Terms of Service

Terms of Service of Hapink.com

Version: 2.2 of 23 September 2026 In force from: 26 October 2026

These Terms set out the rules for using the Hapink.com website, publishing materials and using selected materials for automated analysis and for training machine learning models. Hapink.com is the English-language version of the Dziarownia.pl service, run by the same Service Provider; the Polish version of these Terms is available at https://dziarownia.pl/regulamin.

§ 1. Definitions

Administrator or Service Provider – YOUPROMO spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością, with its registered office at Kozielice 26, 74-204 Kozielice, Poland, entered in the register of entrepreneurs of the National Court Register (KRS) under number 0000521338, NIP (tax ID) 8531518627, REGON 321568172.
Service – the Hapink.com website available at https://hapink.com/ and its subdomains, together with the Dziarownia.pl service of which it is a language version.
Terms – these Terms of Service, available at https://hapink.com/terms-and-conditions.
User – a natural person, a legal person or an organisational unit using the Service.
Account – the individual part of the Service made available to a User after registration.
Artist – a User publishing Content related to their own creative or professional activity as a tattoo artist, or acting on behalf of a tattoo studio.
Content – material published in the Service, in particular a photo, graphic, project, Free design, description, tag, comment, rating or review.
Free design – a tattoo design prepared by an Artist and offered to be tattooed.
Automated analysis – technical processing of Content in order to recognise its features, create tags, detect similarities or abuse, or provide search and recommendation features.
Model – a statistical or machine learning model built, tested or used by the Service Provider.
Training – preparing data and building, fine-tuning, validating or testing a Model.
Vector representation – a numerical description of the features of Content produced by a Model. A vector representation may constitute personal data if it can be linked to an identifiable person.
Text and data mining – analysis of Content carried out solely by means of an automated technique in order to obtain information about patterns, trends and correlations, on the terms set out in the Polish Act on Copyright and Related Rights.
Consumer – a User who is a consumer within the meaning of the Polish Civil Code and, where provided by law, also a natural person running a business who enjoys consumer protection.

§ 2. Conclusion of the agreement and the Account

The Service Provider enables, in particular, browsing and publishing Content, maintaining an Account, searching, using recommendations and contacting Artists and studios. The current range of features is presented in the Service.
Use of the basic features of the Service is free of charge, unless, before ordering a specific service, the User is clearly informed of its price and terms.
Using the Service requires a device with Internet access, an up-to-date web browser, support for strictly necessary cookies and – in the case of an Account – an active e-mail address.
The agreement for maintaining an Account is concluded for an indefinite period upon completion of registration. The registration form refers to the Terms and states that submitting it means accepting the Terms. Before accepting, the User may read, download and save the Terms. The Privacy Policy is made available for information; neither making it available nor accepting the Terms constitutes consent to any processing of personal data.
When the INK-AI features are enabled (§ 5 pt 2), the Service Provider records evidence of acceptance comprising the Account identifier, the full text of the Terms and of the INK-AI declaration as presented to the User at the moment of acceptance, the wording of the accepted statement and the description of the button used, the list of designs shown and covered by the licence, the date and time of acceptance, the IP address and information about the browser. The text is recorded at the moment of acceptance in a way that allows it to be reproduced and unambiguously linked to the specific acceptance.
The User provides true and up-to-date information, protects their login details and does not make the Account available to unauthorised persons.
The User should have full legal capacity. A person who does not have it may use features requiring the conclusion of an agreement only to the extent permitted by law and with the consent of their legal representative, where such consent is required.
The User may delete the Account or terminate the agreement at any time via the form at https://hapink.com/contact. Deleting the Account does not deprive the User of rights they have under the law.
A Consumer may withdraw from the agreement for maintaining an Account within 14 days without giving any reason. The period runs from the day the agreement is concluded, i.e. from completion of registration, and is met if the statement is sent before it expires. To meet the deadline, an unambiguous statement submitted via the form at https://hapink.com/contact or by post to the Service Provider's address is sufficient; the Consumer may, but does not have to, use the model withdrawal form set out in Annex 2 to the Polish Consumer Rights Act. Irrespective of this right, the Account may be deleted at any time in accordance with pt 8.
Subscribing to the newsletter is voluntary, separate from accepting the Terms and may be revoked at any time.

