The email address indicated above is used for contact in all matters related to the use of the App, including for submitting complaints.
04Scope and nature of the Service
4.1. The homdu app is a tool that supports the organisation, planning and management of building and renovation projects. The App is supplementary and organisational in nature.
4.2. Within the App the User may, in particular:
- explore the App in Demo mode, without an Account (section 6),
- after signing in, create and run Projects and add and manage their stages,
- manage tasks, costs, the budget and deadlines,
- add documents, files, links, notes and journal entries,
- add photos and create albums,

- import content from other apps via the system share extension,
- synchronise data between their own devices through iCloud (clause 7.7),
- share a Project with other people and use Projects shared by other people (section 12),
- receive reminders created on the device and push notifications; displaying them requires permission in iOS (clause 7.6),
- when the App language is Polish — use guide content, Partner Content and sponsored sections, and the Referral programme (clause 4.6).
4.3. The App does not provide construction, design, contracting, advisory, legal, financial or investment services. The App does not broker contracts with contractors and does not guarantee the outcome of a Project. Guide content and Partner Content are informational in nature and do not constitute individual advice.
4.4. Using the App is free of charge. In version 2.0 the App contains no paid features, in-app purchases or subscriptions. The Provider may introduce paid features in the future; using them will require the User's separate, explicit acceptance of the terms and price.
4.5. Some App features rely on third-party services, including Apple services (e.g. "Sign in with Apple", iCloud/CloudKit synchronisation, notifications) and other infrastructure and tooling providers. Use of these features may additionally be subject to the terms of those entities.
4.6. The App is available in Polish and English. The following are available only when the App language is Polish: the guides tab, Partner Content and sponsored sections (including financial suggestions and the adviser contact form), the Referral programme, and the "Content and tips" notification category (shown in the Polish interface as "Treści i poradniki"). After the App language is changed to a language other than Polish, these features are not displayed.
05Technical requirements
5.1. To use the App you need:
- an iPhone or iPad running iOS or iPadOS 18.0 or later; the current minimum version is stated on the App's page on the App Store,
- a current version of the App downloaded from the App Store,
- access to the internet — to download the App, sign in, synchronise, share Projects, receive push notifications and load remotely fetched content; data saved on the device is also available offline,
- to create your own Projects — an Account (signing in with "Sign in with Apple"); to synchronise them — additionally an active iCloud service on the User's Apple account,
- to share a Project — an Account and an active iCloud account; to accept an invitation — an iCloud account on the device,
- to import content from other apps via the system share extension — system version 18.6 or later.
5.2. Some features (e.g. synchronisation, notifications, sign-in, remotely fetched content) require an active internet connection and the availability of third-party services. A lack of connection or the unavailability of these services may limit the availability of some features.
5.3. The Provider does not bear the cost of data transmission or the User's telecommunications operator charges related to using the App.
5.4. Using services provided electronically carries typical risks, including the risk of malware and unauthorised access to the device. We recommend using up-to-date security software and system updates.
06User Account and Demo mode
6.1. Creating your own Project and synchronising data require an Account. An Account is created by signing in with "Sign in with Apple"; the App does not provide any other way of registering. Without an Account the User may use Demo mode (clause 6.6). A User who already has Projects saved on the device — in particular Projects created in version 1.x of the App or before signing out — may continue to use them without an Account. Projects and changes saved without an Account are stored on the device only and are not synchronised.
6.2. Synchronising data and sharing a Project require an Account and an active iCloud service on the User's Apple account. When the User signs in, Apple passes a user identifier to the App and, at the first sign-in, also the name and email address if Apple provides them. The rules for processing this data are described in the Privacy Policy.
6.3. The agreement for the use of the App is concluded when the App is downloaded and launched and the Terms are accepted, and – for features requiring an Account – when the Account is created.
6.4. The User is obliged to use the App in accordance with the Terms, the law and the principles of social conduct, and to provide true data that does not infringe the rights of third parties.
