Terms and Conditions

Provider and Scope

Fileika is provided by Vasily Pronin, an individual developer based in Israel (“Fileika”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). These Terms govern your use of the Fileika app, account, cloud synchronization, shared pattern links, subscriptions, and related services.

By downloading, accessing, or using Fileika, you agree to these Terms. Information about how personal data is handled is provided separately in the Privacy Policy.

You must be legally able to enter into these Terms. If you use Fileika for another person or organization, you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms for them.

iOS App License

These Terms do not replace the license for the iOS app. Your license to download and use the Fileika app is governed by Apple's applicable App Store terms and the Apple Standard End User License Agreement.

Fileika Intellectual Property

Fileika, including its software, design, branding, bundled templates, and related content, is owned by Fileika or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Except for the limited app license granted under Apple's terms, these Terms do not transfer any Fileika intellectual-property rights to you. User-created content remains governed by the “Projects and Your Content” section below.

You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, redistribute, sell, sublicense, or commercially exploit Fileika except as permitted by Apple's terms or where applicable law expressly allows it.

Account and Cloud Sync

The current version of Fileika requires Sign in with Apple. Authentication is handled through Supabase. You are responsible for securing access to your Apple account, device, and Fileika account and for activity performed through them. If you believe your Fileika account has been accessed without authorization, contact us promptly.

Eligible subscriptions include cloud synchronization. When sync is available, project data, attached project photos, and eligible account settings such as your default crochet hand may be stored in Supabase and synchronized across devices. Without an eligible subscription, changes to this private account data remain local and are not uploaded to or downloaded from Supabase. Sync depends on network availability and third-party services and may not be immediate.

Fileika may still contact Supabase without an eligible subscription when needed for authentication, account maintenance, public sharing, or deletion and cleanup of previously synchronized data.

Signing out does not delete your Fileika account, local projects, cloud projects, shared links, or App Store subscription. You may delete your Fileika account in the app after authenticating again with Apple. Account deletion does not cancel an App Store subscription.

Projects and Your Content

You retain ownership of project names, patterns, and photos you create or add to Fileika. Fileika does not claim ownership of your content beyond the limited license granted in this section.

You grant Fileika a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license, with the right to use service providers, to host, store, copy, transmit, synchronize, resize, encode, reproduce, and display your content solely as technically necessary to provide, secure, maintain, and support the features you use. This license ends when the content is deleted, except for temporary backup copies and copies retained where legally required.

You are solely responsible for your content and the consequences of creating, storing, using, or sharing it. You represent that you own the content or have every permission needed to use it in Fileika, and that it does not violate law or anyone else's copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, confidentiality, or other rights.

Fileika does not endorse, review, verify, or guarantee user-created patterns, instructions, project names, or photos and has no general duty to monitor them. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Fileika is not responsible for user content, errors or omissions in it, or loss, damage, or disputes resulting from it.

Shared Pattern Links

Creating a shared link makes selected content from the source project public to anyone with the link. The public page may show the project's current name, pattern, dimensions, optional elapsed time, generated preview, and attached photo. Because the link is connected to the source project rather than a separate snapshot, later project changes may change the public page.

Creating, opening, and revoking shared links does not require an active Fileika subscription. Importing a shared pattern creates a new local project and may require an eligible subscription under the project-creation limits shown in the app.

Recipients may be technically able to view, copy, save, redistribute, or import the pattern. Messaging services, search services, and preview bots may also request the page and images. Fileika does not control copies made or distributed by third parties. Revoking or deleting a link prevents future access through Fileika but cannot retrieve copies already made by others.

The imported project does not include your project progress, attached photo, crochet hand, or starting corner. Only share content that you have the right to share and are comfortable making public.

Acceptable Use

You may not use Fileika to create, store, or share content or to engage in conduct that:

• is unlawful, fraudulent, threatening, harassing, defamatory, or exploitative;
• infringes intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, confidentiality, or other rights;
• contains sexual exploitation of minors, malware, or instructions intended to compromise a service or device;
• impersonates another person, exposes personal information without permission, or misrepresents ownership or origin; or
• interferes with Fileika, bypasses access or subscription controls, or places an unreasonable load on the service.

