1. About These Terms
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of World Clock: Time Difference (the "App"), an Android application provided by the developer identified in its Google Play listing under the Krepel Studio brand ("Krepel Studio," "we," "us," or "our").
By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App. Your use of the App is also subject to applicable law and the relevant terms of Google Play.
These Terms apply only to World Clock: Time Difference (com.krepelstudio.worldclock), not to other Krepel Studio applications. The version, actual functionality, and any paid offers available to you are described in the App and its Google Play listing.
2. Purpose and Features of the App
The App helps you view local dates and times in cities around the world and compare time differences. Its agreed features include:
- Searching a local catalog of cities and viewing their current local time and date.
- Selecting cities and saving groups of clocks for quick access.
- Choosing an analog or digital clock display and available appearance, language, and haptic preferences.
- Comparing selected cities with a time-selection control and seeing the corresponding dates, local times, and time differences.
- Optionally displaying one selected information clock or saved group in the Android notification shade, subject to your access level and system settings.
- For Lifetime Pro, optionally scheduling one-time sound reminders for the local date and time of a selected city.
The App does not provide a meeting-booking service, personal cloud account, or calendar synchronization. Its city catalog is intended to provide broad geographical coverage, but it may not contain every settlement or every alternative spelling.
3. Permitted Use and Responsibilities
You may use the App for lawful personal or professional purposes consistent with its functionality and the applicable software license.
You agree not to use the App for unlawful or fraudulent activities, infringe the rights of others, interfere with the App or third-party systems, circumvent security or payment controls, or copy and redistribute protected parts of the App without authorization, except where permitted by applicable law or an applicable open-source license.
You are responsible for the cities, dates, and times you choose and for checking information that is important to you. Where applicable law requires parental or guardian consent, you must obtain it.
4. Free Features and Limits
The App is available as a free download. The Free version allows you to browse the available city catalog and check local dates and times without a fixed browsing limit.
Free users may save one active comparison group containing exactly two selected cities. The cities may be any two available cities; neither needs to be the user's current location. The existing group can be deleted and replaced with another two-city group without using up a lifetime creation allowance.
The Free version also includes one successful activation of an informational notification clock for one selected city. This trial activation is considered used after the notification clock has been successfully enabled. If you subsequently turn off or remove that notification, you cannot activate it again in the Free version. A denied permission or a failed activation that does not display the clock is not intended to use up the trial. While an already activated notification remains enabled, the App may allow you to change the selected city without starting a second notification.
Free users cannot save groups containing more than two cities, save additional simultaneous groups, or create one-time sound reminders. When a limit applies, the App may offer the option to purchase Lifetime Pro.
These limits are access rules for this particular App, not a subscription or automatic charge. No purchase is required to browse cities or view their local time.
5. Lifetime Pro and One-Time Purchase
Lifetime Pro is an optional one-time, non-consumable in-app purchase offered through Google Play Billing. It is not a recurring subscription.
While a valid Lifetime Pro entitlement is active, you can save an unlimited number of city groups, include any number of available cities in each group, use single-city groups, change or reactivate the notification clock without the Free trial limit, and access one-time sound reminders. Android allows only one persistent informational notification clock from the App at a time, including for Pro users.
The price and currency applicable to your purchase, including any taxes, are displayed in Google Play before you confirm payment. Google processes payment and provides purchase records under its applicable terms. A Lifetime Pro purchase applies to this App and does not automatically grant paid access to other Krepel Studio apps, other platforms, or separate products.
"Lifetime" refers to the ongoing non-subscription entitlement to the purchased features in this App, subject to valid purchase status, continued App availability, platform compatibility, and applicable consumer rights. It is not a promise that every future device or Android version will remain compatible indefinitely.
You may use the App's existing purchase-restore feature when eligible, or contact Krepel Studio for assistance with an unrecognized purchase. Krepel Studio does not receive your full payment-card details through the App.
6. Notifications, Reminders, and System Permissions
The optional information clock appears in Android's notification shade and is intended to be silent. It can show a selected city or, where your access level permits, a saved group of cities. The operating system controls notification layout and may limit how many city entries are visible.
Lifetime Pro users may choose a city, a future local date, and a local time to request a one-time reminder. The reminder automatically states that the selected local time has arrived; the App does not offer custom reminder notes or recurring appointments.
Notification and alarm features depend on Android versions, permissions, system settings, device power management, and background execution restrictions. The App may request notification permission and, for precise reminders, separate permission to schedule exact alarms. It may also use Android's boot-completed mechanism to restore eligible pending reminders after a device restart.
A reminder is not a guaranteed alarm service. A sound or notification may be delayed, suppressed, or unavailable if permissions are denied or revoked, the device is powered off, Android limits background execution, or the device is in silent or Do Not Disturb mode. The App does not override the operating system's restrictions. If an important action depends on an exact moment, use an additional reliable reminder or alarm as appropriate.
