Terms of Service
Inkroy — Terms of Service
Effective Date: May 30, 2026 Last Updated: June 8, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Inkroy (the "Service," "Inkroy," "we," "us," or "our"). Inkroy is a mobile application that analyzes short-form video edits ("Edits") using artificial intelligence and returns automated scores and editorial feedback.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding legal agreement between you and the operator of Inkroy. By creating an Inkroy account, signing in, or using any part of the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
The Service is operated through Apple's iOS App Store (and, when launched, the Google Play Store). Your use of the underlying app store is governed by that store's own terms in addition to these Terms.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to create an Inkroy account or use the Service. If you are under 18 (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction), you represent that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed these Terms and consents to your use of the Service on your behalf.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If we learn that we have collected information from a child under 13, we will delete that information. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, contact us at the email in Section 19.
You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under applicable law or have previously been banned from the Service.
3. Your Account
To use the Service, you must sign in using Sign in with Apple or Sign in with Google. You are responsible for:
- Keeping your account credentials secure
- All activity that occurs under your account
- Promptly notifying us of any unauthorized access
We may suspend or terminate your account at any time if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, abused the Service, infringed third-party rights, or pose a risk to other users or to us.
You may delete your account at any time from Settings → Delete account within the app. Deletion is permanent and removes your analyses, credit balance, and subscription history. Some records (e.g., transaction records held by Apple, payment processor logs) may persist with those third parties under their own retention policies.
4. Subscription Plans and Billing
The Service offers the following auto-renewing subscriptions:
| Plan | Price | Billing Period | Monthly Credit Allotment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inkroy Pro | US $9.99 | Monthly | 150 analyses |
| Inkroy Max | US $29.99 | Monthly | 600 analyses |
- Auto-renewal. Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current price unless canceled at least 24 hours before the renewal date.
- Where billed. All subscriptions are billed by Apple through your iTunes account in accordance with Apple's terms. We do not process payments directly.
- Price changes. We may change subscription prices. Any price change will be communicated to existing subscribers and will take effect at the next renewal period; you may cancel before that renewal if you do not accept the new price.
- Credits. Credits are granted at the start of each billing period and do not roll over between periods. Unused credits expire at renewal.
- Tier changes. Upgrading from Pro to Max or downgrading from Max to Pro applies the new tier's credit allotment at the next billing cycle (or, for upgrades, immediately, per Apple's policies). Credits are not pro-rated for unused portions of a prior tier.
Free Trial (if offered)
If a free trial is offered, the trial is for new subscribers only. You will be charged the full subscription price at the end of the trial unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Trial eligibility may be restricted by Apple based on prior subscriptions on your Apple ID.
5. Cancellation, Refunds, and Restoring Purchases
- Cancellation. You can cancel your subscription at any time from your iOS device by visiting Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions on iOS. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you retain access until then.
- Refunds. Subscription refunds are handled exclusively by Apple per Apple's refund policy. We do not issue refunds directly. To request a refund, visit
reportaproblem.apple.com. - Restoring purchases. If you reinstall the app or sign in on a new device, use Restore Purchases on the in-app paywall to recover an active subscription tied to your Apple ID.
- Account deletion does not cancel your subscription. If you delete your Inkroy account while a paid subscription is active, you must cancel the subscription separately through your Apple ID to stop further billing.
6. Acceptable Use
You agree NOT to:
- Upload Edits that contain unlawful, defamatory, harassing, obscene, or hateful content;
- Upload Edits that infringe any third party's intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights;
- Upload Edits depicting minors in sexualized contexts (zero tolerance);
- Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, scrape, or extract source code, models, or trade secrets from the Service;
- Use the Service to train, develop, evaluate, or benchmark any competing AI system, model, or service;
- Use automated means (bots, scripts, scrapers) to access the Service except as expressly permitted;
- Abuse, harass, or threaten our team, other users, or third parties;
- Attempt to bypass rate limits, credit limits, paywalls, or other technical restrictions;
- Resell, redistribute, sublicense, or commercialize the Service or any output without our written consent.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this section, and may report unlawful activity to authorities.
7. Your Content
"User Content" means the Edits and any related materials (videos, audio, captions, metadata) you upload, paste, or otherwise submit to the Service.
- You retain ownership of your User Content. We do not claim ownership of Edits you upload.
- You represent that you have all rights necessary to upload and have your User Content processed by the Service. If your Edit contains third-party copyrighted material, music, footage, or likenesses, you represent that you have the necessary licenses or permissions.
- License to us. You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable license to host, store, transmit, decode, transcode, transcribe, analyze, and otherwise process your User Content solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you — including running it through our AI pipeline, generating scores and feedback, and producing share cards you initiate. This license terminates when we delete the corresponding source material (typically within seconds of extraction completion; see our Privacy Policy).
- No public publication by us. We do not publish, display, or otherwise share your User Content with the public. Your Edits are visible only to you within your account.
8. The Service and Outputs
- Analyses, scores, and feedback ("Outputs") generated by the Service are produced by automated systems including third-party AI models.
- You may use Outputs that pertain to your own Edits for any lawful personal or commercial purpose, including sharing the share-card image we generate.
- You may not represent Outputs as professional editorial advice, professional video analysis, or any guarantee of platform performance.
- We grant you no rights to our software, models, prompts, rubric weights, or backend systems. All such rights are reserved.
9. AI-Generated Outputs — Important Disclaimer
Scores, insights, technique tags, story-beat analyses, and any other Outputs are generated by artificial intelligence and are provided "AS-IS" for informational and entertainment purposes only.
- Outputs are not professional advice, expert editorial assessment, or a guarantee of any kind.
- Outputs do not predict or guarantee how an Edit will perform on TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, or any other platform.
- AI systems can be inaccurate, biased, or misleading. We make no representation that any Output is accurate, complete, or current.
- You should use independent judgment when relying on Outputs for any creative, commercial, or platform-strategy decision.
- We are not liable for any losses, missed opportunities, or other damages arising from your reliance on Outputs.
10. Intellectual Property
The Service, including its source code, design, user interface, brand assets, names, logos, AI prompts, rubric models, and accompanying documentation, is owned by us and protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, patent, and trade-secret laws. Except for the limited license to use the Service granted to you, no rights are transferred or licensed to you under these Terms.
"Inkroy" and our logos are our trademarks. You may not use them without our prior written permission.
11. Copyright Infringement (DMCA)
If you believe content available through the Service infringes your copyright, you may submit a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") to:

