Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and Stitious LLC ("Stitious," "we," "our," or "us") governing your access to and use of the Stitious SecretShare mobile application (the "App") and the website located at stitious.com (the "Site"), collectively referred to as the "Service."

By downloading, installing, or using the App, or by accessing the Site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Service.

Stitious SecretShare is an offline-first mobile application that implements a cryptographic technique that splits sensitive information (a "secret") into multiple fragments called "shares." A pre-defined minimum number of shares must be combined to reconstruct the original secret. No individual share reveals any information about the secret on its own.

The App operates entirely on your device. All cryptographic operations are performed locally; no secrets, shares, or user data are transmitted to or stored on servers operated by Stitious LLC. The Service is provided for personal and family digital-legacy planning purposes.

You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you must have the consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf.

You also represent that you are not prohibited from receiving services under the laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Stitious LLC grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the App on a device that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial purposes.

This license does not permit you to:

• close Sublicense, sell, resell, transfer, assign, or otherwise commercially exploit the App.
• close Modify, translate, adapt, or create derivative works based on the App.
• close Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the App, except as permitted by applicable law.
• close Remove or alter any proprietary notices or labels on the App.

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You are solely responsible for the content of any secrets, data, or information you store or process using the App.

You agree not to use the Service to:

• close Store, transmit, or process any information that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, or otherwise objectionable.
• close Violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law or regulation.
• close Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any entity.
• close Attempt to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service or breach any security or authentication measures.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, STITIOUS LLC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Stitious LLC does not warrant that the App will be error-free, secure, or uninterrupted, or that defects will be corrected. Cryptographic methods, while robust, are not infallible. You are solely responsible for maintaining secure backups of your shares and ensuring that trusted recipients can safeguard their shares.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL STITIOUS LLC, ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES — INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL — ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE.

IN JURISDICTIONS THAT DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, STITIOUS LLC'S LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. IN ALL OTHER CASES, STITIOUS LLC'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU SHALL NOT EXCEED FIFTY US DOLLARS ($50.00).

The Service and all of its original content, features, and functionality — including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, icons, software, and the compilation thereof — are and will remain the exclusive property of Stitious LLC and its licensors.

The Stitious and HeirLock names, logos, and related marks are trademarks of Stitious LLC. You may not use these marks without the prior written consent of Stitious LLC.

Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use the intellectual property of Stitious LLC beyond the limited license described in Section 4.

The App is distributed via the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Your download and use of the App through those platforms is also governed by the respective platform's terms and conditions. Stitious LLC is not responsible for the terms, policies, or practices of any third-party platforms or services.

The Site may contain links to third-party websites. Such links are provided for your convenience only. Stitious LLC has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites.

You may stop using the Service at any time by uninstalling the App from your device. Because we hold no account data for you, there is no formal account deletion process required.

Stitious LLC reserves the right to discontinue the Service or any portion thereof at any time, with or without notice. In the event of discontinuation, the local-only nature of the App means your existing data remains on your device and is unaffected by any server-side changes.

Sections 6 (No Warranty), 7 (Limitation of Liability), 8 (Intellectual Property), and 11 (Governing Law) shall survive any termination of these Terms.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, with proceedings conducted in English.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party's intellectual property rights.

Stitious LLC reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. When changes are made, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of material changes — such as posting a prominent notice on the Site or within the App.

Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must discontinue use of the Service.
