Terms of Service & EULA

Effective date: June 27, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using Putby ("Putby," "the App"), provided by Adelyons Software LLC ("we," "us," or "our"), you agree to these Terms of Service and End User License Agreement (the "Terms") and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

2. Food Safety — Please Read

Putby is a companion to tested recipes — not a replacement, and not food-safety certification. The App is a tracking, reference, and organization tool. It helps you log batches, manage your pantry, print labels, run timers, and look up altitude-aware processing information. It does not certify that any food you make is safe to eat, and it is not a substitute for a current, tested recipe.

Follow tested guidelines: Always follow current, tested home-canning guidelines from authoritative sources such as the USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning, Ball/Bernardin, and the National Center for Home Food Preservation (NCHFP), including their times, methods, headspace, and altitude adjustments. You are responsible for following a tested recipe.
Botulism risk is real: Improperly processed home-canned food — especially low-acid foods that are not pressure-canned correctly — can cause botulism, a serious illness that can be fatal. Putby's botulism check and safe-processing reference are informational aids only and do not guarantee safety.
Reference may be incomplete or inaccurate: Processing times, the altitude adjustment, the botulism check, pantry insights, best-by estimates, and any AI-generated output are informational and may be incomplete, out of date, or inaccurate. Verify against your current tested recipe before processing or eating any food.
When in doubt, throw it out: If a jar did not seal properly, shows signs of spoilage, or you are unsure whether it was processed safely, do not taste it — discard it following safe-handling guidance.
No professional relationship: Using the App does not create any professional, advisory, or food-safety-certifying relationship between you and Adelyons Software LLC.
Use at your own discretion: You are responsible for how you preserve, store, label, and consume your food and for any decisions you make.

3. License Grant

Subject to these Terms, Adelyons Software LLC grants you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use one copy of the App on a device that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use. This license does not transfer any ownership rights. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

4. The Service

Putby is a local-first home-canning and food-preservation companion. It provides a jar log, a living pantry inventory, printable and exportable jar labels, ferment and pickle timers, and an altitude-aware safe-processing reference (water bath vs pressure canning, headspace, acidity, and a botulism check). As described in our Privacy Policy, your data is stored only on your device; there is no account and no cloud backend. The optional Putby+ on-device AI harvest helper may require a one-time, opt-in model download to your device.

5. Subscriptions & Billing (Putby+)

Free & Putby+: Putby's core jar log, living pantry, and the altitude-aware safe-processing & botulism reference are free forever, and no payment card is required to explore the App. We will never paywall safety. Putby+ adds optional insight features. Plans currently include: a Monthly subscription at $3.99/month; an Annual subscription at $19.99/year (recommended); and a one-time Lifetime purchase at $39.99. All three unlock the same Putby+ features. Prices may vary by region and are shown in the App at the time of purchase.
Honest, store-managed billing: Subscriptions and the lifetime purchase are billed through your Apple App Store or Google Play account, using their in-app billing, and are managed through that account. We never see or store your payment-card details, and we never hold your subscription or your data hostage.
No dark-pattern trials, no surprise fees: We do not use deceptive trials. The free tier is genuinely useful indefinitely so you can fully evaluate Putby before paying. If a free trial is ever offered, it will be clearly disclosed at the point of purchase and will be cancel-anytime.
Auto-renewal: The Monthly and Annual subscriptions renew automatically for the same period at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. The Lifetime option is a one-time, non-renewing purchase.
Cancellation: You can manage or cancel a subscription at any time in your device's subscription settings (Apple App Store or Google Play). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
Refunds: Refund requests are handled by Apple or Google according to their respective policies.
Changes: We may change pricing or the features included in Putby+ with notice; changes apply at your next renewal.

6. Your Content & Data

You own the information you enter into the App, including your jar log, pantry inventory, labels, timers, notes, and history. Because Putby is local-first, this content is stored only on your device; we do not receive, store, or claim any license to it. You are responsible for your own device backups (using the App's local export/restore) and for the accuracy of what you record. See the Privacy Policy for full details.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

Reverse-engineer, decompile, or tamper with the App, except to the extent permitted by law;
Use the App in any unlawful way or to infringe the rights of others;
Circumvent, disable, or interfere with the App's purchase or licensing mechanisms;
Rely on the App as a substitute for a current, tested recipe or as certification that your food is safe to eat.

8. Intellectual Property

The App, its design, content, and software are owned by Adelyons Software LLC and are protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms grant you a personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App; they do not transfer any ownership rights.

9. Apple App Store — Additional Terms

If you download the App from the Apple App Store, the following additional terms apply, and you acknowledge and agree that:

These Terms are between you and Adelyons Software LLC only, and not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
The license granted is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions. To the extent these Terms conflict with Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (EULA), the Apple Licensed Application EULA governs for App Store downloads.
Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App. Any questions or support requests should be directed to us at dev@adelyons.com.
If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.
Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the App, including product-liability, regulatory, or intellectual-property claims.
Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance, Apple has the right (and is deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

10. Disclaimers & No Warranty

The App is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any processing time, altitude adjustment, botulism check, insight, label, or report will be accurate or complete. See also the food-safety disclaimer in Section 2.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Adelyons Software LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any personal injury, illness, loss of data, food spoilage, or loss of profits, arising from or related to your use of (or inability to use) the App, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability for any claim related to the App shall not exceed the amount you paid us for the App in the twelve months preceding the claim.

12. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it from your device, which also removes the data stored locally. We may suspend or terminate this license if you violate these Terms. These Terms continue to apply to your prior use.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Effective date" above and, where appropriate, through an in-app notice. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Iowa, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. You agree that any dispute not subject to the rules of the applicable app store will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Iowa, to the extent permitted by law.
