Terms of Use

These terms describe what ExpiryNotifier does, what it expects from you, and what it does not promise. They are written to be read rather than skimmed past.

What these terms cover

ExpiryNotifier is a mobile app for keeping track of things before they expire. You add items, set a reminder, and the app tells you what is coming up. These terms apply to using the app and this website.

The app is free to use. There are no purchases, subscriptions, or paid tiers in it, so these terms say nothing about payment. If that ever changes, these terms change with it and you would be told before it applied to you.

1. Acceptable use

Use the app for what it is for. Specifically, please do not:

  • try to reach another person's account, data, or files
  • attempt to get around the checks that keep accounts separate, or the checks that confirm requests come from a genuine installation of the app
  • automate, script, or flood the app or the services behind it, or use it in a way designed to degrade them for other people
  • upload content that is unlawful, that infringes someone else's rights, or that you do not have permission to upload
  • take apart, modify, or redistribute the app in order to bypass its restrictions, or present a modified version as the original
  • use the app to store material that it is illegal for you to possess

Reasonable use is the standard. Nothing here is aimed at ordinary use, including using the app heavily.

2. What the app is not

ExpiryNotifier organises dates you enter. It does not give advice of any kind.

Nothing in the app is medical, pharmaceutical, legal, food safety, or other professional advice. It does not tell you whether something is safe to use, eat, take, or rely on. It does not check whether a date you entered is correct, and it knows nothing about the item beyond what you typed.

Decisions about medicine, food, or anything else where safety matters should be based on the product itself, its packaging and instructions, and the guidance of someone qualified. Treat a reminder as a prompt to go and look, not as a verdict.

The app also does not verify documents. Tracking a passport, warranty, or insurance renewal date is a convenience, not confirmation that a document is valid or that a renewal has happened.

3. Reminders depend on your device

Reminders are scheduled by your device, not sent from a server, so whether one arrives is ultimately up to your device.

Several ordinary things stop a reminder appearing: notifications switched off for the app, a disabled notification channel on Android, battery optimisation delaying scheduled work, exact alarm access not granted on Android 12 and later, the device being switched off at the time, or the operating system deciding to defer background work. Restoring a device from a backup, or moving to a new one, does not carry scheduled reminders across; signing in on a device rebuilds the upcoming ones.

The app does what it can about this. It checks whether a reminder could actually be scheduled and tells you when it could not, rather than letting you assume it worked. But it cannot promise that any particular reminder will appear at any particular moment, and you should not rely on it as the only safeguard for anything that matters.

Troubleshooting steps for missed reminders are on the support page.

4. Your data and your files

What you put in is yours, and so is responsibility for it being right.

The app stores the dates and details you enter. It does not correct them, check them against the product, or warn you that a date looks wrong. If an expiry date is entered incorrectly, every reminder and report built from it will be wrong in the same way.

You are responsible for having the right to upload the photos you attach, and for what those photos contain.

Exported reports become ordinary files on your device the moment they are created. Where they go next is entirely your choice. If you share one, the service you send it to governs what happens to it afterwards, and a report can contain the full list of what you track. The app does not upload exports, back them up, or sync them between devices, so keeping a copy of anything you want to keep is up to you. See how reports and exports work.

5. Your account and ending it

Keeping access

You are responsible for your sign in details and for anything done through your account. Use a password you have not used elsewhere, and keep your device locked. Nobody representing ExpiryNotifier will ever ask you for your password.

A guest account exists only on the installation that created it. Nothing identifies it, so if the app is removed or the device is reset, that account and its contents cannot be recovered by anyone. Adding an email and password from Settings converts the account you already have, keeping everything in it, and is the only way to make it recoverable.

Ending it yourself

You can stop using the app at any time, and delete your account and its data permanently from Settings. Deletion is immediate and cannot be undone. Full deletion instructions, including how to request it if the app is no longer installed.

Suspension or removal

Access may be suspended or removed where it is necessary to comply with the law, to respond to a valid legal request, or to stop activity that breaks the acceptable use section above, such as an attempt to reach another person's data or to overload the service. Where it is possible and lawful to do so, you would be told why.

6. App store terms

If you installed the app from an app store, that store's own terms apply to the installation alongside these terms. Refunds, billing, and account matters that belong to the store are handled by the store, not here. Where a store's rules conflict with these terms for something the store controls, the store's rules apply to that.

The store also has its own privacy and data handling terms covering your relationship with it. Those are separate from how this app handles your data.

7. Availability and changes

The app depends on services that can be unavailable from time to time, and on your own connection. Generating a report needs a connection, for example, while opening one you already exported does not.

Features may be added, changed, or removed. Where a change affects what these terms or the privacy policy say, both are updated in the same change and the review date moves with them.

This section is not written, and writing it without the necessary facts would be worse than leaving it blank.

Governing law, how disputes are handled, warranty and liability terms, consumer rights that cannot be signed away, and the minimum age for using the service all depend on who offers the service and where. Neither is recorded yet, so this document makes no claim about any of them. In particular, it does not disclaim warranties, limit liability, or specify a court or arbitration forum, because doing so without knowing the applicable law would be meaningless at best.

Once the operating entity and jurisdiction are confirmed, this section must be drafted and reviewed by someone qualified in that jurisdiction before these terms are presented as binding.

9. Contact and effective date
