CrossPaste Mobile Terms of Service
Effective Date: May 1, 2026 Last Updated: May 1, 2026
Welcome to CrossPaste Mobile!
The CrossPaste mobile application ("the App") is developed and operated by Shenzhen Compile Future Technology Co., Ltd. ("we," "us," "our," or "SCF"). This agreement governs the CrossPaste mobile builds for Android, iOS, and HarmonyOS. The desktop edition's terms of service and its open-source statement are available in the CrossPaste Terms of Service; the AGPL license that applies to the desktop edition does not apply to this App.
By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by all terms of this agreement. If you do not agree to any part, please stop using and uninstall the App immediately.
1. Acceptance and Eligibility
- You must have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement.
- If you are under 18, please review this agreement together with your parent or guardian and obtain their consent before using the App, especially before any in-app purchase.
- Where applicable, you confirm that the payment information you provide is true, accurate, and complete.
2. Service and Operation
- Client-Tool Nature: The App is a clipboard manager and multi-device sync client. Its main functions run on your device and within your local network.
- Core Features: Clipboard history, cross-device LAN synchronization, content search, and Pro membership premium features (as shown in the App).
- Operating Mechanism: Clipboard contents are end-to-end encrypted between paired devices on your local network and do not pass through our cloud servers.
- Closed Source: The App is closed-source software owned by SCF. The GNU Affero General Public License v3 applied to the desktop edition does not apply to the App's client code.
- Service Changes: We may adjust, optimize, or terminate features at our discretion based on product roadmap, applicable law, or third-party platform policies.
3. Membership Service Agreement
This section governs the subscription, use, and management of CrossPaste membership services (the "Membership Service"). It applies to all versions distributed via Mainland-China Android channels (including but not limited to the OPPO, Huawei, Xiaomi, vivo, and Tencent app stores), Huawei AppGallery (HarmonyOS edition), Google Play, and the iOS App Store.
【Please carefully read all terms of this section before purchasing or activating any membership service, especially the bolded or bracketed clauses concerning payment, auto-renewal, refunds, and device binding. Once you complete the membership order payment or activation, you are deemed to have read, understood, and accepted all terms of this section. If you do not agree with any part, please immediately stop activation or purchase.】
If you have limited capacity for civil conduct, you must read this section together with a guardian and obtain your guardian's prior consent before any purchase; special rules on payments by minors are set out in Section 3.6.
3.1 Free Tier and Pro Member Benefits
Free Tier: Any user who downloads and uses the App may use the following basic features free of charge; the Free tier displays banner ads on iOS and Google Play versions, while Mainland-China Android channel versions and the HarmonyOS edition show no ads (see Section 7):

- Clipboard Quick Access;
- Clipboard Keyboard (only available on Android and iOS);
- Home-Screen Widget;
- Data Import and Export;
- Clipboard Shortcuts (only available on iOS);
- Ad Removal (only available on Google Play and the iOS App Store; the Mainland-China Android channel versions and the HarmonyOS edition do not display advertisements and therefore do not include this benefit).
Adjustment of Benefits: We may, in light of product iteration, compliance requirements, or business adjustments, update the specific form and presentation of the Pro benefits described above. The actual feature list shown in the App shall prevail.
3.2 Orders and Billing
The billing rules differ across distribution channels. Please read the rule applicable to the version you use:
| Channel | Billing Model | Payment Method | Management |
|---|---|---|---|
| iOS (App Store) | Auto-renewing subscription | Apple In-App Purchase | iOS Settings → your Apple ID at the top → Subscriptions |
| Android — Google Play | Auto-renewing subscription | Google Play Billing | Google Play → profile picture → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions |
| Android — Mainland-China channels (OPPO, Huawei, Xiaomi, vivo, etc.) | One-time purchase | Alipay or WeChat Pay (your choice) | In-App "Pro page" — review expiration date and re-purchase |
| HarmonyOS — Huawei AppGallery | One-time purchase | Alipay or WeChat Pay (your choice) | In-App "Pro page" — review expiration date and re-purchase |
- Mainland-China Android channels and the HarmonyOS edition — one-time purchase: Three durations are available: 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months. The actual price (including original price and promotional price) shall be the amount displayed on the in-App purchase page at the time of purchase. 【No Auto-Renewal】 After the membership validity period expires, Pro benefits lapse automatically, and you must initiate a new purchase to continue enjoying them; because no recurring charge exists, you do not need to cancel anything and you will not be charged unexpectedly.
