Terms of Use

1. Agreement

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and LeptonO Inc. (“LeptonO”, “we”, “us”), the company that operates the AquaElectron mobile application for Android, iPhone and iPad and related services (the “App”), governing your use of the App. By downloading the App from Google Play or the Apple App Store, or by accessing or using it, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country) to use the App.

2. License

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on a device you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial aquarium-management purposes. For the iOS version, this license is limited to use on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the App may also be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you through Family Sharing where that is enabled. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, distribute, sell, or create derivative works of the App except as permitted by law.

3. Accounts

The App uses account-based authentication. You may create an account with an email address and password, or sign in with Google or Apple. You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.

You can permanently delete your account and associated data from within the App. Deletion is irreversible.

4. Subscriptions & billing

AquaElectron offers an optional Premium subscription that unlocks features such as unlimited aquariums, expanded photo storage (subject to a fair-use storage allotment displayed in the App), journal photos, the livestock growth tracker with progress photos, custom tags, data export, and an ad-free experience.

• Plans & pricing. Premium is offered as monthly and yearly auto-renewing subscriptions. Current prices, and any free trial or introductory offer, are shown in your local currency in the App and in the store — Google Play on Android, the Apple App Store on iOS — at the point of purchase; local taxes may be added by the store at checkout. A feature-by-feature comparison of the free and Premium plans is in the Plans section of our website.
• Payment. Purchases are processed by the store you buy from — Google, through your Google Play account, or Apple, through your Apple ID — not by us directly. We do not collect or store your payment details. Subscription management is handled through that store account.
• Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Google Play or Apple ID account is charged for renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends.
• Cancellation. You can cancel anytime in your Google Play subscription settings (Android) or, on iPhone and iPad, in Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Cancellation stops future renewals; it does not retroactively refund the current period.
• Refunds. Refunds are governed by the store you bought from: Google Play's refund policy or Apple's refund process (reportaproblem.apple.com). We do not separately process payments and generally cannot issue store refunds.
• Platform. A Premium subscription applies to the platform on which it was purchased — Google Play for Android, the Apple App Store for iOS — and can only be managed, cancelled or refunded through that store.
• Changes to pricing. We may change subscription pricing or features; changes apply to future billing periods and, where required, with notice and your consent.

5. Your content

The App lets you create and store content such as aquarium records, livestock entries, photos, water-parameter logs, expenses, tasks, journal entries, and tags (“Your Content”). You retain ownership of Your Content. You grant us a limited license to host, store, process, and display Your Content solely to operate and provide the App to you (for example, syncing it to your account and showing it back to you across devices).

You are responsible for Your Content and for keeping your own backups of anything important to you.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to: (a) use the App unlawfully or to infringe others’ rights; (b) upload malicious code or attempt to disrupt or gain unauthorized access to the App or its infrastructure; (c) scrape, resell, or commercially exploit the App without permission; or (d) misuse the App in any way that could damage, disable, or impair it.

7. Advertising

The free tier of the App displays advertising provided through Google AdMob. Subscribing to Premium removes ads. Advertising may involve the processing of certain device and advertising identifiers by Google, as described in our Privacy Policy and in Google’s privacy policy; it is not linked to your AquaElectron account.

8. Third-party services

The App relies on third-party services to function, including Supabase (authentication and database), Cloudflare (photo storage and delivery), Google (Google Sign-In and Google Play in-app purchases), Apple (Sign in with Apple and App Store in-app purchases), RevenueCat (subscription management), Google AdMob (advertising), and Google Firebase (crash and stability reporting). Your use of those features may also be subject to the third party’s terms. We are not responsible for third-party services.

9. Disclaimers

The App is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. AquaElectron is a record-keeping and management tool; it does not provide veterinary, animal-health, or professional advice, and you should not rely on it as a substitute for professional judgment regarding the care of livestock. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that data will never be lost.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, LeptonO and its suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the App. To the extent liability cannot be excluded, our total liability is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or USD 50.

11. Termination

You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you breach these Terms or if required to protect the App or other users. Sections that by their nature should survive (including ownership, disclaimers, liability, and governing law) survive termination.

12. App store terms

The App is distributed on Android through Google Play and on iPhone and iPad through the Apple App Store. The subsection for the store you obtained the App from applies to you, in addition to the rest of these Terms.

12.1 Google Play (Android)

• These Terms are between you and LeptonO only, and not with Google. Google is not responsible for the App or its content.
• Google has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App. Any product warranty (to the extent not effectively disclaimed) is our responsibility, not theirs.
• Google is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App, including product-liability, legal/regulatory, or intellectual-property claims.
• Google and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
• You represent that you are not located in an embargoed country or on a prohibited-party list, in line with applicable store and export rules.

12.2 Apple App Store (iOS)

The iOS version of the App is licensed to you under Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “Apple EULA”), which applies to apps downloaded from the App Store. These Terms apply in addition to the Apple EULA; if anything in these Terms is less restrictive than or conflicts with the Apple EULA, the Apple EULA governs. The following terms are also included as required by Apple:

• Acknowledgement. These Terms are concluded between you and LeptonO only, and not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”). LeptonO, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content.
• Scope of license. Your license to the App is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules set out in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the App may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
• Maintenance and support. LeptonO is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services for the App, as specified in these Terms or as required under applicable law. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App.
• Warranty. LeptonO is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App (if any) to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be LeptonO’s sole responsibility.
• Product claims. LeptonO, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession and/or use of the App, including: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
• Intellectual property rights. In the event of any third-party claim that the App, or your possession and use of the App, infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, LeptonO, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of any such claim.
• Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Developer contact. Questions, complaints or claims about the App should be directed to LeptonO Inc. using the details in section 14.
• Third-party terms. You must comply with any applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App (for example, your wireless data service agreement).
• Third-party beneficiary. Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated version here and revise the “Last updated” date. Material changes will be communicated where required. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

14. Governing law & contact

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Questions about these Terms can be sent to:
