Terms of Use

Last updated: 6 August 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of Shipmate ("the App"), a native macOS application published by NTPCO ("we", "us", "our"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. License scope

Subject to these Terms and to the license terms applicable to the store from which you obtained the App, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use Shipmate on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, for your own development and business purposes. This license does not transfer any ownership of the App to you. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. Additional license terms are set out in our End User License Agreement.

2. Acceptable use

You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You will not:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits;
• Copy, modify, distribute, sell, sublicense, or lease the App or any part of it;
• Use the App to access accounts or data you are not authorized to access, or in violation of Apple's App Store Connect terms or API usage policies;
• Use the App to build a competing product or to circumvent any usage limits or security measures;
• Use the App in any way that could harm, disable, or impair it or interfere with any other party's use of it.

3. Purchases and subscriptions

Shipmate is distributed through the Apple Mac App Store and through Setapp. Any purchase, subscription, billing, renewal, refund, or cancellation is handled entirely by Apple or by Setapp, as applicable, and is governed by their respective terms:

• Purchases made through the Mac App Store are subject to Apple's Media Services / App Store terms.
• Access provided through Setapp is subject to Setapp's subscription terms.

We do not process payments directly and do not store your payment information. Please direct billing and refund requests to Apple or Setapp accordingly.

4. Third-party services

Shipmate works with services that are operated by third parties and governed by their own terms:

• Apple App Store Connect API. The App uses Apple's App Store Connect API, with credentials you supply, to retrieve your own data. Your use of that API is subject to Apple's terms.
• AI providers. AI features can run locally on your device, or through a cloud provider that you choose and configure with your own API key. If you use a cloud provider, your use of it is governed by that provider's terms and privacy policy, and any charges from that provider are your responsibility.

We are not responsible for third-party services, their availability, or their content, and your dealings with them are solely between you and them.

5. Your data and content

Shipmate is local-first: your App Store Connect credentials and cached data remain on your Mac. You are responsible for the security of your device, your credentials, and any content you process with the App. Our handling of data is described in our Privacy Policy.

6. Intellectual property

The App, including its software, design, and trademarks (including "Shipmate" and "NTPCO"), is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms grant you no rights to our trademarks or branding.

7. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that the data it displays (which originates from Apple) is complete, accurate, or timely. You rely on the App and its output at your own discretion and risk.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will we be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the App, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the App will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid for the App in the twelve months preceding the claim, or USD 50.

9. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless NTPCO and its affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or connected with your misuse of the App, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.

10. Termination

These Terms apply until terminated. Your license terminates automatically if you breach any of these Terms. You may end the license at any time by deleting the App. Upon termination, you must stop using the App and delete all copies. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnity) will survive.

11. Governing law

These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the App, will be governed by the laws of Brazil, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Nothing in these Terms affects any mandatory statutory rights you have as a consumer.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be reflected here, and your continued use of the App after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
