Barriers
Terms of Use
By downloading or using Barriers ("the app") you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app.
Barriers is a product of IV Technologies Ltd, a company registered in England & Wales (company no. 17316561). In these terms, "we", "us", "our", and "the developer" mean IV Technologies Ltd. You can reach us at support@ivtechnologies.uk.
1. The app
Barriers is a personal productivity and money‑tracking app for iPhone, with a companion macOS app that syncs through your iCloud account and an optional online account for family task‑sharing. The app and any online service are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties or conditions of any kind, express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non‑infringement.
2. Not financial advice
Figures you enter are for your own reference only. Barriers does not provide financial, tax, accounting, legal or investment advice and is not responsible for any decision you make using it. Currency conversions use third‑party reference rates and may be inaccurate, delayed, or unavailable.
3. Your data & backups
You are solely responsible for your content and for keeping your own backups (Settings → Data → Export). We do not guarantee that any data — whether on your device, in iCloud, or on the online backend — will be preserved, error‑free, or recoverable, and we are not liable for any loss, corruption, or unavailability of data. Uninstalling the app deletes its on‑device data.
4. Online accounts & family sharing
The online account is optional. If you use it: you are responsible for the confidentiality of your sign‑in and invite codes and for all activity under your account; content you create or are assigned is visible to members of your family; you are responsible for whom you invite and for the content you share; and you must not upload unlawful, infringing, or harmful content. We may suspend or remove accounts, families, or content we reasonably believe breach these terms, without liability.
5. Service availability
Online features rely on third‑party infrastructure (including Supabase and Apple, Google, and Amazon services) and internet connectivity. We do not warrant that any online feature will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error‑free, and we may modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature at any time without liability.
6. Purchases
The app is free; Finance and Receipts require a one‑time in‑app purchase. Purchases are processed by Apple and governed by Apple's terms. Restoring re‑applies a purchase on your devices. Refunds are handled by Apple.
7. Acceptable use
Use the app lawfully and for personal purposes. Do not attempt to tamper with, reverse‑engineer, overload, or abuse the app, its purchases, or its online backend, or use it to store or share content you have no right to.
8. Third-party services
The app integrates services provided by Apple, Supabase, Google, and Amazon. Your use of those services is governed by their respective terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the acts, omissions, availability, or data practices of any third party.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the developer shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, revenue, goodwill, or anticipated savings, arising out of or in connection with your use of (or inability to use) the app or any online feature, however caused. The developer's total aggregate liability shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid for the app in the twelve months before the claim, or (b) £5. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
10. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold the developer harmless from any claim, loss, or expense arising from your misuse of the app, your content, or your breach of these terms.
11. Changes
These terms may be updated; the current version governs your use, and continued use after an update means you accept it.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, whose courts have non‑exclusive jurisdiction, without affecting any mandatory consumer‑protection rights you have where you live.
