Terms of Use & End User License Agreement

1. Overview

Snip Studio is a local screenshot, screen-recording, and annotation tool. It helps you capture your screen — a region, a window, or a whole display — record your screen, mark up and refine what you capture, recognize and hide sensitive details before you share, and organize everything in a library on your Mac.

Snip Studio does not require an account. The application is designed to operate locally on your Mac. Your captures, recordings, edits, decisions, and related content are stored locally on your Mac and remain under your control, subject to your device settings, operating-system behaviour, Apple services, backup settings, iCloud settings, and any third-party apps or services you choose to use.

2. Acceptance, Withdrawal, and Termination

You must accept these Terms to use Snip Studio. These Terms remain in force until terminated by you or by the developer.

Termination by you. You may terminate these Terms at any time by ceasing all use of Snip Studio and deleting the application from your devices. If you wish to withdraw consent to these Terms, decline them in the application or stop using Snip Studio.

Termination by the developer. Your rights under these Terms will terminate automatically, without notice from the developer, if you fail to comply with any provision of these Terms or of the Snip Studio Acceptable Use Policy. Upon termination, you must immediately cease all use of Snip Studio and delete the application from your devices. No refund or compensation is owed in connection with any termination, except where required by applicable law.

Survival. Termination does not affect any obligation, right, or remedy that, by its nature, is intended to survive, including §5, §6, §10, §11, §16, §17, §18, §20, §21, §22, §23, §24, §26, §27, §29, §31, §33, and §34.

Refunds. Refund requests must be handled through Apple and are subject to Apple’s App Store rules, refund policies, and applicable law. Snip Studio does not control Apple’s refund decisions.

Continued use. Continued use of Snip Studio after accepting these Terms means you continue to agree to them.

3. Age Requirement

You must be at least 13 years old to use Snip Studio. If you reside in a country whose law sets a higher minimum age for the use of digital services or for consent to the processing of personal data — including, for residents of Romania and several other Member States of the European Economic Area, an age of 16 under Article 8 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation — that higher age applies to you. By using Snip Studio you represent that you meet the applicable minimum age. If you do not, do not download, install, open, access, purchase, or use Snip Studio.

4. License to Use the App

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and with the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and the App Store Terms of Service (together, the “Apple Usage Rules”), the developer grants you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use Snip Studio on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, or as otherwise permitted by Apple’s Family Sharing, volume purchasing, or applicable App Store rules.

You do not acquire ownership of Snip Studio, its source code, object code, design, interface, icons, branding, workflows, documentation, or other intellectual property. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by the developer and its rights holders.

5. Prohibited Software Distribution

You may not distribute Snip Studio or any copy, component, modified version, extracted portion, build, package, binary, installer, or derivative of Snip Studio.

Except where expressly permitted by applicable law, you must not: (a) copy, reproduce, redistribute, sell, rent, lease, lend, sublicense, assign, publish, upload, host, mirror, share, transfer, or make Snip Studio available to any third party; (b) distribute Snip Studio outside authorized Apple distribution channels; (c) include Snip Studio in another software package, bundle, marketplace, repository, device image, managed deployment, or commercial service without the developer’s prior written consent; (d) modify, adapt, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, attempt to derive source code from, bypass protections in, or create derivative works from Snip Studio; (e) remove, alter, obscure, or misrepresent any copyright, trademark, ownership, licensing, security, or attribution notice; (f) use Snip Studio to build, train, benchmark, or market a competing product in a way that violates these Terms or applicable law.

These restrictions apply to the maximum extent permitted by law and do not limit rights that cannot legally be restricted.

6. Permitted Use and User Responsibility

Snip Studio is intended for lawful, privacy-respecting, good-faith use. You are solely responsible for: (a) the screenshots, recordings, files, edits, redactions, and deletions you make using Snip Studio; (b) deciding what to capture, record, keep, redact, export, share, or delete; (c) maintaining independent backups of captures and files that matter to you; (d) complying with all applicable laws, platform rules, intellectual property rights, privacy rights, confidentiality obligations, employment obligations, evidence-preservation obligations, and contractual duties; (e) ensuring that your use of Snip Studio does not violate the rights of any person or organization.

