These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of SpiralWordEscape (the "App"), provided by Meghan Johnson ("we", "us", or "our"). By installing, accessing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the App.

These Terms together with our Privacy Policy form the agreement between you and us in respect of your use of the App.

Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. If you are between 13 and the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, you represent that you have your parent or guardian's permission.

You also represent that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms in your jurisdiction.

License to Use the App

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

This license does not grant you any rights to:

  • Resell, sublicense, lease, rent, or otherwise commercially exploit the App.

  • Remove or alter any proprietary notices, labels, or marks contained in the App.
  • Use the App in violation of any law, regulation, or third party's rights.
  • Use the App to develop or train competing products or services.

Apple as a third-party beneficiary. If you use the App on iOS, Apple Inc. and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms with the right to enforce the license terms. Use is also subject to the App Store Terms of Service and Apple's standard End User License Agreement.

Acceptable Use

When using the App, you agree not to:

  • Violate the law. Use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of applicable laws or regulations, including export controls, intellectual property laws, and privacy laws.
  • Infringe rights. Infringe the intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights of any third party.
  • Harm others. Use the App to transmit harmful, harassing, defamatory, threatening, or otherwise objectionable content.
  • Interfere with the App. Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the App, our servers, other users' accounts, or any associated computer system. Do not introduce viruses, malware, or any code that disrupts the App or its infrastructure.
  • Automated access. Use bots, scrapers, crawlers, or other automated means to access the App, except as expressly permitted by us in writing.
  • Excessive load. Overburden, disable, or impair the App's servers or networks.
  • Reverse engineering. Decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer the App, except where applicable law expressly permits this despite this prohibition.
  • Misrepresentation. Impersonate any person or entity, or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity.

We reserve the right to investigate suspected violations and to take appropriate legal or technical action, including suspending or terminating your access to the App.

Subscriptions and In-App Purchases

The App offers subscriptions and/or one-time in-app purchases. The following terms apply:

Payment. Payments are processed by Apple's App Store, depending on your device. You authorize Apple to charge the applicable subscription or purchase fee at the time of purchase and at each renewal.

Auto-renewal. Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each subscription period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period at the price of the chosen subscription package. Renewal pricing may differ from your initial purchase price.

Managing your subscription. You can manage and cancel subscriptions at any time:

  • iOS: Go to your device's Settings -> [your name] -> Subscriptions, or open the App Store, tap your profile, and tap Subscriptions.

Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You will retain access to subscription features until the end of the period you have already paid for.

Free trials and introductory offers. If a subscription includes a free trial or discounted introductory period, the trial or introductory pricing is forfeited if you upgrade or change subscriptions before the trial ends. Auto-renewal will begin at the regular price at the end of the trial unless you cancel at least 24 hours beforehand.

Price changes. If we change the price of a subscription, we will notify you in advance through the App or by email. Continued subscription after the new price takes effect constitutes acceptance of the new price. If you do not agree, you may cancel before the change takes effect.

Family Sharing. Subscriptions to the App may be eligible for Family Sharing, depending on the configuration we have set in App Store Connect. Family Sharing rules are subject to Apple's policies and may change without notice.

Refunds and Cancellation

Apple App Store purchases. Refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple. To request a refund, visit reportaproblem.apple.com.

We are unable to issue refunds directly for purchases made through the App Store.

EU and UK consumer rights. You may have a statutory right to cancel within 14 days of purchase, subject to exceptions for delivered digital content.

Intellectual Property

All content, features, and functionality of the App, including software, design, branding, documentation, data compilations, and media, are owned by Meghan Johnson or our licensors and protected by intellectual property laws.

SpiralWordEscape are trademarks of Meghan Johnson. You may not use these marks without prior written permission.

You retain rights in content you submit. By submitting content to features that share or display it, you grant us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, and process that content as necessary to provide the App.

Disclaimers

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THESE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

We do not warrant that:

  • The App will function uninterrupted, secure, or available at any particular time or location.
  • Any errors or defects in the App will be corrected.
  • The App is free of viruses, malware, or other harmful components.
  • The results obtained from using the App will meet your requirements or be accurate or reliable.

Statutory rights. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Your statutory consumer rights, including any rights to a remedy or refund under EU or UK consumer law, remain unaffected.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MEGHAN JOHNSON SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES.

OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT OR FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS (US$50).

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Meghan Johnson and our officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from:

  • Your use of the App in violation of these Terms.
  • Your violation of any applicable law or regulation.
  • Your violation of the rights of any third party, including intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights.
  • Any content you submit, post, or transmit through the App.

We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense of the claim.

Termination

By us. We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that we reasonably believe:

  • Violates these Terms.
  • Is harmful to other users, us, or third parties.
  • Creates legal or regulatory risk.
  • Is fraudulent or abusive.

By you. You may stop using the App at any time.

Effect of termination. Upon termination:

  • Your right to use the App ceases immediately.
  • Active subscriptions are not refunded; cancellation takes effect as described in the Subscriptions section above.
  • The following sections survive termination: License (with respect to any content you have shared), Intellectual Property, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Governing Law, Dispute Resolution, Class Action Waiver, and Miscellaneous.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of CA, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

This choice of law does not deprive you of mandatory protections of the country in which you reside.

Dispute Resolution

Binding arbitration. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the App, including questions regarding the existence, scope, or validity of these Terms, shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration rather than in court.

The arbitration will be administered by JAMS or the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under their applicable consumer arbitration rules then in effect, and conducted in CA, USA. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Exceptions to arbitration. Either party may:

  • Bring an individual claim in small claims court for any dispute within that court's jurisdiction.
  • Seek injunctive or equitable relief in court for matters relating to intellectual property, confidentiality, or unauthorized access to the App.

Arbitration opt-out. You may opt out of binding arbitration by sending us written notice within thirty (30) days of first using the App or first agreeing to these Terms. Send your opt-out notice to meghan_johnson1991@aol.com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" and include your name, address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out. Opting out of arbitration does not affect any other terms.

Jury trial waiver. To the extent permitted by law, both parties waive any right to a jury trial for disputes heard in court rather than arbitration.

Class Action Waiver

You agree that dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted on an individual basis only and not as a class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative action.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.

Material changes. If changes are material, for example, changes to dispute resolution, fees, or the scope of the license, we will notify you in-App or by email at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Continued use of the App after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

Non-material changes. Changes that are not material, such as clarifications of language or fixes for typographical errors, take effect immediately upon posting.

If you do not agree with the revised Terms, you should stop using the App and, if you have an account, request deletion as described in our Privacy Policy.

Miscellaneous

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that right or provision.

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any additional terms incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, or representations.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or by operation of law.

Force majeure. We will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform under these Terms caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor strikes, internet outages, or governmental actions.

Notices. Notices to you under these Terms may be sent by email to the address associated with your account or posted within the App. Notices to us must be sent to meghan_johnson1991@aol.com.

Language. These Terms are written in English. If a translation is provided, the English version controls in case of conflict.
