Folkfire Terms of Use
The short version. Folkfire is free for up to three friends. Folkfire Plus, a subscription, gives your fire room for up to 12. Plus renews automatically until you cancel, and you can cancel any time in your App Store or Google Play subscriptions. If Plus ends, nothing is deleted.
These terms cover the Folkfire app for iPhone and Android. Folkfire is made and sold by Kerbyware LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company ("we", "us"). By using Folkfire you agree to these terms. How Folkfire handles your data is in the privacy policy.
If you got Folkfire from the App Store, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies.
What Folkfire is
Folkfire helps you keep in touch with a few close friends. It works offline and keeps everything on your phone. There's no account and no server. When you check in with someone, Folkfire opens your own texting app, WhatsApp or phone, and you send the message or make the call yourself.
Folkfire Plus
What it is
The free app has room for three friends at your fire. Folkfire Plus gives your fire room for up to 12. Everything else is the same with or without it.
Price and renewal
Plus comes as a yearly plan or a monthly plan. The price is the one shown in the app before you buy, in your currency as the App Store or Google Play list it. There is no free trial.
Plus renews automatically. Your App Store or Google Play account is charged the plan's price each year or each month, on the day your plan renews, until you cancel. Before a yearly plan renews, Folkfire reminds you twice, about 35 and 20 days ahead; for a monthly plan it reminds you once a year, about 30 days before the anniversary of when you subscribed. If notifications are off, the reminder shows in the app instead, the first time you open Folkfire in that window.
If the price of your plan changes, Apple or Google tells you first, and asks you to agree when their rules say so.
How to cancel
- iPhone: Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Folkfire, then Cancel Subscription. Or in Folkfire: Settings → Folkfire Plus → Manage subscription.
- Android: the Play Store app → your profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Folkfire, then Cancel subscription. Or in Folkfire: Settings → Folkfire Plus → Manage subscription.
To be sure Plus doesn't renew, cancel at least two days before the renewal date. Each reminder names the day, or, when the store hasn't shared the date, says where to find it.
Once you cancel, Plus stays on until the end of the period you've paid for, then ends. Deleting the app doesn't cancel Plus.
Refunds
On iPhone, Apple handles refunds: ask at reportaproblem.apple.com. On Android, ask Google Play from your order history, or write to us.
If you live in the European Union or the United Kingdom, the law may give you 14 days to withdraw from a purchase. Apple and Google handle a withdrawal the same way as a refund, under their own terms. Nothing in these terms takes away a refund or withdrawal right you have under the law where you live.
When Plus ends
Nothing is deleted. Three friends stay at the fire, the ones you were most recently in touch with, and everyone else rests: their history is kept and they get no reminders. You can choose who stays. If you get Plus again, everyone resting since it ended comes back as they were.
Using Folkfire
You need to be 13 or older to use Folkfire. Folkfire is for your own personal use. You're responsible for the messages you send, and for the contact details you add. Folkfire never sends anything to your friends on its own.
Your data lives on your phone. If you lose your phone or delete the app, your Folkfire data goes with it, unless your phone's own backup kept a copy. We have no copy to restore.
The app as it is
We provide Folkfire as it is. We can't promise it will always work, or that every reminder will arrive: reminders depend on your phone's notification settings.
As far as the law where you live allows, we make no promises about Folkfire beyond the ones in these terms, and we aren't responsible for indirect losses, or for anything caused by your phone, its settings or another app. If we are responsible for a loss, the most we owe you is what you paid for Folkfire Plus in the 12 months before it happened. Nothing here limits a responsibility the law doesn't let us limit, or takes away your rights as a consumer.
Changes
We may update these terms. We'll change the date at the top, and if a change matters to what you've paid for, we'll say so in the app before it applies.
The law that applies
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, USA. A dispute about them goes to the state or federal courts in Wake County, North Carolina. If you live outside the United States, you keep the protection of the consumer law where you live, and you can bring a claim in the courts there.
