1. Acceptance and Scope

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Breadcrumbs Travel Tracker and Journal mobile application (“App”) or the website at https://breadcrumbsjournal.com (“Site”), you agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”).

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Missing Link Dev, a sole proprietorship based in the State of Idaho, United States, operating under the business name “Missing Link Dev” (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App or Site.

These Terms apply to all versions of the App on iOS (Apple App Store) and Android (Google Play Store) and to any future platform releases. Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

2. Eligibility

2.1 Age Requirement

You must be at least 16 years of age to use the App. If you are under 16, you are not permitted to use the App regardless of parental consent. If you are at least 16 but under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you represent that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

We do not knowingly permit use of the App by anyone under 16. If we become aware that a user is under 16, we will terminate the account and delete associated data.

2.2 Legal Capacity

You represent that you have full legal capacity to enter into a binding contract and are not barred from doing so under applicable law.

2.3 Geographic Restrictions

The App is available globally. However, we make no representation that the App is appropriate or available in all locations. You are responsible for compliance with local laws where you use the App.

3. Account Creation and Security

Access to the App requires signing in with a Google account. By signing in, you authorize us to receive your Google profile information (name, email address, and profile photo) as described in our Privacy Policy. We do not store your Google password.

Accounts are personal and non-transferable. You may not create an account on behalf of another person without authorization, or operate multiple accounts to circumvent any restriction or suspension.

You may delete your account at any time through Settings → Delete Account in the App. Deletion is irreversible and will permanently remove your account, all Breadcrumbs, photos, videos, journal entries, and associated data as described in our Privacy Policy.

4. License to Use the App

4.3 App Store Terms

The App is distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Your use of the App is also subject to the applicable store’s terms of service.

5. Your Content and License Grant

5.1 Ownership

You retain full ownership of all Breadcrumbs, journal entries, photos, videos, text, and other content you create, upload, or submit through the App (“User Content”). These Terms do not transfer any ownership of your User Content to us.

5.2 License Grant to Us

By submitting User Content through the App, you grant Missing Link Dev a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, transmit, and process your User Content solely for the purpose of operating and providing the App to you. This includes:

Storing your content on our servers and sub-processors’ infrastructure
Displaying your content to you within the App
Generating data export archives on your request
Transmitting thumbnails or previews for in-app display

This license is limited to operating the App for you. We do not use your User Content for advertising, training AI models, or any purpose beyond providing the service.

This license terminates when you delete the relevant content or your account, subject to the retention limitations described in our Privacy Policy.

5.3 Your Representations

By submitting User Content, you represent and warrant that:

You own the content or have all rights and permissions necessary to grant the license above
Your content does not infringe any third-party intellectual property, privacy, or other rights
Your content complies with these Terms and all applicable laws

5.4 No Obligation to Review

We have no obligation to pre-screen, monitor, or review User Content. However, we reserve the right (but not the obligation) to remove or disable content that violates these Terms.

Upload, post, or transmit content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, invasive of privacy, or otherwise objectionable

7. Subscriptions, In-App Purchases, and Billing

7.1 Free Tier

The App is available for free with the following limitations:

Advertisements: Banner ads powered by Google AdMob are displayed in the free tier
Per-photo size: 2 MB maximum per image
Per-Breadcrumb media: Up to 5 photos per Breadcrumb
Total cloud storage: 2 GB across your account
Sync: Cross-device synchronization may be limited on the free tier

7.2 Pro Subscription

The Pro tier removes ads, increases storage limits to 1 TB, enables full cross-device sync, and unlocks export features. Pro is available as:

Monthly or annual auto-renewing subscription managed by the App Store (Apple) or Play Store (Google) at the prices displayed in the App at the time of purchase
Lifetime purchase (one-time, non-recurring) at the price displayed in the App at the time of purchase

7.3 Auto-Renewal Disclosure (Apple App Store)

The following disclosure is required by Apple:

Subscription to Breadcrumbs Pro automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel your subscription in your App Store Account Settings. Turning off auto-renewal does not cancel your current subscription period.

7.4 Auto-Renewal Disclosure (Google Play)

Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date. You can manage and cancel your subscription through the Google Play Store.

7.5 Lifetime Purchase

The lifetime purchase grants you Pro-tier access tied to your account for as long as the App remains available. The lifetime purchase is:

Non-transferable — it is tied to your account and cannot be moved to another account
Non-refundable after the applicable store refund window (see Section 7.7)
Subject to the continued operation of the App; in the event we discontinue the App, we will provide reasonable notice (see Section 15)

The launch pricing (“Early Adopter Lifetime”) may be time-limited. The App reflects the current pricing at the time of purchase.

7.6 Storage Quota and Media Compression

Free tier: Media uploads are subject to a 2 MB per-photo limit, up to 5 photos per Breadcrumb, and a 2 GB total cloud storage cap. If you exceed these limits, uploads will fail with a quota error.

Pro tier: 1 TB total storage. If your storage usage exceeds 1 TB, additional uploads will be blocked until you free space.

