Terms
Short and without legalese: what you get, what stays yours, and what we do not promise.
What these terms are
Gathery is an app for lists you walk through and cross off. It is run by Andrew Vynarchyk, a private individual in Ukraine; contact: vynarchykvynarchyk@gmail.com.
By using the app you agree to what is written below. If something here does not suit you, do not use it — that is the only consequence.
Your account
You can sign in with Apple or Google. Each sign-in method creates its own account: sign in with Google once and with Apple next time, and the server sees two different people. To use both, link the second one to your existing account in your profile.
The account is personal. You are responsible for what happens under your sign-in, and for access to the phone it sits on.
You may use the app from the age of 13, or from the higher age your country sets for giving consent on your own.
What is yours stays yours
Lists, items, notes, your picture — yours. We do not read them, do not show them to outsiders and do not use them for anything of our own.
To make the app work we store your content on the server and show it to the people you opened it to yourself. We take no other rights over it.
You can take yours back at any time: every list exports as plain text through "Export".
Shared lists
Putting a list in a group shows it to everyone in that group. They can fill it in, tick items off and write short messages.
Only the person who created a list can delete it. Leave a group and your own lists come with you; if a group is deleted, other people's lists return to their owners.
What other members write is their own responsibility. We do not read shared lists and do not moderate them.
What you must not do
Use the app for anything unlawful; upload other people's material you have no right to; deliberately break the server or work around access limits; send people things they did not ask for.
If an account does that, we may close it — and we will say what for.
Free, for now
The app is free today. If a paid part ever appears, what you have now will not become paid retroactively: we will say in advance what exactly changes.
What we do not promise
We do our best so your lists are never lost, but the app is provided "as is". We do not promise that the server will never go down, that a notification arrives the same second, or that no tick is ever lost on the way.
Your data sits both on the phone and on the server, so one failure does not take everything. That still does not replace your own copy of what matters most to you — "Export" is there for that.
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect losses — lost profit, time or data — arising from use of the app.
When this ends
You can leave at any time: "Delete account" in your profile wipes everything we hold about you.
We may close an account that breaks these terms, or discontinue the app altogether — in which case we will say so in advance and give you time to take your data.
Changes to these terms
The terms may change along with the app; the date at the top says when. Anything noticeable we will say in the app.
These terms are governed by the law of Ukraine, and disputes, if any, are resolved under its rules. This does not take away rights given to you by the law of the country you live in.
