2. User Content
You are solely responsible for any content you create, upload, import, save, organize, transmit, or share through the app, including boards, images, text, links, notes, and other materials ("User Content").
You represent and warrant that:

3. Sharing and Shared Content
Boards and content are private by default unless you choose to share them.
If you share content, you acknowledge that recipients may be able to view, report, hide, block, save, import, or otherwise interact with that content depending on the features available in the app. Once content is shared, we may not be able to control or reverse how recipients access, save, import, copy, or further use that content.
You are solely responsible for deciding what content to share and with whom. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible or liable for any actions, omissions, use, misuse, saving, copying, importing, modification, redistribution, disclosure, or other handling of shared content by recipients, other users, or third parties after you choose to share such content. Once content has been shared, we may not be able to control, restrict, delete, retrieve, or prevent further access to or use of that content by recipients, other users, or third parties.
4. Prohibited Content and Conduct

5. Reporting, Blocking, and Moderation
We provide tools that may allow users to report objectionable content, hide or block shared content or users, and contact us regarding safety concerns.
We may review reported content and may take action where appropriate, including restricting, hiding, removing, disabling access to content, limiting sharing features, or blocking users.
We do not guarantee that all content will be reviewed before it is shared, viewed, or acted upon by other users. However, we reserve the right to moderate content and activity in order to protect users, comply with law, and maintain the integrity of the app and service.
We may preserve reports, moderation records, and related metadata as reasonably necessary to investigate misuse, enforce these Terms, comply with legal obligations, and protect users and the service.
6. Third-Party Services
The app may rely on or interoperate with third-party services, including cloud storage, platform services, device features, operating system functionality, analytics, external websites, or external links.
We are not responsible for third-party services, content, availability, security, or privacy practices. Your use of third-party services may be subject to their own terms and policies.
7. Data, Sync, and Availability
Some features may depend on iCloud, internet connectivity, device compatibility, operating system permissions, or other external services.
We do not guarantee that syncing, sharing, importing, storage, restoration, backup, or access to content will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.
You are responsible for maintaining your own backups of important content where appropriate.
8. Paid Features and Subscriptions
The app may offer optional paid features or subscription-based features, including ad-free boards, crop preview tools, and custom board covers.
Paid features may be purchased through Apple's in-app purchase system. Subscription terms, pricing, renewal, cancellation, and refund handling are managed by Apple and may be subject to Apple's terms and policies.
Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled in accordance with Apple's subscription management process. You are responsible for managing or canceling your subscription through your Apple ID settings.
Access to paid features may depend on your subscription status, device, operating system, internet connectivity, App Store availability, and other technical or platform-related conditions.
If your subscription cannot be verified, restored, or recognized due to Apple services, network conditions, device settings, account issues, or other external factors, access to paid features may be temporarily unavailable.
We may modify, add, remove, suspend, or discontinue paid features from time to time, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
We do not guarantee that any paid feature will be available at all times, uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with every device or configuration.
Refunds for purchases made through Apple's in-app purchase system are handled by Apple, except where otherwise required by applicable law.
9. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to all or part of the app, or to certain content or features, where we reasonably believe this is necessary to:
- enforce these Terms;
- protect users or third parties;
- comply with law, regulation, legal process, or platform requirements;
- prevent abuse, security issues, or harm to the service.
