1. Acceptance
These Terms form an agreement between you and Bang Technology Limited. By using KitchenEdgeVault, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the app. Your use of Apple services is also subject to Apple’s applicable terms.
2. Product purpose and licence
KitchenEdgeVault is a personal kitchen-tool maintenance organiser. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to use the app on compatible Apple devices for lawful purposes.
3. Availability and changes
Features, compatibility and availability may change. We may update, suspend or discontinue portions of the app where reasonably necessary. You are responsible for maintaining compatible hardware, software and backups.
4. Coins and in-app purchases
Optional Coins are consumable digital items used for selected features such as HD comparison exports or monthly PDF reports. Coins are not a subscription, cash, stored value or transferable property. Purchases and refunds are handled by Apple under App Store rules. Except where required by law or Apple policy, consumed digital items are not refundable.
5. Your records and responsibilities
You retain rights in content you add. You must have permission to use any photo, audio or other content you provide. You must not misuse the app, attempt unauthorised access, interfere with operation, reverse engineer except where law permits, or use the service for unlawful or harmful activity.
6. Knife safety and professional advice
The app provides organisational tools, not professional sharpening, safety, culinary or manufacturer advice. Records, reminders and estimates may be incomplete or inaccurate. Always follow tool-manufacturer instructions, safe handling practices and qualified professional guidance. You remain responsible for inspecting, maintaining, storing and using knives safely.
7. Intellectual property
The app, website, design, software, text and trademarks—excluding user content—belong to Bang Technology Limited or its licensors and are protected by law. No rights are granted except those expressly stated.
8. Third-party services
The app may rely on Apple and other providers for distribution, purchases, notifications or technical services. Their terms and privacy practices apply independently. We are not responsible for third-party services outside our control.
9. Disclaimer
To the extent permitted by law, the app is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation, error-free records, specific maintenance results or preservation of data. Nothing in these Terms excludes rights that cannot legally be excluded.
10. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, Bang Technology Limited is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, loss of data, or damage arising from tool use or maintenance decisions. Our total liability for claims relating to the service will not exceed the amount you paid for the relevant service during the preceding 12 months, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
11. Termination
You may stop using the app at any time. We may restrict access for material breach, unlawful use or security risk. Provisions that by nature should survive will remain effective.
12. Governing law and contact
These Terms are governed by applicable law, without depriving consumers of mandatory protections in their home jurisdiction. Contact bangnetgal@bangnetgal.com with questions.
13. Devices and local data
The product is primarily designed for device-local use. You are responsible for protecting device access, maintaining appropriate backups and handling app data before transferring, selling or sharing a device. Removing the app, resetting a device or changing devices may result in loss of records.
14. Exports, backup and restoration
You may create exports or local backups using available product tools. Choosing “Replace” during import can overwrite existing information; choosing “Merge” may create duplicate or conflicting records. Inspect files and retain an original copy before continuing. We do not guarantee permanent availability of third-party apps, file systems or cloud storage.
15. Reminders, estimates and maintenance outcomes
Reminder timing, edge condition, future-check estimates and comparison results are personal organisational aids. They can be affected by record quality, usage frequency, blade material and maintenance technique. They do not guarantee tool safety, sharpness or a particular sharpening outcome.
16. Purchases, Coins and restoration
Coin packs are purchased through Apple StoreKit and are consumable items. Coin balance, prices, territories and feature requirements may change with version or store configuration. Consumable items may not be recoverable through Apple’s restore-purchases mechanism unless the app expressly provides another restoration option. Review the product description and displayed price before purchase.
17. Feedback and product improvement
You may voluntarily provide suggestions or problem reports. Unless separately agreed in writing, we may use general feedback to improve the product without identifying you. This does not transfer ownership of your photographs, audio or maintenance records to us.
18. Events beyond reasonable control
To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for delay or interruption caused by events beyond reasonable control, including network failure, platform outage, natural events, government action or third-party service failure. We will take reasonable steps to restore affected service.
19. Updates, severability and waiver
We may update these Terms for changes in features, law or operations, with reasonable notice of material changes. If one provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue. A delay in enforcing a right is not a waiver of that right.
