Terms of Service

Effective July 19, 2026 · Applies to the Lastivka mobile app and lastivka website

1.The agreement

These Terms are an agreement between you and Lastivka's operator, Vladislav Nedodaiev ("we", "us"), covering the Lastivka mobile app and this website (together, the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.

2.Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use Lastivka, and old enough to form a binding contract where you live. The Service is intended for personal, non-commercial use by people choosing a name together.

3.Your account and your pair

  • You're responsible for your account and for keeping your sign-in method secure.
  • Pairing connects your account to one partner via an invite code or link. Invite codes expire after 30 days. Only share your invite with the person you actually want to name a baby with.
  • Either partner may dissolve the pair at any time. Dissolving separates your data as described in the Privacy Policy.
  • You may delete your account at any time in the app. Deletion is permanent.

4.Free tier and Premium

Lastivka's core features are free, with a daily swipe limit. Lastivka Premium is a one-time purchase that removes the swipe limit and unlocks additional features.

Premium is pair-wide: a purchase by either partner unlocks premium for both accounts in the pair. If the pair is dissolved, premium remains with the account that purchased it; entitlement sourced from a former partner's purchase ends with the pair.
  • Purchases are billed and processed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) under their terms. Prices are shown in the store before you buy and may vary by region.
  • Refunds are handled by the store you purchased through, under that store's refund policy. We don't have the ability to issue card refunds directly.
  • We may change what's included in the free tier or Premium over time; we won't remove Premium features you've already paid for without a reasonable substitute.

5.Acceptable use

Don't misuse the Service. In particular, you agree not to:

  • attempt to access another person's account or pair, or data that isn't yours;
  • probe, overload, disrupt, or reverse-engineer the Service or its security measures;
  • use the Service for anything unlawful, or resell or commercially exploit it;
  • use shortlist notes or any free-text field to harass anyone or to store unlawful content.

6.Content and intellectual property

  • Our content. The app, its design, and its curated name database — meanings, origins, transliterations, and cultural notes — are our intellectual property or used under license. We grant you a personal, non-transferable license to use them within the Service.
  • Your content. Notes and comments you write remain yours. You grant us the limited license needed to store them and show them to your partner — that's the whole point.
  • Names themselves belong to everyone. Anything you decide to name your child is, obviously, entirely yours.

7.About the name information

Name meanings, origins, popularity data, and cultural notes are provided for inspiration and general information. We work hard on accuracy, but etymology and popularity data are inherently imperfect and sometimes contested. The Service is not genealogical, linguistic, legal, or medical advice — and the final choice of name is yours alone.

8.Availability and changes to the Service

We aim to keep Lastivka available and improving, but we provide the Service "as is" and "as available". We may add, change, or retire features, and we may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms. If we ever discontinue the Service entirely, we'll give reasonable notice so you can export your shortlist.

9.Disclaimers and liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law: the Service is provided without warranties of any kind, express or implied; and our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or €20 if you paid nothing. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, or your statutory rights as a consumer.

10.Changes to these Terms

If we make a material change to these Terms, we'll note it in the app and update the effective date above. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

11.Governing law

These Terms are governed by the law of the operator's country of establishment, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer-protection rules of the country where you live. Disputes will be resolved in the courts competent under those rules.