§ 3. Your content and the licence

Copyright in Content remains with the rightholders. Publication does not transfer it to the Service Provider and does not limit the use of one's own works outside the Service.
By publishing Content, the User declares that they hold the rights or authorisation needed to publish it and to grant the licence described below. This applies both to the photograph and to the tattoo design shown, if it is protected by copyright. The User also ensures that the publication complies with image rights and personal data protection, and provides true information about the author and the artist who performed the tattoo. A studio acts within the authorisation given by the rightholders; indicating an Artist in the form does not in itself create such authorisation. When publishing from a studio Account, the User indicates the author of the design and declares that they hold the rights to the material, a licence allowing a sub-licence to be granted, or the author's authorisation. At the Service Provider's request, they provide confirmation of this basis. The author's consent to publishing a photo on the Internet does not in itself cover the use of the design for Training.
Upon each publication, the User grants the Service Provider a non-exclusive licence, unlimited territorially, to the specific Content published. The licence covers:
1. recording and reproduction by digital means, including storage in device memory and on servers and making working and backup copies,
2. public display and making available in the Service in such a way that anyone may access it at a place and time of their choosing,
3. in respect of materials covered by the INK-AI features on the terms of pt 5 and the descriptions and tags accompanying them — reproduction for the purposes of Automated analysis, Text and data mining and Training, creating datasets, creating tags (annotations) and Vector representations and using them to build, fine-tune, test and evaluate Models, and using the results in search, recommendations, booking of appointments and matching clients with Artists — for the purposes set out in § 4,
4. storage of materials covered by point c, datasets, tags and Vector representations after the end of research and development work — to the extent and for the period necessary to ensure the reproducibility of results and to meet the project's documentation obligations. We describe and document the purpose and expected period of such storage; we do not keep an indefinite archive on this basis.
Within the above scope, the User permits the necessary technical transformations: changes of format, resolution and framing, preparing thumbnails and training variants, removing unnecessary metadata, masking personal data and preparing tags. Where such a transformation constitutes an adaptation of a work, the permission covers the use of and disposal of the adaptation only within the limits of this licence. In public presentation we keep the information provided about the author or profile; moral rights remain unaffected.
The licence within the scope of pt 3(c) and (d) covers materials published from an Account on which the INK-AI features have been enabled (§ 5 pt 2), and earlier materials selected when they were enabled (§ 4 pt 4). At present the INK-AI features cover Free designs; we will inform you in accordance with § 10 and ask for a separate acceptance before they cover tattoo photos. Enabling the INK-AI features sets the terms for subsequent publications; the licence arises separately when each material is added. No separate checkbox is required for each publication. The Terms do not cover all of the User's future works or works they have not published in the Service.
The licence is granted without separate monetary remuneration. The Service Provider's counter-performance is free access to the features of the Service described in § 2 pt 1, including presentation of works, search, recommendations and contact with Users.
The licence is granted for an indefinite period, with the right of termination in accordance with Article 68(1) of the Polish Act on Copyright and Related Rights. Notice of termination is given via the contact form; it covers the licence within the scope of pt 3(c) and (d) granted from the Account and at the same time withdraws the INK-AI declaration (§ 5 pt 3). The Service Provider confirms the date on which the notice was received and the date on which the licence ends. Irrespective of that date, we withdraw the materials covered by the notice from INK-AI without delay after receiving it (§ 4 pt 10). The User excludes individual materials by withdrawing them from INK-AI (§ 4 pt 10). Deleting Content ends the licence for its public presentation and is treated as withdrawing it from INK-AI. We treat a request to delete the Account as notice of termination of the licence within the scope of Training. The rules for excluding materials and for further use of Models are set out in § 4. This does not limit rights under mandatory provisions of law.
The Service Provider may grant sub-licences to infrastructure providers, contractors and research partners only to the extent and for the period necessary for work carried out on its behalf. This does not authorise them to use the materials for their own purposes or to train their own models.
The licence does not cover private messages, login details or verification documents. Material sent privately for consultation does not thereby become material for Training. Using a work in an external advertising campaign requires a separate agreement with the rightholder.
In the event of specific doubts or a report of an infringement, the Service Provider may ask for an explanation of the origin of Content or confirmation of rights, and may suspend its use, limit its visibility or remove it in accordance with § 7. We do not require documents to be presented routinely for each publication. The User's declaration does not replace rights they do not actually hold. An infringement of copyright, image rights or privacy may be reported by the author, the person shown in the photo or another rightholder via the contact form, also without having an Account.
Other Users may use Content within the limits of the features made available, permitted use, or a separate authorisation from the rightholder. Merely marking material as inspiration or citing a source does not entitle anyone to copy another person's photo or to grant a licence to it.

