2. The App
The App allows you to use a compatible iOS device to send remote control commands to supported consumer electronics devices (such as TVs, soundbars, streaming devices, air conditioners, and projectors) over your local network or through compatible hardware bridges. The App is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any manufacturer of the devices it controls. All brand names, trademarks, and product names referenced in the App are the property of their respective owners and are used solely for descriptive and interoperability purposes.
3. License
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download and use the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use, in accordance with Apple’s App Store Terms of Service.
You may not:
- Copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, or sublicense the App or any part of it
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the extent permitted by mandatory applicable law (§ 69e UrhG)
- Remove or alter any proprietary notices, labels, or marks
- Use the App in a way that violates applicable laws or third-party rights
- Use the App to interfere with, disrupt, or damage any device or network
4. In-App Purchases and Subscriptions
4.1 Pro Subscription
The App offers optional in-app purchases, including auto-renewing subscriptions (“Pro”). Pro unlocks additional features such as access to all supported brands, advanced macros, multi-device profiles, and an ad-free experience.
Pricing, billing periods, and available subscription tiers (e.g., monthly, annual, lifetime) are displayed in the App at the point of purchase.
4.2 Billing
All in-app purchases are processed by Apple through your Apple ID. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. We do not process or store your payment information.
4.3 Auto-Renewal
Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period at the then-current subscription price.
You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal at any time in your iOS device’s Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions, or via the App Store.
4.4 Right of Withdrawal (EU Consumers)
If you are a consumer residing in the European Union, you have a statutory right to withdraw from a contract for digital content within 14 days of purchase without giving any reason.
However, by purchasing and beginning to use a Pro subscription, you expressly consent to immediate performance of the contract and acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal once we have begun providing the digital content (§ 356 (5) BGB).
For refund requests, please contact Apple directly via https://reportaproblem.apple.com — we do not have the ability to issue refunds for App Store purchases.
4.5 Free Trials
Where offered, free trials automatically convert to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period unless canceled at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Cancel via your iOS device’s Subscriptions settings.
4.6 Price Changes
We may change subscription prices from time to time. Price increases for existing subscribers will be communicated in advance in accordance with Apple’s policies and applicable law, and you will have the opportunity to cancel before the new price takes effect.
5. Compatibility and Device Support
The App is designed to be compatible with a wide range of consumer electronics, but we cannot guarantee compatibility with every brand, model, or firmware version. The list of supported devices is updated periodically. Compatibility may depend on:
- Your iOS device model and operating system version
- Your local network configuration
- The target device’s firmware and network capabilities
- Whether the target device supports the required control protocols (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, IR via compatible bridges)
We make no guarantee that any specific device you own will be controllable through the App.
6. Your Responsibilities
You are responsible for:
- Ensuring your iOS device, network, and target devices are properly configured
- Obtaining any third-party hardware required (e.g., IR bridges) at your own expense
- Using the App only on devices you own or are authorized to control
- Complying with all applicable laws and the terms of service of any third-party devices or services you interact with via the App
7. Disclaimer of Warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the App is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
We do not warrant that:
- The App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components
- The App will be compatible with all devices or networks
- Defects in the App will be corrected
- The App will meet your specific requirements
This disclaimer does not affect mandatory consumer rights under German or EU law, including statutory warranty rights for paid digital content (§§ 327 ff. BGB).
8. Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by law:
a) We are liable without limitation for damages caused by intent or gross negligence, for damages arising from injury to life, body, or health, and under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz).
b) For damages caused by slight negligence, we are liable only for the breach of a material contractual obligation (i.e., an obligation whose fulfillment makes the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and on whose compliance the user regularly relies). In such cases, liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract.
c) Any further liability — in particular for indirect damages, loss of profit, loss of data, or damage to devices controlled via the App — is excluded.
d) Statutory liability under the GDPR remains unaffected.
9. Intellectual Property
All intellectual property rights in the App, including source code, design, graphics, text, and trademarks (other than third-party trademarks referenced for interoperability), are owned by Trusted Brands UG or its licensors and are protected by German and international copyright law (§§ 69a ff. UrhG) and other intellectual property laws.
Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual property rights to you.
10. Third-Party Trademarks
Brand names referenced in the App (e.g., Samsung, LG, Sony, Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, Chromecast) are trademarks of their respective owners. Their use in the App is purely descriptive and for interoperability purposes. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of these third parties.
11. Apple-Specific Terms
You acknowledge that these Terms are concluded between you and Trusted Brands UG only, and not with Apple Inc. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. To the extent these Terms differ from Apple’s standard end-user license agreement for App Store apps, the more restrictive terms of these Terms shall prevail for matters between you and us, except where the Apple EULA grants you greater rights, in which case those greater rights apply.
You acknowledge that:
- Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App
- In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any). Apple has no other warranty obligation.
- Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App or your use of it, including product liability claims, consumer protection claims, or claims under intellectual property law
- Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and have the right to enforce them against you
12. Termination
You may stop using the App and delete it from your device at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the App if you materially breach these Terms, with notice where reasonable and practicable.
Termination does not entitle you to a refund of any unused portion of a subscription, except where required by mandatory law.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 7, 8, 9, and 14) will survive.
13. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated Terms will be made available within the App or on our website, and the “Last Updated” date will reflect the change. Material changes will be communicated through an App update notice. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
If you are a consumer with habitual residence in another EU member state, you additionally benefit from any mandatory consumer protection provisions of the law of that state.
The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with these Terms is — to the extent legally permissible — Löhne, Germany. Mandatory statutory provisions on jurisdiction for consumers remain unaffected.
Online Dispute Resolution
The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR), available at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
We are not obliged and not willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (Verbraucherschlichtungsstelle).
15. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that most closely reflects the original economic intent of the parties.
