Terms of Use

Effective date: May 10, 2026

Please read these Terms carefully. They contain important provisions including (a) significant limitations on the Developer's liability (Section 12), and (b) disclaimers regarding the accuracy, availability, and performance of the App (Section 11). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to all of these Terms.

These Terms of Use ("Terms") form a legally binding agreement between you ("you" or "User") and Gimsoft, an independent solo developer ("Developer", "Gimsoft", "we", "us", or "our"), the creator of the Scanqy mobile application (the "App"). By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not download, install, or use the App.

About the Developer: Scanqy is built and maintained by a single independent developer operating under the name "Gimsoft." Updates, bug fixes, and support are provided on a best-effort basis, when time and resources permit. By using the App, you accept this independent development model.

1. Acceptance and Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age (or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher) to use the App. By using the App, you represent and warrant that (a) you meet this age requirement, (b) you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract, (c) you are not prohibited from using the App under any applicable law, and (d) you are not located in any country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or on any U.S. Government list of restricted parties.

2. Description of the Service

Scanqy is a document and ID card scanning application for iOS that enables users to capture, process, organize, lock, and export documents and images using on-device processing. The App is offered in two tiers:

Features, limits, pricing, availability, and functionality of the App may change at any time at the Developer's sole discretion, with or without notice. The Developer makes no commitment to maintain any specific feature or behavior.

3. License Grant

Subject to your continuous compliance with these Terms, the Developer grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install, and use the App for your personal or internal business use on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as permitted by the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. This license does not permit you to:

  1. Copy, modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the App;
  2. Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code, except to the minimal extent expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this limitation;
  3. Remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices, labels, or trademarks;
  4. Rent, lease, lend, sell, resell, sublicense, publish, or otherwise transfer the App or any portion of it;
  5. Use the App to develop a competing product or benchmark against competing products;
  6. Use the App in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair it or interfere with any other user's use of the App;
  7. Use any automated system, including bots, scrapers, or similar tools, to access or interact with the App;
  8. Circumvent, disable, or interfere with any security, feature-gating, or subscription-verification mechanisms.

4. Pro Purchases, Subscriptions, Auto-Renewal, and Payments

4.1 Pro Plans

Scanqy Pro is offered both as an auto-renewable in-app subscription (weekly, monthly, or yearly) and as a one-time, non-consumable "Lifetime" purchase. The plans and prices applicable at the time of purchase will be displayed to you within the App and on the App Store. Local pricing may vary by region and is determined by Apple. The Lifetime purchase does not auto-renew and is not a subscription. "Lifetime" means access to Pro features for the lifetime of the App as made available by the Developer; it is not a guarantee that the App, any particular feature, or App Store availability will continue indefinitely.

4.2 Billing and Auto-Renewal

Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription automatically renews at the end of each billing period at the then-current subscription price, unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal at any time by visiting your Apple ID Account Settings after purchase. The Developer does not process payments, cannot initiate cancellations on your behalf, and has no ability to control Apple's billing systems.

4.3 Free Trials

If a free trial is offered, any unused portion of the trial period will be forfeited when you purchase a subscription. Free trials are available to new subscribers only and are subject to Apple's App Store rules and eligibility requirements.

4.4 Refunds

All subscription purchases are processed by Apple and are governed by Apple's refund policy. The Developer does not and cannot issue refunds directly. If you believe you are entitled to a refund, please submit your request through Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. Apple's decision is final as to refund eligibility; the Developer has no control over, and accepts no responsibility for, Apple's refund decisions.

4.5 Price Changes and Feature Changes

The Developer may change subscription prices, feature limits, and the contents of the Free and Pro tiers from time to time. Price changes will take effect at the next renewal following reasonable notice in accordance with Apple's guidelines. Your continued use after any change constitutes acceptance of the new price and/or feature set. You do not acquire any vested right to a particular feature, price, or limit by subscribing.

4.6 No Guarantee of Continued Availability

The Developer may discontinue the App, any feature, or any subscription tier at any time, for any reason, and without liability to you. If the App is discontinued, your sole and exclusive remedy is to cancel any active subscription through your Apple ID Account Settings; you will not be entitled to prorated refunds from the Developer.

5. User Content and Data

You retain all right, title, and interest in and to any documents, images, text, or other content you scan, import, create, or store using the App ("User Content"). The Developer claims no ownership rights in your User Content. All User Content is processed and stored exclusively on your device. The Developer does not upload, access, view, transmit, back up, or otherwise handle your User Content.

You are solely responsible for your User Content, including maintaining your own backups. The Developer is not liable, in any amount, for any loss, corruption, deletion, unauthorized disclosure, or inaccessibility of your User Content resulting from any cause, including but not limited to:

You agree to maintain independent backups of any User Content that is important to you. The Developer strongly recommends exporting important documents to iCloud, another cloud service, or external storage on a regular basis.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the App to:

The Developer reserves the right to investigate and take appropriate action against anyone who, in the Developer's sole discretion, violates this section, including terminating access to the App and cooperating with law enforcement.

