Terms of service

In plain termsSpinaroo is free, your wheels are yours, and it picks at random. Don’t use it for anything that actually matters.

This page is the agreement between you and BaruzoTech for using the Spinaroo app and this website. We have written it to be read rather than skimmed, but the summary is genuinely this: we give you the app for nothing, we take nothing from you, we make no promises that it is fit for deciding anything important, and if it somehow costs you money we are not the ones paying.

The summaries in the boxes are here to help. Where a box and the full text seem to disagree, the full text is what governs.

By downloading, installing or using Spinaroo, or by using spinaroo.baruzotech.com, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree to them, please do not use Spinaroo - and if you have already installed it, deleting the app ends the agreement immediately and completely.

In these terms, “we”, “us” and “our” mean BaruzoTech. “You” means you. “Spinaroo” and “the app” mean the Spinaroo iOS application; “the site” means this website.

Anyone who can operate an iPhone, subject to two things. First, you must be old enough to form a binding contract where you live, or have a parent or guardian who agrees to these terms on your behalf. Second, you must be able to accept these terms lawfully - see legal compliance for the sanctions and export restrictions Apple requires us to pass on.

Spinaroo contains nothing age-inappropriate and asks for no personal information from anyone, at any age. It is not directed at children and is not listed in the App Store’s Kids Category, as explained in our privacy policy.

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use Spinaroo on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, in line with the Usage Rules in Apple’s App Store Terms of Service, including any Family Sharing or volume purchasing arrangements those rules allow.

You may not:

• Copy, sell, rent, lease, sublicense or otherwise distribute the app, except as Apple’s Usage Rules permit
• Reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the app, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction
• Remove or obscure any copyright or other proprietary notices
• Use the app in breach of any law that applies to you

We own the app; we are licensing it to you, not selling it to you. Any rights not expressly granted here stay with us.

In plain termsIt’s a random picker for settling arguments about dinner. It is not a decision you should stake anything on.

Spinaroo picks an answer at random. That is the entire product, and it is meant for low-stakes disagreements: what to eat, what to watch, whose turn it is to do the dishes.

Spinaroo must not be relied on for, and is not offered as a tool for, anything of consequence. That includes:

• Medical, legal, financial, tax or professional decisions of any kind - the wheel does not know anything and is not advice
• Gambling, betting, wagering or any activity where money or anything of value turns on the outcome
• Prize draws, raffles, sweepstakes, lotteries or competition selection, or any process with a legal requirement of demonstrable fairness or auditability
• Cryptography, security, scientific sampling, statistical research or anything else needing a verifiable or reproducible source of randomness
• Hiring, admissions, allocation of benefits, or any decision affecting a person’s rights or livelihood
• Safety-critical situations, or anything where a wrong answer causes harm

The randomness comes from your phone’s ordinary random number generator and the physics of the spin. It is good enough to settle where to get lunch. It is not certified, audited or guaranteed to be uniform, unbiased or unpredictable, and you should not treat it as if it were.

You decide what to do about the wheel’s answer. It has no authority over you, and you remain responsible for your own choices - including the choice to follow a spin.

In plain termsYour wheels are yours. We never see them, so we could not claim them even if we wanted to.

Anything you type into Spinaroo - your questions, your answers, your spin history - is yours. We claim no ownership of it and no licence over it. This is not generosity; it is arithmetic. Your content is stored on your device and never transmitted to us, so we have nothing to license, moderate, mine or monetise.

The flip side is that you are responsible for what you type and for keeping it. Because the data lives only on your phone:

• We cannot recover your wheels if you delete them, lose your phone, or delete the app. There is no copy on our side to restore from.
• Your own device backup is the only safety net, and managing it is up to you - see our privacy policy.
• You are responsible for the content of your wheels being lawful, and for not typing anything into them that you would not want a person you hand your phone to reading.

There is not much to misuse in an app that runs entirely offline and talks to nobody, but for completeness: do not use Spinaroo to break the law, do not use it to harass or harm anyone, do not try to interfere with its operation or with anyone else’s device, and do not present its output as something it is not - for example, as a fair or audited draw.

Do not use the site to attempt unauthorised access, to scrape it in a way that degrades it for others, or to introduce malicious code.

In plain termsFree. No ads, no subscription, no in-app purchases, and your wheels are never locked behind a paywall.

Spinaroo costs nothing to download and nothing to use. There are no in-app purchases, no subscription tiers, no consumables, no ads and no “pro” version withholding features you already rely on. We say on the site that your wheels are never locked behind a paywall, and we mean it as a commitment, not a launch promotion.

To be straight with you about the limits of a promise in a terms document: we cannot bind ourselves for eternity, and changes to the app and these terms explains how changes work. What we commit to here is the specific thing that matters - we will not take functionality that is free today, including any wheel you have already made, and put it behind a payment later. If Spinaroo ever earns money, it will not be by holding your wheels hostage.

