Terms of Use

Important: Purrstep is an everyday aid and not a safety-critical alarm. Device settings, operating-system limits, battery and hardware can delay or prevent notices. Do not rely on the app alone for medication, deadlines or other important appointments. The app provides no diagnosis and promises no treatment.

1. Provider and scope

These terms apply to your use of the Purrstep app by Patrick Wagner, Darkstone, Uttendorf 13, 3385 Prinzersdorf, Austria. The terms of the store through which you obtain the app or make a purchase apply in addition. Mandatory consumer rights take precedence over deviating provisions.

2. Right of use

You receive a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable right to use Purrstep on supported devices within these terms and the store rules.

• The app must not be used unlawfully or to infringe the rights of third parties.
• Protective measures, purchase verification and technical usage limits must not be circumvented.
• Reverse engineering is permitted only to the extent mandatorily allowed by law.

3. Your content and files

You remain responsible for routines, steps, notes, results and exported files. Enter only content you may lawfully process, and check recipient and destination before you export or share a file. Export files are unencrypted.

Externally stored exports, email attachments and system backups are outside Purrstep’s control. Back up important data at your own responsibility. Importing a file transfers content, not a licence.

4. Time, notices and live display

Purrstep calculates times locally. Elapsed time never marks a step as done: a step is done only when you confirm it. Depending on the platform, the app can offer notifications, a live display (Pro), widgets (Pro) and shortcuts (Pro).

• Availability and accuracy depend on the device, the operating system and the permissions you have granted.
• Focus modes, silent mode, volume, battery saving and force-quitting the app can delay or prevent notices.
• After a restart or a change of the clock, a running routine counts as interrupted, and you decide how to continue.

5. Purrstep Free and Purrstep Pro

The free version remains usable without a purchase, without an account and without advertising, with up to three active routines. Purrstep Pro is an optional, non-consumable one-time purchase in the respective Apple or Google store ecosystem and unlocks additional features.

• It is not a subscription.
• Price, tax, payment and available payment methods are shown by the store before you complete the purchase.
• The 7-day trial starts only with an explicit tap, needs no payment details and never converts automatically into a purchase.
• A purchase applies to the store account and can be restored only within the same store ecosystem. Apple and Google purchases are separate and are not carried over to each other.
• If the Pro entitlement ends (end of trial, refund, revocation), nothing is deleted: your data is kept, Pro features are no longer usable, and routines beyond the free limits are archived on request, not deleted.
• Refunds, withdrawal and payment problems are governed by the store’s rules and mandatory consumer law.

6. Availability, changes and updates

We strive for a reliable app but do not guarantee availability at all times, free of errors or identical on every device. Operating systems, stores and system interfaces may change. Updates can fix bugs, improve security or adapt features to changed platform requirements. Material adverse changes to a paid scope of features occur only within what the law allows.

7. Warranty and liability

The statutory warranty rights apply. To the extent permitted by law, no guarantee is given that a particular notice will be delivered under all device, focus, silent or battery-saving states. We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for personal injury and under mandatory product-liability or consumer law. In cases of slight negligence we are liable, to the extent permitted by law, only for breach of essential contractual obligations and for the typically foreseeable damage.

8. Privacy and deletion

Details on local storage, backups, exports, RevenueCat, stores, support and deletion are in the Privacy Policy. “Delete all data” removes the app data on the current device; store receipts, exported files and system backups already written are not deleted by it.

9. Termination

You can stop using the app at any time, delete your data in the app and uninstall it. Store transactions already made and statutory retention obligations are not cancelled by this. In the event of substantial abusive or unlawful use, rights of use may be terminated within the limits of the law and the store rules.

10. Governing law, consumer rights and contact

Austrian law applies, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. For consumers this choice of law applies only insofar as it does not deprive them of mandatory protection of the state of their habitual residence. Statutory places of jurisdiction remain unaffected.

We have not submitted to an alternative dispute-resolution body and are not currently legally obliged to do so. Mandatory rights to complain, to a refund or to judicial enforcement remain unaffected. Questions about these terms: support@darkstone.app.