- iOS (App Store) — auto-renewing subscription: Uses Apple's Auto-Renewable Subscription model; fees are charged via your Apple ID. The specific subscription tiers, prices, and trial rules shall be those displayed on the App Store in-App purchase page.
- Android (Google Play) — auto-renewing subscription: Uses Google's Auto-Renewing Subscription model; fees are charged via your Google Play account. The specific subscription tiers and prices shall be those displayed on the Google Play in-App purchase page.
Payment and refund rules vary by channel and are governed by the applicable app store or third-party payment provider's own terms, to which you also agree when using the corresponding payment method (see Section 8). In scenarios such as order processing, payment channel integration, and subscription status verification, we will share with the necessary payment service providers, app stores, or entrusted processors only the minimum information required for processing the order; please see the CrossPaste Privacy Policy for details.
3.3 Auto-Renewal Rules
【Important Notice】This subsection applies only to auto-renewing subscriptions purchased via the iOS App Store and Google Play. It does not apply to one-time purchases on Mainland-China Android channels or the HarmonyOS edition.
- 【Automatic Renewal】 Within 24 hours before the end of your current subscription period, if you have not actively turned off auto-renewal, Apple or Google will, based on the subscription tier you selected, automatically deduct the next-period fee from your Apple ID or Google Play account, and your Pro benefits will continue seamlessly.
- 【Cancellation must be made at least 24 hours before expiration; otherwise the subscription will auto-renew】 To cancel auto-renewal, please use the following paths:
- iOS: iOS Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions → CrossPaste → Cancel Subscription;
- Google Play: Google Play → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → CrossPaste → Cancel Subscription.
- Benefits After Cancellation: After cancellation of auto-renewal, you may continue to use Pro features within the already-paid subscription period; thereafter the subscription will not renew, and you will no longer enjoy Pro benefits.
- Price Change Notice: If subscription prices change, Apple and Google will notify you in accordance with their respective platform rules, and you may decide whether to continue your subscription.
3.4 Device Authorization and Binding
【Important Notice】Different distribution channels use different membership entitlement models: Mainland-China Android channels and the HarmonyOS edition use the "device binding" model, while the iOS App Store and Google Play use the "account-based authorization" model. Please read the rule applicable to your channel.
Mainland-China Android channels and the HarmonyOS edition — device binding:
- 【Up to 3 devices per membership】 A single membership may be bound to up to 3 activated devices (Android or HarmonyOS devices) simultaneously, and Pro benefits are available on each bound device.
- 【Unbind Device】 When you have reached the 3-device limit and need to transfer Pro benefits to a new device, you may unbind one of the already-bound devices through the in-App "My → Membership → Unbind Device" function. Once unbinding takes effect, Pro benefits on that device will immediately lapse, and you may activate and bind on the new device.
- 【Restore Purchase】 When you change devices, uninstall and reinstall the App, or sign in for the first time on a new device, you may use the in-App "My → Membership → Restore Purchase" function to activate Pro benefits on the current device (using one binding slot) with the original purchase voucher. Restore Purchase does not extend the original membership validity period; it only restores Pro benefits within the remaining validity period.
- 【Anti-Abuse Limits】 For anti-abuse purposes, we may impose reasonable frequency limits on frequent unbinding/re-binding behavior within a short period of time, with corresponding notice in the App.
iOS App Store and Google Play — account-based authorization:
- 【Account-Based Entitlement】 Pro entitlement is tied to the Apple ID or Google account used at the time of subscription. You may enjoy Pro benefits on multiple devices signed in with the same account, without manually binding or unbinding devices in the App.
