Terms of Use for the snusQuit App

1. Provider and scope

The app is provided by Alexander Bosacki, c/o IP-Management #11224, Ludwig-Erhard-Str. 18, 20459 Hamburg, Germany ("we"), reachable at info@snusquit.com. Full details in the legal notice.

These terms apply to use of the app by consumers. Differing terms proposed by the user do not become part of the contract.

2. Age and legal capacity

The app is aimed at people who already use nicotine pouches and want to stop. Anyone who wants to quit should be able to, so we set no minimum age for using the app.

For purchasing the paid features, the law applies: if a minor makes a purchase without the consent of their legal guardians, that purchase is provisionally invalid under § 108 of the German Civil Code. In that case contact info@snusquit.com and the store that handled the payment (Google Play or the App Store).

3. What the app is — and what it is not

snusQuit is a self-help and tracking app for reducing and ending snus and nicotine use. It records what you enter yourself and presents a history, statistics and a plan derived from it.

The app is not a medical device and provides no medical diagnosis, advice or treatment. It is not a substitute for medical or therapeutic care. Nicotine withdrawal can cause physical and psychological symptoms. If you experience health problems, consult a doctor or an addiction support service. All figures in the app (money saved, nicotine avoided, projections) are calculated estimates based on your own input, not measurements.

4. Free use, trial and paid features

The app can be used free of charge at first. The free phase ends once both conditions are met: 8 calendar days have passed and you have been active on at least 5 days.

After that your run is paused: data already recorded stays readable, but no further day is added. Days on which the app is not unlocked in this state are not counted as zero values; they are not recorded at all — so the calendar and insights remain open, but they stop growing.

A purchase unlocks the whole app and resumes your run from that point. The breathing exercise stays usable permanently and without any purchase.

Two purchase options are offered:

The applicable prices are shown to you in the app in your local currency before purchase. The price shown in the respective store's purchase dialog governs (Google Play on Android, the App Store on iOS).

5. Lifetime access: scope and limits

5.1 What "lifetime" means. Lifetime access refers to the lifetime of the snusQuit product, not the lifetime of the purchaser. What you acquire is an unlimited-term, non-transferable right to use the paid features of the app for as long as, and to the extent that, we offer it. It does not constitute a commitment to operate the app permanently or for any particular period.

5.2 No guarantee of specific features. Lifetime access covers the paid features present at the time of purchase and their further development. We reserve the right to change, replace or discontinue individual features where this is reasonable for you and the essential purpose of the app — recording and analysing your own consumption — is preserved. Future standalone add-on products need not be included in lifetime access.

5.3 Minimum operating period. We undertake to offer the app in working condition for at least 24 months from the date of your lifetime purchase, and during that period to provide the updates required to run it on current Android and iOS versions. This commitment applies irrespective of § 5.4.

5.4 Discontinuation of the product. Should we permanently cease operating the app, the following applies:

5.5 Force majeure and circumstances beyond our control. If operating the app becomes impossible or unreasonable for us due to circumstances we are not responsible for — in particular changes to Google's or Apple's policies or technical requirements, removal of the app from the Google Play Store or the App Store for reasons not attributable to us, changes in law, official orders, or serious illness — our obligation to perform lapses accordingly. Your statutory rights remain unaffected; the refund rule in § 5.4 applies in this case as well.

5.6 No resale. Lifetime access is tied to the account it was bought with (your Google or Apple account) and is neither transferable nor saleable. Access bought on one platform does not automatically apply on the other, because the two stores keep separate purchase records that we have no control over.

6. Payment, restoring and cancellation

All purchases are handled exclusively through the store you got the app from: Google Play on Android, the App Store on iOS. We offer no payment processing of our own and receive no payment data. The respective vendor's terms additionally apply to the payment process.

Restoring: because the app works without user accounts, your Google or Apple account is the only record of a purchase. On a new device you restore your purchase via "Restore purchase" on the payment screen. Your progress is restored separately, through your operating system's device backup.

Cancelling a subscription happens in your store account, not with us:

Lifetime access does not need to be cancelled, as no recurring payment arises.

7. Right of withdrawal

As a consumer you have a statutory right of withdrawal of 14 days from conclusion of the contract.

Early expiry: for digital content, the right of withdrawal expires once we have begun performing the contract after you have expressly consented to us beginning before the withdrawal period ends and have acknowledged that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal (§ 356 (5) of the German Civil Code). As access is unlocked immediately after purchase, this is the normal case.

In practice: refunds are handled by the respective store, not by us.

After that, contact info@snusquit.com — we handle requests made within the statutory withdrawal period generously, even where the right of withdrawal has already expired under the preceding paragraph.

8. Your data and your device

The app stores your entries exclusively on your device. We receive no usage data. Details are set out in the privacy policy.

Loss of your data: if you uninstall the app, clear its data, or lose your device without a device backup (Android Auto Backup or iCloud), your progress data is irretrievably lost. We cannot restore it, because we never held it. No repurchase is necessary in that case — the purchase is tied to your Google or Apple account, not to the data.

9. Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for damage arising from injury to life, body or health, and under the German Product Liability Act.

In cases of simple negligence we are liable only for breach of a material contractual obligation — that is, an obligation whose fulfilment makes proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance you may regularly rely. In such cases liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract.

Any further liability is excluded. In particular we are not liable for decisions you make on the basis of the figures shown in the app, nor for health consequences of a change in consumption.

10. Changes to these terms

We may amend these terms where this is necessary due to changes in law, case law, Google's requirements or the further development of the app, and where doing so does not unreasonably disadvantage you. We will give notice of material changes in the app or on this page. For a lifetime purchase already made, the terms in force at the time of purchase continue to apply insofar as a change would restrict your rights.

11. Dispute resolution

The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution: ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration body.

12. Additional terms for the iOS version

This section applies only if you obtained the app from the App Store. It implements the provisions Apple requires for apps that ship their own terms of use. In case of conflict, Apple's mandatory provisions prevail over the other provisions of these terms.

12.1 Parties to the contract. This agreement is concluded between you and us only, not between you and Apple. We alone are responsible for the app and its content.

12.2 Scope of licence. The licence granted to you is limited to using the app on Apple devices that you own or control, and is subject to the Usage Rules set out in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.

12.3 Maintenance and support. We alone are responsible for maintenance and support of the app. Apple has no obligation to provide it. You can reach us at info@snusquit.com.

12.4 Warranty. Should the app fail to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever. Your statutory rights against us remain unaffected.

12.5 Claims and product liability. We alone are responsible for any claims relating to the app, in particular product liability claims, claims that the app fails to conform to applicable legal requirements, and claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.

12.6 Third-party intellectual property. Should a third party claim that the app infringes its intellectual property rights, we alone are responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of that claim, not Apple.

12.7 Export compliance. By using the app you represent that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated by the US Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

12.8 Apple as third-party beneficiary. Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms. Upon your acceptance of these terms, Apple has the right to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.

13. Final provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer protection provisions of the state in which you have your habitual residence remain unaffected.

Should any provision of these terms be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions is unaffected.
