Terms of Service

Welcome to Whateren. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Whateren mobile application ("App") provided by Whateren ("we," "us," or "our"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using our App, you confirm that you are at least 13 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are using the App on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Description of Service

Whateren is a personal inventory management application that allows users to catalog, organize, and track their belongings. The App provides features including, but not limited to:

• Creating and managing item inventories
• Organizing items by categories and locations
• Adding photos and descriptions to items
• Tracking item status and history, including lending and warranties
• Optionally identifying photographed items through a paid AI service (see Section 4)
• Reading purchase receipts to import their items, using the same paid AI service
• Generating printable PDF documents from your inventory, including insurance reports, inventory lists, and QR labels for your places
• Exporting data in various formats
• Syncing data across devices via iCloud
• Sharing inventories with family members

3. License Grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install, and use the App on devices that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use.

3.1 License Restrictions

You agree not to:

• Copy, modify, or distribute the App or any portion thereof
• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the App
• Remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices on the App
• Use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws
• Use the App to infringe upon the rights of others
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the App or its related systems
• Use automated systems or software to extract data from the App

4. Price and In-App Purchases

The App is available for a one-time purchase of $4.99 (or the equivalent in your local currency, as listed on the App Store) through the Apple App Store. That purchase covers the App and all future updates, under the license granted in Section 3, and there is no subscription. Cataloging, organizing, photographing, sharing, exporting, and printing are included in that price and require no further purchase.

The App also offers an optional Premium AI mode, which sends a photo to a third-party AI provider to identify it. That mode is paid for with credits, sold as consumable in-app purchases through the Apple App Store in packs of 100, 200, 500 and 1000. One credit is spent per identification; scanning a receipt spends one credit per item you choose to import; Enhance, which proposes improvements to an item or place you already saved, spends one credit per proposal. Alternatively, you may supply your own API key for that provider, in which case identification, receipt scanning and Enhance use your key and your billing relationship is with that provider rather than with us. Enhance still requires a credit balance above zero, although it does not spend it when you use your own key.

Credits are consumable: they are spent when used and do not renew. They do not expire. They belong to the Apple ID that bought them and cannot be transferred, exchanged, or redeemed for cash. Your balance is stored on your device with a copy in iCloud, so it usually survives reinstalling the App while you are signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID; it is not a server-side account and we cannot restore, adjust, or refund it ourselves.

All purchases are processed by Apple. Refunds are handled by Apple under its own policies, and we have no ability to issue them. Purchases are non-refundable except as required by applicable law or granted under those policies.

5. User Data and Content

5.1 Your Data

All data you create, upload, or store within the App ("User Data") remains your property. We do not claim ownership over your User Data. You are solely responsible for your User Data and for ensuring that it does not violate any applicable laws or third-party rights.

5.2 Data Storage

Your User Data is stored locally on your device. If you enable iCloud sync, your data will be stored in your personal iCloud account, which is governed by Apple's terms and privacy policy. We do not have access to your User Data stored on your device or in your iCloud account.

5.3 Backup Responsibility

You are solely responsible for backing up your User Data. While the App provides backup and export features, we are not responsible for any loss or corruption of your User Data.

6. iCloud and Sharing

The App integrates with Apple's iCloud service for data synchronization and for sharing a property with other people. Use of these features is subject to Apple's terms of service and privacy policy. We are not responsible for the availability, reliability, or security of Apple's services.

7. Intellectual Property

The App, including its design, features, functionality, code, and content (excluding User Data), is owned by us and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights to use our trademarks, logos, or other brand features.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR USEFULNESS OF ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED THROUGH THE APP. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOUR USE OF THE APP IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE APP EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Whateren, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:

• Your use of the App

• Your violation of any rights of any third party

11. Modifications to the App

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the App (or any part thereof) at any time with or without notice. We shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the App.

12. Modifications to Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. The most current version is always available on our website. If we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the App after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

13. Termination

These Terms are effective until terminated. Your rights under these Terms will terminate automatically without notice if you fail to comply with any term hereof. Upon termination, you must cease all use of the App and delete all copies of the App from your devices.

14. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which Whateren operates, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in that jurisdiction.

15. Dispute Resolution

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach thereof shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiations. If such negotiations fail, the dispute shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of a recognized arbitration institution.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable while preserving its original intent.

17. Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by us.

18. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Whateren regarding your use of the App and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals, or representations, written or oral, concerning the subject matter hereof.
