Terms of Use.
These terms cover the website at tbcstud.io and the apps published by TBC Studio — Gliding, Daylight, Fog, Lockin and Caliskill. By using any of them you agree to what follows. If you do not agree, please do not use them.
WHO WE ARE
TBC Studio is a one-person independent software studio. The best way to reach us is by email — see Contact below.
Trading name and email only, deliberately, until launch. See the fuller note in the privacy policy for what changes once an app is on sale — and use the same details in both documents when it does.USING OUR APPS
You may use our apps for your own personal or business purposes. We ask that you do not:
- copy, resell, sublicense or redistribute an app or its content;
- reverse-engineer, decompile or extract source from an app, except where the law expressly allows it;
- use an app to break the law, to harass anyone, or to infringe someone else's rights;
- attempt to disrupt, overload or gain unauthorised access to our services;
- use automated means to scrape or bulk-download content.
YOUR CONTENT
Anything you create in our apps — tasks, notes, boards, progress — is yours. We claim no ownership of it. In most cases it never leaves your device, and we have no ability to access it.
Because that data usually lives only on your device, keeping a backup is your responsibility. Clearing your browser storage, losing your device or uninstalling an app will delete it, and we cannot recover it for you.
OUR CONTENT
The apps, this website, and their design, code, text and artwork are owned by TBC Studio and protected by copyright. Nothing in these terms transfers that ownership to you. Third-party fonts, libraries and data used in our apps remain the property of their respective owners and are used under their own licences.
PURCHASES AND REFUNDS
Paid unlocks are one-time purchases — there is no subscription and no recurring charge. How a refund works depends on where you bought.
Bought inside an app from Apple or Google. The store, not TBC Studio, is the seller of record, and its terms govern the transaction. Refund requests must go to that store under its own refund policy. We cannot reverse a store transaction.
Bought on the web through Stripe. Here we are the seller, and Stripe is our payment processor. Contact us and we will deal with it directly.
Digital content and your cancellation right. If you are a consumer buying from us on the web, you would normally have 14 days to cancel a distance purchase. Because an unlock is digital content delivered immediately, you are asked at checkout to consent to immediate delivery and to acknowledge that you lose that cancellation right once delivery begins. Where you have given that consent and the unlock has been delivered, the 14-day right no longer applies.
This paragraph is only true if Stripe Checkout actually presents that consent and acknowledgement. Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 it must be an express, recorded step — a custom consent checkbox or explicit terms acceptance in the Checkout Session, not a link in a footer. If it is not configured, a buyer keeps the full 14-day cancellation right and can demand a refund even after downloading, which is exactly the exposure you asked to close. Wire it up before switching to a live Stripe key, or delete this paragraph.Nothing in these terms affects your non-excludable statutory rights as a consumer, including your right to a remedy if digital content is faulty or not as described.
LEADERBOARDS
Lockin and Fog each have an optional daily leaderboard. When you submit a score you also submit a display name of up to 24 characters, and both are shown publicly to everyone playing that day.
You choose that name, and you are responsible for it. Do not submit anything offensive, anything that impersonates another person, and nothing you would not want shown publicly. We are not obliged to moderate submissions, but we may remove any entry at our discretion and may block submissions from a device that repeatedly abuses the feature. Boards expire automatically after 48 hours in any case.
Scores are submitted by your device and are not independently verified. We give no guarantee that a board is accurate, complete or free of manipulated entries, and rankings confer no prize, benefit or entitlement of any kind.
AVAILABILITY — NO GUARANTEE
These are apps made by one person in their own time. We may change, suspend, withdraw or discontinue any app, feature or service at any time, for any reason, without notice and without liability to you. We give no guarantee that any app will be available, uninterrupted, secure or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that any app will continue to be published.
Where an app is withdrawn we will give notice if it is practical to do so, but we are not obliged to, and withdrawal does not entitle you to a refund from us.
PROVIDED "AS IS"
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our apps and this website are provided as is and as available, and we exclude all warranties, conditions and terms implied by statute or common law — including any implied terms as to satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy or non-infringement.
We make no representation that the content in our apps is accurate or complete. You rely on it at your own risk.
NOT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE
Our apps are tools, not advice, and must not be relied on as a substitute for professional judgement.
In particular, Caliskill provides general fitness information and is not medical advice. Exercise carries an inherent risk of serious injury. You take part entirely at your own risk, you are solely responsible for training within your own physical limits and for using safe technique and equipment, and you should consult a doctor or qualified coach before starting or changing a training programme. We are not responsible for any injury arising from your use of the app.
LIABILITY
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable to you for:
- loss of profit, revenue, business, opportunity, goodwill or anticipated savings;
- loss or corruption of data, including anything stored on your own device;
- any indirect, special or consequential loss;
- any loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, an app or this website, or from your reliance on anything in them.
Where we are liable to you despite the above, and to the extent that liability can lawfully be limited, our total liability for all claims is limited to the amount you actually paid us, or paid an app store for the app in question, in the twelve months before the claim arose. Where you paid nothing, our liability is nil.
We do not exclude or limit liability where the law does not allow it — including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, and for your non-excludable statutory rights as a consumer. If you are a consumer, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 gives you rights in respect of digital content that is not of satisfactory quality, and nothing here affects them.
This now sits at the legal floor rather than above it: no monetary minimum, and nil where nothing was paid. It is as protective as UK law permits for a consumer-facing app. Be aware that the Consumer Rights Act 2015 s.31 makes some consumer rights non-excludable no matter what these terms say — a cap cannot make you bulletproof, and any document claiming otherwise is unenforceable, not stronger.INDEMNITY
If your use of an app in breach of these terms causes a third party to bring a claim against us, you agree to cover the reasonable losses and costs we incur as a result. This does not apply to consumers acting outside the course of a business.
ENDING THESE TERMS
You can stop using our apps at any time by deleting them. We may end your access if you materially breach these terms.
CHANGES
We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows the current version, and continuing to use our apps after a change means you accept the updated terms.
GOVERNING LAW
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the UK, you may also bring proceedings in your own jurisdiction.
Set this to the jurisdiction you actually trade from. England and Wales is assumed here and may be wrong.CONTACT
