Terms of Use · HideNest

Using HideNest

HideNest: Leather Layout is a planning aid for small leather-goods workshops. It helps arrange measured pattern outlines on a traced remnant and export a printable guide. You are responsible for the accuracy of your measurements, material assessment, pattern dimensions and the way you use the result.

Your use of the iOS app is licensed under Apple’s Standard End User License Agreement. These product-specific terms explain the service and its limits; they do not replace rights you have under applicable consumer law.

Before marking or cutting

Check calibration against independent physical measurements. Use patterns at their final cutting size and supply any required allowance. HideNest does not evaluate leather strength, stretch, flaws you have not marked, or whether a grain direction is appropriate.

Print at 100% / Actual size and measure both 100 mm check bars and the assembled spans. Align the guide to the remnant and verify every placement with a physical template before marking or cutting. Do not rely on a guide that has the wrong scale or cannot be aligned reliably.

The local search is bounded and may leave pieces unplaced. It does not guarantee a globally optimal arrangement or prove that an unplaced pattern cannot fit. Digital geometry validation is not a guarantee of a physical cutting result.

Free tier and Pro Lifetime

The free tier permits one editable project and three library patterns. Pro Lifetime is an Apple non-consumable, one-time purchase that expands local capacity to up to 500 saved projects and 2,000 templates, subject to device storage. Both tiers have a batch limit of 10 pattern types and 30 total copies.

Pro Lifetime is not an automatically renewing subscription. The localized price and purchase terms displayed by Apple at checkout are authoritative. Apple handles billing, transaction approval and refunds. Restore Purchases is available using the Apple Account that made the purchase.

“Lifetime” describes the non-expiring Pro entitlement for this app; it does not promise unlimited cloud usage, uninterrupted third-party services or compatibility with every future device or operating system. The optional AI allowance is separate from the Pro unlock.

AI service terms

The optional AI assistant works without an account or Apple sign-in and requires consent for each request. It proposes batch quantities, rotation rules, priorities and advisory notes. It does not change physical pattern dimensions or output cutting coordinates. You must review and approve a draft before it changes your batch.

The allowance is up to 10 requests per installation per UTC day. A request accepted by the service can count even if a provider error, timeout or invalid draft follows. Shared network and service-wide capacity limits, maintenance and third-party availability may affect access. Do not evade limits or submit content you do not have the right to send.

AI output can be incorrect or misunderstand your intent. Check it against your actual templates and instructions. Manual project planning remains available without the AI service.

The privacy policy explains optional request processing, the installation identifier, allowance records and any account data from earlier builds.

Your files and permitted use

You retain responsibility for and any rights you hold in your photographs, templates and other workshop content. Only import, process or share material you are entitled to use. Using HideNest does not grant rights to another maker’s pattern.

Keep backups of work you need to preserve. Local project storage is not a substitute for a backup, and exports or shared copies are under your control. Purchase restoration does not restore project files.

Do not attempt to compromise the app or service, access another person’s account, redistribute access credentials or disrupt service for others.
