Terms of Use

Effective and last updated: 2026-08-02

Please read these Terms of Use ("Terms") carefully before using the ShootingCut application ("App") available on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

1. Who We Are

ShootingCut ("we", "our", or "us") develops and operates the ShootingCut App — a broad competitive-shooting video editor for practical and action-shooting footage. It combines on-device audio analysis with trimming, sequential merging, synchronized and multi-camera editing, person tracking and reframing, performance subtitles, score-aware workflows, and export.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age (or the applicable minimum age in your jurisdiction) to use the App. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement. If you are under 18, you must have the permission of a parent or legal guardian to use the App.

3. License Grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and Apple's applicable usage rules, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial purposes.

This license does not include the right to:

• Sublicense, sell, resell, transfer, or assign the App to any third party
• Modify, translate, adapt, or create derivative works based on the App
• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the App
• Remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices, labels, or marks on the App
• Use the App in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair its functionality

4. App Features and Functionality

The current App version is 1.1.4. Its core features include:

• Audio Analysis: Detection of timer beeps and gunshot events from the audio track of imported video for editing and timing overlays.
• Auto Trim: Takes exactly 1 video and trims it around the stage run.
• Merge: Combines up to 20 clips sequentially into one video.
• Split Sync: Takes exactly 2 simultaneous views, aligns them by the timer beep, and composes a selected split or HUD layout.
• Stage Mix: Takes 2–3 inputs labeled POV, Follow, or Static, performs movement-aware camera switching, and allows manual override.
• Subtitle Overlay: Real-time performance statistics (shot times, splits, total time) overlaid as subtitles on exported video.
• Person / Subject Tracking: Optional on-device tracking that keeps a selected subject framed during export.
• Score Import: Network-based import from supported match-result sources, with official per-shot timing available only where the source provides it.
• iCloud Metadata Sync: Lightweight aliases, perspectives, gun type, score associations, imported match records, fields in those records, and an existing non-anonymous custom RevenueCat App User ID can sync through the user’s iCloud KVS. RevenueCat IDs beginning with $RCAnonymousID:, original media, PCM audio, and person-tracking paths do not use this mechanism.
• Social Sharing: Optional user-initiated upload of selected exports to YouTube or Facebook after separate authorization.

Features may vary between iOS, iPadOS, and macOS and may change or be discontinued. Premium features require an eligible subscription; one subscription covers the subscriber’s Apple devices.

5. Your Content

You retain all rights to the videos, audio, and other media you import into the App ("Your Content"). We do not claim ownership of Your Content. Core audio/video analysis, editing, rendering, and person tracking run on your device. Original footage is not uploaded to a ShootingCut media-processing server for those operations.

Photo Library & iCloud Photos: On iOS and iPadOS, the App uses Apple’s Photos interfaces to import and export video. If selected media exists only in iCloud Photos, Apple may download it on demand. Apple services and your settings govern the related transfer, caching, and synchronization, which can use the network.

macOS File Access & iCloud Drive: On macOS, the App reads or saves files you select, including iCloud Drive locations. Apple services and your settings govern iCloud Drive synchronization.

Score import uses the network. If you initiate a YouTube or Facebook upload, you authorize the App to send the selected export and metadata required by that destination, subject to the platform’s terms.

You represent and warrant that:

• You own or have the necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to use and share Your Content through the App.
• Your Content does not infringe the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any third party.
• Your Content complies with all applicable laws and regulations.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes and in compliance with these Terms. You must not use the App to:

• Violate any applicable local, national, or international law or regulation
• Infringe any intellectual property rights of any person or entity
• Upload, process, or share content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the App or its related systems
• Use automated means (bots, scrapers, etc.) to access or interact with the App
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the App

7. In-App Purchases and Subscriptions

The App offers premium features through auto-renewing subscriptions. Transactions are processed through Apple’s App Store and subscription entitlement is managed with RevenueCat. One subscription covers the subscriber’s Apple devices, subject to the App Store account and entitlement rules.

• Billing: Subscription fees are billed to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase and at the start of each renewal period.
• Auto-Renewal: Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Cancellation: You may cancel at any time through your Apple ID account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; no refunds are issued for partial periods.
• Price Changes: We reserve the right to change subscription pricing. You will be notified in advance of any price changes.
• Free Trials: Any unused portion of a free trial, if offered, will be forfeited upon purchasing a subscription.

Subscription management and purchase inquiries should be directed to Apple's App Store support. We do not process refunds directly.

8. Third-Party Services and Social Platform Integrations

When you use the relevant feature, the App interacts with third-party services for RevenueCat subscription verification, Apple iCloud KVS metadata sync (including an existing non-anonymous custom RevenueCat App User ID used for cross-device entitlement recovery), user-controlled CloudKit detection-improvement reports, score-source imports, and user-initiated YouTube or Facebook uploads. ShootingCut 1.1.4 does not offer TikTok video direct upload.

“Help Improve Gunshot Detection” is currently enabled by default and can be disabled in the App. While disabled, the App does not create new reports or retry its local pending queue. Disabling does not erase reports already submitted to CloudKit or clear the local retry queue. See the Privacy Policy for the fields involved and available controls.

Your use of Apple, RevenueCat, score providers, YouTube, or Facebook is also subject to the applicable provider’s terms and privacy policies.

9. Intellectual Property

The App and all its components — including but not limited to its design, code, audio analysis algorithms, user interface, graphics, documentation, and trademarks — are the exclusive intellectual property of ShootingCut and are protected by applicable copyright, trademark, patent, and trade secret laws. These Terms do not transfer any intellectual property rights to you.

The "ShootingCut" name and logo are trademarks of ShootingCut. You may not use them without prior written permission.

10. Privacy

Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Please review it to understand our data practices.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR ACCURACY. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

The App’s timer-beep and gunshot detection features assist the video-editing workflow. Detection accuracy can vary with recording quality, automatic gain control (AGC), neighboring gunshots, echo or reverb, weak timer beeps, and other conditions. You are responsible for reviewing and correcting detected events before finalizing an edit.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL SHOOTINGCUT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE OR PROPERTY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE APP SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $10.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ShootingCut and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms or your use of the App, including but not limited to Your Content and any use of the App's social sharing features.

14. Termination

These Terms are effective until terminated. We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms or for any other reason at our sole discretion. Upon termination, your license to use the App will immediately cease. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including but not limited to Sections 9, 11, 12, 13, and 15) will survive.

15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the App shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If unresolved within 30 days, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.

Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek emergency injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights or confidential information.

16. Apple-Specific Terms

The following terms apply to your use of the App obtained through the Apple App Store:

• These Terms are between you and ShootingCut only, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
• Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the App.
• In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.
• Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the App, including product liability claims, consumer protection claims, intellectual property infringement claims, or any claim under applicable law.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and have the right to enforce these Terms against you.

17. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the App after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the App.

18. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
