The deal, in plain language.

Who we are

QuipShot is operated by OTHEXCORP, a Florida corporation (“OTHEXCORP,” “QuipShot,” “we,” “us,” “our”). These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and OTHEXCORP. They cover three things: the website at quipshot.com, your QuipShot account, and the QuipShot desktop application(the “App”). Together with our Privacy Policy and any order-specific terms shown at checkout, they are the entire agreement between us about QuipShot.

Accepting these terms

By creating a QuipShot account, by downloading or installing the App, or by paying for a subscription, you confirm you’ve read these Terms and agree to be bound by them. At account creation we ask you to tick a box confirming this; that tick is the moment the contract forms. Continuing to use the website without an account binds you only to the parts of these Terms that apply to general visitors (acceptable use, intellectual property, disclaimers).

If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organisation, and “you” in this document means that organisation.

If you don’t agree to these Terms, don’t create an account, don’t install the App, and don’t pay for a subscription.

Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years oldto create a QuipShot account or pay for a subscription. If your country sets a higher age of digital consent or contractual capacity, that higher age applies to you. You also confirm that you have the legal capacity to enter a binding contract in your country, that you’re not barred from receiving our services under applicable export-control or sanctions laws, and that you’ll use QuipShot only in ways permitted by the laws that apply to you.

Using the App requires signing in with a QuipShot account and an active subscription. Captures and edits are processed locally on your device, and the App transmits no screenshot content — its only network activity is account sign-in, licence verification, and software updates. Because an account is required to use the App, the age requirement above applies to all use of QuipShot.

Your account

Creating it

You agree to:

• give us accurate and current information (a real email address you control, and accurate billing details);
• maintain one account per person — if more people need access, get them their own subscriptions;
• not register for an account by automated means or under false pretences.

Keeping it secure

Keep your password and any session tokens confidential. Don’t share them with anyone else. Tell us promptly at [email protected]if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission. You’re responsible for everything that happens under your account. We’ll never ask you for your password. We may suspend an account that shows signs of credential-stuffing, automated abuse, or shared use across more people than your subscription allows.

What you’re paying for

The Service is two related things, and the distinction matters:

• The website and account dashboard. A hosted service operated by us. You sign in, see your billing status, manage devices linked to your subscription, and start or cancel your plan. Uptime is our responsibility on a commercially-reasonable-efforts basis (no SLA — see §Service availability).
• The QuipShot desktop application. A native Windows program you download and run on your own computer. The App is delivered as a binary. We don’t host your screenshots, your edits, or your settings — they live on your machine. The App talks to our servers only to (i) sign you in, (ii) check for and download signed updates, and (iii) when you ask it to, deactivate a device.

Subscription & billing

Price & billing

QuipShot is sold as a single recurring subscription at $20/month, inclusive of every feature and every update for as long as the subscription is active. By subscribing you authorise us, through our payment processor Stripe, to charge your chosen payment method the first month’s fee at sign-up and the same fee automatically at the start of each renewal period until you cancel.

Taxes. Prices shown at checkout are exclusive of taxes unless we say otherwise. Where required to collect VAT, GST, QST, or sales tax (for example for customers in the EU, the UK, Australia, certain Canadian provinces, or US states where we have a tax obligation), Stripe Tax calculates and adds it at checkout, and we remit it to the relevant authority.

Payment method. Card data is sent directly from your browser to Stripe; we never see or store full card numbers. By giving Stripe your payment method, you also agree to Stripe’s terms as the payment processor.

Failed payments.If a renewal payment fails, Stripe retries it on a schedule and we’ll email you. If payment isn’t received within 14 daysof the renewal date, your subscription will lapse — your account moves to an inactive state, your linked devices are unbound, and the App stops unlocking subscription features until you re-subscribe.

Renewals & cancellation

You can cancel at any time from your account dashboard, which opens the Stripe-hosted Customer Portal. Cancellation:

• stops the next renewal charge;
• keeps your access live through the end of the period you’ve already paid for;
• at the end of that period, moves your account to inactive — your linked devices are unbound, the App will prompt you to re-subscribe to continue using subscription features, and your stored settings and existing screenshots on your own disk remain untouched (we don’t have them).

You can re-subscribe at any time and re-link up to three devices again, subject to the device-deactivation rules in §Devices & deactivation. We keep your account record after cancellation for the periods described in our Privacy Policy.