- 【Family Sharing】 To the extent that Apple or Google supports subscription sharing on their platforms, subscription entitlements may be shared with family members under Apple Family Sharing or Google Family Library; the applicable rules and scope are governed by the official policies of Apple or Google.
- 【Account Changes】 If you switch to a different Apple ID or Google account in the app store, Pro entitlement under the original account will not automatically transfer to the new account. Please continue to sign in with the account used at the time of purchase to retain the corresponding Pro benefits.
3.5 Validity Period and Expiry Handling
- Start of Validity Period: The membership validity period runs from the moment payment is completed and the system confirms successful payment, until 24:00 on the corresponding expiry date of the purchased tier.
- Mainland-China Android channels and the HarmonyOS edition (one-time purchase): After expiry, Pro benefits lapse automatically; the App will not auto-charge, and you must actively re-purchase to continue Pro benefits.
- iOS / Google Play (subscription model): If you have not turned off auto-renewal, the platform will automatically charge the next subscription period; if auto-renewal is off, the membership will lapse upon expiry of the current period.
- Data Retention: After expiry, your local data generated during the Pro period will not be deleted, but Pro-exclusive features will become unavailable, and the related entries will become upgrade prompts.
3.6 Protection of Minors in Payments
- 【Minors Under 8 Are Prohibited from Payment】 In accordance with Articles 19 and 20 of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China, minors under 8 years of age are prohibited from purchasing membership services. If such payment occurs, the guardian may contact us to request a refund.
- 【Minors Aged 8 to 18 Require Guardian Consent】 Minors aged 8 or above but under 18 must obtain prior consent from their guardian before purchasing membership services. Where payment is made without guardian consent, the guardian may assert relevant rights in accordance with the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Minors and other applicable laws.
- We encourage guardians to provide reasonable guidance and supervision for minors using the App, and to keep their own payment accounts, passwords, and verification methods safe to prevent unauthorized payments by minors.
3.7 Membership Service Usage Restrictions
In addition to the code of conduct in Section 6, in using the membership services you must also comply with the following:
- No Resale or Illegal Transfer: Do not, in any form, resell, lease, lend, or transfer the purchased membership account, activation voucher, or subscription benefits to any third party;
- No Commercial Resale: Do not use membership services for third-party-facing commercial resale, redistribution, or bundled sale;
- No Cracking of Billing Mechanisms: Do not decompile, reverse-engineer, bypass, crack, or create plugins/auxiliary tools that interfere with the App's billing system, activation mechanism, or device-binding mechanism;
- No Abuse of Restore/Unbind: Do not abuse the "Restore Purchase" or "Unbind Device" functions through false vouchers, forged device information, or other improper means in order to fraudulently obtain or repeatedly use membership benefits.
If you violate any of the above obligations, we reserve the right to take measures including but not limited to warnings, feature restrictions, termination of membership, and recovery of losses, and the paid membership fees will not be refunded.
4. Refunds
Refund eligibility, the application process, and processing time are described in the CrossPaste Refund Policy. Channel-specific notes:
- App Store / Google Play: Refunds are reviewed and processed directly by Apple or Google in accordance with their respective rules and must be requested through their official channels; SCF cannot approve them on your behalf. We will provide reasonable assistance to the extent permitted.
- Mainland-China channels and the HarmonyOS edition (Alipay / WeChat Pay): Refunds are handled by SCF. Membership services are virtual digital goods of a special nature; once payment is successful and no functional defect has occurred, we in principle do not provide refunds. If your account is incorrectly charged, the same order is paid for repeatedly, or the service is severely unavailable due to reasons attributable to us and cannot be repaired within a reasonable time, you may contact us via billing@crosspaste.com within 7 days from the date of payment. After receiving your application and the necessary supporting evidence, we will issue a determination within 7 working days and provide feedback; if approved, the corresponding amount will be refunded via the original payment path.
5. Intellectual Property
- Ownership of the App: The client code, binaries, UI design, icons, brand identity, official documentation, and related assets are owned by SCF and protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable laws.