You must not use Snip Studio for unlawful surveillance, covert recording, harassment, impersonation, fraud, evidence destruction, rights infringement, privacy violations, or any other unlawful or harmful activity. Detailed rules on prohibited conduct, reporting of suspected misuse, and the consequences of breach are set out in the Snip Studio Acceptable Use Policy, available at https://snippingstudio.app/aup, which forms part of these Terms.

7. No Data Collection by Snip Studio

Snip Studio is designed not to collect, transmit, sell, rent, share, analyze, or remotely store your captures, recordings, files, usage analytics, identifiers, or telemetry on servers controlled by the developer. Snip Studio does not operate a user-account system and does not require you to create an account. Snip Studio does not upload your captures or recordings to servers controlled by the developer. Snip Studio does not use your captures for advertising, tracking, profiling, analytics, training, resale, or third-party marketing.

To provide its features across your devices and to remember your choices, Snip Studio stores a small amount of non-personal information — such as your free-usage allowance and a record that you accepted these Terms — in your own private iCloud account, and certain preferences locally on your Mac. This information resides in your iCloud account or on your Mac; the developer does not receive, access, or hold it. Further detail is provided in the Snip Studio Privacy Policy.

8. Local Processing and Device Storage

All capture, recording, analysis, annotation, redaction, and organization operations are designed to run locally on your Mac. Everything you capture is stored locally on your Mac, under your control, and remains subject to your own device storage, operating-system behaviour, iCloud settings, backup settings, and other applications or services you choose to use.

Snip Studio does not control iCloud, device backups, third-party managers, messaging apps, cloud-storage providers, external drives, or any other system or service outside Snip Studio.

9. Screen and Permission Access

Snip Studio requests Screen Recording permission so that you can capture and record your screen. It may request optional Microphone permission if you add spoken narration to a recording, and optional Notifications permission if you enable automation or reminder notifications. Access is used for the sessions and actions you initiate. You can manage these permissions at any time in System Settings → Privacy & Security. If you deny or limit a permission, some features may not work.

10. Detection and Analysis Limitations

Snip Studio may use on-device analysis to help you — for example, recognizing text, detecting faces, QR codes, barcodes, or sensitive details such as emails and other identifiers, detecting windows and scroll regions, and stitching a scrolling capture into one image. This analysis is heuristic and behaviour can vary between apps, image formats, operating-system versions, devices, and other software.

Snip Studio attempts to perform the actions you request, but does not guarantee that: (a) every element will be detected, categorized, or surfaced correctly; (b) any suggestion, grouping, or category is accurate or complete; (c) any face, code, or sensitive detail is fully or correctly identified; or (d) any text recognized from an image is accurate. You are responsible for reviewing each capture before you rely on it, share it, or delete it.

11. Capture, Edit, Redaction, and Delete Workflow

At your request, Snip Studio helps you capture and record your screen, mark up and edit what you capture, hide sensitive details, export or share the result, and delete captures you no longer want.

Redaction and Safe Copy. When you blur, pixelate, black out, or otherwise hide content and then export or share a capture, Snip Studio produces a copy that is designed so that the hidden content is removed from that exported or shared copy and not recoverable from it. A separate editable version may remain on your Mac under your control. You are responsible for sharing only the copy you intend to share, and for confirming that a copy hides what you expect before you send it.

Deletion. When you delete a capture from your Snip Studio library, that deletion may be permanent or difficult to reverse. Other copies may still exist elsewhere — for example in exports you made, the clipboard, backups, or any app or service to which you already sent a copy — and Snip Studio does not control those.

You understand and agree that these workflows rely on operating-system behaviour, permissions, available storage, device state, and other apps or services. Although they are designed to complete the requested operation safely where the platform supports it, factors outside Snip Studio’s control may, in rare circumstances, affect the result. This includes, without limitation, situations in which Snip Studio terminates unexpectedly, the device loses power or is restarted, the operating system force-quits or terminates the application under low-memory or thermal pressure, you manually close the application, a system update interrupts an operation, storage becomes full, or any other interruption — partial, complete, or unrecoverable — occurs. In all such cases the developer accepts no liability for any resulting loss of, or damage to, any capture, recording, file, or related content. You agree to maintain independent backups of content that is important to you.