§ 4. How we use tattoos and designs for AI

Automated analysis and Training serve to develop and provide the features of the Service: recognising the style, motif, colours, composition and placement of a tattoo; suggesting categories; searching for similar works; improving the understanding of queries; matching clients with Artists, studios, designs and free appointment slots; detecting duplicates and abuse. They also include research and development work and evaluation of the effectiveness of these features.
On the basis of this licence we do not train models that generate new tattoo designs or imitate the works of a particular Artist. We do not sell datasets of photos or designs and do not make them available to other entities to develop their own models. We do not use materials to recognise the identity of persons or to infer their health, views, religion, origin or sexual orientation.
We may use materials published by Artists, studios and other Users for Training if we have a legal basis for it. For publications covered by § 3, that basis is the licence granted by the rightholder. Neither the type of Account nor the "inspiration" label in itself determines the rights to the material.
Existing Free designs may also be used for Training. When enabling the INK-AI features, the User may, with a single acceptance, grant the licence under § 3 also for Free designs already published from their Account and still available in the Service. Before acceptance we show clear information about this effect and a list of those designs. Designs that can be covered by the licence are selected on the list; the User may unselect any of them before confirming, and the licence covers only the designs left selected. An unselected design remains in the Service, but until it is covered by the licence or deleted, the Account cannot add new Free designs (§ 5 pt 3). We record the list of identifiers of the designs shown and covered by the licence. The licence for these materials applies from acceptance; it does not legitimise earlier use without a legal basis.
Earlier materials may also be used on the basis of a valid earlier licence or a separate agreement. The absence of an old click log does not mean there is no licence if it can be demonstrated by other reliable evidence. Merely logging in or remaining silent does not constitute granting a new licence.
If we do not have a licence to a material, its reproduction for the purposes of Automated analysis and Training may be based on the provisions on Text and data mining. This applies both to material from an external source and to material disseminated in the Service. We rely on this basis only where its conditions are met, in particular where the work has previously been disseminated with the rightholder's permission, we have lawful access to it and the rightholder has not effectively reserved Text and data mining. The mere public availability of a photo, a copy sent by a User or the "inspiration" label is not sufficient. We do not rely on this basis for Free designs that the User unselected when enabling the INK-AI features or withdrew from INK-AI — we treat unselecting and withdrawing as a reservation of Text and data mining (pt 11).
We do not include in Automated analysis or Training materials that we know were posted without the authorisation of the person whose rights they concern. We verify materials of uncertain origin to an extent proportionate to the information available about the material and to the level of risk; we record the method and result of the verification. We do not routinely examine the origin of every material; we respond to information and signals that reach us.
We record the source and legal basis for using a material, and the purpose and expected storage period of the dataset in which it was included; we periodically review whether datasets are still needed. If we cannot establish the source or basis, we do not include the material in Training. Copies made solely on the basis of the provisions on Text and data mining are kept only as long as necessary for the purposes of that mining. The need to ensure reproducibility of results may justify further storage of such copies if it is specifically described and documented; it does not provide a basis for an indefinite archive. This basis does not permit public presentation of the copy in the gallery or making it available to other entities.
Before Training we limit data to what is needed, remove location data and other unnecessary metadata and mask faces and direct identifiers. We also assess whether a person could be recognised from other elements of the photo. We exclude materials that we cannot use in compliance with data protection rules. Details are set out in the Privacy Policy.
Withdrawing a material. A Free design may be withdrawn from INK-AI at any time using the "withdraw" button next to the design's INK-AI status in "My designs"; this can be done by the author of the design and by the studio that published it. We block a withdrawn design from being added to new datasets and remove it from active datasets without undue delay; the design remains in the gallery. Withdrawal does not end the licence but suspends its use — the design can be brought back with the "restore" button in the same place. A withdrawal made by one Account cannot be lifted by another Account. We proceed in the same way after a design is deleted, after the licence is terminated and after the design is put on hold by the Service Provider (§ 3 pt 10). If the law or the merits of a report require faster action, we act without delay. Retained evidential and backup copies are not used for further Training.
A rightholder may reserve their work from Text and data mining. The reservation is made via the contact form, indicating the materials it concerns; for the User's own Free designs, withdrawing them from INK-AI or unselecting them when enabling the INK-AI features has the same effect. We register reservations submitted and take them into account in further use; a reservation takes effect for the future.
Withdrawing a material does not invalidate acts performed lawfully before it was withdrawn. We may continue to use a previously and properly trained Model for the purposes set out in pt 1, provided this does not lead to unauthorised reproduction or making available of protected Content. If a Model or a Vector representation contains personal data, we give effect to the related rights in accordance with the GDPR; technical difficulty does not exempt us from these obligations.
We record events relevant to demonstrating the basis for using materials, in particular acceptance of the Terms and of the INK-AI declaration, granting of the licence on publication, withdrawal, restoration, putting on hold and deletion of a material, change of author, termination of the licence, deletion of the Account, transfer of a material to a training dataset and the order and confirmation of its exclusion from the dataset. Reservations of Text and data mining submitted via the form are recorded in a separate register. These records serve accountability and security only.
AI results may be inaccurate. The User may report an error or an incorrect tag. We inform about direct interaction with AI and label content generated or modified by AI where required by law.

