Terms of Use (EULA)
Last updated: October 7, 2026 · Effective: October 7, 2026
These terms replace the earlier per-app documents hosted on Google Docs.
Short version: you get a personal license to use our apps. Subscriptions are billed by Apple, renew automatically until you cancel, and are managed and refunded through Apple. Your files stay yours. Prices in PikPik and numbers in Step Counter are estimates. Nothing here takes away rights you have under consumer law where you live.
1. Agreement
These Terms of Use, which also serve as the End-User License Agreement («EULA» or «terms»), are a legal agreement between you and Tetiana Kalchenko, an independent developer trading as «Handy Apps» («we», «us» or «our»). They govern your use of:
- our iPhone apps Video Compressor, PikPik, Step Counter and Tono, including their extensions, widgets, Live Activities, updates and in-app purchases (each an «app», together the «apps»); and
- the website handyapps.app, including its guides and free tools (the «website»).
By downloading, installing or using an app, or using the website, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't install or use the apps. These terms also include any payment terms shown on the App Store page or in the app at the point of purchase. Use of the apps is also subject to the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and Apple's Usage Rules.
You confirm that you own or control the device on which you install an app and that you have the legal capacity to accept these terms.
Notice to consumers. Depending on the laws of the country where you live, you may have rights that cannot be waived or limited by an agreement like this one. Nothing in these terms limits those rights. If any provision is unenforceable against you, the rest of the terms remain in effect.
2. Eligibility and age
You must be at least 13 years old to use the apps and the website. If you are at least 13 but under the age of majority where you live (usually 18), please review these terms with a parent or legal guardian, who should agree to them on your behalf and approve any purchase.
Notice to parents and guardians. By allowing your child to download or use an app, you agree to these terms on the child's behalf and are responsible for supervising the child's use, including purchases. Apple's Ask to Buy and Screen Time let you control purchases. If you believe a child under 13 is using an app, contact us at support@handyapps.app.
3. License
Subject to these terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install and use the apps for your personal, non-commercial purposes on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
Where an app or a purchase supports it, it may also be used by other members of your Family Sharing group as Apple allows. Using the apps to process your own files for your work (for example compressing a video to send to a colleague) is personal use; reselling the apps' functions as a service is not.
The apps are licensed, not sold. We and our licensors keep all rights not expressly granted to you.
4. Restrictions
Except as permitted by law or by these terms, you must not:
- copy, rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, distribute or otherwise transfer the apps, or make them available over a network where they could be used by several people at once;
- modify, translate, adapt or create derivative works of the apps;
- decompile, reverse-engineer, disassemble or try to derive the source code of the apps, except to the extent the law expressly allows despite this restriction;
- remove, change or hide any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notice;
- bypass or try to bypass purchase checks, usage limits, or security features;
- use robots, scrapers or other automated means to access the apps, PikPik's card and price service or the website, or to collect their data, or interfere with their proper operation or put an unreasonable load on them;
- use the apps to infringe anyone's rights or to break any law, including copyright law;
- use the apps in any situation where failure could lead to death, injury or serious physical or environmental damage.
5. Subscriptions and in-app purchases
The apps are free to download. Some features require a paid subscription or a one-time in-app purchase (for example «Premium» or «Pro»).
5.1 Billing
- All purchases are made through the App Store and charged to your Apple ID payment method when you confirm the purchase. Apple processes the payment; we never see your payment details.
- The price, billing period and any trial or introductory offer are shown in the app before you buy. Prices may vary by country and may include taxes as determined by Apple.
5.2 Automatic renewal
- Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period (for example each week or year) at the then-current price, unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- If we change the price of a subscription, Apple will notify you in advance and, where required, ask for your consent before the new price applies.
5.3 Free trials
- Some subscriptions start with a free trial. When the trial ends, it automatically converts to a paid subscription and you are charged, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the trial.
- Each Apple ID is generally eligible for one trial or introductory offer per subscription group, as determined by Apple. If you buy a subscription during a trial, any unused part of the trial may end.
5.4 Managing and cancelling
- You can manage or cancel a subscription at any time in Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions on your iPhone, or in your Apple account settings in the App Store. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
- If you cancel, you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for.
- «Restore purchases» in each app restores purchases made with the same Apple ID.
5.5 Refunds
- Because payments are processed by Apple, refunds are handled by Apple under Apple's policies. You can request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. We cannot issue refunds or see your payment details ourselves.
- Except where Apple grants a refund or the law requires otherwise, payments are not refundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods.
5.6 Right of withdrawal (EU, EEA and UK consumers)
Digital content and services bought in the apps are supplied immediately after you confirm the purchase. To the extent permitted by law, by confirming the purchase you request immediate performance and acknowledge that you lose your statutory right of withdrawal once supply has begun. This does not affect your rights if the content is faulty or not as described, or any refund Apple offers under its own policies.
