Glimpy — Terms of Use

These terms govern your use of the Glimpy iPhone app, published by Spacer GIF, a division of S&C Holding GmbH, Halbgasse 1a, 1070 Vienna, Austria. They apply in addition to Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement, which applies to every app bought through the App Store. Where the two differ on a point Apple's agreement governs, Apple's agreement prevails.

1. What Glimpy is

Glimpy poses arithmetic problems and checks the answers a child types in. It is a practice aid for children of roughly five to nine, in the spirit of the handheld arithmetic trainers of the 1970s and 80s.

It is not a curriculum, a tutor, a diagnostic instrument or an assessment. The levels are graded by the numbers they use and are mapped to school years only as a rough guide; curricula differ between countries and schools. Nothing Glimpy displays should be treated as an evaluation of a child's ability.

2. Licence

You get a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use Glimpy on the Apple devices you own or control, for private, non-commercial purposes, in line with the App Store terms and Apple's Family Sharing rules. You may not copy, sell, rent, sub-license, reverse-engineer or modify the app, except where the law expressly permits it regardless of agreement.

Using Glimpy in a school, a practice or any other professional or commercial setting requires our prior written agreement. Write to us — we are not difficult about it.

3. Free use and purchases

The first 100 problems are free. After that the app must be unlocked to continue. Unlocking is a one-time purchase; each additional child profile is a further, separate one-time purchase, up to six children in total.

There is no subscription. Nothing renews, nothing is charged again, and nothing expires. The prices shown in the app come from the App Store in your own currency; the price you see before confirming is the price you pay.

All purchases are made from Apple through the App Store. Apple is the seller and handles the payment; we are not party to that transaction and receive no payment data. Purchases are tied to the Apple Account that made them and can be restored on another device with "Restore Purchases". They are shared with the Family Sharing group of that Apple Account.

A purchase must be made or authorised by an adult — the holder of the Apple Account, or a parent or guardian through Ask to Buy.

4. Refunds

Because Apple is the seller, refunds are requested from Apple, not from us, at reportaproblem.apple.com. We cannot issue a refund ourselves and have no influence over Apple's decision. Your statutory consumer rights, including any right of withdrawal you have under EU law, remain unaffected and are exercised through Apple as the seller.

5. Your data

Glimpy collects nothing and sends nothing. Everything it stores — profiles, progress, practice statistics — stays on your device and is deleted with the app. Deleting the app therefore also deletes the practice history; a purchase is unaffected and can be restored. See the Privacy Policy for the detail.

6. Availability and changes

We may change, add to or remove features in future versions, and Glimpy may require a current version of iOS. We do not promise that the app will be offered indefinitely. If it is ever withdrawn from sale, versions already purchased keep working on the devices they are installed on for as long as the operating system supports them.

7. Liability

Glimpy is provided with the care you would expect of a product sold for money, but no software is free of faults and we do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or error-free.

We are liable without limit for damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and wherever mandatory law imposes liability regardless of fault. For slight negligence we are liable only for breach of an obligation essential to the purpose of the contract, and then only for the damage typically foreseeable for a product of this kind and price. Nothing in these terms limits rights that consumers have by law and that cannot be limited by agreement.

8. Governing law and jurisdiction

Austrian law applies, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer resident in the EU, this choice does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory law of your own country, and you may bring proceedings in the courts there. For customers who are not consumers, the place of jurisdiction is Vienna, Austria.

The European Commission provides an online dispute resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are not obliged, and not willing, to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