User acknowledgement: I understand that Snip Studio captures and records my screen, edits what I capture, and can hide sensitive details at my request. I understand that redaction and Safe Copy are applied when I export or share, and are intended to be permanent in that exported or shared copy, while a separate editable version may remain on my Mac. I understand that deleting a capture may be irreversible, that other copies may exist outside Snip Studio, and that outcomes can be affected by my device, permissions, storage, and other software. I accept this risk. This acknowledgement is also presented to me in Snip Studio, and my in-app acceptance is recorded as my consent.

12. Purchases, Payments, and Refunds

In-app purchases as licences. Each in-app purchase you complete grants you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access the corresponding feature, feature set, plan, or entitlement within Snip Studio for the period and on the terms identified at the time of purchase. You do not acquire ownership of any feature, function, code, content, design, or other component of Snip Studio by completing an in-app purchase. All in-app purchases are licences to use, not transfers of property or sales of goods, and remain subject to these Terms, the Apple Usage Rules, and applicable law.

Purchases and in-app purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. Snip Studio does not receive or store your full payment card details. Apple may process purchase, refund, tax, invoice, subscription, device, account, or transaction information under Apple’s own terms and privacy policies. Snip Studio is not responsible for Apple’s payment processing, refund decisions, billing rules, taxes, exchange rates, chargebacks, subscription management, Family Sharing rules, or App Store availability. Refund requests must be submitted through Apple and are subject to Apple’s policies and applicable law.

Right of Withdrawal (EU/EEA Consumers). If you are a consumer resident in the European Union or the European Economic Area, you have a statutory right to withdraw from a distance purchase within 14 days. By starting to use Snip Studio, any unlocked feature, or any in-app purchase immediately after the App Store transaction is confirmed, you expressly request immediate performance and acknowledge that you will lose the right of withdrawal once performance has begun, in accordance with Article 16(m) of Directive 2011/83/EU and equivalent national law. Apple obtains and records this consent on the developer’s behalf at the time of purchase.

13. Subscription Terms and Auto-Renewal

A subscription grants you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access the Snip Studio features designated for that subscription tier, for the duration of an active and paid subscription period and subject to these Terms, the Apple Usage Rules, and applicable law. You do not acquire ownership of any feature, function, code, or content of Snip Studio by subscribing. When a subscription lapses, is cancelled, is refunded, is revoked, or otherwise ends, the corresponding licence ends and the corresponding features return to the locked state until you renew.

The subscription title, length, and price displayed in the App Store and inside the application at the time of purchase are the binding terms of that subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew at the displayed price for the same period unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple Account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period unless you have cancelled. You can manage your subscription, view its renewal date, change it, or turn off auto-renew at any time through Settings on your Apple device, under your Apple Account name and the Subscriptions section.

Cancelling a subscription stops future renewals. The current paid period remains active until its end date, and no partial refund is provided for the unused portion of the current period unless required by applicable law. If a subscription is interrupted because Apple cannot collect payment, Apple may offer a grace period during which the entitlement remains active; if payment is not collected before the grace period ends, the subscription will lapse and paid features will return to the locked state. If the renewal price increases, Apple will notify you in advance and, where required, request your express consent before the next renewal is charged.

14. Apple Terms and Third-Party Services

Your use of Snip Studio may also be subject to Apple’s App Store terms, Apple Media Services terms, device terms, iCloud terms, operating-system terms, and any applicable third-party terms. You agree to comply with all applicable third-party terms when using Snip Studio.

External services and links. Snip Studio may include, link to, or interact with services provided by Apple or by other third parties, including the developer’s own published websites, supervisory-authority websites, and the European Online Dispute Resolution platform (together, “External Services”). External Services are provided by their respective operators and are subject to their terms and policies. The developer does not control, endorse, monitor, or assume responsibility for any External Service. You access and use External Services at your own risk, and the developer disclaims any liability arising from your use of any External Service to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Apple is not responsible for Snip Studio, its content, maintenance, support, claims, warranties, or your use of the application, except as Apple may separately provide under Apple’s own terms or applicable law.

15. Maintenance and Support

The developer is responsible for maintenance and support for Snip Studio only as stated in these Terms or as required by applicable law. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support services for Snip Studio. Support questions, complaints, or claims should be directed to: help@snippingstudio.app — MAHTCA GLOBAL, Bechetului, Nr. 26, Malu Mare, Dolj, Romania; Romanian Trade Register: J16/663/2018; VAT / CUI: 39070729.

