These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Roman Karankevych ("Knitify", "we", "us", or "our") governing your use of the Knitify mobile application (the "App") and website (the "Website"). By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the App and must delete it from your device.
The App is a general-audience product and is not directed at children. You must be at least the digital age of consent in your country to use the App on your own:
By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet the applicable age requirements. If you are below that age, or are otherwise under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you must have the permission of your parent or legal guardian to use the App, and they must agree to these Terms on your behalf and supervise your use of the App. We reserve the right to terminate accounts where we have reasonable grounds to believe the user does not meet the applicable age requirements.
Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data. By using the App, you consent to the processing of your information as described in the Privacy Policy.
4.1 Source photos. When you upload a photo to the App to generate a knitting pattern, you retain all ownership rights to that photo. By uploading a photo, you grant us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, revocable licence to (i) process the photo locally on your device to generate the pattern and (ii) — only if you are signed in — store and sync the photo and its generated pattern to your private cloud storage so you can access them across your devices. The licence terminates automatically when you delete the project, the source photo, or your account, whichever comes first.
4.2 Generated patterns. The knitting pattern generated from your photo is a derivative work of your photo combined with our pattern-generation algorithm. We grant you a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable licence to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and exploit the generated pattern for any purpose, including commercial use, provided that (a) you have the necessary rights to the source photo (including any photographer, model, trademark, or copyright clearances that may be required), and (b) your use does not infringe any third-party right.
4.3 No AI training, no public sharing. We do not use your photos, generated patterns, or project metadata to train any machine-learning model — ours or a third party's — and we do not sell, rent, license, or share them with any third party except the hosting and infrastructure service providers identified in our Privacy Policy. The App does not provide any user-to-user content sharing, public feed, comments, messaging, or any other surface where content created by one user is visible to another. All photos and patterns you upload remain private to your account.
4.4 Your warranties. You represent and warrant that (i) you own all rights to the photos you upload or have obtained all necessary licences and consents from depicted persons and rights-holders; (ii) your upload and use of the photo and the resulting pattern do not infringe any copyright, trademark, right of publicity, privacy right, or other right of any third party; and (iii) the photo does not contain unlawful, obscene, or otherwise prohibited material as described in Section 8.
Knitify offers a free tier and the following optional paid items. Authoritative pricing, currency, and any local taxes are always displayed inside the App on the platform's purchase sheet before you confirm.
5.1 Billing. All payments are processed by Apple (Apple App Store / Apple Media Services) or Google (Google Play Billing). Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account at confirmation of purchase. We do not collect, receive, or store your payment-method details (e.g. card number, billing address).
5.2 Auto-renewal of subscriptions. Your Yearly Pro subscription renews automatically at the same price (unless we have notified you of a change in advance and you have not turned off auto-renewal) for successive 12-month periods until you cancel. The subscription will be charged within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. Cancellation of an existing subscription takes effect at the end of the then-current paid period; no partial refund is given for the unused portion of that period unless required by mandatory consumer law.
5.3 How to cancel. You can manage and cancel your subscription at any time, with effect for the next billing period, in your platform account settings:
Cancellation must always be at least as easy as signing up, in line with the FTC "Click-to-Cancel" rule (16 CFR Part 425), the EU Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU as amended, and analogous state laws (e.g. California ARL). To cancel you do not need to contact us. You may continue to use Pro features until the end of the period for which you have already paid.
5.4 Deleting the App or your account does not cancel your subscription. Removing the App from your device or asking us to delete your account does not stop your subscription with Apple or Google; you must cancel through the platform account settings to avoid future charges.
5.5 Free trials and promotional offers. If we offer a free trial, the price, length of the trial, and the price of the subscription that begins automatically when the trial ends will be disclosed on the platform's purchase sheet. You can cancel during the trial through the same channels as for any subscription; if you do not cancel before the end of the trial, the subscription begins and you will be charged.
5.6 Price changes. If we change the recurring price of an active subscription, the platform (Apple or Google) will notify you and require your express consent before the new price applies, in accordance with the applicable platform rules and the EU Consumer Rights Directive.
6.1 Platform-managed refunds. Because all transactions are processed by Apple App Store or Google Play, refund decisions for in-app purchases are made by the relevant platform under its own policy. Refund requests should first be addressed to:
6.2 EU/UK statutory refund rights. Nothing in this section affects mandatory consumer-law rights you have, including your right under EU Directive 2011/83/EU (and the UK equivalent) to a refund where the digital service does not conform to the contract within the statutory conformity period (at least two years for a continuously supplied service in the EU). Where Apple or Google declines a refund that you are entitled to under mandatory consumer law applicable to you, please contact us at support@knitify-app.com and we will work with you and the platform to resolve the issue.
