Quick Scope — Terms of Service

Effective Date: 14 October 2025
Contact: [email protected]
Operator: The provider of the Quick Scope application and related services (the “Operator,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

1. Agreement to Terms

By installing, accessing, or using the Quick Scope mobile application, website, and related services (collectively, the “Services”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (the “Terms”). If you do not agree, you may not use the Services.

2. Changes to the Terms and Services

We may update these Terms or modify the Services from time to time (e.g., for security, legal, or operational reasons). We will provide notice of material changes in a reasonable manner for the distribution channel (e.g., in‑app notice or update notes). Continued use of the Services after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

3. Definitions

• User or you: any individual who uses the Services.
• User Content: any content you submit to the Services, including photos of tasks/assignments/questions and associated prompts and metadata.
• Answers: information or explanations auto‑generated by AI systems based on User Content.
• External Providers: third‑party service providers (including AI model providers) that process data to help us operate and improve the Services, e.g., OpenAI.
• Excluded Jurisdictions: territories where use of the Services is prohibited or restricted by law or sanctions (including, without limitation, Mainland China; Cuba; Iran; North Korea; Syria; the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine; and any other territories or parties subject to comprehensive U.S., UK, or EU sanctions).

4. Eligibility; Children

4.1 Adults; minors with supervision. The Services are intended for adults. Minors may use the Services only with the consent and under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian.
4.2 U.S. (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 in the United States without verifiable parental consent.
4.3 EU (GDPR Article 8). In the EU/EEA/UK, if consent is the legal basis, the age threshold is determined by local law (typically 16 and not lower than 13). Guardians must provide consent where required.

5. Accounts Not Required; Technical Identifiers

No user account is required. We may process device identifiers and diagnostic/telemetry data for security, fraud prevention, billing (if applicable), quality assurance, and product improvement.

6. License and Acceptable Use

6.1 License. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a revocable, non‑exclusive, non‑transferable, limited license to use the Services for their intended purpose.
6.2 Permitted purpose. The Services are intended solely to capture images of educational tasks, assignments, or questions to obtain explanations and solutions.
6.3 Prohibited content and conduct. You agree not to submit or use the Services for: (a) off‑topic images (e.g., people, places, documents, private communications), (b) any personal data or likeness of any natural person, (c) content infringing third‑party rights (including textbook scans or exam sheets beyond permitted use), (d) cheating on quizzes, tests, exams, or violating institutional rules, (e) reverse engineering, scraping, or security circumvention, or (f) any use prohibited by export control or sanctions laws.
6.4 Ownership of the Services. You retain your rights in your User Content. We and our licensors own all rights, title, and interest in and to the Services (including software, models, and documentation).

6.5 License to Answers (Outputs). Subject to these Terms, we grant you a non‑exclusive, worldwide, perpetual license to use, reproduce, and display Answers for your personal, non‑commercial educational purposes (and for any other uses we expressly permit in writing). For clarity, (a) we do not assert ownership over your User Content, and (b) rights in Answers are granted only to the extent such rights exist under applicable law. Feedback you provide may be used by us without restriction.

7. User Content; Rights and Responsibilities

7.1 Your representations. You represent and warrant that you have all rights and permissions necessary to submit User Content and that your User Content and use of the Services will not violate law or third‑party rights.
7.2 Processing purposes. You authorize us to process User Content to (a) provide the Services and generate Answers, (b) detect, investigate, and prevent abuse and security incidents, (c) diagnose and correct errors, (d) perform analytics and quality assurance, (e) comply with legal obligations, and (f) improve the Services as described in Section 8.
7.3 Moderation. We may, with automated means and/or human review, monitor, refuse, remove, block, or restrict access to User Content that we reasonably believe violates these Terms or law. We may suspend or terminate access where reasonably necessary to protect the Services or third parties. EU users may have additional redress under Section 20.

8. Improvement of the Services

We may use User Content and derived data (e.g., OCR results, embeddings, annotations) to train, test, calibrate, and evaluate algorithms and models used to operate and improve the Services. EU users: where our legal basis is legitimate interests, you have the right to object at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation (see Section 18.5), and we will honor that objection unless we have compelling legitimate grounds. To object, email [email protected] with the subject line “GDPR Objection – Model Improvement,” and we will apply your choice going forward.

9. External Providers (including AI model providers)

9.1 Use of External Providers. We may share User Content and related data with External Providers (such as OpenAI) to process it on our behalf for the purposes described in these Terms.
9.2 Cross‑border transfers. Data may be processed in countries other than your own, including the United States. We use appropriate transfer mechanisms required by applicable law (e.g., standard contractual clauses; adequacy decisions).
9.3 Third‑party terms. Processing by External Providers is subject to their terms and privacy notices. Our Privacy Policy describes the categories of recipients and legal bases in more detail.

10. Retention

We may retain User Content and related data for as long as necessary for the purposes described in these Terms, including to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, and then delete or anonymize it unless otherwise required by law. Where storage‑limitation rules apply (e.g., GDPR), we will not keep data longer than necessary for those purposes.