Refunds

• First-time subscribers: 7-day full refund. If you’re subscribing for the first time and you ask within 7 days of your first payment, we’ll refund that payment in full, no questions. Email [email protected].
• After 7 days, or for renewals: we don’t offer pro-rated refunds for the unused portion of a billing period. Cancel anytime and keep access through the end of the period you’ve already paid for.
• Renewals charged in error (for example, because a cancellation request didn’t go through, or a billing bug on our end): contact us and we’ll refund the renewal in full.

Express consent for EU / EEA / UK consumers(Consumer Rights Directive, Art. 16(m)). If you’re a consumer in the EU, EEA, or UK, you ordinarily have a 14-day right to withdraw from a distance contract for digital services. By starting your subscription and ticking the acceptance box at checkout, you expressly request that we begin supplying the digital service immediately and you acknowledge that, once we have begun supplying it with your express consent, you lose the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal. Our voluntary 7-day refund above still applies; nothing in this paragraph reduces it.

Price changes

If we change the recurring price, current subscribers get at least 30 days’ notice by email before the new price takes effect, with a clear option to cancel before being charged at the new rate.

Your license to use the app

Subject to your continued compliance with these Terms and to your subscription being active, OTHEXCORP grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to install and use the App for your personal use or the internal business use of the organisation that subscribed.

If your subscription lapses, the license terminates automatically. The App will continue to launch but subscription features will be locked behind a re-subscription prompt. Captures, edits, and settings already on your disk remain yours and remain on your disk.

What we do not grant: no right to sell, rent, lease, sub-license, time-share, or commercially exploit the App; no right to remove or alter proprietary notices in the binaries; no right to use QuipShot to build a competing product.

Devices & deactivation

Your QuipShot subscription may be signed in on up to three (3) devices at any one time. You can see your signed-in devices and deactivate any of them from /account. Each linked machine is identified by a one-way hashed device identifier the App generates locally (see the Privacy Policyfor what that is and isn’t).

Automatic updates

The App updates itself automatically. By installing the App you consent to it downloading and installing updates from us, including security updates, in the background. Updates are cryptographically signed; the App verifies that signature before applying them.

You can defer feature updates by quitting the App. You cannot opt out of security updateswhile continuing to use the App on a current subscription — keeping every device on a patched build is part of how we protect every other subscriber. If you object to automatic updates as a condition of use, your remedy is to cancel under §Renewals & cancellation.

Update requests necessarily reveal your IP address and the App’s version to the update server, as any HTTP request does. See the Privacy Policyfor what we do and don’t log.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the website or App to do anything unlawful, or to help anyone else do so;
• attempt to break, overload, scrape abusively, or probe the website or our infrastructure;
• attempt to circumvent, disable, or interfere with the 3-device limit, license verification, signature verification, the auto-updater, or any other licensing or authentication mechanism, or use modified clients to do so;
• share your account credentials outside the seat count your subscription allows, or resell, sublicense, or redistribute the App or your subscription;
• reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the limited extent that applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction (for example, under Article 6 of EU Directive 2009/24/EC for interoperability purposes);
• use the App to capture content you have no right to capture (for example, copyrighted material in violation of the rights-holder’s licence, or another person’s private information in violation of the laws that apply to you).

Circumvention of these technological protection measures may be unlawful under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §1201), the EU Software Directive (2009/24/EC, Art. 7), and equivalent laws in other jurisdictions. We can suspend or terminate accounts that breach this section, with notice where reasonable and without notice where the breach is serious or ongoing.

Your screenshots & content

You own one hundred per cent of every screenshot, recording, annotation, and edit you make with QuipShot.QuipShot the App does not upload your captures, does not index them, does not transmit them, and does not phone home with them — by design and by architecture. We claim no licence, no ownership, no right of access, and no right of inspection over your captures. They are your files on your disk.

If we ever change this — for example, by adding an opt-in cloud-sync feature — it will be exactly that: opt-in, called out in a release note, and governed by an updated Privacy Policy that you’d need to read and accept before any of your content left your machine.

Feedback.If you send us suggestions, bug reports, or feature ideas, you give us a perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use them to improve QuipShot, without any obligation to credit or compensate you. You don’t lose any rights in your own underlying work by telling us about a bug.

Our content & trademarks

The QuipShot name and logo, the website design, the marketing copy, the App’s compiled binaries, source code, icons, and other proprietary materials are owned by OTHEXCORPand protected by copyright, trade-mark, and other intellectual-property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any of those rights to you, except the limited licence to use the App described in §Your license.

