red Sea in the west to Hawaii and Tahiti in the east, from south Japan in the north to Australia's Great Barrier Reef in the south. 


Please note that other regions such as the Tropical Atlantic Region including the Caribbean are not covered by this app.


Depending on the version of the App, your device, your selected settings and your subscription status, the App may provide features including:

  • Identification or suggested identification of fish from images.
  • Common and scientific name of fish species identified in images.
  • Fish detection and image refinement tools.
  • Adjustable detection settings, including confidence thresholds and regional settings.
  • Saving or sharing identification results.
  • Additional features available through a Premium subscription.

Features and information may change as the App is updated. Not all features are necessarily available in every region, on every device or under every subscription plan.

Common names follow the naming convention from the following references where possible:

  • Randall, J. E., Allen, G. R., Steene, R. C. (1997). Fishes of the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea (2nd ed.). University of Hawaii Press.
  • Allen, G. R., Erdmann, M. V. (2024). Reef fishes of the East Indies (2nd ed., Vols. I–III). Tropical Reef Research.

Scientific names follow Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes (https://www.calacademy.org/scientists/projects/eschmeyers-catalog-of-fishes) as much as possible.

3. Important Limitations of Fish Identification

TropiFishiAI provides identification suggestions and informational assistance only. It does not guarantee that a fish will be identified correctly.

AI-based identification may be affected by image quality, lighting, viewing angle, fish size, age, color variation, similar-looking species, geographic location and other factors.

The App may produce incomplete, uncertain or incorrect results, including incorrect species names or family classifications.

You are responsible for independently verifying information when accuracy matters. You should consult a qualified marine biologist, fisheries authority or other appropriate expert where necessary.

You must not rely solely on the App to determine:

  • Whether a fish is safe to eat or suitable for human consumption.
  • Whether a fish is poisonous, venomous or otherwise dangerous.
  • Whether a fish is safe to handle.
  • Whether a fish is protected, prohibited, subject to catch limits or otherwise regulated.
  • Whether a fish is suitable for an aquarium or other captive environment.
  • Whether an activity involving a fish is lawful or environmentally appropriate.

Fish identification results are not medical, food-safety, legal or professional advice.

You remain responsible for your decisions and actions when interacting with fish or using information provided by the App. Always follow applicable laws, local fishing regulations, environmental requirements and appropriate safety precautions.

4. Permitted Use

Subject to these Terms, you are granted a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to install and use the App for lawful purposes.

You agree not to:

  • Use the App for unlawful, fraudulent or harmful purposes.
  • Attempt to reverse engineer, de-compile or disassemble the App, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits this restriction to be overridden.
  • Circumvent subscription checks, access controls or other technical protections.
  • Modify, redistribute, resell, sub-license or commercially exploit the App without our prior written permission, except as permitted by applicable law.
  • Interfere with the operation, security or integrity of the App.
  • Use the App in a manner that infringes another person's intellectual property, privacy or other legal rights.
  • Use the App or its outputs to misrepresent an identification as independently verified when it has not been verified.

You may use the App's ordinary saving and sharing features for their intended purposes, subject to any applicable restrictions on the content being shared.

5. Images and User Content

You may be able to select or capture images for analysis and save or share results.

The image formats that are supported by the App include the most common formats such as JPEG, PNG , BMP, and WebP.  However, image formats such as TIFF and RAW may not be supported.

You retain ownership of images and other content that you own and submit to the App. You are responsible for ensuring that you have the necessary rights and permissions to use any images you submit.

To the extent necessary to operate the App, analyze submitted images, display results and provide requested features, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to process and use that content for those purposes.

This license does not transfer ownership of your content to us. It ends when the relevant processing and service requirements have been fulfilled, subject to any lawful retention requirements and the Privacy Policy.

Do not submit images or other content that you are not authorized to use or that unlawfully contains another person's personal information.

Further information about how images, device information and other personal information are handled is provided in the Privacy Policy.

6. Intellectual Property

The App, including its software, design, interface, branding, original text, graphics and other materials, is owned by or licensed to us and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Except for the limited license granted under these Terms, no ownership rights are transferred to you.

You must not copy, adapt, distribute, publicly display or create derivative works from protected elements of the App except where permitted by law or authorized by us in writing.

Third-party names, trademarks, reference materials and other content remain the property of their respective owners. Their inclusion in the App does not necessarily imply endorsement or affiliation.

7. Premium Features and Subscriptions

Certain features may require a paid Premium subscription purchased through Google Play.

The App may offer weekly, monthly and annual subscription plans. The available plans, prices, billing periods, trial offers and included features may vary by region and may change over time.

Before purchasing, review the price, billing period, trial conditions and renewal information displayed by Google Play and within the App.

7.1 Free trials

If a free trial is offered, its duration, eligibility requirements and applicable conditions will be displayed before purchase.

Unless the offer expressly states otherwise, a free trial that converts to a paid subscription will automatically convert at the disclosed price when the trial ends, unless you cancel before the applicable deadline.

You may not be eligible for a free trial if you have previously used an offer or do not meet the eligibility conditions imposed by Google Play.

