Terms of Service — Sowa Reminder
Last updated: [25.9.2026]
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Sowa Reminder (the "App"), developed and operated by techthinley ("we," "us," or "our"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
1. Description of the App
Sowa Reminder is a personal medicine-reminder and tracking tool covering both Tibetan (Sowa Rigpa) and allopathic medicine. It helps you record medicine schedules, receive reminders, track stock, and review your dose history. All medicine data you enter is stored locally on your device — see our Privacy Policy for details.
2. Not Medical Advice
Sowa Reminder is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The App is an organizational tool only. Nothing in the App should be interpreted as a recommendation regarding what medicine to take, in what dose, or on what schedule. Always follow the instructions given to you by a qualified physician, Tibetan medicine practitioner (amchi), or pharmacist, and consult them before starting, stopping, or changing any medication.
We are not responsible for any health outcome, missed dose, incorrect dose, adverse reaction, or other consequence arising from your use of, or reliance on, the App. Reminders are provided as a convenience only and may be delayed, fail to fire, or be affected by your device's settings, battery optimization, notification permissions, or operating system behavior — you remain solely responsible for managing your own medication.
3. Eligibility
The App is intended for use by adults capable of managing their own (or a dependent's, such as a child's, under appropriate supervision) medication schedule. The App is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly allow children to use the App independently.
4. Your Account and Data
Sowa Reminder does not require account creation. All medicine data, schedules, and logs are stored locally on your device. You are responsible for:
- Keeping your device secure (passcode/biometric lock) since anyone with access to your unlocked device can view your medicine data.
- Any data loss resulting from uninstalling the App, device loss, device reset, or similar events not caused by us. We recommend using your device's own backup features if you want to preserve your data outside the App.
5. Premium Subscription / Purchase
The App offers a free tier with limited functionality (a cap on the number of tracked medicines, limited history, and advertisements) and a premium tier unlocking unlimited medicines, full history, and an ad-free experience.
- Premium is purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, and is subject to their respective payment terms, billing, and refund policies. We do not process payments directly and cannot issue refunds ourselves — refund requests must go through Apple or Google.
- Purchase and entitlement status is managed via RevenueCat. See our Privacy Policy for details.
- If premium is offered as a one-time (lifetime) purchase, it is tied to your Apple ID / Google account and can be restored via the "Restore Purchases" option in the App if you reinstall or switch devices. It is your responsibility to use the same account and to restore your purchase after reinstalling; we are not responsible for lost entitlements resulting from using a different account.
- Prices are subject to change; existing purchases are not affected by future price changes.
6. Advertisements
The free tier of the App displays advertisements served by Google AdMob. We do not control the content of individual ads. Interacting with third-party ads is at your own discretion and risk; we are not responsible for the content, products, or services advertised by third parties.
7. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use the App for any unlawful purpose.
- Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or otherwise extract the source code of the App, except as permitted by applicable law.
- Interfere with or disrupt the App's operation, including attempting to bypass free-tier limits through unauthorized means.
8. Intellectual Property
The App, including its design, text, graphics, icons, and underlying code, is owned by techthinley and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the App for your personal, non-commercial use. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
9. Disclaimer of Warranties
The App is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that reminders will fire reliably under all device conditions.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, techthinley and its developer(s) shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, health outcome, or other harm arising from or related to your use of, or inability to use, the App — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability for any claim arising from these Terms or the App shall not exceed the amount you paid us, if any, in the twelve months preceding the claim.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
11. Changes to the App and Terms
We may update, modify, or discontinue the App (or any feature of it) at any time. We may also revise these Terms from time to time; the "Last updated" date above will reflect the most recent changes. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
12. Termination
We reserve the right to suspend or discontinue the App, or your access to it, at any time, for any reason, including violation of these Terms. Since the App does not require an account, "termination" primarily means the App or specific features may become unavailable; your locally stored data remains on your device unless you delete it yourself.
13. Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by the laws of India, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles, unless otherwise required by the laws of your jurisdiction as a consumer.
