Terms of Use and End-User License Agreement

ReadAura — Last updated: August 21, 2026

1. Agreement

These Terms of Use and End-User License Agreement (the "Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Oleh Vasylyshyn, a sole proprietor (individual entrepreneur) established in Poland (the "Developer", "we"), governing your use of the ReadAura mobile application (the "App"). If you obtained the App from the Apple App Store, these Terms constitute a custom end-user license agreement between you and the Developer, not Apple. If you obtained the App from Google Play, these Terms apply together with the applicable Google Play terms. Mandatory app-store usage rules prevail only to the extent of an unavoidable conflict with these Terms. By downloading or using the App you agree to these Terms. The Privacy Policy explains how we process personal data; it is not part of these Terms and does not request your consent to processing based on contract, legal obligation, or legitimate interests. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App. You must be at least 13 years old to use the App; if you are under the age of legal majority in your country, a parent or guardian must agree to these Terms on your behalf.

2. License

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the App for your personal, non-commercial purposes on devices that you own or control, in accordance with these Terms and the rules of the app store from which you obtained the App.

If you obtained the App from the Apple App Store, the license is limited to use of the App on Apple-branded products that you own or control and as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the App may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with the purchaser through Family Sharing or volume purchasing where Apple permits it.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, rent, lease, transfer, sublicense, or make the App available over a network except as expressly permitted by applicable app-store rules; reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, or attempt to derive its source code except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law; circumvent its technical, security, payment, or licensing restrictions (including free-tier limits); interfere with the App's operation; distribute modified copies; or use the App for any unlawful purpose. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

3. Aura Plus subscription

The App is free to use with a limited number of books. The optional Aura Plus subscription (monthly or yearly) unlocks unlimited books and Aura Insights — personal weekly and monthly reading reports generated on your device from your reading logs. Aura Insights are automated informational summaries generated from your own reading logs and are provided for personal information purposes only.

• Payment is charged to your Apple App Store or Google Play account at confirmation of purchase, at the price shown in the App before you buy.
• The subscription renews automatically for the same period and price until you cancel it. You can cancel at any time in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings; to avoid renewal, cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period already paid for.
• Payments are processed by Apple or Google. Refund requests, including any statutory right of withdrawal for consumers, should be directed to Apple or Google, which process all payments under their policies. Your statutory consumer rights remain unaffected.
• Use "Restore Purchases" in the App to regain paid access after reinstalling the App or changing devices (with the same store account). Restoring purchases does not restore local reading data.
• Family Sharing applies to the App itself. The Aura Plus subscription is tied to the store account that purchased it and is not shared through Family Sharing.
• We may change subscription prices or what the free tier includes; price changes apply only prospectively and will be communicated in accordance with the applicable app store's rules before they take effect. A lapsed subscription never removes access to data you have already saved.

After confirmed expiry, the newest books that fit within the free limit remain fully editable. Other books remain stored but become read-only; their reading logs, covers, and statistics remain available, but they cannot be edited or deleted until paid access is restored. Uninstalling the App removes all local data. Renewing Aura Plus restores eligible access. A verification error or store grace period is not treated as confirmed expiry. While the device is offline the App relies on the last verified subscription status, so paid access continues until the end of the period that was last confirmed.

4. Your content and data

You own the content you create in the App (books, reading logs, cover images, statistics). This data is stored locally on your device and is not uploaded automatically. Your operating system may back up some local data according to platform settings and backup rules, but the App does not guarantee a backup or successful restore, and cover image files are never included.

You may create a portable library archive from About & Support → Data. If the App cannot start and a retry fails, it may offer a recovery database when readable data is available. These files remain local unless you deliberately choose a destination in the system share sheet. The App cannot import them in this version. If you send an export or recovery database to support, the Developer and the support email service provider receive its contents solely to handle your request, subject to the Privacy Policy. You are responsible for reviewing the destination and for ensuring that content you add or share (such as cover images) does not infringe the rights of others.

5. Intellectual property

The App, including its software, design, graphics, and the ReadAura name and branding, is owned by the Developer and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights in them beyond the license in Section 2.

If you send us suggestions or feedback about the App, we may use them without restriction, obligation, or compensation.

6. Changes and availability

We may update, modify, or discontinue the App or any of its features at any time. We do not guarantee that the App will always be available, uninterrupted, or error-free, or that it will be supported on any particular device or operating system version. Purchase validation and crash reporting require an internet connection and depend on third-party services outside our control.

The App may provide access to or depend on third-party services, websites, and software, including Apple, Google, RevenueCat, Sentry, device backup services, and email providers (collectively, "External Services"). External Services are used at your own risk and are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we do not control and are not responsible for their availability, security, accuracy, content, or performance, or for outages, changes, or losses caused by them. This does not limit any responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded.

We are not responsible for delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including failures of app stores, payment processors, hosting or network providers, device operating systems, governmental actions, natural disasters, war, civil unrest, labor disputes, or widespread internet or power outages, except where applicable law provides otherwise.

7. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, quiet enjoyment, and non-infringement. No oral or written information, advice, or support communication from us creates a warranty not expressly stated in these Terms. Except for remedies required by applicable law, you assume the cost of any servicing, repair, or correction resulting from your use of the App.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Developer shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the App. The Developer's total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the App shall not exceed the greater of (a) EUR 50 or its equivalent in local currency, or (b) the amount you paid for the App and Aura Plus in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim. These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory of the claim and even if we were advised that such damages were possible or a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or death or personal injury caused by negligence. The limitations also do not restrict mandatory refunds, remedies for lack of conformity, or other statutory rights you have as a consumer.