6.5. The agreement for the use of the App is concluded for an indefinite period. The User may end their use of the App at any time in the manner described in section 18.
6.6. Demo mode. Without an Account the User may use a sample Project generated in the App; a signed-in User can switch it on in the App's Settings. The sample Project's data, including changes made by the User, is stored on the device only; the App does not send it to iCloud or to any server, and it cannot be shared with other people. This does not apply to the stage key (a simplified form of the stage name, including a stage added or renamed by the User), which the App sends to the Provider when guide content and Partner Content are fetched while the App language is Polish (section 4.8 of the Privacy Policy), or to analytics and marketing events transmitted once consents have been given (sections 4.3 and 4.4 of the Privacy Policy), which are also generated while the sample Project is being used. The people, entries and amounts shown in the sample Project are fictitious and serve only to present the App; the sample Project may show elements that the App does not provide in a Shared Project, in particular an indication of who authored an entry (clause 12.10). The sample Project is deleted when the User creates their own Project, manually removes the sample Project or uses the "Delete account and all data" feature; changing the App language recreates it from scratch, without the changes made. The sample Project's data is not transferred to the Account.
6.7. The App is not directed at persons under 16 years of age. The Provider does not verify the age of Users.
07Rules for using the App's features
7.1. Projects and stages. The User independently creates Projects, adds stages, tasks, costs and deadlines, and is responsible for their correctness and currency. Financial and scheduling data entered by the User is supplementary in nature and does not constitute a binding quote or schedule.
7.2. Documents, photos, albums, links and notes. The User may add materials related to a Project. Files from the "Documents" tab and journal entry photos are stored on the device only; the App does not send them to iCloud. Expense attachments, covers and backgrounds may be sent to the User's iCloud (clause 7.7); album photos — only in the cases indicated in clause 7.7. The User is responsible for holding the rights to these materials and for their content (sections 8 and 9).
7.3. Contacts and contractors. The User may collect contact details of contractors and other people, and save ratings and notes about contractors. By adding third-party data, the User declares that they are entitled to process it for that purpose. If the Project is shared, this data — including telephone numbers, email addresses, ratings and notes — becomes visible to Collaborators (clause 12.3). In version 2.0 of the App, contractor ratings and the marking of a contractor as recommended are not published or shown to other users of the App — except to Collaborators of a Shared Project (clause 12.3); the App does not run a public database of contractors or reviews.
7.4. Share extension. The App allows links, images and files to be imported from other apps via the system share extension; the imported content is added to the stage chosen by the User. The User is responsible for content imported into the App.
7.5. Guide content. When the App language is Polish, the App provides informational and guide materials. These are general in nature, do not take into account the User's individual situation and do not replace the advice of a specialist.
7.6. Notifications. The App uses two kinds of notifications:
- reminders created on the device (task due date, budget alert, inactivity in a Project),
- push notifications sent by the Provider (messages encouraging the User to return to the App, and service messages).
Displaying a notification requires the User's permission in iOS; the permission can be withdrawn at any time in the device settings. The App registers the device for notifications every time it is launched — also without an Account and regardless of that permission; the scope of data and the legal basis are described in section 4.5 of the Privacy Policy. The User may switch off push notification categories other than "System notifications" in the App (Settings → "Notifications" → "Notification settings"); the switches are shown once permission has been granted in iOS and do not apply to reminders created on the device.
7.7. Data synchronisation. After the User signs in, if iCloud is active on the User's Apple account, the App saves Project content in the User's private iCloud database and synchronises it between the devices on which the User is signed in to the App. Projects saved on the device before the first sign-in are sent to that database at that sign-in. Synchronisation does not cover: the sample Project in Demo mode, files from the "Documents" tab, journal entry photos, the content of files added in a stage's files section (only their name and type are synchronised), finance form and financial profile data, or App settings. The App sends album photos to iCloud only on specific events — in particular at the first sign-in and when sharing of a Project is created or stopped; photos added to an album later may remain on the device only. Synchronisation does not take place in real time and depends on the internet connection and the availability of Apple services. Where a Project is shared (section 12), data is also synchronised between the participants of the Shared Project. Details are described in the Privacy Policy.
