Legal

Terms & Conditions

Last updated: May 16, 2026

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the ShintTools website, plugins (Unreal Engine and Unity), client dashboard, APIs and related services (collectively, the "Service") operated by ShintTools ("we", "us", "our"). By creating an account, installing a plugin or otherwise using the Service you agree to these Terms.

1. The Service

ShintTools provides deterministic automation tooling for game development studios: an asset naming bot, a code validator, a predictive profiler and a texture/LOD auditor. The Service is delivered as engine plugins that run locally inside the Unreal Editor or Unity Editor, plus an optional cloud dashboard for license management, reports and an AI assistant.

Local plugin processing runs entirely on your hardware. No source code or asset binaries are transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly upload a report.

2. Accounts

  • You must be at least 18 years old or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction.
  • You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and API keys.
  • You agree to provide accurate, current information and to notify us of any unauthorized access.
  • One account per natural person. Studio accounts may invite additional seats up to the limit of the plan.

3. Plans, billing and refunds

  • Free — €0, perpetual, limited to one engine and 500 asset scans per month.
  • Indie — €39/month or €390/year, up to 5 seats.
  • Studio — €149/month or €1,490/year, up to 50 seats (availability is rolling out).
  • Enterprise — custom contracts from €9,900/year.

Paid plans renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled before renewal. You can cancel at any time from the dashboard; access continues until the end of the period already paid. Prices are in Euros and exclude VAT where applicable. We do not offer pro-rated refunds for partial periods, except where required by mandatory consumer-protection laws (EU consumers retain the 14-day right of withdrawal where applicable; using the Service constitutes a request to begin performance immediately and may waive this right per Directive 2011/83/EU).

4. License grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and timely payment of the applicable fees, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the plugins and access the dashboard solely for your internal game development purposes and within the seat count of your plan.

You may not:

  • Reverse-engineer, decompile or attempt to derive source code from the Service.
  • Resell, sublicense, rent, lease or redistribute the Service to third parties.
  • Remove or alter proprietary notices.
  • Use the Service to build a competing product.
  • Exceed the seat or scan limits of your plan via automation or sharing of credentials.

5. Your content and IP

You retain all rights to your source code, assets, projects and any data processed by the plugins locally. We claim no ownership over your IP. Reports you choose to upload to the dashboard remain yours; we host them on your behalf and process them only to provide the Service.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • Violate any law or third-party right (including IP and privacy rights).
  • Transmit malware or attempt to compromise the security of the Service.
  • Process material that is illegal, harmful or that you do not have rights to.
  • Interfere with other customers' use of the Service.

7. Privacy

We process personal data (account email, name, billing details, login telemetry) as described in our Privacy Notice. Local plugin telemetry is anonymous aggregates (counts of scans, rule hits) and never includes source code or asset binaries. We rely on Supabase, Stripe and Cloudflare as sub-processors.

8. Third-party services

The dashboard's AI Assistant routes prompts to third-party model providers (currently Google Gemini and OpenAI via Lovable AI Gateway). Do not paste confidential code into the assistant if your studio NDA prohibits transmission to third parties. The offline plugins do not use these providers.

9. Beta features

Features labelled "beta", "preview" or "coming soon" are provided as-is, may change or be removed without notice, and are not covered by any SLA.

10. Warranty disclaimer

Except for non-waivable statutory warranties, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error free or that defects will be corrected.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability arising out of or related to the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or €100 if no fees were paid. We shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, goodwill or business interruption. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.

12. Indemnification

You agree to defend and indemnify ShintTools against claims arising from your misuse of the Service, your content, or your violation of these Terms or any third-party right.

13. Termination

You may terminate your account at any time from the dashboard. We may suspend or terminate your access immediately if you breach these Terms, fail to pay, or use the Service in a way that creates risk for us or other users. Upon termination your license to the Service ends and you must uninstall the plugins; sections that by their nature should survive (IP, disclaimers, liability, governing law) will survive.

14. Changes to the Service and Terms

We may update the Service and these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be notified by email or a prominent in-product notice at least 15 days before they take effect. Continued use after that date constitutes acceptance.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Spain, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Disputes shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Madrid, Spain, except where a mandatory consumer-protection rule grants you the right to sue or be sued in your country of residence.
