By downloading or using Sparkwell ("the app"), you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the app. The app is published by an independent iOS developer (Apple Developer Team ID ZM8LF8494F).
Sparkwell is an entertainment and lifestyle app: a deck of 290 original cards for couples, friends, and family, mixing conversation prompts with "micro-experiences" such as short in-the-moment rituals, a message to send someone, and zero-cost mini-date ideas. The cards are intended to spark conversation and shared moments. They are not therapy, counseling, medical, legal, or any other professional advice, and they are not a substitute for it. You decide what is appropriate to ask, share, or do with the people you are with.
Use the age rating shown on your regional App Store listing and applicable local requirements. The Romance category contains mild, non-explicit prompts for partners and is hidden by default unless enabled. By using the app you confirm you are old enough to do so in your jurisdiction.
Sparkwell is free to try with a sample of about 40 cards. The optional in-app purchase described below is a one-time, non-consumable purchase processed by Apple. There is no subscription, no auto-renewal, and no recurring charge. Purchases are subject to Apple's standard terms; pricing and availability are shown at the point of sale.
To restore a previous purchase on a new or reset device, use "Restore Purchase" on the unlock screen while signed in to the Apple ID used for the original purchase. Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies, not by the developer.
Sparkwell stores your favorites and reading progress only on your device, and does not automatically send card choices to a developer server. See the Privacy Policy for details. You are responsible for your own device backups; the developer cannot recover data stored only on your device.
The app is provided for personal, non-commercial use. You agree not to copy, redistribute, resell, or republish the card content, and not to reverse-engineer the app except to the extent permitted by law. The card content is original and is protected by intellectual-property rights owned by the developer.
The app is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the developer is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the app or from any conversation or activity it prompts. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.
These Terms may be updated as the app evolves; the "Last updated" date above will change accordingly. Material changes will be reflected in an app update. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised Terms.

The updated App pauses the normal record interface if its original persistent database cannot be opened, with an unavailable-records message and no blank production in-memory fallback. The App keeps the existing database and attachment files instead of treating a replacement as your archive. Database-dependent startup work in that interface is paused; previously scheduled reminders, widget snapshots or independent copies may remain.
Check available device storage, close and reopen the App, and contact support before deleting or reinstalling it. This recovery screen is not a backup, a repair guarantee or an automatic restoration of missing records. Older installed versions may behave differently until updated.
Favorite and seen-state changes are saved through checked database operations. A failure retains the previous state, shows a message and does not deliberately advance the deck as if the seen-state save succeeded. The bundled-card import strictly reads existing identifiers, adds missing cards in a checked operation, and retains existing card text, favorites and seen dates. Failed preparation can be retried rather than being marked complete with a partial catalog. Intentional preview/test memory stores remain writable. Audience, romance/filter preferences, reminder enablement, onboarding and purchase-access cache are stored separately in local preferences; these can be personal preferences even without a developer upload. Daily reminder enablement is saved before scheduling, and schedule/removal requests are serialized so an older addition does not revive a disabled reminder. A generic daily reminder is planned for 7 PM after permission; it contains no selected prompt or favorite. iOS can refuse, delay or retain a request, and an enabled preference is not proof of delivery. The system notification surface is separate from the App’s local store. Ordinary temporary deck position is not a complete backup. Restore Purchase restores eligible unlock access, not favorite history.
In the updated App, Restore Purchases asks Apple to synchronize purchase information, then checks eligible verified access. An unsuccessful check, a cancellation and a response without an active eligible purchase have different messages and can be retried. A failed or cancelled check is not a finding that you never purchased. Check the Apple Account used for the original purchase if access cannot be restored. Restore Purchases does not create a new purchase or recover your locally stored records. Older installed versions may show earlier feedback until updated.
