Terms of Use

1. Introduction

These Terms of Use govern your use of the Vaava mobile application and related services provided by Novi Homines Software Oy ("Vaava", "we", "us", or "our"). By accessing or using Vaava, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

Vaava is available as a free, local-first mobile app for family tracking and baby monitor use. Optional Vaava Plus adds cloud sync and related features subject to a paid subscription.

2. Eligibility and Responsible Use

You must be legally capable of entering into a binding agreement in your country of residence. You must be at least 18 years old to create a Vaava Plus account. You are responsible for supervising your own use of baby-monitor and tracking features and for any decisions made based on app output.

3. Your rights in Local Mode Free

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use Vaava for private, non-commercial family tracking purposes on supported devices.

What you can expect in Local Mode

• Use core tracking and monitor functions
• Keep data on your own devices and local device-to-device sync paths
• Export supported data where export is provided in the app

What is not included in Local Mode

• No guarantee that every feature is available on every device or OS version
• Some features may require local network conditions that are outside our control

4. Vaava Plus Subscription

Vaava Plus is an optional paid subscription that adds cloud sync, household sharing, and related features. Local Mode remains available without a subscription.

Account registration

To use Vaava Plus you must register for an account with accurate information (including a valid email address and password). You are responsible for all activity under your account and for keeping your login credentials secure. How we process personal data is described in our Privacy Policy.

Subscriptions and billing

Subscriptions are purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play (or as otherwise shown in the app). Price, billing period, trial terms (if any), and auto-renewal are displayed before you confirm purchase and are subject to the platform provider's terms. We do not receive or store your full payment card details for those purchases. To cancel a recurring subscription or request a refund, follow Apple or Google's subscription management and refund rules.

Entitlement activation and access

Vaava Plus cloud features are enabled based on server-side entitlement status. In some cases there may be a short delay between a store purchase/renewal/cancellation and effective access in the app while subscription status is synchronized.

If billing fails, your subscription expires, your household access changes, or your entitlement is otherwise no longer valid, some or all Vaava Plus cloud features may be limited, suspended, or unavailable until entitlement is restored.

Household sharing

Vaava Plus may include household sharing capabilities. Household owner actions (such as invite, removal, and key management operations) can affect member access to shared cloud features and synced data.

Encryption and recovery responsibility

Vaava Plus cloud sync uses end-to-end encryption workflows. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials and recovery information safe. Losing required recovery credentials may prevent access to previously encrypted cloud data on new devices.

Communications

We may send you email or in-app notifications about your account, subscription and billing, security, service operations, and material updates to these Terms of Use or our privacy practices.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the app for unlawful, abusive, or harmful purposes
• Attempt unauthorized access to systems, networks, or other users' data
• Interfere with normal app or service operation
• Copy, resell, reverse engineer, or redistribute the app except where mandatory law allows

6. Intellectual Property

Vaava, including software, branding, design, and content, is owned by Novi Homines Software Oy or its licensors and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. These terms grant a right to use the service, not ownership of the software.

7. Service Changes, Suspension, and Termination

We may update, suspend, or discontinue parts of the app or service to improve quality, security, or legal compliance. We may suspend or terminate access for violations of these terms.

You may stop using the app at any time and may delete local app data as described in our Privacy Policy.

If you use Vaava Plus, you may cancel your subscription through your App Store or Google Play account settings. Where the app provides account or subscription controls, you may use those to manage your access; continued use of certain features may require an active subscription.

8. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

The app is provided "as is" and "as available" to the maximum extent permitted by law. We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation or error-free performance.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or loss of data/profits arising from use of the app. Nothing in these terms limits rights that cannot be excluded under applicable consumer law.

9. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of Finland, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, unless mandatory consumer law in your jurisdiction requires otherwise.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Use from time to time. Material changes will be communicated in-app, or on the website. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms.
