Tribuno Terms of Service
A personal evidence organizer for Canadian condominium and strata disputes, with dated evidence, communication and fee records, tribunal-reference information, and deadline tracking.
1. Agreement and app license
These terms apply to your use of Tribuno (the “App”), published by the independent developer identified by Apple Developer Team ID ZM8LF8494F. By using the App you agree to these terms to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not agree, stop using it. Support and legal contact: captainlongevity@gmail.com.
The license for the App is governed by Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement. These terms explain the app service and purchases and supplement that license; they do not remove mandatory Apple terms or rights you have under applicable consumer law.
2. Purpose and limits
Tribuno provides personal records and general Canadian condominium/strata process references, not legal advice, an adjudication, or representation. It does not determine that a rule breach occurred, verify evidence, calculate a binding limitation date, or predict a tribunal outcome. Confirm current requirements and deadlines with the relevant tribunal and a qualified adviser. An exported PDF is not an application or an official tribunal document.
Reference information is bundled. Opening CAT, CRT, or other legal-help resources in a browser is optional and subject to that site’s privacy practices. The current deadline feature uses local notifications, rather than reading your calendar.
3. Free features and paid access
The free tier includes: One dispute with up to ten evidence entries, its communication log and fee-dispute ledger, and bundled reference information.
Tribuno offers Pro Annual or Pro Monthly auto-renewing subscriptions. Available products, regional availability, localized prices, billing period, and any introductory offer are shown in the app and Apple’s purchase confirmation. That confirmation controls the purchase; local development prices are not a promise of the current App Store price.
4. Paid features
Paid access unlocks the following features, subject to your device, permissions, and the limits described here:
- Unlimited disputes and evidence: Pro subscribers may record an unlimited number of condominium / strata disputes and an unlimited number of dated evidence entries (the free tier records one dispute with up to ten evidence entries). All entries are owner-supplied and stored locally; the app does not verify them, does not determine whether a rule breach occurred, and communicates with no condo corporation, strata council, property manager, or tribunal. Every dispute carries the same on-device features: a communication log and a fee-dispute ledger.
- Photo evidence attachments: Pro subscribers may attach photographs (taken with the camera or chosen from the photo library) to an evidence entry. Photos are stored locally on the entry within the app and are not automatically uploaded to a developer-operated service. User-chosen reports and Apple backups are separate. There is no separate photo gallery, file vault, or document import; photos exist only as attachments to an evidence entry.
- Tribunal evidence PDF: Files are generated on-device by PDFKit from data you entered. Documents are self-maintained records and are NOT official documents and are not a tribunal application. No data is transmitted during generation. Every page carries a reference-only disclaimer directing you to verify current requirements with a tribunal or qualified adviser. Professional services may charge fees; legal-aid eligibility and coverage vary.
- Limitation and AGM tracker: Tracks owner-entered limitation periods and meeting deadlines with local reminders via UserNotifications and a widget rendered on-device by WidgetKit via an App Group shared container. The reference content (CAT three-stage process, CRT process, provincial condominium and strata legislation) is bundled, drawn from publicly available sources as of the App Store release date; it is reference-only, not legal advice, and does not predict any tribunal outcome. The app does not lodge applications or communicate with any tribunal.
5. Billing, trials, restoration, and refunds
Subscriptions continue on a recurring basis until canceled. Apple charges your Apple Account and handles purchase confirmation and renewals. Review the price and renewal date in Apple’s purchase sheet before confirming. Cancel through your Apple subscription settings before the next renewal; deleting the app does not cancel billing.
An introductory free trial is available only when Apple confirms eligibility for the subscription group and an applicable offer exists. The updated paywall checks eligibility before presenting trial benefits; unknown or ineligible accounts use ordinary subscription language. Apple’s purchase sheet confirms the actual duration, localized price and billing period before payment. Unless canceled at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the subscription converts to the displayed paid plan. Trial access may end when canceled and follows Apple’s verified expiry or revocation. Older installed app versions may display earlier offer wording until updated.
Restore Purchases uses the Apple Account that made the eligible purchase. A subscription’s paid features depend on a valid entitlement. Cancellation does not by itself erase local records, but access can return to free-tier limits when paid access ends. Back up or save any records you need before removing the app.
Apple manages billing and refund requests: manage or cancel a subscription; request a refund. Applicable consumer remedies remain available.
