Terms of service

Who operates this service

Tapbound is operated by SkyWay Mark Trading Ventures (TapBound.com), registered at Sixth Floor, 602, Shivam Raj Residency, Ranjan Path, near Panch Mandir, Danapur, Patna - 801503, Bihar, India (“we”, “us”, or “Tapbound”). By creating an account or using this service, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

The service

Tapbound converts websites you own or are authorised to convert into native Android (aab) and iOS (ipa) application binaries. You download the finished files and distribute them yourself under your own developer accounts. A dashboard lets you manage builds, runtime configuration changes, and integrations.

At launch, Tapbound delivers compiled binary files only. A publishing add-on [beta], available in the dashboard, assists with App Store and Google Play submission; it is subject to separate terms disclosed before purchase.

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to create an account. By registering, you confirm you meet this requirement. We do not knowingly accept accounts from minors.

Your account

You are responsible for all activity under your account. Keep your password secure; use a password you do not share with other services. Notify us immediately at [email protected] if you believe your account has been compromised.

Your website: ownership and authorization warranty

You strictly warrant and represent that you are the lawful owner of the source domain, or hold verifiable written authorization from the lawful owner to convert the website into a mobile application. By submitting any URL to Tapbound, you warrant that the content is lawful and does not infringe any third-party trademark, copyright, or proprietary right.

Converting unauthorized third-party websites (including social media sites, banking portals, payment services, streaming platforms, or competitor sites) is strictly prohibited and constitutes a material breach of these Terms, resulting in immediate termination and forfeiture of all fees.

Prohibited schemes and fraud

Tapbound maintains a zero-tolerance policy for fraudulent, deceptive, or scam applications. You must not use the service to generate apps that promote “easy money” schemes, unlicensed investment programs, high-yield investment programs (HYIP), multi-level marketing (MLM), pyramid schemes, unlicensed gambling/betting, cryptocurrency scams, or phishing portals.

Tapbound reserves the absolute right to refuse builds, suspend accounts, and permanently delete apps that violate these standards. Violations of anti-fraud standards result in immediate permanent account termination with no right to a refund, and we reserve the right to preserve and provide relevant logs, IP addresses, and timestamps to cybercrime law enforcement authorities.

Acceptable use

Your use is additionally governed by the Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms. Violation of that policy is an immediate violation of these Terms.

Fees and billing

Tapbound sells one-time, per-app products: an app build (one-time, per app), an Engagement pack (one-time, per app, sold at build time), and rebuild credits (each consumed by one rebuild request). Builds are produced once an order for the app is confirmed. There is no recurring subscription. A purchase applies only to the app identified at checkout and grants nothing beyond it.

Prices are displayed at checkout before any payment is taken. Billing is processed by Paddle.com Market Limited (“Paddle”), our authorized Merchant of Record. Paddle’s terms and privacy policy apply to the payment transaction. By completing a purchase you enter into a contract with Paddle, not directly with Tapbound, for the payment itself.

Tapbound acts as the licensed software provider. All product entitlements are governed by these Terms, regardless of which entity processes the payment.

Refunds and forfeiture

Refunds are governed by the Refund Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms. Where an account is suspended or terminated for fraud, phishing, scam operations, malicious content, or material breach of our Acceptable Use Policy, all fees paid are non-refundable and forfeited in full to offset administrative and platform protection costs.

EU and UK consumers retain statutory rights where applicable. Nothing in these Terms limits mandatory statutory consumer protection rights.

Build processing, failure verification, and 24-hour delivery window

Most mobile application builds compile automatically and become available for download within minutes. However, native compilation depends on multi-stage build pipelines, external compiler toolchains, operating system SDKs, and source website asset loading.

Disclaimer and 24-Hour Delivery Commitment: In the event that an automated build fails, stalls, or encounters an unexpected technical exception during compilation, Tapbound reserves an operational window of up to 24 hours from the time of the failure notification to manually investigate, troubleshoot, re-compile, and deliver the completed application binaries to your dashboard.

An initial automated compilation failure does not constitute an abandonment of service or a breach of contract. During this 24-hour verification window, our technical team reviews build diagnostics, resolves pipeline or dependency conflicts, and ensures that the generated binaries meet packaging standards. If, following manual review and re-attempt within 24 hours, Tapbound is unable to produce a working build due to an unresolvable platform fault, your build credit will be fully refunded in accordance with our Refund Policy.

