Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and QuickBits OÜ ("QuickBits", "we", "us", or "our"), a private limited company registered in Tallinn, Estonia. They govern your use of Silk, our photo editor for iPhone (the "App"), and the website at getsilk.app (the "Site", and together with the App, the "Service"). These Terms also serve as the end-user licence agreement (EULA) for the App.

By downloading, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Please also read our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your personal data and is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

1. Who you contract with

These Terms are between you and QuickBits only. Apple Inc. is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the App or its content. Section 14 sets out additional terms that apply because you obtain the App through the Apple App Store.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old, or the age of digital majority in your country, to use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to accept these Terms for it.

3. Your account

Some features require an account, which you create using Sign in with Apple or Sign in with Google. You are responsible for the activity under your account and for keeping access to your sign-in method secure. Notify us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.

4. Licence to use the App

Subject to these Terms and your subscription where required, QuickBits grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to download and use one copy of the App on Apple devices that you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use, in accordance with the Apple App Store Terms of Service and the Usage Rules in them.

This is a licence, not a sale. We and our licensors retain all rights not expressly granted.

5. Subscriptions and billing

Silk is offered on an auto-renewable subscription.

• Plans and price. Silk is $3.99 per week or $34.99 per year (or the equivalent in your local currency as shown in the App Store at the time of purchase). There is no separate "PRO" tier — a subscription unlocks the entire App.
• Payment. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. All purchases are processed by Apple, and Apple's terms govern the transaction.
• Auto-renewal. Your subscription renews automatically for the same period at the then-current price unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Managing and cancelling. You can manage or cancel your subscription, or turn off auto-renewal, in your Apple ID account settings (Settings → your name → Subscriptions). Deleting the App does not cancel your subscription.
• Free trials and offers. If we offer a free trial or introductory offer, any unused portion is forfeited when you purchase a subscription, where Apple's rules so provide.
• Refunds. Purchases are handled by Apple and refunds are subject to Apple's policies and your statutory rights. We do not separately process payments and generally cannot issue refunds ourselves.
• Price changes. We may change subscription prices. Where required, Apple will notify you and ask for your consent before a price increase takes effect; otherwise the change applies from your next renewal.

Nothing in this section limits any non-waivable consumer rights you have under the law of your country of residence.

6. Your content

"Your Content" means the photos, edits, presets, and other materials you import, capture, create, or store in the App.

• You own it. As between you and QuickBits, you retain all rights in Your Content.
• Licence to operate the Service. You grant QuickBits a limited, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, transmit, process, and display Your Content solely to operate and provide the Service to you — for example, to render your edits and to sync and restore your Vault across your devices. We do not use Your Content for advertising, profiling, or to train artificial-intelligence models.
• Your responsibility. You are responsible for Your Content and confirm you have the rights necessary to use it with the Service. Do not upload content that is unlawful, infringes others' rights, or that you are not permitted to process.
• Backups. You are responsible for keeping your own backups of important images. While we aim to keep Vault content available, we are not a backup service of last resort.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to, and not to allow others to:

• copy, modify, distribute, sell, rent, or sublicense the App, except as the law expressly permits;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, or attempt to derive its source code, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
• use the Service to break the law, infringe intellectual-property or privacy rights, or process content you have no right to process;
• interfere with, disrupt, or place undue load on the Service, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to it; or
• remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices.

8. Intellectual property

The App, the Site, the Silk name and logo, and all related software, designs, and content (other than Your Content) are owned by QuickBits or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for the licence in Section 4, these Terms grant you no rights in our intellectual property.

9. Third-party services

The Service relies on third parties, including Apple (App Store, payments, Sign in with Apple) and Google (Sign in with Google). Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for them.

10. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any defect will be corrected.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you, and you may have additional consumer rights that these Terms do not limit.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

• QuickBits and its suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, goodwill, or images, arising out of or relating to the Service; and
• our total liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the liability, or USD 50.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or your non-waivable statutory consumer rights.

12. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold QuickBits harmless from claims and costs arising out of Your Content or your misuse of the Service in breach of these Terms. This does not apply to claims arising from our own wrongdoing.

13. Term, suspension, and termination

These Terms apply while you use the Service. You may stop using the Service at any time and delete your account in the App. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service. On termination, the licence in Section 4 ends and you must stop using the App; sections that by their nature should survive (including Sections 6–12 and 15) will survive.

14. App Store (Apple) terms

Because you obtain the App through the Apple App Store, the following additional terms apply. In the event of a conflict, the following terms control over the rest of these Terms with respect to your use of the App on Apple devices.

• Acknowledgement. These Terms are between you and QuickBits only, and not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
• Scope of licence. The licence granted to you in Section 4 is limited to a non-transferable licence to use the App on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the App may be accessed by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
• Maintenance and support. QuickBits is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support for the App. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support.
• Warranty. QuickBits is 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 of the App to you (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.
• Product claims. QuickBits, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the App or your use of it, including (i) product-liability claims, (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and (iii) claims arising under consumer-protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
• Intellectual-property claims. QuickBits, not Apple, is responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of it infringes that third party's intellectual-property rights.
• Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist-supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Developer contact. If you have any questions, complaints, or claims regarding the App, contact QuickBits at hello@getsilk.app.
• Third-party terms. You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App.
• Third-party beneficiary. Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance 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.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Estonia, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If you are a consumer, you also benefit from the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, and nothing here deprives you of that protection.

Disputes will be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Estonia. If you are an EU consumer, you may also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "last updated" date and, where appropriate, notify you in the App or by email. Your continued use of the Service after an update means you accept the revised Terms.

17. General

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and QuickBits regarding the Service.
