Warunki korzystania z SewGradera zwykłym językiem. Staraliśmy się napisać je jak najjaśniej — bez prawniczego żargonu tam, gdzie nie jest potrzebny. W skrócie: używaj aplikacji do tworzenia, nie nadużywaj jej, a Twoja praca jest Twoja.
O tłumaczeniach. Obudowa tej strony idzie za językiem wybranym w stopce, ale sam dokument publikujemy wyłącznie po angielsku i to angielski tekst obowiązuje. To celowe: przetłumaczona klauzula, która odchodzi od oryginału, jest gorsza niż brak tłumaczenia, bo wygląda na wiążącą. Jeśli coś tutaj jest niejasne w Twoim języku, napisz, a wyjaśnimy — developer@virtalia.cz.
These Terms of Use ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("you", "the user") and the developer of SewGrader ("we", "us", "our") regarding your use of the SewGrader application ("the App") on Apple platforms including iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.
By downloading, installing, or using the App — including any TestFlight beta version — you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
Use of the App is also subject to Apple's standard End User License Agreement (EULA), which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. In the event of any conflict between Apple's EULA and these Terms, Apple's EULA takes precedence solely with respect to provisions that are required by Apple.
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the App on Apple devices that you own or control, solely for your personal or professional pattern-making purposes.
This license does not permit you to:
All rights in the App not expressly granted by this license are reserved by us.
Your patterns are yours. All pattern pieces, projects, designs, measurements, and other content you create within SewGrader remain your intellectual property. We claim no ownership over anything you make with the App.
Because all your content is stored exclusively on your device (see our Privacy Policy), we have no access to it and impose no restrictions on how you use, share, sell, or publish the patterns and designs you create.
You are responsible for ensuring that any content you import into the App — such as photographs of third-party patterns — does not infringe the intellectual property rights of others. SewGrader is a tool; the legality of the content you work with is your responsibility.
Patterns based on published sewing patterns that are commercially protected may require a licence from the original rights holder before you reproduce or distribute them, even in digital form. If in doubt, check the terms of the original pattern.
SewGrader is designed for sewing pattern drafting, editing, grading, and export. You agree to use the App only for its intended purposes and in compliance with all applicable laws.
You agree not to use the App to:
As the App is a fully local, offline tool with no server-side component, most of the above restrictions apply primarily to the App's code and distribution, not to your creative use of it.
SewGrader is sold as a single purchase. There is no subscription, no recurring charge, and nothing further sold to you inside the App afterwards. The purchase is processed exclusively by Apple through the App Store; we never receive or store any payment information.
The price shown on the App Store product page is the current one. It varies by region because Apple prices in local currency tiers, and it may change over time — but a change of price never converts a purchase already made into anything other than what it was when you made it.
Refunds: Because purchases are processed by Apple, all refund requests must be directed to Apple. We do not have the ability to issue refunds directly. You can request a refund through reportaproblem.apple.com.
Depending on how the App Store listing is configured, the purchase may be presented as a paid download or as a single in-app unlock. Either way it is the only thing sold: there is no second unlock, no consumable, and no paid tier above it. What you buy is tied to your Apple ID and can be restored on your other devices through the standard "Restore Purchases" mechanism.
We may change the price in future, and any change applies only to purchases made after it. What we will not do is move something the App already does behind a further payment: whatever it does on the day you buy it stays included.
Discount codes. Codes issued through the affiliate programme are Apple offer codes, redeemed inside the App Store like any other. Participating as a partner is a separate arrangement with its own terms, set out on that page; using a code as a customer adds nothing to these terms beyond the discount itself.
We may release updates to the App from time to time. Updates may add features, fix bugs, change existing functionality, or remove features. Where possible, we will describe significant changes in the App Store release notes.
Updates distributed through the App Store or TestFlight are subject to Apple's update mechanisms. We recommend keeping the App updated to ensure you have the latest bug fixes and security improvements.
We reserve the right to discontinue the App or any of its features at any time without prior notice, though we will make reasonable efforts to communicate significant changes in advance. If the App is discontinued, your locally stored pattern files will remain accessible to you — they are not held on our servers and cannot be deleted by us.
Your data is safe even if the App is discontinued. Because everything is stored locally on your device, you will always retain access to your files. We also support SVG export, so your work can always be moved to other software.
The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
We do not warrant that:
Pattern making involves creative and technical judgement. SewGrader is a tool to assist your work — it is your responsibility to verify measurements, seam allowances, and fit before cutting fabric. We are not liable for materials wasted as a result of pattern errors, regardless of cause.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the App.
This includes but is not limited to:
Back up your work. Because your files live only on your device, we strongly encourage you to back up your iPad or iPhone regularly using iCloud Backup or iTunes/Finder. We cannot recover lost project files on your behalf.
In any case, our total liability to you for any claim arising from use of the App shall not exceed the amount you paid to purchase the App. If you downloaded the App for free, our total liability shall be zero to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the minimum extent permitted by law.
The following terms apply because SewGrader is distributed through Apple's App Store and, during development, through TestFlight. These terms are required by Apple and form part of this agreement.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Czech Republic, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, you also benefit from any mandatory protective provisions of the law of your country of residence. Nothing in these Terms affects your rights as a consumer under applicable EU law.
Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App that cannot be resolved informally shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Czech Republic, unless applicable consumer protection law in your country of residence requires otherwise.
For consumers in the EU, the European Commission provides an online dispute resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are not obliged to participate in such dispute resolution but are willing to explore it as an alternative to litigation.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and post the revised Terms on this page before the change takes effect.
For significant changes — such as changes to the license scope or liability provisions — we will also include a notice in the App Store release notes of the next App update.
Your continued use of the App after the effective date of any updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree with the changes, you should stop using the App.
If you have any questions about these Terms, wish to report a legal concern, or need to reach us for any reason related to your use of SewGrader, please contact us:
