Terms of Use
1. The agreement
These terms are between you and Styves Goupil, the developer of Chests (“I”, “me”), who sells the app on the App Store under his legal name, Steve Goupil. By downloading or using Chests (“the app”), you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the app.
2. Your licence
When you get Chests from the App Store, your licence to use it is governed by Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “Standard EULA”). These terms add a few points specific to Chests. If they ever conflict with the Standard EULA on the licence itself, the Standard EULA prevails.
The app, its name, its icon, its design and its code belong to me. Any purchases, refunds and Family Sharing are handled by Apple under the App Store’s terms.
3. Your content
What you put in your chests (links, notes, pictures, tags) is yours. I don’t receive it and claim no rights over it. It is stored on your devices and in your own iCloud, as described in the Privacy Policy.
You are responsible for your content and for keeping copies of what matters to you. The app lets you export a full backup from Settings; please use it from time to time.
4. Other people’s content
The links, articles, videos, pictures and posts you save belong to their authors and publishers. Chests reads them from their websites to show you a title, a picture or a clean copy for your own reading. That copy is for your personal use; respect the rights of the people who made the content, especially before you share it.
I don’t control third-party websites and I’m not responsible for their content, their availability or their practices. A link or a picture may stop working if its website changes.
5. Sharing
When you share a chest, you choose who can see it and whether they can change it. People with full access can add, change and delete items in that chest. Share only what you have the right to share, and only with people you trust with it.
6. Using Chests well
Please don’t use the app to break the law, to infringe other people’s rights, to store or share content that is illegal, or to try to interfere with the app, with Apple’s services or with other people’s data.
7. Apple services
Syncing and sharing rely on iCloud, and some features rely on Apple Intelligence, which is only available on some devices, in some languages and in some regions. These services are provided by Apple under its own terms, and I can’t guarantee their availability. The app also needs an internet connection to read the pages you save.
8. No warranty
To the extent permitted by law, the app is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. I don’t warrant that the app will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that your data will never be lost.
9. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, I will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, content or profits, arising from your use of the app or your inability to use it. My total liability for any claim relating to the app will not exceed the amount you paid for it, if any.
Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that can’t be waived, including the Québec Consumer Protection Act if it applies to you.
10. About Apple
These terms are between you and me, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content, and has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them.
11. Changes
The app will change over time: features may be added, changed or removed. I may also update these terms; the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. If you keep using the app after a change, the new terms apply. You can stop using the app and delete it at any time.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the province of Québec and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, and any dispute will be heard by the courts of Québec, unless the consumer protection laws of the place where you live require otherwise.