7.8. Hints and calculations. The App may show hints and calculations created automatically, in particular: data recognised from receipts and invoices (OCR), budget forecasts and indicators, the result of the financing calculator, suggested budgets, stages and tasks, and lists of documents marked as required or recommended. These are supplementary in nature, may be incomplete or incorrect, and do not replace the advice of a specialist or a check of the requirements arising from the law. The User should verify them before relying on them.
08Rules for adding User Content
8.1. The App allows the User to add User Content, including photos, notes, documents, files, links, contact details and data concerning contractors and Projects.
8.2. By adding User Content, the User declares and warrants that:
- they hold all rights or consents necessary to enter and use it in the App,
- the content does not infringe the law, the rights of third parties (including copyright, personal rights and the right to privacy) or good morals,
- the content does not contain data entered without an appropriate legal basis, in particular personal data of third parties that the User is not entitled to process.
8.3. It is prohibited to add content that is:
- unlawful, including content infringing intellectual property rights or personal rights,
- infringing the privacy of others without an appropriate legal basis,
- offensive, discriminatory, or inciting hatred or violence,
- containing malware or threatening security,
- misleading or otherwise infringing the rights of third parties.
8.4. User Content remains the property of the User. The Provider claims no rights to it beyond the scope necessary to provide the Service (e.g. storage, display and synchronisation for the User), in accordance with section 14.
8.5. To the extent that User Content is stored solely locally on the device or in the User's private iCloud space, the Provider generally has no access to it and does not moderate it. However, if the Provider obtains credible information about the unlawful nature of content transmitted via the Provider's services, it may take the measures provided for by law.
09User's liability for User Content
9.1. The User bears sole liability for User Content, including for its legality, correctness, completeness and currency, and for the consequences of its use.
9.2. The User is responsible for ensuring that the third-party data they add (including contractor and contact data) is entered and used in accordance with the law, including data-protection law.
9.3. If a third party or an authorised body raises claims related to User Content, the User undertakes to cooperate with the Provider in clarifying the matter to the extent permitted by law. This provision does not limit the rights of a Consumer arising from mandatory provisions of law.
9.4. The App does not include a feature for backing up or exporting a whole Project. Synchronisation in iCloud (clause 7.7) is not a backup: it also carries over changes and deletions. Files from the "Documents" tab, journal entry photos and album photos not sent to iCloud (clause 7.7) are stored on the device only; they may be included in the device backup made by iOS, if the User uses one. The User should keep their own copies, outside the App, of the documents and files that are particularly important to them. The Provider has no access to User Content stored on the device and in iCloud and cannot restore it after it has been deleted by the User, after the "Delete account and all data" feature has been used, after a Shared Project has been deleted or after the Project Owner has revoked access.
10Partner Content, sponsored materials and financial suggestions
10.1. When the App language is Polish, the App may present Partner Content, including sponsored materials, partner sections and suggestions of a financial nature.
10.2. Partner Content and financial suggestions are informational and marketing in nature and do not constitute individual legal, financial, tax, technical or investment advice. They also do not constitute an offer within the meaning of the law, unless expressly stated otherwise.
10.3. Decisions about using a partner's offers, services or products are made by the User independently and at their own risk. Any legal relationship arising from using a partner's offer is between the User and that partner directly.
10.4. The App may contain links and references to external websites and services, including partner services. These sites are subject to their own terms and privacy policies. The Provider is not responsible for the content or operation of third-party sites.
10.5. Presenting Partner Content does not constitute a recommendation within the meaning of regulations on professional advice, nor a confirmation of the quality of a given partner's services, unless expressly stated otherwise.
