2. Acceptance and Eligibility

2.1 You represent and warrant that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement. The Application is not directed at, and may not be used by, persons under the age of eighteen.

2.2 The Application is intended solely for use by individuals who have been prescribed an injectable medication by a duly licensed healthcare practitioner, for the purpose of recording their own use of that medication. The Application is not intended to facilitate, and must not be used in connection with, the use of research compounds, compounded products obtained outside a lawful prescription, or any medicine that has not been prescribed to you.

2.3 You represent that you are not located in a country that is subject to a United States Government embargo or that has been designated by the United States Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any United States Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

3.2 The Application is licensed, not sold, to you. All rights not expressly granted to you under these Terms are reserved by the Developer.

4. Medical Disclaimer

4.1 THE APPLICATION IS A PERSONAL RECORD-KEEPING TOOL. IT IS NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE, DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS OR TREATMENT, AND IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE PROFESSIONAL JUDGEMENT OF A LICENSED HEALTHCARE PRACTITIONER.

4.2 No clinician-patient, pharmacist-patient or other professional relationship is created between you and the Developer by your use of the Application.

4.3 The Application does not recommend, calculate or suggest any dose, dose adjustment, dosing schedule or course of action in respect of a missed or delayed dose. All decisions concerning your medication, including whether and when to administer any dose, are to be made solely by you in consultation with your prescribing practitioner.

4.4 Dose escalation schedules, elimination half-lives, storage guidance and missed-dose information displayed in the Application are reproduced from publicly available patient information leaflets issued by the relevant manufacturers, are provided for general reference only, may differ between jurisdictions and may not reflect the current leaflet or your individual prescription. You must rely on the leaflet supplied with your medicine and on the instructions of your prescriber.

4.5 The Medicine Level is a simplified pharmacokinetic estimate calculated by applying a published population elimination half-life to the doses you record. It assumes instantaneous absorption, does not account for inter-individual variability, and is not a measurement of any substance in your body. It must not be relied upon for any clinical purpose.

4.6 Reminders are delivered by your device’s local notification system and are dependent upon your device settings and battery and power management. The Developer does not guarantee that any reminder will be delivered or delivered on time.

4.7 If you experience a medical emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately. If you have any concern regarding your health or medication, consult your prescriber or pharmacist. Never disregard or delay seeking professional medical advice because of anything displayed in the Application.

5. User Data

5.1 User Data is stored exclusively in the private storage area of the Application on your device. The Developer does not operate any server that receives, stores or processes User Data, does not provide user accounts, and has no ability to access, recover or restore User Data.

5.2 You are solely responsible for the accuracy of the information you enter and for safeguarding User Data, including by creating and retaining backup files using the export functionality provided in the Application. Deletion of the Application, loss of or damage to your device, replacement of your device without restoration, or use of the erase function within the Application will result in the permanent loss of User Data.

5.3 You retain all rights in and to your User Data. Because User Data is not transmitted to the Developer, you grant the Developer no licence in respect of it.

6. Pinny Plus: Subscriptions and Purchases

6.1 Certain features of the Application are available only to users of Pinny Plus. Pinny Plus is offered by way of (a) a monthly Subscription, (b) an annual Subscription, and (c) a Lifetime Purchase, in each case sold and billed by Apple through the App Store using the payment method associated with your Apple ID. Prices, inclusive of applicable taxes where required, are displayed in the App Store in your local currency prior to purchase.

6.2 Where an introductory free trial is offered, Pinny Plus is provided without charge for the stated trial period. Unless you cancel at least twenty-four (24) hours before the end of the trial period, the Subscription will commence automatically at the end of the trial and the applicable fee will be charged to your Apple ID.

6.3 Subscriptions renew automatically for successive periods of the same duration, at the then-current price, unless cancelled at least twenty-four (24) hours before the end of the current period. Payment for renewal is charged to your Apple ID within twenty-four (24) hours prior to the end of the current period.

6.4 Subscriptions are managed, and may be cancelled, only through the Subscriptions section of your Apple ID account settings on your device. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; no pro-rata refund is provided for the unexpired portion of a period. Deleting the Application does not cancel a Subscription.

6.5 All payments are processed by Apple and are subject to the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. Any request for a refund must be directed to Apple in accordance with Apple’s refund policies. The Developer does not process payments and cannot issue refunds.

6.6 A Lifetime Purchase confers a licence to Pinny Plus for so long as the Application remains available for distribution on the App Store. The Developer reserves the right to modify, add to or discontinue individual Pinny Plus features from time to time, provided that the core features designated in the Application as free (the shot log, injection site map, reminders and weight tracking) shall remain available without charge.

6.7 Any change to the price of a Subscription will be notified to you in accordance with Apple’s procedures, and will not take effect until the commencement of the next billing period following such notice.
