Terms of Service

Last updated: 8 August 2026 · SUDO Technology LTD

These terms govern your use of the KeywordScope application and this website. By downloading, installing or subscribing, you agree to them.

1. Who we are

The information below is provided under the Bulgarian Electronic Commerce Act and Article 5 of Directive 2000/31/EC.

In these terms, "we", "us" and "our" mean SUDO Technology LTD; "you" means the person or organisation using the software. "Consumer" has the meaning given by the Bulgarian Consumer Protection Act — broadly, a person acting outside their trade or profession.

2. Licence

We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use KeywordScope on Macs you own or control, for your own business or personal purposes, for as long as these terms are observed.

You may not:

• redistribute, resell or sublicense the software;
• reverse-engineer, decompile or disassemble it, except to the extent that law expressly permits despite this restriction;
• remove or alter any proprietary notices;
• circumvent or interfere with the licensing mechanism.

The software is licensed, not sold. We retain all intellectual property rights in it.

3. Your data

Data you create in the application is stored on your own computer and remains yours. We claim no rights over it. We do not have access to it, and we cannot recover it if you lose it — keeping backups is your responsibility, and the application includes a backup feature for that purpose.

4. Subscriptions and payment

KeywordScope offers a permanent free tier and a paid subscription. Current prices are shown on our pricing page and exclude any applicable sales tax or VAT, which is calculated at checkout.

Payments are processed by Paddle.com Market Limited, which acts as merchant of record for all purchases. Your contract of sale for the subscription is with Paddle. Paddle's buyer terms apply to the transaction in addition to these terms.

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period until cancelled. You may cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for, and the application enters its read-only mode thereafter.

Refunds are governed by our Refund Policy.

5. Your right of withdrawal, if you are a consumer

If you are a consumer in the European Economic Area, you have a statutory right to withdraw from a distance contract within 14 days, under Directive 2011/83/EU as implemented by the Bulgarian Consumer Protection Act. You do not have to give a reason. The period runs from the day the contract is concluded, which for a subscription is the day your payment is taken.

The law allows a trader to extinguish that right for digital content supplied immediately, if the consumer expressly consents to immediate supply and acknowledges losing the right. We do not ask you to do that. You keep the full 14 days whether or not you have downloaded, installed or used the software.

To withdraw, send an unambiguous statement to support@keywordscope.app before the 14 days expire — an email saying you wish to withdraw is enough. You may use the model withdrawal form annexed to the Directive, but you are not obliged to. We will acknowledge receipt without delay, and all payments you made for the subscription will be reimbursed within 14 days of us being informed, using the same means of payment you used, at no cost to you. The reimbursement is issued by Paddle as merchant of record; arranging that is our responsibility, not yours.

Our Refund Policy sits alongside this and in places goes further than the law requires. Nothing in it limits your statutory rights.

6. What happens when a subscription ends

When a subscription lapses or is cancelled, the application enters read-only mode. All data you have already collected remains visible and exportable, regardless of how much of it there is. What stops is the collection of new data and the addition of new keywords. We do not delete your data and we do not withhold access to it.

7. Third-party data sources

KeywordScope retrieves information from Apple's public App Store endpoints and, if you connect your own account, from the Apple Search Ads API. We do not control those services. Their availability, accuracy, structure and terms are Apple's, not ours, and they may change or be withdrawn without notice.

You are responsible for ensuring your use of those services complies with Apple's own terms, including where you supply your own Apple Search Ads credentials.

KeywordScope is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or connected to Apple Inc. App Store, Apple Search Ads, macOS, iOS, iPadOS and visionOS are trademarks of Apple Inc.

8. Accuracy

Rankings, ratings, difficulty scores and popularity figures are derived from third-party sources and from our own calculations. They are provided for information. We take care to represent uncertainty honestly — where the application does not know something, it says so rather than estimating — but we do not warrant that any figure is complete, current or free of error, and business decisions you take on the basis of them are your own.

9. Availability

The application runs locally and does not require our servers to function, other than for periodic licence verification. We aim to keep that service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted operation. If it cannot be reached, the application continues to work.

10. Warranties and liability

If you are a consumer, read this first. Directive (EU) 2019/770 gives you a legal guarantee that digital content and digital services conform to the contract. Bulgaria implements it in the Act on the Provision of Digital Content and Digital Services and the Sale of Goods. That guarantee applies whatever the rest of this section says. If KeywordScope does not conform, you are entitled to have it brought into conformity, and to a price reduction or termination if we fail to do so. Nothing below excludes or limits that, and nothing below applies to you where it would.

Otherwise, and to business users in particular: the software is provided "as is". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all implied warranties, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability arising out of or in connection with these terms, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, is limited to the amount you paid for your KeywordScope subscription in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, whether that payment was made to us or to Paddle on our behalf. We are not liable for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data or indirect or consequential loss.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected.

11. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your licence if you materially breach these terms, including by circumventing the licensing mechanism or redistributing the software. Where the breach is capable of remedy, we will give you a reasonable opportunity to remedy it first.

Termination does not take your data away from you. Section 6 stands whatever happens here: the application remains able to display and export everything you have already collected. We will not use suspension or termination as a way to cut you off from your own records, and if a termination ever made that impossible we would give you a working means of exporting first.

You may stop using the software at any time. Uninstalling it does not automatically cancel a subscription — cancel through your account or through Paddle.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If a change materially affects your rights, we will notify subscribers by email at least 30 days before it takes effect, and you may reject it by cancelling before that date — in which case we will refund the unused part of the period you have paid for, pro rata. If you continue to use the software after the change takes effect, that counts as acceptance. We will not make a material change without giving you that choice.

13. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of Bulgaria. The courts of Bulgaria have jurisdiction.

If you are a consumer, that is subject to two things the law does not let us contract away. You keep the protection of the mandatory consumer rules of the country where you habitually reside, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of that country as well as in Bulgaria — Regulation (EU) 1215/2012 and Regulation (EC) 593/2008.

Before going to court

Please write to support@keywordscope.app first. Most complaints are settled in one exchange, and we would rather refund someone than argue with them.

If that does not resolve it and you are a consumer, you may complain to the Bulgarian Commission for Consumer Protection, or refer the dispute to the general conciliation commissions (помирителни комисии) that sit at the Commission and handle disputes of this kind. We have not committed in advance to any single alternative dispute resolution body and are not obliged to participate, but if you propose one we will consider it in good faith.

Consumers outside Bulgaria but inside the EU can also get free help from their national European Consumer Centre, through the ECC-Net.

The European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform was discontinued on 20 July 2025, so there is no ODR link here. Any site still showing one is pointing you at a service that no longer exists.
