1. Service and scope
Bead Studio is provided by the Bead Studio Operator and is intended mainly for users in Malaysia. It provides bead-pattern drawing, image conversion, local autosave, backup and community sharing. Offline creation data is kept mainly on your device; account and community features require internet access. If you use Bead Studio elsewhere, you must also follow mandatory local laws.
2. Accounts and eligibility
Use only an email address or Google account you are entitled to use, keep the information usable and protect your credentials. Do not impersonate others, share stolen accounts, bypass verification, probe another person’s data, misuse automation or disrupt the service. Users below the age at which they can consent independently where they live should use the online community with a parent or guardian.
3. Content you publish
You keep the rights that already belong to you. To operate the community, you grant Bead Studio a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence only as needed to store, transmit, display, preview, technically back up and moderate the content. Public display stops after removal, but copies may remain for a necessary period where required for law, security investigations or limited backups. You must have the rights needed to share the content.
4. Prohibited conduct and moderation
Do not publish unlawful, infringing, fraudulent, hateful, harassing, dangerous, sexually explicit, privacy-invasive or malicious content. Like manipulation, spam and report abuse are also prohibited. Bead Studio may record reports and, when human review is available, review, hide or remove violations. A report does not guarantee immediate action, and a report count alone does not decide a final penalty.
5. Intellectual property complaints
Characters, trade marks, images and patterns may belong to their respective owners. If you believe a community post infringes your rights, email the post link, an explanation of your rights, your contact details and the action requested to beadstudiovoice@gmail.com. Bead Studio may request more information and take reasonable steps under applicable law and available operational capacity.
6. Local data and backups
Android may back up patterns, palettes, inventory and settings depending on the device, account and system policy, but restoration is not guaranteed and data is not moved between different application IDs. Firebase sign-in, community caches and temporary restore files are excluded from system backup. Uninstalling the App, clearing data, device damage or system cleanup can still erase local data. Export .douhui backups regularly to a safe location you control. Signing out or deleting a cloud account does not automatically erase local patterns or withdraw a community post.
7. Availability and responsibility
We take reasonable steps to maintain the service, but networks, devices, Firebase, app stores, maintenance or events outside our control may cause delays or interruptions. To the extent Malaysian law permits, Bead Studio does not promise uninterrupted availability and does not guarantee unbacked-up local data or third-party content. Consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded remain unaffected.
8. Ending use, changes and disputes
You may stop using Bead Studio, delete your own posts or delete your cloud account. Important changes require fresh consent before another community post; using account-free offline features does not automatically accept new community terms. These terms are interpreted under applicable Malaysian law. For questions or disputes, contact beadstudiovoice@gmail.com first so we can try to address them.
