Terms and conditions

1. Scope

These terms govern the contractual relationship between the provider and consumers who access or use the service.

The service consists of editorial content about third-party software: written reviews, comparisons and shortlists, delivered on a subscription basis through a browser. The provider does not host, sell or distribute the applications it writes about.

These terms apply exclusively. Any differing terms proposed by the user do not apply unless agreed in writing.

2. Eligibility and use

You must be 18 or over and able to enter into a binding contract to take out a membership.

The service is for personal, non-commercial use only.

Misuse of the service, including attempts to disrupt, manipulate or circumvent billing or access, is prohibited.

3. Formation of the contract

The presentation of content on this website is not a legally binding offer but an invitation to make one.

A contract is formed when you complete sign-up and authorise the recurring charge, at which point you accept these terms and the stated price.

Access is granted immediately after successful confirmation, including during the free trial.

4. Third-party applications and trademarks

The service describes applications published by third parties. All application names, icons, screenshots, descriptions and trademarks are the property of their respective owners.

The provider is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any of those owners, and no endorsement is implied by inclusion in the guide.

Links point to official store listings. The provider does not host installers and is not responsible for the content, pricing, availability or data practices of third-party applications.

Rights holders who wish an entry corrected or removed may write to contact@protopapps.com.

5. Price, billing and renewal

The price and the billing period are displayed in full on the sign-up page before you confirm.

The charge is taken from the payment method you provided and renews automatically each month until cancelled.

If a payment fails, access may be suspended temporarily until payment is successfully processed.

Taxes may apply depending on your state and are shown before you confirm.

6. Cancellation

You may cancel at any time from your account on the website or by emailing contact@protopapps.com from the address on your account.

Cancelling a paid period takes effect at the end of that period. Except where required by law, no partial refunds are given for unused time.

Nothing in this clause limits rights you may have under state automatic renewal laws.

7. Rights of use

The provider grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable right to access and use the service for the term of the contract.

All intellectual property rights remain with the provider or its licensors. Titles, artwork and trademarks belong to their respective owners.

8. Availability and changes

The provider aims for reasonable availability but does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.

Parts of the service may be changed, updated or discontinued for technical, legal or commercial reasons, and the catalogue may change as a result.

Compatibility with every device or operating system cannot be guaranteed.

9. Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Subject to that, the service is provided on an as-is and as-available basis, and liability for indirect, incidental or consequential loss, including loss of data or profit, is excluded so far as the law allows.

10. Privacy

Personal data is processed in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

Details of the processing, its purposes and your rights are set out in the separate privacy policy, which forms part of these terms.

11. Termination

Either party may terminate for good cause where continuing the contract cannot reasonably be expected.

Termination does not affect payment obligations already accrued.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

Mandatory consumer protection law of your state of residence is unaffected.

13. Final provisions

If any provision is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in full force.

The provider may update these terms from time to time. The current version is always available on this page.
