Scraps
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Scraps (the "App"), a local media utility for iOS, developed and published by Alex Lee ("we," "us," or "our"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not download, install, or use the App.
These Terms form a binding agreement between you and us. Apple Inc. is not a party to this agreement and is not responsible for the App or its content. See Section 12 for Apple-specific disclosures required by the App Store.
Section 1
Scraps is a local media utility that lets you capture and organize photos and other media content — and in future versions, may also support audio, video, documents, annotations, and other file types (collectively, "Content") — assign each item an expiration window you control, and allow that Content to delete itself automatically on a schedule you configure.
Everything Scraps does, it does entirely on your device. We operate no servers. We collect no data. We have no ability — technical or otherwise — to access, view, recover, or restore anything you create or store within the App.
These Terms apply to the current version of the App and to all future versions, regardless of what new features or Content types are added. Where a future feature requires additional terms, we will present those supplemental terms to you before you use that feature.
Section 2
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the App on any Apple-branded device you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial purposes.
Where supported by Apple's Family Sharing program, members of your Family Sharing group may also use the App under this license.
This license does not permit you to, and you agree not to:
All rights not expressly granted in these Terms are reserved by us.
Section 3
You are responsible for all Content you capture, create, import, annotate, or store using the App, and for all activity that occurs on your device in connection with the App.
You agree not to use the App to capture, store, or process Content that:
Because Scraps operates entirely on-device and we have no ability to monitor, access, or review your Content, enforcement of these terms is your responsibility. We are not liable for any Content you choose to create or retain using the App.
Section 4
Scraps is built around a single architectural principle: your Content never leaves your device.
We state this clearly and completely:
If you grant location permission, the App uses your device's GPS to tag Content with the coordinates at which it was captured. Those coordinates are stored on your device and are never transmitted elsewhere.
Section 5
Scraps may request the following permissions. Each is used solely on-device for the purposes described:
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Camera | Capture photos and, in future versions, video |
| Microphone | Capture audio in future versions of the App |
| Photo Library | Save Content to your camera roll when you choose to keep it |
| Location (When In Use) | Tag Content with GPS coordinates at time of capture |
We request only the permissions the App actively uses. Any new permission required by a future feature will be requested in-context with a description of its purpose.
You may revoke any permission at any time through iOS Settings. Revoking a permission will limit or disable the corresponding App functionality.
Section 6
6.1 — How deletion works
When an item reaches the end of its expiration window — including any Last Chance warning period you have configured — it is permanently deleted from your device by the App. This action is irreversible. Deleted Content cannot be recovered by you, by us, or by Apple.
6.2 — Your responsibility
You are solely responsible for:
6.3 — No warranty of timing
We do not warrant that auto-deletion will execute at any precise moment, that Content will be retained for any guaranteed duration, or that the App will behave identically following an iOS update, device restore, device migration, or other system-level change.
6.4 — No liability for loss
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we bear no liability for the loss of any Content, whether resulting from:
Section 7
7.1 — Pro Features
The App may offer optional premium features ("Pro Features") purchasable through Apple's in-app purchase system. The availability and content of Pro Features may change over time.
7.2 — Billing
All purchases are processed exclusively by Apple. We do not handle, process, or retain your payment information. Your purchase is governed by Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions in effect at the time of purchase.
7.3 — All sales are final
We do not offer refunds. Refund requests must be submitted directly to Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. Apple's refund policies govern all purchase disputes.
7.4 — Non-transferability
Purchases are associated with your Apple ID and are not transferable to another Apple ID or another person, except as permitted by Apple's Family Sharing program.
7.5 — Restoration
If your Pro Features become unavailable after reinstalling the App or on a new device, use the in-app "Restore Purchases" function to restore eligible purchases linked to your Apple ID.
7.6 — Changes to Pro Features
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any Pro Feature at any time. We will endeavor to give reasonable advance notice of material changes. If a Pro Feature is permanently discontinued, we will attempt to provide a comparable alternative or, where no comparable alternative exists, request a refund on your behalf through Apple's processes. We are not liable for any modification or discontinuation of Pro Features beyond this commitment.
