Fairsies Licence Terms

1. This agreement

These terms form an agreement between you and Mirentha Ltd, a company incorporated in England and Wales (company number 17207914), registered office 71–75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ (“we”, “us”). They govern your use of the Fairsies iPhone application and any updates to it (the “App”). By downloading or using the App you accept these terms; if you do not accept them, do not use the App.

This agreement is between you and us alone, not with Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the App and its content.

2. Your licence

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the App on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules set out in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. The licence is for your own use, personal or business; it is a licence of the software rather than a sale of it, and we keep all rights we do not expressly grant.

3. The free scans, and subscribing

Your first five scans are free. Five bills, not five days: the free part is counted by use, so it cannot run out while you are not using the App. Only scanning is counted — typing a total in yourself is free and unlimited, before and after the five.

After that, scanning receipts is a subscription, in two plans that give exactly the same thing: Fairsies, yearly at £14.99, renewing every year, and Fairsies, monthly at £1.99, renewing every month.

The price is shown to you before you confirm, and the price applying in your country and currency is the one the App Store displays. Typing a total and splitting it is free forever, with or without a subscription — the subscription buys the scanner, not the App.

One of the five is used when a scanned bill is read successfully. Typing a total in yourself never uses one, at any point, subscribed or not. Photographing the same bill again, adding a further page to it, and correcting any figure on it are all free and never count a second time; a scan the App cannot read is not counted at all.

Scanning depends on Apple Intelligence, which Apple provides, meters and may change. Apple allows each person a daily amount of Private Cloud Compute, shared across every app that uses it and counted against their own Apple Account; we are not charged for it and never charge you per scan, but we cannot guarantee an amount of scanning, because that part is not ours to give. Subscribing removes our limit on scans, not Apple's limit on Apple Intelligence. Typing a total is unaffected and needs no connection.

Apple sells the subscription and takes the payment. Your Apple Account is charged when you confirm, and again for each new period until you cancel. Apple charges each renewal within the 24 hours before the current period ends.

Cancelling. Cancel at any time in Settings › your name › Subscriptions on your iPhone, or from Manage subscription inside the App. To avoid being charged for the next period, cancel at least 24 hours before it begins. Cancelling stops the renewal; it does not shorten the period you have already paid for, and scanning keeps working until that period ends. We cannot cancel for you, because the subscription is held by Apple rather than by us — and for the same reason there is no account to close and nothing of yours for us to delete.

Switching between the yearly and monthly plans takes effect at your next renewal rather than immediately, because the two give the same thing at different rhythms. The subscription is recorded by Apple against your Apple Account rather than against the phone, so on a new or reset iPhone, Restore purchase in the App brings it back at no further charge.

Refunds are requested from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com; we cannot issue one ourselves. The purchase itself is governed by the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, which set out your cancellation rights in relation to digital content supplied immediately. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights, including your right to a repair, replacement or refund if the App is faulty, not as described, or not fit for purpose.

The App keeps nothing of yours that any of this could put at risk: a bill exists only while the App is open. Without a subscription the App opens as normal, and starting a new scan once the free five are used raises the subscription screen; typing a total never does, and a bill already on the table can always be finished. If a subscription lapses, nothing is lost and nothing is locked away — there is no history to lock — and typing a total goes on working exactly as before.

4. What you may not do

You may not copy, redistribute, rent, lease, sell or sublicense the App; modify it or create derivative works from it; reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble it except to the extent the law expressly permits despite this restriction; remove any proprietary notices; or use it in breach of any applicable law or export control. You must also comply with any applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App.

5. Accuracy, and what the App is not

The App reads a photograph of a printed receipt with Apple Intelligence, which must be switched on for scanning to work, and which reads the receipt on Apple's Private Cloud Compute — so scanning needs an internet connection. Receipts are creased, faded, badly printed and inconsistent, and no reader is perfect. Every figure the App produces is shown to you and can be corrected before you act on it, and the App tells you when the lines it read do not agree with the printed total.

The App is a convenience for arithmetic between people who have agreed to split a bill. It is not accounting, tax, or financial advice, it does not process payments, and it takes no part in whether anyone actually pays. Check the numbers before money changes hands.

6. Privacy

The App collects no personal data and sends nothing to us. How a receipt is read, including when it goes to Apple's Private Cloud Compute and on what terms, what the App keeps on your phone, the permissions it asks for, and its connections to Apple are set out in the Fairsies privacy policy, which forms part of these terms.

7. Warranties

The App is provided “as is”. To the fullest extent permitted by law we exclude all implied warranties, including those of satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, and we do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any receipt will be read correctly.

If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any, for the App. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation in respect of the App, and any other claim arising from a failure to conform to a warranty is our responsibility.

8. Liability

Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited. Your statutory rights as a consumer are unaffected.

Subject to that, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue or data, arising from your use of the App; and our total liability arising out of or in connection with the App is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for it and £50.

9. Support and maintenance

We are solely responsible for support of the App; Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support services. Support is offered through the form on the Fairsies support page, or by email at [email protected].

10. Third-party claims and Apple

We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the App, including product liability claims, any claim that the App fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy or similar legislation. We are also responsible for investigating, defending, settling and discharging any claim that the App infringes a third party's intellectual property rights.

You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this agreement, and on your acceptance of it Apple has the right to enforce it against you as a third-party beneficiary.

11. Term and termination

This licence runs until terminated. It ends automatically if you breach these terms, and you may end it at any time by deleting the App. Deleting the App neither cancels the subscription nor refunds it; both are Apple's, as set out in section 3. Sections 5, 7, 8, 10 and 12 survive termination.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the UK, you may also bring proceedings in your own jurisdiction. If you are a consumer resident outside the UK, nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of any mandatory law of your country of residence, or of your right to bring proceedings in the courts of that country.
