1. Scope and eligibility
These Terms describe your rights and responsibilities, and ours, when you use Worry Fossil (the “App”) provided by Jinventra and the official website at worryfossil.com. Please read them before using the App or making a purchase. If you disagree, please do not make new purchases, and you may stop using the App. Stopping use does not, by itself, extinguish your existing purchases or rights under applicable law.
You must have the legal capacity required to enter into an agreement where you live. If the law requires consent from a parent or legal guardian, obtain that consent first. An app store’s content age rating does not mean that a minor has the legal capacity to make purchases or enter into an agreement independently.
2. Nature of the App and acceptable use
The App is an offline-first tool for personal writing, sealing away worries, and reflection. It does not provide medical care, diagnosis, treatment, psychological counseling, or crisis intervention, and does not guarantee improvement in any particular symptoms or emotional outcomes. Fossils, worry stars, and other narrative elements are not psychological assessments.
We do not monitor your private writing and cannot use it to detect or respond to emergencies. If you need medical or emergency help, contact local emergency services or a qualified professional. Do not use the App or website to infringe others’ rights, distribute malicious software, or interfere with normal operation.
3. Your content and on-device data
You retain your rights in your own writing. Using the App does not transfer ownership of that content to us or grant us permission to publish it or use it for marketing. Please ensure that you have the right to use any content or fonts you import.
The App does not require an account with us, and private writing is stored primarily on your device. We have no remote journal copy or master decryption key that could restore it for you. A lost or damaged device, uninstalling the App, clearing data, or losing security materials may make content unrecoverable. Protect your device and PIN, and use manual backups as needed. This reminder does not exempt us from liability under applicable law.
4. Manual backups and privacy
You initiate and manage manual backups yourself; they are not automatic cloud backups or synchronization. Backup files are directly readable and have no separate password protection. Store them somewhere you trust. Importing replaces the destination device’s saved journal with the backup and clears existing drafts; it does not merge records. Check what you want to keep before importing.
Deleting data in the App does not delete copies you have exported. Backups do not include purchase entitlements and cannot transfer paid benefits. For details about data handling in the App, on the website, and in support email, see our Privacy Policy.
5. Free features, one-time purchases, and supporting the creator
Basic writing and sealing are free, with no limit on how many entries you can seal. Paid items are purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play. The amount, currency, and taxes are those shown at the store’s checkout. We do not currently offer subscriptions; a one-time purchase does not result in automatic recurring charges.
The “Fossil Pack” and “Traveler Pass” are one-time purchases that provide the features described at purchase. The “Traveler Pass Upgrade” is effective only while you also own the Fossil Pack. Artwork options are not a consumable allowance for creating entries, and rerolling does not let you freely choose a particular image. A one-time purchase does not automatically include unpromised future products or guarantee perpetual maintenance or compatibility with all future operating systems.
“Support the Creator” is a voluntary, single contribution that you may purchase repeatedly. It does not unlock features, badges, or permanent benefits, and is not an investment or a right to share in revenue. It is not represented as a charitable or tax-deductible donation.
6. Restoring purchases and refunds
Restorable one-time purchases must be checked on the original purchasing platform using the corresponding store account. Apple and Google purchase entitlements are separate. If you move from Android to iOS or vice versa and want paid features on the other platform, you must purchase them separately. “Support the Creator” does not provide restorable permanent benefits. Restoring purchases does not restore journal content.
You may request a refund through the store where you made the purchase. You may also contact us for help with transaction or feature issues. Refund eligibility and handling are governed by applicable law and store rules. These Terms do not exclude any statutory right to withdraw from a contract, receive a refund, or seek other remedies. Uninstalling the App or clearing your journal is not a refund request.
Once a store confirms a refund or revocation, the corresponding paid entitlements may change. Being offline or delays in store information may delay that change. Such changes will not prevent you from reading existing private content or unlocking the App with an already configured PIN.
7. Software license and intellectual property
Subject to applicable terms, you may use the App for personal purposes on devices permitted by the store’s rules. Rights in the App’s code, brand, illustrations, music, and other materials remain with us or their respective rights holders. Purchasing features does not give you copyright in the materials or the right to resell them separately.
Unless permitted by law or the rights holder, do not copy, sell, or redistribute the App or its materials without authorization. Third-party components and fonts you import remain subject to their respective licenses. For an App obtained through the App Store, the software license is governed by the license agreement specified by the store. If no custom agreement is provided, Apple’s standard End User License Agreement applies. These Terms do not replace that license agreement.
8. Maintenance, changes, and stopping use
We may update the App to fix issues, improve security, or maintain platform compatibility. Changes to stores, operating systems, or devices may affect downloads, purchases, or some features. This does not authorize us to arbitrarily cancel benefits you have purchased. If we make major service changes or stop maintenance, we will, where practicable, give advance notice through the website or App and handle existing purchases and related rights in accordance with applicable law.
You may stop using the App at any time. Export a backup before uninstalling or clearing data if you want to keep your content. Stopping use does not give us rights to your content, and we cannot manage files you keep elsewhere.
9. Reasonable responsibility and statutory protections
We will provide and maintain the App with reasonable care, but cannot guarantee that every device and environment will be free from errors, interruptions, or data risks. Stores, operating systems, and external file services you choose are operated by their respective providers. We will still provide assistance for matters for which we are responsible.
Each party’s liability is determined by applicable law. These Terms do not exclude or limit liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for intentional misconduct or gross negligence, or statutory consumer protections. They do not require you to waive any legal right to make a complaint or bring a claim in court.
10. Changes to these Terms and contact information
When these Terms change, we will publish the revised version and its effective date. For material changes affecting your rights, we will give appropriate advance notice and obtain separate consent where legally required. A revised version will not retroactively deprive you of existing purchase rights. Changing the website text alone does not mean you have agreed to every new obligation.
For questions about use, purchases, or these Terms, email support@worryfossil.com. Include the information needed to explain the issue, but avoid sending full private writings, PINs, passwords, or complete backups. You may contact this address to try to resolve a dispute, but prior discussions with us are not a condition for exercising your statutory remedies.