- Difference from the Desktop Edition: Unlike the desktop edition, which is open-sourced under AGPL v3, the App is closed-source software. You may not decompile, reverse engineer, modify, redistribute, resell, or lease the App without written authorization.
- Membership Benefits License: The membership benefits you obtain pursuant to this agreement are merely a limited, revocable, non-transferable license for personal lawful use, and do not constitute any transfer or grant of the foregoing intellectual property rights.
- Third-Party Components: Open-source components used by the App are subject to their respective licenses. Notices are available inside the App at "About → Open-Source Licenses."
6. User Conduct
You agree to use the App lawfully and responsibly. In particular:
- Lawful Use: Do not use the App to sync, transmit, store, or distribute content that violates applicable laws or regulations, including content that infringes intellectual property, privacy, or reputation rights, or violates public order and morals.
- No Sync Abuse: Do not use the App for large-scale automated data exfiltration, spam, or to bypass copyright protection.
- System Security: Do not perform malicious attacks, distribute malware, plant malicious code, or attempt to bypass the App's security or billing mechanisms.
- Payment Integrity: Do not obtain Pro membership entitlements through deception, theft, or any unlawful means (see also Section 3.7).
If you breach any of the above, we may immediately restrict or terminate your access to relevant features and reserve all rights to pursue legal remedies.
7. Advertising Disclosure
- Free tier: Banner ads are shown on the iOS and Google Play Free tiers; Mainland-China Android channel versions (OPPO, Huawei, Xiaomi, vivo, etc.) show no ads. Worldwide channels (App Store outside China, Google Play) are served by Google AdMob; the iOS Mainland-China channel is served by Pangle.
- Pro: No ads on iOS, HarmonyOS, or any Android channel.
- HarmonyOS edition: The HarmonyOS edition distributed via Huawei AppGallery integrates no advertising SDK and shows no ads in either the Free tier or Pro.
Advertising content is provided by advertisers. Your interactions with advertisers and any resulting legal relationship are between you and the advertiser; SCF is not a party.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties
The App is provided "AS IS," without warranty of any kind, express or implied.
- Performance: We do not warrant that the App will run without error on every phone model, Android version, iOS version, or HarmonyOS version, nor do we warrant uninterrupted service.
- Data Risk: Although end-to-end encryption protects synchronization, we are not liable for data loss caused by force majeure, hardware failure, third-party SDK faults, or malicious third-party attacks.
- App-Store Policies: App-store removals, compliance demands, or fee changes may affect the availability or subscription terms of the App. SCF reserves the right to adjust the service as needed.
- Limitation of Liability: To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the App.

10. Modification and Termination
- Updates to This Agreement: We may revise this agreement from time to time. Revised terms will be posted here and signaled by an in-app notice or by an updated Effective Date. For material modifications affecting your substantive rights and obligations (including but not limited to payment methods, auto-renewal rules, refund rules, and device-binding rules), we will notify you through reasonable means such as prominent in-App prompts, pop-ups, or push notifications. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
- Service Suspension: We may suspend part or all of the service for technical reasons such as system upgrade, maintenance, or troubleshooting; where force majeure or third-party reasons (such as payment channel failure or app store review requirements) prevent normal provision of the service; or where required by laws, regulations, or regulatory authorities.
- Termination by Us: If you breach any term of this agreement, we may at any time restrict or terminate your access to some or all features, and in that case the paid membership fees will not be refunded. If the App is taken offline as a whole due to business adjustments, we will, in accordance with the principles of fairness, negotiate with you the disposition of membership benefits within the remaining validity period.
- Termination by You: You may terminate this agreement at any time by uninstalling the App or canceling your subscription. Already-paid, unconsumed billing periods are handled per Sections 3 and 4.
11. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
- Governing Law: This agreement is governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China (excluding the laws of Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan).
- Disputes: Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this agreement shall first be resolved through friendly negotiation. If negotiation fails, you agree to submit the dispute to the People's Court of Nanshan District, Shenzhen or another competent court at SCF's domicile.