10.6. Financial suggestions and the adviser contact form are available only when the App language is Polish. In version 2.0 of the App, data entered in the form and in the financial profile is saved on the User's device only; the App does not send it to the Provider, to partners or to iCloud. Saving the form does not pass a request to a partner and does not create a contract with a partner. Information about what event related to saving the form may be transmitted once consents have been given is set out in section 4.9 of the Privacy Policy. Partner links open external services; the App does not attach data identifying the User to them.
11Referral programme
11.1. The Referral programme allows the User to recommend the App to other people using a referral code. It is available only when the App language is Polish.
11.2. In version 2.0 of the App, the Referral programme consists solely of levels and badges shown in the App; it does not provide monetary or material rewards. A Referral programme profile is created automatically, to the extent described in section 4.8 of the Privacy Policy. The Provider may change, suspend or end the Referral programme at any time, while respecting Users' acquired rights. The rules for any other benefits will be set out in the App before they are introduced.
11.3. Use of the Referral programme must not breach the Terms or the law; in particular, it is prohibited to use unfair practices, create fictitious referrals or abuse the mechanism to obtain undue benefits.
11.4. If abuse is found, the Provider may withhold or revoke benefits obtained in breach of the Referral programme rules.
12Sharing a Project
12.1. The App allows a Project Owner to share a selected Project with one or more people through Apple's CloudKit service. A Project can only be shared as a whole — it is not possible to share selected stages or individual entries; the content and files excluded from a share are listed in clauses 12.6 and 12.7. Sharing requires an Account and an active iCloud account. The sample Project in Demo mode cannot be shared.
12.2. Sharing is voluntary and is initiated by the Project Owner in Apple's system share sheet, where the Project Owner chooses the people to invite and how the invitation is sent. The invitation contains the name of the Project. Only invited people have access, and they obtain it after accepting the invitation. Accepting an invitation requires an iCloud account on the device; ongoing synchronisation of changes in a Shared Project requires being signed in to the App.
12.3. The Project Owner decides with whom to share the Project and is responsible for that choice and for being entitled to disclose all content and personal data contained in the Project. Collaborators receive the Shared Project's data, including third-party data entered by the Project Owner — in particular contractor contacts with telephone numbers, email addresses, ratings and notes, the address and the plot or property details, expenses, the budget and expense attachments. The Project Owner should share the Project only with people to whom they are allowed to disclose this information.
12.4. Each Collaborator's permission level — view or edit — is set by the Project Owner in Apple's system share sheet and may be changed by the Project Owner at any time. The App applies these settings: a Collaborator with view permission may browse the Shared Project but cannot change it; a Collaborator with edit permission may add, change and delete its content. The permission applies to the whole Shared Project; the App does not support separate permissions for individual modules or individual entries. A change of permissions and a revocation of access take effect after the Collaborator's device synchronises.
12.5. As a rule, the App sends changes made by a participant with edit permission to the Shared Project and makes them available to the other participants on synchronisation. When the same entry is changed on more than one device, the App as a rule keeps one version of it — the one saved or sent later — as a whole, without merging the changes; the other version is replaced and cannot be restored. For some kinds of entries (for example albums and stage file descriptions) a later change may not be applied on devices that already have the entry. The App does not guarantee that every change or deletion will be sent and reflected on the devices of all participants.
12.6. The following are not shared as part of a Shared Project: finance form and financial profile data, notification settings, identifiers of events in the private iOS Calendar, files from the "Documents" tab, journal entry photos and the content of files added in a stage's files section (only their name and type are shared — clause 12.7). The App does not save in a Shared Project the name or email address provided by Apple at sign-in. The remaining content of the Shared Project, including the personal data it contains (clause 12.3), is shared with Collaborators, subject to clauses 12.5 and 12.7. The list of share participants is kept and displayed by Apple in the system share sheet.
