Terms of use

These terms are an agreement between you, an adult visitor to the Website, and Elma Studio AB, a Swedish limited liability company with its registered office at c/o Tim Schulz, Rönngatan 6, 211 47 Malmö, Sweden, company registration number 559600-5354 (“Elma Studio”, “we”, “us”).

By using the Website you accept these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the Website.

If you are using the Website on behalf of a company, you confirm that you are allowed to accept these terms for that company.

The Website tells you who we are and what we do: the apps we build and publish ourselves, and the app development work we take on for clients. It is an informational site.

It is not a shop. Nothing on it is for sale, no payment is taken, no account can be created, and no user content is hosted. Our own apps are downloaded and paid for through the Apple App Store and Google Play, never here.

Using one of our apps is governed by the terms and privacy policy published with that app’s store listing. Where an app’s own terms conflict with these, the app’s terms apply to the app.

The Website describes the work we do for clients, so a short section on it belongs here. Nothing on the Website is an offer or a binding quotation. Descriptions of services, scope, timelines, and prices are indicative only.

• Any engagement is governed by a separate written agreement, such as a signed proposal, statement of work, or contract. Where one exists, it governs our relationship and prevails over anything on the Website.
• Stores decide for themselves. We are not part of Apple, Google, or any app store and cannot promise that a store approves, lists, ranks, or earns from any app.
• Intellectual property in client work passes on payment. Rights in what we create for a client transfer to the client once the agreed fee has been paid in full. Until then we keep all rights. We keep the right to reuse our own tools, libraries, know-how, and pre-existing materials, and where those are built into a deliverable the client has a licence to use them as part of it.
• References. Unless the agreement says otherwise, we may name a client and show the finished app as a work reference.
• The client’s side. A client is responsible for the content and materials it gives us, for having the rights to them, and for making sure its product complies with applicable law and with store rules.
• Third-party costs (store fees, third-party services, licences) are the client’s unless the agreement says otherwise.

All content on the Website, including text, illustrations, logos, code, and the names and marks of Elma Studio AB and its products, belongs to Elma Studio AB or is used with permission, and is protected by copyright and trademark law.

You may read the Website, share links to it, and print pages for your own non-commercial use. You may not copy, republish, or use our content or marks commercially without our written permission. Nothing in these terms gives you any rights in client work we have done for others.

Please do not misuse the Website. In particular, do not:

• use it for anything unlawful;
• attempt to disrupt it, overload it, or gain unauthorised access to it or to the infrastructure delivering it;
• copy or scrape it at volume, or use automated tools to do so;
• misrepresent who you are, or send us contact details you have no right to use.

We may block access from any source that breaks this section or threatens the Website’s availability or security.

We aim to keep the Website available and accurate, but it is provided “as is”. We do not promise uninterrupted or error-free operation, and we may change, pause, or remove any part of the Website at any time.

Where the Website describes an app that is still in development, that description is not a commitment to release any particular feature, platform, or date, and it is not a promise that the app will be released at all.

Where the Website links to a site we do not control, we are not responsible for its content, its availability, or its practices. Check the terms and privacy policy of any third-party service before using it.

Nothing on the Website is legal, financial, tax, or other professional advice, and nothing on it should be relied on as such. If you need advice, speak to a qualified professional about your own situation.

To the extent permitted by law, Elma Studio AB is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, or data, arising from your use of the Website or from your inability to use it.

If you are using the Website as a business, our total liability for any claim relating to the Website is limited to 500 SEK.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer, and where mandatory consumer law gives you more than this section does, that law applies.

We may update these terms when the Website changes. We will update the date at the top when we do, and continued use of the Website after a change means you accept the updated terms.

If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest of them remain in force.

These terms are governed by Swedish law. If something goes wrong, please contact us first at info@elmastudio.co so we can try to resolve it.

If it cannot be resolved, the courts of Sweden have jurisdiction, with Malmö tingsrätt (Malmö District Court) as the court of first instance.

• If you are a consumer resident in the EU/EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, the choice of Swedish law does not take away the protection of the mandatory rules of your own country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in your own country’s courts where the law allows it.
• If you are a consumer in Sweden, you may also refer the dispute to Allmänna reklamationsnämnden (ARN) (arn.se). We are not obliged to take part in ARN proceedings, but we will consider doing so in good faith.
