Stricksy Terms of Use

Last updated: 12 October 2026

This English version is provided for information. The German version is the binding one.

1. Provider and scope

Stricksy is an iPhone app by Simon Gneuß, Birkenweg 6, 09569 Oederan, Germany, info@simongneuss.com ("we"). These terms apply to any use of the app. When you get the app from the App Store, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies as well. How Stricksy handles your data is described in the privacy policy.

2. What Stricksy does

• Stricksy is free. The app counts rows and rounds, works out repeats, decreases and increases, the stitch count and right and wrong side rows from them, and stores your projects and pattern texts on your iPhone.
• We run no server and have no access to your data.
• Features that rely on Apple services (Apple Intelligence, Live Activities, controls, the Action Button) are only available as far as Apple offers them on your device.
• Text recognition, counters created from a pattern and the answers in the chat are generated automatically and can contain mistakes. Check them against your pattern before you rely on them. The pattern itself always prevails.
• There is no entitlement to particular features or to constant availability. We may develop, change or discontinue the app.

3. Your patterns

Only import patterns you lawfully own, for example ones you bought or that are freely available. The rights to a pattern belong to its designer. Stricksy keeps the text only for you on your iPhone and does not publish it.

4. Your data and backing it up

• Your data lives on your iPhone, not with us. We can neither see it nor back it up or restore it for you.
• You are responsible for backing up your data. Back up your iPhone regularly (iCloud Backup or a computer).
• Deleted projects can only be recovered from a backup of your own. Deleting the app deletes all projects and pattern texts.

5. Liability

1. We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act and for defects we fraudulently concealed.
2. For a slightly negligent breach of an essential duty, meaning a duty whose fulfilment makes proper use of the app possible in the first place and on which you may regularly rely, our liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this kind of app. Otherwise we are not liable for slight negligence.
3. Except in the cases of paragraph 1, our liability for loss of data is limited to the damage that would also have occurred had you backed up regularly as described in section 4, that is, the effort of restoring the data from such a backup.
4. For outages or errors in third-party services, in particular Apple Intelligence and YouTube, we are only liable where we are responsible for them.

6. Changes

We may change these terms, for example when the app or the law changes. We publish the new version with a new date at this address.

7. Final provisions

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer protection rules of the country where you have your habitual residence remain unaffected. If a provision is invalid, the others remain valid.
