This is the agreement that covers your use of BackendStudio (the “App”), published by Tokyo Iceman. By downloading, installing, or using the App you agree to it. If you do not agree, do not install or use the App.
You get a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the App for your own personal or business database work, on devices that you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. The license is granted for as long as you comply with these terms.
You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App; modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works from it; rent, lease, sell, sublicense, or otherwise transfer it; remove any proprietary notices; or use it for any unlawful purpose or in any way that could damage it or interfere with anyone else's use of it.
You keep all rights to the databases, queries, schemas, credentials, and data you work with through the App. We never receive any of it — see the Privacy Policy.
You are solely responsible for holding valid authorization to access every database you connect to, for the security of your credentials, for complying with the data-protection laws that apply to you, and for keeping your own backups. Write, update, and delete operations can irreversibly change production data; review every query before you run it.
When you start the server, the App listens on a port on your Mac and answers requests from anyone who can reach that port, subject to the API key and CORS settings you choose. Deciding who can reach it is your decision.
Pro features are available as an auto-renewing monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one-time Lifetime purchase. Prices are shown in the App before you buy, in your local currency.
Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of that period. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your App Store account settings at any time. A free trial period, if offered, is forfeited when you buy a subscription during the trial. All purchases are processed by Apple; we never see your payment details.
THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR ACCURACY, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the App, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
This agreement is between you and Tokyo Iceman only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services for the App — support requests go to us, at the address at the bottom of this page.
In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are our responsibility.
We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the App or your use of it, including product liability claims, any claim that the App fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
In the event of a third-party claim that the App or your use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of that claim.
You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You also agree to comply with any applicable third-party terms when using the App — for example the terms governing a database service you connect it to.
Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this agreement, and upon your acceptance of it, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary of it.
This agreement is effective until terminated. The license terminates automatically, without notice, if you fail to comply with any provision of it. On termination you must stop using the App and delete all copies. The sections on responsibility, warranty, liability, and Apple's role survive termination.
These terms are governed by the laws of Japan, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, and any dispute arising out of them is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in Tokyo, Japan. Nothing here removes any mandatory statutory right you have as a consumer under the law of your own country of residence.
If these terms change, the date at the top of this page changes with them. Material changes will also be noted in the App's release notes.