6. Your records and responsibilities
You retain your rights in the content you enter. You are responsible for the accuracy of input values and dates and for having the right to record, copy, import, or share personal information, photographs, contracts, patterns, or other material. Do not use the app to fabricate evidence, infringe intellectual-property rights, or unlawfully collect information about others.
Check generated results and any document before relying on or sharing it. Reference material can become outdated. Local notifications and widgets are conveniences, not guaranteed delivery or monitoring services. Do not rely on an alert alone for a safety-critical action or legal deadline.
7. Storage, privacy, and sharing
Your journal is kept in local app storage, with no developer-operated account or journal-sync service. Device failure, deletion, or a storage problem can affect access. Apple backups may include app data according to your settings; we cannot restore a record from a developer-operated server.
Evidence PDFs are generated locally from your dispute details, dated evidence, communication log, disputed amounts and notes, owner-entered deadline notes, and attached photos that can be decoded for rendering. Original stored photo bytes are not replaced by generating a PDF. The PDF is a readable, unencrypted sharing copy, not a restorable archive, tribunal application or guarantee of accepted filing format. Verify current CAT or CRT requirements separately. Tribuno does not lodge an application or contact a corporation, council, property manager or tribunal.
The Tribuno Privacy Policy explains local records, optional permissions, Apple purchases, support correspondence, website hosting.
8. Third-party material and services
Apple’s purchase and system services, external references you open, and destinations you choose for sharing are governed by their own terms. Names of manufacturers, agencies, associations, designers, or products are used for factual reference; Tribuno is independent and does not claim endorsement or authority from them.
9. Availability and responsibility for outcomes
We aim to provide a useful app, but do not promise uninterrupted availability, error-free calculations, successful data recovery, or a particular tribunal or dispute outcome. To the extent permitted by law, the app and its reference information are provided as available without additional warranties beyond those required by law or stated in Apple’s applicable license.
To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for indirect or consequential losses arising from inaccurate inputs, reliance on estimates, missed reminders, unavailable third-party services, or lost local data. This clause does not exclude or limit liability where the law prohibits doing so, and does not waive statutory guarantees, refund rights, or other non-waivable consumer protections.
10. Updates and ending use
We may update the app and these terms to reflect changes in functionality or applicable requirements. The last-updated date identifies the current version of this page. Material changes will be made clear through the app or an appropriate notice when needed; an update does not retroactively remove mandatory consumer rights. You can stop using the app at any time. Cancel any subscription separately through Apple and manage local records and shared copies as needed.
11. Questions and disputes
Contact captainlongevity@gmail.com with the app name and a description of the issue. Please do not include unnecessary sensitive records. These terms do not impose a special foreign court, compulsory arbitration, or a waiver of remedies available under the laws that apply to you.
Deletion and retained records
After a successful save, deleting a dispute cascades to its evidence entries and stored photo copies, communications and fee records. Deleting an individual entry removes that entry and its stored photo copies, not the whole dispute. A failed database save is reported rather than treated as completed deletion. There is no Recently Deleted or full-record archive import. Original system-library media, previously shared PDFs, recipient copies and older backups are separate. Independently saved exports, original system media and earlier backups require separate management. A record deletion does not erase those copies.
When saved records cannot be opened
The updated App shows recovery guidance if its persistent database cannot be opened. It does not replace that database with an empty temporary store, erase the database, or start the normal database-dependent interface. Previously scheduled reminders, widget snapshots, independent exports and backups 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; publishing this document does not update an installed App.
Editing, photos and save failures
Dispute, evidence, communication and fee editors keep form changes in temporary memory until you choose Save. Cancel discards that form’s unsaved input without rolling back other pending records. A save failure shows an error and keeps the current form input available to retry; unsaved input is not a backup and can be lost when the App closes. New rows are inserted only when saving. The App does not generally prohibit legitimate in-memory previews or editing.
Camera images and system-selected photos are prepared in memory before acceptance into the form. If preparation fails, retry or discard the pending selection; failed preparation is not silently counted as a saved attachment. Existing and accepted photos are retained when paid access expires. Stored photo copies are within evidence entries, not a separate file vault. Discarding a draft does not erase the original photo in your system library.
Reminders use dates you entered, not a binding deadline calculation. Database-read failure retains the previous reminder plan or widget snapshot rather than replacing it with an assumed empty result. These may be stale; check the App and dates yourself. No calendar write, timer, shortcut or Live Activity is provided.
