1. Who we are

InkStrip is operated by TheMattLabs Ltd (“TheMattLabs”, “we”, “us”), registered at 2C Tudor Road, Kingston Upon Thames, KT2 6AW, United Kingdom.

2. What InkStrip is

InkStrip is a comic-reader app for iPhone and iPad. It reads comic files you already have on your device or in cloud folders you connect (iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox). InkStrip does not host, stream, sell, or distribute comic content.

3. Your content stays yours

InkStrip does not upload your comic files. The files you read remain on your device or in the cloud accounts you connect, under your control. You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to read the files you import.

4. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use InkStrip (16 in the EU, 18 in the UK where required by the Age Appropriate Design Code). InkStrip is not designed for children and is not part of Apple’s Kids Category.

5. Account

You can use InkStrip’s free tier without an account. To use InkStrip Pro (including cross-device sync), you must create an account using Sign in with Apple, Sign in with Google, or email and password. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in details secure and for activity that occurs under your account.

6. Subscriptions and payments

• InkStrip Pro is a paid subscription managed by Apple via the App Store
• Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. Manage or cancel your subscription in iOS Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions
• Pricing is shown in the App Store at the point of purchase and may vary by region
• Refunds are handled by Apple under Apple’s refund policy. We can’t process refunds directly
• If your subscription ends, your local comics, reading progress and preferences remain on your device. Cross-device sync stops; synced data on our servers is retained for 90 days then deleted

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use InkStrip to read or distribute content you do not have a legal right to read or distribute
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the app (except where permitted by law)
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of our sync backend, or attempt to access accounts, data or systems you are not authorised to access
• Use the app or our backend in a way that could damage, disable, or impair the service, or interfere with other users

8. Beta software

During the TestFlight beta, the app is provided as-is for evaluation. Features may change, break, or be removed. Beta builds may include extra logging that is removed before the public App Store release.

9. Disclaimers and liability

InkStrip is provided as-is without warranties of any kind to the extent permitted by law. We don’t guarantee the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that sync will always work.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, TheMattLabs Ltd is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of InkStrip. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited by law (including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or fraudulent misrepresentation).

If you are a consumer, you have statutory rights that these terms do not affect.

10. Intellectual property

The InkStrip app, name, and branding are owned by TheMattLabs Ltd. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works of the app or branding without our permission.

11. Termination

You can stop using InkStrip at any time by deleting the app. You can delete your account and synced data at any time — see our account deletion page. We may suspend or terminate accounts that materially breach these terms or that we reasonably believe are being used unlawfully.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the product evolves. For material changes, we’ll update the Last Updated date and notify you in-app or by email where required by law. Continued use after the change means you accept the updated terms.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have non-exclusive jurisdiction, except where mandatory consumer protection law in your country of residence applies.
