Terms of Use
Last updated: February 8, 2026
Summary: RaffleCat is a free tool for conducting fair and transparent Instagram giveaways. By using it, you accept these terms. We do not store your data on external servers and only access what is strictly necessary to conduct giveaways.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By downloading, installing, or using RaffleCat ("the application"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with any of these terms, you must not use the application.
2. Service Description
RaffleCat is a mobile application that allows Instagram content creators and influencers to:
- Import comments from their own Instagram posts.
- Configure rules for giveaways (filters, required mentions, hashtags, etc.).
- Select winners randomly and with cryptographic verification.
- Generate verification certificates to ensure transparency.
- Record the giveaway process to share publicly.
- Generate drafts of legal terms and captions with AI assistance.
3. Account and Login
3.1. Quick Mode (without login)
You can use RaffleCat without creating an account or logging in. In this mode ("Quick Mode"), the app obtains a limited sample of approximately 300 comments from any public Instagram post. No authorization from the post owner is required.
3.2. Verified Mode (with Instagram login)
To access 100% of comments from your posts officially, you can choose to connect your Instagram account through Meta's OAuth protocol.
Why is login required? Meta's official Instagram API (Graph API) requires authorization from the post owner to return the complete list of comments. Without this login, Instagram limits available data. Login ensures that:
- 100% of comments are obtained (not a sample).
- Data comes from Meta's official source.
- The giveaway is legally valid and verifiable.
- Only posts you own are accessed.
By connecting your account:
- You authorize RaffleCat to read comments from your posts through Meta's API.
- Your account must be a Professional account (Creator or Business) and linked to a Facebook Page, as required by Meta.
- You can disconnect your account at any time from the application.
- We do not post, delete, or modify any content on your behalf.
4. Acceptable Use
By using RaffleCat, you agree to:
- Use the application solely for legitimate Instagram giveaway purposes.
- Comply with Instagram's Community Guidelines and Meta's Terms of Service.
- Comply with applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction regarding giveaways and contests.
- Not use the application for fraudulent, illegal activities or activities that violate third-party rights.
- Not attempt to access data from posts you do not own through Verified Mode.
- Not reverse engineer, decompile, or modify the application.
5. Intellectual Property
RaffleCat, including its code, design, logo, name, and content, is the property of its developers and is protected by intellectual property laws. No license to intellectual property is granted beyond the right to personal use of the application.
6. AI-Generated Content
RaffleCat includes AI-assisted features (giveaway rule detection, caption and legal terms generation). This content is automatically generated as a suggestion and:
- Does not constitute legal advice.
- Should be reviewed and edited before publication.
- The user is responsible for the final content they publish.
7. Cryptographic Verification
Each giveaway generates a unique identifier (hash) that allows verifying its integrity. This verification certifies that the giveaway parameters and data were not altered after execution. RaffleCat does not guarantee the legality of the giveaway itself, which depends on the user's local laws.
8. Limitation of Liability
- RaffleCat is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied.
- We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or completeness of data obtained from Instagram through Meta's API.
- We are not responsible for disputes arising from giveaways conducted with the application.
- We are not responsible for changes in Meta/Instagram APIs or policies that may affect the app's operation.
- The user is responsible for complying with local laws regarding giveaways, contests, and promotions.
9. Privacy and Data
The processing of your personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy. We recommend reading it carefully to understand how we protect your information.
10. Pricing and Availability
RaffleCat is a free application. We reserve the right to introduce premium features in the future, which will be clearly identified and optional. No charges will be made without your explicit consent.
11. Service and Terms Modifications
We reserve the right to:
- Modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the service at any time.
- Update these Terms of Use. Significant changes will be notified through the application.
- Continued use of the application after any modification constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
12. Termination
You can stop using RaffleCat at any time by uninstalling the application. We reserve the right to restrict access to users who violate these terms or use the application abusively.
13. Applicable Law
These terms are governed by the laws in force in the developer's jurisdiction. Any dispute will be resolved in the competent courts of said jurisdiction.
