Terms of Use
Last updated: May 12, 2026
Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the ScrapBoard mobile application for iOS and the related website (together, the “Service”). By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service and delete the App from your device.
Description of the Service
ScrapBoard is an iOS app that lets you create and customize digital boards with notes, photos, text, countdowns, calendars, dates, stickers, emojis, and similar elements, and—where supported by iOS—to display board content on your home screen through widgets that may update according to system scheduling and constraints.
Private boards: By default, boards are intended to be handled primarily on your device and, where you enable it, in conjunction with Apple’s platforms and your Apple account.
Optional sharing/collaboration: If you choose to enable board sharing, portions of your board (including items and linked media) may be synchronized and hosted using Google Firebase / Google Cloud infrastructure configured by us so that invited collaborators can access that board. That is not the same as Apple iCloud and does not replace your own backup strategy.
The Service is not a general-purpose enterprise cloud storage product or guaranteed archive. It is a consumer productivity and creativity tool only—not professional advice, not a guaranteed real-time system, and not a substitute for dedicated calendars, reminders, enterprise planning tools, or backup strategies you may need for critical or regulated data.
Eligibility
You must be at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction, or have the consent of a parent or legal guardian, to use the Service. You represent and warrant that you are legally permitted to use the Service under the laws of your jurisdiction. If you do not meet these requirements, you must not use the Service.
License to Use the Service
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, ScrapBoard grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on iOS device(s) that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use, and solely as permitted by these Terms and Apple’s App Store terms. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you.
Privacy
Your use of the Service is also governed by the ScrapBoard Privacy Policy, which explains local handling, optional Firebase-hosted collaboration, analytics, crash reporting, and related processing. By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read the Privacy Policy and agree to its terms. The Privacy Policy applies to the App and the website and is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
Board Sharing and Collaboration
a. Sharing is optional. When you enable collaboration for a board, you instruct us to host and process that board’s collaboration copy using Firebase/Google Cloud services as described in the Privacy Policy.
b. You are solely responsible for invitations, invite codes (where used), and whom you allow to join a shared board. Anyone who joins may be able to view, copy, or retain board content outside our systems.
c. We do not guarantee that collaborators will lose access immediately in every scenario, that revoke/disable flows will meet a particular timeline, or that others will delete copies they already obtained.
d. Disputes between you and another user (for example, misuse of an invite or unwanted resharing) are primarily between you and that user. Nothing in these Terms obligates us to mediate personal disputes, though we may take action if we believe it necessary for safety, abuse prevention, or legal compliance.
Your Content and Your Responsibility
a. You may add notes, images, and other materials to your boards. You remain fully responsible for that content, for complying with applicable laws, and for respecting the rights of others (including intellectual property and privacy).
b. You are responsible for what you choose to display on your device, including on widgets visible on your lock screen or home screen, and for any disclosure you cause (for example, handing your device to others, screen sharing, casting, or screenshots).
c. You agree that you will not use the Service to store, manage, or display content that you are not legally allowed to possess, that infringes the rights of others, or that violates the laws of your jurisdiction.
d. You understand that deletion or modification of content is initiated by you and may be permanent or subject to Apple’s sync, backup, and recovery behavior. We are not responsible for recovering deleted content.
You retain ownership of content you create or import, subject to third-party rights in materials you do not own. To operate the Service, you grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, process, cache, host, transmit, and display your content only to the extent technically necessary to provide the Service—including rendering boards and widgets on your device, integrating with Apple frameworks where applicable, and (when you enable collaboration) syncing and hosting that content for collaborators using Firebase/Google Cloud infrastructure as described in the Privacy Policy. We do not claim ownership of your content.
Data, Storage, and Backups
a. Without collaboration enabled, your boards and related content are primarily stored and processed in an environment controlled by your device and, depending on your settings, Apple services (such as local storage and iCloud).
b. With collaboration enabled for a board, a collaboration copy of that board’s synced content (including linked media as implemented) may be stored on Firebase/Google Cloud infrastructure under our configuration until you disable sharing or delete applicable cloud data as described in the Privacy Policy.
c. Because your content may remain on your device and sync through Apple’s ecosystem—and because collaborators may retain copies—your device security, passcode, Face ID/Touch ID, iCloud settings, photo and file access, sharing settings, backups, and invitation choices are your responsibility.
d. If you lose your device, if your device is stolen, if your device is jailbroken, if your backups or accounts are compromised, or if a collaborator mishandles shared content, we are not responsible for any resulting data loss or exposure except as required by applicable law.
e. You acknowledge that no mobile app, operating system, cloud provider, or network is 100% secure and you agree not to hold us responsible for security issues arising from your device, Apple’s services, your iCloud, Firebase/Google, your network, collaborators, or other third parties except as required by applicable law.
