Terms of Service
Effective date: November 9, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the TrophySnap mobile app and the website at trophysnap.app (together, the “Service”). By downloading, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
Effective date: November 9, 2026.
Your use of the Service is also subject to our Privacy Policy. These Terms apply to TrophySnap only (not PennyPatrol).
1. The Service
TrophySnap is a fishing companion that may include features such as:
- Account sign-in (email/password and/or Sign in with Apple or other OAuth options supported by the app) and optional cloud sync of your logbook / vault via our backend.
- Catch photos, AI-assisted species identification, measurement / weight estimates, and metallic data-plate overlays.
- Tide, weather, solunar / bite context, rain-radar related information, maps, and private fishing spots (including offline map cache where available).
- Local notifications you enable, premium entitlements / credits, and advertising in the free experience where ads are shown.
Features may change, require permissions (camera, photos, location, notifications, tracking), an internet connection, or a paid entitlement. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue parts of the Service.
2. Eligibility and accounts
- You must be able to form a binding contract under applicable law. The Service is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your region). If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Service only with parental or guardian consent and supervision.
- You are responsible for your account credentials and for activity under your account. Provide accurate information and keep your email reachable for account notices.
- Sign-in options may include email/password and Sign in with Apple or other platform OAuth. Platform sign-in is also subject to Apple’s / Google’s (or other provider’s) terms.
3. Your content (photos, catches, spots)
You retain ownership of the catch photos, log entries, plate customizations, location spots, and other content you create or upload (“User Content”), subject to rights you have already granted to others and to these Terms.
By submitting User Content, you grant TrophySnap a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, process, transmit, display, and create derivative works (for example AI analysis outputs and metallic plate overlays) solely as needed to operate, improve, secure, and support the Service for you — including syncing to our backend when you are signed in and calling third-party processors described in the Privacy Policy.
You represent that you have the rights needed to submit User Content and that it does not violate law or others’ rights. Private fishing spots and related location data are for your personal use of the Service; do not use the Service to harass others or to unlawfully access private property.
4. AI features (species ID, measurements, suggestions)
AI-assisted features (including Google Gemini / Google AI–powered species identification, bite suggestions, and related analysis) and photo-based length / weight estimates are estimates and informational tools only. They may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unavailable. They are not a scientific determination, not veterinary or regulatory advice, and not a guarantee of species, size, weight, or fishing success. Always use your own judgment and applicable regulations.
5. Tide, weather, solunar, rain, and map data
Tide, weather, solunar / bite context, rain-radar, forecast, and map / bathymetry information (including data from third parties such as WeatherAPI, WorldTides, RainViewer, Open-Meteo, and map-tile delivery) is provided for general informational and recreational fishing context only. It is not for navigation, marine safety, search-and-rescue, severe-weather decision-making, or any life-critical use. Conditions change; sensors and third-party feeds can be wrong or delayed. Do not rely on the Service where accurate official sources or professional judgment are required.
6. Fishing laws and safety
You are solely responsible for complying with all fishing licenses, seasons, bag limits, protected species rules, private-property and access rules, and other laws where you fish. TrophySnap does not grant any fishing rights or permissions. You are also responsible for your own outdoor safety (weather, water, wildlife, equipment).
7. Subscriptions, in-app purchases, and refunds
Optional premium features or credits may be offered through the Apple App Store and/or Google Play, with entitlement management via Qonversion (and related store billing). Prices and offer details are shown in the store / purchase UI at the time of purchase (this page does not list prices).
- Auto-renewal: Subscriptions may auto-renew unless you cancel through your Apple or Google account subscription settings before the renewal date, according to the store’s rules.
- Cancellation: Manage or cancel in the platform subscription settings (Apple ID / Google Play subscriptions). Deleting the app or your TrophySnap account does not automatically cancel a store subscription.
- Refunds: Refunds are handled under Apple’s and Google’s respective refund policies. Contact the store first for billing disputes; you may also email [email protected] for product support (we cannot override store billing systems).
8. Advertising
The free experience may show ads via Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) and related advertising identifiers, subject to device permissions and platform tracking rules (including App Tracking Transparency on iOS where applicable). See the Privacy Policy for details.
9. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Misuse the Service, attempt unauthorized access, disrupt infrastructure, or probe vulnerabilities except through legitimate coordinated disclosure to us.
- Reverse engineer, scrape, or systematically extract non-public Service data or others’ content except as allowed by mandatory law.
- Submit unlawful, infringing, deceptive, or harmful content; impersonate others; or use the Service to violate fishing, privacy, or property laws.
- Abuse AI, forecast, or quota-limited features (for example automated bulk requests intended to evade limits).
- Resell or misuse the Service in a way that violates these Terms or applicable store rules.
10. Our intellectual property
The Service’s software, branding, logo, UI, metallic plate designs, and related materials are owned by TrophySnap and its licensors. These Terms do not transfer ownership to you. You may not use our marks without permission, except as needed for normal use of the app or fair nominative reference.
11. Termination and account deletion
You may stop using the Service at any time. To delete your account and associated synced data: in the app open Settings → Delete Account and confirm, or email [email protected]. Uninstalling the app alone does not delete cloud data. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms, create risk, or if we discontinue the Service. Provisions that by nature should survive (including licenses already exercised, disclaimers, and limitations) survive termination.
12. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT AI OUTPUTS, MEASUREMENTS, TIDES, WEATHER, MAPS, OR NOTIFICATIONS WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR UNINTERRUPTED.
13. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TROPHYSNAP AND ITS OPERATORS, AFFILIATES, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE — INCLUDING RELIANCE ON AI, TIDE, WEATHER, OR MAP INFORMATION, OR OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES YOU UNDERTAKE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM (EXCLUDING AMOUNTS PAID TO APPLE/GOOGLE THAT WE DO NOT RECEIVE) OR (B) USD $50. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS; IN THOSE CASES, OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED.
14. Third-party services and links
The Service relies on third parties (including Supabase, Google AI / Gemini, WeatherAPI, WorldTides, RainViewer, Open-Meteo, map-tile delivery, Qonversion, AdMob, and Apple / Google). Their services are subject to their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party outages, changes, or policies.
15. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will change the effective date on this page and, when changes are material, take additional steps as required by law. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
16. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws applicable to the operator of TrophySnap, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where mandatory consumer-protection laws in your country of residence require otherwise. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally by contacting us, courts with competent jurisdiction may hear the dispute, subject to those mandatory protections. (Governing law / venue and the legal entity name are not specified in the public app repository; contact us if you need the operator’s legal name for a formal notice.)
