Terms of Use

Rodovid

1. Acceptance of Terms

By installing or using Rodovid (the "App") you agree to these Terms of Use and to the terms of the store you got the App from (Apple App Store or Google Play). If you obtained the App through the Apple App Store, Apple's Standard EULA also applies.

2. The Service

Rodovid is a family tree app that stores your data locally on your device. There are no accounts and no developer servers; you grow and share your tree by exchanging files that you control (see the Privacy Policy).

You are responsible for your data. Because we hold nothing, we cannot recover it for you: if you lose your device without a backup, the data cannot be restored by us — by design. Keep a .rodovid backup somewhere safe.

3. Free Tier and Rodovid Premium

• Free includes the full core experience — building your tree, quick-add, GEDCOM import/export, the Family Relay, and printing — for one tree of up to 50 people, with a small, tasteful watermark on printed charts;
• Rodovid Premium is an optional in-app purchase that removes those limits: unlimited people and multiple trees, and watermark-free posters and PDFs;
• If Premium is provided as a subscription and it lapses, your data stays visible and editable — only adding people beyond the free limit and the watermark-free export are paused until you renew. You never lose access to what you have already built.

4. Purchases and Billing

• Payments are processed by Apple App Store or Google Play under your store account; we never see your payment details;
• Prices are shown in the store's purchase UI and may vary by country and currency;
• If Premium is a subscription, it renews automatically until cancelled in your App Store or Google Play account settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, which stays active until then;
• Refunds are handled exclusively by Apple / Google under their policies;
• Purchases are per-platform: an App Store purchase does not carry over to Google Play and vice versa;
• Use "Restore purchases" in the App to bring an existing purchase to a new device on the same store account.

5. Acceptable Use

Use the App only in ways that are lawful in your jurisdiction. The information you record about other people — especially living relatives — is entered and controlled by you; treat it with respect and comply with privacy laws that apply to you. When you share a Family Relay file, you decide whether it includes living people's details, and you are responsible for who you send it to.

6. Intellectual Property

The App, its design, and its content (except your data) belong to the developer. Your data is yours — the App claims no rights to it. "GEDCOM" is a genealogy data standard maintained by a third party; Rodovid implements its own reader and writer for it.

7. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

The App is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the developer is not liable for any indirect or consequential damages, including loss of data — please keep backups. Rodovid's plausibility checks (for example, a warning that a birth date looks too early) are helpful hints, not verified genealogical facts; you are responsible for the accuracy of your tree. Print results depend on your own printer and paper.

8. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms as the App evolves (for example, when new features or plans are introduced). The "Last updated" date reflects the current version; continued use after an update means acceptance.
