HomeCubbieTerms
Terms of Use
The short version. HomeCubbie is an app you install and use on your own devices. There is no account and no service of ours behind it. If your household shares, it does so through a server it runs itself. The app is provided as it is, your data is yours, and keeping a copy safe is your responsibility, because we don't have one.
Using the app
You may install and use HomeCubbie on the devices you own or control, for personal or business purposes, for as long as you like. You may not resell it, redistribute modified copies of it, or attempt to pass it off as your own work.
The app is licensed, not sold. That licence is non-exclusive and non-transferable, and it does not give you rights over the HomeCubbie name, mark, or design.
Your data belongs to you
Everything you enter stays on your devices and, if your household shares, on its own server. No ownership of it is claimed, no licence over it is required, and none is asked for. You can export all of it at any time as a backup file, and delete it by deleting the app and, if you share, the server's data.
The household server is yours
A household that shares runs the HomeCubbie server on a computer it controls. HomeCubbie does not operate, host, monitor or have access to that server, and cannot recover anything from it. Keeping that computer secure, switched on and on your home network — and not exposing it to the internet — is up to your household. The server software is provided on the same terms as the app.
Backups are your responsibility
This follows directly from the design and is the most important thing on this page. There is no server of ours and no cloud copy. HomeCubbie makes a weekly backup, but keeps it on the phone unless, on Android, you pick a folder for it, and automatic operating-system backups are deliberately switched off. So if you lose your only device and have saved no backup elsewhere, the data is gone and cannot be recovered by anyone, including the developer. Please save a copy off the phone.
The app is provided as it is
HomeCubbie is offered without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. No promise is made that it will be free of defects, that it will suit your particular situation, or that any given feature will keep working in future versions.
It is a record-keeping tool and nothing more. It is not legal, financial, insurance, tax, or safety advice, and the reminders it shows are a convenience, not a guarantee that anything was actually done. Deadlines that matter — an insurance renewal, a safety inspection — remain yours to confirm.
Limits on liability
To the extent the law allows, the developer is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from your use of the app, including lost data, missed deadlines, or expenses that follow from them. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, in which case those limitations do not apply to you and you may have additional rights. Nothing here limits liability for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
The app store's terms apply too
HomeCubbie is distributed through Apple's App Store and Google Play. Their terms govern the download and any purchase, and where those terms conflict with these, theirs prevail for that transaction. Refunds are handled by the store you bought from, not by the developer.
Changes
The app will change as it is developed, and these terms may change with it. When they do, the date at the top of this page changes. Continuing to use the app after a change means the revised terms apply. Because no account exists, there is no way to notify you individually — this page is the notice.
