Media Sync Tool - Terms of Service
Last updated: 25 June 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Vitalii Vashchenko (the “Developer”, “we”, “us”, “our”) governing your use of the Media Sync Tool application and its Final Cut Pro extension (together, the “App”). By downloading, installing, or using the App you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
The App is licensed, not sold, to you. It is distributed through the Apple App Store and is subject to the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement; the App-Store-related provisions in the “Apple App Store — Additional Terms” section below apply in addition to these Terms.
1. License
Subject to these Terms and to your maintaining the required entitlement (an active subscription or a completed one-time purchase, see Section 3), we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. You may not copy (except as allowed by those Usage Rules), distribute, rent, lease, sell, sublicense, reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law.
2. What the App Does (and Your Responsibility for Output)
Media Sync Tool reads media and Final Cut Pro project data on your Mac, synchronizes dual-system media, logs continuity notes, and produces FCPXML and related output locally. The App processes your files on your device and does not upload them. You are solely responsible for reviewing and verifying all output before relying on it in any editorial, delivery, or archival workflow.
3. Purchases, Subscriptions, and Free Trials
Use of the App’s syncing and export functionality requires a purchase. The same purchase covers both the standalone app and its Final Cut Pro extension. We currently offer:
- Auto-renewing subscriptions — monthly, quarterly (3-month), and annual plans; and
- A one-time purchase (“lifetime”) that unlocks the App without recurring charges.
All plans unlock the same full feature set. Pricing is shown in the App and on the App Store and may vary by region and currency.
Free trial. A free trial may be offered on subscription plans. The trial length is shown at the point of purchase, and eligibility is determined by Apple (generally one trial per Apple Account). The one-time purchase has no trial. If you do not cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the subscription automatically begins and your Apple Account is charged the applicable price.
Auto-renewal. Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment will be charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase and at the start of each renewal period at the then-current price. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account Settings. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the current paid period; access continues until then and is not partially refunded.
Billing, cancellation, and refunds. All payments are processed by Apple through your Apple Account under Apple’s terms. We do not process payments and never receive or store your payment-card details. We cannot cancel subscriptions or issue refunds on your behalf — manage, cancel, or request a refund through your Apple Account or Apple Support. Subscription management and entitlement validation are performed via our subscription provider, RevenueCat, Inc. (see our Privacy Policy).
Fee changes. We may change subscription prices. A price change applies from the next billing period after notice is given as required by Apple, and your continued subscription after the change constitutes acceptance of the new price.
Loss of access. If your subscription lapses, is cancelled, or a purchase is refunded, your license to the gated functionality ends and the App returns to its locked state. Installing the App does not grant any perpetual right to the gated features absent a valid entitlement.
4. Your Content
The media, projects, continuity notes, and other files you open in the App are yours. You retain all rights to them. The App processes them locally on your device; we do not receive, store, transmit, or claim any license to your content. You are responsible for ensuring you have the rights to use the files you process and for maintaining your own backups.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use the App unlawfully, to infringe others’ rights, to circumvent the App’s purchase or entitlement mechanisms, or to interfere with the App’s or Apple’s systems.
6. Intellectual Property
The App and its original content, features, and functionality are and remain the exclusive property of the Developer and its licensors, protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. These Terms grant you no rights in our trademarks or trade dress.
7. Disclaimers
THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at any particular time; that defects will be corrected; or that media synchronization, metadata, or exported results will be accurate or fit for any particular post-production workflow. You are responsible for verifying output. Availability of purchases depends on Apple and on our subscription provider, which are outside our control. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you.
8. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE DEVELOPER BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE APP, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE EXTENT LIABILITY CANNOT BE EXCLUDED, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including your mandatory statutory consumer rights.
9. Apple App Store — Additional Terms
The following apply because the App is licensed through the Apple App Store and are required by Apple. In them, “Application” means the App and “you” means the end user.
- Acknowledgement. These Terms are between you and the Developer only, and not with Apple. The Developer, not Apple, is solely responsible for the Application and its content.
- Scope of license. Your license is limited to a non-transferable license to use the Application on Apple-branded products you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
- Maintenance and support. The Developer is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support for the Application. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support services.
- Warranty. The Developer is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If the Application fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any) for the Application; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Application.
- Product claims. The Developer, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims relating to the Application or your use of it, including product-liability claims, claims that the Application fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and claims under consumer-protection or similar law.
- Intellectual property claims. In the event of any third-party claim that the Application or your use of it infringes that party’s intellectual property rights, the Developer, not Apple, is solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of such claim.
- Legal compliance. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as “terrorist supporting,” and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Third-party beneficiary. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance, Apple has the right (and is deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you.
- Developer contact. Questions, complaints, or claims regarding the Application should be directed to support@msynctool.com.
10. Termination
You may stop using the App at any time. We may suspend or terminate your license if you materially breach these Terms or use the App in a way that risks harm to us, to Apple, or to others; where practicable we will give notice first. The provisions that by their nature should survive (including Sections 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 11) survive termination.
11. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Ukraine, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, except that mandatory consumer-protection rights of your country of residence continue to apply. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
12. Changes
We may modify these Terms. If a change is material, we will provide reasonable notice (and update the “Last updated” date). Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
