CritterSnap

By downloading, installing, or using CritterSnap (the “App”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.

These Terms apply to all users of the App.

CritterSnap is an iOS app for photographing, identifying, and collecting wildlife and nature species as digital stickers. The App uses your camera and location to log sightings, and connects to third-party APIs (iNaturalist, Wikipedia) to provide species identification and educational information. No account or subscription is required to use the App.

You are solely responsible for the photos you take and the content you create using the App. By using the App, you represent and warrant that:

• You own or have the legal right to use any photos captured through the App.
• You will not use the App to photograph, collect, or document wildlife in a manner that violates any applicable law, including laws protecting endangered species or wildlife sanctuaries.
• You will not use the App in any way that infringes the rights of others or violates any applicable regulations.

All photos and collection data remain locally on your device. We do not upload or retain your photos on our servers. Photos submitted to iNaturalist for species identification are governed by iNaturalist’s own terms.

The App integrates with iNaturalist and Wikipedia to provide species identification and information. Your use of these features is also subject to the terms of those services:

• iNaturalist Terms of Use
• Wikimedia Terms of Use

We are not responsible for the accuracy of species identifications or information returned by these third-party services.

The current version of the App is free to download and use. There are no in-app purchases or subscriptions at this time. If paid features are introduced in a future version, these Terms will be updated accordingly.

You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes. You agree not to:

• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App.
• Use the App in any manner that could damage, disable, or impair the App or third-party services it depends on.
• Attempt to circumvent rate limits or abuse the iNaturalist or Wikipedia APIs in violation of their terms.
• Use automated scripts or bots in connection with the App.

The App and all related content — including but not limited to UI design, graphics, logos, achievement artwork, and source code — are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use our trademarks, logos, or other proprietary information.

Species information and images from Wikipedia are provided under Creative Commons licenses as determined by Wikimedia contributors. iNaturalist identification results are subject to their respective licenses.

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. SPECIES IDENTIFICATIONS PROVIDED THROUGH THE APP ARE FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND MAY NOT BE ACCURATE. DO NOT RELY ON THE APP FOR SAFETY-CRITICAL DECISIONS SUCH AS DETERMINING WHETHER A SPECIES IS EDIBLE OR DANGEROUS.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, REVENUE, OR PROFITS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE APP, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING UNDER THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US (IF ANY) IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the App after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the App.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which we operate, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction.
