Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Pawel Dembski, trading as DeepSkyApps ("we", "us", "our"), the developer of the ShotsKit app for macOS ("the App"). By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. Eligibility

ShotsKit is a professional developer tool. You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country) to use the App. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the App only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.

2. License to use the App

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the App on Apple-branded devices you own or control, in accordance with these Terms and the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, including the Licensed Application End User License Agreement (EULA).

Use of the App to produce screenshots and product-page assets for apps you develop or are authorized to work on — including commercial and client work — is expressly permitted.

You may not:

  • Copy, modify, distribute, sell, sublicense, or lease the App itself;
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code, except where permitted by law;
  • Use the App in any unlawful way, or to build a competing product;
  • Attempt to disrupt, overload, or gain unauthorized access to the App, ShotsKit Cloud, or any supporting infrastructure, or to circumvent fair-use limits or entitlement checks.

3. ShotsKit Pro and payments

Composing projects in ShotsKit is free. ShotsKit Pro unlocks export and delivery features and is offered as a one-time purchase. There is no subscription. The current price is shown in the App before purchase and varies by region.

  • Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
  • ShotsKit Pro is a one-time, non-consumable purchase. It does not renew and nothing is charged again.
  • The purchase is tied to your Apple ID and can be restored on any Mac signed in to it using Restore Purchases in the App.
  • Future updates to the App are included; we may add features that are part of ShotsKit Pro or that remain free, at our discretion.

All purchases are processed by Apple and are subject to Apple's terms. Refunds are handled by Apple in accordance with its policies; we generally cannot issue refunds directly.

4. AI features

The App can generate captions and translate them using artificial intelligence, either on-device via Apple Intelligence or, where enabled, via ShotsKit Cloud AI. You understand and agree that:

  • AI-generated output may be inaccurate, incomplete, awkwardly phrased, or unsuitable for your listing, and you are responsible for reviewing and editing it before publishing.
  • Machine translation is not a substitute for professional localization, particularly for legal, medical, financial, or regulated claims. You are responsible for the accuracy and compliance of every localized string you ship.
  • Cloud AI is subject to fair-use limits intended to keep the service available to all Pro users. We may adjust those limits, and we may throttle or suspend access where use is abusive or automated.
  • Content you submit to cloud AI features is processed by third-party providers as described in our Privacy Policy. Do not submit information you would not want processed by an external AI service.
  • Availability of AI features depends on your macOS version, hardware, network, entitlement, and the availability of third-party providers. AI features are not guaranteed to be available at all times.

5. App Store Connect delivery

If you use the App Store Connect integration, you are responsible for the API key you provide and for everything done with it. By using this feature you confirm that you are authorized to access and modify the App Store Connect account and app records in question.

The App uses Apple's official App Store Connect API to create screenshot sets, upload screenshots, and, where you instruct it, replace or delete existing screenshots. These operations change your live App Store Connect data and may not be reversible. Review your selection before delivering. We are not responsible for content that is overwritten, removed, or rejected, for review outcomes, or for changes Apple makes to its API, screenshot specifications, or metadata rules.

6. Your content

You retain ownership of the screenshots, captions, templates, and other content you create with or import into the App ("Your Content"). We claim no rights in Your Content, and Your Content is not uploaded to us except as described in the Privacy Policy.

You are responsible for Your Content and confirm that you hold the rights to use it, including any app screenshots, imagery, fonts, and trademarks it contains. You agree not to use the App to produce content that is unlawful, infringing, deceptive, or that misrepresents an app's functionality in breach of the App Store Review Guidelines.

7. Intellectual property

The App, including its design, code, branding, device frames, bundled templates, and graphics (excluding Your Content), is owned by the developer and protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the license granted in Section 2, no rights are transferred to you. "ShotsKit" and "DeepSkyApps" and associated logos are marks of the developer. Third-party names and marks (such as Apple) belong to their respective owners, and their appearance in device frames or templates does not imply endorsement.

8. Third-party services

The App relies on third-party services, including Apple, RevenueCat, TelemetryDeck, and Anthropic. Your use of those services through the App may also be subject to their terms and policies. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of third-party providers, or for interruptions, changes, or discontinuation of their services.

9. Disclaimers

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, THAT EXPORTS OR UPLOADS WILL ALWAYS SUCCEED, THAT GENERATED OR TRANSLATED TEXT WILL BE ACCURATE, OR THAT YOUR SUBMISSION WILL BE APPROVED BY APPLE. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING YOUR OWN BACKUPS OF PROJECT FILES AND SOURCE SCREENSHOTS.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEVELOPER WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE APP — INCLUDING LOST OR OVERWRITTEN APP STORE CONNECT CONTENT, DELAYED RELEASES, OR REJECTED SUBMISSIONS. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR, IF YOU PAID NOTHING, £50 (OR THE EQUIVALENT IN YOUR CURRENCY).

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

11. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or terminate your access to ShotsKit Cloud AI, or to the App, if you breach these Terms or use the App in a way that could harm us, other users, or third parties. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 6 to 10) will survive.

12. 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 above and, where appropriate, note them in the App. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The courts of that jurisdiction will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, except where mandatory consumer-protection law in your country of residence provides otherwise.

14. Apple-specific terms

These Terms are between you and the developer, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App, including product liability, regulatory, or intellectual-property claims. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo and are not on any U.S. Government restricted-parties list.
