Legal

Terms of use

Effective date: 2 October 2026 · Applies to TrainsCoding for iPad and Mac

These terms apply to the TrainsCoding app (“the app”) made by the developer of TrainsCoding (“we”, “us”). By downloading or using the app you agree to them. If a child uses the app, a parent, guardian or teacher accepts these terms on the child’s behalf.

1. Your licence to use the app

We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the app on Apple devices that you own or control, as allowed by the Usage Rules in Apple’s Media Services Terms and Conditions. That includes Family Sharing and use in a classroom on devices the school controls.

These terms add to Apple’s Licensed Application End User Licence Agreement (the “Standard EULA”). If the two differ, these terms apply to the extent the law allows.

2. Your projects

• The characters, trains and programs you create in the app (“your projects”) are yours. We claim no rights in them.
• Your projects are stored only on your device. We have no copy of them and cannot recover them if they are deleted or the device is lost. Your device’s own backup is the way to keep them safe.
• You are responsible for what you type into your projects, such as the text of speech bubbles.

3. What you may not do

You may not, and may not help anyone else to:

• copy, sell, rent, lend, sub-license or redistribute the app, except as Apple’s Usage Rules allow;
• decompile, reverse engineer or disassemble the app, or try to extract its source code, except where the law expressly allows it despite this restriction;
• extract, reuse or redistribute the app’s artwork, characters, music or sounds outside the app;
• remove or change any copyright or other notices in the app;
• use the app in a way that breaks any law.

4. Our content

The app and everything in it belong to us and are protected by copyright and other laws. That includes the software, the train-based programming language, the characters, artwork, music, sound effects and the name and mascot of TrainsCoding. Using the app does not give you any ownership of it. Screenshots and recordings of your own projects, for example for a lesson, a school project or sharing with family, are welcome.

5. Privacy

The app collects no data. Our privacy policy explains this in detail and forms part of these terms.

6. Updates and changes

We may release updates that add, change or remove features. Some updates may need a newer version of iPadOS or macOS. We are not obliged to provide updates, but where the law requires us to keep the app working as described, we will.

7. No warranty

The app is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no promises that the app will be free of errors or interruptions, or that it will suit a particular purpose. The app is a learning toy: programs built in it run inside the app only and should not be relied on for anything important.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for loss of data (including lost projects), arising from your use of, or inability to use, the app. Our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid for the app, if anything.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, for example for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for intent or gross negligence. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

9. Apple

These terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content, and has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it. If the app does not conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any. To the fullest extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app. Apple is not responsible for any claims relating to the app, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, consumer protection claims, or claims that the app infringes someone else’s intellectual property. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.

You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

10. Ending these terms

You can stop using the app at any time by deleting it. If you seriously breach these terms, your licence ends automatically, and you must stop using the app and delete it.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of [Poland]. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you may bring a claim in the courts of that country.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time, for example when the app gains new features. The effective date at the top shows when they last changed. If you keep using the app after a change, the updated terms apply.