16. Ownership of Your Content

You retain all rights you already have in your screenshots, recordings, and files. Snip Studio does not claim ownership of any capture, recording, file, or other content you create or process with the application. You represent that you have the necessary rights, permissions, or lawful authority to capture, record, edit, share, or delete whatever you process using Snip Studio, including where a capture or recording contains the content, information, or likeness of another person.

17. Intellectual Property

Snip Studio, including its software, design, interface, graphics, icons, workflows, branding, names, documentation, and related materials, is owned by the developer or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. You may not use the Snip Studio name, logos, branding, screenshots, interface, or other proprietary materials in a way that suggests endorsement, affiliation, resale, redistribution, or ownership unless the developer gives prior written permission.

18. Privacy and Data Roles

Snip Studio operates on your Mac. The developer does not receive, transmit, access, host, or store the captures, recordings, or files that you handle within the application, all of which are stored locally on your Mac. A minimal record of your free-usage allowance and your acceptance of these Terms is stored in your own private iCloud account, as described in the Privacy Policy; the developer does not access or hold it.

Because the developer never sees or holds your content, the developer does not act as a “controller” or “processor” of that content within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation, the UK GDPR, or equivalent data-protection laws. When you use Snip Studio to capture, record, edit, or share content — including any personal data of yourself or of other persons that appears in it — you act as the person determining the purposes and means of that processing on your own device, and you are solely responsible for the lawful basis of that processing and for compliance with any data-protection, privacy, publicity, confidentiality, or consent obligations owed to any third party.

Trader information. MAHTCA GLOBAL, Bechetului Nr. 26, Malu Mare, Dolj, Romania; registered with the Romanian Trade Register under J16/663/2018; CUI 39070729; contactable at help@snippingstudio.app. In Romania, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing (ANSPDCP, www.dataprotection.ro). Consumers in other countries may complain to their local supervisory authority.

19. Security

Snip Studio is designed to operate locally, but no software, device, operating system, or workflow can be guaranteed to be error-free, uninterrupted, secure, or immune from data loss. You are responsible for securing your device, maintaining backups, managing permissions, updating your operating system, protecting your files, and controlling access to your captures.

20. No Warranty

Snip Studio is provided “as is” and “as available,” with all faults and without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the developer, product owners, contributors, licensors, and affiliates disclaim all warranties, representations, and conditions of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including, without limitation, the implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, title, accuracy, availability, uninterrupted operation, error-free operation, quiet enjoyment, non-infringement of third-party rights, detection accuracy, redaction completeness, capture or recording success, file recovery, and compatibility with any particular device, operating system, app, service, or workflow.

No oral or written information or advice given by the developer or by Apple shall create a warranty. Should Snip Studio or any function prove defective, you assume the entire cost of all necessary servicing, repair, recovery, replacement, or correction. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusions may not apply to you, and you may have additional rights under the mandatory consumer-protection law of your country of residence. You use Snip Studio at your own risk.

21. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the developer, product owners, contributors, licensors, and affiliates will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, punitive, or similar damages, including damages for: (a) loss of captures, recordings, files, originals, backups, or data; (b) failed, partial, delayed, unexpected, or irreversible capture, recording, redaction, export, or deletion operations, including those caused by application crashes, device power loss, force-quit, operating-system termination, low-memory or thermal termination, system updates, or any other interruption; (c) corruption, format changes, or compatibility issues; (d) disclosure of, or failure to hide, sensitive content, or reliance on the app’s detection or suggestions; (e) lost profits, lost revenue, lost business, lost opportunity, reputational harm, emotional distress, or business interruption; (f) actions of Apple, iCloud, device storage, operating systems, third-party apps, cloud services, or other external systems; (g) unlawful, harmful, negligent, or unauthorized use of Snip Studio by you or any third party.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the developer’s total aggregate liability for all claims related to Snip Studio will not exceed the greater of: (a) the price you paid for the specific Snip Studio product or in-app purchase from which the claim arises; or (b) EUR 25. This cap applies per user and across all claims arising from the same user’s use of Snip Studio.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where liability cannot legally be excluded, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, for fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable consumer-protection law.

