DocumentTerms of Service EffectiveApril 30, 2026 Version1.0

Terms of Service.

These terms govern your use of Skopos, a cinematography and location-scouting application for iPhone, published by Skopos Studio. Please read them.

This is an agreement between you (the “User”) and Skopos Studio (the “Developer,” “we,” or “us”) for the use of the Skopos application and any associated services (collectively, the “App”). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these terms.

The App is licensed, not sold, to you. This agreement is between you and Skopos Studio only — not Apple Inc. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of this agreement, as described in § 09 below.

§ 01License grant

Subject to your compliance with these terms, Skopos Studio grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download and use one copy of the App on Apple-branded products that you own or control, and as permitted by the Apple Media Services Terms (which include the standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement, incorporated here by reference where applicable).

You may use the App for any lawful purpose, including commercial film, television, and production work.

§ 02Restrictions

You agree that you will not, and will not permit any third party to:

  1. copy, modify, or create derivative works of the App, except as expressly permitted by these terms or by applicable law that cannot be excluded by agreement;
  2. reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the App, except as permitted by applicable law;
  3. rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, or sublicense the App;
  4. remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices on the App;
  5. use the App in a manner that violates any applicable law or the rights of any third party.

§ 03Subscriptions and purchases

The App offers paid features through the following purchase options:

  1. a monthly subscription billed each month;
  2. an annual subscription billed each year; and
  3. a lifetime purchase billed once and granting access for the supported lifetime of the App.

Current prices, any free-trial or introductory offers, and renewal terms are displayed in the App and on the App Store at the time of purchase.

Auto-renewal

Subscription purchases automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current 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 at confirmation of purchase and again at each renewal. You can manage and cancel subscriptions in Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions on your device, or at apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions.

Refunds

All purchases are processed by Apple and are subject to Apple's refund policies. Skopos Studio does not process payments and cannot issue refunds directly. Refund requests can be made through reportaproblem.apple.com.

Free trials

If a free trial is offered, your subscription will convert to a paid subscription at the end of the trial unless you cancel before the trial ends. You can cancel at any time during the trial in iOS Subscription settings, as described above.

§ 04Your content

You retain all rights, title, and interest in and to the photos, videos, scout reports, project files, and any other content you create with the App (“Your Content”). Skopos Studio claims no ownership of Your Content.

Because the App stores Your Content locally on your device and (optionally) in your own iCloud Drive, you are responsible for maintaining backups of anything you cannot afford to lose. We recommend periodic export of scout reports to PDF and verifying that iCloud Drive sync is enabled if you rely on it.

§ 05Acceptable use

You agree to use the App in compliance with all applicable laws, including laws governing photography, video recording, location scouting, trespass, and privacy. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the App — including capturing photos and video, recording GPS coordinates, and entering contact information into scout reports — is lawful in the jurisdiction where you are using it and complies with the rights of any third parties (location owners, persons depicted, contacts, etc.).

§ 06Disclaimers

The App is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including without limitation warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, quiet enjoyment, and non-infringement. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Skopos Studio disclaims all warranties with respect to the App.

Specifically, and without limiting the foregoing, Skopos Studio makes no warranty that:

  1. the App will meet your requirements or be available without interruption;
  2. sun and moon position calculations, depth measurements, weather data, drive times, or other computed values will be accurate to a degree suitable for any particular professional purpose. These values are provided as decision-support tools and should be verified independently for any production decision with material consequences;
  3. field-of-view simulations, sensor crop calculations, or focal-length equivalents will exactly match any specific physical camera or lens.

Weather data is provided by Apple WeatherKit. Map, place-search, and drive-time data are provided by Apple MapKit. The accuracy of these third-party data sources is governed by their providers.

§ 07Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Skopos Studio be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, business opportunity, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the App, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory, even if Skopos Studio has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Skopos Studio's total cumulative liability arising out of or related to these terms or the App will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid Skopos Studio for the App in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD $50.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages; in those jurisdictions, the limitations above apply only to the extent permitted by law.

§ 08Termination

This agreement remains in effect until terminated. You may terminate it at any time by deleting the App from your devices. Skopos Studio may terminate or suspend your license, with or without notice, if you breach these terms. On termination, you must cease all use of the App and delete all copies in your possession. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including §§ 04, 06, 07, 09, and 10 — will survive.

§ 09Apple-specific terms

The following terms apply to your use of the App as obtained through Apple's App Store. They are required by Apple and form part of this agreement.

(a) Acknowledgment

You acknowledge that this agreement is between you and Skopos Studio only, and not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”). Skopos Studio, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content.

(b) Scope of license

The license granted to you in § 01 is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on any Apple-branded product that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms.

(c) Maintenance and support

Skopos Studio is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services for the App. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to provide any maintenance or support services for the App.

(d) Warranty

Skopos Studio is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed in § 06. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the App to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be Skopos Studio's sole responsibility.

(e) Product claims

Skopos Studio, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any User or third-party claims relating to the App or your possession or use of the App, including: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.

(f) Intellectual property

In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, Skopos Studio, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such infringement claim.

(g) Legal compliance

You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

(h) Developer contact

Any questions, complaints, or claims regarding the App should be directed to: hello@skopos.studio.

(i) Third-party terms

You agree to comply with any applicable third-party terms when using the App.

(j) Apple as third-party beneficiary

You acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of this agreement, and that, upon your acceptance of these terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary.

§ 10General

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or related to these terms will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Travis County, Texas, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Nothing in this section limits the rights you have under mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence.

Changes

Skopos Studio may update these terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date and revision number above and, where appropriate, notify you within the App. Continued use of the App after a change indicates acceptance of the revised terms.

Entire agreement

These terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the Apple Media Services Terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and Skopos Studio regarding the App and supersede any prior agreements on the same subject.

Severability

If any provision of these terms is held unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
