These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Label Mate mobile application ("the app") developed by Joey Liechty ("we", "us"). By using the app, you agree to these Terms.

3. Subscriptions and Payments

Free Tier

The app offers limited free functionality, including a daily scan budget and access to matrix/etching lookup.

Free Trial

A 7-day free trial may be available to new users. The trial provides full access to Pro features with no credit card required. Each device is eligible for one free trial.

Pro Subscription

Pro subscriptions are available on a monthly or annual basis. Subscriptions are processed and managed by Apple through the App Store. By subscribing, you also agree to Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement.

• Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase

• Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period
• You can manage and cancel subscriptions in your Apple ID account settings

Price Changes

We may change subscription pricing at any time. Price changes take effect at the start of the next subscription period following the date of the price change. Your continued use after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new price.

You agree not to:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the app
• Use the app to violate any applicable law or regulation
• Attempt to circumvent subscription or scan limits through technical manipulation

Third-Party Content

Music metadata, pricing data, and album information are sourced from third parties including Discogs and are subject to their respective terms. Music playback is provided through Apple Music and is subject to Apple's terms.

Your Content

If you enable "Help improve the database," you grant us a perpetual, royalty-free license to use your anonymous contributions (barcode mappings and video match data) to improve the service for all users.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APP, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR PURCHASING DECISIONS MADE BASED ON PRICING DATA DISPLAYED IN THE APP.

Our total liability for any claim arising from or related to the app shall not exceed the amount you paid for the app in the 12 months preceding the claim.

9. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

10. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the app's cloud services if you violate these Terms. You may stop using the app at any time by deleting it from your device.