Third-party marks. Names like Snipping Tool, ShareX, Snagit, CleanShot X, Windows, macOS, Stripe, AWS, Cloudflare, and others appear on this site only to identify those products. They belong to their respective owners. If you believe your trademark is being misused on the Service, email [email protected] with your trademark and registration details, the URL or location of the alleged misuse, a description of the issue, and your contact details. We respond to complete complaints within 10 business days.

Third-party services

The website depends on third-party services — including Stripe (payments), AWS (hosting + email), and Cloudflare (CDN/security). Those services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies; using QuipShot necessarily involves your data passing through them as described in the Privacy Policy.

Warranties

Except as expressly set out in these Terms, the website, the account dashboard, and the App are provided “AS IS”and “AS AVAILABLE,” without any warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by the laws that apply to you, we disclaim all implied warranties, including the implied warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from a course of dealing or course of performance.

We do not warrant that the website or the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, free of malicious code, or that defects will be corrected, nor that the App is compatible with any specific configuration of Windows, hardware, or third-party software.

Your statutory consumer rights.If you’re a consumer, you have legal rights under the law of the country you live in — for example, in the United Kingdom under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, in the European Union under the Sale of Goods Directive and the Digital Content Directive, and in Australia under the Australian Consumer Law. Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any of those statutory rights to the extent they cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted, or modified. The disclaimers in this section apply only to the extent permitted by the law that protects you.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by the law that applies to you:

• our total aggregate liability to you for any and all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms, the website, your account, or the App is limited to the amount you paid us for your QuipShot subscription in the twelve (12) months immediately before the event giving rise to the claim (or, if you paid us nothing in that period, US$100);
• we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, loss of goodwill, or business interruption, even if we’ve been advised of the possibility of such damages;
• we are not liable for loss of screenshots, recordings, edits, or settings stored on your computer — those are your files on your disk, and backing them up is your responsibility.

Carve-outs.Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded — for example, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, liability under non-excludable consumer-protection statutes, or any other liability that the law in your country prohibits us from limiting.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless OTHEXCORP, its officers, directors, employees, and contractors from any third-party claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms, your violation of any law or the rights of any third party in connection with your use of the Service, or content you capture or process with the App where that content infringes another person’s rights or breaks the law.

Suspension & termination

By you. You can cancel at any time under §Renewals & cancellation, and you can close your account from /account or by emailing [email protected].

By us, for convenience. We may discontinue the QuipShot product, or end your access for any reason, on at least 30 days’ email notice, in which case we will refund any prepaid fees covering the period after termination.

By us, for cause. We may suspend or terminate your account and the desktop-app licence immediately if you materially breach these Terms (in particular §Acceptable use), if your payment method fails and is not cured within the grace period under §Price & billing, or if we are required to do so by law. We do not refund pre-paid amounts for terminations due to your breach.

Effect of termination. The desktop-app licence in §Your licenseends; subscription features lock; linked devices are unbound. Sections that by their nature should survive — §Our content & trademarks, §Warranties, §Limitation of liability, §Indemnification, §Governing law, §Disputes, and §General— survive.

Service availability

We work hard to keep QuipShot available and reliable, but we do not offer a service-level agreement (SLA) or guaranteed uptime. The Service is provided on an “as available”basis. Planned maintenance, third-party-provider outages (including but not limited to Stripe, Amazon Web Services, and Cloudflare), and unforeseen incidents may interrupt the Service from time to time. We design the desktop app to keep working offline through a grace window so that a temporary backend outage doesn’t lock you out of work you’ve already done.

Force majeure

Neither of us is liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations under these Terms to the extent caused by events beyond our reasonable control — including outages or failures of Amazon Web Services, Cloudflare, Stripe, or the GitHub Container Registry; internet-backbone failures; large-scale denial-of-service attacks; acts of government; pandemics, natural disasters, or war. The desktop app’s offline-grace window is designed to minimise the impact of such events on your day-to-day use.

Export controls & sanctions

QuipShot is operated from the United States. By using the Service, you represent that you are not located in, ordinarily resident in, or a national of any country or region subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions (currently including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine), and that you are not on any U.S. government list of restricted or denied parties. We may refuse, suspend, or terminate service to anyone we determine in good faith is in violation of applicable export-control or sanctions laws.

