Terms of Use
The short version
- Our apps are licensed to you for personal use on Apple devices you own or control.
- Apple handles all payments and refunds. You keep every right you have under the Australian Consumer Law.
- Weather, radar and alert information can be late, incomplete or wrong. Our apps are not an emergency warning system. Always follow official warnings.
- No security app catches every threat, and Backup Scheduler only schedules Apple's Time Machine. Keep your own backups.
- Questions or complaints: info@vorosinnovation.com.
1. About these Terms
These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Voros Innovation & Business Services Pty Ltd (ACN 145 977 724), trading as Voros Innovation ("we", "us", "our").
They apply to every app we publish on the App Store and Mac App Store, including iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV versions, widgets and screensavers (each an "App"), and to our website at vorinn.com (together, the "Services").
By downloading, installing or using an App, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services and delete the App.
If you are under 18, please read these Terms with a parent or guardian and make sure they agree to them, including for any purchases.
2. Your licence to use our apps
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to download, install and use each App for your personal, non-commercial purposes on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions (which allow, for example, use by members of your Family Sharing group).
You must not, and must not help anyone else to:
- copy, sell, rent, lease, lend, sublicense, redistribute or make an App available over a network where it could be used by multiple devices at once;
- decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or try to derive the source code of an App, except to the extent the law expressly allows this despite this restriction;
- extract, record, download or redistribute the videos, images, sounds, wallpapers, radar imagery or other content in an App, other than using it inside the App or as a wallpaper or screensaver on your own devices as the App intends;
- remove, bypass or tamper with in-app purchase features, advertising, security features or proprietary notices;
- use automated means to scrape or overload our servers or our providers' servers; or
- use an App in breach of any law or in a way that infringes anyone else's rights.
Some content in our Apps is licensed to us by third parties. That content is provided for display inside the App only.
3. Purchases, subscriptions and refunds
Some Apps are paid, and some offer optional in-app purchases, such as a one-time "Full Version" or "Remove Ads" upgrade. All payments are processed by Apple under Apple's terms. We never receive your card or payment details.
- Prices are shown in the App Store before you buy, in your local currency, and include any taxes Apple collects.
- One-time purchases unlock the features described at the time of purchase for the Apple Account used to buy them. Use "Restore Purchases" in the App to restore them on another device signed in to the same Apple Account. Where Family Sharing is enabled for a purchase, it is shared as Apple allows.
- Subscriptions, if an App offers them, renew automatically at the end of each period at the then-current price unless you turn off auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple Account settings. Cancelling stops future renewals; you keep access until the end of the period you have paid for. If we raise a subscription price, Apple will tell you in advance and, where required, ask for your consent.
- Free trials, if offered, convert to a paid subscription when the trial ends unless you cancel before then.
- Refunds are handled by Apple. You can request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. Nothing in these Terms limits any right to a refund or other remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law or other consumer protection law (see section 10).
4. Advertising
Free versions of some Apps show advertisements supplied by third-party advertising networks. We do not choose individual ads and do not endorse the products or services advertised. Any dealings you have with an advertiser are between you and that advertiser. How advertising uses data, and how to limit it, is explained in our Privacy Policy.
5. Weather, radar and alerts: important limits
Our weather Apps are for general information only. They are not an emergency warning system and must not be your only source of information when your safety, or the safety of other people or property, is at risk.
- Forecasts, radar imagery, rain nowcasts, hurricane tracks, maps and severe weather alerts in our Apps come from third-party sources, including government agencies such as the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and its National Weather Service, and commercial data providers. We do not create or verify that data.
- Weather information is a prediction or a near-real-time estimate. It can be delayed, incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable, including during severe weather when it matters most.
- Notifications and alerts may arrive late or not at all. Delivery depends on things outside our control, including your device settings, Focus and notification permissions, location permissions, battery settings, network coverage, Apple's Push Notification service and our data providers.
- Alert coverage differs by country. Many alerts, including NOAA warnings, cover only certain regions such as the United States.
- Always monitor official warnings from your national weather service (for example the National Weather Service in the US or the Bureau of Meteorology in Australia) and follow the instructions of emergency services and local authorities.
- Do not use our Apps for aviation, marine navigation, or any purpose where an error or delay could lead to death, personal injury or significant damage to property or the environment.
6. Security and backup apps
Antivirus Zap and Adware Zap. No security software can detect or remove every threat. Our security Apps may miss some malicious software and may occasionally flag a harmless file. Please review results before removing anything, and keep current backups of your files.
Backup Scheduler. Backup Scheduler only tells Apple's Time Machine when to start a backup. Time Machine, not our App, performs and stores backups, and we cannot control whether a backup starts, completes or can be restored. Check your backups regularly and keep more than one copy of important data.
7. Third-party services and data
Our Apps use services provided by third parties, such as Apple's maps and push notifications, weather and radar data providers, and the analytics and advertising providers listed in our Privacy Policy. Your use of those services may also be subject to the third party's own terms. Our Apps and website may link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for third-party services, content or websites, but this does not limit any rights you have under section 10.