12. Third-Party Services and Subprocessors
The Service uses third-party providers to operate. By using the Service, you acknowledge that your User Content and account data may be processed by these providers under their own terms and privacy policies. See our Privacy Policy for the full list and roles.
We are not responsible for the practices, content, or availability of third-party services. If a third-party provider becomes unavailable or modifies its terms, the Service may be affected.
13. Service Availability and Changes
- We provide the Service on a commercially reasonable best-effort basis. We do not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted, error-free, or secure operation.
- We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature of the Service at any time, with or without notice.
- We may impose usage limits (credit caps, rate limits, file-size limits, duration limits) and adjust them at any time.
- Scheduled maintenance, AI provider outages, and other operational events may affect Service availability.
14. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE AND ALL OUTPUTS ARE PROVIDED "AS-IS" AND "AS-AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT:
- The Service will meet your specific requirements;
- Outputs will be accurate, complete, current, or useful;
- The Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free;
- Defects will be corrected;

Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of certain warranties. To the extent such exclusions are not permitted, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
15. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:
- IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE.
- OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (a) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (b) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100).
- THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS APPLY EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, the foregoing limitations apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.
16. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Inkroy and its operators, contractors, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any rights of another party.
17. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
Informal resolution first. Before filing any claim, you agree to attempt to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at legal@inkroy.com and providing a written description of your claim. We will attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith within thirty (30) days.
Binding arbitration. If informal resolution fails, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved through binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in English in San Francisco County, California (or remotely if the AAA permits). The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding.
Class-action waiver. YOU AND WE EACH AGREE THAT DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims or preside over any class or representative proceeding.
Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court for disputes within that court's jurisdiction. Either party may also seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights.
30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to legal@inkroy.com within thirty (30) days after first accepting these Terms. Opting out does not affect any other provision.
18. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the Service or by email (where available) at least seven (7) days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service and may cancel your subscription.

20. Miscellaneous
- Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
- Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force.
- No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
- Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or by operation of law.
- Apple-specific terms. You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and us, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the Service. In the event of any failure of the Service to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the Service. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