Software integrity

The QuipShot desktop installer and its automatic updates are code-signed by OTHEXCORP. Your operating system will refuse to install or apply an update whose signature is invalid or whose signer is not us. While we take reasonable measures to protect our build, signing, and distribution infrastructure, we do not warrant that the Service or the App will be free from all forms of supply-chain compromise. Always download the app from quipshot.comor via the in-app updater, and never from a third-party mirror.

If we discontinue QuipShot

If we decide to discontinue the Service permanently, we will email all active account holders at least 60 daysin advance to the address on file, stop new sign-ups immediately, and ensure the desktop app remains functional through any subscription period you have already paid for (or refund the unused portion, whichever is greater). During the notice period you will be able to export your account data and cancel any auto-renewal. After the wind-down date, we will delete all user personal data from our active systems within 90 days, subject to the legal-retention carve-outs in our Privacy Policy.

Copyright complaints (DMCA)

OTHEXCORPrespects intellectual-property rights. If you believe that material on the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice that includes everything required by 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3) — your contact info, identification of the copyrighted work, identification of the allegedly infringing material with enough detail to locate it, a good-faith statement that the use is not authorised, a statement under penalty of perjury that your notice is accurate and you are authorised to act for the rights-holder, and your physical or electronic signature.

Send notices to [email protected]with subject line “DMCA Notice,” or by post to the address in §Contact. We respond to complete notices promptly.

Open-source notices

The App and the website are built on open-source components, each licensed under its own open-source licence. The App preserves those licences within it, available under Help, then Open-source notices.

Nothing in these Terms purports to override any open-source licence: where an open-source licence grants you rights that conflict with these Terms in relation to a particular component, the open-source licence wins for that component.

App-store distribution

QuipShot is currently distributed only as a direct download from quipshot.com and is not offered through the Microsoft Store, the Mac App Store, the Apple App Store, or Google Play. If we later distribute QuipShot through any of those stores, the additional terms that store imposes will apply alongside these Terms and, where they conflict for that distribution channel, will take precedence to the extent required by the store.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to §Disputes, the state and federal courts located in Florida have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute that is not subject to small-claims court under §Disputes.

Consumer carve-out.If you’re a consumer, the choice of governing law above does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory consumer-protection laws of the country where you have your habitual residence; you can bring proceedings against us in the courts of that country and rely on the protections that local law gives you.

Disputes

Try to talk first. Before filing anything, please email [email protected]with a clear description of the issue and what you’d like us to do about it. We’ll try in good faith to resolve it within 30 days.

Court, not arbitration.If informal resolution fails, disputes will be resolved in the Florida courts identified in §Governing law. We have intentionally notincluded a mandatory pre-dispute arbitration clause or a class-action waiver. We think a small subscription product shouldn’t lock its users out of the court system to protect itself from a hypothetical class action; if QuipShot ever grows to a scale where that calculus changes, we’ll say so clearly in an updated version of these Terms and give you advance notice.

Small-claims carve-out. Either of us may bring a qualifying claim in a small-claims court in the country or state where you live, without first going through the informal-resolution step above.

Changes to these terms

The “effective” date at the top of this page always reflects the current version.

Non-material changes (typos, clarifications, restructuring) take effect when published; we’ll bump the date and add a row to the revision history.

Material changes— anything that changes your rights or obligations in a meaningful way (price, refund window, device cap, governing law, dispute resolution, scope of licence) — take effect at least 30 days after we notify you, by emailing the address on your account, posting a prominent notice in the account dashboard, and adding an entry to our public changelog and to the revision history below.

If you don’t agree to a material change, your remedy is to cancel under §Renewals & cancellationbefore the change takes effect; continuing to use QuipShot after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms.

General

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the rest stay in force, and the invalid provision will be narrowed to the minimum extent needed to make it enforceable.

Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any order-specific terms you accept at checkout are the entire agreement between us about QuipShot, and supersede any prior or contemporaneous understandings.

No waiver. A failure or delay by us in enforcing any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.

Electronic signatures and notices.Ticking an acceptance box, clicking a “subscribe” button, or otherwise signalling agreement electronically is a valid signature with the same effect as a handwritten one. You agree to receive notices from us electronically — by email to the address on your account, or by an in-app or in-dashboard notice. You can give us notices by email to [email protected]or by post to the address in §Contact.

Headingsare for convenience only and don’t affect the interpretation of these Terms.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, your account, or your subscription to anyone else without our prior written consent. Wemay assign these Terms — for example, to a successor entity in a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all our assets — on notice to you, provided the assignee agrees to be bound by these Terms.

Relationship.We’re independent contractors with respect to each other; nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship.
