EtchImage — Terms of Service
Last updated: 2026-06-28
1. Acceptance
By downloading or using EtchImage you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use
the app.
2. License
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use
EtchImage on devices you own or control, subject to these Terms and the app store's terms.
3. Subscriptions & billing
EtchImage offers auto-renewing subscriptions (e.g., Pro, Verified, Team). Payment is
charged to your Apple or Google account at confirmation. Subscriptions auto-renew
unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel in your
device's account settings. Refunds are handled by Apple/Google per their policies. Prices
may change with notice.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use EtchImage to record anyone without the consent required by your jurisdiction
(many places require all-party consent for audio/video);
- capture in places or ways that are illegal (e.g., unlawful surveillance, trespass);
- attempt to forge, spoof, or falsify captures, location, or Verified Capture records;
- reverse-engineer, resell, or abuse the service or its infrastructure.
You are solely responsible for how and where you capture, and for complying with all laws.
5. ⚠️ Proof & verification disclaimer (important)
EtchImage's stamps and Verified Capture make a file tamper-evident — they help
show a photo or video has not been altered since capture and that its time was not set by
a device clock. They are NOT:
- a legal guarantee, certification, or notarization;
- a warranty that a capture is admissible as evidence in any proceeding;
- proof of what a photo depicts (e.g., a photo of a screen is still a real capture).
Location and time accuracy depend on your device, signal, and operating system and may be
imperfect. **Do not rely on EtchImage as sole proof for legal, insurance, safety, or
financial decisions.** You use verification features at your own risk.
6. Intellectual property
You own the photos and videos you capture. We own EtchImage, its software, brand, and the
verification service. The "EtchImage" name and logo are our marks.
7. Disclaimers & limitation of liability
EtchImage is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind to the fullest extent
permitted by law. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any
claim relating to the app is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the prior
12 months or USD $50. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
8. Termination
You may stop using EtchImage anytime. We may suspend or terminate access for violations of
these Terms.
9. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, USA, without regard to
conflict-of-laws rules. [Confirm venue with counsel.]
10. Changes
We may update these Terms; continued use after changes means you accept them.
