By using the app, you confirm that you are at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required for a child to use an online service in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher), and that you will comply with these Terms and all applicable laws.
Users under 18 should review these Terms with a parent or guardian. If you are using the app on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you have the authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the app on a device you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use.
This licence does not transfer any ownership of the app or any intellectual property in the app. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by us.
Anything you write in the app, your words, notes, letters, and any other content, belongs entirely to you. We do not claim any ownership of your content.
Because your content is stored only on your device and never transmitted to us, we do not have the ability to view, edit, delete, or moderate it. You are solely responsible for your content and for backing it up if you wish to preserve it beyond the lifetime of your device.
You may export your content at any time using the CSV export function in Settings.
The app does not use accounts. You do not create a username or password, and you do not sign in. Optional profile information you enter in Settings is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to us.
You agree that you will not:
- Use the app for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law
- Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the app, except to the extent permitted by law
- Attempt to interfere with, disrupt, or compromise the security or integrity of the app
- Use the app to harass, abuse, or harm another person
- Use automated means to access or interact with the app
- Remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices contained in the app
When you use the share functionality to export a share card image, you are responsible for how and where you share that image.
The app, including its design, graphics, text, typography, icons, layout, and code, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
"Vapor" and the Vapor logo are our trademarks. Nothing in these Terms grants you the right to use our trademarks without our prior written consent, except as necessary to describe the app in editorial or review contexts.
The typefaces used in the app (Cormorant Garamond and Inter) are licensed under their respective open font licences.
The app communicates with a small number of third parties. The first is a dictionary service (dictionaryapi.dev), which the app queries anonymously when you tap a saved word. This service is not operated by us, and we are not responsible for its availability, content, or practices.
The other two apply only if you buy Vapor Premium: Apple, on iPhone, or Google, on Android, processes the purchase, and RevenueCat validates and restores your subscription. These services are not operated by us, and your use of them is subject to their own terms and privacy policies. Our Privacy Policy describes what RevenueCat receives.
We will make reasonable efforts to keep the app available and functioning, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. We may release updates from time to time, and some updates may be required to continue using the app.
We may add, change, or remove features at our discretion. Where reasonably possible, we will give you advance notice of material changes. If a premium feature you have paid for is discontinued, we will provide a refund or equivalent value in accordance with applicable consumer protection laws.
The core of the app, writing one word a day and seeing it back, is free, and we do not show ads.
Vapor Premium is an optional set of additional features, sold as an auto-renewable subscription. It is available on iPhone and Android. Premium is processed by Apple on iPhone, or Google on Android. We do not receive or store your payment details.
Subscription terms
- Premium Monthly: $3.89 per month, with a 7 day free trial for new subscribers.
- Premium Annual: $38.00 per year.
- Prices are charged to your Apple Account, or your Google Play account, at confirmation of purchase. Prices may vary by region and are shown in your local currency at checkout.
- The subscription renews automatically for the same period unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Your Apple or Google Play account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
- If you start a free trial and then subscribe, any unused portion of that trial is forfeited when the subscription begins.
- You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your App Store or Google Play account settings. You can restore a previous purchase from Settings inside the app, using Restore Purchases.
Refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple, and Google Play purchases by Google, under their respective policies. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, if you are an Australian consumer, are not affected by any of this.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, and subject to Section 13 (Australian Consumer Law), the app is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied.
Without limiting the above: we do not warrant that the app will be error-free or continuously available; we do not warrant that your content will be preserved indefinitely; you are responsible for exporting and backing up your content if you wish to preserve it.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will we be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of data, loss of profits, or loss of goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the app.
Our total aggregate liability to you for all claims will not exceed the greater of the total amount you have paid us in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or AUD $100.
If you are a consumer in Australia, you have rights under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded, restricted, or modified by these Terms. Nothing here excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy under the Australian Consumer Law or any other statute, where to do so would be unlawful.
You may stop using the app and terminate these Terms at any time by uninstalling the app, which also deletes all of your content from your device.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the app if you materially breach these Terms, if we are required to do so by law, or if we cease to offer the app. In most cases we will provide reasonable notice before terminating access.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia. Subject to Section 12 and any mandatory consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction, any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the app will be resolved in the courts of Victoria, Australia.
Before filing any formal dispute, we ask that you contact us at [email protected] and give us a reasonable opportunity to resolve the matter informally.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, for material changes, notify you within the app on next launch. The current version is always available at vaporjournal.app/terms.
If you continue to use the app after a material change takes effect, you are accepting the updated Terms.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision will not be considered a waiver of that right or provision.
Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the app.
Apple. If you obtained the app from the Apple App Store, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and us, not Apple, and that Apple is not responsible for the app or its content.
Google. If you obtained the app from Google Play, the Google Play Terms of Service also apply to your acquisition of the app.
