Terms of Service
Last updated: April 17, 2026
Overview
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Skopia, a macOS menu bar application that reminds you to blink ("the App"), and the website getskopia.com ("the Website"). By purchasing or using Skopia, you agree to these Terms.
The short version: Skopia is a one-time-purchase app. You own your copy. We respect your privacy. If something goes wrong in the first 30 days, we will refund you.
Who We Are
Skopia is operated by Maksym Yankevych, a self-employed individual registered in Cyprus.

License
When you purchase Skopia, you receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the App on macOS devices owned or controlled by you for personal or commercial use. Skopia does not use license keys or activation — your purchase grants you the right to use the App, and we rely on the honor system.
You may:
- Install and use Skopia on your own Macs
- Use Skopia in your work or business
You may not:
- Redistribute, resell, or sublicense Skopia
- Share your download link or installer publicly
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or modify the App except as permitted by law
- Remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or proprietary notices
- Use Skopia in ways that violate applicable laws
Purchase and Pricing
Skopia is available as a one-time purchase through:
- Direct download via Lemon Squeezy at getskopia.com
- Mac App Store (when available)
Prices are displayed at the point of purchase. All prices include applicable taxes where required.
Lemon Squeezy acts as the Merchant of Record for direct sales. Apple acts as the Merchant of Record for App Store sales. These third parties handle payment processing and tax compliance.
Refund Policy
We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee for direct purchases through Lemon Squeezy. If Skopia does not work for you for any reason within 30 days of purchase, email support@getskopia.com with your purchase details, and we will issue a full refund.
For App Store purchases, refunds are handled by Apple according to their refund policy.
Future Updates
Version 2.0 Upgrade
Customers who purchase Skopia Version 1.x will receive Version 2.0 (which introduces on-device blink detection using the camera) as a free upgrade. This commitment applies to purchases made through both direct download and the Mac App Store.
Other Updates
We may release updates, bug fixes, and new features from time to time. We are not obligated to provide updates indefinitely, but we intend to support Skopia as an actively maintained product.
Future major versions beyond v2.0 may be released as separate paid products. We will communicate pricing and upgrade terms clearly in advance.
Warranty and Liability
Skopia is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. While we design Skopia carefully and test it thoroughly, we cannot guarantee it will be free from bugs, errors, or interruptions.
Skopia is a reminder tool, not a medical device. It is designed to help encourage healthy blinking habits while using a computer. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice. If you experience persistent eye strain, dry eyes, or vision problems, consult a qualified eye care professional.
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
- We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages
- Our total liability for any claim related to Skopia shall not exceed the amount you paid for your license
- Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by applicable law (including liability for death, personal injury due to negligence, or fraud)
User Conduct
When using Skopia or getskopia.com, you agree not to:
- Use the App or Website in a way that could harm other users or third parties
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems
- Interfere with the normal operation of the App or Website
- Use the App or Website to violate applicable laws
Privacy
Your privacy matters. See our Privacy Policy for details on what data we collect (very little) and how we handle it.
Intellectual Property
The Skopia name, logo, design, and source code are the property of Maksym Yankevych. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our trademarks or branding.
Termination
You may stop using Skopia at any time by uninstalling the App.
We may terminate your license if you materially breach these Terms, including by violating the license restrictions or engaging in fraud. If we terminate for such a reason, no refund will be given.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Cyprus. Any disputes shall be resolved in the competent courts of Cyprus, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protection rights you may have under the laws of your country of residence.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be noted with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of Skopia after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
If you disagree with material changes, your remedy is to stop using Skopia.
