Terms of Use

By accessing or using FinePrint Shield (the "App"), including the Android application and the Web App at fineprintshield.com, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

FinePrint Shield is provided for personal and professional document management, scanning, editing, signing, and AI-assisted contract review. You agree to use the App in compliance with all applicable laws and not to misuse the service.

Some features may be used without an account. Creating an account (for example, to use the Web App or manage a subscription) requires accurate information and keeping your credentials secure. You are responsible for activity that occurs under your account.

You retain all rights to the documents, images, PDFs, and other content you import, scan, upload, or create in the App ("Your Content"). We do not claim ownership over Your Content.

You are solely responsible for Your Content, including ensuring that you have the legal right to upload, process, share, and store it, and that doing so does not violate the rights of any third party or applicable law. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to process Your Content only as necessary to provide the features you use (for example, running AI Deep Analysis, performing OCR, generating a Secure Share link, or syncing entitlements).

Certain features are available only with a Premium subscription. Premium subscriptions for the Android app are sold and billed exclusively through Google Play, and are subject to the Google Play Terms of Service and Google Payments terms in addition to these Terms. Prices, billing cycles, applicable taxes, and renewal terms are disclosed at the point of purchase.

Subscriptions renew automatically at the then-current price until cancelled. You can cancel or manage a subscription at any time in your Google Play account. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you retain Premium access until that period ends. Refunds are handled according to Google Play policies. We do not process subscription payments directly and cannot issue refunds on Google's behalf.

We use RevenueCat as a subscription management provider to validate purchases and track entitlement status across devices.

Premium features on the Web App are unlocked using a Link Code generated in the Android app. Free features on the Web App do not require a subscription. New users must subscribe to Premium through Google Play on Android before activating Premium on the Web App.

You are responsible for keeping your Link Code confidential. You may rotate or revoke a Link Code from within the Android app. We may invalidate a Link Code if we reasonably suspect misuse, sharing beyond permitted personal use, or a violation of these Terms.

AI Deep Analysis, the AI document assistant, and any AI-generated summaries, highlights, or recommendations are provided for informational purposes only. They are generated automatically and may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies, and they may not reflect the most current legal standards in your jurisdiction.

AI-generated output does not constitute legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship. FinePrint Shield is not a law firm and is not a substitute for professional legal counsel. Before signing, relying on, or taking action based on any document, you should consult a qualified attorney licensed in your jurisdiction.

OCR (optical character recognition) is used to extract text from scanned pages, photos, and image-based PDFs. Recognition accuracy depends on image quality, language, and content, and results may contain errors. You are responsible for reviewing OCR output before relying on it.

Secure Share lets you generate a link to share a document or analysis. You are responsible for the content you share and for whom you share it with. Do not use Secure Share to distribute content you are not authorized to share, or content that violates applicable law or the rights of any third party.

Secure Share data is automatically deleted approximately 24 hours after link creation. You may also revoke a link at any time from within the App. We may remove a Secure Share link that we reasonably believe violates these Terms.

You agree not to:

• Use the App for any unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful purpose;
• Upload, process, or share content that infringes intellectual property, privacy, or other rights, or that is defamatory, harassing, or illegal;
• Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, tamper with, or bypass any security, authentication, licensing, or entitlement mechanism (including PIN, biometric locks, Link Codes, and subscription validation);
• Circumvent Google Play billing, use unauthorized methods to obtain Premium, or share Premium access beyond permitted personal use;
• Use automated systems to abuse the service, exceed reasonable usage, or interfere with other users;
• Use the App or any AI feature to generate content that is unlawful, harmful, or intended to deceive.

The App, including its software, design, branding, text, graphics, and other materials (excluding Your Content), is owned by Merdorian and its licensors and is protected by intellectual property and other laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for its intended purpose in accordance with these Terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

"FinePrint Shield," the shield logo, and related marks are trademarks of Merdorian. You may not use them without our prior written permission.

The App relies on third-party services, including Google Play (billing and distribution), RevenueCat (subscription management), and AI processing providers. Your use of those services is subject to their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the availability, content, or practices of third-party services.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features of the App at any time, with or without notice. We may also update, add, or remove features included in Premium. We will not make changes that materially reduce a paid feature during a billing period you have already been charged for without offering a reasonable remedy where required by law.

You may stop using the App at any time and cancel your subscription through Google Play. We may suspend or terminate your access to the App or to Premium features if you violate these Terms, misuse the service, or if required by law. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law) will survive.

The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. We do not warrant that AI analysis, OCR results, or any other output will be accurate, complete, or suitable for any particular purpose. AI analysis does not constitute legal advice.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Merdorian and its officers, employees, and service providers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of the App, AI-generated output, OCR results, Secure Share, subscription management, or these Terms, whether based on contract, tort, statute, or any other legal theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the App or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid to us for the App in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD $50.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Merdorian and its affiliates from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of Your Content, your use of the App, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Merdorian operates, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable consumer rights you may have under the mandatory laws of your country of residence.

We may update these Terms periodically. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, provide additional notice in the App. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
