ScamShot AI Terms of Use

ScamShot is an AI-powered scam-risk analysis service.

ScamShot may analyze content such as:

• Screenshots
• Photographs
• Text messages
• Emails
• Links and URLs
• QR codes
• Phone numbers
• Marketplace messages
• Social-media messages
• Letters
• Invoices
• Payment requests
• Other communications you choose to submit

ScamShot may provide:

• Risk classifications
• Scam-likelihood scores
• Scam categories
• Warning indicators
• Requested-action analysis
• Verification guidance
• Recommended next steps
• AI-generated explanations
• Follow-up assistance

ScamShot is intended to help users make more informed decisions about potentially suspicious communications.

No automated system can identify every scam, fraud attempt, phishing message, malicious website, impersonation attempt, or deceptive communication.

ScamShot does not guarantee that any:

• Message
• Person
• Company
• Website
• Phone number
• QR code
• Payment request
• Transaction
• Account
• Offer
• Communication

is safe, legitimate, fraudulent, malicious, or trustworthy.

A Low Risk result does not mean something has been verified as safe.

A High Risk result does not constitute a legal determination that fraud has occurred.

ScamShot provides informational risk assessments based on the information available at the time of analysis.

You remain responsible for your own decisions and actions.

ScamShot does not provide:

• Legal advice
• Financial advice
• Investment advice
• Tax advice
• Medical advice
• Law-enforcement advice
• Credit advice
• Insurance advice
• Professional cybersecurity consulting

Information provided through ScamShot is general informational guidance only.

You should seek qualified professional assistance where appropriate.

If you believe you have already:

• Sent money to a scammer
• Shared a password
• Shared financial information
• Shared a verification code
• Installed remote-access software
• Had an account compromised
• Been threatened
• Experienced identity theft
• Experienced unauthorized transactions

you should take appropriate immediate action through official channels.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include contacting:

• Your bank or card issuer
• The relevant online service
• A trusted cybersecurity professional
• Local law enforcement
• An appropriate fraud-reporting authority

Do not rely on ScamShot as the sole means of responding to an active fraud or cybersecurity incident.

You must be at least 13 years old to use ScamShot.

If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use ScamShot only with the permission of a parent or legal guardian where required by applicable law.

We may modify age requirements if certain features become subject to additional legal restrictions.

Some ScamShot features require an account.

You agree to:

• Provide accurate information
• Maintain the confidentiality of your credentials
• Use reasonable security measures
• Notify us if you suspect unauthorized account use
• Keep your contact information reasonably current

You are responsible for activity occurring through your account unless applicable law provides otherwise.

You may not:

• Share your account in ways that bypass subscription limits
• Sell or transfer your account
• Impersonate another person
• Create accounts for abusive or fraudulent purposes

ScamShot may support authentication through services such as:

• Apple
• Google
• Email/password authentication

Third-party authentication services operate under their own terms and privacy policies.

Your use of those services is also subject to the provider's applicable terms.

"User Content" means information you submit to ScamShot, including:

• Images
• Screenshots
• Messages
• URLs
• Documents
• Questions
• Family messages
• Scam reports
• Other submitted materials

You retain your ownership rights in User Content.

By submitting User Content, you grant ScamShot a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to:

• Process it
• Store it where required
• Analyze it
• Display it back to you
• Share it with users you explicitly authorize
• Use it to operate the Services
• Generate risk assessments
• Improve fraud-detection functionality
• Derive de-identified or aggregated threat indicators

This license exists only to the extent reasonably necessary to provide, secure, operate, improve, and support the Services.

You are responsible for the content you submit.

You represent that you have the right to submit the content or otherwise have a lawful basis for doing so.

Do not intentionally submit:

• Material you have no lawful right to provide
• Unnecessary highly sensitive information
• Illegal content
• Malware
• Content intended to attack ScamShot infrastructure
• Content intended to exploit other users
• Content designed primarily to manipulate or abuse the AI system

ScamShot may restrict or remove access where necessary to protect users or the Services.

ScamShot uses artificial intelligence to analyze User Content.

AI-generated results may:

• Be incomplete
• Be inaccurate
• Misclassify legitimate communications
• Fail to identify sophisticated scams
• Contain incorrect assumptions
• Miss contextual information

You should independently verify important requests using official contact information.

For example, if a message claims to be from a bank, government agency, delivery company, or other organization, do not rely solely on contact information provided in the suspicious message.

You may not use ScamShot to:

• Commit fraud
• Assist scams
• Develop phishing campaigns
• Improve malicious social-engineering content
• Harass or threaten others
• Circumvent security controls
• Attack ScamShot systems
• Probe or exploit vulnerabilities without authorization
• Automate abusive requests
• Bypass usage quotas
• Bypass subscriptions
• Scrape data at scale without permission
• Reverse engineer protected portions of the Services except where permitted by law
• Interfere with other users
• Upload malicious code
• Use ScamShot in violation of law

We may suspend or terminate accounts involved in abuse.

• Shared ScamShots
• Ask My Family
• Family help requests

Actual store pricing controls.

Paid plans may be marketed as allowing unlimited ScamShots.

