i. What Zapfä provides
Zapfä is a personal wine cellar management app. It helps you track the bottles you own, log the ones you drink, rate vintages, and (in time) get AI-assisted suggestions about which bottle to open tonight. At launch the app is free; paid tiers will be introduced later with their own terms (when they ship). Nothing in the free tier becomes paid retroactively.
ii. Account ownership
Your account, your cellar data, and your photos belong to you. We are the custodian, not the owner. You can export everything at any time and you can delete everything at any time (see our Privacy Policy and Delete your account).
iii. Acceptable use
A short list, in plain English:
- Don’t try to scrape, reverse-engineer, or attack the service.
- Don’t upload content that’s illegal, infringing, or that doesn’t belong to you (e.g. someone else’s copyrighted images).
- Don’t use Zapfä to harass, defame, or abuse anyone (the shared cellar feature is for households, not for trolling).
If you do any of the above, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account.
iv. Subscriptions
When paid tiers launch, subscriptions are billed through the Apple App Store (the only distribution channel for the iOS app at launch). All subscription terms — pricing, billing cycles, cancellation, refunds — are governed by Apple’s Standard EULA and the App Store’s terms. You can cancel anytime in iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions. We don’t see your payment details; Apple handles the entire billing relationship.
v. Liability and warranty
Zapfä is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind. We work hard on uptime and data integrity, but we can’t guarantee the service will be uninterrupted or error-free. To the maximum extent allowed by law, our liability is limited to the amount you’ve paid us in the past twelve months (which, on the free tier, is zero).
This doesn’t exclude or limit liability for things that can’t legally be excluded — gross negligence, willful misconduct, death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or fraud.
vi. Termination
You can stop using Zapfä at any time and delete your account from the in-app Settings. We can suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or that pose a risk to other users or the service. If we terminate your account for cause, we’ll tell you why; if you’ve paid for a subscription, we’ll refund the unused pro-rata portion.
vii. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Switzerland, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes that can’t be resolved by writing to support@zapfae.com first go to the courts of Zurich, Switzerland — except that you, as a consumer, may also bring proceedings in the courts of the country where you live. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory consumer rights.
