Terms and Conditions

Last Updated: July 30, 2026

These Terms and Conditions explain the rules that apply when you use PillsCheck. PillsCheck is a medication tracking and reminder app designed to help you manage medication routines on your own device, with an optional copy of your data kept in your own iCloud account.

1. Introduction and Acceptance of Terms

These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of the PillsCheck mobile application, related app features, and the PillsCheck website at https://pillscheck.com (together, the "Service").

"PillsCheck," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Ivan Sokalskyi, an independent developer operating as a sole proprietor (jednoosobowa działalność gospodarcza) registered in Poland, NIP 8982299245, with registered business address at ul. Edwarda Abramowskiego 45, 51-663 Wrocław, Poland. "You" means any person who downloads, accesses, or uses the Service.

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using PillsCheck, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility and Acceptance

PillsCheck is a general-audience app intended for adults who are managing their own medication. You must be old enough to enter into a binding agreement in your country of residence to use the Service.

  • In the European Union and European Economic Area, you must be at least 16 years old, or younger only with the consent or authorization of a parent or legal guardian, consistent with the age of digital consent set under Polish law.
  • In the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, and elsewhere, you must meet the minimum age required to form a binding contract and to use the Apple App Store under applicable local law.
  • PillsCheck is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If you are below the applicable age, please use the Service only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian. By using the Service, you confirm that you meet these eligibility requirements.

3. Medical Disclaimer

PillsCheck is a tool for tracking medication and is not a medical device or a substitute for professional medical advice.

Information shown in PillsCheck is provided for general informational and organizational purposes only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, prescription guidance, dosage verification, drug-interaction checking, emergency assistance, or clinical decision support.

You should always follow instructions from your doctor, pharmacist, or other qualified healthcare professional. Do not start, stop, delay, or change any medication, dose, treatment plan, or medical routine based only on information in PillsCheck.

In an emergency or if you believe you may have a medical problem, contact emergency services or a qualified healthcare professional immediately.

4. Description of the Service

PillsCheck helps you create and manage medication reminders, schedules, dosage labels, notes, optional medication photos, and dose tracking records on your device. The Service is intended to support personal organization and routine tracking.

PillsCheck does not require user registration, does not provide a developer-operated backend, and does not send your medication data to us. Use of PillsCheck requires an active auto-renewing subscription, as described in Section 7.

5. User Responsibilities

You are responsible for entering accurate medication names, dosage labels, schedules, notes, reminder times, and dose records. PillsCheck does not independently verify the accuracy, safety, or suitability of any information you enter.

You are responsible for checking reminders and maintaining access to your device. Device settings, notification permissions, operating system behavior, battery settings, focus modes, time zone changes, or other technical factors may affect whether reminders appear as expected.

6. License and Acceptable Use

PillsCheck, including its design, interface, text, graphics, icons, logos, software, source code, and other content, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. © 2026 Ivan Sokalskyi.

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use PillsCheck for your own lawful personal purposes, subject to these Terms and any applicable App Store or platform rules.

This license is limited to use of PillsCheck on Apple-branded products that you own or control, and as permitted by the Usage Rules set out in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that PillsCheck may also be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you through Family Sharing or volume purchasing.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of PillsCheck except where applicable law expressly allows it.

You agree not to use PillsCheck to:

  • violate any applicable law or regulation;
  • interfere with, damage, or disrupt the Service or related systems;
  • attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service;
  • use the Service as a substitute for professional medical care, emergency care, or medication safety review;
  • reproduce, resell, or commercially exploit the Service without our written permission.

7. Subscriptions, Free Trial, and Refunds

PillsCheck is a paid application that requires an active auto-renewing subscription to use. The subscription is offered as a monthly plan or a yearly plan through the App Store, and you choose one of these plans at the time of purchase. PillsCheck does not offer any other category of in-app purchase (no consumables, no non-consumables, and no non-renewing subscriptions).

The subscription is sold and billed by Apple Inc. as the seller and merchant of record through the App Store, not directly by us. The purchase contract for the subscription is concluded between you and Apple and is governed by Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions and the applicable Apple end user license agreement, in addition to these Terms. We receive no card or payment data from your purchase; Apple processes all payments.

Free trial: the subscription is offered with a 7-day free trial. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the free trial automatically converts into the paid auto-renewing subscription at the end of the trial period.

