Effective date: July 14, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and ScrollPoetry, an independent one-person studio based in the United States ("ScrollPoetry," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your use of the ScrollPoetry mobile application and related services (together, the "App").
By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated here by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
If you have any questions about these Terms, email us at hello@scrollpoetry.com.
You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the App only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian, and only a parent or guardian may make a purchase or enter into a subscription. By using the App, you represent that you meet these requirements and that the information you provide is accurate.
You can use the core App without an account. If you create one, you are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at hello@scrollpoetry.com if you suspect unauthorized use. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms (see Section 12).
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial use, in accordance with the Usage Rules in Apple's App Store Terms of Service and the Apple Licensed Application End User License Agreement (see Section 13).
You may not: copy, modify, or create derivative works of the App; reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble it except to the extent permitted by law; rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, or sublicense the App; remove any proprietary notices; or use the App in any unlawful manner or for any purpose not permitted by these Terms.
The App offers an optional premium subscription, ScrollPoetry Plus, which unlocks additional features (such as premium narration voices, additional themes and fonts, unlimited poem analysis, and recitation and practice modes). Free features remain available without a subscription.
ScrollPoetry Plus is sold as an auto-renewing subscription (for example, monthly or annual). Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
Your subscription automatically renews for the same period unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period, at the price for your selected plan.
If a free trial is offered and you don't cancel before it ends, your subscription will begin and the plan price will be charged. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
You can manage or cancel your subscription, and turn off auto-renewal, in your device's Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions at any time. Cancelling stops the next renewal; it does not retroactively refund the current period.
Purchases are processed by Apple, and refunds are handled under Apple's policies. We generally cannot issue refunds directly; please contact Apple Support for billing and refund requests.
We may change subscription prices. If a change affects your existing subscription, we will give notice as required, and where required, your consent or the chance to cancel before the new price applies.
You can restore an active subscription on a new device or after reinstalling using the Restore Purchases option in the App's Settings.
Poems. The poems in the App are public-domain works. We don't claim ownership of those texts.
The App. Everything else — the App's software, design, branding, name, logo, original copy, recommendation logic, narration audio we generate, and other materials — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms don't grant you any rights to our trademarks or branding.
The App may let you create content such as reviews, ratings, notes, highlights, collections, and profile information ("Your Content"). You retain ownership of Your Content. By making any content public (for example, a public review), you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, display, and distribute that content within the App for the purpose of operating and providing the service. You can make content private or delete it as described in the App and our Privacy Policy.
You agree not to post content or use the App to: violate any law or third-party right; post material that is unlawful, harassing, hateful, defamatory, obscene, or infringing; impersonate others; upload malware or attempt to disrupt or gain unauthorized access to the App or its systems; or scrape, harvest, or misuse data. We may remove content or restrict accounts that violate these Terms, but we are not obligated to monitor content.
The App relies on third-party services — including Apple (distribution and payments), Supabase (backend and authentication), RevenueCat (subscription management), and ElevenLabs (premium narration). Your use of those services may also be subject to their terms. We are not responsible for third-party services or for links to third-party websites.
THE APP IS 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, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THESE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE APP. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $20. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THESE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless ScrollPoetry from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the App, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
You may stop using the App at any time and delete your account by emailing hello@scrollpoetry.com. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms or to protect the App and its users. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 6, 9, 10, 11, and 14) will survive.
These Terms are between you and us, not with Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. You acknowledge that:
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where your local consumer-protection laws require otherwise. You agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Orange County, California for any dispute not subject to arbitration or small-claims court, to the extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms limits any mandatory consumer rights you have in your country of residence.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Effective date" above and, where appropriate, notify you in the App or by email. Your continued use of the App after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