22. Indemnity

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the developer, product owners, contributors, licensors, affiliates, officers, employees, agents, and successors (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, demands, investigations, regulatory inquiries, enforcement actions, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, fines, penalties, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, expert fees, and reasonable internal investigation costs, whether arising in any jurisdiction in the world, that arise from or relate to: (a) your use, misuse, or inability to use Snip Studio; (b) the captures, recordings, files, edits, redactions, or deletions you make using Snip Studio; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation of any law, rule, regulation, court order, contract, privacy right, data-protection right, intellectual property right, publicity right, or third-party right, including the EU GDPR, the UK GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act, the Brazilian LGPD, the Chinese Personal Information Protection Law, the Indian Digital Personal Data Protection Act, the Australian Privacy Principles, and the Canadian PIPEDA; (e) any claim brought by a person depicted in, recorded in, or associated with any capture or recording you made, kept, shared, or deleted using Snip Studio; (f) your reliance on content processed using Snip Studio; (g) your use of Snip Studio in connection with employment, professional, evidence-preservation, journalistic, or fiduciary obligations owed to any third party; (h) any chargeback, payment dispute, or fraudulent transaction initiated by you.

The Indemnified Parties may, at their sole option and at your expense, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate. You will not settle, compromise, or admit liability without the prior written consent of the developer. You will promptly notify the developer at help@snippingstudio.app of any actual or threatened claim. Your indemnification obligations apply regardless of whether the underlying claim is ultimately found valid, frivolous, or without merit, and survive your deletion of Snip Studio and any termination of these Terms.

23. Product Claims

You and the developer acknowledge that the developer, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to Snip Studio or your possession and use of it, including: (a) product liability claims; (b) claims that Snip Studio fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; (c) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, data protection, or similar laws; (d) claims relating to capture, redaction, or app performance. This section does not make the developer liable for claims or damages that are excluded, limited, or disclaimed elsewhere in these Terms to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

24. Intellectual Property Claims

If a third party claims that Snip Studio or your possession and use of it infringes that party’s intellectual property rights, the developer, not Apple, is responsible for investigating, defending, settling, and discharging that claim, subject to these Terms and applicable law. You must promptly notify the developer of any such claim and must not admit liability, settle, or compromise any claim involving Snip Studio without the developer’s prior written consent.

25. Apple Warranty Acknowledgement

If Snip Studio fails to conform to any applicable warranty that cannot legally be disclaimed, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price for Snip Studio, if any, in accordance with Apple’s applicable rules. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to Snip Studio. Any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are the responsibility of the developer only to the extent required by applicable law and subject to the limitations and disclaimers in these Terms.

26. Export and Legal Compliance

You represent and warrant that: (a) you are not located in a country or region subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; (b) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties; (c) your use of Snip Studio will comply with all applicable export control, sanctions, trade, data protection, privacy, intellectual property, and consumer protection laws. You may not use, export, re-export, import, sell, release, or transfer Snip Studio except as permitted by applicable law and these Terms.

United States Government End-Users. Snip Studio and any related documentation are “Commercial Items,” as defined at 48 C.F.R. §2.101, consisting of “Commercial Computer Software” and “Commercial Computer Software Documentation,” and are licensed to United States Government end-users only as Commercial Items and with only the rights granted to all other end-users under these Terms.

27. Apple Third-Party Beneficiary

Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are intended third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. After you accept these Terms, Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries have the right to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

28. Availability, Updates, and Feature Changes

The developer may update, modify, suspend, remove, replace, or discontinue Snip Studio or any feature at any time, subject to applicable law and Apple’s rules. Some features may depend on device capabilities, operating-system versions, permissions, storage availability, or third-party services. The developer does not guarantee that Snip Studio or any feature will remain available, compatible, unchanged, or supported forever.

29. Events Outside the Developer’s Control

The developer is not liable for any delay, failure, partial performance, data loss, service interruption, feature unavailability, degraded performance, loss of access, loss of entitlement recognition, or other adverse outcome caused, in whole or in part, by any event or condition outside the developer’s reasonable control, including: acts or omissions of Apple, the App Store, the Apple Developer Program, or Apple’s in-app purchase or iCloud services; changes, deprecations, or removals in any operating system, service, permission, file format, or device capability; acts or failures of device hardware, third-party applications, cloud services, file providers, or network providers; cyber attacks, intrusions, malware, or unauthorized access; natural disasters, pandemics, war, civil disturbance, terrorism; governmental, regulatory, or judicial action; power, utility, or internet failure; labour disputes; and failures of payment processors or App Store billing systems. During any such event, the developer may suspend, restrict, or modify any feature without prior notice and without liability, and is under no obligation to provide refunds, credits, or compensation except where required by applicable law.

