Terms and Conditions
TLDR
These terms cover our apps, website, and Hire work. Use our products lawfully. App Store products are provided as-is. Custom Hire projects are governed by the written quote or statement of work we agree to with you.
Last Updated: August 7, 2026
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") are an agreement between you and KAppz LLC ("KAppz," "we," "us," or "our"). They apply to our website at kappz.net, our consumer apps, and our custom development services offered through Hire.
1. Acceptance
By using our website or apps, or by requesting or purchasing Hire services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use our services.
2. Our Services
- Apps: software we publish on Apple platforms for end users
- Website: kappz.net and related pages, forms, and content
- Hire: design and development services for a scoped first version or related project work
3. Acceptable Use
You agree to:
- Follow applicable laws
- Not abuse, disrupt, or attempt to break our apps, website, or systems
- Not submit unlawful, harassing, or infringing content through forms or project materials
- Not misrepresent your identity or affiliation when contacting us
We may suspend access or refuse service if we reasonably believe these Terms were violated.
4. Consumer Apps
Apps are licensed, not sold, for personal use under Apple's standard licensed application end user terms and any in-app notices. Features can change with updates. Some apps store data on your device or use Apple services you enable. You are responsible for backing up important data.
Unless a paid subscription or in-app purchase terms say otherwise for a specific app, consumer apps are provided without a paid service-level commitment. In the European Economic Area, UK, and Switzerland, our consumer apps are offered as free apps. We do not currently sell paid app unlocks or Hire engagements as a checkout product to customers in those regions.
5. Website Content and Forms
Website content is for general information. Prices, timelines, and examples on Hire pages are starting points and may change. Quote and contact forms are invitations to communicate, not a binding contract until we both agree in writing to project terms.
6. Hire and Custom Development
This section applies when you hire us to build or improve an app.
6.1 Quotes and agreement
A free quote request is not a project agreement. A project begins when we both accept written terms such as a quote, statement of work, email confirmation of scope and price, or invoice for a defined engagement (the "Project Agreement"). If a Project Agreement conflicts with these Terms, the Project Agreement controls for that project.
6.2 Scope and changes
We deliver the features and deliverables described in the Project Agreement. New requests, major changes, or out-of-scope work may require a revised quote or change order. Soft language on the Hire page (such as "projects start at") is marketing context, not a fixed bid for your idea until scoped. Advertised starting prices are for a simple, tightly scoped first version of an app.
6.3 Client responsibilities
You agree to provide timely feedback, required accounts or assets, and accurate information. Delays on your side can delay delivery. You confirm you have rights to materials you give us, and that your project does not unlawfully infringe others' rights.
6.4 Fees and payment
Fees, deposits, milestones, and refund rules are set in the Project Agreement or invoice. Unless that agreement says otherwise, work may pause if invoices are unpaid. Any deposit terms, including whether a deposit is refundable, will be stated in writing before we start.
Our Hire project fees do not include Apple App Store fees, the Apple Developer Program yearly membership fee, App Store Connect charges, or similar Apple or third-party fees and subscriptions. Those costs are your responsibility unless a Project Agreement expressly says we will cover a specific fee.
6.5 Intellectual property for Hire work
- Your materials: you keep ownership of content, trademarks, and assets you provide
- Project deliverables: upon full payment, we assign to you the custom code and designs created specifically for your project, excluding Preexisting Materials
- Preexisting Materials: we retain rights in our tools, templates, libraries, know-how, and anything we created before or outside your project. We grant you a license to use Preexisting Materials as embedded in your deliverables
- Portfolio: we may mention the project and show non-confidential screenshots in our portfolio or marketing only with your permission
6.6 Third-party services and Apple review
Apps may depend on Apple, cloud providers, or other third parties. We do not control App Store review outcomes, policy changes, or third-party outages. We will use reasonable effort to help with submission and review responses when that is in scope.
6.7 Launch support
If the Project Agreement includes post-launch support (for example, 30 days of bug fixes), that support covers defects in the agreed deliverables, not new features, redesigns, or issues caused by OS changes outside our control, unless we agree to include them.
7. Intellectual Property (Website and Apps)
Except for Hire deliverables assigned under Section 6, KAppz and its licensors own the website, our published apps, branding, and related materials. You may not copy, reverse engineer (except where law allows), resell, or create derivative works from those materials without our written permission.
8. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information for apps, the website, and Hire communications.
9. Disclaimers
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN A PROJECT AGREEMENT, OUR WEBSITE, APPS, AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
10. Limitation of Liability
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, KAPPZ AND ITS AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OUR SERVICES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATED TO THE WEBSITE OR CONSUMER APPS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SPECIFIC APP OR SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) USD $100. FOR HIRE PROJECTS, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED THE FEES YOU PAID US FOR THAT PROJECT IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, EXCEPT WHERE A PROJECT AGREEMENT SETS A DIFFERENT CAP.
Some places do not allow certain limitations. In those places, our liability is limited to the fullest extent allowed.
11. Indemnity
For Hire projects, you agree to defend and indemnify KAppz against third-party claims arising from your project materials or your breach of these Terms or the Project Agreement, except to the extent caused by our willful misconduct. This section is not intended to create a broad indemnity for ordinary use of our free consumer apps.
12. Termination
You may stop using our apps and website at any time. We may suspend or end access for violations of these Terms. Hire project cancellation is handled under the Project Agreement. Sections that should survive (including IP, payment amounts already due, disclaimers, liability limits, and indemnity) will survive termination.
13. Changes
We may update these Terms by posting a new version on this page with a new "Last Updated" date. Changes apply going forward. For active Hire projects, changes do not rewrite a signed Project Agreement unless both sides agree.
14. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Courts in Michigan will have exclusive jurisdiction, except where applicable law requires otherwise for consumers.
