Legal

Terms of Use

Effective date: 28 April 2026 · Version 1.0

These Terms of Use ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you ("you" or "User") and didenko lab, an individual developer registered with the Apple Developer Program (Team ID NBP8PX45D7), established in Portugal ("didenko lab", "we", "us", or "Licensor"), governing your use of the Uni Up mobile application and related websites at uniup.app (together, the "App").

By downloading, installing, or using the App, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not install or use the App.

1. The service

Uni Up is a personal assistant for grocery receipts, shopping lists, reminders and product information, designed for iOS. Features include receipt capture and parsing, on-device OCR, on-device speech recognition, barcode lookup, iCloud synchronisation, shared shopping lists, and optional AI-assisted parsing through a third-party large-language-model provider (see Section 7). Some features require an active Uni Up Pro subscription, as described in Section 4.

2. Eligibility and your account

You must be at least 13 years old to use the App, or older where required by your country of residence. By using the App you confirm that you meet this requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you confirm that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and accepted these Terms on your behalf.

Authentication is handled exclusively through Sign in with Apple. You are responsible for keeping your Apple ID and device passcode secure. We do not maintain separate user accounts on our own servers.

3. Licence and permitted use

Subject to these Terms, didenko lab grants you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to install and use the App on iOS devices that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use, and in accordance with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and the App Store Usage Rules.

You may not (and may not allow any third party to): (a) copy, modify, translate, adapt, or create derivative works of the App; (b) reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law; (c) remove or alter any proprietary notices; (d) rent, lease, sell, sublicence, or otherwise commercially exploit the App; or (e) use the App to develop a competing product.

4. Subscriptions, pricing and renewal

Certain features (the "Pro features") require an auto-renewing subscription processed by Apple through the App Store ("Uni Up Pro"). Pro features currently include AI-assisted voice features (voice-to-shopping-list, voice receipt dictation, voice reminders) and creation of, or sharing into, shared shopping lists. The set of Pro features may change over time; we will not remove a feature you have already paid for during the period you have paid for, except to the extent legally permitted.

Uni Up Pro Monthly — product ID uniup.pro.monthly
EUR 4.99 / month (or local equivalent set by Apple). Includes a 7-day introductory free trial for first-time subscribers.
Uni Up Pro Yearly — product ID uniup.pro.yearly
EUR 39.99 / year (or local equivalent set by Apple). No introductory trial.

Prices shown in the App at the moment of purchase prevail and include applicable VAT where Apple collects it. Apple is the merchant of record. Payment is taken from the payment method linked to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period at the then-current price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can review and cancel your subscription at any time under iOS Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions.

If Apple changes the price of a subscription, Apple will notify you and request your consent before charging the new price, in accordance with App Store rules.

5. Free trial and right of withdrawal

If a free trial is offered, it converts automatically to the corresponding paid subscription at the end of the trial period unless you cancel before the trial ends. Only one trial per Apple ID family group is available.

If you are a consumer in the European Union, the European Economic Area, or the United Kingdom, you have a statutory right of withdrawal of 14 days from the conclusion of the contract for digital content. By starting to use Pro features (including during a trial), you expressly request immediate performance of the digital service and acknowledge that, in accordance with Article 16(m) of EU Directive 2011/83/EU and equivalent UK law, your right of withdrawal will lapse once the digital content is supplied. You may, of course, still cancel further renewals at any time as described above.

6. Refunds

Because Apple is the merchant of record, refund requests for subscription charges must be made to Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. We do not have the technical ability to issue refunds directly, but we are happy to advocate on your behalf if a refund is denied for a reason we can address — please write to hello@uniup.app.

7. AI features and your DeepSeek API key

Several Pro features use a large-language-model provider, DeepSeek (operated by Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Co., Ltd., based in the People's Republic of China). To use these features you must obtain your own API key at platform.deepseek.com and enter it in Settings → DeepSeek API key.

You are the controller of your DeepSeek requests. When AI features are invoked, the App sends content (such as receipt OCR text, voice transcripts, product names, and price-tag text) directly from your device to api.deepseek.com under your DeepSeek account. didenko lab does not proxy, intercept, log, or retain those requests. Your use of DeepSeek is governed by DeepSeek's own terms and privacy policy — please review them.

AI output is best-effort and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated. You must independently verify any AI-generated content before relying on it for purchasing, dietary, financial, or health decisions. didenko lab is not responsible for DeepSeek's pricing, availability, content moderation, or service interruptions.

