Terms of Use
1. What these Terms are
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and K4M OÜ (“we”, “us”, “our”). They govern your use of the TraceYourTime application on iPhone and, in future releases, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac, and the associated website traceyourtime.com (together, the “Service”). By downloading, installing, or using the Service, you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not install or use the Service.
| Consumer rights If you are a consumer in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with mandatory consumer-protection law, nothing in these Terms limits your statutory rights. Where a provision of these Terms is inconsistent with those rights, the statutory rights prevail. |
2. The Service, in short
TraceYourTime reads events from your Apple Calendar to produce summaries of how you spend your time, provides a built-in timer that saves sessions back to a calendar you select, and offers additional productivity features. The Service does not provide medical, psychological, financial, or legal advice, and is not intended to diagnose or treat any condition. It is a productivity and reflection tool.
3. Eligibility
You may use the Service only if:
- You are at least 13 years old, or the minimum age required in your country to consent to information-society services under applicable law (for example, 14 in Austria, 15 in France, 16 in Germany).
- You have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
- Your use of the Service is not prohibited by applicable law, including export-control, sanctions, or other trade laws.
4. License
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the Service on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by us and our licensors.
What you may not do
You may not:
- Copy, modify, translate, reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service, except to the extent these activities are permitted by applicable law that cannot be waived by contract.
- Rent, lease, sublicense, sell, distribute, or otherwise transfer the Service.
- Remove or alter any proprietary notices.
- Use the Service to build a competing product, or to train any machine-learning model.
- Use the Service in a way that violates applicable law or the rights of any third party.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its related systems.
5. Your content
The Service lets you create content — favorites, goals, notes attached to sessions, photos you attach to sessions, and calendar events created via the timer (“Your Content”). You own Your Content. Because Your Content is stored on your device and, at your option, in your iCloud account, we receive no license to it beyond what is strictly necessary for the Service to function on your device. We will not sell, share, or use Your Content for any other purpose.
6. Access to Apple Calendar, Health, and other Apple services
The Service requires access to your Apple Calendar via the EventKit framework in order to read your events and, when you use the built-in timer, to create new events in a calendar you select. It may also request optional access to Apple Health (HealthKit), Location Services, Notifications, and Apple Focus Filters. You grant and control these permissions through the iOS (or future releases on iPadOS, watchOS and macOS) system prompts and can revoke them at any time in the system Settings. Revoking a required permission may prevent the Service from functioning correctly.
7. Subscriptions — TraceYourTime Pro and Expert
7.1 Plans
We offer the following paid plans, in addition to the free tier(Will be available in later releases):
- TraceYourTime Pro Monthly — billed monthly.
- TraceYourTime Pro Annual — billed annually.
- TraceYourTime Pro Lifetime — one-time purchase.
- TraceYourTime Expert Monthly — billed monthly.
- TraceYourTime Expert Annual — billed annually.
- TraceYourTime Expert Lifetime — one-time purchase.
Current prices are shown in the App Store at the time of purchase. Prices vary by country and are inclusive of applicable taxes where required. Each tier unlocks a different feature set as described in the in-app comparison and on our website.
“Lifetime” means a committed service period of five (5) years from the date of purchase during which the features available in that tier at the time of purchase will continue to be delivered. Where demand allows ongoing development beyond that period, the commitment will be extended. We will not silently revoke or downgrade a lifetime purchase within the committed period; if we ever cease to offer the Service as a whole, we will give reasonable notice and, where required by law, refund the unamortised portion of the purchase.
7.2 Billing and auto-renewal
Monthly and annual subscriptions (Pro and Expert) are billed through your Apple Account and auto-renew for the same term unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You manage and cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings; we do not have access to your payment information and cannot cancel on your behalf. Lifetime purchases are one-time and are not auto-renewed.
7.3 Free trial
We may offer a free trial of TraceYourTime Pro to eligible users on first launch. Unless cancelled before the end of the trial, the subscription will automatically convert into a paid subscription at the applicable price. We may also offer a trial of Expert from within the app. You may cancel at any time during the trial in your Apple Account settings.
7.4 Refunds
Refunds for in-app purchases (including Pro and Expert subscriptions and lifetime purchases) are handled by Apple and are subject to Apple’s refund policy (see reportaproblem.apple.com). If you are a consumer in the EU, the UK, or another jurisdiction with a statutory right of withdrawal, we inform you that digital content delivered immediately — which includes activating a Pro or Expert entitlement — is typically excluded from withdrawal once you have expressly consented to immediate performance and acknowledged the loss of the right. Your statutory rights in case of defective digital content are not affected.
7.5 Changes to pricing and paid-tier features
We may change prices for future subscription periods and add features to the Pro or Expert tier. We will give you at least 30 days’ notice of a price increase that would apply to your next renewal. A feature included in Pro or Expert today will not be removed from that tier and placed behind an additional paywall. A feature that is in the Free tier today will not be moved into Pro or Expert.
7.6 Upgrades and downgrades
You may upgrade from Pro to Expert at any time; Apple will handle proration according to its standard in-app purchase rules. Downgrades take effect at the end of the current billing period. Lifetime purchases are tier-specific; upgrading from a Pro Lifetime to Expert requires a separate Expert purchase (we may, at our discretion, offer a credit for the Pro Lifetime value when doing so).
8. Updates and changes to the Service
We may update the Service from time to time to improve it, to fix bugs, or to adapt to changes in Apple’s platforms. Updates may be required to continue using the Service. We may discontinue the Service or any feature with reasonable notice; if we discontinue a paid feature that was the reason you purchased a subscription, you may cancel and receive a pro-rata refund for the unused period through Apple’s refund process.
9. No warranty (as permitted by law)
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or correspondence to description. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that it will meet your requirements. Nothing in this section limits warranties that cannot be excluded under mandatory consumer law, including the legal guarantee of conformity under EU Directive 2019/770.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our aggregate liability to you under or in connection with these Terms, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, is limited to the greater of (a) the total amount you have paid to us for the Service in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, and (b) EUR 50. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill.
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes our liability for (a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence, (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or (c) any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law. If you are a consumer, the above limits do not apply to liability for intentional acts or gross negligence, or to claims under mandatory consumer-protection law.
11. Indemnity
If your use of the Service in breach of these Terms causes a third-party claim against us, you will reimburse us for reasonable costs (including legal fees) we incur in defending the claim, except to the extent the claim arose from our negligence or wilful misconduct. This section does not apply where you are a consumer acting outside your trade, business, or profession.
12. Termination
You may stop using the Service and terminate these Terms at any time by uninstalling the app. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms, or if we are required to do so by law. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including sections on your content, no warranty, limitation of liability, governing law, and dispute resolution — will survive.
13. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Estonia, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. If you are a consumer resident in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you benefit from the mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence, and the choice of Estonian law does not deprive you of those rights.
14. Dispute resolution
If you have a complaint, please first contact us at info@traceyourtime.com. We commit to trying in good faith to resolve any dispute informally within 30 days. If we cannot, the following applies:
- Consumers in the EU: you may also use the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr, and you retain the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence.
- Business users: any dispute that is not resolved informally will be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Harju County, Estonia.
15. Apple-specific provisions
The following provisions apply to use of the Service on Apple devices and are required by Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and Apple’s EULA, Apple’s EULA governs, but only to the extent required.