Third-Party Services and SDKs
a. The Service may use Google Firebase and related Google Cloud products, including without limitation: Firebase Authentication; Cloud Functions; Firestore or related databases; Cloud Storage or comparable object storage accessed via controlled URLs; Firebase Cloud Messaging for remote notifications where applicable; Google Analytics for Firebase for usage analytics; and Firebase Crashlytics (or similar) for crash reporting.
b. Google and other providers are independent third parties. We do not control their systems, policies, infrastructure, or security. By using the Service, you acknowledge that technical and collaboration-related data may be processed by Google and others as described in the Privacy Policy.
c. We are not liable for acts or omissions of Google, Apple, Firebase, your mobile carrier, or any other platform provider except as required by applicable law.
Prohibited Uses
You agree not to use the Service for any unlawful, harmful, or fraudulent purpose; attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Service except where applicable law expressly permits; bypass or disable any security or technical features; use the Service in a way that infringes the privacy or rights of others; misuse invites or collaboration features to harass, stalk, or obtain unauthorized access to others’ boards; use the Service to process or distribute illegal content; interfere with or disrupt the operation of the Service; or use automated means to access the Service in a manner that imposes an unreasonable load on our infrastructure.
No High-Stakes or Professional Reliance
The Service is a consumer app only. It is not designed or intended for regulated industries, legal compliance, medical decisions, safety-critical scheduling, or any use where inaccurate dates, missed reminders, or widget refresh delays could cause injury, loss, or legal harm. Countdowns, calendars, and displayed dates are provided for convenience and may be affected by time zones, device settings, and iOS behavior. You must not rely on the Service where accuracy is legally or professionally required.
Board, Widget, and Display Limitations
a. Layout, fonts, colors, and element positioning may render differently in the App, in previews, and on widgets depending on device, iOS version, accessibility settings, and screen size.
b. We do not guarantee that widgets will update on any particular schedule, match the in-app board at all times, or remain visible or supported across all future iOS releases.
c. You agree that you remain responsible for verifying important information shown on your boards or widgets (for example, deadlines or events) through independent means when it matters.
Security and “Your Data” Clarification
We aim to design the Service so that private boards are handled primarily on your device and through Apple’s systems. If you enable collaboration, synced portions of a board are additionally handled through Firebase/Google Cloud under our configuration. However:
- we cannot guarantee absolute security;
- we cannot control Apple’s systems, your iCloud backups, your Wi‑Fi network, or your device configuration;
- we cannot control third-party analytics or crash-reporting providers beyond our configuration choices; and
- we cannot be responsible for exposure caused by your own actions or by third parties.
By using the Service, you accept these technical realities.
Disclaimer of Warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. Without limiting the foregoing, we specifically disclaim any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade.
We do not warrant that:
- the Service will meet your requirements;
- the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free;
- defects will be corrected;
- widgets will refresh as you expect or display identically to the in-app board; or
- the Service will prevent all accidental disclosure of your content on your device.
You use the Service at your own risk.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
a. In no event will ScrapBoard, its developer, affiliates, or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to damages for loss of profits, goodwill, data, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your access to or use of, or your inability to access or use, the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
b. We are not responsible for any data loss, data leakage, unauthorized access, device compromise, backup compromise, or disclosure of your content that occurs on your device, through your cloud backup, through your own sharing, or through third-party services.
c. We are not responsible for any failure of Apple, Google/Firebase, your mobile carrier, or any other third party.
d. If, despite these Terms, we are found to be liable to you in any way, our total liability to you for any and all claims will not exceed the amount you paid (if any) for the Service during the twelve (12) months prior to the event giving rise to the claim, or ten (10) Canadian dollars (CAD $10), whichever is greater.
Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you; our intent is to limit our liability to the fullest extent allowed by law. Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ScrapBoard and its developer from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, arising out of or in any way connected with:
- your access to or use of the Service;
- your violation of these Terms;
- your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property or privacy right;
- your misuse of the Service (such as using it with content you are not allowed to possess or display); or
- your collaboration or sharing activity (such as content you share with collaborators or disputes arising from invitations).
This obligation will survive your use of the Service.
Intellectual Property
The Service, including its design, text, graphics, logos, icons, and underlying software (excluding your content), is owned by or licensed to us and is protected by intellectual property laws. You do not acquire any ownership rights by using the Service. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Service unless we give you written permission.
Apple App Store Terms
You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support with respect to the Service. To the extent permitted by law, Apple has no warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Service. You agree to comply with all applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the Service (including Apple’s App Store terms). Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms solely as they relate to your license of the App from Apple, and Apple may enforce those provisions.
Changes to the Service
We may add, modify, or remove features of the Service at any time, including to comply with App Store requirements, security requirements, or platform changes. We are not obligated to maintain or support any particular feature or to continue offering the Service.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the Service after the updated Terms are posted means you accept the changes. We may provide additional notice where required by law. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service and delete the App.
Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or if we discontinue the Service. Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease. Because the Service runs on your device, you should delete the App if you no longer wish to be bound by these Terms.
Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles. You agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Ontario, Canada, for the resolution of any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service, subject to any non-waivable rights you may have under consumer protection laws in your place of residence.
No Waiver
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements or understandings.
