Terms of Use

Last updated: March 22, 2026

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 — an intelligent video analysis and editing tool designed for practical shooting sports (IPSC, USPSA, IDPA, and similar disciplines). The App uses FFT-based audio signal processing to detect timer beeps and gunshot events, enabling automatic video trimming, multi-angle synchronization, subtitle overlay, and video 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

ShootingCut provides the following core features:

• Audio Analysis: FFT-based detection of electronic timer beeps (2500–3500 Hz) and gunshot pulses in your imported videos.
• Auto Trim: Automatic video trimming based on detected timer and last-shot timestamps.
• Merge: Linear concatenation of multiple video clips into a single video.
• Split Sync: Timer-synchronized dual-angle split-screen video composition.
• Stage Mix: Multi-camera intelligent scene selection and automatic editing based on shooting/movement phases.
• Subtitle Overlay: Real-time performance statistics (shot times, splits, total time) overlaid as subtitles on exported video.
• Person / Subject Tracking: Optional on-device AI-powered tracking that keeps a selected subject centered in the frame during export. All processing is performed locally using Apple's Vision framework; no video data or tracking results are transmitted off your device.
• iCloud Session Sync: Session names and lightweight metadata are optionally synced across your own Apple devices via iCloud Key-Value Storage. Video files are never synced through this mechanism.
• Social Sharing: Optional upload of exported videos to TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook (requires separate authorization).

Features may vary between platforms (iOS, iPadOS, macOS) and may change or be discontinued at any time. Premium features may require a subscription or one-time in-app purchase.

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. All processing (audio analysis, video editing, subtitle rendering, person tracking) is performed locally on your device. Your Content is never uploaded to our servers.

Photo Library & iCloud Photos: On iOS and iPadOS, the App accesses your photo library to import and export videos. If a video you select is stored in iCloud Photos and has not yet been downloaded to your device, the operating system will download it on demand for local processing. The App does not independently control or initiate iCloud downloads; this is managed by Apple's Photos framework. Importing iCloud-stored videos may consume mobile data if you are not on Wi-Fi.

macOS File Access & iCloud Drive: On macOS, the App accesses video files from locations you choose, which may include iCloud Drive folders. Files are read and processed locally. The App does not upload files to iCloud or any other cloud service.

By using the App's optional social sharing features, you authorize the App to upload your exported videos to the selected social platform on your behalf, subject to that platform's terms of service.

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 may offer premium features accessible via in-app purchases or auto-renewing subscriptions. All transactions are processed through Apple's App Store and are subject to Apple's Terms of Sale and refund policies.

• 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

The App integrates with third-party platforms (TikTok, YouTube, Facebook) for optional video sharing. Your use of these integrations is subject to the respective platform's terms of service and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the content, practices, or policies of any third-party platform.

In-app purchases are managed by RevenueCat. By making purchases, you also agree to RevenueCat's terms of service.

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.
