Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) cover your use of the Screentake website and your Screentake Pro subscription, provided by Bitzag LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”).

The Screentake app itself is licensed to you under Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “EULA”), which governs the app licence and its warranties. These Terms do not replace it. Where the two overlap for the app, the EULA governs.

The short version: Screentake runs entirely on your Mac. We host nothing, receive nothing and cannot see your recordings. Apple bills the subscription and handles refunds. Everything below is the long form of that.

By using our website or subscribing to Screentake Pro, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use them. You must be at least 13 years old and able to enter into a binding contract. We retain all rights, title and interest in Screentake.

1. Screentake Pro and billing

Recording and editing are free and are not time-limited, feature-crippled or watermarked. One thing requires an active Screentake Pro subscription: exporting a finished video, including copying it to the clipboard.

Apple handles all payments, renewals, cancellations and refunds. We never see or process your payment details, and we cannot issue a refund on Apple’s behalf. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel, and you cancel or request a refund through your Apple Account settings in the App Store. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Your purchase is also subject to Apple’s Media Services Terms and Conditions.

If your subscription lapses, exporting stops. Nothing you have already made is affected — your projects, recordings and exported files stay exactly where they are, and the app goes on recording and editing as it did before. There is no lock-out and no hostage-taking of your work.

Prices may change. Screentake Pro is currently offered at a founding price, and we intend to raise the list price later. Where we do, Apple will not charge an existing subscriber an increased price without their consent, and we intend to preserve existing subscribers at the rate they signed up at for as long as their subscription remains active. We may also change which features require Pro; changes apply going forward, not retroactively.

2. Your content

You own everything you record, edit and export with Screentake. We claim no rights to it whatsoever, and we grant ourselves no licence to it, because we never receive it. There is no server, no upload and no sync. Your files are on your Mac and nowhere else.

You are responsible for what you record, and for having the right to record it — including the consent of anyone whose voice, likeness, screen or personal data appears in your recording, where the law of your jurisdiction requires it. Recording laws differ by country and by state, and some require the consent of every participant.

3. Acceptable use

Screentake runs locally and we cannot police what you do with it, nor do we want to. These restrictions therefore concern our website and our services. You agree not to:

• Interfere with, disrupt or attempt to gain unauthorised access to our website or servers
• Use the app to break the law, infringe anyone’s rights, or record anyone without a consent the law requires
• Circumvent, disable or tamper with the subscription check, or help anyone else do so
• Reverse-engineer, decompile or redistribute the app, except where that restriction is unenforceable under the law that applies to you
• Resell or redistribute Screentake as your own product

4. Availability, warranties and liability

Our website is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, and we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. We may modify, suspend or discontinue any part of it at any time. Warranties for the app itself are as set out in the EULA.

Keep your own backups. Your projects live on your Mac; we hold no copy and cannot restore anything for you.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Bitzag LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, including loss of data, recordings or profits, arising from Screentake or this website. Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid for Screentake Pro in the twelve (12) months before the claim arose, or fifty US dollars ($50), whichever is greater.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or the limitation of certain damages, so parts of the two paragraphs above may not apply to you. If you are a consumer, nothing in these Terms deprives you of the mandatory consumer-protection rights of the country in which you reside.

Support is provided on a best-effort basis at support@bitzag.com. We do not commit to a specific response time or resolution.

5. Termination

You may stop using Screentake at any time by cancelling Pro through Apple and deleting the app. Your projects remain yours and remain on your Mac; delete them yourself if you want them gone.

We may suspend your access to our website if you violate these Terms. We cannot revoke the app itself — that is between you and Apple under the EULA.

6. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Bitzag LLC and its officers, employees and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising from your use of Screentake or our website, from what you record, or from your violation of these Terms or the rights of any third party.

7. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. If you are a consumer resident outside the United States, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory laws of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings there where local law gives you that right.

Talk to us first. Before starting arbitration, send a written description of the dispute and the relief you want to support@bitzag.com and give us 30 days to resolve it. We will do the same before bringing a claim against you.

Arbitration. If we cannot resolve it, any dispute relating to these Terms shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration in Jefferson County, Kentucky, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, with fees allocated as those rules provide. The arbitrator may award the same individual relief a court could, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. Questions about the scope or enforceability of this section are for the arbitrator, except that a court decides whether the class-action waiver below is enforceable.

No class actions. You waive any right to participate in a class, consolidated or representative action. If that waiver is found unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim proceeds in court and the rest of this section still applies to every other claim.

Opting out. You may decline arbitration by emailing support@bitzag.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, with your name and a statement that you opt out. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.

Either party may still bring a qualifying claim in small claims court, and nothing here prevents either party from seeking injunctive relief to protect intellectual property.

8. Changes and general

We may update these Terms from time to time; material changes are reflected in the “Last updated” date above, and your continued use constitutes acceptance. We may send you notices through the app, this website, or the email address you use to contact us. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect, and our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. We may assign these Terms (for example, in a merger or sale of assets); you may not. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.

Screentake is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data. Sections 2, 4, 6, 7 and 8 survive termination. These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the entire agreement for your use of this website and your Screentake Pro subscription; your licence to the app remains governed by Apple’s EULA.
