Terms of Service for StoryPlaylist

Effective Date: May 17, 2026

1. Acceptance

By downloading, installing, or using StoryPlaylist (the “App”), you agree to these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the App.

2. The App

StoryPlaylist is an iPad application that lets you discover podcasts via the Apple iTunes Search API, follow podcasts, organize episodes into playlists, and play or download episodes for offline listening. All data is stored locally on your device. The developer does not operate any servers in connection with the App.

3. License

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and Apple’s standard End User License Agreement (Licensed Application End User License Agreement), you are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, for personal, non-commercial purposes.

4. Third-Party Content

The App retrieves podcast metadata, audio, and artwork from third-party sources, including the Apple iTunes Search API, podcast publishers’ RSS feeds, and audio/image hosting providers chosen by those publishers.

  • The developer does not own, host, control, endorse, or moderate any third-party content.
  • The developer makes no warranty as to the accuracy, legality, availability, or quality of any third-party content.
  • Copyright, licensing, and usage rights to podcast content belong to the respective publishers.
  • Your use of third-party content is subject to the terms and policies of those third parties.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes and in accordance with the terms of any podcast or content source you access through it. You will not:

  • Use the App to infringe any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right.
  • Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App except as permitted by applicable law.
  • Use the App in any manner that could disable, overburden, or impair any third-party service it interacts with.
  • Redistribute downloaded audio content in violation of the publisher’s rights.

6. Downloads and Offline Storage

The App downloads episode audio files to your device at your request for offline playback. You are responsible for managing device storage and for ensuring your use of downloaded content complies with the publisher’s terms.

7. Privacy

Your use of the App is also governed by the Privacy Policy. In short: the App collects no personal data and the developer operates no servers.

8. Updates and Availability

The developer may release updates from time to time but is under no obligation to do so. The App is provided as-is and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time without notice. Apple’s standard delivery mechanisms apply to all updates.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE. YOU USE THE APP AT YOUR OWN RISK.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEVELOPER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE APP. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE DEVELOPER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, OR USE, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

THE APP IS PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE. THE DEVELOPER RECEIVES NO PAYMENT OR CONSIDERATION FROM YOU IN EXCHANGE FOR THE APP. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS IN THESE TERMS REFLECT A REASONABLE ALLOCATION OF RISK AND ARE AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND THE DEVELOPER, WITHOUT WHICH THE APP WOULD NOT BE PROVIDED TO YOU.

IF, NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION DETERMINES THAT APPLICABLE LAW REQUIRES SOME REMEDY OR THE DEVELOPER MAY NOT FULLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY, THE DEVELOPER’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE APP SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE U.S. DOLLAR (USD $1.00).

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN DAMAGES; IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS THE DEVELOPER’S LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the developer from any claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your use of the App, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property right of a podcast publisher or content host.

12. Apple-Specific Terms

You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and the developer, not Apple, and that Apple is not responsible for the App or its contents. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will 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 a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

13. Termination

These Terms remain in effect until terminated. You may terminate at any time by uninstalling the App. The developer may terminate or suspend your right to use the App at any time, for any reason. Sections 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 14 survive termination.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the developer resides, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

15. Changes to These Terms

The developer may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by a revised effective date at the top of this document. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
