4.2. Within the App the User may, in particular:

• create and run Projects and add and manage their stages,
• manage tasks, costs and deadlines,
• add and store documents, files, links and notes,
• add photos and create albums and add descriptions to them,

• receive push notifications (after giving consent),
• use data synchronisation between the User's devices.

4.4. Using the App in its basic scope is free of charge, unless expressly stated otherwise. 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.

05Technical requirements

5.1. To use the App you need:

• a mobile device running an iOS version supported by the App,
• access to the internet,
• for selected features, including data synchronisation and Project sharing – an Apple ID account, an active iCloud service and access to the internet,
• a current version of the App downloaded from the App Store.

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 use without an account

6.1. Some App features can be used without creating an Account, in local mode, where data is stored on the User's device.

6.2. The full range of features (including data synchronisation between devices and Project sharing) may require authentication of the User, in particular using the Sign in with Apple service.

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.

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 and store materials related to a Project. 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. By adding third-party data, the User declares that they are entitled to process it for this purpose.

7.4. Share extension. The App allows content to be imported via the system share mechanism. The User is responsible for content imported into the App.

7.5. Guide content. The App may provide informational and guide materials. These are general in nature and do not take into account the User's individual situation.

7.6. Push notifications. After system consent is given, the App may send push notifications (e.g. about tasks, stages or content). The User may change notification settings at any time in the device or App settings.

7.7. Data synchronisation. If the User uses iCloud/CloudKit-based synchronisation, data may be synchronised between their devices signed in to the same Apple account. Where a Project is shared (section 12), data may also be synchronised between the accounts of the participants of a Shared Project through the shared CloudKit database. The rules for storing local and synchronised data are described in the Privacy Policy.

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.

• unlawful content, including content infringing intellectual property rights or personal rights,
• content infringing the privacy of others without an appropriate legal basis,
• content that is offensive, discriminatory, or incites hatred or violence,
• content containing malware or content that threatens security,
• misleading content or content that otherwise infringes 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 User should make their own backups, and export or keep their own copies, of User Content and important documents that are particularly important to them, taking into account the rules for storing and synchronising data described in the Privacy Policy. The Provider does not guarantee the recovery of data after it has been deleted by the User or after a Project Owner deletes a Shared Project or revokes access.

10Partner Content, sponsored materials and recommendations

10.1. The App may present Partner Content, including sponsored materials, partner sections and recommendations (including contractor recommendations and recommendations of a financial nature).

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.

11Referral programme

11.1. The App may offer a Referral programme that allows the User to refer the App to other people.

11.2. The detailed rules of the Referral programme, including any benefits and the conditions for obtaining them, are set out within the App at the time a given edition of the Referral programme is made available. The Provider may at any time introduce, change, suspend or end the Referral programme, while respecting the acquired rights of Users.

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 another user through Apple's CloudKit sharing mechanisms.

12.2. Sharing is voluntary and is initiated by the Project Owner. Access is granted only after the invited user accepts the invitation through the mechanisms provided by Apple.

12.3. The Project Owner is responsible for selecting the Project to be shared and for ensuring that they are entitled to disclose all content and personal data contained in that Project.

12.4. A Collaborator may view and, where the App permits, edit the Shared Project. The current version of the App may provide the Collaborator with broad read-and-write access and may not support separate permissions for individual modules or individual records.

12.5. Changes made by a Collaborator may be synchronised with the Project Owner and other authorised participants. When the same record is edited on more than one device, the App may resolve the conflict automatically. This may result in a later synchronised version replacing an earlier version.

12.6. Personal and device-specific data, including financial profiles, financing and insurance enquiries, lead submissions, notification settings and personal iOS Calendar identifiers, is not shared as part of the Project.

12.7. Certain binary files, photos or locally stored resources may not be available on every participant's device. The App does not guarantee that every locally stored file will be transferred as part of Project sharing.

12.8. The Project Owner may stop sharing, revoke a Collaborator's access or delete the Shared Project. These actions may cause the Collaborator to lose access to some or all Project data.

12.9. A Collaborator may leave the Shared Project or remove their local copy. Leaving a Shared Project does not transfer ownership of the Project.

12.10. The App does not currently guarantee ownership transfer, a permanent audit history, real-time synchronisation or recovery of data after the Project Owner deletes the Shared Project or revokes 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, Apple's service availability and the version of iOS 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.

• 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. To the extent that authentication takes place using Sign in with Apple and an Apple ID account, 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 end their use of the App at any time, in particular by:

• deleting the App from the device,
• deleting data in the App settings,
• deleting the Account, if one was created.

18.2. Deleting the App or data results in the deletion of local data in accordance with the rules described in the Privacy Policy. Data stored in iCloud remains under the User's control and may be deleted by them via the Apple account settings.

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 the relevant consumer-protection institutions. Information about the online dispute resolution (ODR) platform is available at the address maintained by the European Commission. 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)

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.
