Terms

These terms apply when you buy or use Pinhop, the Mac app sold at pinhop.net. Pinhop is made and sold by Patrick Lynch, a sole proprietor based in the United States (“Pinhop”, “we”, “us”). By buying or using Pinhop you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy.

What you get

• A personal license to install and use Pinhop on the Macs you own or control, with as many of your own devices as you like.
• Updates for Pinhop 1.x at no extra cost, when we release them.
• Requirements: macOS 14+ · Apple Silicon · iOS 17.4+ · Android 12+. Check them before you buy; the 14-day refund below still covers you if it doesn’t work for you.
• You may not resell, share or redistribute Pinhop or your download link, or remove its copyright notices.

Price and payment

• Pinhop costs $19 (US dollars) once, plus any sales tax or VAT shown at checkout. There’s no subscription.
• Pinhop is sold through Link, Stripe’s checkout service, which acts as the reseller: Link charges you, handles sales tax and VAT, and Link’s terms and privacy policy also apply to your purchase. In some countries checkout shows and charges your local currency at the exchange rate displayed.
• After paying you get a download page. It stays valid, so bookmark it to download again later.

14-day refund

If Pinhop doesn’t work for you, or you simply change your mind, ask for a refund within 14 days of buying through the contact form, using the email address from your receipt. You don’t need to give a reason. This includes, and goes beyond, the right of withdrawal consumers have in the EU and the UK.

Use Pinhop responsibly

Pinhop is built for testing location-based apps, demos, screenshots and protecting your own privacy. You are responsible for how you use it:

• Follow the law and the terms of the apps and services you use. Many games, dating apps and delivery or ride apps forbid faking your location and may suspend accounts that do.
• Don’t use Pinhop to deceive or harm anyone, to commit fraud, or to get around location-based restrictions you are legally bound by.
• Use Pinhop only with devices you own or are allowed to manage.

How it works, and its limits

Pinhop uses the developer location tools built into iOS and Android. iPhones and iPads need Developer Mode turned on; Android phones need USB debugging. Apple or Google may change these tools in a future system update, which could stop Pinhop working until we update it. Pinhop is not made by, endorsed by or affiliated with Apple or Google.

Availability and liability

We work to make Pinhop reliable, but we provide it “as is” and can’t promise it will work with every device, app or system version. To the extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for indirect or consequential losses, including anything an app or service does to your account because you changed your location, and our total liability to you is limited to what you paid for Pinhop. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have as a consumer that can’t be limited by contract under the law of the country where you live.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We’ll change the date at the top; the terms in place when you bought Pinhop apply to that purchase.
