Pinito terms of use
Last updated [EFFECTIVE DATE]
These terms are the agreement between you and [CONTROLLER NAME], [CONTROLLER ADDRESS], [TRADE REGISTER NUMBER, IF ANY], the maker of Pinito. They cover the Pinito app for iPad and the family account behind it. Please read them before you set up Pinito. Our privacy policy at pinito.app/privacy explains what we do with your family's data.
Apple's license comes first
You get Pinito from Apple's App Store, so Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies to it. You can read it at https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/. These terms add to Apple's. Where the two differ on something Apple's agreement covers, Apple's agreement wins.
A few things Apple asks us to make clear:
- This agreement is between you and us, not Apple. We, not Apple, are responsible for Pinito and its content.
- Apple has no duty to maintain or support Pinito. Support questions come to us.
- If Pinito fails to work as promised, you can tell Apple, and Apple may refund the price you paid. Apart from that, Apple gives no warranty for Pinito.
- Apple isn't responsible for claims about Pinito, including product liability claims, claims that it breaks a law, consumer protection claims, or claims that it infringes someone's rights. We handle those.
- Apple and its subsidiaries may enforce these terms against you.
- When you use Pinito, you follow the terms of any other service it relies on, such as your internet provider's.
- You confirm you are not in a country under a US embargo and not on a US list of prohibited or restricted parties.
Who may use Pinito
Pinito is for families with children from 3 to 12. A parent or legal guardian, aged 18 or over, sets it up, holds the family account and agrees to these terms. Children use Pinito under that adult's care. They never sign in and never agree to anything themselves.
You are responsible for how Pinito is used on your iPads. Keep your email account and the iPad's passcode to yourself. Anyone who can read your email can sign in to your family account, and anyone who knows the passcode can open the parents' area.
Your license to use Pinito
We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use Pinito on Apple devices you own or control, as Apple's Usage Rules allow, for your family's own use. Pinito itself, its design, its drawings, sounds and voices, and its name stay ours or our licensors'.
The pictures
Your child's coloring is your child's. We claim no ownership of the coloring your child adds to a page.
The pages are drawn by AI. Pinito sends your child's idea to an AI service, which draws the page. In many countries a page drawn by AI may not be protected by copyright at all. As far as we hold any rights in a page made for your family, you may color it, print it, keep it and give it to family and friends, for personal, non-commercial use.
Characters and brands belong to their owners. If your child names a character or a brand, Pinito tries to draw it. Those characters and brands are owned by others. Keep such pages for private use at home. Don't sell them or publish them.
Pages aren't unique. Another family with a similar idea may get a similar page.
What you let us do. You let us store, copy, process and show your children's ideas, pictures and coloring, and send them to the services that help us run Pinito, only to provide Pinito to your family. This ends when you delete them, as the privacy policy describes.
Content checks and your part
Pinito rewrites every idea to fit the child's age and checks every finished page before the child sees it. You can make pictures gentler for any child. These checks are good, but no check is perfect, and an AI can still draw something that doesn't feel right for your child. Stay nearby, especially with young children. If a page seems wrong, write to us at [SUPPORT EMAIL]. Reports help us improve the checks.
Acceptable use
Please don't:
- try to make Pinito draw sexual, violent, hateful or otherwise harmful pictures, or try to get around its checks, its limits or the parents' area
- put other people's private details into ideas
- use Pinito or its pages for any commercial purpose
- copy, sell or rent out Pinito, or reverse engineer it, except where the law allows this
- use bots or scripts with our servers, overload them, or try to reach another family's data
If an account breaks these rules, we may pause or close it. Where we can, we tell you first and give you a chance to fix it.
The subscription
New pictures, changes to pictures and idea suggestions need a subscription. Coloring the pictures you already have doesn't. The subscription covers your whole family account. The weekly allowance you set for each child still applies.
- Plans. There are two plans, monthly and annual. The App Store shows the price in your currency before you subscribe. Prices may differ by country.
- Trial. A new subscriber gets a trial, one week long at the time of writing. The App Store shows the current offer before you confirm. When the trial ends, the subscription starts and Apple charges you, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. If you buy a different subscription during the trial, the rest of the trial ends.
- Payment. Apple charges your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase.
- Renewal. The subscription renews by itself for the same length and price, unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Apple charges the renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends.
- Managing and cancelling. Open the iPad's Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, then Pinito. You can change plans or cancel there at any time. If you cancel, the subscription keeps working until the end of the period you paid for.
- Price changes. If the price changes, Apple tells you before it applies and, where the rules require, asks you to agree.
- Family Sharing. Both plans can be shared with your Apple family group through Family Sharing.
- Refunds. Apple handles payments, so ask Apple for a refund at https://reportaproblem.apple.com. Apple's terms apply, including any right your country gives you to withdraw from a purchase.
Deleting the family account or the app doesn't cancel the subscription. Cancel it in Settings as described above.
Availability and changes
Making and changing pictures needs an internet connection. Coloring works without one. We work to keep Pinito running, but we can't promise it will always be available or work without errors. We may pause it for maintenance or repairs.
We may change Pinito, add features or remove them. If we ever stop Pinito, we will tell you at least [NOTICE PERIOD] ahead, so you have time to save your children's pictures to Photos.
We may update these terms. If a change matters to you, we email the address of your family account before it applies. If you don't agree, you can stop using Pinito, cancel the subscription and delete the family account.
Ending the agreement
You can stop at any time. Cancel the subscription in the iPad's Settings and delete the family account in the parents' area. We may end this agreement if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, as described under "Acceptable use".
Liability
Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law doesn't allow us to limit. That includes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, for intent or gross negligence, and your rights as a consumer under the law of the country where you live.
Apart from that, we are not liable for losses we couldn't reasonably foresee, and our total liability to you is limited to [LIABILITY CAP, FOR EXAMPLE THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM].
Governing law
These terms are governed by [GOVERNING LAW AND COURTS]. If you live in the EU, you also keep the protection of the mandatory consumer law of your own country, and you may bring a claim in the courts where you live.
