Legal

Terms of Use

Last Updated: May 28, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a binding legal agreement between you ("you" or "User") and the developer of Watermelon Todo ("we", "us", or "Developer"). They govern your access to and use of the Watermelon Todo application and any related services (collectively, the "App"). By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

These Terms include a binding arbitration agreement and class action waiver that affect your legal rights. Please read them carefully.


1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum digital-consent age in your country, whichever is higher) to use the App. If you are using the App on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent that you are authorized to bind that entity to these Terms.


2. License Grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use, and solely as permitted by the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and the Usage Rules in the Apple App Store Terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.


3. Restrictions

You will not, and will not attempt to, and will not permit any third party to:

  • Copy, modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the App;
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, algorithms, or underlying ideas of the App, except to the extent that such restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law;
  • Rent, lease, sell, sublicense, transfer, or distribute the App to any third party;
  • Remove or alter any proprietary notices or labels;
  • Use the App to violate any law or the rights of any third party;
  • Use the App to build a competing product, or to benchmark its performance for the purpose of publishing results;
  • Interfere with, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the App, its servers, or any third-party service the App relies on;
  • Use any automated means (bots, scrapers, etc.) to access or use the App;
  • Use the App if you are located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or if you are on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

4. Your Content

You retain ownership of the tasks, lists, notes, voice recordings, and other content you create in the App ("Your Content"). You are solely responsible for Your Content and for the consequences of creating, storing, or transmitting it.

You grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free license to process Your Content solely as necessary to operate the App and provide its features to you — for example, to transcribe voice input on your device, to send transcribed text to the AI processor when AI features are enabled, and to display Your Content back to you. This license ends when the relevant data is deleted from the App and from your iCloud.

You represent and warrant that Your Content does not infringe any third party's rights and does not violate any law.


5. AI Features — Important Disclaimer

The App uses artificial intelligence and machine learning, including on-device speech transcription and a third-party AI processor, to interpret your input and to generate tasks, summaries, and suggestions ("AI Output").

AI Output can be incorrect, incomplete, misleading, biased, or unexpected. AI Output is provided for informational and organizational purposes only. You are solely responsible for reviewing AI Output before relying on it. You must not rely on AI Output for medical, legal, financial, tax, safety-critical, employment, or any other decisions that could cause harm. We make no warranty that AI Output will be accurate, complete, current, or fit for any purpose.

You can disable AI features at any time in Settings. By keeping AI features enabled, you consent to the processing of the relevant text by a third-party AI processor as described in our Privacy Policy.


6. Permissions

  • Microphone and Speech Recognition — for voice task capture, transcribed on-device.
  • Notifications — optional, for daily summary delivery.
  • Calendar — optional, for integration with your calendar.
  • iCloud — optional, for sync across your own Apple devices.

You can change any permission at any time in iOS Settings. Denying a permission disables only the affected feature.


7. Subscriptions, Free Trials, and Payments

  • The App is free to download. Some features ("Pro features") require a paid subscription.
  • We may offer a free trial. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription at the then-current price.
  • Auto-renewal. Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
  • Price changes. We may change subscription prices from time to time. Any notification or consent process for price changes is administered by Apple in accordance with App Store policies.
  • Cancellation. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in App Store → your Apple ID → Subscriptions. Deleting the App does not cancel your subscription.
  • Refunds. All payments are handled by Apple. Refunds, if any, are administered solely by Apple under Apple's standard App Store refund policy. Except where required by law, we do not provide refunds.
  • Feature changes. We may add, modify, or remove features from any subscription tier at any time, without obligation to provide equivalent or replacement features.

8. Third-Party Services

The App relies on third-party services, including the Apple App Store, Apple iCloud, an AI processing provider, and an anonymous analytics provider. Your use of those services is also governed by their respective terms and privacy policies. We do not control those services and are not responsible for their availability, performance, content, terms, or acts or omissions. If a third-party service becomes unavailable, changes its terms, or discontinues a feature we rely on, we may modify or discontinue the affected feature in the App without liability to you.


