Terms of Use

1. Agreement

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Garson Tech (“we”, “us”) for your use of Teleprompter GT on iPhone, iPad and Mac (“the app”) and the sync service that comes with Pro (together, “the service”). By downloading or using the app you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

2. Who can use the app

You must be at least 13 years old to use the app. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the app only with the permission of a parent or guardian, who agrees to these Terms for you.

3. Your licence

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the app on Apple devices that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. The app, its design, logos and code belong to Garson Tech and are protected by law. You may not copy, modify, resell, reverse engineer or decompile the app, except where the law allows this despite these Terms.

4. Free and Pro

The app is free to use with some limits, such as script length and take length. Pro is an optional subscription that removes those limits and adds features, including sync between your devices. The app shows what each plan includes. We may add, change or remove features over time.

Subscriptions

• Pro is sold as a monthly or annual subscription through Apple’s App Store. The price is shown in the app and on the App Store, in your local currency, before you buy.
• Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. If the annual plan includes a free trial, you are charged when the trial ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. Apple allows one free trial per Apple Account.
• Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each period, at the then-current price, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends. Your account is charged for renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends.
• You can manage or cancel your subscription in your device’s Settings, under your Apple Account’s Subscriptions. Cancelling stops the next renewal. Pro stays active until the end of the period you paid for.
• Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies. We cannot issue refunds for App Store purchases. You can request one at reportaproblem.apple.com.
• If we change the price, Apple will notify you as its rules require, and you can cancel before the new price applies.

When Pro ends, your scripts and takes are not deleted. Features that need Pro, such as sync, stop working until you subscribe again.

5. Your account and sync

To sync, you sign in with Apple. You are responsible for keeping your Apple Account and your devices secure, and for activity on your account. You can sign out or delete your account in the app at any time. Deleting your account deletes your synced data from our server, as described in the Privacy Policy, and does not cancel your subscription.

We work to keep sync reliable, but it is not a backup service. Keep your own copies of scripts that matter to you. We may need to suspend sync briefly for maintenance or to fix problems.

6. Your content

Scripts you write or import and takes you record (“your content”) belong to you. If you use sync, you give us permission to store, copy and transmit your scripts only as needed to provide sync to you. We do not use your content for any other purpose, and this permission ends when you delete the content or your account.

You are responsible for your content. Only import or use material you have the right to use, and do not use the app to create or store content that is unlawful.

7. Recording and using the camera

You are responsible for how you use the camera and microphone. Before you record anyone else, make sure you have their permission and follow the laws on recording where you are. Do not use the app to record anyone without their knowledge where that is unlawful.

8. Acceptable use

Do not misuse the service. In particular, do not:

• try to access other people’s accounts or data, or our servers, other than through the app as intended;
• interfere with or overload the service, or try to get around its limits or its subscription checks;
• use the service to break any law or anyone else’s rights.

We may suspend or end your access to sync if you break these Terms or put the service or other people at risk.

9. Beta features

Some features, such as voice-follow, are marked Beta. They may not always follow your speech accurately and may change or be removed. Always be ready to control the prompter by hand, especially in live or recorded productions.

10. Disclaimers

The app and the service are provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not promise that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free or that it will never lose data.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Garson Tech will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use the app or the service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the app or the service is limited to the amount you paid for Pro in the 12 months before the claim, or US $50, whichever is greater. Some places do not allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that cannot be waived.

12. Ending these Terms

You can stop using the app at any time and delete your account in the app. These Terms end automatically if you break them. Sections 6, 10, 11, 14 and 15 continue to apply after these Terms end.

13. Apple

These Terms are between you and Garson Tech only, not Apple. In addition:

• Garson Tech, not Apple, is solely responsible for the app and its content, and for providing any maintenance and support. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
• If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price, if any. To the maximum extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app.
• Garson Tech, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the app, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer protection claims.
• If anyone claims the app or your use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, Garson Tech, not Apple, is responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of that claim.
• You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• You must comply with any third-party terms that apply when using the app, such as your network provider’s terms.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. Once you accept them, Apple has the right, and is deemed to have accepted the right, to enforce them against you.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will change the effective date at the top and, if a change is significant, tell you in the app before it takes effect. If you keep using the app after a change takes effect, you accept the updated Terms.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute relating to these Terms or the app will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in New Jersey, unless the consumer laws of the country where you live give you the right to bring a claim in your local courts.
