Effective date: September 7, 2026

2. Scope and relationship with Apple
These Terms and Conditions contain supplemental terms and customer information for the macOS application CodePeek (the “App”). The App is offered through the Apple Mac App Store.
Your use of the App is also governed by the terms applicable to your Apple account, the Mac App Store, and Apple’s Usage Rules. Unless a custom end-user licence agreement is expressly presented for CodePeek in the Mac App Store, Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (“Apple Standard EULA”) applies to the licence for the App.
If these Terms conflict with the Apple Standard EULA, the Apple Standard EULA takes precedence for matters governed by that agreement. Mandatory consumer-protection law always remains unaffected.
3. What CodePeek does
CodePeek is a native macOS utility for viewing, formatting, inspecting, converting, and generating developer-oriented content. It currently includes 27 local tools and preview modes, including previews for structured data, markup, diagrams, code, diffs, tokens, hashes, and generated values. The current product description in the Mac App Store forms part of the information provided before purchase.
The App works locally on the user’s Mac. It does not require a CodePeek account or a CodePeek-operated cloud service.
4. Licence and permitted use
The licence to install and use CodePeek is granted under the Apple Standard EULA and Apple’s Usage Rules. Subject to those rules, the App may be used for private, educational, and commercial purposes on compatible Apple devices associated with the purchaser’s Apple account.
The App may not be redistributed, resold, sublicensed, made available as a standalone hosted service, reverse engineered beyond what mandatory law permits, or used to infringe the rights of others.
The App is licensed, not sold. No ownership rights in the App or its source code are transferred.
5. Price, payment, delivery, and refunds
CodePeek is currently offered as a one-time purchase. It has no CodePeek subscription and no in-app purchases.
The price shown in the Mac App Store at the time of purchase applies. Apple processes the purchase, payment, invoicing or receipt, delivery, applicable taxes, and refund requests under Apple’s applicable terms and procedures.
Any mandatory statutory rights, including applicable withdrawal, refund, and consumer rights, remain unaffected. Where a refund request must be processed by Apple, users should use Apple’s official purchase-support process.
6. System requirements, compatibility, and updates
CodePeek requires a compatible Mac running macOS 14 or later, unless the current Mac App Store listing specifies otherwise.
The provider may release updates to maintain conformity, security, compatibility, or functionality. Users are responsible for installing available operating-system and App updates within a reasonable period. Statutory obligations concerning updates for digital products remain unaffected.
Changes to Apple platforms, third-party formats, browser engines, or operating systems may affect individual features. The provider does not guarantee compatibility with every future version, third-party tool, file variant, or undocumented format.
7. Important functional limitations
CodePeek is a productivity tool and does not replace professional review or dedicated security software. In particular:
- React preview mode supports a single file using the bundled runtime; package imports, dependency installation, and a full build environment are not provided.
- JWT mode decodes token content but does not verify the token’s cryptographic signature or authenticity.
- Hash functions produce one-way checksums; hashing is not encryption and does not protect confidential data by itself.
- Generated passwords, UUIDs, and other random values are created locally using system cryptographic randomness, but users remain responsible for deciding whether an output is suitable for their security requirements.
- Formatters, converters, previews, diagrams, diffs, and generated outputs may contain errors or may not support every input variant. Results should be checked before use in production, security-critical, legal, medical, financial, or other high-impact contexts.
8. User content and lawful use
Users retain all rights in content they open, paste, process, or export with CodePeek. Users are responsible for ensuring that they have the necessary rights and authority to process that content and that their use complies with applicable law.
Users must not use the App to create, process, or distribute unlawful content, violate intellectual-property or privacy rights, compromise systems, or circumvent security measures.
Users are responsible for keeping appropriate backups. The App’s local history is a convenience feature and is not a backup or archival service.
9. Support and maintenance
Support requests may be sent to info@maxantonschneider.com. Users should not include passwords, access tokens, confidential source code, personal data, or other secrets unless strictly necessary and lawfully permitted.
The provider, not Apple, is responsible for support and maintenance to the extent required by applicable law and the applicable licence terms. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App.
10. Conformity, defects, and statutory rights
Mandatory statutory rights for defects and non-conformity remain fully applicable. For consumers, this includes the mandatory provisions governing contracts for digital products, including Sections 327 et seq. of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch, BGB), where applicable.
Nothing in these Terms limits rights relating to required functionality, integration, security, updates, remedies, price reduction, termination, or damages where such rights cannot lawfully be excluded.
11. Liability
The provider has unlimited liability for intent and gross negligence; injury to life, body, or health; liability under the German Product Liability Act; fraudulent concealment of a defect; and guarantees expressly assumed by the provider.
For ordinary negligence, the provider is liable only for breach of an essential contractual obligation whose performance is necessary for the proper performance of the agreement and on whose fulfilment the user may ordinarily rely. In that case, liability is limited to the foreseeable loss typical for this type of agreement.
To the extent permitted by law, liability is otherwise excluded. Mandatory statutory consumer rights and any stricter liability required by law remain unaffected.
12. Third-party content, open-source components, and external connections
CodePeek includes or uses third-party and open-source components. Their notices and licence terms apply in addition to these Terms where required.
The App may allow users to open external links or, when expressly enabled, load remote images. Third-party websites and services are controlled by their respective operators. The provider is not responsible for their availability, content, privacy practices, or security, except where liability is mandatory by law.
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of the Apple Standard EULA and may enforce that agreement as described there.
13. Privacy
Information about the processing of personal data is provided in the CodePeek Privacy Policy. Most App content is processed locally and is not transmitted to the provider.
14. Termination
The licence continues until terminated in accordance with the Apple Standard EULA or applicable law. Rights may terminate if the user fails to comply with applicable licence conditions. After termination, the user must stop using and delete the App, subject to any continuing statutory rights.
15. Applicable law and jurisdiction
German law applies, excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
For consumers, this choice of law does not deprive them of mandatory protections under the law of the country in which they habitually reside. Statutory rules on jurisdiction apply. An exclusive place of jurisdiction is agreed only where legally permissible, in particular for merchants, legal entities under public law, or special funds under public law.
16. Consumer dispute resolution
The provider is neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute-resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board, unless participation is mandatory in a particular case.
17. Changes to these Terms
The version accepted or otherwise applicable at the time of purchase governs that purchase. Material changes will not apply retroactively unless required by law, based on a valid contractual ground, or accepted by the user. The provider may update these Terms for future purchases or to reflect legal, security, or functional changes, subject to mandatory notice and consent requirements.
