SproutTrace Terms of Use
1. Who these Terms are with
These Terms are between you and Guangzhou Liangyi Software Co., Ltd. (“Company,” “we,” or “us”) for SproutTrace (the “App”). Apple is not a party to these supplemental service terms.
Unless a custom end-user license agreement is expressly presented through the App Store, your license to the App is governed by Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (“Apple Standard EULA”). These Terms supplement, and do not replace, the Apple Standard EULA or the Apple Media Services Terms that apply to your download and purchases.
2. Eligibility and adult responsibility
You must have legal capacity to agree to these Terms. The App is intended for parents, guardians, and other authorized adults, not for a child’s independent use. Before entering a child’s information, you represent that you are the parent or legal guardian or otherwise have lawful authority.
You are responsible for the legality and accuracy of what you enter, for protecting the device, and for preventing unsupervised purchases, exports, or deletion by a child.
3. The service
The App lets a family create child profiles, record height and weight, view trends and reference information, set local reminders, export records, and optionally synchronize records through the private CloudKit database associated with the same Apple Account.
iCloud sync is on by default and may be turned off in App settings; the change applies after the App is reopened. Turning sync off does not delete existing local or CloudKit data. Sync requires compatible devices, an Apple Account, iCloud, network access, and available Apple services. Do not use sync as your only backup.
4. Acceptable use
You may not:
- break applicable law or infringe a child’s or another person’s rights;
- enter, export, or disclose another person’s information without lawful authority;
- attack or disrupt the App, or bypass payment, permission, or security controls;
- copy, reverse engineer, rent, sell, or sublicense the App except where applicable law expressly permits; or
- use the App for unlawful, fraudulent, or infringing activity.
5. Privacy and your records
Profiles and records are stored on your device and, while iCloud sync is enabled, in your private Apple CloudKit database. You can correct, delete, and export records in the App. Once a CSV is sent to another app or recipient, it is no longer protected by the App’s private storage.
The Privacy Policy explains data practices and children’s privacy. It forms part of these Terms, but privacy consent will be obtained separately where required by law.
6. Purchases and subscriptions
The App may offer a one-time purchase, monthly subscription, or annual subscription. The product, price, billing period, trial terms, and benefits shown on the purchase screen and Apple confirmation sheet at the time you buy control.
- One-time purchase: unlocks the benefits described on the purchase screen and does not auto-renew.
- Auto-renewable subscription: renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Apple generally charges the Apple Account within 24 hours before renewal.
- Cancellation: manage or cancel in Apple Account subscription settings. Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription.
- Restore and refunds: use Restore Purchases in the App. Apple processes billing and refund requests under Apple’s rules, subject to rights that cannot be waived under applicable law.
7. Not medical advice
The App is a family recordkeeping tool. It does not provide medical diagnosis, treatment, nutrition, or health advice. Charts and reference data are general information and cannot replace a qualified clinician’s judgment. Contact a qualified healthcare professional about development or health concerns and local emergency services for an emergency.
8. Backups, changes, and availability
You are responsible for protecting your device and Apple Account and exporting important records when needed. Hardware failure, account or network problems, iCloud outages, App deletion, or user error may make data unavailable or cause permanent loss.
We may update, suspend, or discontinue features for operational, security, or legal reasons. We will give notice where required. We cannot remotely recover records that exist only in your device storage or private CloudKit database.
9. Intellectual property
The App’s software, interface, text, graphics, branding, and other content belong to the Company or their respective licensors. You retain any rights you have in information you lawfully enter. These Terms do not give us additional rights to use your records beyond providing the requested functions and complying with law.
10. Warranties and liability
The Company will provide the App with reasonable care and will not exclude any warranty, remedy, or consumer right that applicable law does not permit us to exclude. To the extent permitted by law, the App is provided “as is” and “as available,” and we are not responsible for loss caused solely by your misuse, failure to back up, unavailable third-party services, or events outside our reasonable control.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, personal injury where limitation is prohibited, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
11. Suspension and termination
We may restrict a feature or terminate permission to use the App when reasonably necessary because of a material breach or legal requirement. You may stop using and delete the App at any time. You must separately cancel any auto-renewable subscription through Apple.
12. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms for feature, operational, security, or legal changes. Material changes will receive prominent notice, and additional agreement will be requested where required. Changes do not improperly reduce consumer rights already acquired.
13. Governing law and disputes
To the extent permitted by the mandatory law where you live, these Terms are governed by the laws of mainland China, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. This choice does not deprive you of non-waivable consumer protections or access to courts and agencies that applicable law makes available. The Apple Standard EULA separately governs the App license and specifies its own governing-law rules.
