Terms of Use

Last Updated: August 22, 2026

Please read these Terms of Use ("Terms") carefully before downloading or using the TickDown Lite mobile application (the "Service") operated by FutureTek Apps ("we", "us", or "our").

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using TickDown Lite, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you are not authorized to use the Service.

2. Nature of the App (Free, Ad-Supported)

TickDown Lite is a free application available on the Google Play Store and is supported by advertising.

• No Download Fee: The app is free to download and use for its core features.
• Advertising: The app displays third-party advertisements (see Section 6). Continued use of the app constitutes acceptance of the display of these advertisements.
• Optional In-App Purchase: You may make an optional one-time in-app purchase to remove advertisements and unlock premium benefits. This purchase is not required to use the app's core functionality.
• Transactions & Refunds: All financial transactions, including in-app purchases and refund requests, are handled exclusively by the Google Play Store in accordance with its Terms of Service and Refund Policy. We do not process payments or retain your payment card information.

3. License Grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download and use a copy of the application on a mobile device that you own or control solely for your personal, non-commercial use.

4. User Data and Backup Responsibility

TickDown Lite operates primarily as an offline, local-first application.

• Local Storage: Your events, tasks, categories, and settings are stored locally on your device. We do not transmit this content to our servers.
• Risk of Data Loss: You acknowledge that if your device is lost, damaged, reset, or if the app is uninstalled, your data will be permanently lost unless you have created a backup.
• Backup Responsibility: You are solely responsible for creating regular backups using the app's Backup & Restore feature and storing those files securely (such as Google Drive or other external storage). We are not liable for any loss of data.
• Google Drive Backup (Optional): TickDown Lite offers an optional feature, available with the premium unlock, that stores a backup of your data in your own Google Drive, inside a hidden application folder. If you enable it, you authorise the app to access only that folder. The backup is held in your Google Drive account, counts against your Google storage quota, and is subject to Google's terms and privacy policy. We do not operate a server for this feature and cannot access your backup. You remain responsible for maintaining backups, and we are not liable for data that is lost, corrupted, or made unavailable by your Google account, connectivity issues, or changes to Google's services.

5. Critical Disclaimer Regarding Notifications

• Technical Limitations: Factors outside our control, including battery optimization, Do Not Disturb mode, manufacturer-specific background restrictions, or operating system updates, may prevent reminders or notifications from being delivered as expected.
• Not for Critical Safety: You agree not to rely on TickDown Lite for situations where a missed reminder could result in physical harm, financial loss, or significant injury, such as medical reminders, medication schedules, or flight departures.

6. Advertising and Third-Party Services

To keep the app free, TickDown Lite displays advertisements provided by Google AdMob and, through mediation, additional advertising networks including Unity Ads and ironSource (Unity LevelPlay).

• Advertising partners may collect and process device information, including your Advertising ID, to serve and measure advertisements. Their handling of data is governed by their own privacy policies and terms.
• Where required by law, we request your consent for personalized advertising through Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP). You can change your consent choice at any time from the app's Privacy Settings.
• We are not responsible for the content of third-party advertisements or any websites or products linked from those advertisements.
• For complete details about how data is handled, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to misuse the Service. In particular, you agree that you will not:

• Interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to bypass the advertising or in-app purchase mechanisms.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or modify the application except where expressly permitted by applicable law.
• Use the Service for any unlawful or fraudulent purpose.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, FUTURETEK APPS DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, THAT IT WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FUTURETEK APPS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING DATA LOSS, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID THROUGH THE APP DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM; OR (B) TEN U.S. DOLLARS (USD $10.00).

10. Updates and Changes

We may provide updates, patches, or new versions of TickDown Lite at our discretion. We do not guarantee that the app will be supported indefinitely or that it will function on all future versions of the Android operating system.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
