1. About these Terms and acceptance
DwellTick is operated by Brendon Frick, trading as Frick’s Productions, in British Columbia, Canada (“we”, “us” or “our”). These Terms govern your use of DwellTick and its support website. They supplement the Apple Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (“Standard EULA”), which governs the app licence, and do not replace it.
In the app, read these Terms and the Privacy Policy before selecting Agree & Continue. That affirmative action records your agreement to these Terms and acknowledgement of the Privacy Policy. Downloading the app alone is not treated as agreement to every provision. Use of the support website is subject to these Terms only to the extent that notice and acceptance are legally effective.
If you decline new Terms, you can still use the app’s data and subscription controls to export or delete existing records, view legal documents, restore purchases and manage billing. Declining revised Terms does not waive rights arising from an existing purchase. Accepting these Terms does not itself make a purchase or authorize a charge.
2. Eligibility
You must have the legal capacity to enter this agreement under the law that applies to you, or use DwellTick with a parent or legal guardian’s permission and supervision where permitted. DwellTick is a general home-management utility, not a service directed to children. Its App Store content rating does not determine contractual capacity. Apple’s eligibility requirements also apply to use of your Apple Account.
3. What DwellTick provides
DwellTick is a home maintenance journal for supported iPhone and iPad devices. It helps you organize care tasks, record completed work and costs, and review information you enter. The current app stores the journal on your device. It has no DwellTick account registration, public posting service, automatic cross-device journal sync or developer-operated journal server.
The current app requires iOS or iPadOS 18 or later. App Store availability, supported devices and system requirements may change with future versions. The app’s description and purchase screen identify the functionality offered with the version and plan you choose.
4. Free and paid features
Some functionality is available without payment, while DwellTick Pro requires an active subscription. The current free journal includes care tasks, service records, optional due-date reminders and JSON/CSV backup and export. Pro adds care reports, cost summaries, estimates based on your records and advance reminders. The monthly and annual plans currently provide the same Pro features.
Technical safeguards apply equally to the free and Pro journal: up to 100 MB, 50,000 tasks and 200,000 service records, with limits on individual fields. PDF reports support up to 2,000 tasks and service records combined and 200,000 text characters. Larger journals can use free JSON and CSV exports within the journal limits.
We may improve, add, modify or discontinue features as described in section 13, subject to notice, existing paid entitlements and remedies required by law. No particular feature is promised to remain available forever, and a subscription does not promise a particular schedule of future features.
5. Auto-renewable subscriptions
DwellTick may offer optional auto-renewable subscriptions through Apple’s App Store. The subscription name, included features, full price, currency and billing period are displayed before purchase. An annual plan is billed for the full year, not in monthly instalments. Review the app’s offer and Apple’s purchase confirmation before authorizing payment.
Payment is charged through your Apple Account (Apple ID / App Store account) when you confirm a purchase. A subscription automatically renews for its billing period unless cancelled under Apple’s applicable subscription rules or an applicable legal right. Renewal payments are charged through that Apple Account. Apple ordinarily charges the renewal during the 24 hours before the current period ends; use Apple’s displayed renewal date and cancellation deadline.
Manage or cancel a subscription through Manage subscription in the app, Apple’s subscription-management page, or Settings → your name → Subscriptions on your Apple device. For ordinary App Store cancellation, cancel at least 24 hours before renewal to avoid the next scheduled charge. This timing does not restrict any stronger cancellation or refund right provided by law.
Deleting DwellTick, deleting journal data or declining new Terms does not by itself cancel an active subscription. Ordinary cancellation turns off future renewal; access generally continues through the paid period unless a refund, revocation or applicable legal remedy changes it.
Any free trial or promotional offer is governed by the eligibility, duration, renewal price and other conditions displayed when you accept it. Do not assume a trial is included unless it is expressly shown. If offered, cancel a trial before Apple’s displayed deadline to avoid the subsequent charge.
Prices may vary by storefront, region, currency, taxes, promotional offer or plan. Price changes are subject to Apple’s notice and consent processes and applicable law. We do not authorize additional charges merely by changing this webpage.
Use Restore purchases with the Apple Account that purchased Pro. Access depends on Apple-verified transaction information; a pending purchase does not unlock Pro until approved. When a subscription expires or is refunded or revoked, Pro access may end. Your existing journal and free export controls remain available. Restoring a purchase does not transfer journal data between devices.
6. Purchases, refunds and statutory cancellation rights
Apple processes App Store purchases and generally handles refund requests through its Report a Problem service, under its applicable policies and processes. We cannot promise that Apple will grant a particular refund. These Terms do not declare all purchases non-refundable or remove rights against the legally responsible supplier. Contact us if you need assistance exercising a statutory right.
