Terms of service — Bismology

The short version.

The apps are free to use. Pro is an optional one-time purchase for each app.
What you create is yours. I store it only so it can sync between your devices.
Don't misuse the service, and don't try to get around Pro.
The apps are made and run by one person and come without guarantees, so keep backups of anything important.
These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario, Canada.

Who these terms are with

Bismology is run by one independent developer based in Ontario, Canada (“I” and “me” below). These terms cover the website at bismology.com and the Bismology apps, Progress XP, Visual Schedule, and Auto Todo, on every platform they run on.

By using the apps or the website, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use them.

Your account

An account is optional. Without one, the apps keep your data on your own device. You need an account to sync between devices and to buy Pro.
You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If you're under the age of majority where you live, you need a parent's or guardian's permission to buy Pro.
Keep your password safe. You're responsible for what's done with your account, so let me know if you think someone else has accessed it.
An account is for one person. It can't be sold or handed over to someone else.

Your content

What you create in the apps belongs to you. You give me permission to store, copy, and transmit it only as far as that's needed to run the apps for you: syncing it between your devices, keeping server backups, and showing it back to you. I don't use it for anything else. The privacy policy explains what I store and why.

You can delete your content, or your whole account, at any time at bismology.com/delete.

Pro purchases

What you get. Each app has an optional Pro upgrade. What it includes and what it costs are listed on the pricing page.
You pay once. Pro is a single payment with no recurring charges.
It belongs to your account. Pro is attached to the Bismology account you were signed in to when you bought it. It works wherever you sign in to that account, and it can't be moved to a different account.
Who takes your payment. Purchases in the Android app from Google Play are processed by Google Play, under Google's terms. Purchases on the web and on desktop are sold by Creem, which acts as merchant of record: Creem's terms cover the payment itself, and Creem handles sales tax and VAT. Your receipt comes from Google or Creem.
Prices. Prices are listed in US dollars and may change in future. A price change never affects a purchase you've already made.
How long it lasts. Pro lasts for as long as I offer the app it was bought for.
Changes to Pro. I may add to Pro or rework its features over time. If a change takes away something substantial that you paid for, contact me and I'll refund your purchase.
Refunds. You can get a full refund within 48 hours of buying, no questions asked, or within 14 days if you live in the EU or the UK. The refund policy has the details.

Acceptable use

When using the apps or the website, please don't:

use them to break the law, or store content that's illegal;
try to get into accounts or data that aren't yours, or attack, overload, or probe the server;
create accounts in bulk or with automated tools;
work around Pro restrictions, or share ways of doing so;
copy, resell, or redistribute the apps.

I may suspend or close accounts that do these things.

No guarantees

I build and run Bismology myself and work to keep it reliable, but I can't promise the apps will always be available, will be free of errors, or will never lose data. The apps and the website are provided “as is” and “as available”. Keep your own backups of anything important, using an app's backup export where it has one.

Limits on liability

As far as the law allows, I'm not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from your use of the apps or the website, such as lost data, lost profits, or lost time. My total liability to you for any claim is limited to what you paid me for Pro in the 12 months before the claim, or $10 USD if you haven't paid anything.

Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have under consumer protection law that can't be waived, including Ontario's Consumer Protection Act, 2002 and the consumer laws of the place where you live.

Ending your use

You can stop using the apps or delete your account at any time at bismology.com/delete.

I may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms. Unless the problem is serious, I'll try to warn you first. If I ever shut down an app or the sync server, I'll give reasonable notice in the app so you have time to export your data.

Changes to these terms

I may update these terms. The current version is always on this page, with its date below, and significant changes will also be noted in the apps. If you keep using the apps after a change, you're accepting the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. Disputes will be handled by the courts of Ontario, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring a claim in your local courts.
