Mobile App Terms Addendum — FishFinder Engine™

Status: DRAFT — for attorney review. Effective Date: [Effective Date] Version: 0.1-draft Read alongside: EULA / Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Location & Outdoor Safety Disclaimer, Subscription & Billing Policy, Cookie & Tracking Policy.

This Addendum applies in addition to our EULA / Terms of Use whenever you download, install, or use the FishFinder Engine iOS app (bundle ID com.fishfinderengine.app), the FishFinder Engine Apple Watch app (bundle ID com.fishfinderengine.watch), or any future Android version of the Service.

If you do not agree to this Addendum, do not install or use the apps.

1. The agreement is with us, not Apple or Google

The EULA / Terms of Use and this Addendum are between you and [Company Legal Name] d/b/a FishFinder Engine — not between you and Apple, Google, or any other app store. Apple and Google have no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the apps and are not parties to your subscription, your account, or any dispute about the apps.

2. Apple App Store — Apple-required acknowledgments

If you obtain the iOS or watchOS app through the Apple App Store, you acknowledge:

1. License scope. Your license to use the iOS / watchOS app is limited to a non-transferable license to use the app on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by Apple's Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms of Use.
2. Maintenance and support. We — not Apple — are solely responsible for any maintenance and support services for the apps.
3. Warranty. We — not Apple — are solely responsible for any warranty obligations, statutory or otherwise. To the extent any express warranty fails, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any) you paid Apple for the app.
4. Product claims. We — not Apple — are responsible for addressing product claims, including product-liability claims, claims that the app fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, or claims under consumer-protection or similar legislation.
5. Intellectual property claims. If a third party alleges that the app or your possession or use of it infringes that party's intellectual property rights, we — not Apple — are responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of that claim.
6. Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that you are not in a country 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 on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
7. Third-party beneficiary. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of the EULA / Terms of Use and this Addendum, and upon acceptance, Apple has the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce them against you.

3. Google Play (when applicable)

If a Google Play release of the Service is published, the Google Play Terms of Service and Google Play Developer Distribution Agreement apply to your installation and use. Subscriptions purchased through Google Play are billed by Google and managed in your Google Play account.

4. In-app purchases

If subscriptions are sold inside the iOS, watchOS, or Android apps (through StoreKit / Google Play Billing), the Subscription & Billing Policy applies, modified by the rules of the relevant app store. Specifically:

• Cancellations, refunds, family-sharing eligibility, and trial conversions are managed by Apple or Google, not by us.
• Auto-renewal: subscriptions auto-renew until you cancel through your Apple ID or Google Play account.
• Trial behavior may differ from the web's 1-day Elite trial; see the in-app purchase sheet for the exact terms shown to you at the time of purchase.

[Attorney Review Needed] — confirm whether the iOS app currently sells subscriptions through StoreKit or only routes you to the web checkout. Apple Guideline 3.1.1 requires StoreKit for any digital subscription consumed in the iOS app. As of the Effective Date the iOS PricingView and UpgradeRequiredView open the web pricing page, which is permissible only if no in-app digital subscription is sold.

5. Device permissions

To use the apps fully, you may be asked to grant the following permissions. You can revoke each in your device settings.

We do not use Apple's Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) and do not display ads.

6. Apple Watch app — special considerations

The watchOS app supports active fishing sessions, voice notes, on-wrist AI prompts ("Ask AI"), and quick catch confirmation. Catches logged from the watch are recorded on the backend with device_source = "watch". Voice notes captured on the watch may be stored on the device and/or synced to the iPhone or backend; they may be processed (e.g., for transcription). [Attorney Review Needed] — confirm exact voice-note storage, transcription, and retention behavior.

The Apple Watch app requires a paired and signed-in iPhone for full functionality.

7. Push notifications

If you grant notification permission, we may send (or, at our discretion, later send) push notifications about your account, billing, trial expiry, trip reminders, AI quota status, and system announcements. You can disable push notifications in iOS settings at any time. We do not currently have a separate marketing push channel.

8. SMS Trip Companion (cross-cutting)

Although SMS messages are sent over the carrier network and not strictly through the app stores, the SMS Trip Companion feature is closely tied to the apps. SMS opt-in, daily caps, AI reply caps, STOP/HELP keyword support, and consent recordkeeping are described in PRIVACY_POLICY.md and ACCEPTABLE_USE_POLICY.md.

9. Network and data costs

Mobile data usage is your responsibility. Streaming maps, syncing photos, or downloading lake data over a metered connection may incur charges from your carrier.

10. Updates and version compatibility

We may release app updates that change features, deprecate older features, or change minimum supported OS versions. The minimum versions today are iOS 17 and watchOS 10.

11. Open-source notices

The web frontend uses Chart.js (MIT) and Leaflet.js (BSD-2) libraries, with map tiles from OpenStreetMap under the Open Database License (ODbL). Required attributions appear in the web UI footer. The native iOS and watchOS apps use only Apple-provided frameworks; no third-party SDKs are bundled. Backend dependencies are listed in requirements.txt.

12. Contact

[Contact Email] — Mail: [Company Legal Name] d/b/a FishFinder Engine, 14200 Natalie Rd NE, Prior Lake, MN 55372, USA.

[Attorney Review Needed] — confirm App Store IAP posture (whether Elite is sold through StoreKit), watch microphone permission language for voice notes, voice-note storage and transcription disclosures, and Apple "third-party beneficiary" wording.
