Terms of Service

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and DrinkTick ("DrinkTick", "we", "us"), the independent developer of the DrinkTick Android application (the "App"), published on Google Play as com.jaironlanda.drinktick.

By downloading, installing or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the App. Your use of the App is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service, and how we handle information is described in our Privacy Policy.

If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may only use the App with the involvement of a parent or guardian who agrees to these Terms.

2. Your licence to use DrinkTick

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the App on devices you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial use.

You agree not to:

• copy, modify, translate or create derivative works of the App;
• reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the App, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits it despite this restriction;
• rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense or redistribute the App;
• remove or obscure any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notice in the App; or
• circumvent, disable or interfere with the licensing checks that determine whether you have DrinkTick Pro.

3. Not medical advice

Goals, statistics, streaks, reminders and any caffeine or alcohol figures shown by the App are informational estimates based on what you enter and on generic reference values. They are not tailored to your body, your health conditions, your medication or your circumstances, and they may be inaccurate.

Hydration needs vary from person to person, and both drinking too little and drinking too much water can be harmful. Certain conditions — including kidney, heart and liver conditions — make fluid intake a genuinely medical matter.

• Always seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional about your own fluid intake, and about any medical question.
• Never disregard professional medical advice, or delay seeking it, because of something the App showed you.
• Do not rely on the App's reminders or figures in any situation where an error could affect your health.
• If you think you have a medical emergency, contact your local emergency services.

The App's caffeine and alcohol figures are rough estimates scaled from the amount you log. They must never be used to judge fitness to drive, to work, or to do anything else where impairment matters.

4. DrinkTick Pro

The App's core hydration tracking is free. "DrinkTick Pro" is an optional paid upgrade that unlocks additional features, currently including tracking of non-water drinks with caffeine and alcohol, a customisable Quick Add list, the consistency heatmap, custom date ranges, additional daily reminders, and backup & restore.

We may add to, change or remove Pro features over time as the App develops. We will not deliberately reduce the Pro feature set in a way that makes what you paid for substantially worthless; if a feature must be removed for technical or legal reasons, we'll aim to replace it or explain why we can't.

Pro is unlocked on your device by asking Google Play whether the Google account on that device currently owns it. It is tied to your Google account, not to a DrinkTick account — there is no such thing. If Google Play is unavailable, or you are offline for a long period, the App may be unable to confirm your entitlement and Pro features may be temporarily unavailable until it can check again.

5. Billing, renewal and cancellation

All payments are processed by Google Play, not by us. We never see, receive or store your payment details. Purchasing is subject to the Google Play Terms of Service and Google's payment terms.

Plans

DrinkTick Pro is offered as:

• Monthly — an auto-renewing subscription, billed every month;
• Annual — an auto-renewing subscription, billed every year;
• Lifetime — a one-time purchase, not a subscription, which does not renew and is not billed again.

Prices

Prices are set in the Google Play Console and shown to you in your local currency, including any applicable taxes where Google displays them, before you confirm a purchase. The price shown in the App or on our website at the moment of purchase is the price that applies. Any prices quoted elsewhere on this website are indicative and may differ by region. We may change prices for future purchases and renewals; Google will notify you of a price change affecting an existing subscription, and you can cancel rather than accept it.

Automatic renewal

Monthly and annual subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period, and your Google Play payment method is charged, until you cancel. Renewal is handled by Google Play. Cancelling is the only way to stop a renewal — uninstalling the App does not cancel a subscription.

How to cancel

You can cancel at any time, and it takes effect at the end of the current paid period:

• In the App: Profile → Subscription → Manage subscription; or
• In the Google Play Store app: Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → DrinkTick; or
• At play.google.com/store/account/subscriptions.

After cancelling, Pro stays active until the period you already paid for ends. It is not prorated, and no partial refund is given for the remainder of that period, except where required by law.

Restoring purchases

If you reinstall the App or set up a new device, use Restore purchases in Profile → Subscription. This re-checks with Google Play what your Google account owns. Note that a purchase belongs to the Google account that made it — buying Pro on one account does not unlock it on another.

6. Refunds

Because Google Play is the seller of record, refunds are handled under Google Play's refund policy, and requests go to Google, not to us. Google's own policies determine what qualifies — including any short window during which a purchase can be refunded automatically.

Nothing here limits any statutory right of withdrawal, cancellation or refund you may have under consumer law where you live — for example the EU/UK right to withdraw from a digital purchase within 14 days, subject to its conditions. Those rights apply regardless of this section.

If something has gone wrong with a purchase — you paid and Pro didn't unlock, or you were charged twice — please email us first. We can't issue refunds ourselves, but we'll help you sort it out and, where appropriate, support your request to Google.

7. Your data is your responsibility

DrinkTick stores everything locally on your device and has no server, no account and no cloud sync. That is a deliberate privacy decision, and it has one important consequence you should understand:

Keeping a backup is therefore up to you. DrinkTick Pro includes Backup & Restore for exactly this reason. Importing a backup permanently replaces the data on your device, and that cannot be undone.

You are responsible for the security of any backup file you export and for anywhere you choose to store or send it.

8. Acceptable use

DrinkTick has no accounts, no servers and no shared content, so there isn't much to misuse. Still, you agree not to use the App unlawfully, and not to attempt to defeat its Pro entitlement checks or distribute modified versions of it.

9. Intellectual property

The App — including its source code, design, user interface, graphics, icons, text and the DrinkTick name and logo — is owned by us and protected by copyright and other laws. These Terms grant you a licence to use the App; they do not transfer any ownership to you. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

The data you enter is yours. We claim no ownership of, and no rights over, your drinks, goals or history.

Google Play and the Google Play logo are trademarks of Google LLC. Android is a trademark of Google LLC. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Google.

10. Changes and availability

We may update, change or discontinue the App or any of its features at any time. We may also stop distributing or supporting the App entirely. The App is provided as software you run on your own device — if we stopped tomorrow, the copy installed on your phone would keep working with your data intact, though it would no longer receive updates and store purchases would stop working.

We don't promise the App will be compatible with every device, Android version or future operating system release.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory — including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of defects; that its calculations, statistics or estimates are accurate; or that reminders will always be delivered. Reminders depend on your device's operating system and its battery-optimisation and notification settings — Android can delay or suppress them, and you should not rely on a reminder arriving.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you. In that case, such warranties are limited to the minimum extent permitted by law.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, DrinkTick will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, loss of profits, loss of goodwill, or business interruption, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the App — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the App is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you actually paid us for DrinkTick Pro in the twelve months before the claim arose, or (b) USD 20.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you, and nothing here affects your mandatory statutory consumer rights.

13. Termination

You may end this agreement at any time by uninstalling the App. We may suspend or terminate your licence if you materially breach these Terms.

On termination, your licence ends and you must stop using the App. Terminating does not entitle you to a refund, does not cancel a Google Play subscription (cancel that separately), and does not delete data from your device — only you can do that. Sections that by their nature should survive — including Not medical advice, Intellectual property, Disclaimer of warranties and Limitation of liability — survive termination.

14. General

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.

If you are a consumer, nothing in these Terms deprives you of the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of the country where you habitually reside.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms as the App changes. When we do, we'll update the "last updated" date at the top. Material changes will be signalled in the App or its release notes. Continuing to use the App after a change means you accept the updated Terms; if you don't accept them, stop using the App and, if you have a subscription, cancel it through Google Play.