7. OCR Accuracy and Document Integrity Disclaimer

The App performs optical character recognition (OCR) and image processing on-device using Apple's Vision framework and other iOS APIs. The Developer makes no warranty whatsoever regarding the accuracy, completeness, or legibility of OCR output or processed images. OCR results may contain errors, omissions, or misinterpretations, particularly for handwritten text, low-quality source images, unusual fonts, or multilingual content. You are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy of any extracted text or processed document before relying on it for any purpose, including legal, financial, medical, or official submissions. The Developer disclaims all liability for any consequences arising from reliance on OCR output or processed images produced by the App.

8. Intellectual Property

The App, including its source code, object code, design, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio, text, user interface, visual presentation, and all other content created by the Developer (collectively, the "Developer IP"), is the exclusive property of the Developer and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws worldwide. Except for the limited license granted in Section 3, no right, title, or interest in the Developer IP is transferred to you by these Terms. "Scanqy" and the Scanqy logo are trademarks of Gimsoft; you may not use these marks without the Developer's prior written consent.

Feedback License. If you provide any suggestions, feedback, comments, or ideas about the App ("Feedback"), you hereby grant the Developer a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully-paid, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and exploit such Feedback for any purpose, without any obligation or compensation to you.

9. Third-Party Services

The App communicates with Apple services for App Store purchases, subscription entitlement checks, restore purchases, and anonymous version checks through Apple's iTunes Search API. Your use of the App is also subject to the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions: apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/.

10. Privacy

Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how the App handles information. By using the App, you consent to the data practices described in the Privacy Policy.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

The App and all of its content, features, and services are provided on an "as is," "as available," and "with all faults" basis, without warranties of any kind, either express, implied, statutory, or otherwise.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Developer expressly disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, and any warranties arising from course of dealing, course of performance, or usage of trade. The Developer does not warrant that:

You acknowledge that the App is a consumer software product developed by an independent developer and does not carry the guarantees or support levels associated with enterprise software. You use the App at your own risk.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Developer, its affiliates, licensors, or suppliers be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, punitive, or enhanced damages of any kind, including without limitation damages for loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill, use, data, content, or other intangible losses, arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the App, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, product liability, or any other legal theory, and whether or not the Developer has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Developer's total cumulative liability to you for any and all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms, the App, or your use of the App, regardless of the cause of action or theory of liability, shall not exceed the greater of:

  1. The total amount you actually paid to Apple for Scanqy Pro in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim; or
  2. Five U.S. Dollars (USD $5.00).

If you are a free-tier user who has never paid for Scanqy Pro, the Developer's maximum liability shall be USD $5.00. You expressly acknowledge that these limitations are an essential element of the bargain between you and the Developer, and that the Developer would not offer the App without them. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Developer and its affiliates, licensors, and suppliers from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, proceedings, liabilities, damages, losses, judgments, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of or access to the App; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property, publicity, or privacy right; (d) any User Content you process through the App; (e) any allegation that documents you scanned, exported, or otherwise processed infringed any third party's rights or violated any law; or (f) your negligent or willful misconduct. The Developer reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify the Developer, and you agree to cooperate with the Developer's defense.

14. Termination

These Terms remain in effect while you use the App. You may terminate these Terms at any time by ceasing to use the App and uninstalling it from your device. The Developer may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without notice, including if you violate these Terms, if the Developer discontinues the App, or if the Developer reasonably believes termination is necessary to protect the Developer or other users. Upon termination, the license granted in Section 3 will immediately cease, but Sections 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 will survive termination.

15. Time Limitation on Claims

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any claim or cause of action arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App must be filed within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arose; otherwise, such claim or cause of action is permanently barred. This limitation applies regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, except where prohibited by applicable consumer protection law.

16. Consumer Rights (EU, UK, and Other Mandatory Jurisdictions)

If you are a consumer located in the European Union, European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Australia, or another jurisdiction that grants you mandatory consumer rights, nothing in these Terms limits or waives any rights that cannot be limited or waived under applicable law. In such jurisdictions, statutory warranties and consumer protection provisions apply in full, and the disclaimers and limitations in these Terms apply only to the maximum extent permitted by such law.

17. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Subject to Section 16 (Consumer Rights), any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts located in Colombo, Sri Lanka, and you expressly consent to such jurisdiction and venue. If you are a consumer located in a jurisdiction that grants you the right to bring proceedings in your local courts, that right is preserved to the extent required by mandatory law.

18. Apple-Specific Terms

The following provisions apply to your use of the App obtained from the Apple App Store, in addition to the other terms above:

The Developer reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify, replace, or supplement these Terms at any time. If a revision is material, the Developer will provide reasonable notice prior to any new terms taking effect, including by updating the "Effective date" at the top of this page.
