ArtsApp: Arts & Live Paintings — Terms of Use (End User Licence Agreement)

Effective date: 24 August 2026 Last updated: 24 August 2026

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and the developer of the ArtsApp: Arts & Live Paintings application for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, including its widgets (the “App”). Please read §17 as well — Apple requires it, and it tells you what Apple is and is not responsible for.

1. Who you are contracting with

Referred to below as “we”, “us” or the “Developer”. “You” is the person who downloaded the App.

2. Acceptance

By downloading, installing or using the App you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the App and delete it from your device.

The App carries a 13+ age rating on the App Store, because it reproduces classical works that include nudity in an artistic context and because its own illustrations depict wine and drinking. You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. If you are responsible for a device used by someone younger, Apple’s Screen Time and Content Restrictions are the tools that enforce the rating.

3. What the App is

The App is an offline encyclopaedia of fine art: biographies of artists, descriptions of paintings, art movements and museum collections, a “painting of the day” reminder, widgets, an Apple Watch companion and animated illustrations. All content ships inside the App and works without an internet connection.

Two features do reach the network. Buying or restoring a subscription needs Apple’s services, and the binoculars button opens Apple Maps Look Around to show the surroundings of a museum or an artist’s home. The App never asks for or reads your location: the coordinates it sends are those of the landmark, stored inside the App and identical for every user.

The App is an educational and reference product. Descriptions, dates, attributions, dimensions and museum locations are compiled from art-historical sources and may contain errors, simplifications or outdated attributions. Do not rely on the App as the sole source for academic work, valuation, authentication, provenance research or any commercial decision.

4. Licence

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, for your own private, non-commercial purposes, in accordance with the Usage Rules of Apple’s Media Services Terms and Conditions — including their provisions on Family Sharing and on the number of devices associated with your Apple Account.

We do not sell you the App or its content; we license it. Every right not expressly granted here stays with us or with our licensors.

5. What you must not do

You may not:

1. copy, extract, scrape, bulk-download or otherwise harvest the App’s texts, images, videos or data files, whether manually or by automated means;
2. republish, distribute, sell, sublicense, rent or make the App’s content available as part of another product, dataset, model training corpus, website or service;
3. reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the App, or attempt to derive its source code, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits this despite this restriction;
4. circumvent, disable or interfere with any technical measure that limits access to paid content, or use a modified, jailbroken or otherwise tampered copy of the App to obtain paid features without paying;
5. remove or obscure any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notice;
6. use the App in a way that breaks applicable law or infringes anyone’s rights.

6. Intellectual property and third-party works

Ours: the App itself — its software, interface, design, icons, original descriptive texts, compilation, selection and arrangement of the content, and the ArtsApp: Arts & Live Paintings name — is owned by us or licensed to us and is protected by copyright and other laws.

Not ours: the underlying works of art. Most works reproduced in the App are old masters whose copyright has expired and which are in the public domain, and museum attributions are given for reference and educational purposes. We claim no ownership of any depicted artwork and no affiliation with, endorsement by, or sponsorship from any museum, foundation, estate or rights holder named in the App. Museum names and collection names are used descriptively to identify where a work is held.

Copyright complaints. If you are a rights holder — or their authorised representative — and you believe that content in the App infringes your rights, write to antonr8.apps@outlook.com with: identification of the work, where it appears in the App, your contact details, and a statement of your rights in it. We take such notices seriously, and content that we cannot show lawfully is removed in the next update.

7. Subscriptions, prices and payment

Free and paid content. Part of the App is free. Full access to the whole collection is unlocked by a paid subscription, offered in three auto-renewable periods: weekly, monthly and annual. No free trial is currently offered; if we introduce one, the terms below on trials will apply.

The seller is Apple. Subscriptions are sold as auto-renewable in-app purchases through the App Store. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. We never receive or store your payment details.

Auto-renewal. A subscription renews automatically for the same period unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Apple charges the renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. This continues until you cancel.

Managing and cancelling. Manage or cancel at any time in iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions, or in the App Store app. Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period already paid for; you keep access until then.

Free trials, where offered. If a subscription includes a free trial, any unused part of it is forfeited when you buy the subscription. Cancel before the trial ends to avoid being charged.

