Terms of Service

Effective Date: April 19, 2026 · Last Updated: April 19, 2026

1. Agreement to These Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Jonathan Dear, an individual developer ("we," "us," or "our"), governing your use of the Bottle Factory iOS app (the "App").

By creating an account or using the App, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

Please read Section 13 carefully. It contains an arbitration agreement and class-action waiver that affect your legal rights.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority in your state, to create an account and use the App. By using the App, you represent that you meet this requirement. The App is intended for parents, caregivers, and other adults responsible for a child's care.

3. Your Account

You create an account through Sign in with Apple or Sign in with Google. You are responsible for:

Keeping your Apple ID or Google account secure
All activity that happens under your account
Notifying us right away if you suspect unauthorized access to your account

You may have only one account per person unless we approve otherwise. You may not let anyone else use your account or sell, transfer, or share your account credentials.

4. License to Use the App

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the App on Apple-branded devices you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use.

You may not:

Copy, modify, or create derivative works of the App
Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code
Rent, lease, sell, sublicense, or redistribute the App
Remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices
Use the App to build a competing product
Use automated tools (bots, scrapers) to access or interact with the App or our servers
Use the App in any way that violates applicable laws or these Terms

5. Purchase and Pricing

Bottle Factory is available as a one-time purchase through the Apple App Store. All payments are processed by Apple under Apple's standard terms. We do not receive or store your payment information.

The price of the App is shown in the App Store and may change from time to time. Any price change will apply only to purchases made after the change takes effect.

6. Refunds

Refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple in accordance with Apple's refund policies. To request a refund, please contact Apple Support. We do not process refunds directly.

7. Sharing With Co-Caregivers

The App lets you invite another person (such as a partner or co-caregiver) to share a feeding log by sending them a share link or code.

You are responsible for:

Choosing who you invite to your shared log
The accuracy of any information you or your co-caregivers record
Removing a co-caregiver through the App's sharing settings when you no longer want them to have access

Once someone joins your shared log, they can view, add, and edit feeding entries until their access is removed. We are not responsible for disputes between co-caregivers over access to shared data.

8. User Conduct

When using the App, you agree not to:

Use the App for any unlawful, harmful, or fraudulent purpose
Interfere with or disrupt the App, our servers, or other users' use of the App
Attempt to access another user's account or data without permission
Upload or transmit any content that infringes another person's rights or violates any law
Attempt to probe, scan, or test the security of our systems without authorization

9. Not Medical Advice

BOTTLE FACTORY IS A TRACKING TOOL. IT IS NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE AND DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL ADVICE.

The App is intended to help you record and share information about your baby's feedings. It is not a substitute for professional medical care, advice, or judgment. Always consult with a qualified healthcare provider about your baby's health, nutrition, feeding schedule, or any medical concerns. Do not rely on the App for decisions about your baby's care that should involve a medical professional.

If you think your baby may be experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency services immediately.

10. Your Data

You retain ownership of the information you record in the App (such as feeding data and any notes). By using the App, you grant us a limited license to store, process, transmit, and display that information solely for the purpose of providing the App to you and to the co-caregivers you've invited.

Our Privacy Policy explains in detail what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

11. Our Intellectual Property

The App, including its name, logo, design, code, and content we provide, is owned by Jonathan Dear and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. These Terms do not transfer any ownership rights to you — only the limited license described in Section 4.

12. Disclaimers

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade.

We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components, or that any defects will be corrected. You use the App at your own risk.

We are not responsible for data loss, sync failures, delayed notifications, or other issues that may result from problems with your device, your internet connection, Apple's services, or our backend. We recommend you treat the App as a convenience, not as a critical record.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE APP — EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) TWENTY-FIVE U.S. DOLLARS ($25.00).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Jonathan Dear from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the App; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any rights of a third party; or (d) any content or data you record or share through the App.

15. Dispute Resolution — Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND REQUIRES MOST DISPUTES TO BE RESOLVED THROUGH INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF COURT.

Informal resolution first: Before filing any formal dispute, you agree to contact us at the email address at the end of these Terms and try to resolve the dispute informally. We'll do the same. Most disputes can be resolved this way.

Binding arbitration: If we can't resolve a dispute informally within 60 days, you and we agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will take place in Mississippi or another location we both agree to, or may be conducted remotely. The arbitrator's decision will be final and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class action waiver: You and we agree that any dispute will be brought in an individual capacity only, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims or preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.

Exceptions: Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court if the claim qualifies. Either party may also seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to protect intellectual property rights.

Opt-out right: You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending us written notice at the email address at the end of these Terms within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms.

16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Mississippi, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to Section 15, any dispute not subject to arbitration will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Mississippi, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

17. Termination

You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the App if you violate these Terms, if we reasonably believe termination is necessary to protect us or other users, or if we discontinue the App.

If the App is terminated or discontinued, we will provide reasonable notice when practical. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 18) will continue to apply.

18. Changes to the App and These Terms

We may update, modify, or discontinue features of the App at any time, with or without notice. We may also update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you in the App, by email, or both, before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

19. Apple-Specific Terms

These Terms are between you and Jonathan Dear, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. To the extent there is any inconsistency between these Terms and Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (EULA), these Terms will govern between you and us, but not as to Apple's rights.

You acknowledge and agree:

Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support services for the App.
If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation.
We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the App, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to legal requirements, and claims arising under consumer protection or similar laws.
If a third party claims the App infringes their intellectual property, we (not Apple) will be responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such claim.
You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo and are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance, Apple has the right to enforce these Terms against you.

20. Miscellaneous

Entire agreement: These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App.

Severability: If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest will remain in effect.

No waiver: Our failure to enforce any part of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.

Assignment: You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a sale of the App or our business.
