Welcome to Shwink. By creating an account or using the app you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the app.
1. Who Can Use Shwink
At least 13 years old. You confirm this when you create your account. Under 18 requires a parent/guardian's agreement.
2. Your Account
You're responsible for your account; keep your password secure; use accurate info; one account per person; no impersonation.
3. Your Content
You own your photos, Shwink Cards, and captions. By posting you grant Shwink a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store/display/distribute that content to other users as part of operating the app; the licence ends when you delete the content or your account. Don't post content that infringes IP, is abusive/threatening/harassing, contains nudity or graphic violence, spreads false info, violates privacy, or promotes illegal activity / self-harm / hate. Every photo is auto-scanned before publishing; reported violations may be removed; repeated violations lead to suspension or termination.
We may feature your public content in our marketing. We may use screenshots and screen recordings of the app to promote Shwink on our website, social media, app store pages, emails, and ads. These can show your public content: your display name, username, profile photo, public Shwink Cards, public posts and BTS photos, comments, and you appearing live in the Shoot Room or Edit Room. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use that content in this way. We never use your private content, such as your messages, venue or couple names you keep private, or anything else you haven't made public. Your health stats (steps, distance, heart rate, flights climbed, and calories) are never part of this: we blur or crop them out of any screenshot we use. Don't want to be featured? Email privacy@shwink.app. We'll stop using your content in new marketing and remove it from our own posts and ads within 30 days. Deleting your account does the same.
4. Acceptable Use
No spam/bots/automation, scraping, hacking/reverse-engineering, unsolicited messages, fake engagement, or impersonation.
5. Health Data & Safety
HealthKit/Google Health Connect data is used only for shoot stats. Not medical advice; Shwink is not a health/medical service. You work at your own risk; Shwink has no liability for injury or health events during your work.
6. Intellectual Property
The Shwink name, logo, brand, and app are owned by Sensego (Pty) Ltd. No copying, redistributing, or building competing products with our brand/code without written permission.
7. Reporting & Enforcement
Report rule-breaking content/users in-app; we aim to act within 24 hours (warn, remove, suspend, or terminate, and may block re-registration). You can also block users (they aren't notified).
8. Termination
You can delete your account anytime from Profile settings (removes your data immediately). We may suspend/terminate for violations or legal reasons, with notice where possible.
9. Disclaimer of Warranties
Provided "as is" / "as available"; no guarantee of error-free or uninterrupted service.
10. Limitation of Liability
No liability for indirect/incidental/consequential damages. Total liability capped at the greater of what you paid us in the prior 12 months or US$50.
11. Subscriptions
Shwink Pro is an auto-renewable subscription, available as a monthly plan (US$7.99/month) or an annual plan (US$69.99/year). Prices vary by region and are shown in the app before you buy. Both plans include a 14-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID (iOS) or Google Play account (Android) at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each period unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel anytime in your device account settings. Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms and will notify you in-app of significant changes.