You may manage the relevant permissions and notification channels in Android settings. Basic city search and time comparison remain available without notification or alarm access.
7. Accuracy of Time and Time-Zone Information
The App uses the device's clock and available Android/IANA time-zone rules to calculate dates, times, and differences between cities. Government decisions, daylight saving changes, time-zone database updates, device settings, or an incorrect device clock can affect the result.
The time-of-day illustrations and day-to-night visual effects are intended to help explain local clock time. They do not necessarily represent the exact astronomical sunrise or sunset at a location and are not weather or astronomical forecasts.
Please verify time-sensitive or consequential arrangements independently when needed. These practical limitations do not exclude any warranty or other rights that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
8. Local Data and Backups
The App is designed to keep saved cities, clock groups, display preferences, notification selections, and reminder records on your device. It does not require a Krepel Studio account or its own cloud-synchronization service.
Depending on your device and Android backup settings, some eligible app data may be included in platform-managed backups. Uninstalling the App, clearing its data, changing devices, or platform backup behavior may affect the availability of saved settings and reminders. A Google Play purchase record is managed separately by Google.
You are responsible for managing information stored on your device. Krepel Studio remains responsible for any obligations and remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.
9. Advertising and Third-Party Services
World Clock: Time Difference is intended to be free from advertisements in both Free and Lifetime Pro. It does not offer an advertising-removal upgrade.
The App uses Android's operating-system features for clocks, time zones, notifications, and alarms; geographical reference information derived from GeoNames; and Google Play Billing for optional Pro purchases. Google Play, Android, and other independent providers may have their own terms and privacy practices.
Third-party services may change independently of the App. We are not responsible for independently operated third-party services to the extent permitted by law, while remaining responsible for the App wherever the law requires.
Links to third-party websites do not imply endorsement of everything on those sites.
10. Privacy
Our App-specific Privacy Policy explains local storage, permissions, optional Google Play purchase-related processing, support correspondence, and your choices.
Privacy Policy: https://sites.google.com/view/worldclocktimedifference/
Please review it before using optional permissions or making a purchase. These Terms do not replace the Privacy Policy or any legally required in-app notices or consent.
11. Refunds and Consumer Rights
Refund requests relating to Google Play purchases may be handled through Google Play or, where appropriate, through Krepel Studio. Eligibility depends on the purchase, Google's applicable procedures, the circumstances, and relevant law.
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes non-waivable consumer rights, including applicable rights to conformity, remedies for defective digital content, refunds, repair, replacement, price reduction, or other remedies provided by law. We do not impose a blanket "no refunds" rule where law provides a remedy.
For assistance, contact Krepelstudio@gmail.com with the App name and a description of the issue. Do not email passwords or full payment-card numbers.
12. Intellectual Property
The App and its protected code, design, graphics, branding, and other materials belong to their respective rights holders and may be protected by copyright, trademark, or other laws. Downloading the App or purchasing Pro grants you applicable rights to use the App but does not transfer ownership of its protected materials.
Geographical data and other third-party resources remain subject to their applicable licenses, including any attribution requirements. Nothing in these Terms overrides rights granted to you by applicable open-source licenses or mandatory law.
13. Availability, Updates, and Changes
We aim to keep the App functional and may release updates to fix defects, improve security or compatibility, and maintain services. App functionality may be affected by Android changes, Google Play availability, device hardware or software, and changes to time-zone rules.
We may modify available features or access arrangements where permitted by applicable law and the terms associated with a valid purchase. We will honor mandatory obligations relating to software updates, purchased digital content, and consumer remedies.
We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation or compatibility with every present or future device. Any disclaimer here applies only to the extent permitted by applicable law.
14. Ending Use and Access Restrictions
You may stop using the App at any time, including by uninstalling it. Uninstallation does not automatically delete Google Play purchase records or information held independently by Google.
Where permitted by law, access to features or services may be restricted when reasonably necessary to address misuse, security issues, legal requirements, or material violations of these Terms. Any action remains subject to applicable notice obligations and consumer protections.
15. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms if features, legal requirements, or the services relevant to the App change. The published Terms page will identify the effective date of the current version.
Where a change materially affects your rights, we will provide notice or options as required by applicable law. Changes do not remove rights already acquired or mandatory consumer protections.
16. Applicable Law, Complaints, and Disputes
These Terms are interpreted subject to the laws applicable to the App and your relationship with its developer. They do not prevent consumers from exercising mandatory rights under the laws of their country of residence, where applicable.
If you have a question or complaint, please contact us so we can try to resolve it. You remain free to contact a competent consumer authority, use available dispute-resolution procedures, or bring proceedings before a court with jurisdiction under applicable law.
