Version: [2025-10-10]

Scope: iOS local apps (the “Pocket Series Apps”) published by iPocket Studio (“we”).

1. Acceptance of Terms

Please read this Agreement carefully before you download, install, or use the Pocket Series Apps. By downloading, installing, accessing, or using any Pocket Series App, you agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not install or use the app and uninstall it.

  • If you obtained the app via the Apple App Store, the Apple Standard End User License Agreement (EULA) also applies; if there is any conflict between this Agreement and the EULA, the EULA prevails.
  • We may update this Agreement from time to time; material changes will be notified via in‑app announcements/release notes. The updated Agreement takes effect upon publication.

2. Eligibility & Account

  • You must have the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement. Minors should use the app under guardian supervision.
  • Account (if applicable): Certain features may require sign‑in or subscription; you must ensure your account information is true and accurate and keep credentials secure. You are responsible for consequences arising from improper safekeeping of your credentials.

3. License & Scope of Use

Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, we grant you a limited, non‑exclusive, non‑transferable, non‑sublicensable license to install and use the Pocket Series Apps on iOS devices that you own or control for personal, non‑commercial purposes only. Except as permitted by law, you must not:

  • copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code;
  • bypass security measures or access non‑public interfaces or data;
  • rent, lend, sublicense, distribute, or otherwise commercialize the app;
  • use the app for unlawful, infringing, harassing, fraudulent, malicious, or harmful activities.

4. User Content & Conduct

  • User Content (if applicable): You are solely responsible for the content you create, upload, or process via the app and warrant that such content does not infringe any third‑party rights.
  • Prohibited Conduct (examples, non‑exhaustive):
    • infringing others’ intellectual property, privacy, or reputation;
    • publishing or disseminating illegal, harmful, abusive, discriminatory, hateful, violent, or pornographic content;
    • collecting or processing others’ data without authorization, or interfering with others’ normal use;
    • attempting to probe, scan, or test system vulnerabilities, or impacting the stability and security of the app/services.
  • Where permitted by law, we may remove or restrict access to suspected illegal or violating content and cooperate with authorities when necessary.

5. Purchases, Subscriptions & Trials (if applicable)

  • In‑App Purchases (IAP)/Subscriptions: Payments and billing are handled by Apple; we do not access complete payment information. Prices, taxes, and currencies follow Apple’s display.
  • Auto‑Renewal: For subscriptions, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the billing cycle, the subscription renews automatically and Apple will charge you. Manage or cancel in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions.
  • Trials & Promotions: When a trial ends, unless canceled, it renews at the subscription price (if applicable).
  • Refunds: Refunds follow Apple’s policy. You can request a refund via https://reportaproblem.apple.com.

6. Privacy & Data

  • The Pocket Series Apps adhere to a local‑first/minimized collection principle. See our Privacy Policy (insert policy link/entry here).
  • If iCloud/CloudKit sync is involved, it is provided by Apple and subject to Apple’s privacy policies.
  • We will not use your personal information for purposes unrelated to core functionality without your consent.

7. Permissions & System Interfaces

To enable certain features, the app may request access to system permissions such as Camera, Microphone, Photos, Location, HealthKit, Notifications, Bluetooth, etc., upon your authorization. You can revoke authorization anytime in iOS Settings. Revoking permissions may disable related functionality.

8. Third‑Party Services & Open Source

  • Third‑Party Services (e.g., crash analytics, cloud sync, maps) may be governed by third‑party terms and privacy policies. We only invoke them to the necessary extent.
  • Open‑Source Components: The apps may use open‑source software. If an open‑source license conflicts with this Agreement, the applicable open‑source license prevails.

9. Intellectual Property

  • The Pocket Series Apps and all content included or provided (including but not limited to software, interfaces, icons, documentation, trademarks, and logos) are owned by us or respective rights holders and protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws.
  • Without written permission, you must not use our trade names, trademarks, domain names, logos, or trade dress.

  • We are not liable for interruptions or data loss caused by force majeure, maintenance, networks or platforms, third‑party service failures, or device compatibility differences (except as required by law).

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages, or loss of profits, data, or goodwill. For any claim, our total liability shall not exceed the fees you paid for the Pocket Series Apps in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim (for free apps, this cap is 0).
