Terms of Service

1. Agreement to terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Studio GR, a California corporation ("Studio GR," "we," "us," or "our"), and govern your use of the Sign w Selfie mobile application (the "App"), software development kit (the "SDK"), the website at signwselfie.com and its verification tools (the "Site"), and related services (together, the "Services"). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Services. If you are between 13 and 18, you may use the Services only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms. By using the Services, you represent that you meet these requirements and have the authority to enter into these Terms.

3. The Services

Sign w Selfie lets you capture a moment using dual-camera capture and a signature, generates a cryptographic fingerprint of that capture, and records that fingerprint on a public blockchain to support later verification. The SDK lets developers integrate this capture-and-verification flow into their own applications. The Site provides marketing information and a public tool to check whether an image matches an existing record.

4. Accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account. Provide accurate information, keep it current, and notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

5. Purchases, billing, and subscriptions

• App purchases. The App is sold through the Apple App Store and governed by Apple's terms and payment policies.
• SDK subscriptions. SDK plans are billed through our payment processor, Stripe. Paid plans renew automatically for the applicable period until cancelled. You authorize recurring charges until you cancel.
• Taxes and price changes. Prices exclude applicable taxes, which you are responsible for. We may change pricing prospectively; changes apply to the next billing cycle.

6. No refunds

Except where required by applicable law, all fees are non-refundable and there are no refunds or credits for partial periods, unused services, or downgrades. App Store purchases are subject to Apple's refund policies.

7. Your content and license

You retain ownership of the photos, signatures, and other content you create through the Services ("Your Content"). You grant Studio GR a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, process, reproduce, fingerprint, and display Your Content solely as needed to operate and provide the Services (including generating proof records and supporting verification).

You are responsible for what you capture. You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights and, where required, the consent of any individuals appearing in a capture, and that Your Content does not violate any law or third-party right.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Services to capture anyone unlawfully or without a legally required consent, or for stalking, harassment, or unlawful surveillance.
• Capture or record in places or ways that violate privacy, recording, or wiretapping laws.
• Upload unlawful, infringing, fraudulent, or harmful content.
• Attempt to falsify, spoof, tamper with, or circumvent the capture, signing, or verification process.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code, except where such restriction is prohibited by law.
• Interfere with, overload, or disrupt the Services or attempt to gain unauthorized access.

9. Blockchain acknowledgment

You understand and agree that the Services write an irreversible fingerprint of a capture to a public blockchain, that such on-chain records are permanent, public, and immutable, and that neither you nor Studio GR can edit, delete, or reverse them. Blockchain networks are decentralized and outside our control; we are not responsible for their operation, availability, forks, or any network fees.

10. Verification disclaimer

The Services provide a technical record and verification signal designed to make tampering harder and to indicate whether a submitted image matches a stored record. Marketing phrases such as "unstoppable," "immutable," or "undeniable" describe the design intent, not a legal guarantee.

Studio GR does not guarantee that any record proves the truth of any underlying fact, event, identity, or claim, that a record is admissible in any legal or official proceeding, or that verification results are error-free. The Services are not legal, forensic, identity-verification, or investigative advice, and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for any decision. Verification results are provided "as is."

11. Intellectual property

The Services, including software, design, text, graphics, logos, and the "Sign w Selfie" name and marks, are owned by Studio GR or its licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the Services for their intended purpose, subject to these Terms. If you give us feedback, you grant us a perpetual, royalty-free license to use it without obligation to you.

12. Third-party services

The Services rely on third parties such as Apple, Stripe, and the Solana network. Your use of those services is governed by their terms, and we are not responsible for third-party products, services, or content.

13. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

14. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, STUDIO GR AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Studio GR from any claims, liabilities, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your content, your use of the Services, or your violation of these Terms or any law or third-party right.

16. Termination

You may stop using the Services at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms or to protect the Services. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

17. Dispute resolution; arbitration; class-action waiver

Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights.

Except for claims that may be brought in small-claims court, you and Studio GR agree to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services through binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its applicable rules, rather than in court. The arbitration will be conducted in or near Santa Barbara County, California, or by remote means where available.

Class-action waiver. You and Studio GR agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, or representative proceeding.

30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing hello@signwselfie.com with your name and a statement that you opt out. Opting out does not affect the other provisions of these Terms.

18. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Subject to Section 17, the state and federal courts located in Santa Barbara County, California have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute not subject to arbitration.

19. Apple App Store terms

If you obtain the App through the Apple App Store, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and Studio GR only, not Apple; that Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App; and that Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. Your use of the App must comply with the Apple App Store Terms of Service.

20. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Effective" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

21. Miscellaneous

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Studio GR regarding the Services. If any provision is found 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. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
