Terms of use

1. Who we are

Sifrvault is offered by Dogac Akdag (trade name), Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK) 98037498, Kastanjestraat 13, 3235 VG Rockanje, the Netherlands, email [email protected]. In these terms that is “we”. By “you” we mean anyone who uses Sifrvault.

2. Applicability

These terms apply in addition to Apple’s standard terms for apps from the App Store (the Licensed Application End User License Agreement). If they contradict each other, Apple’s terms prevail as far as the App Store and the purchase are concerned.

3. Right of use

You get a personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use Sifrvault on the Apple devices you own or control, within the App Store rules. You may not decompile, modify or resell the app, except as far as the law allows.

4. Price and payment

Sifrvault is free to download. To add and edit items you need a license: a yearly license (€14.99 per year, with the first 14 days free) or a lifetime license (one-time, €39.99; temporarily €29.99 at launch). Both apply to all your Apple devices with the same Apple Account and can be shared through Family Sharing. Prices include VAT; the App Store shows the current price in your country and currency.

The yearly license renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the period in your Apple Account’s subscriptions. If you cancel during the trial, you pay nothing. Payment and any refunds go through the App Store, under Apple’s terms.

Without a valid license Sifrvault keeps working read-only: you can always view, copy, autofill and export your items. You never lose access to your own data.

5. Your responsibility

• You choose a strong master password and keep it secret.
• You protect your devices with a passcode and keep them up to date.
• You make an export of your vault every now and then and keep it safe, in case you forget your master password or lose access to iCloud.
• You only use Sifrvault for data you lawfully have access to.

6. No access for us, recovery by you

Your vault is encrypted on your device with a key only you can create. We have no access to your vault, your master password, your recovery key or your other keys. That’s why we can’t recover a forgotten master password or retrieve data. This is a deliberate property of Sifrvault, not a defect.

Sifrvault gives you two ways to regain access yourself: a recovery key with an emergency kit, and setting a new master password on a device where Face ID or Touch ID is turned on for Sifrvault. Making, storing and keeping your recovery key secret is your responsibility. Anyone who has your recovery key and access to your iCloud account can open your vault.

7. Availability

Syncing happens through Apple’s iCloud. We have no influence on the availability of iCloud, the App Store or the operating system. We do our best to keep Sifrvault working well with new versions of iOS, iPadOS and macOS, but we can’t guarantee that the app always works everywhere without interruption.

8. Liability

Our liability is limited to the amount you paid for Sifrvault in the twelve months before the damage. We are not liable for indirect damage, such as loss of data due to a forgotten master password, a lost device or the absence of an export. These limitations don’t apply in case of intent or deliberate recklessness on our part, and not as far as mandatory consumer law provides otherwise.

9. Intellectual property

The Sifrvault name, the emblem, the design and the software are ours. The data in your vault is yours.

10. Changes

We may change these terms, for example when adding new features. The date at the top shows when that last happened. We announce important changes in the app in advance.

11. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by Dutch law. Disputes are submitted to the competent court in the Rotterdam district, unless the law lets you as a consumer choose another court. If you have a complaint, please contact us first at [email protected]; we can often solve it together.
