Terms of Service
Last Updated: February 27, 2026
Effective Date: February 27, 2026
Agreement to Terms
By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the SnapProof mobile application ("App"), you ("User," "you," or "your") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not download, install, or use the App.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and SnapProof ("we," "us," "our," or "Company").
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY, INCLUDING THE MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS IN SECTION 15, WHICH AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
1. Description of Service
SnapProof is a mobile documentation tool that allows users to capture photos and videos with embedded metadata, including timestamps, GPS coordinates, and device information. The App provides cryptographic verification through SHA-256 hashing, RFC 3161 timestamping, and device attestation.
Definition of "Evidence" and Related Terms
Throughout these Terms, the App, and all associated materials, the term "evidence" is used in its common, everyday meaning to refer to user-generated digital files (photos and videos) and their associated technical metadata (timestamps, GPS coordinates, device information, and cryptographic hashes).
The use of the term "evidence" does NOT imply, suggest, or guarantee:
- Legal admissibility in any court, tribunal, arbitration, or legal proceeding
- Legal authenticity or probative value under any rules of evidence
- Compliance with any jurisdiction's specific evidentiary standards or requirements
- That any court, judge, arbitrator, or authority will accept, consider, or give weight to such content
- Any legal status, certification, or endorsement by SnapProof or any third party
The determination of whether any content qualifies as admissible evidence in any legal proceeding is made solely by the applicable court, judge, or authority, and is governed by the rules of evidence and procedural rules of the relevant jurisdiction.
Similarly, the terms "verify," "verified," "certify," "certified," "record," and "recorded" as used in the App refer exclusively to the technical processes performed by the software (cryptographic hashing, timestamping, and metadata embedding) and do not imply any legal conclusion, legal certification, or legal verification.
Verification Scope: All verification performed by SnapProof is limited to technical metadata integrity (timestamps, hashes, device attestation) and does not verify the accuracy, truth, context, or meaning of any captured content.
SnapProof is a documentation tool ONLY.

SnapProof expressly disclaims any responsibility for your unlawful use of the App. If you use SnapProof to violate any law, you do so at your own risk and sole liability.
4. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to use SnapProof. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement.
5. Intellectual Property
5.1 Our Intellectual Property
The App, including its design, features, functionality, code, graphics, logos, and trademarks, is owned by SnapProof and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the App without our written permission.
5.2 Your Content
You retain all ownership rights to the photos, videos, and content you create using SnapProof. We do not claim any ownership over your content.
6. Privacy
Your use of SnapProof is also governed by our Privacy Policy, available at https://getsnapproof.com/privacy. We encourage you to review our Privacy Policy to understand how your information is handled. Our Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
7. Third-Party Services
SnapProof uses the following third-party services for verification and record-keeping:
- DigiCert — RFC 3161 timestamping (primary)
- Sectigo — RFC 3161 timestamping (failover)
- Entrust — RFC 3161 timestamping (secondary failover)
- Supabase — Verification record storage (cryptographic hashes, verification IDs, timestamps, and metadata only — no photos, videos, or user-generated media content)
- Apple DeviceCheck — iOS device attestation
- Google Play Integrity — Android device attestation (planned)
These services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices or availability of third-party services. In the event that a failover timestamp authority (Sectigo or Entrust) is used instead of DigiCert, this will be accurately reflected in your verification records and any exported documentation. All three timestamp authorities produce cryptographically equivalent RFC 3161 tokens.
Device Attestation Disclaimer: Device Attestation is informational only. A "Verified" attestation status indicates the device passed Apple/Google integrity checks at the time of capture. It does not constitute a guarantee, certification, or endorsement by SnapProof regarding device security or evidence authenticity.

SnapProof offers free features, one-time purchase options, and subscription plans. Details regarding pricing, features, and purchase options are displayed within the App and may be updated from time to time.

12.2 Data Continuity
In the event that SnapProof ceases operations or discontinues the App:
- RFC 3161 timestamp certificates issued by DigiCert, Sectigo, or Entrust exist independently on their respective servers and remain cryptographically valid regardless of SnapProof's operational status. These timestamps are governed by international standards and do not depend on SnapProof for their continued validity.

YOU AND SNAPPROOF AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions, which shall remain in full force and effect.
