LEGAL · TERMS
Terms of Service
These terms govern your use of ChaoNiu Doc Scanner (“the app”) and this website in the global edition. By using the app you accept them. The Chinese mainland edition on chaoniudoc.com is operated separately and has its own terms.
1. Who you are contracting with
The global edition is provided by ChainMotion Future Technology Limited (a Hong Kong company, CR No. 77542324), registered office Flat D07, 8/F, Phase 2, Kai Tak Factory Building, 99 King Fuk Street, San Po Kong, Hong Kong.
2. The service
The app provides document scanning, format conversion, text recognition, editing, signing, audio transcription, video script extraction and AI image generation. Some features run on your device, others on our servers. Features and prices can change as the product develops; we keep the descriptions on this site in step with what the app actually does.
3. Your account
You are responsible for keeping your sign-in credentials and any API keys you create safe. Activity through your key counts as yours.
4. Your content
You keep all rights to the files you upload. You grant us only the limited licence needed to process them and deliver the result to you. You must have the right to process what you upload, and you must not use the service for unlawful material, to forge documents or identity papers, or to infringe anyone else’s rights.
5. AI output
Recognition, transcription, analysis and generated images are produced automatically and can be wrong or incomplete. Check anything you rely on. Generated images may resemble other works; you are responsible for how you use them.
6. Paid plans, credits and subscriptions
Some features need a paid plan or credits. Prices, included quotas and billing units are shown in the app or at checkout before you pay. [TODO — to be confirmed: the global price list and billing currency]
Subscriptions bought through an app store renew automatically until you cancel, and you manage or cancel them in that store’s subscription settings. Cancelling stops the next renewal; it does not shorten a period you have already paid for. Credits are consumed by the jobs you run and, unless stated otherwise at purchase, do not expire while your account is active. [TODO — to be confirmed: whether purchased credits expire, and after how long]
Refunds are covered by our Refund Policy.
7. Acceptable use
Do not attempt to break, overload or reverse engineer the service, resell access without our agreement, or use automated access beyond the published API limits.
8. Availability
We aim to keep the service running but do not promise uninterrupted availability. We may suspend features for maintenance, or discontinue a feature, in which case we will say so in the app or on this site.
9. Liability
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, or loss of data you could have avoided by keeping your own copies. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including your statutory consumer rights.
10. Termination
You can stop using the app and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms, and will tell you why unless the law prevents it.
11. Governing law and contact
These terms are governed by the laws of [TODO — to be confirmed: the governing law and the courts with jurisdiction; Hong Kong SAR is the expected answer, to be confirmed] Questions: [email protected].
