Terms of Use

Effective 30 October 2026

These terms cover your use of Showpiece, the app for iPhone, iPad and Android and the Showpiece TV app. By using Showpiece you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the app.

What Showpiece does

Showpiece lets you browse art from museums, libraries and photographers, crop it for your TV, and show it: in a Samsung Frame’s Art Mode, as a slideshow on a TV you cast to, or in the Showpiece TV app. You can also save and share your crops, and use your own photos.

Showpiece Pro

Browsing is free. Showpiece also includes 5 free exports (adding a picture to Art Mode, saving it or sharing it) and 3 hours of free slideshow casting. Showpiece Pro removes those limits. It is offered as:

• Lifetime: a single purchase that unlocks Showpiece Pro for as long as the app is available.
• Annual: a subscription that unlocks Showpiece Pro for a year at a time.

Prices are shown in the app before you buy, in your local currency, and charged by the App Store or Google Play to the account you buy with. What Showpiece Pro includes when you buy it won’t be taken away. Showpiece may later offer new content or features that need their own purchase, such as an artist’s or gallery’s own collection; Pro doesn’t necessarily include those, and browsing stays free.

The Annual subscription renews automatically at the end of each year, at the price then shown, unless you turn off auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the year ends. You can manage or cancel it in your App Store or Google Play account settings; cancelling stops the next renewal, and Pro stays on until the end of the year you have paid for.

Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their own policies. Purchases belong to the Apple ID or Google account they were made with; use Restore purchase in the app to unlock Pro on another device signed in to the same account.

The art

The art in Showpiece comes from the institutions and photographers that publish it, under their own terms: most of it is in the public domain, and photographs from Unsplash are used under the Unsplash License. Each source and its terms are listed in the app under Settings › Licenses. Showpiece doesn’t sell the art itself; what Pro pays for is the app’s cropping, sending and slideshows.

Some works may be subject to rights in some countries, and sources sometimes correct or withdraw what they publish. If you use art from Showpiece for anything beyond showing it on your own TV, check its source’s terms first.

Your own photos

Your photos stay yours. Showpiece uses them only to crop and show them where you send them, and never uploads them to its servers. You are responsible for having the right to show and share what you send.

Your TV

Showpiece works with Samsung Frame TVs through their local network connection, and with TVs that support Google Cast, AirPlay or the Showpiece TV app. Showpiece is not affiliated with or endorsed by Samsung, Google or Apple. Those companies can change their TVs and software at any time, which may stop some features from working; Showpiece will try to keep up, but can’t promise it will.

Using the app fairly

Please don’t try to get around Showpiece Pro’s limits or purchases, copy or resell the app, interfere with the services it relies on, or use it in a way that breaks the law or the terms of the art’s sources.

No warranty

Showpiece is provided as it is, without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows. I work to keep it reliable, but can’t promise it will always be available, free of errors, or work with every TV or network.

Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, I am not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from your use of Showpiece, and my total liability to you is limited to what you paid for Showpiece Pro in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under the consumer laws where you live.

Apple and Google

If you got Showpiece from the App Store, Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies. These terms are between you and me, not Apple or Google, who have no responsibility for the app or its support; Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. This doesn’t take away any protection you have under the consumer laws of the place you live.

Changes

If these terms change, I will update this page and the effective date above. Using Showpiece after a change means you accept the new terms.