Auto-renewal: the subscription renews automatically at the end of each subscription period for the same period and at the then-current price published on the App Store, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Pricing: the price and billing period are the live prices shown in the App Store at the time of purchase and on the subscription management screen. We do not set out a price figure in these Terms; the price you see and agree to is the one displayed by the App Store for your region.

Manage and restore: you can view, manage, and cancel your subscription at any time in the App Store, through iOS Settings, your Apple ID, then Subscriptions. You can restore an existing subscription using the "Restore Purchases" option provided in the app.

Refunds: refund requests for App Store purchases are handled by Apple at https://reportaproblem.apple.com. Because Apple is the seller, we cannot process refunds directly.

8. Consumer Withdrawal Rights for Digital Content

Where you act as a consumer, you may have a statutory right to withdraw from or cancel a distance contract within 14 days. Because the subscription is sold by Apple, this right runs against Apple as the seller and is exercised through Apple's processes.

For digital content and digital services that are supplied immediately, you can be asked to consent to performance beginning before the withdrawal period ends and to acknowledge that you will then lose the right of withdrawal once performance has begun. This applies, among others, to consumers in the European Union and European Economic Area under the Polish Act of 30 May 2014 on Consumer Rights (ustawa z dnia 30 maja 2014 r. o prawach konsumenta) implementing Directive 2011/83/EU, and to consumers in the United Kingdom under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. Nothing in these Terms limits any withdrawal or cancellation right you have by law against the seller.

9. User Data and Privacy

PillsCheck operates without any backend of ours. Medication names, dosage labels, schedules, dose history, notes, optional medication photos, and other information you enter are stored on your device in a single local file. If your device is signed into iCloud, your medications and dose history are also stored in the private area of your own iCloud account, so that they can be restored after a reinstall and appear on your other devices; app settings are not included. This is on by default and can be switched off per device in the app, under Settings, then iCloud Sync. We do not collect, receive, view, sell, rent, or share this data with third parties, and we cannot read the copy held in your iCloud.

If you choose a photo stored in your iCloud Photos, iOS or Apple (not PillsCheck) may retrieve that photo from your own iCloud under Apple's terms.

Because we do not operate a backend for this data, we cannot access, restore, export, modify, or delete it for you. You control it through the app, your device, and your Apple Account. Removing a reminder inside the app hides it from view and marks it as deleted, while the underlying record remains in your app data until you delete the app data and the iCloud copy. Deleting PillsCheck from your device removes the single local file from that device; the copy in your iCloud account is removed separately, either by switching iCloud Sync off in the app and choosing to delete the copy, or in iOS Settings under your name, then iCloud, then the screen that manages the storage used by apps. You are responsible for any backups that your device or operating system may support, and for the availability of the iCloud service and your Apple Account, which are provided by Apple and not by us.

For more information, please review our Privacy Policy and our Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy.

10. Platform and System Features

PillsCheck does not embed third-party SDKs, analytics, advertising networks, or developer-operated cloud services. The only platform services used are those provided by Apple as part of iOS and the App Store, including local notifications, AlarmKit features for high-importance reminders where available and authorized, iCloud (CloudKit) storage inside your own iCloud account as described in Section 9, App Store distribution, and App Store in-app purchase and subscription billing.

The Service may link to app stores, operating system features, email support, websites, or other third-party resources that we do not own or control. We are not responsible for third-party content, services, privacy practices, or terms.

11. App Availability and Updates

We may update, modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of PillsCheck at any time. Some features may depend on your device, operating system version, notification settings, language settings, or app store availability.

We do not guarantee that PillsCheck will be uninterrupted, error-free, compatible with every device, or available in every country or region.

12. Disclaimers and Statutory Guarantees

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, PillsCheck is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any guarantee, warranty, right, or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted, or modified, and you may have rights in addition to those described here. In particular:

  • If you are a consumer in the United Kingdom, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 gives you statutory rights, including that digital content must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, and as described; nothing in these Terms affects those rights.
  • If you are a consumer in Australia, our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law; nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies those non-excludable consumer guarantees.
  • If you are a consumer in the European Union or European Economic Area, you keep the statutory rights and remedies available to you under EU and Polish consumer law, including for digital content and digital services.
  • Consumers elsewhere retain any non-excludable statutory rights under the mandatory law of their country of habitual residence.

Where statutory guarantees or rights cannot be excluded but the law allows us to limit the remedy, our liability for a breach of such a guarantee is limited, at our option and to the extent permitted by law, to supplying the Service again or paying the cost of having it supplied again.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, missed reminders, missed doses, health-related outcomes, device failure, notification failure, app deletion, or inability to access app-local data.

