Terms of Service
1. Who We Are
Embrella is an independent app developer. Our apps — including ZenSpark Alarm and other applications published under the Embrella developer account — are available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Our website is embrella.app.
2. Acceptance of Terms
By downloading, installing, or using any Embrella app, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use our apps.
You must be at least 13 years old to use our apps. If you are under 18, you confirm that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.
3. License to Use Our Apps
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use our apps for personal, non-commercial purposes on devices you own or control, subject to these Terms and the rules of the app store through which you obtained the app.
You may not:
- Copy, modify, or create derivative works of any app or its content
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any app
- Remove or alter any proprietary notices or labels
- Use any app for any unlawful or unauthorized purpose
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any systems or networks
4. In-App Purchases and Subscriptions
Some of our apps offer optional premium features available through one-time purchases or recurring subscriptions. All purchases are processed by the app store platform (Apple App Store or Google Play) or by our payment provider (currently RevenueCat).
Subscriptions
- Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the renewal date.
- Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the current period ends.
- You can manage and cancel subscriptions in your App Store or Google Play account settings.
Free Trials
Where offered, free trials convert to paid subscriptions automatically at the end of the trial period unless cancelled beforehand.
Refunds
All purchases are final. We do not offer refunds except where required by applicable law. Refund requests for App Store purchases must be directed to Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. Refund requests for Google Play purchases must be directed to Google Play support.
Price Changes
We may change subscription prices at any time. You will be notified of any price change and given the opportunity to cancel before the change takes effect.
5. Advertising
Some of our apps display advertisements served by third-party networks (such as Google AdMob). These ads may be personalised based on your device's advertising ID and general location. Premium subscribers may have ads removed, as indicated in the specific app.
We are not responsible for the content of third-party advertisements.
6. Privacy
Your use of our apps is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Please read it carefully.
7. User Conduct
You agree not to use our apps to:
- Violate any applicable local, national, or international law or regulation
- Harass, harm, or attempt to harm others
- Transmit any unsolicited commercial communications
- Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of any app or its servers
- Attempt to circumvent any security or access controls
8. Intellectual Property
All content, features, and functionality of our apps — including text, graphics, audio, code, and design — are owned by Embrella or our licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you the right to use our trademarks without our prior written permission.
9. Third-Party Services
Our apps may integrate third-party services, including:
- RevenueCat — subscription management and purchase validation
- Google AdMob — advertising
- Expo / React Native — app framework and runtime services
These services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices of any third-party service providers.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties
Our apps are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that our apps will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Embrella shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, data, or goodwill — arising out of or in connection with your use of our apps. In jurisdictions that do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Embrella and its affiliates, officers, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of our apps or your violation of these Terms.
13. App Store Terms
Your use of our apps is also subject to the terms of the app store through which you obtained them. The following applies specifically to apps obtained via the Apple App Store:
- These Terms are between you and Embrella only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for our apps or their content.
- Apple has no obligation whatsoever to provide any maintenance or support services for our apps.
- In the event of any failure of an app to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to our apps.
- Embrella, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to our apps, including: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that an app fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
- In the event of any third-party claim that an app or your possession and use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, Embrella, not Apple, is solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of any such claim.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. Upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
- You must comply with applicable third-party terms of service when using our apps (for example, you must not be in violation of your wireless data service agreement when using an app).
Any other claims related to our apps must be directed to us, not to Apple or Google.
14. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of our apps after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
15. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to our apps at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users or third parties. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitation of liability — shall survive.
16. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
17. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining Terms will continue in full force and effect.
18. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Embrella regarding the use of our apps and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