7.7 — Pricing
The price displayed in the App at the time of purchase is the controlling price. Prices may change at any time. Existing purchasers are not affected by price changes on the same item.
7.8 — Free trials
If we offer a free trial for any Pro Feature, we will clearly disclose the trial duration, the features that will become unavailable when the trial ends, and the price that will apply when the trial converts to a paid subscription. Trials that are not canceled before the stated end date will automatically convert.
Section 8
8.1 — Mapping services
The App integrates with Apple Maps and Google Maps to display the location at which Content was captured, when location permission is granted. Your use of these services is subject to their respective terms:
8.2 — No endorsement
We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, content, or privacy practices of any third-party service. Inclusion of a third-party service in the App does not constitute our endorsement of that service or its operator.
8.3 — Future integrations
We may add integrations with additional third-party services in future versions of the App. We will disclose any new integration that involves transmission of your data outside your device before activating it, and will require your affirmative consent where required by applicable law.
8.4 — No data sharing
No third-party service we currently integrate with receives your Content, GPS data, or any identifying information from the App. Map services receive only the display coordinates necessary to render a location pin.
Section 9
9.1 — Our property
All rights, title, and interest in and to the App — including its source code, compiled binaries, user interface design, visual assets, trademarks, trade dress, and all other elements — are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by United States and international intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership interest in the App to you.
9.2 — Your Content
You own the Content you create using the App. We claim no rights in your Content whatsoever. Because we operate no servers and never receive your Content, no content license from you to us is necessary or granted.
9.3 — Feedback
If you submit suggestions, ideas, or feedback about the App to us, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, incorporate, and act on that feedback without any obligation to you. You represent that your feedback does not contain confidential information.
9.4 — Infringement claims
If you believe any element of the App infringes your intellectual property rights, please notify us at: [email protected]
Section 10
THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION:
YOU ASSUME ALL RISK ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR USE OF THE APP AND WITH THE PERMANENT DELETION OF CONTENT BY THE APP.
Some jurisdictions do not permit exclusion of certain implied warranties. In those jurisdictions, the above disclaimers apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
Section 11
11.1 — Exclusion of consequential damages
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION:
ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE APP, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
11.2 — Liability cap
OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (a) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM; OR (b) TEN U.S. DOLLARS (USD $10.00).
11.3 — Basis of the bargain
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY IN THIS SECTION REFLECT A REASONABLE ALLOCATION OF RISK AND ARE AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES. WE WOULD NOT HAVE PROVIDED THE APP ON THESE TERMS WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS.
Some jurisdictions do not permit certain limitations or exclusions of liability. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the minimum extent permitted by applicable law.
Section 12
As required by Apple's App Store terms, you acknowledge and agree to the following:
12.1 — Parties
These Terms are between you and us only. Apple is not a party to these Terms and has no rights or obligations under them, except as expressly stated in this Section.
12.2 — Maintenance and support
We are solely responsible for providing maintenance and support for the App, as described in these Terms or as required by applicable law. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to provide any maintenance or support for the App.
12.3 — Warranty
We are solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App (if any) to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.
12.4 — Product liability and regulatory claims
We — not Apple — are solely responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the App or your possession and use of it, including: (a) product liability claims; (b) claims that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (c) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
12.5 — Intellectual property infringement
If a third party claims that the App, or your possession and use of the App, infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, we — not Apple — will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of that claim.
12.6 — Legal compliance
You represent and warrant that: (a) you are not located in a country that is subject to a United States Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (b) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
12.7 — Third-party terms
You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the App (for example, your wireless service agreement).
12.8 — Third-party beneficiary
Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. Upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right — and will be deemed to have accepted the right — to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.
Your use of the App must also comply with Apple's then-current App Store Terms of Service and Media Services Terms and Conditions.
Section 13
13.1 — No personal data collected
Scraps does not collect, transmit, receive, or store any personal data. All Content you create within the App exists solely on your device and is never transmitted to us or to any third party we control.