8. Your content and shared lists

You retain all rights in the content you create with the App (receipts, photos, lists, voice notes, reminders — "User Content"). User Content is stored in your private iCloud container or, when you actively share a list, in an Apple CloudKit shared zone created from your account. didenko lab does not operate a server-side database and does not have administrative access to your iCloud data.

If you invite other Apple users to a shared shopping list using the in-app sharing feature, those users will be able to read and modify the items in that list (including who added or completed each item). You are solely responsible for what you share and with whom. To stop sharing, remove participants or delete the shared list from the App.

You grant didenko lab a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to process your User Content solely as necessary to operate the App on your device (for example, to display, OCR, or sync items you create). We do not claim ownership of, sell, sublicense, or train AI models on your User Content.

9. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the App, including the shared-list and voice-note features, to:

10. Intellectual property

The App, including its source code, compiled binary, design, brand name "Uni Up", logos, marketing copy, screenshots, and documentation, is owned by didenko lab and protected by copyright, trade-mark, and other intellectual-property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual-property right to you, except for the limited licence granted in Section 3.

Open-source components used in the App are governed by their respective licences; a list of acknowledgements is available within the App and on request at hello@uniup.app.

11. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including any implied 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 free of harmful components, or that any defects will be corrected.

The App is not a medical, dietary, financial, accounting, or tax-advice service. Nutritional, ingredient, allergen, and price information shown in the App is informational only and may be incomplete or out of date. Always read the physical product label and consult a qualified professional where appropriate.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, didenko lab will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities, arising out of or related to your use of the App, even if didenko lab has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

didenko lab's total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid to Apple for the App in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) EUR 50.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law (including, in some jurisdictions, liability for death, personal injury, fraud, or gross negligence). Statutory consumer rights remain unaffected.

13. Term and termination

These Terms apply for as long as you use the App. You may terminate at any time by deleting the App from your device and cancelling any active subscription. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms, or if continuing to provide the App becomes commercially or legally impracticable, with reasonable prior notice where feasible. Sections 8 (your ownership of User Content), 10, 11, 12, 16, and 17 survive termination.

14. Changes to the App and to these Terms

We may update the App, including by adding, modifying, or removing features, in order to improve, secure, or comply with legal obligations. We may update these Terms from time to time. If a change materially affects your rights or obligations, we will give you reasonable advance notice (for example, an in-app notice or an update to this page with a new effective date), and your continued use after the change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

15. Apple-specific licence terms

The following provisions apply where you obtained the App from the Apple App Store and are required by Apple's licensed-application end-user-licence terms:

  1. Acknowledgement. These Terms are concluded between you and didenko lab only, and not with Apple Inc. or its subsidiaries ("Apple"). didenko lab, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content.
  2. Scope of licence. The licence granted in Section 3 is limited to a non-transferable licence to use the App on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Usage Rules. The App may be made available on other devices associated with your Apple ID through Family Sharing or volume purchasing, where allowed.
  3. Maintenance and support. didenko lab is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services for the App. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support services.
  4. Warranty. didenko lab is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. 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 of the App (if any) to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be didenko lab's sole responsibility.
  5. Product claims. didenko lab, and not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims you or any third party may have relating to the App or your possession or use of the App, including (i) product-liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer-protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
  6. Intellectual-property rights. In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party's intellectual-property rights, didenko lab, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of any such claim.
  7. Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a US Government embargo, or that has been designated by the US Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (ii) you are not listed on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  8. Developer name and address. Questions, complaints, and claims with respect to the App should be directed to didenko lab at hello@uniup.app.
  9. Third-party terms of agreement. You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App (for example, your wireless carrier's data plan and the third-party AI provider's terms referenced in Section 7).
  10. Apple as third-party beneficiary. You acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that, upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

16. Governing law, consumer rights and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Portugal, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer habitually resident in another country of the European Union, you also benefit from the mandatory consumer-protection provisions of that country's law, in accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 (Rome I).

The competent courts of Porto, Portugal, will have non-exclusive jurisdiction. As an EU consumer, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of your place of residence, and you may use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

17. Contact and notices

Any notice or question about these Terms should be sent to:

didenko lab
Porto, Portugal
Email: hello@uniup.app

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of that right. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them in connection with a transfer of the App.