30. One-Time Purchase In-App Products

Snip Studio may offer one or more “One-Time Payment,” “Lifetime Access,” or similar non-consumable in-app purchases.

A one-time / non-consumable purchase grants you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence — not ownership — to access the corresponding Snip Studio feature set. The duration is the lifetime of that non-consumable licence as recognised by Apple’s App Store systems and the lifetime of the applicable Snip Studio product, feature set, platform support, and technical availability. It does not transfer to you any ownership interest in Snip Studio, any feature, any code, any content, or any underlying intellectual property, and does not mean the lifetime of the user, the developer, any company, any device, any operating system, the App Store, Apple services, or any third-party service.

A one-time purchase is intended to mean that, after Apple successfully processes the purchase, the developer will not charge you again for the same purchased Snip Studio feature set on the same supported platform, so long as: (a) the purchase remains valid and is not refunded, reversed, revoked, cancelled, charged back, found fraudulent, or otherwise invalidated by Apple or applicable law; (b) Snip Studio remains available, maintained, technically operable, and supported on the relevant platform; (c) the relevant device, operating system, App Store account, and Apple services continue to support recognition or restoration of the purchase; (d) continued access is not prevented by law, regulation, court order, platform rule, security requirement, technical limitation, or circumstances outside the developer’s reasonable control.

A one-time purchase covers the feature set identified at the time of purchase, together with any fixes, compatibility updates, or improvements the developer chooses to include, but does not automatically include separate future applications, separate products or services, features released as a distinct paid product or subscription, features on platforms not included in the original purchase, or third-party services offered separately. Where supported by Apple, you may restore a valid purchase using the same Apple Account used for the original purchase. The developer does not control Apple’s purchase records, refund decisions, App Store account status, Family Sharing behaviour, App Store availability, device compatibility, or operating-system support.

31. Assignment

You may not assign, transfer, delegate, or sublicense your rights or obligations under these Terms without the developer’s prior written consent, except where prohibited by applicable law. The developer may assign, transfer, or delegate these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, sale of assets, transfer of the app, change of control, or similar transaction, subject to applicable law.

32. Modification of Terms

Authoritative version. The version of these Terms published at https://snippingstudio.app/terms is the authoritative and binding version. The copy made available within Snip Studio is a reference copy for your convenience and may, from time to time, lag the authoritative version; where they differ, the authoritative version controls.

Acceptance is continuous. You accept these Terms each time you download, install, open, access, purchase from, subscribe to, or use Snip Studio, or any feature, in-app purchase, or subscription within it.

Updates. The developer may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in Snip Studio, applicable law, Apple’s requirements, or the developer’s practices. When updated, the Effective Date and Version will be revised. Where a change materially affects your rights, the developer will use reasonable efforts to notify you within Snip Studio before the change takes effect. Your remedy if you do not accept an update is to stop using and delete Snip Studio. These principles apply equally to the Snip Studio Privacy Policy (https://snippingstudio.app/privacy) and Acceptable Use Policy (https://snippingstudio.app/aup).

33. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of Snip Studio are governed by the laws of Romania, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (Vienna, 11 April 1980) is expressly excluded. You and the developer agree that the courts of Dolj County, Romania have non-exclusive jurisdiction to hear any such dispute.

Nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of mandatory consumer-protection rules of the country in which you reside. EU/EEA/UK consumers may rely on those rules and may bring proceedings in the courts of their country of residence in the cases permitted by those rules. EU consumers may also access the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr; the developer’s contact email for ODR purposes is help@snippingstudio.app.

34. Severability

If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that part will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law or modified to achieve the closest lawful effect. The remaining parts of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

35. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Snip Studio Privacy Policy and Acceptable Use Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and the developer regarding Snip Studio and replace any prior or contemporaneous agreements. Apple’s terms, App Store rules, and applicable third-party terms may also apply separately.

36. Language

These Terms may be translated for convenience. If there is a conflict between a translation and the English version, the English version controls, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

37. Final User Acknowledgement

By downloading, installing, opening, accessing, purchasing, or using Snip Studio, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not download, install, open, access, purchase, or use Snip Studio.
