Terms & Conditions

1. Acceptance of these terms

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the Stacked mobile application ("Stacked," "the app"), published by Sleeping Giant Marketing Services Private Limited ("we," "us," "our"). By downloading, installing, or using Stacked, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.

2. License to use the app

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use Stacked on devices you own or control, for your own use, including in your professional work as a photographer, videographer or crew member, subject to these Terms and to the terms of the app store you downloaded it from. You may not reverse-engineer, decompile, redistribute, sublicense, or resell the app, except where applicable law gives you the right to do so despite this restriction.

3. Your data

You own and remain responsible for the gear lists, shoots, photos, reference images, notes and other content you create or manage using Stacked. In the current version that data is stored on your device, and Stacked reads and writes the calendars already configured on your device using the permissions you grant it. See our Privacy Policy for the full detail. Because Stacked currently has no backup system of its own, you are responsible for keeping a copy of anything you can't afford to lose (on Android, the phone's own app backup does not currently include Stacked's data). Uninstalling the app removes its locally stored data. On iPhone, an API key you entered can outlive an uninstall, so remove it in Settings first.

4. Planning aids, and your responsibility

Stacked proposes load-outs, shows sun positions and weather forecasts, and can look up product details, including through an optional AI lookup. These are planning aids. They can be wrong or incomplete: a proposed load-out is a suggestion built from the information you gave the app, the forecast may change, weights and specifications found by a lookup may be inaccurate or out of date, and the sun and weather information depends on third-party data and on the location you entered. You are responsible for deciding what to bring to a shoot, for checking your gear and your safety, and for verifying anything you rely on before you rely on it.

5. Subscriptions

Stacked is planned to be offered as an auto-renewing monthly subscription: a free one-week trial followed by $15 per month (the US price; the store shows your local price, which may include tax). Subscriptions are purchased, billed and managed through Google Play or the Apple App Store and are subject to that store's terms. Payment is charged to your store account when you confirm the purchase or when the free trial ends. The subscription renews automatically each month unless you turn off auto-renew: on the App Store at least 24 hours before the end of the trial or the current period, and on Google Play before the trial or period ends. You can manage or cancel it in your store account settings, and cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Refunds are handled by the store under its own policies. Prices and trial terms may change, as the store allows, and we will show any change in the app or the store listing before it applies to you. Some features, such as adding gear by barcode and the AI gear lookup, currently use your own Anthropic API key, which Anthropic bills to you separately and which is governed by Anthropic's terms. Until subscriptions are available in the app, this section does not apply.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to use Stacked to violate any applicable law, to interfere with the app's operation, to attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the app or the systems it runs on, or to use the app in any way that could damage, disable, or impair it for other users.

7. No warranty

Stacked is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with every device, calendar provider, or operating system version, or that any load-out, forecast, sun calculation or lookup result will be accurate.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data or profits, arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, Stacked, including forgotten, lost or damaged equipment, missed or disrupted shoots, missed reminders, and inaccurate load-outs, forecasts or lookup results, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be limited by law.

9. Third-party services

Stacked relies on services provided by your device's operating system (calendar, contacts, camera, notifications, geocoding) and on third-party services it contacts when you use certain features, such as weather data, barcode lookup, the optional AI lookup and crash reporting, all described in our Privacy Policy. It is distributed through app stores (Google Play, the Apple App Store) that impose their own terms. We aren't responsible for the availability, accuracy, or behavior of these third-party systems.

10. Termination

You may stop using Stacked at any time by uninstalling it. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the app, in whole or in part, at any time; where practical we'll try to give reasonable notice of any change that materially affects how the app works.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We'll update the "Last updated" date above when we do. Continuing to use Stacked after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable in your place of residence, to the extent those laws apply, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full effect.