12.7. As part of a Shared Project the App may transfer files: expense attachments, Project and stage covers, stage backgrounds and album photos — up to 50 MB each. Some photos are transferred in their original form, together with the metadata saved by the device, such as the date or location. For files added in a stage's files section, only their name and type are transferred. Photos added to an album after the share was created, and photos added by a Collaborator, may not be transferred to the other participants. The App does not guarantee that every file will be transferred, or that it will be available or displayed on every participant's device.
12.8. The Project Owner may at any time revoke a Collaborator's access or stop sharing in Apple's system share sheet. The Collaborator then loses access to the Project's current data. Deleting a Shared Project by the Project Owner does not by itself stop the share and does not delete all of its data from the Project Owner's iCloud — the remaining data and files may still be accessible to Collaborators; the Project Owner should therefore stop sharing before deleting a Shared Project. A copy of the data downloaded earlier may remain on the Collaborator's device until it is removed by the App or by the Collaborator; after access is revoked, the App blocks editing of that copy. The Provider cannot remove such a copy remotely. Stopping sharing does not by itself delete the Project's data from the Project Owner's iCloud.
12.9. A Collaborator may leave a Shared Project at any time by removing it from the Project list in the App (the "Remove local copy" command); the App then leaves the share and removes the saved data of that Project from the Collaborator's device. Some previously downloaded files (in particular stage covers and backgrounds) may remain in the App's storage until the App is removed from the device. Content and files added by a Collaborator become part of the Project Owner's Project and remain in the Project Owner's iCloud also after the Collaborator leaves the share; to delete them, the Collaborator should do so before leaving the share or ask the Project Owner. Deleting an entry in the App does not always delete all related data and files from the Project Owner's iCloud (for example the attachment file of a deleted expense). Leaving a Shared Project does not transfer ownership of the Project. The "Delete account and all data" feature does not stop or leave shares (clause 18.2).
12.10. The App does not provide: transfer of Project ownership, a change history, information about who authored an entry, notifications about changes made by other participants, real-time synchronisation, or recovery of data after a Shared Project has been deleted or the Project Owner has revoked access.
12.11. Users must not share content that is unlawful, infringes third-party rights or contains personal data that they are not authorised to disclose.
12.12. Project sharing relies on Apple services. Its availability may depend on the user's Apple account, iCloud configuration, internet connection, the availability of Apple services, and the versions of the system and the App installed on the device.
13Rules of permitted and prohibited use
13.1. The User is obliged to use the App in accordance with its intended purpose, the Terms and the law.
13.2. In particular, it is prohibited to:
- use the App in a way that infringes the rights of the Provider or third parties,
- take actions that disrupt the operation of the App or its infrastructure, including overloading it, interfering with the code or circumventing security measures,
- gain unauthorised access to the App, other Users' accounts or data,
- use the App for unlawful purposes, including to distribute unlawful content,
- automatically download or copy content (scraping) without the Provider's consent,
- use the App for commercial purposes in a way that goes beyond its intended use, without the Provider's consent.
13.3. In the event of a material or repeated breach of the Terms, the Provider may – while respecting consumer-protection law – call on the User to cease the breaches and, if they continue, limit or end the provision of the Service to that User.
14Intellectual property rights
14.1. The App, its interface, code, structure, graphic elements, trademarks, the "homdu" name and homdu Content are subject to the intellectual property rights of the Provider or the entities with which the Provider cooperates, and are legally protected.
14.2. Upon starting to use the App, the Provider grants the User a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App on the User's devices, solely within the scope consistent with its intended purpose and these Terms. The licence does not include the right to grant sublicences.
14.3. Beyond the limits permitted by mandatory provisions of law, it is prohibited to:
- copy, modify, distribute or make publicly available the App or homdu Content,
- resell, rent, lend or otherwise commercially make the App available to third parties,
- decompile, disassemble or otherwise reverse-engineer the source code,
- remove or modify copyright notices or trademarks.
14.4. User Content remains the property of the User. The User grants the Provider a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use User Content solely within the scope and for the time necessary to provide the Service to the User (in particular storage, display, technical processing and synchronisation). This licence expires when the relevant content is deleted or when use of the App ends, subject to the technical periods resulting from backups and the operation of third-party services.
