DRAFT — pending legal counsel review. This document is an engineering-accurate draft prepared for legal review. Bracketed [PLACEHOLDER: …] tokens must be filled in before publication. It is not yet legal advice or a final published policy.

Effective date: [PLACEHOLDER: effective date] Provider: [PLACEHOLDER: legal entity] ("Drip Meter", "we", "us", "our") Contact: [email protected]

1. Acceptance of these terms

By downloading, installing, or using the Drip Meter mobile app (the "App"), you agree to these Terms of Service (the "Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the App. Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy and the End-User License Agreement available in the App and at https://dripmeter.me/eula.

2. What Drip Meter is

Drip Meter is a personal tool for tracking your recurring payments. The data you enter is stored on your device and, if you enable backup, in your own cloud account. We operate no server that holds your personal data. The App is an informational tool only; it does not provide financial, tax, legal, or investment advice, and it does not make payments, cancel subscriptions, or interact with your bank or any merchant on your behalf.

3. License to use the App

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on devices you own or control, subject to these Terms and to the rules of the app store through which you obtained the App. The detailed license grant and restrictions are set out in the End-User License Agreement.

4. Purchases — Pro unlock

The App is free to download and includes a 30-day free trial with the full experience. After the trial, the App continues to work as a free tier with a limit on the number of active subscriptions. The limit only blocks operations that would push your active count above it — adding a new subscription, or unarchiving one — and never removes subscriptions you already have. Everything you have entered remains fully viewable, editable, archivable, and deletable.

• Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Pro is a single, non-recurring, non-consumable in-app purchase that removes the free-tier limit for your store account. There is no recurring billing, no automatic renewal, and nothing to cancel. These Terms contain no auto-renewing-subscription provisions because the App offers none.
• Price. Pro is offered at the price displayed in the App Store or Google Play at the time of purchase (localized by your store), which the store may adjust through its own price-management tools.
• Where the purchase happens. All purchases are processed by Apple's App Store or Google Play. We never see or store your payment details.
• Restoring your purchase. You can restore Pro on any device signed in to the same store account via "Restore purchase" in the paywall or in Settings. If you participate in your platform's Family Sharing, eligible family members can restore Pro on their own devices without paying again — this is handled entirely by the platform.
• Scope of entitlement. Pro is tied to the store account of purchase. Moving between platforms (for example iPhone to Android) requires a separate purchase, because we operate no cross-platform account system.

5. Refunds

Refunds are handled by Apple and Google under their own policies, not by Drip Meter. We cannot issue refunds directly. To request a refund, use your store's standard process. If a purchase is refunded by the store, Pro access is removed the next time the App checks your store entitlement (typically within hours of the store processing the refund).

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to: (a) reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits; (b) circumvent or tamper with the free-tier limit, the trial, or any entitlement check; (c) redistribute, resell, rent, or sublicense the App; or (d) use the App in violation of any applicable law.

7. Your data and backups

You are responsible for the data you enter and for your own device and cloud-account security. Because your data lives on your device and (if you enable backup) in your own cloud account, we cannot recover your data for you — we never hold a copy. We are not responsible for loss of your data resulting from device failure, loss of cloud credentials, deletion of a cloud backup, or actions taken within your own cloud account. See the Privacy Policy for how data is handled.

8. Disclaimers — the App is provided "as is"

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that currency rates or catalog data are accurate or current. [PLACEHOLDER: counsel to confirm warranty-disclaimer wording and any mandatory consumer-rights carve-outs for the chosen jurisdiction.]

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Drip Meter will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, arising out of or relating to your use of the App. [PLACEHOLDER: counsel to confirm the liability cap and any mandatory consumer-protection carve-outs for the chosen jurisdiction.]

10. Changes to the App and these Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the App at any time. We may update these Terms; material changes will be reflected by an updated effective date, and the current version is always available in the App (Settings → About → Terms of Service) and at https://dripmeter.me/terms. Your continued use after an update constitutes acceptance.

11. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of [PLACEHOLDER: governing-law jurisdiction], without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. [PLACEHOLDER: counsel to confirm dispute-resolution, venue, and any arbitration/class-action language for the chosen jurisdiction.] Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable rights you have under the consumer-protection laws of your country of residence, or any dispute rights you have through Apple or Google for purchases made through their stores.
