Terms of Use

These terms cover your use of Vedla’s apps and website. The short version: use our apps fairly, your content stays yours, and our work stays ours.

01Agreement

By downloading, accessing, or using any app published by Vedla or this website (our “services”), you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.

02Using our services

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use our apps on devices you own or control, for your own personal use, in line with these terms and the rules of the store you downloaded them from.

You agree not to:

  • copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of our services;
  • reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code of our apps, unless the law allows it or we have published that code under an open-source licence;
  • use our services for anything unlawful, or to harm, harass, or impersonate others;
  • interfere with or disrupt our services, or try to access them in ways we did not intend.

03Accounts

Some of our apps let you create an account. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in details secure and for activity on your account. Let us know right away if you think your account has been compromised.

You can delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms.

04Your content

Anything you create with our apps belongs to you. We only store and process it to provide the service to you, as described in our Privacy Policy. We do not claim ownership of your content and do not use it for any other purpose.

05Our content

Our apps, software, designs, logos, names, and creative works, including our stories and published fiction, are owned by Vedla and protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. These terms do not give you any right to use them except as needed to use our services.

Some of our software is published under open-source licences. Where that is the case, the relevant licence applies to that code instead of these terms.

06Purchases

If an app offers paid features or subscriptions, purchases are processed by the App Store you bought them from and are subject to that store’s terms. Refunds are handled by the store according to its policies. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel them in your store account settings before the renewal date.

07Apps downloaded from the App Store

If you downloaded one of our apps from Apple’s App Store, you also agree to the following:

  • These terms are between you and Vedla, not Apple. Vedla, not Apple, is solely responsible for the app and its content.
  • Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the app.
  • If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app.
  • Vedla, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims relating to the app, including product liability claims, claims that it fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, consumer protection claims, and claims that it infringes someone else’s intellectual property.
  • You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.

Your use of the app must also comply with Apple’s Media Services Terms and Conditions. Where Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User Licence Agreement applies, these terms supplement it.

08Disclaimer

We work hard to make our services reliable and useful, but they are provided “as is” and “as available”. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we make no warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, and we do not guarantee that our services will be uninterrupted or error-free.

09Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Vedla will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or revenue, arising from your use of our services. Our total liability for any claim relating to our services is limited to the amount you paid us for them in the 12 months before the claim, or CA$50, whichever is greater.

Some jurisdictions do not allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have under consumer protection law that cannot be waived.

10Ending these terms

You can stop using our services at any time by deleting our apps and, where relevant, your account. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms. The sections on our content, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law continue to apply after these terms end.

11Governing law

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

12Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will change the date at the top of this page. If a change is significant, we will let you know through the app or by email. Continuing to use our services after a change means you accept the updated terms.
