Terms of Use
The short version: the apps are free to use with ads, with an optional Pro subscription handled by Google Play. Use them on devices and networks you're allowed to use. TapScan helps you look for hidden devices but can't promise to find every one. We provide the apps as they are, and our liability is limited to what you've paid us.
Who we are
Tap Studios ("we", "us") makes the TapTV and TapScan apps. By installing or using either app you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the apps. Questions are welcome at support@tapstudios.app.
The apps
TapTV and TapScan are free to use and show ads. Each app offers an optional subscription, TapTV Pro or TapScan Pro, that removes the ads.
- Subscriptions are sold and billed through Google Play, under your Google Play account and Google's terms. We never see your payment details.
- They renew automatically (monthly or yearly, whichever you chose) until you cancel.
- You can cancel anytime in the Google Play app under Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. You keep Pro until the end of the period you've paid for. Uninstalling the app does not cancel a subscription.
- Refunds are handled by Google under Google Play's refund policy.
Using the apps
The apps are for your personal use, on devices and networks you own or are allowed to use.
- TapTV controls TVs on your own Wi-Fi network. Only pair it with TVs you're entitled to control.
- TapScan is a detection aid. It looks for hidden cameras, recorders and trackers using your phone's radios and camera, but no app can guarantee finding every device: ones that are switched off, on another network or recording to a memory card can stay hidden. Don't rely on TapScan as your only safeguard, and treat its results as a starting point for your own check.
- You're responsible for complying with the laws that apply to you when you scan networks or devices, or control equipment. Don't use the apps to interfere with networks, devices or people you have no right to.
- Don't copy, modify, reverse-engineer or resell the apps. We keep all rights in them that these terms don't grant you.
No warranty and limitation of liability
The apps are provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. We don't promise that they'll work with every TV, network or device, be free of errors, or find every hidden device.
To the extent permitted by law, we aren't liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses arising from your use of the apps, and our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us for the apps in the 12 months before the claim arose. Some jurisdictions don't allow these limits, so some may not apply to you.
Third-party services
The apps rely on services we don't control: Google Play for distribution and purchases, Google AdMob for ads, Firebase Crashlytics for TapTV crash reports, and the TV manufacturers' own services that TapTV talks to. Each is subject to its provider's terms and privacy policy. Our Privacy Policy explains what each one receives.

Changes
If we change these terms we'll update the date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the apps after a change means you accept the new terms. Significant changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