15Liability and its limits
15.1. The Provider makes efforts to ensure the App works correctly and as described, and is liable under the rules set out by law, including consumer-protection provisions on the conformity of a digital service with the contract.
15.2. The App is a tool that supports the organisation of a Project. The Provider does not guarantee that a specific Project outcome will be achieved nor the correctness of decisions made by the User on the basis of data or materials gathered in the App.
15.3. To the extent permitted by law, the Provider is not liable for:
- the acts, omissions, service quality or content of contractors, partners and other third parties,
- the content and operation of external websites and services to which links lead,
- decisions made by the User on the basis of homdu Content, Partner Content or data entered by the User,
- the consequences of the User entering incorrect, incomplete or unlawful data,
- interruptions or limitations in the availability of third-party services (in particular Apple, cloud providers, the internet) over which the Provider has no control,
- loss of data resulting from circumstances beyond the Provider's control, including the operation of the User's device or third-party services.
15.4. Provisions limiting liability do not exclude or limit the Provider's liability to the extent that such exclusion or limitation is impermissible under mandatory provisions of law, in particular towards Consumers. In relation to Users who are not Consumers, the Provider's liability for lost profits is excluded to the extent permitted by law.
16Service availability, updates and technical downtime
16.1. The Provider strives to ensure the App is available as continuously as possible, but does not guarantee its uninterrupted and error-free operation, in particular due to its dependence on third-party services and the internet.
16.2. The Provider may update the App, including updates necessary to maintain conformity with the contract, security or compliance with the law. Some updates may be necessary for the App to continue working correctly.
16.3. The Provider may introduce technical downtime, in particular for maintenance, development or to ensure security. Where possible, planned downtime will be carried out in a way that limits inconvenience to Users.
16.4. The Provider may modify, develop or withdraw individual App features. Material changes limiting the scope of the Service will be communicated to Users in a manner appropriate to their nature, while respecting the rights of Consumers.
17Security of the Account and access credentials
17.1. The User is obliged to keep the data enabling access to the App confidential and to secure the device on which they use the App.
17.2. Authentication takes place using "Sign in with Apple" and an Apple account, so access security also depends on the security of the User's Apple account. We recommend using device security (e.g. a passcode, biometrics) and two-factor authentication of the Apple account.
17.3. The User should promptly inform the Provider of any detected unauthorised access to the Account or breach of data security, using the address indicated in section 3.
17.4. The Provider applies adequate technical and organisational measures to protect data, described in detail in the Privacy Policy.
18Account deletion and ending use of the App
18.1. The User may at any time, without giving a reason and at no cost, stop using the App, in particular by:
- using the "Delete account and all data" feature in the App's Settings (clause 18.2); the feature is also available without an Account,
- removing the App from the device.
Signing out ("Sign out of Apple ID") by itself ends synchronisation but does not delete data from the device or from iCloud.
18.2. The "Delete account and all data" feature. The feature is available in the App's Settings. Using it — with the exceptions listed below — deletes from the User's private iCloud database the Project content saved by the App, deletes the App's data saved on the device (including Demo mode data and finance form and financial profile data), signs the User out and deletes the saved consent choice, and requests that the device be marked as inactive in the Provider's notification register (this requires an internet connection). The operation cannot be undone.
The feature does not delete all data. In particular, the following remain:
- in iCloud — files sent by the App (expense attachments, covers, backgrounds, album photos) and the Project budget; the feature does not stop shares of which the User is the Project Owner or leave shares in which the User is a Collaborator, so the data of Shared Projects may also remain in iCloud,
- on the device — files from the "Documents" tab, journal entry photos and some technical settings, including the saved Referral programme profile with its identifier, until the App is removed,
- with the Provider — the device record (marked as inactive) and Referral programme data, until deleted at the User's request; the next time the App is launched the device may be registered again, without a user identifier (clause 7.6),
- with Apple — the link between the App and the Apple account in "Sign in with Apple".