6. Free features and limits
Each app offers some features for free, sometimes with limits (for example a number of scans or conversions per day). We may change which features are free or paid, and the free limits, from time to time. If you have an active paid subscription or purchase, we won't take away the main features it was sold with during the period you have paid for; if we ever have to remove a paid feature, we will tell you and you can cancel or ask Apple for a refund.
7. Updates and availability
- We may release updates that fix bugs, add, change or remove features. Some features may require the latest version of the app or of iOS. You may need to install an update to keep using an app or a feature.
- We have no obligation to provide updates, support older versions or keep an app available in the App Store, and an app may stop working on older devices or iOS versions.
- You are responsible for the device, internet connection and mobile data plan you use with the apps. Your carrier's data charges may apply.
- We do not promise that the apps are available in every country or language, or that they work with every device or file. We may limit availability in some regions.
8. Your content
- Your files stay yours. The videos, audio, photos and other files you open in our apps («your content») remain yours. We don't claim ownership of them and we receive no rights in them.
- On-device processing. Video Compressor and Tono process your content on your iPhone and do not upload it. PikPik recognises cards on your iPhone and does not upload camera images. See the Privacy Policy for details.
- Your responsibility. You are responsible for making sure you have the right to use, convert, compress, edit and share the content you process with our apps. Tono is meant for files you already have — for example your own recordings or files you are allowed to use — and not for copying content from streaming services or in breach of copyright.
- Back up your data. Your collection, step history, library and other app data are stored on your device. Deleting an app, resetting your device or a device failure may delete them. Keep backups of files that matter to you; Video Compressor deletes originals only after you confirm in Apple's dialog.
- Feedback. If you send us ideas, suggestions or feedback, we may use them to improve the apps without any obligation to you. You keep any rights you have in what you sent, and we won't publish your name or message without your permission.
9. Third-party services, prices and estimates
9.1 Third-party services
The apps rely on services and content provided by others, such as Apple (App Store, iCloud, Photos, Apple Health), Google (Firebase, and AdMob ads in the free version of Step Counter), Adapty (subscriptions) and providers of card and market data for PikPik. Their services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party websites, ads, products or services that the apps link to or show, and any dealings you have with them are between you and them.
9.2 PikPik card data and prices
- Card information and market prices in PikPik come from third-party market data. Prices are estimates for information only. They may be delayed, incomplete or wrong, may differ by card condition, language, edition and region, and are not an offer to buy or sell.
- We do not guarantee the value of any card or collection, and PikPik is not financial, investment or appraisal advice. Check current listings or a professional grader before buying, selling or insuring cards.
- Card recognition is automatic and may make mistakes; check the result before relying on it.
- Pokémon is a trademark of Nintendo / The Pokémon Company. PikPik is not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by them. Card names and images are shown for identification only.
9.3 Step Counter figures
- Steps, distance, pace, calories, active time and other figures in Step Counter are estimates based on your device's sensors, Apple Health and the profile you enter, and may be inaccurate. GPS routes depend on signal quality.
- Step Counter is a general wellness app. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Talk to a doctor before starting a new exercise programme, and stop if you feel unwell. Pay attention to your surroundings and traffic while walking.
9.4 Website guides and tools
Guides and calculators on the website are written in good faith and tested on our devices, but app limits, iOS settings and third-party services change. They are general information, not professional advice; check before relying on a specific number.
10. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains what information the apps and the website process and why. It forms part of these terms. By using the apps you acknowledge that we and our service providers may collect technical data about your device and use of the apps as described there.
11. Intellectual property
The apps and the website, including their code, design, text, graphics, icons, sounds and documentation, are owned by Tetiana Kalchenko or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. «Handy Apps», «Video Compressor», «PikPik», «Step Counter», «Tono» and their logos and icons are our trade names and marks; you may not use them in a way that suggests a connection with us or that is likely to cause confusion, without our written permission. Other trademarks belong to their owners.
The apps include open-source components that are licensed under their own terms (for example Tono uses the LAME MP3 encoder, licensed under the GNU LGPL). Those licenses apply to those components and nothing in these terms restricts the rights they give you.
If you believe something in our apps or on the website infringes your copyright, email support@handyapps.app with: your contact details; a description of the work you claim is infringed; where the material is in the app or on the website; a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised; and a statement that your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner, with your physical or electronic signature.
12. Disclaimer of warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the apps and the website are provided «as is» and «as available», with all faults, and you use them at your own risk. We make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. In particular, we do not warrant that the apps will meet your needs, be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free, that results (such as compressed file sizes, converted audio, recognised cards, prices or step counts) will be accurate or reliable, or that defects will be corrected.
No software is completely secure. Information you process or share with the apps may be exposed to loss, interception or misuse beyond our control.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or of statutory rights for consumers. In those places, the exclusions above apply only to the extent permitted, and you keep the statutory rights you have — for example, in the EU and UK, the right to digital content that conforms to the contract.
13. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
- we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data or files, or business interruption, arising out of or related to the apps, the website or these terms — including loss of files during compression or conversion, decisions based on prices or estimates shown in the apps, unauthorised access to your device or data, or the conduct or content of third parties — even if we were told such damages were possible;
- our total liability to you for all claims arising out of or related to the apps, the website or these terms is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid for the app or subscription concerned in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, and (b) USD 50 (or the equivalent in your local currency).