You are responsible for any mobile data or internet charges you incur while using the Apps.
8. Updates, changes and availability
- We may release updates to fix problems, improve features, meet legal requirements or support new devices. Some updates may be required to keep using an App.
- Some features need an internet connection and depend on third-party data. We aim to keep the Services available but cannot promise they will always be uninterrupted or error-free.
- Over time we may change or remove features, stop supporting older devices or operating systems, or stop offering an App. Where a change significantly reduces a feature you paid for, we will try to give you reasonable notice. If you are entitled to a remedy under the Australian Consumer Law or other law, this section does not affect it.
9. Intellectual property and feedback
The Apps, the website and all content in them, including software, designs, text, graphics, videos, sounds and trademarks, are owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. Apart from the licence in section 2, these Terms do not give you any rights in them.
If you send us ideas, suggestions or feedback, you give us a free, worldwide, perpetual licence to use them to improve our products, without any obligation to you. You keep any other rights you have in your feedback.
10. Australian Consumer Law and your statutory rights
Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any guarantee, right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified.
If you live outside Australia, you may also have mandatory rights under the consumer protection laws of the country where you live. These Terms do not take those rights away. Every limitation and exclusion in these Terms applies only to the extent permitted by law.
11. Disclaimer
Subject to section 10, and to the extent permitted by law, the Services are provided "as is" and "as available", and we exclude all warranties, conditions and representations not expressly set out in these Terms, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement.
12. Limitation of liability
Subject to section 10, and to the extent permitted by law:
- we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill or opportunity, arising out of or in connection with the Services or these Terms, however caused;
- we are not liable for any loss arising from your reliance on weather, radar or alert information, or from an alert, notification or scan result that was delayed, missed, inaccurate or not delivered; and
- our total liability to you for all claims arising out of or in connection with the Services or these Terms is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the relevant App or in-app purchase in the 12 months before the claim arose, and AUD 50.
Where our liability for failing to comply with a consumer guarantee can lawfully be limited, it is limited to supplying the services again or paying the cost of having them supplied again. Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for any other liability that cannot be limited by law.
13. Your responsibilities
You are responsible for your use of the Services and for complying with these Terms and the law. You agree to compensate us for any loss we reasonably incur as a direct result of your breach of section 2 or your unlawful use of the Services, except to the extent the loss was caused or contributed to by us.
14. Ending these Terms
You can stop using the Services at any time by deleting the Apps. We may suspend or end your licence to use an App if you seriously breach these Terms, or breach them and do not fix the breach within a reasonable time after we ask. When the licence ends, you must stop using the App and delete it. Sections 5 and 9 to 18 continue to apply after these Terms end.
15. Apple App Store terms
If you got an App from the App Store, Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Standard EULA") also applies to it. These Terms add to the Standard EULA. If they conflict about your licence to use an App, the Standard EULA prevails. You and we also acknowledge that:
- Agreement with us. These Terms are between you and us only, not Apple Inc. ("Apple"). We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the Apps and their content.
- Scope of licence. Your licence is limited to a non-transferable licence to use the App on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the App may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you through Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
- Maintenance and support. We are solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support for the Apps, as set out in these Terms or required by law. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the Apps.
- Warranty. We are solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If an App fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of that App to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the Apps, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty are our responsibility, subject to these Terms.
- Product claims. We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the Apps or your possession and use of them, including product liability claims, claims that an App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy or similar laws, including in connection with any use of HealthKit or HomeKit.
- Intellectual property. If a third party claims that an App or your possession and use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of that claim.
- Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country that is subject to a US Government embargo or that has been designated by the US Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Contact. Questions, complaints or claims about the Apps can be sent to Voros Innovation at info@vorosinnovation.com.
- Third-party terms. You must comply with any applicable third-party terms when using an App, for example your wireless data service agreement.
- Third-party beneficiary. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. Once you accept these Terms, Apple will have the right, and will be deemed to have accepted the right, to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
16. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect changes in our Apps, the law or our business. We will post the updated Terms on this page with a new effective date. If a change materially affects your rights, we will give you reasonable notice before it takes effect, for example on our website or in the App, and at least 14 days where practicable. Changes do not apply to anything that happened before they took effect. If you do not agree to a change, you can stop using the Services and delete the Apps.
17. Governing law and disputes
If you have a problem with the Services, please contact us first at info@vorosinnovation.com. We will try to resolve it with you in good faith within 30 days.
These Terms are governed by the laws of South Australia, Australia. You and we submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of South Australia and the courts that can hear appeals from them. If you are a consumer living in another country, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of that country, and you may bring proceedings in your local courts where that law allows.
18. General
- Entire agreement. These Terms, our Privacy Policy and any terms shown to you when you make a purchase are the whole agreement between you and us about the Services.
- Severability. If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that part is read down or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the rest of these Terms stays in effect.
- No waiver. If we do not enforce a right straight away, we can still enforce it later.
- Transfer. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms. We may transfer our rights and obligations to a business that takes over the relevant App, if it agrees to honour these Terms.
- Events outside our control. We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, such as outages of third-party data or networks, but this does not affect your rights under section 10.