Spinaroo, its name and wordmark, the kangaroo mascot and app icon, the splash artwork, the spectral wheel design, the interface, the copy on this site and the underlying code are owned by BaruzoTech and protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.

Everything in Spinaroo is original work. The icon, the splash art, the wordmark, the mascot and the design system were all made for this project. There is no third-party intellectual property anywhere in the app - including in the wheels we ship with it. The preset questions and answers (“What should I eat?”, “Truth or dare?”, and the rest) are ordinary descriptive phrases written for Spinaroo, not lifted from anyone’s game, brand or format, and the answers on them are generic words like “Pizza” and “Sushi”.

You may not use our name, logo or artwork to identify your own product, to suggest we endorse you, or in any way likely to cause confusion. Writing about Spinaroo, reviewing it, or linking to it is welcome and needs no permission from us.

One thing in Spinaroo is not ours, and we would rather name it than let the paragraph above overreach: the Fredoka typeface, used for the wordmark and headings. Fredoka is licensed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which permits its use here, and it is credited in the site footer. Copyright in the font remains with its authors.

Emoji shown in the app and on this site are rendered by your own device and are the property of their respective owners.

Where these terms link to a third party’s site - Apple’s, for instance - we do not control it and are not responsible for it.

In plain termsIt’s free and provided as-is. We think it works; we’re not promising it will.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Spinaroo and the site are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory. We specifically disclaim the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of defects, that it will meet your requirements, that any defect will be corrected, or that the results of any spin will be random, fair, unbiased or suitable for any purpose. See what Spinaroo is - and what it isn’t.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or of certain consumer rights, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these terms removes rights you have as a consumer that cannot lawfully be removed.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither BaruzoTech nor anyone involved in making Spinaroo will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill or opportunity, arising out of or relating to your use of Spinaroo - including any decision you make because of what a wheel landed on - whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, even if we have been advised of the possibility.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these terms or to Spinaroo will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you actually paid us for the app, which is zero, and (b) ten US dollars (US$10).

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless BaruzoTechfrom any claim, demand, loss or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your unlawful use of Spinaroo, your breach of these terms, or your infringement of anyone else’s rights. This does not apply to claims arising from our own wrongdoing.

In plain termsApple just runs the store. If Spinaroo has a problem, it is ours - talk to us, not them.

Apple requires the following terms in any developer’s own licence agreement. They apply to your use of Spinaroo obtained through the App Store, and where they conflict with anything above, they win.

Acknowledgement

These terms are between you and BaruzoTech only, and not with Apple. BaruzoTech, not Apple, is solely responsible for Spinaroo and its content. These terms may not provide for usage rules for the app that conflict with the App Store Terms of Service.

Scope of licence

The licence granted to you for Spinaroo is a non-transferable licence to use it on Apple-branded products that you own or control, and as permitted by the Usage Rules in the App Store Terms of Service.

Maintenance and support

BaruzoTech is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services for Spinaroo, as specified in these terms or as required by applicable law. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services for Spinaroo.

Warranty

BaruzoTech is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. In the event of any failure of Spinaroo to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the app to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to Spinaroo, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be BaruzoTech’s sole responsibility.

Product claims

BaruzoTech, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to Spinaroo or your possession and use of it, including: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that Spinaroo fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy or similar legislation.

Intellectual property rights

In the event of any third-party claim that Spinaroo or your possession and use of it infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, BaruzoTech, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of any such claim.

Legal compliance

You represent and warrant that (i) 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 (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

Developer name and address

Questions, complaints or claims about Spinaroo should be directed to BaruzoTech at info@baruzotech.com.

Third-party terms of agreement

You must comply with any applicable third-party terms of agreement when using Spinaroo.

Third-party beneficiary

You acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these terms, and that upon your acceptance of these terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these terms against you as a third-party beneficiary of them.

We may update Spinaroo, change how it works, or stop offering it. We may also update these terms - to reflect a change in the app, or in the law. When we do, we will change the “last updated” date at the top of this page, and for material changes we will make the change visible rather than silent.

Continuing to use Spinaroo after terms change means you accept the new ones. If you do not accept them, delete the app; since nothing of yours is held by us, that is a complete exit with nothing left behind.

A version of the app already installed on your phone keeps working whether or not you take an update. It has no server to be switched off.

You can end this agreement at any time by deleting Spinaroo. We may end it if you materially breach these terms. On termination, your licence ends and you should delete the app; the sections on intellectual property, warranty disclaimers, liability and governing law survive.

These terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict of law rules, and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of India.

If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of the country where you live, or of your right to bring proceedings in your local courts where the law gives you that right.

If any provision of these terms is held unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest will remain in force. Our not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it.
