Terms of Service

Effective: July 18, 2026

Welcome. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the MercWork website and our mobile applications, currently including Sketchbound, Qubiq, Lu d'Amor, and TrialHound (each an "App," and together with the website, the "Services"). By downloading, installing, or using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

1. Who We Are

The Services are operated by MercWork ("we," "us"). You can reach us at support@mercwork.com.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction) to use the Services. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may only use the Services with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian. Individual apps may set a higher minimum age where their content calls for it.

3. License to Use the Apps

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use our Apps on devices you own or control, for your own personal use. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

Our Apps are licensed to you through the Apple App Store and are also subject to the Apple Standard EULA. Where these Terms conflict with the Apple EULA, these Terms apply, except to the extent prohibited by Apple's developer agreements.

4. Accounts

Some Apps require an account to work. When you create one, you agree to provide accurate information and to keep your credentials secure. You are responsible for activity that happens under your account. You may delete your account at any time from within the App's settings or by emailing privacy@mercwork.com; see our Privacy Policy for what that removes. Apps that run entirely on your device do not require an account.

5. In-App Purchases and Virtual Items

Some Apps offer in-app purchases, which may include virtual currency, cosmetic items, subscriptions, or other digital content. Where an App offers them, the following applies:

  • Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive your payment method details.
  • Virtual currency and virtual items have no monetary value, cannot be redeemed for cash, and cannot be transferred, sold, or exchanged outside the Services.
  • Purchases are final. Refund requests are handled by Apple in accordance with the App Store refund policy.
  • Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple ID settings; cancelling stops future renewals but does not refund the current period.
  • We may modify, discontinue, or adjust the price or availability of virtual items at any time. We will not remove virtual items you have already purchased, except as required by law or to enforce these Terms.
  • If an App is permanently discontinued, unused virtual items may become unusable. We will provide reasonable advance notice where practical.

6. Advertising

Some Apps display advertisements served through third-party ad networks, which may include optional rewarded ads that grant in-app benefits. Watching a rewarded ad is always voluntary. See our Privacy Policy for how ad partners handle data.

7. Your Conduct

You agree not to:

  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the Services, except to the extent permitted by applicable law.
  • Modify the Services or use cheats, bots, hacks, memory-editing tools, or other unauthorized software to gain an unfair advantage or manipulate virtual items, leaderboards, or other users' data.
  • Use the Services to harass, defame, or harm any person, to upload unlawful or infringing content, or to violate any applicable law.
  • Circumvent or attempt to circumvent any security or access control in the Services, or access another user's account or content without permission.
  • Resell, rent, lease, or sublicense the Services or virtual items.

8. User Content

In Apps that let you create or share content, you keep ownership of what you create. You grant us a limited license to host, store, and display that content solely to operate the App and provide it back to you and to anyone you choose to share it with. You are responsible for the content you create and share, and for having the rights to do so.

9. Intellectual Property

The Services, including all software, artwork, music, sound effects, gameplay mechanics, names, logos, and other content we provide, are owned by MercWork or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. These Terms grant you no ownership rights in the Services.

10. Feedback

If you send us suggestions, ideas, or feedback about the Services, we may use that feedback for any purpose without obligation to you. You agree that feedback is not confidential.

11. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or if we must do so to comply with law. You may stop using the Services at any time by uninstalling the App or deleting your account.

12. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MERCWORK AND ITS SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE SIX MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE AND (B) USD $50.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of liability for certain damages. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold MercWork harmless from any claim, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Services or your violation of these Terms.

15. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that any dispute arising from these Terms or the Services will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New Jersey, United States, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Effective" date above. If the change is material, we will provide reasonable notice before it takes effect. Your continued use of the Services after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
