Terms of Use
These terms are an agreement between you and Aetheris Innovations LLC, Mount Joy, Pennsylvania, USA (“we”, “us”), the publisher of the BP Notebook app. By downloading or using the app, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.
Medical disclaimer. BP Notebook is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. Always talk to your doctor before making medical decisions.
In an emergency, do not rely on the app. If you have a medical emergency, call your local emergency number now.
1. Using the app
We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use BP Notebook on devices you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial use, under these terms and the rules of the app store you got it from.
Please do not copy, sell, rent or redistribute the app, reverse engineer it except where the law allows, interfere with its ads or purchases, or use it to break any law. The app, its name, design and content belong to us or our licensors. Open-source parts of the app are covered by their own licenses, listed in the app under Settings › About › Open-source licenses.
The app is intended for adults (18 and over).
2. Not medical advice
- BP Notebook is a diary. It stores the numbers you type in from your own devices. It does not take readings with your phone and does not check whether your devices are accurate.
- Blood pressure categories in the app follow published tables from the American Heart Association / American College of Cardiology or the European Society of Cardiology. They are shown for information only. They are not a diagnosis and may not apply to you.
- Charts, averages, reports and notices do not replace advice from a doctor or other qualified health professional. Do not start, stop or change any treatment or medicine based on the app. Always talk to your doctor about your readings.
- The app does not contact emergency services or anyone else for you. If you feel unwell or have a medical emergency, call your local emergency number.
3. Your entries and backups
- You are responsible for the readings and notes you enter and for checking that they are correct before you share them with anyone, including your doctor.
- Your data is stored only on your phone. We do not keep a copy and cannot restore it for you. If you lose or reset your phone, or uninstall the app, your data is gone unless you made a backup.
- Make backups regularly and keep them somewhere safe and private. You are responsible for files you export or share, and for where you send them.
- If you use an encrypted backup, keep your passphrase safe. We cannot recover a lost passphrase, and without it the backup cannot be opened.
How we handle information is described in our Privacy Policy.
4. Purchases and subscriptions
BP Notebook is free to download. BP Notebook Pro is an optional upgrade, offered as a monthly subscription, a yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. The features included in Pro are listed in the app before you buy.
- Prices are shown in the App Store or Google Play before you confirm, in your local currency, and may include tax. Prices can differ between countries and may change. If the price of a subscription goes up, the store will tell you as its rules require.
- Payment is charged to your Apple Account or Google Play account when you confirm the purchase. Apple or Google handles all payments.
- Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period at the then-current price, unless you cancel. On Apple devices, cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period to avoid being charged for the next one. On Google Play, you can cancel at any time before the renewal date.
- To cancel or manage a subscription, use your store account settings: Apple: cancel a subscription or Google Play: cancel a subscription. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription. After you cancel, Pro stays on until the end of the period you paid for.
- Lifetime is a one-time purchase for Pro on the app store account you used to buy it, for as long as we offer the app on that store.
- Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies; we cannot issue them ourselves. See Apple: request a refund or Google Play refund policies. Nothing in these terms limits any right to a refund you have under the law of your country.
- Restore: to turn Pro on again on a new phone with the same store account, tap Restore purchases in the app.
We may change, add or remove Pro features in future versions. If we remove a major Pro feature you paid for, we will try to offer a fair alternative.
5. Ads
The free version shows ads served by Google. Ads are shown according to the consent choices you make, as explained in the Privacy Policy. We do not control or endorse the content of ads, the advertisers, or the websites and apps they lead to. If you see an ad that seems inappropriate, please tell us (see how to report an ad).
6. Apple and Google
These terms are between you and us, not Apple or Google. We, not Apple or Google, are responsible for the app and its content, maintenance, support, and any claims about it, as far as these terms say. Apple and Google have no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
If you got the app from the Apple App Store: if the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the app; to the maximum extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app. Apple is not 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 meet legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer protection or privacy claims. If a third party claims the app infringes its intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are responsible for investigating, defending, settling and discharging that claim. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you. You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Your use of the app must also follow the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, including the usage rules.
If you got the app from Google Play, your use must also follow the Google Play Terms of Service.
7. Availability and no warranty
We work hard to make BP Notebook reliable, but we provide it “as is” and “as available”. To the maximum extent the law allows, we make no warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not promise that the app will always be available, free of errors, or compatible with every device, or that reminders will always appear (your phone's settings, battery saving and notifications can affect them).
We may update the app, change features, or stop offering it. If we plan to stop offering the app, we will try to give notice in the app so you can export your data.
Some countries and states do not allow some of these exclusions, so they may not all apply to you.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent the law allows, Aetheris Innovations LLC and its members, employees and contractors are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost data, lost profits, or health or medical decisions made using the app, even if we were told such damages were possible.
To the maximum extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim relating to the app is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid for the app and Pro in the 12 months before the claim, and (b) US $50.
Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or your rights as a consumer under the mandatory law of the country where you live.
9. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be handled by the state or federal courts located in Pennsylvania, unless the law of the country where you live gives you the right to bring a claim in your local courts. If you live in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of your country.
If any part of these terms cannot be enforced, the rest stays in effect. If we do not enforce a part of these terms right away, we can still enforce it later.
10. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. We will post the new version on this page and update the effective date. If a change is significant, we will also tell you in the app or in the app store release notes before it takes effect. If you keep using the app after a change takes effect, you accept the new terms.