Because PillsCheck stores data locally on your device, deleting the app, replacing your device, resetting your device, or changing device backup settings may result in permanent data loss. We cannot recover data that was never transmitted to us.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, and except for liability that cannot be limited or excluded, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to PillsCheck and these Terms is limited to the greater of the total amount you paid for PillsCheck in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or EUR 50.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or under non-excludable consumer protection law in your country of habitual residence.

14. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Ivan Sokalskyi from claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses arising from your misuse of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

This Section does not apply to the extent it is prohibited by mandatory consumer protection law in your country of habitual residence. In particular, it does not apply to consumers in the European Union or European Economic Area where mandatory law (including the Polish Civil Code, art. 385(1)-385(3)) prohibits or limits indemnification clauses against consumers, and it does not apply where it would be void or unenforceable against consumers under the law of the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, or Australia.

15. Apple as a Third-Party Beneficiary

These Terms are concluded between you and us, and not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for PillsCheck or its content.

We, and not Apple, are solely responsible for PillsCheck, for its content, and for any maintenance or support services for it.

To the extent you use PillsCheck on an Apple device, you acknowledge that:

  • Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services for PillsCheck;
  • in the event of any failure of PillsCheck to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any) for the app to you, and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to PillsCheck; any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty are our responsibility and not Apple's;
  • Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to PillsCheck, including product liability claims, claims that PillsCheck fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation, subject to your non-excludable rights against the seller;
  • Apple is not responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, or discharge of any third-party intellectual property claim relating to PillsCheck;
  • you will comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using PillsCheck.

You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

16. Termination

You may stop using PillsCheck at any time. You may also delete the app from your device, which permanently removes your app-local data file from that device.

We may suspend or terminate access to the Service, where technically possible, if we believe you have violated these Terms or if required by law. Because PillsCheck runs no service of ours and does not require an account with us, termination will usually occur through your decision to stop using or delete the app. Any subscription you hold is managed and cancelled through the App Store as described in Section 7.

17. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page in the app and on the PillsCheck website with a revised "Last Updated" date.

For non-material changes (such as clarifications, typographical corrections, or updates to contact details), the updated Terms take effect on the date posted, and your continued use of PillsCheck after that date constitutes acceptance.

For material changes (such as changes to the legal basis or scope of processing, changes to paid features, or changes that materially affect your rights or obligations), we will provide reasonable advance notice, for example by an in-app message, an update note, or a notice on the website, before the changes take effect, so that you have an opportunity to review them. If you do not agree to a material change, you may stop using the Service and uninstall the app before the change takes effect; you will not be bound by the change in a way that affects your continued rights against us in respect of use prior to that date.

18. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

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

This choice of law does not deprive you, where you use the Service as a consumer, of the protection afforded to you by the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of habitual residence. For consumers in the European Union or European Economic Area, this is confirmed by Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 ("Rome I"). For consumers in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, and elsewhere, you retain the protection of the mandatory consumer law of your place of habitual residence notwithstanding this choice of law.

Disputes that cannot be resolved amicably will be brought before the competent courts of Poland. Where you are a consumer, you may also bring proceedings before the competent courts of your country or place of habitual residence, and, where required by the mandatory law applicable to you, we will bring proceedings against you only in those courts.

19. Dispute Resolution

If you have a concern, please contact us first at support_pills@rongan.me so we can try to resolve it.

The European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform ceased operating on 20 July 2025. EU and EEA consumers can find current out-of-court dispute resolution options through their national consumer authority or their European Consumer Centre.

Consumers habitually resident in Poland may also submit consumer disputes to the entities competent for out-of-court resolution of consumer disputes under the Polish Act of 23 September 2016 on Out-of-Court Resolution of Consumer Disputes (ustawa o pozasądowym rozwiązywaniu sporów konsumenckich). Information about Polish consumer protection, including the list of competent dispute-resolution entities, is published by the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (Urząd Ochrony Konkurencji i Konsumentów, UOKiK) at https://uokik.gov.pl. Use of any such mechanism is voluntary on both sides.

Consumers in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, and other countries may use any dispute-resolution or consumer-complaint avenue available under the law of their place of habitual residence. Nothing in this Section limits your right to bring a claim in your local courts as described in Section 18.

20. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or other competent authority, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or, if it cannot be so modified, it will be severed from these Terms. The remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