Where British Columbia’s subscription-renewal protections apply, you may cancel renewal before or after the renewal date without a cancellation penalty. For renewal periods longer than 60 days, applicable law requires advance notice 30–60 days before renewal and a prescribed refund of the unused portion following cancellation after renewal, payable within the statutory period. These rights, and any stronger applicable cancellation or refund rights, prevail over the general Apple-billing description above.
Keep your purchase confirmation and a copy of these Terms. You may save or share the Terms from the app’s Legal screen or print this page. Your purchase confirmation identifies your individual transaction; the effective date of this webpage is not your purchase date.
7. Acceptable use
Use DwellTick lawfully and respect other people’s rights. Do not misuse the app or support website, impersonate others, attempt to obtain another person’s information without permission, bypass purchase verification or security controls, or intentionally damage, disrupt or exploit the app or connected services.
Do not attack servers or APIs used to deliver the app or website, send abusive automated requests, introduce malicious files, or exploit vulnerabilities to harm others. Reverse engineering, decompilation and circumvention are restricted only to the extent permitted by the applicable app licence and law. Nothing here prohibits activity that applicable law protects, or responsible reporting of a suspected vulnerability without exploiting it or accessing others’ information.
8. Intellectual property
DwellTick’s original software, design, branding, graphics and written materials are owned by or licensed to Frick’s Productions to the extent protected by applicable law. Your right to use the app is governed by the Standard EULA. No ownership of the app is transferred to you.
Third-party materials, Apple frameworks, system fonts and symbols remain subject to their respective owners’ rights and licences. We do not claim ownership of your content or third-party materials, or imply endorsement by Apple or another organization. Attribution information is available in Settings → Legal → Licenses & Attributions.
9. Your journal and other content
You retain your rights in the tasks, notes, labels, records and other content you create or import. You are responsible for the accuracy of your entries and for having permission to record or share someone else’s information.
You authorize the app to store, display, process and export your content on your device as necessary to carry out your requests. This does not grant us a right to publish, sell or train AI systems on your journal. We do not receive your journal through the app.
If you voluntarily send content to support, you give us only the permission reasonably needed to review it and respond to your request, subject to the Privacy Policy and law. Exported or shared copies are controlled by the recipients or storage providers you choose. Keep separate backups of important records.
10. Privacy
The Privacy Policy explains how information is handled in the app, on the support website and when you contact us. The current app has no advertising or analytics SDK and does not request tracking permission. Optional notifications are a separate choice.
When you accept these Terms in the app, the Terms version, a digest of the text and the acceptance time are stored locally on your device. This record is not sent to us and is not an account or verified identity. Accepting these Terms is not consent to unrelated collection, advertising or tracking. Nothing in these Terms reduces our obligations or your rights under applicable privacy law.
11. Third-party services
DwellTick uses Apple services and frameworks for distribution, payments, verified subscription status, notifications and supported system features. Cloudflare hosts the support website, and TELUS provides the support email mailbox. Apple may provide aggregate reports and user-authorized diagnostics under its own policies. We have not added third-party advertising, analytics, authentication or crash-reporting SDKs to the app.
Apple services, external links and destinations you choose for backups or sharing are governed by their applicable terms and privacy practices. Their availability is outside our direct control. This does not exclude responsibility that the law places on us for providers we engage.
12. Maintenance information and AI-assisted development
DwellTick is an organizational tool, not a professional inspection, safety certification, emergency alert service, or source of legal, medical, financial or other professional advice. Suggested task names are starting points, not prescribed maintenance intervals. Verify important maintenance against the manufacturer’s instructions and consult a qualified professional for safety-critical work.
Estimates use the information you enter, omit unrecorded costs and are not quotations or guarantees. Reminders may be missed or delayed because of device settings, Focus, permissions or operating-system limits. The app schedules the nearest 60 future notifications when opened; open it periodically to refresh them. Use independent safeguards for critical maintenance.
Artificial intelligence tools assisted in creating DwellTick’s software, interface, tests and documentation. The current app does not generate personalized AI advice or send journal entries to AI services. AI assistance does not guarantee accuracy or remove our legal responsibilities.
13. Availability, updates and feature changes
We aim to provide a useful app, but uninterrupted, error-free availability and compatibility with every future device or operating system cannot be guaranteed. Internet access may be needed for purchases, restoration and external links. Local journal functions are designed to work offline.
We may issue maintenance, compatibility and security updates and make improvements to the interface or functionality. Material changes to paid benefits, system requirements or availability must respect existing paid entitlements, required notice, cancellation rights and refunds. We will not rely on this section to unilaterally reduce statutory cancellation or refund protections. Where renewed agreement is required, we will seek it.