6.3 Polish consumer rights. If you are a consumer resident in Poland, you also benefit from rights granted by the Polish Ustawa o prawach konsumenta of 30 May 2014 and the Polish Civil Code (in particular the rules on warranty / rękojmia for digital content and digital services in Art. 43h ff.). These rights cannot be waived by contract.
7.1 Statutory right. If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction granting an equivalent right (e.g. Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway), you have a statutory right to withdraw from a paid subscription or one-time digital purchase within 14 days after the day on which the contract is concluded, without giving any reason and without incurring any cost (other than as set out in 7.2 below).
7.2 Loss of the right of withdrawal for digital content. Under EU Directive 2011/83/EU as amended, Art. 16(m), and the corresponding national implementations (in Poland: Art. 38 of the Ustawa o prawach konsumenta), the right of withdrawal does not apply to a contract for the supply of digital content not on a tangible medium where performance has begun with your prior express consent and your acknowledgement that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal. By tapping Subscribe or Unlock on the platform's purchase sheet you (i) expressly request that we begin providing the digital service immediately and (ii) acknowledge that you therefore lose your statutory right of withdrawal once the digital service has been fully supplied (which, for our subscriptions, occurs as soon as Pro features are unlocked on your account).
7.3 How to withdraw before performance begins. If you wish to withdraw before performance has fully begun, send a clear statement to support@knitify-app.com within 14 days of purchase, including the platform of purchase (Apple/Google), the order ID, and the email address used. We will work with the platform to confirm the cancellation and refund.
7.4 Model withdrawal form. You may use the EU Annex I(B) standard form, available here, but it is not compulsory.
8.1 Our IP. The App itself — including its software code, design, algorithms, UI/UX, copy text, logos, and trademarks — is the exclusive property of Roman Karankevych (operating as Knitify) and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws of Poland, the European Union, and applicable international treaties.
8.2 Your licence to the App. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to download and use the App on any iOS or Android device that you own or control, solely for your personal or commercial knitting-related purposes. The licence is for use of the App only; we transfer no ownership interest in the App or any of its components to you.
8.3 Restrictions. You may not, and you may not permit any third party to: (i) reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the App, except to the extent that such activity cannot be prohibited under applicable mandatory law (including, in the EU, Art. 5–6 of Directive 2009/24/EC); (ii) modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the App; (iii) distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, or otherwise transfer the App or any of its components; (iv) remove or obscure any proprietary notices in the App; (v) use the App to build a competing product; or (vi) circumvent any technical limitation in the App.
8.4 Generated patterns. Ownership and licensing of the patterns the App generates from your photos are governed by Section 4 above.
9.1 No public sharing surface. The App does not offer any user-to-user content sharing, public feed, comments, messaging, or other surface where one user's content is visible to another. All content you upload is private to your account.
9.2 Prohibited content. You agree not to upload, store, or process any photo or other content that:
9.3 Prohibited conduct. You must not:
9.4 Reporting. If you become aware of content stored in the App's cloud sync that you believe violates this Section 9, please contact support@knitify-app.com with sufficient detail for us to investigate. For intellectual-property infringement, see Section 10.
10.1 Designated contact. Although the App does not provide a public sharing surface, we maintain a notice-and-action procedure to honour our obligations under (a) the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) and (b), where applicable, EU Regulation 2022/2065 ("Digital Services Act") Art. 16. The designated point of contact for intellectual-property notices is support@knitify-app.com.
10.2 Form of notice. A valid notice must contain:
10.3 Action. Upon receipt of a valid notice we will, without undue delay, review the notice and take appropriate action, which may include removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing content, notifying the affected user, or taking other measures as required by applicable law. Repeat infringers' accounts will be terminated. We may forward notices and any contact information you provide to the affected user.
10.4 Counter-notice (DMCA). If you are an affected user and you believe that content has been removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice in accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(g) by emailing the designated address.
10.5 Misuse. Knowingly making false claims under this Section 10 may result in liability under the DMCA, the Digital Services Act, or other applicable law.
We may suspend or terminate your account and access to the App at our sole discretion, with or without notice, if we determine in good faith that you have materially violated these Terms, engaged in fraudulent or abusive activity, or posed a security risk to the App, our other users, or third parties. For consumer accounts in the EU/UK, we will, where reasonably practicable, give you advance notice and an opportunity to cure non-material breaches. Upon termination, your right to use the App will cease immediately, but Sections 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 20 will survive.
12.1 Third-party services. The App relies on third-party services (including Firebase by Google and RevenueCat) for core functionality. Your use of the App must comply with the terms of those services. We are not responsible for the acts, omissions, or content of any third-party service.
12.2 Apple-specific terms. If you downloaded the App from the Apple App Store, the following terms additionally apply (this Section 12.2 reflects Schedule 1 of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement, "Instructions for Minimum Terms of Developer's End-User License Agreement"):
12.3 Google-Play-specific terms. If you downloaded the App from Google Play, your use is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service and the Google Play Billing Terms. We comply with the Google Play Developer Distribution Agreement and Google Play Developer Programme Policies.
13.1 General. Subject to Section 13.2 and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to 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 completely secure. We do not guarantee the accuracy of the generated knitting patterns, yarn estimates, or colour matching; you use the generated patterns at your own risk.
13.2 Consumer carve-out. Nothing in this Section 13 affects, excludes, or limits any statutory consumer right that cannot be excluded or limited by contract under the mandatory law of your country of residence. In particular:
14.1 Carve-outs. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for: (a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; (c) gross negligence or wilful misconduct; (d) any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable mandatory law, including consumer-protection laws of your country of residence (in Poland, this includes liability that cannot be excluded under Art. 385¹ and 473 § 2 of the Polish Civil Code).
14.2 Cap. Subject to Section 14.1 and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law: (i) we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or use, arising out of or related to your use of the App, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages; and (ii) our total cumulative liability for any and all claims arising out of or related to these Terms or the App will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us for the App in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) EUR 50.
14.3 Free tier. If you use only the free tier of the App, our liability to you is limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, except for the carve-outs in Section 14.1.
15.1 General. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Knitify and its developer from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in any way connected with: (i) your use of the App in violation of these Terms; (ii) your violation of any third-party right (including any intellectual-property, privacy, or publicity right) related to photos you upload or content you create using the App; or (iii) your violation of any applicable law.
15.2 Consumer carve-out. If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction whose mandatory consumer law restricts contractual indemnification by consumers, this Section 15 applies only to the extent permitted by that mandatory law. In Poland in particular, this Section will not apply where it would constitute an unfair contractual term within the meaning of Art. 385¹ ff. of the Polish Civil Code.
Neither party will be liable for any failure or delay in performance under these Terms (other than payment obligations and obligations under Sections 6 and 7 where statutory) caused by an event beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, war, armed conflict, civil unrest, government action, sanctions, epidemics, pandemics, internet or telecommunications outages, third-party-service outages (including outages of Apple, Google, or Firebase), cyber-attacks, or natural disasters. The affected party will use reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable.
17.1 Governing law. These Terms and your use of the App are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Poland and the directly applicable law of the European Union, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Where you are a consumer habitually resident in another country, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection afforded to you by mandatory provisions of the law of your country of habitual residence (Rome I Regulation (EC) No 593/2008, Art. 6).
17.2 Jurisdiction. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms is subject to the jurisdiction of the competent courts of Poland; however, if you are a consumer habitually resident in another EU Member State, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of your Member State of residence and, conversely, we may only sue you in the courts of your Member State of residence (Brussels Ia Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012, Art. 17–19).
17.3 Out-of-court dispute resolution (EU consumers). If you are a consumer in the EU, you may also contact your local European Consumer Centre (ECC-Net) at ec.europa.eu → ECC-Net. Note: the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform was discontinued on 20 July 2025 by Regulation (EU) 2024/3228, so it is no longer available. In Poland you may also turn to the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) at uokik.gov.pl, the Trade Inspectorate (Inspekcja Handlowa), or a municipal/county consumer ombudsman (rzecznik konsumentów).
17.4 Mandatory consumer protections. Nothing in this Section 17 deprives any consumer user of any mandatory protection that they have under the consumer law of their country of habitual residence.
If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remainder of these Terms remains in full force and effect. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, set out the principal agreement between you and Knitify regarding the App; they do not exclude any mandatory consumer protection or any prior commitment we have made to you in writing.
We may modify these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in the App, technology, business practices, or legal requirements. For material changes that affect your rights or obligations, we will (i) update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page; (ii) notify you in advance through the App or by email at least 30 days before the change takes effect, where reasonably practicable; and (iii) for changes to a paid subscription that disadvantage you, only apply the new Terms after you have given express consent through the platform's price-change flow or after the next renewal of your subscription, whichever applies under the platform rules. If you do not agree with a material change, you may stop using the App and cancel your subscription before the change takes effect.
