Terms of service

Last updated 28 August 2026

These terms cover your use of Stash, a paid iPhone app that organizes the TikTok videos you save into a searchable library. They are a contract between you and us, so they are worth the five minutes.

Accepting these terms

You accept these terms by signing in with Apple. There is no box to tick: the sign-in screen carries the line "By continuing you agree to the Terms and Privacy Policy", with both documents linked from it, and signing in is the act of agreeing. That screen is the only way into the app, so nobody reaches Stash without being shown it. If you do not accept these terms, do not sign in.

The service

Stash organizes the TikTok videos you save into a searchable library: recipes become recipe cards, music becomes a track list, how-to videos become summaries. Videos reach Stash in two ways, both of them started by you — sharing a video into the app from TikTok's share sheet, or importing the data export you request from TikTok yourself. Stash is for your personal, non-commercial use.

Stash is distributed through the App Store for iPhone, and it needs iOS 17 or later. The summaries and categories are produced by a language model and are regularly wrong — treat them as a convenience, never as a source of truth, and never as advice about anything that matters. If a recipe card names an ingredient, check the video. Software changes: features may be added, altered or withdrawn, and we may pause or shut the service down. Where a change would materially reduce what you paid for, we will tell you in the app before it takes effect.

Your account

Stash accounts use Sign in with Apple and nothing else. One account per person. You are responsible for what happens under your account and for keeping your Apple ID secure — we have no password to reset and no way to recover an account you lose access to.

You must be at least 16 years old to use Stash.

Paying for Stash

Stash requires Stash Pro, an auto-renewing subscription. It costs €2.99 per month (or the equivalent Apple price in your storefront — the exact amount is shown in the app before you confirm). One subscription covers one Apple ID; it is not shared with Family Sharing.

Apple is the seller: you buy from Apple, Apple takes the payment and issues the receipt, and Apple's own terms govern that transaction. We never see your card details.

Renewal. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically each month unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the current period ends, and your Apple ID is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before that. Manage or cancel it at any time in Settings → your name → Subscriptions, or in the App Store app. Cancelling stops the next charge; you keep Stash Pro until the period you have already paid for runs out.

If you bought Stash 1.0 outright, before it moved to a subscription, you keep it. That purchase is permanent, it covers the same features, and you will never be asked to subscribe. If a reinstall ever shows you a subscription screen anyway, tap “Restore purchases”, and write to us if that does not fix it.

When a subscription ends, your library stays on your device and everything already in it remains readable and searchable. What stops is adding new videos and the analysis that goes with them. Nothing is deleted because you stopped paying; to remove your data, use “Delete account” in the app.

Refunds and cancellation are handled by Apple, not by us. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com using the Apple ID you bought with. If you are an EU or UK consumer, your statutory right to withdraw from a distance purchase is exercised through Apple as the seller, on the terms you accepted at purchase. We cannot grant, refuse or reverse a refund on Apple's behalf — but if something is broken, tell us, because we would like to fix it.

Price changes. If the subscription price goes up, Apple will ask you to agree before the new price is charged; if you do not, the subscription simply ends at the next renewal.

Quotas and fair use

Each account gets an initial import budget of 500 videos, and 100 additional videos per calendar month after that. The counter is visible in the app. Unused monthly allowance does not roll over. When you hit the ceiling, your existing library keeps working and new imports wait until the next month. These numbers exist because every import costs us real money in transcription and analysis; if they ever change, we will tell you in the app first. Automating Stash, running it against accounts that are not yours, or working around the quota gets your access removed.

Your TikTok account and your data

Your TikTok account is yours to look after. You are responsible for complying with TikTok's own terms and with any law that applies to you. Use Stash only with data you are actually entitled to access — your own Favourites — and only for lawful, personal purposes. Exporting your data from TikTok is something you do inside TikTok; if TikTok changes how that works, or stops offering it, Stash may stop working and that is outside our control.

Other people's videos

The videos in your library were made by other people and belong to them. Stash builds a private working copy of what you saved — captions, transcripts, summaries — for your own use. It does not give you any rights in that content. Do not republish it, redistribute it, or pass off a creator's work as your own.

Acceptable use

Do not use Stash to break the law, to harass anyone, to build datasets about other people, to scrape TikTok at scale, to attack or probe our servers, to work around the quota, or to resell access. We will cut off server-side access for any of these, and doing so does not entitle you to a refund.

Not affiliated with TikTok

Stash is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by TikTok or ByteDance. "TikTok" is a trademark of its respective owner and is used here only to describe how the app works. The same goes for Apple and Spotify.

Your data

What we collect, where it is processed, who else touches it and how to delete it is set out in our privacy policy. Read it — it is the more important of these two documents.

Ending it

You can delete your account from inside the app at any time, which ends this agreement and removes your data as described in the privacy policy. We can suspend or end your access if you breach these terms, or if we shut the service down. Where we can give you notice and a chance to export your library first, we will.

Provided as is

Stash is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that any organization, transcript or summary it produces will be accurate or complete.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, Stash — including lost or corrupted library data. Keep your own copy of anything you cannot afford to lose; the export feature is there for exactly that.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury, for intent or conscious recklessness (opzet of bewuste roekeloosheid), or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded. If you are a consumer, your mandatory rights under Dutch and EU consumer law apply in full and these terms do not cut them down.

Changes

We may update these terms and will post the new version on this page with an updated date. Material changes are announced in the app before they take effect, and continuing to use Stash after that is how you accept them — the same continuation that accepted them in the first place. If you do not accept them, delete your account.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of the Netherlands. Disputes go to the competent court in Zeeland-West-Brabant, the Netherlands. If you are a consumer resident in the EU, this does not affect your right under Article 18 of Regulation (EU) 1215/2012 to bring proceedings in the courts where you are domiciled, or your right to be sued only there.

We are not affiliated with any alternative dispute resolution body and are not obliged to use one.
