Chronaya Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of Chronaya, which is developed and operated by Ahmet Burhan Kayalı under the name ABK Works (“we,” “us,” or “our”).

By downloading, installing, purchasing, or using Chronaya, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. About Chronaya

Chronaya is a local-first application for organizing personal or household deadlines, including subscriptions, free trials, warranties, return periods, documents, insurance, vehicle-related dates, and other time-sensitive records.

Chronaya may allow you to:

• create, edit, archive, restore, and delete records;
• attach supported images and PDF files;
• schedule local reminders;
• track recurring dates;
• record cancellations or avoided payments;
• view estimated savings summaries;
• create and restore local backups;
• use the App’s available features; and
• purchase or restore optional paid features through Google Play or the Apple App Store.

Chronaya is an organization and reminder tool. It is not a bank, insurer, accountant, legal adviser, government service, financial adviser, subscription-cancellation service, or emergency service.

2. Eligibility and License

You must be legally capable of agreeing to these Terms under the laws that apply to you.

If you are not old enough to enter into a binding agreement in your country, you may use Chronaya only with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to install and use Chronaya on devices you own or control, in accordance with applicable law and app-store rules.

Chronaya is licensed, not sold. We retain all rights in the App, including its software, design, branding, text, and other materials.

3. Your Content and Local Storage

“Your Content” includes records, dates, notes, prices, files, attachments, links, and other information you add to Chronaya.

You retain your rights in Your Content. We do not claim ownership of it.

Chronaya does not require a Developer-operated account. Your Content, App settings, reminder information, and purchase-entitlement status are stored on your device. We do not operate a cloud service that automatically stores, backs up, or synchronizes this information.

Because we do not keep a remote copy, we generally cannot recover Your Content if it is deleted, lost, damaged, corrupted, or becomes inaccessible.

You are responsible for:

• entering accurate dates, prices, reminder times, and recurrence settings;
• ensuring that you have the right to store and use Your Content;
• protecting sensitive documents and backup files;
• maintaining your own backups where needed;
• complying with applicable laws and third-party rights; and
• deciding what information is appropriate to store on your device.

You must not use Chronaya to store or distribute unlawful content, malicious files, infringing material, or information you are not authorized to possess.

Our handling of information is described further in the Chronaya Privacy Policy.

4. Device Security and Backups

Chronaya may contain receipts, identity documents, insurance records, financial values, and other sensitive information.

Chronaya does not add application-level encryption beyond the protections provided by your device and operating system. Exported Chronaya backup ZIP files also do not use additional Chronaya-specific encryption.

You accept the risks of storing information locally and agree to use reasonable security measures, including a secure screen lock and careful handling of exported backups.

Chronaya may allow you to export and restore compatible backup files. Some unavailable, unreadable, external, unsupported, damaged, or incompatible information may not be included or restored.

You are responsible for creating, protecting, checking, and retaining your backups. We do not guarantee that every backup will work on every App version, device, operating system, or platform.

We are not responsible for data loss caused by device failure, uninstalling the App, operating-system changes, file corruption, storage cleanup, third-party services, user error, or failure to maintain a usable backup.

5. Reminders Are Not Guaranteed

Chronaya schedules reminders through services provided by your device and operating system.

Reminder delivery may be delayed, duplicated, blocked, or prevented by factors outside our control, including:

• notification or alarm permissions;
• battery-saving or background restrictions;
• device shutdown or restart;
• operating-system or manufacturer behavior;
• timezone or device-clock changes;
• notification settings;
• storage or software errors; or
• removal of the App or its local data.

You remain responsible for checking important dates and completing the required actions.

Do not rely on Chronaya as your only reminder for legal deadlines, government documents, medical matters, travel, insurance, financial obligations, subscription renewals, returns, warranties, or other high-consequence events.

6. Chronaya Does Not Act on Your Behalf

Chronaya does not automatically:

• cancel subscriptions;
• submit returns, warranty claims, or insurance claims;
• renew or replace documents;
• make or stop payments;
• contact merchants, insurers, governments, or service providers; or
• verify that a date, price, document, link, or attachment is correct or valid.

You must complete the relevant action yourself and confirm its result.

Savings summaries and avoided-payment amounts are estimates based on information and confirmations you provide. They may not reflect taxes, exchange rates, fees, refunds, price changes, partial billing periods, or other circumstances.

Savings information is provided for personal organization only and is not financial, accounting, or tax advice.

7. Features and Optional Purchases

Chronaya may provide some features without payment and may offer additional features through an optional one-time, non-consumable in-app purchase.

The current availability of features and any applicable product limits are shown in the App. We may adjust which features or limits apply in future versions when reasonably necessary for product maintenance, technical compatibility, security, legal compliance, or app-store requirements.