§ 5. Free designs and contact with an Artist

A Free design is published by an Artist or an authorised person, including a studio. The publisher indicates the correct author, declares that they are the author of the design or hold the rights allowing them to grant the licence, and keeps information about the design's availability up to date. Materials to which the publisher does not hold the required rights must not be published as Free designs.
Covering Free designs by Automated analysis and Training requires a separate declaration by the Artist or an authorised person. The declaration is made once at Account level — it is not required for each design. It is presented on the "Enable INK-AI features" screen together with the Terms and made with a button whose label states its effect: acceptance of the Terms and of the INK-AI declaration and enabling of the INK-AI features. Continued use of the Service or merely logging in does not replace this button. The declaration is recorded as a separate record; a change to its text requires it to be accepted again before another design is added. The declaration sets the rules for designs published in the future; the licence to a specific design arises only when it is published. For designs already published, the declaration covers only the items shown to the Artist before it is made; before confirming, the Artist sees their list and may unselect chosen items (§ 4 pt 4).
The declaration referred to in pt 2 is voluntary and may be withdrawn at any time via the contact form; withdrawing the declaration constitutes notice of termination of the licence on the terms of § 3 pt 7. Making the declaration is a condition for adding new Free designs. An Account may add a new Free design only if all of its Free designs that it can cover by the licence are covered by it — this also applies to designs unselected when enabling the INK-AI features, withdrawn from INK-AI or covered by a notice of termination. We do not take into account deleted designs, designs put on hold by the Service Provider or withdrawn by another Account, or designs with no Artist assigned. A design can be covered by the licence ("license it") or restored ("restore") in "My designs". The absence of the declaration or of a licence does not restrict access to the Account or to designs already published (§ 10 pt 6).
Publishing a Free design does not place it in the public domain, transfer copyright or permit any tattoo artist to tattoo it. The terms of performance, price, booking and any exclusivity are agreed with the Artist or studio.
The Service facilitates contact and matching. The Artist or studio with whom the User concludes an agreement is responsible for the tattooing service. This does not limit the Service Provider's liability for its own services.

