Shame Reader — Terms of Use (EULA)

Last updated: July 7, 2026

By downloading, installing, or using Shame Reader (“the App”), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the App. These terms are between you and Shame Logic LLC (“we”, “us”, “our”).

1. Acceptance of terms

Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.

2. License grant

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on Apple-branded devices you own or control, subject to Apple's App Store terms. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, or redistribute the App except as permitted by law.

3. Description of service

Shame Reader lets you photograph or import an image of printed text, recognizes the text using cloud OCR, and reads it aloud using cloud text-to-speech. The App includes options to skip headlines and subtitles, choose male or female voices, adjust reading speed, and optionally enable humorous “roast” lines before reading (off by default).

Free tier: ten (10) pages may be read at no charge so you can evaluate the App. Shame Reader Pro: a one-time in-app purchase unlocks unlimited page reads and full access to all features. Pricing is shown in the App Store at purchase time.

OCR accuracy depends on image quality, lighting, and print. The App is not a substitute for professional accessibility services, medical advice, or legal document review.

4. Purchases and payments

Pro unlock purchases are processed through Apple's App Store and managed via RevenueCat. This is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, unless we clearly label a different product in the paywall. We do not process payment card data. Restore purchases is available in the App. Refunds are handled by Apple per App Store policy.

5. User content and conduct

You are responsible for the images you capture or import. Do not use the App to process content you do not have the right to use. Do not attempt to abuse the API, circumvent purchase requirements, or interfere with the service.

6. Roast mode

Optional roast lines are generated from curated templates for entertainment. Sensitive topics (such as death or illness) receive gentle lines instead of jokes. You enable roast mode voluntarily. We are not liable for emotional reactions to humorous commentary you choose to enable.

7. Disclaimers

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE PERFECT OCR, PRONUNCIATION, OR READING ORDER FOR ALL LAYOUTS. CLOUD SERVICES MAY BE UNAVAILABLE FROM TIME TO TIME.

8. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SHAME LOGIC LLC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APP.

9. Apple

Apple is not a party to these terms and has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support for the App. Apple is not responsible for product claims, intellectual property claims, or third-party terms related to the App.

10. Changes

We may update these terms. Continued use after the “Last updated” date constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
