Terms and Privacy

TryDuo is an independent 3D viewer and a live auction for 30-minute sponsored takeovers of both Duo screens. It is not affiliated with Apple. By using the site, bidding, or publishing a campaign, you agree to these terms.

Terms of use

The takeover

A winning bid authorizes a card hold and, if you win, a charge for exclusive use of both Duo screens for one UTC half-hour slot. Bidding closes when that slot starts. Outbid holds may remain until the slot ends so a rejected leader can be replaced by the previous eligible bidder. You are not charged unless your bid wins and is captured.

Published content

Campaign names, destination URLs, and creatives are public as soon as they are created. A moderator may reject or disable any campaign at any time. If you are leading or live, the previous eligible bidder is restored.

You may not publish content that is harmful or otherwise prohibited, including:

• Illegal activity, scams, phishing, malware, or attempts to steal accounts or payments
• Hate, harassment, credible threats, or incitement of violence
• Sexual or exploitative content involving minors, or any child sexual abuse material
• Non-consensual intimate imagery, or graphic sexual content that is not clearly appropriate for a public homepage
• Weapons, explosives, or other dangerous goods promoted in a way that is unlawful
• Controlled substances or other illegal products
• Misinformation presented as TryDuo or Apple, or any implication that Apple endorses your campaign
• Infringing copyrights, trademarks, or other rights
• Deceptive claims, fake buttons, or destination URLs that do not match what the creative advertises

You represent that you have the rights to every name, image, and URL you submit, and that visitors may be sent to that URL. You grant TryDuo a worldwide license to host, display, and cache your creatives for the auction and any winning slot, and to keep records needed for payments, moderation, and abuse response.

Payments

Card authorizations and charges are processed by Stripe. TryDuo does not store full card numbers. Refunds of captured charges, when issued, subtract Stripe’s actual processing fee. Late checkout confirmations after a slot starts are ineligible.

The model

The 3D Duo is an independent reconstruction using Apple’s published dimensions and supplied assets. Folding between poses is an approximation. TryDuo is provided as-is, without warranties, and may change or go offline without notice.

Privacy

We collect only what we need to run the viewer, the auction, and moderation.

• Campaign contact email — used for Stripe Checkout and to reach you about your bid or rejected content.
• Payment data — handled by Stripe. We store PaymentIntent, charge, and refund identifiers, not your full card number.
• Cookies — a bidder cookie remembers campaigns created in this browser; an admin cookie after sign-in; a visitor id for impression deduplication.
• Auction activity — bids, campaign creatives, destination URLs, impressions when the Duo is on screen, and clicks through our redirect.
• Audience analytics — Vercel Web Analytics records page views to understand traffic.
• Technical logs — IP address used only for rate limiting and abuse prevention.

We do not sell personal information. We share data with infrastructure providers that host the app, database, file storage, and payments, and if required by law. Sponsored takeovers are public: your sponsor name, creatives, and destination are visible to visitors.

To ask about deletion of a campaign or contact email, use the email you submitted on the campaign. We may retain payment and moderation records as required for disputes, fees, and safety.
