Terms of Use
Effective November 9, 2026
These terms are an agreement between you and Work Is Mine (“we”, “us”) for the Work Is Mine app and workismine.com. By creating an account you agree to them. If you downloaded the app from Apple’s App Store, Apple’s Standard End User License Agreement also applies, and these terms add to it.
1. Who can use it
You must be at least 18 years old and able to agree to these terms.
2. What Work Is Mine does
Work Is Mine lets makers document their own work with photos taken in the app and a written statement, and publish that record on a public check page. A record is the maker’s own claim, time-stamped and locked when published. We do not inspect, verify, appraise, or certify any item, maker, or claim, and a record is not a guarantee of authenticity, quality, origin, or ownership. Buyers should use a record as one piece of evidence, together with their own judgment.
3. Your promises
When you publish a record, you promise that:
- you made the piece yourself, or your statement clearly says which parts you didn’t make;
- the photos are genuine, of your own work, and taken by you or with your permission;
- your statement is true and not misleading; and
- the record doesn’t infringe anyone’s rights or include other people’s private information without their permission.
Publishing a false record, or a record of someone else’s work, is a serious breach of these terms. It may also be fraud or a violation of marketplace rules.
4. Your content
You keep ownership of your photos and statements. You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, display, and share them as part of the service, including on public check pages, for as long as the record is published. That license ends when you delete the record’s account, except for backup copies kept for a short time.
5. Records can’t be edited
A published record can’t be changed, so that buyers can trust it. You can withdraw a record, and its page will then say it was withdrawn. You can delete your account, which removes all your records and their pages.
6. Reports and removal
Anyone can report a record they believe is false or uses their work by emailing report@workismine.com with the record code. We may review reports and may mark, withdraw, or remove records, or suspend accounts, that we reasonably believe break these terms or the law. Copyright owners may send notices to the same address.
7. Subscription and free trial
- Publishing records requires a subscription: US $24.99 per year (or the local price shown in the store), with a 3-day free trial for eligible new subscribers.
- Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account when the trial ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends.
- The subscription renews automatically each year unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple ID or Google Play subscription settings.
- Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies.
- If your subscription ends, records you already published stay online; you just can’t publish new ones.
8. Acceptable use
Don’t misuse the service: no attempts to get around the in-app camera, upload altered photos, break or probe our security, scrape the service at scale, or use it to harass, deceive, or harm anyone.
9. Disclaimers
The service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We are not a party to any sale between makers and buyers and are not responsible for those transactions.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or sales. Our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Some places don’t allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.
11. Ending your use
You can stop using the service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end accounts that break these terms.
12. Changes
We may update these terms. If a change matters, we’ll tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use the service after that means you accept the new terms.
