These Terms govern the use of the Scelta app and the features that can be unlocked within it (Scelta Pro) on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Android. They govern the relationship between you and me as the provider of the app.

2. Contractual relationships: who your contract partner is

Two things need to be distinguished here.

For the use of the app, these Terms apply between you and me.

The purchase of the app as well as all in-app purchases and subscriptions, however, are not concluded with me. In that respect your contract partner is

  • when obtained through the Apple App Store: Apple Distribution International Ltd., Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland,
  • when obtained through Google Play: Google Commerce Limited, 70 Sir John Rogerson's Quay, Dublin 2, D02 R296, Ireland.

Prices, payment, billing, automatic renewal, cancellation, refunds and any statutory right of withdrawal are therefore governed by the terms of the respective store operator and must be asserted against them. Your statutory rights against the store operator are not restricted by these Terms.

For your information: you manage and cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings under “Subscriptions” or in Google Play under “Payments and subscriptions”. This information is provided for your orientation only and creates no obligations on my part.

3. Scelta Pro and other purchases

A large part of Scelta is free to use permanently. The following are paid:

  • Scelta Pro as a subscription in various durations, renewing automatically according to the rules of the respective store,
  • Scelta Pro as a one-time purchase (“Lifetime”), meaning a permanent unlock without recurring costs,
  • cosmetic add-on purchases such as additional colour themes, each as a one-time purchase,
  • voluntary tips, which unlock no additional features.

Which products, durations and prices are offered, and whether a free trial period is available, is shown to you by the respective store before purchase; this may differ by country, platform and point in time. Where the store provides for it, any unused portion of a free trial period is forfeited if you take out a paid subscription beforehand.

To display offers, verify your entitlement and restore earlier purchases, I use the service RevenueCat. Payment itself, renewal, cancellation and any refunds run exclusively through the respective store.

There is no entitlement to permanently unchanged prices or to the permanent continuation of individual products. One-time purchases you have already made remain unaffected.

4. Licence

You receive the non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use Scelta on devices that you own or control, for private purposes, within the usage rules of the respective store. You may use Apple's Family Sharing or the Google Play family library where they are offered for the product in question.

You may not copy, modify, decompile, reverse engineer, sell or rent the app, circumvent protection mechanisms, or pass it on to third parties outside family sharing, insofar as this goes beyond the limits mandatorily permitted by law.

5. Health notice

Scelta is not a medical device. The content of the app serves documentation and motivation; it does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis or treatment and is no substitute for them.

Before you deliberately change your weight or your diet, you should consult a qualified medical professional, in particular if you have health complaints or pre-existing conditions, are pregnant, are in the period following a pregnancy, or are undergoing medical treatment. If unusual symptoms occur while using the app, please seek professional advice.

The values, trends and calculations shown by Scelta, such as BMI, are arithmetic aids. I give no warranty that they are meaningful for your individual situation.

6. Availability and updates

For the duration of your subscription — or, for one-time purchases, for the period you can reasonably expect given the nature and purpose of the app — I provide the updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the app; this includes security updates. I inform you about available updates through the respective store.

If you do not install a provided update within a reasonable period, I am not liable for defects that result solely from the absence of that update; this applies only if I informed you about its availability and about the consequences of not installing it.

Beyond that, I may develop Scelta further. Individual features may be available differently depending on platform, operating system version and app version. There is no entitlement to uninterrupted availability.

7. Your data and backups

Scelta stores your entries on your device, not in an account with me. Please therefore create your own backups where the app provides for this, for example through the CSV export. I cannot warrant that locally stored data can be restored after deleting the app, changing device, losing a device or a defect. Restoring purchased unlocks is independent of this and runs through your store account.

8. Permitted use

You may use Scelta only in accordance with applicable law. In particular, it is prohibited to misuse the app, to disrupt its operation, or to gain unauthorised access to paid features. In the event of serious breaches I may block access to paid features.

9. Intellectual property

All content and features of Scelta, in particular text, graphics, design elements, software and trademarks, are owned by me or by the respective rights holders. These Terms transfer no ownership rights to you, only the right of use described in section 4.

10. Liability

I am liable without limitation for damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence by me, my legal representatives or the people I engage to perform.

I am also liable without limitation for damage arising from injury to life, body or health, for damage for which I am answerable under the German Product Liability Act, and to the extent of any guarantee I have given.

In cases of simple negligence I am liable only for the breach of a material contractual obligation. Material contractual obligations are those obligations whose fulfilment makes achieving the purpose of the contract possible in the first place, on whose observance you may therefore rely, and whose breach endangers the achievement of the purpose of the contract. In such cases my liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract at the time the contract was concluded.

For loss of data I am liable, within the scope of the preceding paragraphs, only up to the amount that would have been incurred to restore the data had it been backed up properly and regularly. The first two paragraphs of this section remain unaffected.

Any further liability is excluded. The statutory rules on the burden of proof remain unaffected. Your statutory rights in respect of defects in the app, and your rights against the respective store operator, are not restricted by this section.

11. Changes to these Terms

I may change these Terms if and to the extent this is necessary to adapt them to a changed legal situation or case law, to changed requirements of the app store operators, or to technical and functional developments of Scelta, and the change is reasonable for you taking my interests into account.

The scope of the service I owe and the balance between service and payment are not changed by this. I will inform you about a planned change at least 30 days in advance in the app or by email and point out the changes to you. A change becomes effective towards you only if you expressly agree to it; if you do not agree, the previous version continues to apply to you.

Prices, billing, renewal and cancellation of your subscription are governed exclusively by the terms of the respective store operator (section 2) and cannot be changed through these Terms.

12. Position of Apple and Google

These Terms are concluded between you and me, not with Apple or Google. I alone am responsible for maintenance and support, not Apple or Google; please direct support requests to joe@waldow.app. Apple and Google have no warranty obligation with respect to the app and are not responsible for claims relating to the app, such as product liability, defects in title or consumer protection claims. In the event of third-party claims that the app infringes their intellectual property rights, I alone am responsible for investigation, defence and settlement.

Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a US government embargo and that you are not on any US government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

13. Final provisions

These Terms and the legal relationship between you and me are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany. If you are a consumer and have your habitual residence in another state, this choice of law applies only insofar as it does not deprive you of the protection afforded by the mandatory consumer protection provisions of the law of that state.

Should individual provisions be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.

How Scelta handles data is described in the Privacy Policy.
