Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the So Far iOS app and any related services we provide (collectively, the "Service"). By installing, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, a parent or legal guardian must agree to these Terms on your behalf.

2. Your device and install

So Far does not require an in-app account. Access to quotas and subscriptions may be tied to your app install, device, and Apple StoreKit entitlement. Keep your device and Apple ID secure. Notify us promptly at [email protected] if you believe your access has been compromised.

3. License to use the Service

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the So Far app on Apple devices that you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use.

4. Subscriptions and free tier

• So Far is free to start. The free tier includes a limited number of recap generations per calendar month (currently three). Quotas may change with notice.
• Paid subscriptions are sold through Apple's App Store and billed through your Apple ID. Pricing, duration, and renewal cadence are shown in the app at the point of purchase.
• Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. Cancel anytime in iOS Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
• Refunds are handled by Apple under their standard policies; we do not process refunds directly.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the app, except as permitted by applicable law.
• Bypass, disable, or interfere with quota enforcement or other security features.
• Use automated means (bots, scripts, scrapers) to access the Service.
• Resell, sublicense, or commercially redistribute the Service or content generated through it.
• Use the Service to violate intellectual property rights or applicable law.

6. AI-generated content

Recaps are generated by an AI model from subtitle text and metadata. They may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies, and they may differ from the original work. Treat them as a summary aid, not as authoritative. You should not rely on a recap as a source of truth about a movie or show.

To the extent any rights arise in the recap text itself, we license the generated recap to you for your personal use through the Service. The underlying movies, shows, subtitles, and metadata remain the property of their respective rights holders.

7. Third-party content and services

The Service draws on third-party providers including TMDB, OpenAI, SubDL, OpenSubtitles, Cloudflare, and Apple. We are not responsible for the content, availability, or practices of these providers. Their respective terms and privacy policies apply to their services.

This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB. Movie and TV poster artwork is provided by TMDB.

8. User-submitted content

When you submit feedback, ratings, or other content through the Service, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use that content for the purpose of operating and improving the Service. You represent that you have the rights to submit it.

9. Intellectual property

The Service — including the app's design, code, branding, and original content — is owned by us and protected by intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership to you.

10. Disclaimers

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that recaps will be accurate, complete, or spoiler-free in every case, that the Service will be uninterrupted, or that errors will be corrected.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will we be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of the Service. Our aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) US$50.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your use of the Service in violation of these Terms or applicable law.

13. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time and remove local app data from your device. We may suspend, limit, or terminate access from an install or device if you violate these Terms, interfere with security or quota enforcement, or if we discontinue the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

14. Governing law

[Placeholder — confirm with counsel.] These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [State], United States, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes will be resolved exclusively in the state and federal courts located in [County, State], and you consent to that jurisdiction.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms over time. The "Effective" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be surfaced in the app or by an in-app notice. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
