These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Giftat mobile application and related services (the “Service”) provided by [OPERATOR_LEGAL_NAME] (“we,” “us,” or “our”).
By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Eligibility and accounts
1.1 You must be able to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction and meet any minimum age required by us and by Google Play or Apple App Store (typically at least the age of digital consent in your country, often 13+ with parental involvement where required).
1.2 You are responsible for account security, accurate information, and all activity under your account.
1.3 We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or pose risk to the Service or other users.
2. Description of the Service
Giftat is a personal planning tool for tracking people, occasions, gifts, and related notes. Features may vary by platform, version, and subscription tier (free or paid).
The Service is provided “as is” and may change, be limited, or be discontinued in whole or in part.
3. User content and license
3.1 You retain rights to content you submit (“User Content”). You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, process, display, and transmit User Content solely to operate, secure, and improve the Service for you (including sync, backup features, and support).
3.2 You represent that you have the rights needed to submit User Content and that it does not violate third-party rights or applicable law.
3.3 We may remove or restrict User Content that violates these Terms or that we are required to remove by law.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service unlawfully, fraudulently, or to harm others.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to systems, accounts, or data.
- Reverse engineer, scrape, or overload the Service except as permitted by law.
- Upload malware, spam, or content that is illegal, hateful, harassing, or sexually exploitative of minors.
- Circumvent subscription, usage limits, or technical protections.
- Use the Service in violation of Google Play or Apple policies.
We may investigate violations and cooperate with authorities.
5. Subscriptions, purchases, and free tiers
5.1 Paid features may be offered via in-app purchases or subscriptions processed by Google or Apple. Pricing, billing, renewal, cancellation, and refunds are governed by the platform’s terms and your store account settings.
5.2 Free tiers may include usage limits, advertising, or feature restrictions as described in the app.
5.3 We may change plans, prices, or limits with reasonable notice where required by law or store rules.
6. Advertising
The Service may display third-party advertising (e.g. through Google AdMob). Ad providers may collect data as described in our Privacy Policy and their own policies. You can adjust certain ad preferences via device and platform settings.
7. Intellectual property
The Service, including branding, design, text, graphics, and software (excluding your User Content), is owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited right to use the Service as offered, no rights are granted to you.
8. Third-party services
The Service relies on third parties (e.g. Firebase, Google, Apple, analytics, ads). Their availability and terms are outside our full control. Your use of those services may be subject to their terms.
9. Disclaimers
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DATA WILL NEVER BE LOST. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING BACKUPS OF IMPORTANT INFORMATION WHERE APPROPRIATE.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers; in those cases, disclaimers apply to the fullest extent permitted.
10. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, [OPERATOR_LEGAL_NAME] AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) [LIABILITY_CAP_AMOUNT_AND_CURRENCY] WHEN NO SUCH FEES APPLIED—UNLESS MANDATORY LAW REQUIRES OTHERWISE.
11. Indemnity
You will defend and indemnify [OPERATOR_LEGAL_NAME] and its affiliates against claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your User Content, your misuse of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law, except to the extent caused by our willful misconduct.
12. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for violations, risk, legal requirements, or discontinuation of the Service. Provisions that by nature should survive (e.g. licenses granted to us as needed to wind down storage, disclaimers, limitations, indemnity, governing law) will survive termination.
13. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of [GOVERNING_LAW_REGION], excluding conflict-of-law rules that would apply another jurisdiction’s laws.
Courts located in [COURTS_REGION] have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes, except where consumer protection law in your country requires otherwise or where mandatory arbitration or small-claims rules apply.
(If you sell in the EU/UK, consider adding an optional dispute-resolution or consumer-rights paragraph after legal review.)
14. Changes to these Terms
We may modify these Terms. We will post the updated Terms with a new effective date and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. If you continue to use the Service after changes become effective, you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Service.
