Sketch B.V. (also “Sketch”) provides a software platform for digital design. The Sketch Platform is supported by a cloud persistency service where customers can store design artifacts and documents, share them with other members of their design operations, and manage Sketch user privileges. Customers can create design documents in our popular Mac application and then upload them to the cloud for viewing or collaboration, or they can simply save design files on their local Mac machine(s), if preferred.
Please read these Sketch Terms of Service (“Terms” or “the Agreement”) carefully before You download, purchase or use the Sketch Platform. By purchasing a subscription for or using the Sketch Platform, You agree without reservation to be bound by the Agreement.

In particular, You may only accept the Agreement if You are old enough to consent by yourself to share your data under applicable law.