§ 6. Rules for using the Service

The User uses the Service in accordance with the law, the Terms and good practice, and with respect for the rights of others.
It is prohibited to publish Content that is unlawful, infringes the rights of third parties, incites violence or hatred, contains threats, depicts sexual abuse of minors or serves fraud, harassment or other abuse.
It is prohibited to circumvent security measures, disrupt the operation of the Service, obtain unauthorised access and automatically download Content contrary to technical reservations or the Terms. The prohibition does not apply to activities expressly permitted by the Service Provider or by law.
The Account name and Avatar must not be misleading, impersonate another person or infringe their rights.
The User is liable for breaching the Terms in accordance with applicable law. The Terms do not impose on a Consumer liability broader than that provided for by mandatory provisions of law.

§ 7. Moderation, reports and recommendations

The Service Provider has no general obligation to monitor all Content in advance. It may moderate on its own initiative and responds to credible reports.
Moderation may be supported by automated tools used to detect Content potentially infringing the law or the Terms. Significant decisions to remove Content, restrict its visibility or suspend an Account are subject to human review.
Illegal Content may be reported electronically via the easily accessible form at https://hapink.com/contact. The report should contain:
1. a statement of reasons explaining why the Content is illegal,
2. the exact URL or other information allowing the Content to be located,
3. the name and e-mail address of the reporting person, except where the law does not require this information,
4. a statement confirming the good-faith belief that the information in the report is accurate and complete.
The Service Provider confirms receipt of the report, handles it in a timely, diligent, objective and non-arbitrary manner and informs of its decision if it has the reporting person's electronic contact details.
If Content or an Account is restricted, the Service Provider provides the User concerned with a clear statement of reasons, including the basis for the decision, the scope of the restriction, information on the use of automated means and the available means of redress, unless the law allows the statement of reasons to be omitted.
The User may appeal against a decision via the contact form within 30 days of receiving it. Appeals are handled free of charge and the decision is not taken solely by automated means.
The Service may suggest tattoos, Free designs, Artists and studios. The information taken into account in recommendations, the scope of personalisation and the way to object are described in the Privacy Policy. Recommendations do not use special categories of personal data or data used to identify a person on the basis of a tattoo or biometric features.
The electronic point of contact for Users and authorities is the form at https://hapink.com/contact. Communication may be conducted in Polish or English.

§ 8. Personal data and cookies

The rules for processing personal data, including information about the data used in Automated analysis and Training, are set out in the Privacy Policy available at https://hapink.com/privacy-policy.
The rules for using cookies and similar technologies are set out in the Cookie Policy available at https://hapink.com/cookie-policy.
The User should not publish personal data of other persons without an appropriate basis, or include in descriptions data that is not needed to present the Content.

§ 9. Complaints and conformity of the Service with the agreement

Complaints about the operation of the Service may be submitted via the form at https://hapink.com/contact or by post to the Service Provider's address.
A complaint should describe the problem, the date it occurred and the expected resolution, and contain details allowing a reply.
The Service Provider replies to a complaint within 14 days of receiving it.
A Consumer has the rights concerning the conformity of a digital service with the agreement set out in the Polish Consumer Rights Act. The Terms do not exclude or limit these rights.
Complaints about services provided independently by an Artist or studio should be addressed to that entity, without prejudice to the Service Provider's liability for the operation of the Service.