Prices. The price, currency, billing period and any introductory offer that apply to you are the ones shown on the purchase screen and on the App Store product page for your storefront at the moment of purchase; those figures prevail over any price mentioned anywhere else. Prices differ between storefronts, include applicable taxes where required, and may change for future periods — Apple notifies you in advance and asks for your consent where the law requires it.

Refunds are handled by Apple under the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, not by us; request one at https://reportaproblem.apple.com. We have no technical ability to issue, block or reverse an App Store refund. This does not affect any statutory right of withdrawal or refund you may have as a consumer in your country.

Restoring purchases. Use “Restore” on the purchase screen to reactivate a subscription on a new device or after reinstalling, with the same Apple Account used for the purchase.

8. Changes to the App and its content

We may update the App, add or remove content, change which parts are free and which require a subscription, or discontinue features. We will not deliberately degrade what you already paid for: if we materially reduce the paid functionality during a period you have paid for, you may cancel your subscription, and any refund of the unused part is requested from Apple as described in §7.

We may also stop supporting older iOS versions or discontinue the App entirely. If the App is discontinued, we will not renew subscriptions beyond the periods already paid for.

9. Availability

The App’s content works offline. Purchases require a working internet connection and available Apple services, and Look Around requires both a connection and Apple’s coverage of the place in question — that coverage is Apple’s, not ours, and it does not exist everywhere. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability of the App Store, of Apple’s purchase infrastructure, of Apple Maps, or of our subscription provider.

10. Third-party services

Purchases are processed by Apple and validated through Adapty (https://adapty.io). No advertising is displayed inside the App. Look Around imagery is provided by Apple Maps.

Handling of personal data by all of these is described in our Privacy Policy. Your relationship with Apple is governed by Apple’s own terms, which you accepted separately.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy of content, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that its art-historical information is complete or accurate.

If you are a consumer, nothing in this section removes the mandatory warranties and remedies given to you by the law of your country of residence — including, in the EEA and the UK, rights concerning digital content that is not as described or not of satisfactory quality.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

• we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of profit, data, goodwill or opportunity, arising out of or in connection with the App;
• our total aggregate liability for all claims arising in any twelve-month period is limited to the amount you actually paid for the App and its subscriptions in that period.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded under the law that applies to you as a consumer.

13. Termination

The licence in §4 ends automatically if you materially breach these Terms. You may end it at any time by deleting the App. Sections 5, 6, 11, 12, 14 and 16 survive termination. Termination does not entitle you to a refund except where the law or Apple’s terms provide one.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms — for example when features, prices models or legal requirements change. The updated version takes effect when published, with the date at the top changed. For material changes we will show a notice in the App or in the App Store release notes. If you do not accept the new version, stop using the App and cancel your subscription; changes never apply retroactively to a subscription period you have already paid for.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Armenia, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Disputes are subject to the courts of the Republic of Armenia at the place of our registration.

If you are a consumer in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland or another jurisdiction with mandatory consumer-protection rules, this choice does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of your place of residence. EU consumers may also use the European Commission’s online dispute resolution platform, where available.

16. General

• Severability. If a provision is held invalid, the rest stays in force.
• No waiver. Not enforcing a provision does not waive it.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them as part of a transfer of the App, without reducing your rights.
• Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the App.
• Language. These Terms are written in English. A translation, if any, is provided for convenience; the English text prevails, except where the law of your country requires otherwise.

17. Terms required by Apple

These provisions apply because the App is distributed through the App Store. Where they conflict with anything above, they prevail.

1. The agreement is with us, not Apple. These Terms are concluded between you and the Developer only. Apple is not a party to them and is not responsible for the App or its content.
2. Scope of licence. The licence granted in §4 is limited to a non-transferable licence to use the App on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules of the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
3. Maintenance and support. The Developer is solely responsible for providing maintenance and support for the App. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services.
4. Warranty. The Developer is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent they are not effectively disclaimed. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the App to you (where applicable); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App.
5. Product claims. The Developer, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App or your use of it, including product liability claims, any claim that the App fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy or similar legislation.
6. Intellectual property claims. In the event of a third-party claim that the App or your use of it infringes that party’s intellectual property rights, the Developer, not Apple, is solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of that claim.
7. Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
8. Developer contact. Questions, complaints and claims about the App go to antonr8.apps@outlook.com, or by post to the address in §1.
9. Third-party terms. You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App.
10. Third-party beneficiary. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, have the right to enforce them against you as such.