These limitations apply whatever the legal basis of the claim (contract, tort including negligence, or otherwise), and even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose.
What we don't limit. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for intentional misconduct or gross negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including your statutory rights as a consumer. If you live in the EU or the UK, we are liable under the statutory provisions for foreseeable loss caused by our breach of these terms.
14. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to compensate us for reasonable losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from third-party claims caused by your intentional or negligent breach of these terms or your infringement of someone else's rights through your use of the apps — for example sharing content you had no right to share. This does not apply to the extent a loss was caused by us, and it does not apply if you are a consumer in a country whose law does not allow it.
15. Termination
- You can stop using an app at any time by deleting it. If you have a subscription, cancel it separately in your Apple ID settings (see section 5.4).
- Your license ends automatically if you materially breach these terms. We may also suspend or end access to an app, a feature or PikPik's card and price service if needed to comply with the law, to protect the service or other users, or if we discontinue the app. If we end a paid feature for reasons other than your breach, you can ask Apple for a refund of any prepaid period that has not been used.
- When your license ends, you must stop using the app and delete it. Sections 8 (feedback), 9, 11 to 14 and 16 to 18 continue to apply after termination.
16. Export controls
The apps may be subject to export control and sanctions laws of the United States, the European Union, Ukraine and other countries. You agree to comply with those laws and not to use or export the apps in breach of them. You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a comprehensive U.S. Government embargo or designated as «terrorist supporting», and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
U.S. Government end users. The apps are «commercial computer software» and related documentation provided with only the rights granted to all other users under these terms (48 C.F.R. §2.101, §12.212 and §227.7202, as applicable).
17. Governing law and disputes
- These terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them, the apps or the website are governed by the laws of Ukraine, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
- If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory consumer-protection laws of the country where you live.
- Disputes will be resolved by the competent courts of Ukraine. If you are a consumer, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of the country where you live, where your local law gives you that right.
- Before going to court, please contact us at support@handyapps.app — most issues can be solved by email. EU consumers can also use the EU's online dispute resolution information at consumer-redress.ec.europa.eu; we are not obliged and do not commit to take part in alternative dispute resolution proceedings.
- To the extent permitted by law, any claim must be brought within the limitation period under the governing law; where that law allows a contractual period, within three (3) years after the claim arose.
18. General terms
- Entire agreement. These terms, the Privacy Policy and any purchase terms shown in the app are the whole agreement between you and us about the apps and the website.
- Severability. If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the rest of the terms remain in effect.
- No waiver. If we don't enforce a provision right away, we don't give up our right to do so later.
- Assignment. You may not transfer your rights under these terms. We may transfer them, for example if the apps are transferred to another developer, provided your rights are not reduced.
- Third-party beneficiaries. Except for Apple as described in section 21, no one else has rights under these terms.
- Language. These terms are written in English. If we provide a translation, the English version prevails to the extent permitted by law.
- Events beyond our control. We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events outside our reasonable control, such as outages of third-party services, internet failures, war, natural disasters or acts of authorities.
19. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms when the apps, our services or the law change. We will change the «Last updated» date above and, if a change materially affects your rights or obligations, tell you by reasonable means — for example a message in the app or a notice on this website — before it takes effect. Changes don't apply retroactively. If you keep using the apps after a change takes effect, the updated terms apply; if you don't agree, stop using the apps and cancel any subscription.

21. Apple App Store terms
If you downloaded an app from the Apple App Store, you acknowledge and agree that:
- These terms are concluded between you and Tetiana Kalchenko only, and not with Apple Inc. («Apple»). Tetiana Kalchenko, not Apple, is solely responsible for the apps and their content.
- The license granted to you is limited to a non-transferable license to use the app on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules set out in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the app may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
- Apple has no obligation whatsoever to provide any maintenance and support services with respect to the apps. Support is provided by Tetiana Kalchenko at support@handyapps.app.
- In the event of any failure of an app to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the app (if any) to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the app, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the responsibility of Tetiana Kalchenko, to the extent not effectively disclaimed under these terms.
- Tetiana Kalchenko, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the app or your possession and use of it, including but not limited to: (a) product liability claims; (b) any claim that the app fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (c) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy or similar legislation, including in connection with the app's use of the HealthKit framework.
- In the event of any third-party claim that the app or your possession and use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, Tetiana Kalchenko, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of that claim, to the extent required by these terms.
- You represent and warrant that (a) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a «terrorist supporting» country; and (b) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms, and upon your acceptance of these terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
- Tetiana Kalchenko expressly authorises use of the apps by multiple users through Family Sharing or any similar functionality provided by Apple, where Family Sharing is enabled for the app or purchase.
You must also comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the apps (for example, your wireless data service agreement).
Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement is available at apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula. If there is a conflict between it and these terms regarding our apps, these terms apply to the extent permitted by Apple's rules.