11. Intellectual Property; DMCA and Notice of Infringement

11.1 IP complaints. If you believe content available via the Services infringes your rights, notify us at [email protected] with sufficient detail to identify the work claimed to be infringed, the allegedly infringing material, and the statements required by applicable law.
11.2 U.S. DMCA. We follow a notice‑and‑takedown process consistent with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act and maintain a repeat infringer policy, which may include termination of access. Designated Agent: DMCA Agent, Quick Scope — Email: [email protected].
11.3 Indemnity for your content. You are responsible for your User Content and agree to indemnify us for claims arising from it (see Section 17).

12. Disclaimers (No Professional Advice; AI Output)

12.1 Educational only. Answers are generated automatically and are for educational purposes only; they are not professional advice (legal, medical, financial, or otherwise).
12.2 No warranties. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Services and Answers are provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, quiet enjoyment, non‑infringement, and uninterrupted or error‑free operation.
12.3 EU consumers. Nothing in this Section excludes mandatory statutory rights or remedies that cannot be disclaimed under applicable consumer law.

13. Limitation of Liability

13.1 Types of damages. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we and our affiliates, suppliers, and partners will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages; loss of profits; loss of data; reputational harm; or business interruption.
13.2 Monetary cap. Our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Services will not exceed USD 1 (or the total amount you paid to us for the Services in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to liability, if greater), and where the Services are provided free of charge, the cap is USD 0. This cap does not apply to EU/UK consumers where liability cannot be limited under mandatory law, including for lack of conformity of digital content/services or failure to exercise reasonable skill and care.
13.3 Consumer and mandatory law carve‑outs. The above exclusions and limitations do not apply to the extent prohibited by law (e.g., liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, such as for intentional misconduct, and, in many jurisdictions, for gross negligence or personal injury). For EU consumers, these Terms do not limit liability beyond what is permitted by mandatory consumer law.

14. Export Controls, Sanctions, and Geographic Restrictions

You may not access or use the Services in Excluded Jurisdictions or for any purpose prohibited by export control or sanctions laws. You represent that you are not subject to government sanctions or located in any restricted country or on any restricted‑party list.

15. Third‑Party Links and Services

The Services may reference or interoperate with third‑party services. We are not responsible for third‑party services, and your use of them may be subject to separate terms.

16. Term; Suspension; Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time where reasonably necessary (e.g., for security, legal, or business reasons, or upon suspected breach). You may stop using the Services at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 6.5, 7–9, 11–21) will survive.

17. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Operator and our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your User Content; (b) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; or (c) your misuse of the Services.

18. Data Protection; Privacy Rights (EU/EEA/UK and U.S.)

18.1 Controller. Unless otherwise stated in our Privacy Policy, the Operator is the data controller of personal data processed via the Services.
18.2 Legal bases (EU). Depending on the processing activity, we rely on one or more legal bases under GDPR (e.g., performance of a contract, legitimate interests, compliance with legal obligations, and, where applicable, consent).
18.3 Your rights (EU). Subject to legal limits, EU users have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection. You may exercise rights by contacting [email protected]. We may request reasonable verification of identity and may refuse requests as permitted by law.
18.4 Transfers. When transferring personal data outside the EU/EEA/UK, we implement appropriate safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses).
18.5 Objection to processing for improvement. Where our legal basis is legitimate interests (see Section 8), EU users may object at any time based on their particular situation. We will cease processing unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds or processing is necessary for legal claims.
18.6 U.S. children’s data. We comply with COPPA as described in Section 4.2.

19. No Account Deletion Feature

Because the Services do not require an account, there is no self‑service account deletion feature. You may request deletion or other data rights under Section 18.

20. Notice, Appeals, and EU Platform Rules (Digital Services Act, where applicable)

If we remove or restrict content or access for alleged violations, we will, where required by law, provide a statement of reasons and information on available redress. EU users may submit an internal complaint via [email protected] and, where applicable, seek out‑of‑court dispute settlement or judicial redress under local law.

21. Region‑Specific Consumer Information

21.1 EU/EEA/UK consumers. If you purchase paid features: (a) you may have a statutory right to withdraw within 14 days for digital content/services not supplied on a tangible medium; (b) if you request immediate performance, you acknowledge and consent that delivery begins immediately and you may lose the right of withdrawal to the extent permitted by law; and (c) you have statutory guarantees of conformity for digital content and digital services under Directive (EU) 2019/770 (and national implementations), with remedies including bringing the content/service into conformity, proportionate price reduction, or termination. These Terms do not affect your mandatory consumer rights.
21.2 U.S. consumers. Certain state consumer laws (e.g., in California, Colorado, Connecticut, etc.) may provide additional privacy rights described in our Privacy Policy.

22. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

The laws of your place of habitual residence with mandatory consumer protections will apply where required. Otherwise, these Terms will be governed by the law of the jurisdiction of the Operator’s principal place of business, without regard to conflict‑of‑laws principles, and the courts there will have exclusive jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section deprives EU consumers of protections afforded by mandatory law or the right to bring claims in local courts. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

[Optional U.S. arbitration/class‑action waiver language can be inserted here if the Operator intends to adopt it and local law permits.]

23. Miscellaneous

23.1 Entire agreement. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services and supersede prior understandings.
23.2 Severability. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
23.3 No waiver. A failure to enforce a right is not a waiver.
23.4 Assignment. We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to an affiliate or successor; you may not assign without our prior written consent.
23.5 Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures due to events beyond our reasonable control.
23.6 Interpretation. Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation. Terms like “including” mean “including without limitation.”
