ClayCray Terms & Conditions

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and the operator of ClayCray (“ClayCray,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing the ClayCray mobile application, related support, and any features that link to these Terms.

By tapping to enter the studio, downloading, accessing, or using ClayCray, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the app. App-store terms also apply, and the store terms control only to the extent they conflict on store-managed matters.

You must be at least 13 years old to use ClayCray. If you are below the age of legal majority where you live, a parent or legal guardian must review and agree to these Terms for you. You represent that you may lawfully use the app and are not barred from receiving it under applicable trade or sanctions laws.

ClayCray is a local-first studio journal and reference tool for recording ceramic pieces, glazes, combinations, measurements, photos, and progress. The current version does not create a ClayCray user account or sync studio records to a ClayCray server. Subscription status is verified through RevenueCat and your app store.

Features may differ by platform, device, region, subscription state, or app version. Internet access is required for store purchases, restoration, and periodic subscription verification, while the studio database is designed for local use.

Subject to these Terms, ClayCray grants you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the app on devices you own or control for personal or internal studio purposes, subject to the app store’s usage rules.

You may not copy or redistribute the app except as permitted by law or store rules; rent, lease, sell, sublicense, or commercially exploit access to it; reverse engineer, decompile, or bypass technical protections except where law expressly permits; interfere with security or operation; use the app unlawfully; or misrepresent your entitlement to paid features.

You retain ownership of glaze formulas, recipes, photographs, notes, measurements, and other studio content you enter or import. These Terms do not transfer ownership of that content to ClayCray. You give the app permission to process it on your device solely to provide features you request and, when you direct a share or backup, to create the requested copy.

You are responsible for your content, its accuracy, and having the rights and permissions needed to store, copy, or share it. Do not use ClayCray to infringe intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, or other rights, or to store unlawful content.

Your studio database and ClayCray-managed photos are stored on your device. Device loss, hardware failure, uninstalling the app, or clearing app storage may permanently delete them. ClayCray does not promise cloud recovery and is not responsible for loss that a current, usable backup could reasonably have prevented.

All users can export and import JSON backups through Settings → Backups. Backups can contain all studio records and embedded photos. You are responsible for testing, securing, and retaining them and for the privacy terms of any Files, cloud, email, or other destination you choose. Import replaces the current studio after confirmation. Imports may contain more than five pieces; on Free, saving changes to those pieces is unavailable until you reduce the collection to five or subscribe. Erase studio removes app-managed studio records and photos but not exported files, system photo-library copies, store records, provider-side data, or local preferences.

ClayCray starts on a permanent Free tier with up to five saved pieces per local studio, including archived pieces. Free access has no time limit, requires no payment information, and never converts automatically into a paid subscription. Glazes, combinations, settings, tools, and backup import and export are included.

On Free, you can save piece changes while your studio contains five or fewer and add or duplicate pieces only within the five-piece allowance. If your studio contains more than five pieces, adding, duplicating, and saving piece changes are unavailable, including changes to photos, favorites, stages, and archive status. You can make unsaved changes in the editor, but Save remains blocked. Viewing, deletion, backups, and other studio features remain available. Deleting down to five restores saving; deleting below five also makes room for additions. Archiving does not free capacity.

ClayCray offers monthly and annual auto-renewing subscriptions for unlimited pieces. Available plans, localized prices, billing period, taxes, and any store offer are shown before purchase and may vary by country or platform. Your Apple App Store or Google Play account is charged when you confirm the purchase.

A subscription renews automatically for the same billing period unless you cancel through your app-store subscription settings before the store’s renewal deadline. The store may notify you of price changes and request consent where required. Apple or Google, not ClayCray, processes payment credentials and controls billing, renewal timing, tax handling, and store transaction records.

You can manage or cancel your subscription from the Subscription screen or directly in your Apple App Store or Google Play account. Deleting ClayCray does not cancel a subscription. Cancellation normally stops the next renewal; paid access continues through the current paid period unless the store or applicable law provides otherwise.

Payments are generally non-refundable except where required by law or allowed by the store. Request refunds from the store that processed the purchase. Statutory cancellation, refund, and consumer-guarantee rights that cannot lawfully be waived remain unaffected.

When paid access ends, the Free tier rules in Section 7 apply. Existing pieces, glazes, and photos remain on your device. If you have more than five pieces, subscribe again or delete pieces until five remain to resume saving piece changes. You can always view and delete records, import and export backups, and erase the entire studio.

ClayCray may require a brief internet connection to verify prior paid access. You can restore eligible purchases through the app. Restoration and use on another device depend on the app store, RevenueCat’s anonymous entitlement handling, and the store account used for purchase. Studio records do not sync; moving them requires a backup transfer, which is available on Free.

Camera, photo-library, document-picker, share-sheet, and gallery-save features depend on device permissions and operating-system services. You may decline permissions, but related features may be unavailable. Camera photos confirmed in the app may also be copied to the system photo library, and ClayCray cannot delete or control copies held there or by a destination you select.