7.2 Automatic renewal and billing

Subscriptions generally renew automatically unless cancelled in accordance with Google Play's subscription procedures.

For an active subscription, Google Play will ordinarily charge the payment method associated with your Google Play account at the applicable renewal price and frequency.

By purchasing a subscription, you authorize recurring charges in accordance with the terms and disclosures presented during the purchase process.

Any applicable taxes, price changes and payment conditions will be handled in accordance with Google Play's processes and applicable law.

7.3 Cancellation

You can generally cancel your subscription through the Google Play Store subscription settings associated with the Google account used to purchase it.

Uninstalling the App or deleting its local data does not, by itself, cancel a subscription.

Unless otherwise required by law or specified by the applicable offer, cancellation stops future renewals but does not ordinarily end access to paid features immediately. Access generally continues until the end of the current paid billing period.

You are responsible for ensuring that your cancellation is completed successfully. You should check your Google Play subscription status if you are unsure.

7.4 Refunds

Payments, cancellations and refunds are subject to Google Play's applicable policies and any mandatory rights you have under applicable law.

You may be able to request a refund through Google Play. A cancellation does not automatically entitle you to a refund for a payment already made.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or restricts any refund or other remedy that you are legally entitled to receive.

7.5 Subscription access and verification

Premium access may depend on subscription status, successful verification of purchases, and the availability of relevant App functionality.

Temporary network problems, Google Play service interruptions, device changes, reinstallations or other technical issues may affect subscription verification or access.

The App may use locally stored subscription information to support access when verification services are temporarily unavailable. Such information may not always reflect the latest subscription status.

You should connect to the internet periodically and allow the App to refresh your subscription status. We do not guarantee uninterrupted Premium access in every offline or technical-failure scenario.

We will not intentionally disregard a valid paid entitlement. If you believe your subscription is active but Premium features are unavailable, contact us with relevant purchase information, without sending passwords or full payment credentials.

7.6 Changes to subscription plans

We may modify, discontinue or introduce subscription plans or features, subject to applicable law and any contractual obligations to existing subscribers.

Where a price change, renewal change or other subscription change requires notice or consent, the change will be handled in accordance with applicable law and Google Play's procedures.

8. App Availability, Updates and Compatibility

We aim to maintain the App and improve its functionality, but we do not guarantee that it will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free or compatible with every device or Android version.

Features may be modified, suspended or discontinued where reasonably necessary for maintenance, security, technical reasons, legal compliance or product development, subject to applicable law and any rights you have under these Terms.

You may need to install updates to continue using certain features. We recommend keeping the App and your device software up to date.

The App may rely on third-party services, operating system features or Google Play services that are outside our control. We are not responsible for disruptions caused by third parties except to the extent required by law.

9. Privacy

Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how personal information and other data are collected, used, stored, disclosed and handled.

You should review the Privacy Policy before using the App.

The Privacy Policy is available here: https://www.fishgeekai.com/tropifishiai-privacy/

If the Privacy Policy and these Terms address different subjects, each document applies to its respective subject. Where there is a conflict concerning your rights, applicable law prevails.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided on an "as available" basis.

We do not warrant that:

  • Fish identification results will always be correct or complete.
  • The App will operate without interruption, errors or technical defects.
  • All reference information will always be current or applicable to your location.
  • The App will be compatible with every device or meet every user's individual requirements.
  • Offline access or subscription verification will always be available.

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies a consumer guarantee, statutory right or other protection that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profits, loss of business opportunities, loss of data or other losses arising from your use of, or inability to use, the App.

We are not responsible for decisions you make solely on the basis of an identification result or other information supplied by the App, subject to any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by law, including liability arising from applicable consumer guarantees or statutory rights.

Any limitation or exclusion in these Terms operates only to the extent legally permitted in the relevant jurisdiction.

12. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it.

We may suspend or restrict access to some or all of the App where reasonably necessary to address misuse, security risks, technical issues or legal requirements.

Where appropriate and permitted by law, we may terminate access if you materially breach these Terms.

Termination of access to the App does not automatically cancel a Google Play subscription. You must manage the subscription separately through Google Play.

Any rights, remedies or obligations that by their nature continue after termination will remain in effect to the extent required by law or necessary to give effect to these Terms.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the App, subscription arrangements, applicable laws or our business practices.

The latest version will be made available through the App or another appropriate publication location, with an updated effective date.

Where required by law, we will provide notice of material changes or obtain your agreement before the changes apply.

Your continued use of the App after updated Terms take effect indicates acceptance only to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not agree to updated Terms, you should stop using the App.

Changes to these Terms do not override rights you have under an existing subscription or applicable law.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable in the jurisdiction where the relevant legal relationship is required to be governed, subject to any mandatory consumer protection laws that apply to you.

Any dispute will be dealt with by a court or tribunal having jurisdiction under applicable law.

15. General Provisions

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.

Our failure to exercise a right under these Terms does not necessarily constitute a waiver of that right.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any applicable subscription disclosures, govern your use of the App. If additional terms are presented for a particular feature or offer, those terms apply to that feature or offer to the extent they are consistent with applicable law.

You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms where doing so is prohibited by law or without any required consent.
