Terms of use
1. Who we are and what these terms cover
These terms apply to the Sticky Birthdays app for iPhone and Android (“the app”), provided by
Cornelius Illi Ventures UG (haftungsbeschränkt)
Mozartstraße 7, 72636 Frickenhausen, Germany
Managing director: Cornelius Illi
Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB 787794
E-mail: support@corneliusilli.de
You get the app from Apple’s App Store (including TestFlight) or from Google Play. The terms of that store apply as well: on Apple’s platforms Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement, on Google Play the Google Play Terms of Service.
2. What the app does
Sticky Birthdays keeps a birthday visible until you have reached out: with a reminder, on the lock screen (a Live Activity on iPhone, an ongoing notification on Android) and in the widget, until you mark it as done. It takes birthdays from the calendars and contacts you choose and from the birthdays you add yourself.
There is no account and no server of ours. Everything the app knows is stored on your phone; how it handles your data is described in the privacy policy.
3. What the app cannot promise
- Reminders are delivered by your phone. The app schedules them on your phone; iOS or Android decides when they are shown. Switched-off notifications or Live Activities, Focus or Do Not Disturb, battery saving, a phone that is off, or changes made by an operating system update can delay or suppress a reminder. On Android, reminders do not use exact alarms and may arrive a few minutes late. Treat the app as a help, not as the only place you keep a date that matters to you.
- Birthdays are only as correct as their source. The app shows what is in your calendars, your contacts and your own entries; it cannot check whether a date or a name is right.
- Some features depend on your phone. They need a supported version of iOS or Android and the permissions you grant. Updates of the app can add, change or remove features.
4. Your calendars, contacts and data
The app changes a calendar or a contact only after you have confirmed it, and it shows you what it will change first. Your birthdays, settings and photos exist only on your phone and in the backups your phone makes (iCloud, Google or your computer). Since we never receive them, we cannot restore them if you delete the app or lose your phone without a backup.
5. Using the app
You may use the app for your own personal purposes within the licence of the store you got it from (section 1). The app, its design and its texts are protected; the rights in them remain with us. Your statutory rights to use software are not affected.
6. Price and purchase
On Google Play, Sticky Birthdays is a one-time purchase at the price shown in the store before you buy. You buy it through Google Play: payment, receipts and refunds are handled by the store under its rules (see its refund policies). The price includes all features of the app; there are no in-app purchases and no subscription.
On iPhone, the app is currently available only for testing through TestFlight, which is free. Before the app is sold on the App Store, this section will state its price and the purchase rules there.
Your statutory rights as a consumer, including your rights if the app is defective, are not affected by these terms.
7. Liability
We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz) and where we have given a guarantee.
For slight negligence we are liable only if we breach an obligation that makes the proper use of the app possible in the first place and on which you may regularly rely (an essential obligation), and then only for the damage that is typical and foreseeable for this kind of contract. Otherwise, liability for slight negligence is excluded. These limits also apply to our employees and agents.
8. Applicable law and disputes
German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not take away the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of the country where you have your habitual residence.
We are neither willing nor obliged to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
9. Changes
We update these terms when the app, its price or the law changes. The date at the top shows the latest change. A change does not alter the terms of a purchase you have already made.