§ 10. Changes to the Terms and the Service

The Service Provider may change the Terms or the Service only for a valid reason, which is:
1. a change in the law or a decision of a competent authority,
2. the need to ensure security or to prevent abuse,
3. a change in the technology, features or operation of the Service,
4. the introduction of a new service or the discontinuation of a feature whose further maintenance has become impossible or unjustified,
5. the need to remove ambiguities, correct errors or align the document with how the Service actually works.
Other reasons do not entitle the Service Provider to change the Terms.
A change to the Terms has no retroactive effect. Events that occurred before it enters into force are governed by the version in force at the time of the event. A change may not impose costs on a Consumer retroactively or infringe acquired rights.
The Service Provider notifies a User who has an Account of a change concerning them at least 30 days in advance, by e-mail or another durable medium. The period may be shorter only where:
1. an immediate change is required by law or a decision of an authority,
2. the change is necessary due to an urgent threat to the security of the Service or Users,
3. the change is purely editorial and does not affect the User's rights or obligations.
We recommend saving or downloading a copy of the version of the Terms the User has accepted; we also make it available in accordance with pt 7.
A change extending the scope of the licence for Training, adding a new purpose of Training or covering historical Content requires express acceptance of the new version of the Terms. For existing Accounts we ask for it before the feature concerned is used — for Free designs, before another design is added. A single acceptance may cover existing materials on the terms of § 4 pt 4. No reply, merely continuing to use the Service or merely logging in does not constitute granting such a licence.
If a change significantly and adversely affects a Consumer's access to or use of the Service, the Consumer may terminate the agreement without notice within 30 days of the change being introduced or of receiving information about it, whichever is later, unless the law provides otherwise.
Refusing to grant the licence described in § 3 does not result in the Account being blocked, suspended or deleted. A User who does not grant it keeps access to the Account and to previously published materials, the ability to browse the Service, make contact, submit complaints, exercise data rights, download their own materials and close the Account. Granting the licence is, however, a condition for using features based on Automated analysis and Training, in particular adding Free designs, booking free appointment slots (last-minute booking) and matching clients with Artists and studios; without the licence these features are not available, on the terms of § 5 pt 3. If the User does not accept a change necessary for the Service to continue to be provided, the agreement may be terminated in accordance with § 11. The Service Provider does not treat silence as consent to extending rights to Content.
We publish the current version of the Terms at https://hapink.com/terms-and-conditions with its version number and date of entry into force. Previous versions are made available on request via the contact form, and the text accepted when enabling the INK-AI features is stored in accordance with § 2 pt 5.

§ 11. Suspension and termination of the Service

The Service Provider may temporarily restrict access to the Service for maintenance, to remedy a failure, to ensure security or to comply with a legal obligation. Where possible, it gives advance notice of planned interruptions.
The Service Provider may restrict or terminate the provision of the Service to a User who materially or repeatedly breaches the Terms or the law, taking into account the nature, number and seriousness of the breaches and – where appropriate – after a prior warning.
In relation to Artists and studios using the Service in the course of business, the Service Provider applies the following rules: the statement of reasons for restricting or suspending services is provided on a durable medium at the latest when the restriction or suspension takes effect, and the statement of reasons for terminating the provision of all services — at least 30 days in advance. A shorter period applies only where required by a legal obligation, an urgent threat to security or repeated material breach of the Terms. We allow the circumstances to be clarified via the contact form.
The Service Provider may discontinue the Service after notifying Users with an Account at least 30 days in advance, unless further provision is impossible for legal or security reasons or due to force majeure.
Before a planned discontinuation of the Service, the User will be given the opportunity to delete or download their data and Content to the extent provided for by law and technical possibilities.

§ 12. Final provisions

These Terms are governed by Polish law, without prejudice to the mandatory rights of a Consumer under the law of their place of residence.
Disputes are resolved by the courts having jurisdiction under the law. The Terms do not impose on a Consumer a court that would not have jurisdiction under the rules of civil procedure.
In matters not regulated here, the following apply in particular: the Polish Civil Code, the Act on Providing Services by Electronic Means, the Act on Copyright and Related Rights, the Consumer Rights Act, the GDPR, the Digital Services Act and the Artificial Intelligence Act – to the extent applicable.
The current Terms are available at https://hapink.com/terms-and-conditions.