13.2 — No servers
We operate no servers, databases, or cloud infrastructure that receive data from the App. There is nothing for us to access, delete, export, or correct on your behalf because we hold nothing.
13.3 — For users in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland
Because we do not collect or process your personal data, the data-subject rights established by the General Data Protection Regulation and equivalent legislation — including rights of access, rectification, erasure, portability, and objection — are not applicable to us. We have no data to produce, correct, or delete. If you wish to delete your Content, you can do so directly within the App or by uninstalling it.
13.4 — For California residents
Because we do not sell, share, or collect personal information as defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act), CCPA/CPRA opt-out and deletion rights have no application to our processing of your data.
13.5 — Third-party SDKs and services
If we incorporate any third-party SDK, analytics library, or service in a future version of the App that does collect data, we will update our Privacy Policy before releasing that version and obtain any consent required by applicable law. Our Privacy Policy governs all data practices and supplements these Terms.
Section 14
The App is not directed to children under the age of 13 and is not intended for use by any person under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Because the App collects no personal data from any user, it does not collect personal data from children.
If you are under 13, you may not use the App. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has used the App in violation of this section, please contact us at the address in Section 21.
Section 15
You represent and warrant that: (a) you are not located in, and are not a national or resident of, any country to which the United States has embargoed goods or services; and (b) you are not identified on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties, including the Specially Designated Nationals list maintained by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control. You agree to comply with all applicable export control laws and regulations of the United States and any other applicable jurisdiction in connection with your use of the App.
Section 16
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us and our officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, successors, and assigns from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:
We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense of that matter.
Section 17
We may revise these Terms at any time. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this document will reflect any revision.
For material changes — meaning changes that meaningfully affect your rights or obligations — we will provide notice through the App, via an App Store update description, or by another reasonable means, at least 14 days before the changes take effect, where practicable.
For non-material changes — such as typographical corrections, clarifications that do not alter the substance of any provision, or updates required by law — we may make changes with immediate effect.
Your continued use of the App after the stated effective date of any revision constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not accept the revised Terms, your remedy is to stop using the App.
Section 18
18.1 — Termination by us
We may suspend or terminate your license to use the App at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or applicable law. Because the App is local-only, "termination" in practice means we may push an update that disables functionality for users in violation of these Terms, or take action through Apple's App Store systems.
18.2 — Termination by you
You may terminate these Terms at any time by uninstalling the App from all devices and ceasing all use. Upon uninstallation, the license granted in Section 2 immediately terminates.
18.3 — Effect of termination
Termination does not affect any rights or obligations that accrued before termination. The following Sections survive termination of these Terms for any reason: 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 19, and 20.
Section 19
19.1 — Governing law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
19.2 — Informal resolution
Before initiating any formal proceeding, you agree to contact us at the address in Section 21 and give us 30 days to attempt to resolve the dispute informally.
19.3 — Binding arbitration
If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App — other than claims for injunctive relief under Section 19.5 — will be resolved by final, binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will take place in Santa Clara County, California, or, if you prefer, via video conference. Each party will bear its own attorneys' fees and costs unless the arbitrator determines that a claim or defense was frivolous or asserted for an improper purpose.
19.4 — Class action waiver
19.5 — Equitable relief
Either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent or restrain actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights or confidential information, without being required to post bond or other security and without proof of actual damages.
Section 20
Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy (incorporated by reference), constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the App and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations, and understandings relating to it.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and all remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
No waiver. Our failure or delay in enforcing any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. A waiver is only effective if made in writing and signed by us.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may freely assign our rights and obligations under these Terms — including in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets — without restriction or notice to you, except as required by applicable law.
Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance arising from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, acts of government, infrastructure failures, or third-party service outages.
Relationship of parties. These Terms do not create any partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise, or agency relationship between you and us.
No third-party beneficiaries. Except as expressly stated in Section 12 with respect to Apple, no third party is a beneficiary of these Terms and no third party has the right to enforce any provision of these Terms.
Language. These Terms are written in English. If translated into another language, the English version controls in the event of any conflict.
