1. About these terms
These terms are an agreement between you and Vera Modenova, a sole trader based in England, United Kingdom, who runs Savela (“we”, “us”). They cover the Savela iPhone app and its online service (together, “Savela”). By creating an account or using Savela you agree to them. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data, and our Community Guidelines are part of these terms.
You must be at least 13 to use Savela. If you are under 18, please make sure a parent or guardian is happy for you to use it.
2. Your account
You sign in with Apple or, where offered, with your email address. Keep access to your Apple ID or email secure, as anyone with it can use your account. Tell us at support@savela.co.uk if you think someone else has used it. One person per account, please.
3. Your content
“Your content” means what you put into Savela: links, screenshots, photos, notes, edits, profile details and collections. You keep all your rights in it.
So that we can run Savela, you give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free permission to store, copy, process and display your content, and to send it to the service providers named in our Privacy Policy, only as needed to provide Savela to you and to the people you share with. This permission ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies other people have saved from what you shared and short-lived backups.
You are responsible for your content. Savela is meant for keeping things for your own personal use. Material you save from websites and social networks belongs to its owners. Please don’t share it in ways that break their rights or the rules of the site it came from.
If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them freely without owing you anything.
4. AI and accuracy
With your permission, Savela uses AI services to read what you save and make cards. Cards, place details, book and film details and search results are produced automatically and may be incomplete, out of date or wrong. Always check what matters, such as allergens and ingredients, opening hours, prices, event dates and addresses, at the original source. Savela is not professional, medical, dietary, legal or financial advice.
Some details come from third parties such as Google, Open Library and Wikidata. They are shown under those providers’ terms and attributions, and we don’t control them.
5. Sharing and collections
You can share a find or a collection by link. Anyone with the link who has Savela can open it. If you share a find, they can save a copy of the card, and that copy stays with them even if you stop sharing. Only share with people you trust, and stop sharing or change the link if it reaches the wrong people.
When you add finds to someone else’s collection, its owner and members can see them and who added them. The owner of a collection can remove members and their reactions. You can leave a collection at any time.
6. Acceptable use
You must not use Savela to:
- break the law or help anyone else break it;
- share content that is illegal, or that breaks our Community Guidelines;
- harass, threaten or exploit anyone, or share someone’s private information without their permission;
- infringe anyone’s copyright, trade mark or other rights;
- send spam, scams or malware;
- access or try to access other people’s accounts or data, probe or disrupt our systems, get round limits, or scrape or copy the service in bulk;
- reverse engineer the app, except where the law allows it.
We may remove content or limit, suspend or close an account that breaks these rules. Where it is reasonable, we will tell you why and give you a chance to respond. You can appeal by emailing us, as explained in the Community Guidelines.
7. Free plan and subscriptions
Savela is free to start, with a monthly allowance of new finds that Savela turns into cards. The allowance is shown in the app. We may change it in future; if we lower it, we will tell you in advance in the app.
Savela Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription that gives you a larger allowance. Its price and period are shown in the app before you buy.
- You buy Savela Pro through Apple’s App Store, and payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase.
- The subscription renews automatically for the same period and price unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends.
- You can manage or cancel it at any time in your iPhone’s Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions. Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep Pro until the end of the period you’ve paid for.
- If a free trial is offered, any unused part of it ends when you buy a subscription.
- If we change the price, Apple will tell you in advance and, where the law requires, ask for your consent before you are charged the new price.
- Refunds are handled by Apple under its terms. You can ask for one at reportaproblem.apple.com. This does not affect your statutory rights.
- Deleting the app or your Savela account does not cancel a subscription. Please cancel it in your Apple ID settings too.
8. Changes and availability
We are always improving Savela, so features may change. If we make a change that significantly affects what you pay for, we will tell you in advance, and if you have a paid subscription you can cancel it. We try to keep Savela running smoothly, but it may sometimes be unavailable, for example during maintenance.
Please keep your own copies of anything irreplaceable. Savela is a convenient place to collect things, not a backup service.
We may update these terms. If a change is important, we will tell you in the app before it applies. If you don’t agree, you can stop using Savela and delete your account.
9. Ending your use
You can stop using Savela and delete your account at any time in Settings → Account & Data → Delete account. We may suspend or close your account if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, if the law requires it, or if we stop running Savela. If we stop running Savela, we will give you reasonable notice and a way to get your data, and you will not be charged for any period after the service ends.
10. Our responsibility to you
If you use Savela as a consumer, you have legal rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, including that the service is provided with reasonable care and skill and that the app matches its description. Nothing in these terms limits those rights. Nothing limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law.
If we don’t meet these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result. We are not responsible for loss that was not foreseeable, for business losses (Savela is for personal use), for content created or shared by other users, for third-party websites and services you reach through Savela, or for loss of content you could reasonably have kept a copy of.
If the app damages your device or other digital content because we failed to use reasonable care and skill, we will repair the damage or pay you compensation.
Apart from those cases, our total liability to you is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for Savela in the 12 months before the claim and £100.
11. Apple
If you got Savela from Apple’s App Store:
- These terms are between you and us, not Apple. We, not Apple, are responsible for Savela and its content.
- You may use Savela on Apple devices that you own or control, as allowed by the App Store’s Usage Rules.
- Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for Savela. For help, contact us.
- If Savela fails to meet any warranty that applies, you can tell Apple, and Apple will refund the price you paid for the app, if any. To the extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation regarding Savela.
- We, not Apple, are responsible for any claims relating to Savela, including product liability claims, claims that it fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer protection or privacy claims.
- If someone claims that Savela or your use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, will be responsible for investigating, defending, settling and discharging that claim.
- You confirm that you are not in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- You must also follow the terms of any third-party services you use with Savela, such as your mobile network.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and, once you accept them, may enforce them against you.
12. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. You can bring legal proceedings in the courts of England and Wales; if you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring them in your local courts. If you live elsewhere, you keep any protections that the consumer law of your country gives you.
If you have a problem, please contact us first. Most things can be sorted out quickly.
If any part of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest still applies. If we don’t enforce a right straight away, we can still enforce it later.
