You must be the age of majority in your jurisdiction to create an account or make a purchase.

2. License to use the Service

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for personal, non-commercial, educational purposes (or for classroom use where a school plan applies), subject to these Terms and any store terms (Apple App Store, Google Play).

All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

5. Purchases and subscriptions

[If you sell anything: describe purchases, subscriptions, auto-renewal, and that billing, refunds, and cancellations are handled by Apple or Google under their terms. If the app is free, state that.]