For consumers habitually resident in the European Economic Area, liability is governed by statutory law as follows. We are liable without limitation for intent, gross negligence, fraud, for injury to life, body or health, and where mandatory product liability law applies. For slight negligence we are liable only where an obligation essential to the purpose of these Terms has been breached, and in that case only for the damage typically foreseeable for a contract of this kind. Any further liability for slight negligence is excluded. The monetary cap above does not apply to consumers in the European Economic Area.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App must be brought within one (1) year after the claim first arose. This time limit does not apply where mandatory law prohibits shortening a statutory limitation period, including for consumers in the European Economic Area.

9. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify the Developer against claims by third parties arising from content you add to the App, your breach of these Terms, or your unlawful use of the App, including reasonable costs of legal defense. This applies only where the claim results from your intentional or negligent conduct, and does not apply to the extent the claim results from an act or omission of the Developer. We will notify you of any such claim without undue delay, give you a reasonable opportunity to participate in its defense, and will not settle it without your consent, which you may not unreasonably withhold.

10. Termination

These Terms apply for as long as you use the App. Your license terminates automatically if you materially breach these Terms, subject to any notice or cure period required by applicable law. We may suspend or terminate access to paid features where reasonably necessary to enforce these Terms, protect the App or other users, or comply with law. You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. Uninstalling the App does not cancel the Aura Plus subscription; cancel it in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings as described in Section 3. Termination does not affect rights or remedies that accrued before termination or mandatory consumer rights. Sections 4–5 and 7–13 survive termination.

11. Apple App Store additional terms

If you obtained the App from the Apple App Store, the following additional terms apply:

1. Acknowledgement. These Terms are concluded between you and the Developer only, and not with Apple. The Developer, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content. These Terms do not conflict with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions as of the date you accept them.
2. Scope of license. The Apple-specific license limitations and permitted Family Sharing or volume-purchasing use are stated in Section 2.
3. Maintenance and support. The Developer is solely responsible for maintenance and support services for the App as required by applicable law or described in these Terms. Apple has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support for the App.
4. Warranty. The Developer is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent they have not been effectively disclaimed. If the App fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund any purchase price paid for the App. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App. The Developer is responsible for other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to an applicable warranty.
5. Product claims. The Developer, not Apple, is responsible for addressing claims by you or a third party relating to the App or your possession or use of it, including product-liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer-protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
6. Intellectual-property claims. If a third party claims that the App or your possession and use of it infringes that party's intellectual-property rights, the Developer, not Apple, is solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of that claim.
7. Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You may not export, re-export, or use the App in violation of U.S. law or the law of the jurisdiction where you obtained it, or for purposes prohibited by applicable export-control laws.
8. Developer details. The Developer's name, postal address, telephone number, and email address for questions, complaints, and claims are stated in Section 15.
9. Third-party terms. You must comply with applicable third-party agreements when using the App, including the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and your wireless-data-service agreement.
10. Third-party beneficiary. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. Upon your acceptance, Apple has the right (and is deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Poland, without regard to its conflict of law rules. If you are a consumer, you additionally benefit from any mandatory provisions of the consumer protection law of your country of residence, and nothing in this section deprives you of the right to bring proceedings in the courts of that country.

If you are not a consumer, the courts having jurisdiction over the Developer's registered seat in Poland shall have exclusive jurisdiction over all disputes arising from or relating to these Terms.

The Developer does not commit to and does not participate in out-of-court consumer dispute resolution (ADR) procedures, except where participation is required by mandatory law.

If you reside in the United States, you and the Developer agree that: (a) before filing any claim, the party raising the dispute will send the other a written description of it (using the contact details in Section 15, or the email address you used to contact us) and both parties will attempt in good faith to resolve it informally within sixty (60) days; (b) any claim may be brought only in the parties' individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding; and (c) to the extent permitted by law, each party waives the right to a jury trial. This paragraph does not prevent claims in small claims court and does not apply to the extent prohibited by the law of your state.

13. General

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a transfer of the App. These Terms and mandatory rules of the app store from which you obtained the App are the entire agreement between you and the Developer regarding the App. The Privacy Policy separately explains how personal data is processed.

We may give you notice through the App, on this page, or by replying to the email address you used to contact us. You may give us notice using the contact details in Section 15. A notice is treated as given when it is sent or published.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may amend these Terms only for one of the following important reasons:

1. a change in applicable law, or in its binding interpretation;
2. a decision, order, or recommendation of a court or a public authority;
3. a change in the requirements or policies of Apple or Google;
4. the introduction, modification, or discontinuation of features or services in the App, including changes to what the free tier includes;
5. the need to maintain security, or to prevent fraud or abuse;
6. a change in, or the discontinuation of, a third-party service the App depends on;
7. correcting errors, or clarifying wording in a way that does not reduce your rights.

We will give you at least 15 days' notice of a material change before it takes effect, by the date shown above together with notice in the App or on this page. A change required by point 1, 2, or 5 above may take effect sooner where the law or an imminent security risk requires it; we will still notify you as soon as we reasonably can.

If you do not accept a change, you may stop using the App and cancel any subscription before the change takes effect. Changes apply prospectively only: they never apply retroactively, and they never reduce rights already earned for a subscription period you have already paid for. Where applicable law requires your express consent, a change takes effect for you only after that consent. In other cases, continued use of the App after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

The current version is always available at readaura.olekraft.com/terms. We keep every earlier version on file and will provide the version in force on a given date on request.
