Terms of Use

Shared Countdown: Days Until · Effective Date: October 28, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of Shared Countdown: Days Until ("Shared Countdown", "the App", "we", "us", or "our"). By downloading or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. The App

Shared Countdown lets you count down to events. You can create events with a name, a date, a category, an optional cover photo, and reminders, and show them in Home Screen widgets. You can optionally pair with one other person to share and co-edit events. Without sharing, your events are stored on your device and no account is needed.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the App only with permission from a parent or legal guardian.

3. License

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on Apple devices that you own or control, as permitted by Apple's App Store rules. The App is licensed, not sold. Your use of the App is also subject to Apple's Standard End User License Agreement.

4. Your Content

You keep all rights to the events, photos, and other content you create in the App, subject to the rights of any third party whose content you include. You are responsible for the content you add and for how you use it. If you do not use an account, your content stays on your device and we are not responsible for lost content, for example if the App or your device is deleted or reset. You can delete your account and server data in the App at any time.

5. Sharing and Pairing

Sharing is optional and requires an account created with Sign in with Apple. You can pair with one other person at a time using an invite code.
Events you choose to share, including their name, date, category, appearance, and cover photo, are stored on our servers and are visible to and editable by you and the person you are paired with. Either of you can change or delete a shared event.
Events set to "Only me" are not uploaded and are not visible to your partner.
Only share invite codes with people you trust, and only pair with someone you know. You are responsible for who you pair with.
When you disconnect, each person keeps a private copy of the shared events on their own device. You can delete your account in Settings › Delete account, which deletes your account and server data.

6. Subscriptions and Billing

Some features require a Shared Countdown Premium subscription. Premium is offered as an auto-renewable yearly subscription with a 7-day free trial if you are eligible. Prices and trial terms are shown in the App before purchase.
Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. If a free trial is offered and you do not cancel before it ends, your subscription converts to a paid subscription.
Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period at the then-current price.
You can manage and cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings. Canceling stops future renewals; access continues until the end of the paid period.
While you are paired with another person, your subscription also unlocks Premium for your partner. Billing applies only to the person who purchased the subscription. Your partner's Premium access from your subscription ends when you disconnect or when your subscription ends.
Refunds are handled by Apple under its refund policies.
You can restore previous purchases from the App on devices signed in to the same Apple Account.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

Upload or share photos or other content that you do not have the right to use or to share with your partner, including content that infringes someone else's rights or privacy.
Upload or share content that is illegal, abusive, harassing, hateful, or sexually explicit, or that you know to be harmful to others.
Use pairing or sharing to harass, stalk, or monitor another person, or pair with someone without their knowledge or consent.
Use the App for fraud, impersonation, deception, or any unlawful purpose.
Attempt to misuse, overload, or bypass limits of our servers or services.
Reverse engineer, modify, copy, resell, or distribute the App, except where permitted by law.
Interfere with the App, its security, or the third-party services it uses.
Use the App in a way that violates Apple's terms or applicable laws.

8. Reminders and Widgets

Reminders are local notifications delivered by iOS, and widgets are refreshed by iOS on its own schedule. Delivery and timing depend on your device settings, such as notification permissions, Focus modes, and battery settings, so we cannot guarantee that a reminder or widget update will appear at an exact time. Please do not rely on the App alone for deadlines or events that are critical.

9. Privacy

Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy.

10. Third-Party Services

The App relies on third-party services such as Apple, Google Firebase, and Adapty, which have their own terms and policies. We are not responsible for third-party services, their availability, or their changes.

11. Intellectual Property

The App, including its software, design, text, graphics, and branding, belongs to us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not give you any ownership rights in the App.

12. Changes and Availability

We may update, change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the App at any time, and we may update these Terms. Changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Continuing to use the App after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or suitable for your purposes, or that reminders, widgets, or syncing between you and your partner will always be timely or accurate.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost data, lost profits, or missed events or reminders, arising from or related to the App or these Terms. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations, so they may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits mandatory consumer rights under applicable law.

15. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you violate these Terms or use the App unlawfully. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by applicable law, without limiting any mandatory consumer protection rights you have in your country or region.