How to complete the deletion is described in sections 8.5–8.7 of the Privacy Policy. If the deletion is interrupted, for example because there is no connection, the feature must be run again.
Removing the App from the device deletes the App's files and settings saved on the device, but does not delete data in iCloud or data held by the Provider. A device backup made earlier by iOS may still contain the App's data.
18.3. The Provider may end the provision of the Service to a User for important reasons, in particular in the event of a material breach of the Terms or the law, after first calling on the User to cease the breaches, unless immediate action is necessary for security or legal reasons. This provision does not infringe the rights of Consumers.
18.4. Right of withdrawal. Where use of the App is free of charge, a Consumer may stop using it at any time without incurring costs. If paid features are introduced, the Consumer will have the rights arising from the Act on consumer rights, including – subject to the exceptions provided for by the Act – the right to withdraw from the contract within 14 days; detailed information will then be provided before the paid contract is concluded.
19Complaints, contact and support
19.1. The User may submit complaints about the operation of the App and the Services provided to the email address: homdu.app@gmail.com.
19.2. A complaint should contain at least: details enabling contact with the User, a description of the objections and – where possible – information about the device and the App version.
19.3. The Provider considers a complaint without undue delay, no later than within 14 days of receiving it, and informs the User of how it was handled at the contact address provided. If the law provides for a different deadline, the deadline resulting from the law applies.
19.4. Out-of-court dispute resolution. A Consumer may use out-of-court methods of handling complaints and pursuing claims, including the assistance of a district (municipal) consumer ombudsman, consumer organisations and the Voivodeship Inspectorate of the Trade Inspection (Inspekcja Handlowa). Information about these methods is available on the website of the Polish Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (uokik.gov.pl). Use of these methods is voluntary.
20Changes to the Terms
20.1. The Provider may make changes to the Terms for important reasons, in particular in the event of: a change in the law, a change in the scope or manner of providing the Service, development of the App, security considerations or organisational changes on the Provider's side.
20.2. The Provider will inform of a change to the Terms in a manner appropriate to its nature, in particular through a notice in the App or an update of the document together with an indication of the date.
20.3. A change to the Terms does not deprive the User of acquired rights. If the User does not accept the changes, they may end their use of the App in the manner described in section 18.
20.4. The current version of the Terms is available at all times in the App and on the website associated with the App.
21App Store provisions (Apple)
21.1. The App is distributed via the App Store. These Terms are an agreement between the User and the Provider, and not between the User and Apple. The Provider, not Apple, is responsible for the App and its content.
21.2. The licence to use the App is limited to a non-transferable right to use the App on Apple-branded devices that the User owns or controls, in accordance with the usage rules set out in the App Store terms.
21.3. The Provider alone, and not Apple, is responsible for providing support and maintenance for the App and for handling claims relating to the App, including product-liability claims, non-compliance with regulations and infringement of rights, including intellectual property rights.
21.4. The User declares that they are not located in a country subject to an embargo and are not on any list of entities subject to restrictions, to the extent resulting from applicable regulations.
21.5. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon the User's acceptance of the Terms, are entitled to enforce their provisions against the User in respect of the use of the App.
21.6. When using the App, the User is also obliged to comply with the applicable terms of third-party services, including the App Store terms.
22Governing law and final provisions
22.1. Matters not regulated by the Terms are governed by Polish law, in particular the Civil Code, the Act on providing services electronically and the Act on consumer rights. The choice of Polish law does not deprive a Consumer of the protection arising from mandatory provisions of the law of the country of their habitual residence.
22.2. If any provision of the Terms proves to be invalid or ineffective, the remaining provisions remain in force.
22.3. Any disputes will be resolved by the common court having jurisdiction under the law. For Users who are not Consumers, the competent court is the court having local jurisdiction over the Provider's registered office.
22.4. The Terms enter into force on the date indicated at the beginning of the document.
