Terms of Service

You can find the app-specific privacy policy here: App Privacy Policy.

1. Scope and Acceptance

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Exaroo iOS app (“App”) and the associated backend services operated by Kleinbild Verlag GmbH (“we”, “us”, “our”).

By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

The use of the licensed iOS application distributed through the Apple App Store is subject to Apple’s Standard End User License Agreement (EULA), which is hereby incorporated by reference: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

These Terms supplement the Apple Standard EULA and apply only to the extent they do not conflict with it. In the event of any conflict, the Apple Standard EULA shall prevail.

You must be at least 18 years old to use the App.

2. Description of the Service

Exaroo uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to extract calendar events from unstructured sources such as photos, PDFs, or text. Extracted events can be reviewed, edited, and saved to your iOS calendar.

The App offers two usage modes:

• Built-in AI Mode (Default): Your documents are transmitted via an encrypted connection to our server in Germany, processed in memory, and forwarded to the Google Gemini AI for analysis. Documents are never stored permanently.
• Advanced Mode / Bring Your Own Key (BYOK): You provide your own API key for a supported AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google). The App communicates directly with the provider from your device. Our servers are not involved.

3. Subscription Terms

3.1 Free Plan

The Free Plan provides limited access to the App’s features and is subject to usage quotas. We reserve the right to adjust these quotas at any time.

3.2 Pro Plan

The Pro Plan is available as an auto-renewable subscription through Apple’s App Store. Included benefits are subject to fair use. In case of unusually high or abusive use, we may apply protective measures such as temporary throttling to ensure stability and availability of the service for all users.

• Billing: All payments are processed by Apple. The subscription price is displayed in the App Store before purchase.
• Payment on purchase: Your Apple ID account is charged upon confirmation of purchase.
• Auto-Renewal: Your subscription automatically renews at the end of each billing period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date.
• Renewal billing: Your Apple ID account will be charged for the renewal amount within 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Cancellation: You can cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple ID account settings (Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
• Management: You can manage your subscription and auto-renewal settings at any time in your Apple ID account settings.
• Price Changes: If we change subscription prices, Apple will notify you in advance. Continued use after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new price.
• Refunds: Refund requests are handled by Apple in accordance with their refund policies.

3.3 Advanced Plan (BYOK)

The Advanced Plan unlocks the ability to use your own API keys. Any costs incurred with third-party AI providers are your sole responsibility.

4. AI Disclaimer — No Guarantee of Accuracy

This is important: The AI-generated results provided by the App are suggestions, not guaranteed accurate data.

• AI models may misinterpret document content, miss events, or produce incorrect dates, times, or locations.
• You are responsible for reviewing all extracted events before saving them to your calendar.
• We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any AI-generated output.
• The AI models and providers used by the App may change over time to improve the service.
• We accept no liability for consequences arising from incorrect or incomplete event extraction (e.g., missed appointments, wrong locations, scheduling conflicts).

5. BYOK Mode — User Responsibility

When using Advanced Mode with your own API key:

• You are solely responsible for your API key, including its security, usage, and any costs incurred with the third-party provider.
• The terms of service and privacy policy of your chosen AI provider apply to the processing of your documents.
• We have no access to your API key (it is stored exclusively in the iOS Keychain on your device) and accept no liability for the third-party provider’s handling of your data.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Upload illegal, harmful, or rights-infringing content.
• Attempt to circumvent usage quotas, rate limits, or other technical restrictions.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App or its backend services.
• Use the App for automated mass processing or commercial data extraction beyond normal personal use.
• Interfere with or disrupt the App’s servers, networks, or security features.
• Use the App in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations.

7. Intellectual Property

• The App, its design, code, and the Exaroo brand are the property of Kleinbild Verlag GmbH and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
• We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes in accordance with these Terms.
• You retain all rights to the documents you upload and the calendar events you create.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

• We provide the App “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.
• We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with future iOS versions.
• We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of data, missed appointments, lost profits, or scheduling errors.
• Our total aggregate liability for any claims arising from or related to the App shall not exceed the amount you have paid for the App in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.
• These limitations do not apply to liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law (e.g., gross negligence or willful misconduct under Swiss law).

9. Availability and Force Majeure

• We strive to keep the App and its backend services available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability.
• Scheduled maintenance, server outages, or third-party service disruptions (including Google Gemini or Apple services) may temporarily affect the App’s functionality.
• We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, government actions, network failures, or other force majeure events.

10. Termination and Suspension

• You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it from your device and cancelling any active subscription through your Apple ID account settings. Subscription management and cancellation are handled through Apple.
• We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or engage in abusive behavior.
• If you cancel a Pro subscription, access to Pro features ends when the paid period expires. You may continue to use the App under the Free Plan; BYOK mode remains available. Data stored locally on your device (calendar events, settings) remains unaffected.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the App or on our website. Continued use of the App after changes have been published constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Switzerland, excluding conflict-of-law provisions.

The exclusive place of jurisdiction is Lucerne, Switzerland, unless mandatory consumer protection laws in your country of residence provide for a different jurisdiction.

13. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that most closely reflects its intended purpose.
