Cinder Terms of Use

About these terms

These Terms of Use govern your use of Cinder, provided by Pavel Larionov (“we”, “us”, or “our”). By downloading or using Cinder, you agree to these terms.

License and permitted use

Cinder is licensed, not sold. You may use it for lawful personal or professional media-processing and permitted download workflows on Apple devices associated with your App Store account, subject to Apple’s usage rules.

Your videos and files

You keep ownership of your videos and finished files. You are responsible for the links and content you submit and for having the rights and permissions needed to download, process, save, share, or delete that material. Check those rights before each use.

Compression changes the media file and may reduce visual or audio quality. Keep an original when the source matters. If you ask Cinder to replace or delete an original, that action may not be reversible.

Third-party services

Optional features may rely on Apple services such as Photos, Files, iCloud Drive, the App Store, online sources selected by you, and third-party link extraction services such as YouTubeKit. Availability and behavior of those services are controlled by their providers and subject to their own terms.

Downloading from a link

Download from Link is optional and off by default on a new installation. You enable it in Settings by accepting these terms. Acceptance is saved and may be preserved across app updates. It is a one-time acknowledgement, rather than a separate confirmation of rights for every download.

You may download video or audio only when you have the necessary content rights or permission and the download is permitted by applicable law and the source service’s terms. You are responsible for checking these conditions for each item, including any rights in its music or other included material, before you start the download. You are also responsible for how you use and share the resulting file.

A publicly accessible link, an available download option, or your acceptance of these terms does not grant a content license or permission from a source service. Cinder does not verify your rights to each item or grant additional rights to third-party content. Use the feature only for permitted downloads.

Cinder resolves links using service-specific extraction methods and may use a third-party extraction service. It has no in-app browser or content catalog. The network requests and data involved are described in the Cinder Privacy Policy. We may change or remove supported sources when their behavior or terms change.

Acceptable use

You agree not to use Cinder to:

• break applicable law or infringe another person’s rights;
• circumvent access restrictions, paywalls, technical protections, or digital rights management without lawful authorization;
• distribute unlawful, harmful, or unauthorized material; or
• interfere with Cinder, Apple services, or third-party services.

Availability and updates

We may improve, change, or discontinue features. Operating-system updates, media formats, storage availability, and third-party changes can affect how Cinder works. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability or support for every device, file, codec, or external source.

No warranty

To the extent permitted by law, Cinder is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties beyond those that cannot legally be excluded. You are responsible for checking the compressed result before deleting or replacing an original.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of data, failed exports, unavailable third-party services, or decisions made from a compressed result. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

Your responsibility for content and downloads does not exclude obligations or liability that applicable law places on us, or limit your mandatory consumer rights.

Apple terms

Apple’s Standard End User License Agreement and applicable App Store terms also govern your use of Cinder. If these terms conflict with mandatory App Store terms, the mandatory App Store terms control.

Privacy

Cinder’s data handling is described in the Cinder Privacy Policy.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Germany, without limiting any mandatory consumer protections that apply where you live.
