Terms of Service
Last updated: June 15, 2026
By downloading, installing or using Stiva, including the Stiva mobile application (the "App"), the Stiva browser extension (the "Extension"), and the Stiva website at stiva.app (the "Website"), together the "Services", these Terms will automatically apply to you. You should therefore make sure that you read them carefully before using the Services. You are not allowed to copy or modify the Services, any part of them, or our trademarks in any way.
1. Description of Service and Scope
Stiva is a "read it later" service designed to help you save links and articles to read at a later time. It is offered through three components:
- The App, a mobile application that operates primarily offline, storing your saved content directly on your device.
- The Extension, a browser extension that acts as a bridge between your browser and your personal cloud storage (such as Dropbox or Google Drive): when you clip a link or article, it saves it to your own cloud, from which the App can later retrieve it.
- The Website, our website at stiva.app, including the waitlist.
Except where the context otherwise requires, references to "the App" in these Terms apply equally to the Extension and the Website.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age of digital consent in your country of residence, if higher, to use the Services. By using the Services, you confirm that you meet this requirement.
3. In-App Purchases
Stiva is offered as a one-time in-app purchase. By buying the App you receive a perpetual license to use the version available at the time of purchase, including any subsequent improvements and bug fixes released for that version.
- Payment: All transactions are processed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Payment will be charged to your store account at the confirmation of purchase.
- No Auto-Renewal: Stiva does not offer auto-renewable subscriptions. You will not be charged on a recurring basis for the App.
- Future Major Releases: From time to time we may release a new major version of Stiva. Major releases, if any, may be offered as an optional, separately paid upgrade and will never be charged automatically. You may continue to use the version you have purchased without buying any future upgrade.
- Refunds: We do not have the technical ability to process refunds directly. Any request for a refund must be made through the respective App Store (Apple or Google) and is subject to their specific refund policies.
- Price Changes: We reserve the right to change the price of the App or of any future paid upgrade at any time. Any price change will only apply to purchases made after the change becomes effective and will not affect features already unlocked by previous purchases.
- As-Is Purchase, No Guaranteed Updates: You purchase the App on the basis of the features available at the time of purchase, and your decision to buy should be based on what the App does at that moment, not on any expectation of future changes. While we may, at our sole discretion, release improvements and bug fixes for the version you have purchased, we do not commit to any specific number, frequency, scope or duration of such updates, and we make no guarantee that any particular bug will be fixed, feature added, or behaviour preserved. No statement made by us before, during or after your purchase (including on this website, in store listings or in marketing materials) shall be construed as a promise to deliver any specific update.
4. Data Responsibility and Backups
Because Stiva is an offline-first application, we do not store your saved links, articles, or tags on our servers.
- User Responsibility: All your data remains exclusively on your device. We are not responsible for any data loss caused by app uninstallation, device damage, or system failures.
- Manual Backups: The App may provide features to manually export your data. It is your sole responsibility to perform regular backups and store them securely.
5. User-Saved Content and Third-Party Rights
Stiva is a personal tool that lets you save and organise content created by third parties, such as articles and web pages.
- Your Responsibility: You are solely responsible for the content you choose to save and for ensuring that your use of such content complies with applicable copyright and other laws.
- No Rights Granted: Stiva does not grant you any rights in third-party content; it merely stores, for your personal use, content that you are otherwise entitled to access.
- No Hosting or Monitoring: We do not host, monitor, or have access to the content you save. It remains on your device or in your own cloud storage.
6. Intellectual Property
The App itself, and all the trademarks, copyright, database rights, and other intellectual property rights related to it, belong to Dario Tordoni. You may not attempt to extract the source code of the app, or translate the app into other languages or make derivative versions.
7. Service Updates and Compatibility
We constantly aim to improve the App, which means features may be added, removed, or modified. We do not guarantee that the App will remain compatible with your device's operating system version indefinitely. Your purchase grants you a license to the version of the App available at the time of purchase and to any subsequent improvements and bug fixes we may choose to release for that version; it does not guarantee the permanence of any specific feature, any minimum number, frequency or duration of updates, nor the release of any future major version.
End of Life for Older Versions. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to discontinue support for, or retire, any version of the App, including the version you purchased, with or without prior notice. Where reasonably practicable, we will endeavour to provide advance notice (typically 30 to 90 days) before retiring a version, but we are under no obligation to do so. A "perpetual license" as described in Section 3 grants you the right to use the App in accordance with these Terms; it does not guarantee the continued availability of the App on any app store platform, the ongoing functioning of any specific version on future operating systems, or any obligation on our part to maintain older versions alongside newer ones. Upon retirement of a version, we may, at our discretion, offer users the ability to upgrade to the current version, which may or may not be provided free of charge.
8. Disclaimer of Warranties
The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not guarantee that the app will be error-free or that access to it will be continuous or uninterrupted.
9. Limitation of Liability
In no event shall Dario Tordoni be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages (including, but not limited to, loss of data or links) arising out of the use or inability to use the App.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Dario Tordoni from and against any claims, damages, or expenses arising out of your use of the App or your violation of these Terms.
11. Termination
We may suspend or terminate the license granted to you under these Terms if you materially breach them, for example, by attempting to extract the source code of the App, creating derivative or translated versions, or infringing our intellectual property rights. Upon termination, you must stop using the Services and delete any copies in your possession. The provisions concerning Intellectual Property, User-Saved Content, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification and Governing Law survive any termination.
12. Apple App Store (iOS)
For the version of the App downloaded from the Apple App Store, the following additionally applies:
- These Terms are concluded solely between you and Dario Tordoni, and not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
- Your use of the App is also subject to Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Apple Standard EULA"), available at apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Apple Standard EULA in respect of your relationship with Apple, the Apple Standard EULA prevails.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and have the right to enforce them against you.
These Terms otherwise govern your use of the App, the Extension and the Website.
13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of Italy, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. The courts having jurisdiction over Foligno (Perugia), Italy, shall be competent for any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms.
Nothing in this Section deprives you, where you act as a consumer, of the protection afforded by the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence. If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, you retain the right to bring proceedings before the courts of your country of domicile, and may only be sued before those courts.
14. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. For minor or non-material changes, the updated version takes effect once posted on this page, and you are advised to review the page periodically. For material changes that affect your rights, we will take reasonable steps to provide advance notice, for example, through the App or this Website, before they take effect. Your continued use of the Services after a change becomes effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
15. General Provisions
- Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and, for iOS users, the Apple Standard EULA, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services and supersede any prior statements or communications, including any made on this website, in store listings or in marketing materials.
- Severability: If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
- Governing Language: These Terms may be made available in several languages. In the event of any discrepancy between versions, the English version prevails.
- Assignment: We may assign or transfer these Terms, for example, as part of a sale or transfer of the Stiva project, to a third party. You may not assign your rights under these Terms without our prior written consent.
- No Waiver: Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other provision.