If DwellTick is discontinued, any required notice, opportunity to retrieve records and remedy for an unfulfilled paid entitlement will be provided. This section does not exclude obligations that applicable law makes mandatory.
14. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, DwellTick and its support website are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without additional warranties of uninterrupted availability, freedom from errors or suitability for your particular maintenance needs. No statement here excludes a warranty, quality standard or remedy that the law does not permit us to exclude.
You should check your records, maintain backups and verify important information independently. These reasonable precautions do not transfer to you responsibility for our own unlawful conduct or remove statutory consumer rights. The Standard EULA separately addresses the app licence’s warranties.
15. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Frick’s Productions excludes liability under these additional Terms for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses arising from use of, or inability to use, DwellTick or its support website, including indirect loss of profits, business opportunity or data.
This provision does not impose a monetary cap or expand any exclusion in the applicable app licence. It does not exclude liability for fraud, deliberate wrongdoing, death or personal injury caused by negligence where exclusion is prohibited, breach of non-excludable privacy duties, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
Mandatory statutory warranties, consumer protections, cancellation and refund rights, and other non-excludable remedies remain unaffected. If an exclusion does not apply in your jurisdiction or circumstances, it does not apply to your claim.
16. Limited indemnification for intentional misuse
Only to the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to reimburse us for reasonable, direct losses and legal costs finally awarded by a competent court on a third-party claim to the extent caused by your intentional unlawful misuse of DwellTick or deliberate, material violation of these Terms.
This limited obligation does not cover ordinary use, accidental errors, a good-faith complaint, exercise of a legal right, or any loss caused by our negligence, wrongdoing or breach of duty. It imposes no obligation where consumer law prohibits it. We must give reasonable notice of a claim and an opportunity to participate in its defence; no settlement creates an obligation for you without your express agreement.
17. Suspension, termination and ending use
You may stop using DwellTick at any time. Export any records you wish to keep and separately cancel any subscription you no longer want.
Subject to the Standard EULA and applicable law, we may restrict access to services we control, or seek termination of the app licence, when reasonably necessary to address material misuse, fraud, unlawful activity, a security threat or a material breach of these Terms. Where practical and appropriate, we will explain the reason and allow a remediable breach to be corrected. Immediate action may be necessary to address a serious threat or comply with law.
We do not have remote access to erase your local journal. Suspension or termination does not automatically cancel Apple billing, forfeit a statutory refund or remove accrued rights. Any continued restriction of paid benefits must be lawful and accompanied by any required remedy.
18. Changes to these Terms
The Effective Date and Last Updated date identify this version. We may propose changes to reflect app updates, changes in law or our practices. Material changes will be communicated in the app or by another appropriate method, with advance notice and renewed agreement where required.
Posting revised wording silently does not by itself establish acceptance of every change. We will not apply changes retroactively to remove accrued rights or authorize a new charge. Changes to an existing subscription must satisfy applicable notice and consent requirements; we do not reserve an unrestricted right to change its cancellation, return or refund terms.
The app requests a new affirmative choice for materially revised Terms and records the accepted version and time locally. Declining preserves access to data and subscription controls and does not waive existing purchase rights.
19. Governing law and disputes
These additional Terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, subject to any mandatory laws that apply where you live. The Standard EULA governs the app licence separately to the extent legally effective.
You retain any mandatory consumer protections, access to local courts or tribunals, and jurisdictional protections available to you. These Terms do not require arbitration, waive class proceedings, prevent a complaint to a regulator or require a consumer to bring a claim exclusively in British Columbia. You may contact us to try to resolve a concern, but this is not a condition of exercising a legal right.
20. Apple-specific terms
Your agreement concerning DwellTick is with Frick’s Productions, not Apple. Subject to applicable law, Frick’s Productions is responsible for the app and its content; Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for DwellTick. Contact us for app support.
You must comply with Apple’s applicable App Store and media-services terms and usage rules. Apple’s own billing obligations, remedies and any duties imposed by law remain unaffected. Responsibility for app-related product, intellectual-property and consumer claims is allocated under the applicable licence and law; it is not shifted to Apple by these Terms.
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of the applicable end-user licence terms and may enforce those terms to the extent provided by the Standard EULA and applicable law. These product-specific Terms are not submitted as a replacement custom EULA. If they conflict with the app licence, the licence controls that subject, always subject to mandatory law.
21. Severability and preserved rights
If a provision is unlawful or unenforceable in your circumstances, it applies only to the extent legally permitted or is severed where appropriate. The remaining Terms continue only insofar as this does not deprive you of mandatory protections. Failure to enforce a provision on one occasion is not a waiver of a right on another occasion.
Nothing in these Terms prevents truthful reviews, good-faith security reports, legally protected conduct or the exercise of statutory rights.