We may, but are not required to, investigate complaints and restrict or remove content, shared links, or accounts when reasonably necessary to address these Terms, legal requests, security, abuse, or harm to Fileika or others. Report content or intellectual-property concerns to fileika.app@gmail.com with enough information to identify the content and the rights involved.

Subscriptions and Purchases

Fileika offers auto-renewable subscriptions through the App Store. The price, billing period, trial terms, and features included in an offer are shown before purchase. Apple processes payment and controls billing, renewal, cancellation, and refund handling under its terms and policies.

An eligible subscription is required to synchronize private project data, attached project photos, and eligible account settings through Supabase. Public shared-link features and deletion of previously synchronized data do not require an active subscription.

You can manage or cancel a subscription through your Apple account settings and restore an eligible purchase in Fileika. Deleting the app, signing out, or deleting a Fileika account does not cancel the subscription.

The features included in a subscription are those described in the purchase screen. We may change the price or contents of future offers. Any change affecting an active subscription will be handled in accordance with App Store requirements and applicable law.

Service Availability and Data

Local project data remains on your device unless you delete it or remove the app's data. Cloud sync and shared links depend on network access and services operated by Supabase and Cloudflare. Subscription status depends on Apple and RevenueCat. These online features may sometimes be delayed or unavailable.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature or service. Where a change affects an active paid subscription, it will be handled in accordance with applicable law and App Store requirements. Nothing in this section limits mandatory consumer rights.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Fileika is not responsible for delay, interruption, or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including network failures, third-party service outages, governmental actions, natural events, or failures of Apple services.

Fileika is not a substitute for a separate backup of content that is important to you. You are responsible for maintaining independent copies of content you do not want to lose. Nothing in these Terms limits rights or remedies that cannot be limited under applicable law.

Third-Party Services

Fileika relies on Apple, Supabase, Google Firebase, RevenueCat, Cloudflare, and their infrastructure. Their services and any external links are governed by their own terms and policies. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Fileika is not responsible for the availability, independent decisions, terms, or content of third-party services. Nothing in this section limits obligations that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Fileika and its services are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, uninterrupted availability, or freedom from errors or data loss. We do not warrant that synchronization, estimates, patterns, previews, imports, or third-party services will always be accurate, complete, secure, or available.

Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Fileika will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, goodwill, opportunities, subscriptions, content, or data, arising from Fileika, user content, public links, or third-party services, even if advised that such damage is possible.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Fileika's total liability for all claims relating to the service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid for Fileika during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim or US $50. These limits do not apply where liability cannot legally be limited, including liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, or personal injury caused by negligence where applicable law so provides.

Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold Fileika harmless from third-party claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable legal costs arising from your content, your public sharing, your violation of another person's rights, or your material breach of these Terms. This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from Fileika's own unlawful conduct.

Suspension and Termination

You may stop using Fileika or delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access to online services when reasonably necessary because of a material or repeated breach, legal requirement, security risk, abuse, non-payment, or discontinuation of a service. We may take immediate action without prior notice where reasonably necessary to protect Fileika, its users, third parties, or the service.

Provisions that by their nature should survive termination, including ownership, responsibility for content, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, and dispute terms, will survive.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Israel, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Courts with competent jurisdiction in Israel will have jurisdiction, except that mandatory consumer law may give you rights or allow proceedings in another jurisdiction.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms when Fileika's services or legal requirements change. The updated Terms apply from the “Last updated” date shown above. Where permitted by law, continuing to use Fileika after that date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. We will provide any additional notice or obtain consent where required by applicable law. Changes do not apply retroactively unless the law requires or permits it.

General

If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, that part will be applied to the greatest extent permitted by law and the remaining parts will continue in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These Terms and the applicable Apple app license form the entire agreement regarding your use of Fileika, except for rights and obligations that apply under mandatory law.