To prevent abuse, fraud, automated misuse, or unreasonable infrastructure consumption, ScamShot may apply reasonable fair-use limits.

These limits are intended to affect abusive or unusually high-volume usage rather than ordinary personal use.

We may temporarily restrict or review accounts exhibiting automated, abusive, or excessive activity.

Subscriptions purchased through the mobile application are generally processed by:

• Apple App Store
• Google Play

Subscription-management technology may be provided through RevenueCat.

Payment, renewal, refund, cancellation, and billing rules may also be governed by the applicable app store.

You authorize the applicable platform to charge the payment method associated with your account.

Unless otherwise stated, paid subscriptions automatically renew until canceled.

Your subscription may renew for the same duration as your current subscription period.

To avoid renewal, you must cancel through the applicable app store before the renewal date in accordance with that store's requirements.

ScamShot does not control Apple or Google billing timing.

You can manage or cancel your subscription using the subscription-management tools provided by:

• Apple App Store
• Google Play

Deleting the ScamShot application does not cancel your subscription.

Deleting your ScamShot account also may not cancel a subscription billed through Apple or Google.

You are responsible for separately canceling the subscription through the applicable store if you no longer wish to be billed.

Refunds for purchases made through Apple or Google are generally handled under the applicable store's policies.

ScamShot may not have the ability to directly issue refunds for transactions processed by those platforms.

You may need to request a refund directly from Apple or Google.

Nothing in these Terms limits rights you may have under applicable consumer-protection law.

We may change subscription pricing in the future.

Where required, Apple, Google, or ScamShot may provide advance notice of applicable price changes.

Changes will not override rights provided by applicable law or app-store rules.

Family membership does not automatically provide access to another member's complete ScamShot history.

Scans are intended to remain private unless explicitly shared.

Users are responsible for choosing what they share with Family members.

If you share a ScamShot with another person, that person may be able to view the information you chose to share.

Do not share sensitive information with someone you do not trust.

ScamShot Family may allow discussion threads related to shared ScamShots.

These threads are intended for scam-related assistance, not as a general messaging platform.

You agree not to use Family messaging for:

• Harassment
• Threats
• Illegal activity
• Spam
• Abuse

We may restrict Family features where misuse occurs.

ScamShot may provide alerts about emerging scam campaigns.

These alerts may be based on:

• User reports
• Analyzed scam patterns
• Aggregated indicators
• Public threat information
• Internal detection logic

Scam campaigns change quickly.

ScamShot does not guarantee that alerts are complete, current, or applicable to every user.

ScamShot may allow users to report suspected scams.

Submitting a report to ScamShot does not necessarily report the scam to:

• Police
• Government agencies
• Financial institutions
• Regulators
• Telecommunications providers

If you wish to make an official report, you are responsible for using the appropriate official reporting channel.

ScamShot relies on third-party providers.

These may include:

• Supabase

• RevenueCat
• Apple
• Google
• Notification and infrastructure providers

We are not responsible for third-party services outside our reasonable control.

Your use of those services may be subject to additional terms.

ScamShot does not control those websites.

We are not responsible for:

• Third-party content
• Third-party privacy practices
• Availability

• Follow-up messages
• Family relationships

"AS IS"

and

"AS AVAILABLE."

ScamShot disclaims warranties, express or implied, including warranties of:

• Merchantability

We do not warrant that:

• Every scam will be detected
• Every warning will be accurate
• Every legitimate communication will be classified correctly

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

• Use of the Services
• Reliance on an analysis
• Scam losses
• Financial losses
• Account compromise
• Data loss
• Missed fraud indicators
• Incorrect risk classifications
• Third-party conduct

This limitation applies even if ScamShot has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ScamShot's total liability arising from the Services will not exceed the greater of:

• The amount you paid ScamShot during the 12 months immediately preceding the claim, or
• $100 USD

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ScamShot and its affiliates from claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from:

• Your unlawful use of the Services
• Your violation of these Terms
• Content you unlawfully submit
• Your infringement of another person's rights

This section may not apply where prohibited by law.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to waive rights that cannot legally be waived under applicable consumer-protection law.

If a mandatory law conflicts with these Terms, the mandatory law controls.

Before initiating formal legal proceedings, you agree to contact us and attempt to resolve the dispute informally.

Contact:

contact@scamshot.app

Include sufficient information for us to understand and investigate the issue.

We will attempt to resolve disputes in good faith.

Any arbitration provision, class-action waiver, venue clause, or other formal dispute-resolution mechanism should be added only after review by qualified legal counsel.

We may update these Terms from time to time.

If changes are material, we may provide notice through:

• The application
• Website
• Email
• Other reasonable means

Updated Terms will include a revised "Last Updated" date.

Continued use of ScamShot after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by applicable law.

These Terms, together with the ScamShot Privacy Policy and any additional terms presented for specific features, constitute the agreement between you and ScamShot regarding the Services.

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Failure by ScamShot to enforce a provision of these Terms does not waive our right to enforce it later.

You may not transfer your rights under these Terms without our consent.

ScamShot may transfer these Terms as part of:

• A merger
• Acquisition
• Corporate restructuring
• Sale of assets
• Similar business transaction

subject to applicable law.