Ceramics involves heat, electricity or fuel, dust, chemicals, sharp materials, pressure, and unpredictable physical and chemical reactions. ClayCray is a recordkeeping and calculation aid, not professional engineering, kiln-operation, occupational-safety, chemical, medical, or legal advice. Cone references, shrinkage results, measurements, glaze stability labels, recipes, combinations, and firing information may be incomplete, estimated, entered incorrectly, or unsuitable for your materials and equipment.

Independently verify all information. Follow clay, glaze, chemical, tool, and kiln manufacturer instructions; safety data sheets; studio rules; ventilation, protective-equipment, food-safety, and disposal requirements; and applicable laws. Use test tiles and appropriate kiln furniture, never rely on the app to control a firing, and obtain qualified advice where needed. You assume the risks of studio and firing decisions.

You must not misuse the app, attempt to gain unauthorized access to subscription or diagnostic systems, introduce malware, disrupt store or provider services, use automated means to burden the service, violate export-control or sanctions rules, or use ClayCray in a way that harms others or violates law. We may restrict access where reasonably necessary to protect the app, providers, users, or legal compliance.

The app, software, design, branding, bundled catalog and reference presentation, documentation, and all related intellectual property other than your content belong to ClayCray or its licensors. No rights are granted except the limited license in these Terms. Third-party names and marks belong to their owners.

If you send suggestions or feedback, you allow ClayCray to use them without restriction or compensation, but this does not give us ownership of your studio content or confidential information clearly identified as such.

ClayCray relies on Apple App Store or Google Play, RevenueCat, Sentry, operating-system services, and destinations you choose for sharing. Their availability and separate terms or privacy policies may affect the app. ClayCray is not responsible for a third party’s independent service, content, account decisions, or handling of data outside our control, but remains responsible where applicable law makes us responsible for a processor acting on our behalf.

We may fix, update, add, remove, or discontinue features and may require an update for security, compatibility, store compliance, or continued operation. We do not guarantee that every feature or provider will always be available, that the app will be error-free, or that it will remain compatible with every device or operating-system version.

You may stop using the app at any time and should export any available backup before uninstalling. We may suspend or terminate your license for a material or repeated breach, unlawful use, fraud, or a security threat, after notice and an opportunity to remedy where required. Subscription cancellation and refunds remain governed by Section 9 and mandatory law. Provisions that by nature should survive termination do so, including ownership, disclaimers, liability, and disputes.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ClayCray is provided “as is” and “as available.” We disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, availability, non-infringement, data preservation, and results. We do not warrant a glaze outcome, firing result, food safety, calculation, backup, store service, or uninterrupted operation.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits a statutory warranty, consumer guarantee, remedy, or other right that applicable law does not allow us to exclude or limit. Where a warranty cannot be disclaimed, it applies only for the minimum period and scope required by law.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ClayCray and its licensors will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential loss; loss of data, recipes, work, profit, revenue, goodwill, or opportunity; or damage to pottery, glazes, kilns, shelves, studios, devices, or other property arising from use of or inability to use the app. Where liability may lawfully be limited, aggregate liability will not exceed the amount you paid for ClayCray during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.

These limits do not apply to fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence where it cannot be limited, death or personal injury caused by negligence, breach of non-waivable data-protection duties, or any other liability or consumer remedy that law does not permit us to exclude or limit.

These Terms are governed by Swedish law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If you are a consumer, this choice does not deprive you of mandatory protections of the country where you habitually live, and you may bring a claim in any court available under mandatory consumer law. Otherwise, the courts of Sweden have exclusive jurisdiction.

Before filing a claim, please email hello@claycray.app with a description of the dispute so we can try to resolve it informally. This does not restrict urgent injunctive relief, a statutory complaint, a chargeback or store remedy, or any right that cannot be waived.

If you obtained ClayCray through Apple, you and ClayCray acknowledge that these Terms are between you and ClayCray, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content and has no obligation to provide maintenance or support. The license is limited to use on Apple-branded products you own or control as permitted by the App Store Usage Rules, including eligible Family Sharing or volume-purchase use.

To the extent any warranty applies and ClayCray fails to conform to it, you may notify Apple and Apple may refund the app purchase price, if any; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation. ClayCray, not Apple, is responsible for addressing claims relating to the app, including product-liability, legal-compliance, consumer-protection, and intellectual-property claims, subject to these Terms and applicable law.

You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a United States government embargo or designated as supporting terrorism and are not listed on a United States government prohibited or restricted-party list. You must comply with applicable third-party terms. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you upon your acceptance.

We may update these Terms for legal, security, provider, or product changes. We will post the revised date and give additional notice when required. Material changes will apply prospectively, and we will request renewed acceptance where law requires it. If you do not agree to revised Terms, stop using the app and cancel any subscription before renewal.

If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the rest remains effective. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them as part of a reorganization, financing, or transfer of the app, subject to applicable notice and consumer rights. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement about the app except for store terms and rights that cannot be waived.
