Terms of Service

1. Service Description

Home Logbook ("App") is developed by LynxApps ("we," "us," "our") and provides a local-first home maintenance tracking tool for iPhone. The App lets you log maintenance tasks, schedule reminders, manage contractors, and generate maintenance reports. All data is stored on your device using SwiftData. There is no backend server and no cloud sync.

2. License

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to download and use the App for personal, non-commercial household management. You may not:

• Modify, adapt, or create derivative works based on the App
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App
• Rent, lease, sublicence, or lend the App to others
• Remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or proprietary notices
• Use the App for commercial property management without our written permission

3. Free Tier & Premium Subscriptions

Free Tier

The free tier is available to all users and includes:

• Up to 10 maintenance tasks per home

4. Subscription Management

• Auto-renewing subscriptions renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the renewal date
• Cancel anytime: Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions → Home Logbook
• Refunds are governed by Apple's refund policy — contact Apple Support for refund requests
• Downgrading from Premium to Free limits new task creation to 10 tasks; existing tasks are preserved

5. Data Storage & Local-First Design

Home Logbook is entirely local-first:

• All home data, tasks, photos, and contractor details are stored on your device only
• There is no cloud sync or backup managed by LynxApps
• We strongly recommend using iOS device backups (iCloud Backup or iTunes) to protect your data
• LynxApps cannot recover data lost due to device loss, reset, or app deletion
• Deleting the App permanently removes all data stored by Home Logbook

6. User Responsibilities

• Use the App only for lawful personal home management purposes
• Do not store sensitive financial account details, government IDs, or passwords in the App
• Maintain your own backups of important records — LynxApps is not liable for data loss
• Verify contractor details independently — we do not vet, endorse, or guarantee any contractors you save
• Task reminders and maintenance schedules are suggestions only; final decisions about your home are yours

7. Disclaimers

The App is provided "AS IS" without warranties of any kind. We do not warrant that:

• The App will be error-free, uninterrupted, or available at all times
• Maintenance suggestions or seasonal reminders will be appropriate for your specific property or climate
• Reports generated by the App will be accepted by insurers, solicitors, or other third parties
• The App will function on all devices or iOS versions beyond the stated minimum

Important: Home Logbook is a personal organisation tool. It is not a professional property inspection service, a home warranty product, or a substitute for advice from qualified tradespeople or property professionals.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, LynxApps' total liability for any claim arising from the App shall not exceed the amount you paid for Premium subscriptions in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $0 if you used only the free tier. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages including but not limited to data loss, property damage, or missed maintenance events.

9. Intellectual Property

The App, including its code, design, graphics, and feature set, is the intellectual property of LynxApps. All rights are reserved. User-generated content (task notes, photos, contractor records) remains yours — we claim no ownership over data you create.

10. Third-Party Services

The App integrates with:

• Apple App Store: For distribution, billing, and subscription management
• Firebase (Google): For anonymised crash reporting (Crashlytics) and usage analytics. See our Privacy Policy for details

These services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

11. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App if you violate these Terms or as required by law. On termination, your licence to use the App ends. Your local data is unaffected — it remains on your device until you delete the App.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the App after the updated "Last updated" date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We will notify users of material changes through an in-app notice where practicable.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by applicable law without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Disputes shall be resolved in courts of competent jurisdiction.
