Terms of Use

These terms are the agreement between you and Maccu for the app and this website. If you do not agree, please do not use Maccu.

Privacy is explained separately in our Privacy Policy. For store purchases, Apple's or Google's terms also apply.

What Maccu is

Maccu helps families capture children's drawings, keep them in sketchbooks, and hold onto them. Today that means:

• Photographing a drawing or choosing one from your photos
• On-device scanning so the page can live in a sketchbook
• Family profiles so siblings can have their own books
• Sharing a page through the system share sheet
• Optional Maccu Premium: more children, more pages, every notebook design, artwork effects, more export formats, and backup to your iCloud or Google Drive

We may improve, pause, or retire a feature. Drawings already on your device stay yours.

Who may use it

You must be old enough to enter a contract in your country, typically a parent or guardian looking after a family sketchbook. Maccu is not a child's own account.

If you add a child's name, age, photo, or artwork, you confirm you have the right to do so.

Your account

After the introduction you sign in with Apple, Google, or email. Keep that sign-in safe. You are responsible for activity on the account.

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or the law, or harms other people. You can delete your account at any time in the app (profile screen → Delete account), or ask us from the Delete account page.

Your family's art

You keep the rights in the drawings and photos you add. You give Maccu a limited permission to process them on the device, show them in the app, export them when you ask, and, if you turn backup on, copy them into your own iCloud or Google Drive app data.

Do not add material you are not allowed to keep. Do not use Maccu to harm anyone, to break the law, or to interfere with the service.

Maccu, the name, the illustrations, and the product design are ours. Please do not copy them for another service.

Maccu Premium

Premium is an auto-renewing subscription. You can choose monthly or yearly. The title, length, and price are shown in the app and on the Apple App Store or Google Play before you pay.

• Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account when you confirm the purchase.
• The subscription renews automatically unless you turn auto-renew off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
• Manage or cancel in your Apple ID or Google Play subscription settings after purchase. Deleting the app or the Maccu account does not cancel the store subscription.
• To restore a purchase, use the same Apple ID or Google account that bought it.

Without Premium you can still keep a sketchbook: one child profile, up to 25 saved drawings, the first notebook design, and basic exports (the drawing on white and the original photo). Premium unlocks unlimited children and pages, every notebook design, artwork effects, transparent and clean-scan exports, and cloud backup.

If Premium ends, what you already saved remains on the device. New drawings, extra children, extra designs, effects, and backups follow the free limits until you subscribe again. You can delete older pages to make room, or upgrade.

Backups

Cloud backup is a Premium feature you turn on yourself. Copies go to your iCloud or Google Drive app data, under your Apple ID or Google account. Maccu is not a replacement for backing up your device. If you switch cloud accounts or delete those files, we cannot get them back.

The app and this site

We offer Maccu as it is. Scans depend on the photo, the lighting, and the device. We do not promise that every drawing will scan perfectly, that the service will never pause, or that a backup will always complete. To the fullest extent the law allows, Maccu is provided without warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

To the fullest extent the law allows, Maccu is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or lost-data damages, or for an amount above what you paid for Premium in the three months before the claim (or zero, if you have not paid). Some places do not allow these limits; there, they apply only as far as the law permits. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have as a consumer that cannot be waived.

Your licence

We give you a personal, non-transferable licence to use Maccu on devices you own or control, as the App Store or Google Play usage rules allow. You confirm that you are not in a country under a U.S. government embargo and are not on a U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

Apple and Google

If you download Maccu from the App Store, you and Maccu acknowledge that these terms are between you and Maccu, not Apple. Maccu, not Apple, is responsible for the app and its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.

If Maccu fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price for the app; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation. Apple is not responsible for addressing claims relating to the app or your use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer-protection or similar claims. Maccu, not Apple, is responsible for investigating and handling any claim that the app infringes a third party's intellectual property.

Questions and complaints about the app go to Maccu at hello@maccu.app. You must also follow any third-party terms that apply when you use Maccu, such as your mobile carrier's. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.

On Google Play, Google's terms for the store and for Play subscriptions also apply to those purchases.

Changes

We may update these terms as Maccu grows. The date at the top will change, and we will tell you in the app or by email before a significant change takes effect. If you keep using Maccu after an update, the new terms apply. If you do not accept them, stop using the app and delete your account.