9. Service Availability and Changes

The App is provided on an "as available" basis. We may, at any time and without notice, modify, suspend, limit, or discontinue any feature of the App, in whole or in part, including AI features and Pro features. We have no obligation to maintain any specific feature, level of performance, or compatibility. Your sole remedy for dissatisfaction is to stop using the App and, where applicable, cancel your subscription via Apple.


10. Disclaimer of Warranties

The App, including all AI Output and all third-party services accessed through it, is provided "as is" and "as available," with all faults, and without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Developer and its suppliers disclaim all warranties, express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, title, quiet enjoyment, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, free of harmful components, or that any defect will be corrected, or that AI Output will be accurate or reliable.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties; in those jurisdictions the above exclusions apply to the maximum extent permitted.


11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will the Developer or its suppliers be liable to you or any third party for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, business opportunity, data, use, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to the App, AI Output, any third-party service, or these Terms, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other theory, and whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

If, despite the above, the Developer is found liable for any matter arising out of or relating to the App or these Terms, the Developer's total cumulative liability for all claims combined will not exceed the greater of (a) the total fees you actually paid to use the App in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) the minimum amount required by applicable mandatory law.

The exclusions and limitations in Sections 10 and 11 apply regardless of whether any limited remedy fails of its essential purpose, and form an essential basis of the bargain between you and us. They do not limit any rights you have under applicable law that cannot be waived.


12. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Developer and its officers, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) Your Content; (b) your use or misuse of the App or AI Output; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation of any law or any third-party right; or (e) your interaction with any third-party service through the App. We may, at our option, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you will cooperate with our defense.


13. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

This section affects your legal rights. Please read carefully. It applies to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

13.1 Informal resolution. Before filing any formal proceeding, you agree to first contact us at [email protected] and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 60 days.

13.2 Arbitration agreement. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App that is not resolved informally will be resolved exclusively by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, except as modified by this section. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any part of it is void or voidable.

13.3 Class action waiver. You and the Developer agree that any dispute will be brought in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If this class action waiver is found unenforceable, then the entirety of Section 13 is null and void, but the rest of these Terms remain in effect.

13.4 Venue and small claims carve-out. Arbitration will take place in the U.S. county where you reside (or by telephone or written submission at your option). Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court for disputes within that court's jurisdiction.

13.5 30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice of your decision to [email protected] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, including your name and a clear statement that you wish to opt out. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms.

13.6 Equitable relief. Either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights, pending completion of arbitration.


14. Apple App Store Terms

The following terms apply because the App is distributed through the Apple App Store. They are required by Apple and supplement, but do not replace, the other provisions of these Terms.

  • Acknowledgment. These Terms are between you and the Developer only, not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
  • Scope of license. The license granted to you is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on any Apple-branded products you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms.
  • Maintenance and support. The Developer, not Apple, is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support for the App. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support.
  • Warranty. The Developer, not Apple, is responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App.
  • Product claims. The Developer, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the App or your use of it, including product liability, claims that the App fails to conform to applicable legal or regulatory requirements, and claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
  • Intellectual property. In the event of a third-party claim that the App or your use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, the Developer, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such claim.
  • Legal compliance. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  • Third-party beneficiary. You acknowledge and agree that Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that, upon your acceptance of 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.

15. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it; cancelling any subscription requires action through Apple. We may suspend or terminate your access to the App or any feature at any time, with or without notice, including if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms. Sections 4, 5, 8 through 13, 15, and 17 survive any termination.


16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated Terms will be posted at this URL with a new "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the App after the updated Terms take effect constitutes your acceptance. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, your sole remedy is to stop using the App.


17. General

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Developer regarding the App and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision will not be a waiver of that right or provision.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms freely, including to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Force majeure. We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, internet or telecommunications failures, third-party service outages, or governmental action.

No agency. Nothing in these Terms creates any agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship between you and the Developer.

Notices. We may give notices to you by in-app message, by email if you have provided one, or by posting on this site. You may give notices to us at [email protected].

Language. The English version of these Terms is the controlling version. Any translation is provided for convenience only.
