Diarion Terms of Use
In short
Writing in Diarion takes a Diarion Base subscription. Reading your entries, making a backup and exporting them always work — with a subscription or without one. Your entries live only on your device, and the subscription state does not change that.
The subscription
- Three options of one subscription: monthly, every three months and yearly. All renew automatically.
- The price per period is shown in the app and in the App Store sheet before you confirm, in your storefront's currency. The longer options cost less than the same number of months; the discount the app shows is calculated from those prices.
- Apple processes the purchase through your Apple ID. The developer sees neither your payment method nor your payment details.
3 days free
If you have not used this subscription's free period before, the first 3 days cost nothing. This is Apple's introductory offer, and Apple keeps count of the days. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the free period ends, the period you chose starts automatically and is charged. Any unused part of the free period is forfeited if you buy a paid subscription before it ends.
Payment and renewal
- Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase, or at the end of the free period if you have one.
- The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. The next period is charged within 24 hours before it begins.
- If the price changes, Apple tells you in advance and, where its rules require, asks for your consent before the next charge.
How to cancel
On iPhone: Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Diarion. Or in the app: Settings → Data → Subscription → Manage subscription. After cancelling, access stays until the end of the period already paid for. Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription.
Refunds
Refunds are handled by Apple, not the developer: reportaproblem.apple.com. If Apple refunds a purchase, writing closes just as it does when a subscription ends.
On a new phone
The subscription belongs to your Apple ID, not to the device. On a new phone signed in with the same Apple ID, tap Settings → Data → Subscription → Restore purchases. Your entries move separately, with a backup, because no server holds them.
When the subscription ends
Diarion switches to read-only mode. Nothing is deleted.
- Stays open: reading every entry, the calendar, notes, lists, statistics on the data you have, search, PIN and biometrics, backup, export, restoring your own backup, theme and language.
- Closes: creating and editing entries. The daily reminder and habit reminders pause for that time and come back with the subscription.
For first-version users
If you installed Diarion 1.0 — before the app became paid — everything stays free for you for 90 days after your first launch of the paid version. The date it runs until is shown on the card on the home screen and in Settings → Data → Subscription. After it, writing takes a subscription on the usual terms, including the free days if you have not used them yet; reading, backup and export stay open always.
There is nothing to do: the app works it out on its own — from the first-version diary already on the device, or from the App Store's record of which version your Apple ID downloaded first. On a new phone with the same Apple ID it works the same way.
Licence
The app is licensed under Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement. These terms add to it where the subscription is concerned.
Your entries are yours to keep
Your entries exist only on your device and in the backups you make yourself. The developer has no access to them and cannot recover them after a lost phone or a deleted app. Make backups.
Changes
A new version is published at this same URL with a new effective date. The promise to first-version users will not be changed.