A completed one-time purchase is not a subscription and does not automatically renew. We will not convert it into a recurring subscription without your separate and explicit agreement.

Access provided by a one-time purchase applies during the supported commercial lifetime of Chronaya on the platform store where the purchase was made. It does not guarantee permanent App availability, compatibility with every future device or operating system, access on another platform, inclusion of every future feature, or maintenance and support forever.

8. Purchases, Pricing, Refunds, and Restoration

Optional purchases are processed by Google Play on Android or the Apple App Store on iOS.

The applicable store determines the displayed price, currency, taxes, payment methods, transaction processing, and certain refund rules.

Prices may change over time, including for new users and future purchases. The price shown by the applicable store when a purchase is confirmed is the price that applies to that transaction. A later price change does not create a recurring charge or require a user who already completed that same one-time purchase to pay the difference.

Chronaya may check the purchase status reported by the store before granting or continuing access to paid features.

Restore Purchases requires:

• the same platform and store account used for the original purchase;
• access to the applicable store services;
• an internet connection when the store requires one;
• a valid purchase that has not been refunded, reversed, charged back, or revoked; and
• a compatible version of Chronaya.

Restore Purchases restores only eligible paid-feature access. It does not restore records, attachments, settings, reminders, or backup files.

A purchase on one platform does not automatically grant access on another platform or app store unless we expressly state otherwise.

Refund requests and payment disputes are handled under applicable law and the rules of the platform store. If a purchase is refunded, reversed, charged back, found fraudulent, or revoked, Chronaya may remove the related paid-feature access.

Losing paid-feature access does not intentionally delete existing local records or attachments. However, some actions may become unavailable or limited.

Nothing in these Terms limits consumer or refund rights that cannot legally be excluded.

9. Third-Party Services

Chronaya may interact with services provided by Google, Apple, your operating system, or other apps and websites you choose to use.

These may include app-store billing, notification services, file pickers, cameras, file viewers, browsers, email apps, messaging apps, cloud-storage services, and sharing interfaces.

Third-party services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control and are not responsible for their availability, security, billing, content, or data practices.

10. Acceptable Use

You may not:

• use Chronaya for unlawful, fraudulent, abusive, or harmful purposes;
• bypass or attempt to bypass purchase checks or paid-feature controls;
• interfere with, damage, overload, or disrupt the App;
• introduce malware or malicious files;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or circumvent technical protections except where applicable law expressly permits it;
• copy, resell, sublicense, or commercially redistribute the App without written permission; or
• use the App in a way that violates another person’s privacy, intellectual-property rights, or other legal rights.

11. Updates, Availability, and Discontinuation

We may update Chronaya to improve security, reliability, compatibility, design, or functionality.

Features may be added, changed, limited, replaced, or removed when reasonably necessary because of legal requirements, app-store rules, security concerns, operating-system changes, technical limitations, discontinued services, or product maintenance.

Early-access features may be incomplete, experimental, changed, or discontinued.

We do not guarantee that Chronaya will always be available, error-free, compatible with every device, or continuously maintained.

You may stop using Chronaya at any time by uninstalling it.

We may discontinue distribution, purchases, updates, restoration support, or technical support when reasonably necessary. Discontinuation does not automatically delete backup files you exported or information retained by Google, Apple, or another third party.

12. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Chronaya is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

We do not guarantee that:

• reminders will always appear at the selected time;
• dates, recurrence calculations, or savings estimates will always be accurate;
• records, attachments, or backups will never be lost or corrupted;
• the App will meet every legal, financial, insurance, travel, medical, personal, or business need; or
• app stores, links, third-party apps, or services will remain available.

You are responsible for reviewing important information and maintaining alternative records, reminders, and backups where appropriate.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, documents, money, savings, opportunity, access, business, or profits arising from or related to your use of Chronaya.

Where liability cannot be excluded, we will be liable only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability or consumer remedies that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

13. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

If you are a consumer outside Türkiye, this choice of law does not remove mandatory protections provided by the laws of your country of residence.

Disputes may be submitted to any court, consumer authority, arbitration body, or other institution that has jurisdiction under applicable law.

Before beginning formal proceedings, you are encouraged to contact us so we can attempt to resolve the matter.

14. Changes and Contact

We may update these Terms when Chronaya, applicable law, app-store requirements, or our business practices change.

The updated version will display a revised “Last updated” date. Material changes may be communicated through the App, the app-store listing, release notes, or the Chronaya website.

Your continued use of Chronaya after updated Terms take effect constitutes acceptance where permitted by law. Where separate consent is legally required, we will request it.
