Terms of use

Last updated: [date]

The short version

  • Tynix is free to use for your own tasks, with or without an account.
  • Sharing lists and handing off tasks is free with limits; Tynix Circle, bought once, lifts them.
  • If a purchase is refunded, your lists go back to what the free plan allows.
  • Don't use Tynix to spam, harass or harm anyone. We act on reports.

Who we are

Tynix is made by [company name], [registered address] ("we"). Contact: [contact email]. How we handle your data is in the privacy policy.

Using Tynix

  • You must be at least 16 years old.
  • An account (Sign in with Apple or Google) is optional and free. Sharing a list, handing off a task and buying Tynix Circle need one.
  • Without an account, your data is tied to this phone's Tynix: if you delete the app or change phones, it can't be recovered. Data unused for 180 days without an account may be deleted.

The free plan

The free plan includes, per Apple or Google account (they apply to the account you sign in with, also if you delete your Tynix account and start again):

  • sharing with 1 person at a time, in up to 5 shared lists;
  • 25 handoffs in total. A handoff is giving a task to someone: assigning it, handing off a task that was finished or taken back, moving a handed-off task to another list, or adding a step to a handed-off task. Re-assigning an open task to someone else in the same list doesn't count;
  • 3 different people over time. Someone you shared with before can always come back;
  • when someone leaves your lists, their place stays taken for 30 days;
  • a handed-off task can have up to 10 checklist lines, and its title and notes can be changed in the first 10 minutes after handing it off.

Joining a list someone shares with you, and doing the tasks handed to you, are always free.

Tynix Circle

  • Tynix Circle is a one-time purchase in the App Store or Google Play (no subscription) at the price the store shows. It lets you share with 4 people, in any number of lists, with unlimited handoffs. You can add 4 more people at a time, up to 40, with further one-time purchases.
  • A purchase belongs to the Tynix account you're signed in with when you buy. Restore (in Tynix) gets it back on a new phone. It can move to another account with Restore once every 30 days; a quicker move is held until then.
  • People you share with stay on the free plan; Tynix Circle is for the lists you own.

Refunds

  • Apple and Google handle refunds under their own rules; ask them through your store account. [Your statutory rights as a consumer, e.g. the EU right of withdrawal, aren't affected: wording to be confirmed by a lawyer.]
  • If Apple asks us about a refund request, we tell Apple how much of Tynix Circle you used, only if you turned this on (iPhone: on the Tynix Circle screen, or Settings → Refund requests; you can turn it off at any time). "Used" is the higher of: the people you shared with beyond the free plan's 1, out of the 3 more Tynix Circle gives (a +4 step: beyond the circle it was added to, out of 4); and the handoffs beyond the free 25, out of a further 25. If you used nothing, we ask Apple to give you the refund; if you used half or more, we ask Apple to decline it. Apple decides.
  • Once a purchase is refunded, your account goes back to the plan it still has. If that's the free plan: the first person you shared with stays; everyone else is taken out of your lists (their own lists and tasks aren't touched), and tasks handed to them come back to you. Lists beyond the free plan's 5 stop being shared. The people taken out are told.

Shared lists and handoffs

  • You decide who you share with. Anyone you invite joins your circle and sees your name, the tasks you hand them and the lists you share with them. Each invite link is for one person and works for 7 days.
  • You can remove or block someone at any time, and anyone can leave a list.
  • Report anything abusive in the app: we review reports and may remove content, lists or accounts.

Fair use

Don't use Tynix to send spam, harass or threaten anyone, share illegal content, or get around the plan's limits, for example with automated or throwaway accounts. Don't try to break, overload or reverse-engineer the service. We may limit, suspend or delete accounts that do, and we limit how often anyone can do some things (sending feedback, alerts) to keep Tynix working for everyone.

Your content

Your tasks and lists are yours. You let us store and sync them, and show them to the people you share them with, only so Tynix works for you. You can export or delete them at any time in Settings.

Changes to Tynix and these terms

We may change Tynix and these terms; we'll say so in the app or here before a change that matters to you takes effect. A purchase you've made keeps what it gave you.

Liability and law

[Warranty, limitation of liability and governing law: to be written with a lawyer for the publishing company and the countries Tynix is sold in.]
