Terms of use
Last updated: October 18, 2026
By using Stone Scout you agree to these terms. JoB Orange Marketing ("we") provides the app.
What the app does, and what it does not
Stone Scout gives estimates about what a rock, mineral or gem might be, based on a photo. It can be wrong. It is for curiosity, education and hobby use. It does not give valuations, appraisals, safety or legal advice. Before you buy, sell, insure or rely on any identification, ask a qualified expert or a recognized gem laboratory.
Safety
Some minerals are hazardous to handle, cut, heat or breathe as dust. Safety notes in the app are general information. Follow them, use common sense, and keep minerals away from children and pets. Do not cut, grind, burn or taste unknown specimens. Check local rules before collecting rocks, fossils or meteorites, especially on public or protected land.
No medical or healing claims
Birthstones, zodiac stones and stories about stones are traditions and beliefs. They are not scientific facts and are not medical advice.
Subscriptions and purchases
- Unlimited scanning is available as an auto-renewing subscription or as a one-time lifetime purchase. The price, billing period and any free trial are shown in the app and on the App Store before you buy. Prices may vary by country and may change.
- Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase or at the end of any free trial. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the period.
- Manage or cancel in your Apple ID account settings. Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies. Any unused part of a free trial ends when you buy a subscription.
Your content
Your photos and collection are yours. You give us permission to process the photos you scan only as needed to identify them (see the privacy policy). Only scan photos you have the right to use.
Fair use
Do not misuse the service: no automated scanning, no attempts to bypass limits, copy the service, break or overload it. We may limit or stop access if the service is abused.
Our content
The app, its texts, design and library are owned by us or our licensors. Do not copy them. You may use the app for your own personal, non-commercial purposes.
Availability and changes
We aim to keep the app working, but cannot promise it will always be available or error-free. We may change or discontinue features.
Liability
The app is provided "as is". To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not responsible for losses caused by relying on an identification, or for indirect or consequential losses. Nothing here limits rights you have under law that cannot be limited.
Law
These terms are governed by the laws of Canada, except where your local consumer laws say otherwise.