Platform signing and credential requirements

Android (.aab): Tapbound provides automated cryptographic Keystore generation and signing by default. You may optionally upload your own custom Android Keystore in the dashboard.

iOS (.ipa): In accordance with Apple Inc. security and distribution policies, compiling a native iOS application package (.ipa) strictly requires cryptographic signing credentials issued directly to the customer’s Apple Developer account ($99/year charged by Apple). Customers must upload their valid Apple Distribution Certificate (.p12 + password) and Provisioning Profile in the dashboard’s Integrations tab for iOS builds to compile. Tapbound never signs customer iOS applications with its own identity.

Intellectual property and watermarks

You retain all rights to your website content, branding assets, and app listings. Tapbound retains all rights to the platform software, conversion tooling, template code, and binary architecture.

Paid builds are produced once an order is confirmed and carry no watermark. If Tapbound ever produces a build without payment (for example an operator-granted exception or a legacy allocation), that binary may incorporate a proprietary Tapbound branding badge / watermark, and you agree not to reverse-engineer, decompile, deobfuscate, patch, or remove it. Watermark removal is available exclusively through a valid paid app purchase.

You grant Tapbound a limited license to process and package your website content solely to perform the conversion and deliver the requested build.

Affiliate program

The Tapbound partner program pays a commission (default 20%) on qualifying paid purchases attributed to an approved affiliate’s referral link within the attribution window (default 60 days). The program is described on the partner program page, which is incorporated into these Terms.

Self-referrals are prohibited. An affiliate may not earn commission on their own purchases or on purchases made by accounts they control. Commission on a purchase that is later refunded or charged back is voided. Tapbound may suspend or close any affiliate account, and withhold accrued commission, for self-referral, spam, fraudulent activity, or breach of the program terms.

Third-party services and store approvals

Integrations such as Firebase, OneSignal, AdMob, AppLovin, Amplitude, and PostHog run on credentials you create and provide. Their terms apply independently.

Apple Inc. and Google LLC operate with sole, unilateral discretion regarding store review guidelines, developer accounts, app acceptance, and ongoing marketplace availability. Tapbound is an automated compiler and packaging utility providing binary files only. Tapbound does not, cannot, and will not guarantee third-party store approval, review outcomes, or ongoing availability in any app marketplace. You acknowledge and agree that store rejection, delisting, developer account review delays, or app removal by Apple or Google does not constitute a defect in Tapbound services and does not entitle you to any refund, compensation, or damages.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Tapbound, its operators, parent company, directors, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, or debt, and expenses (including legal fees) arising from: (a) your use of the service; (b) any application built from your source website; (c) your violation of any term of these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy; or (d) your infringement or violation of any third-party right, including copyright, trademark, trade secret, privacy, publicity, or proprietary right.

Account suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate access immediately without prior notice for any suspected fraud, deceptive behavior, malicious site conversion, or material breach of these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy. You may appeal a suspension through [email protected].

You may delete your account at any time from your settings dashboard. On deletion, data handling follows the Privacy Policy.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Tapbound’s total aggregate liability to you for any and all claims arising under or related to these Terms, the service, or any compiled application binary shall be strictly limited to and shall not exceed the actual amount paid by you to Tapbound for the specific build transaction giving rise to the claim (e.g. USD 19.99).

Tapbound is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of revenue, loss of profits, loss of goodwill, loss of business reputation, or loss of data, arising from your use of the service, a store rejection, developer account suspension, or a store’s later removal of your app. Nothing in this clause limits liability for death, personal injury, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.

Disclaimers

The service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We expressly disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and title. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free, or that any build will be accepted by an app store or operate without interruption on all device hardware or operating system versions.

Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute arising shall first be submitted to good-faith negotiation. If unresolved within 30 days, disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of jurisdiction, unless consumer protection law in your country gives you the right to bring proceedings in your local courts, in which case that right is unaffected.

If you are an EU consumer, you may also use the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

Changes to these Terms

We will give at least 30 days’ notice of material changes by email (to the address on your account) and by posting the revised Terms on this page with an updated date. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not accept the revised Terms, you may close your account before they take effect.