Subscription lapse: If your Pro subscription expires (including if you cancel a recurring subscription), your account reverts to the free tier. If your account remains on the free tier for more than 30 days following expiration, your photos and videos will be permanently re-compressed to free-tier quality. This compression is irreversible and will not be undone if you subsequently re-subscribe or purchase a lifetime license. The original files are deleted. We will provide in-app and email notice before this compression occurs.

7.7 Refunds and Billing Disputes

Subscription and in-app purchase refunds are processed by Apple or Google according to their respective refund policies. We do not directly process refund requests for purchases made through the App Store or Play Store. Please contact the relevant store:

Apple: https://support.apple.com/billing
Google Play: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2479637

We do not offer additional goodwill refunds beyond the store refund window.

7.8 Price Changes

We may change subscription prices at any time. Price changes take effect at your next renewal period, with notice provided through the applicable store. Existing subscribers are not immediately affected.

7.9 Taxes

Apple and Google collect and remit applicable taxes (VAT, GST, sales tax) in most jurisdictions. Prices displayed in the App may or may not include applicable taxes depending on your region and the store’s tax handling.

7.10 Restoring Purchases

If you reinstall the App or switch devices, you may restore your previous Pro purchase through Settings → Restore Purchases. If you have difficulty restoring a purchase, contact [email protected].

8. Intellectual Property

8.1 Our Intellectual Property

The App, Site, and all associated content created by us — including software, design, graphics, logos, the “Breadcrumbs” name and brand, and documentation — are the property of Missing Link Dev and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any rights in our intellectual property except the limited license in Section 4.

8.2 Feedback

If you submit feedback, bug reports, or suggestions to us, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use and incorporate that feedback into the App or other products without any obligation to you.

9. Privacy

Your use of the App is subject to our Privacy Policy, available at https://breadcrumbsjournal.com/privacy-policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the App, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the Privacy Policy.

11. Updates and Forced Upgrades

We may release updates to the App from time to time. We reserve the right to require you to install an updated version of the App to continue using the service. If a minimum version requirement is in place and you decline to update, you may lose access to the App until you install the required version.

12. Termination and Suspension

12.1 Termination by You

You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time. See Section 3.4 for account deletion instructions.

12.2 Termination or Suspension by Us

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App immediately and without prior notice if:

You breach any provision of these Terms
We are required to do so by law
Your conduct poses a risk to the security, integrity, or reputation of the App or other users
You provide false information to us
You engage in fraudulent or abusive activity

We will provide advance notice where reasonably practicable, except where immediate action is necessary to protect the service or others.

12.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination, your license to use the App ends. We will retain and delete your data as described in the Privacy Policy. Termination does not entitle you to a refund of any paid subscription fees, except as required by law or applicable store refund policies.

Sections 5 (your representations), 8 (intellectual property), 13 (disclaimers), 14 (limitation of liability), 15 (indemnification), and 16 (governing law) survive termination.

13. Disclaimers and Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MISSING LINK DEV DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION:

IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT
THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR COMPLETELY SECURE
THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED
THAT THE APP OR ITS SERVERS ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR HARMFUL COMPONENTS
THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY MAP DATA, LOCATION INFORMATION, OR OTHER CONTENT DISPLAYED IN THE APP

You acknowledge that GPS and mapping data is inherently imprecise and that location features are provided for convenience only. You should not rely solely on the App for navigation or safety-critical decisions.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:

IN NO EVENT WILL MISSING LINK DEV, ITS OWNER, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY:

INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES
LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS
COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES
DAMAGES ARISING FROM LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF USER CONTENT

ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (a) THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY YOU TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (b) US$50.00.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liability. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law. If you are a consumer in the EEA or UK, nothing in these Terms limits any non-excludable statutory consumer rights you may have.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Missing Link Dev, its owner, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to:

Your use of the App
Your User Content
Your violation of these Terms
Your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property or privacy right
Your violation of any applicable law

16. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

16.1 Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of the State of Idaho, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

If you are a consumer resident in the EEA or UK, nothing in this section deprives you of any mandatory consumer law protections afforded by the law of your country of habitual residence.

16.2 Informal Resolution

Before initiating formal legal proceedings, you agree to contact us at [email protected] and attempt to resolve any dispute informally for at least 30 days.

16.3 Binding Arbitration (US Users)

If informal resolution fails, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App (other than small claims court actions) will be resolved by binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in effect at the time of the claim. The arbitration will be conducted in Idaho or, at your election, by telephone or written submission. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding.

This arbitration agreement does not preclude you from seeking relief in small claims court for claims within that court’s jurisdiction.

16.4 Class Action Waiver

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Claims must be brought on an individual basis only. This waiver is a material term; if it is found unenforceable, the entire arbitration agreement in Section 16.3 is void.

16.5 Non-US Users

If you are located outside the United States and are not subject to the arbitration clause, disputes will be resolved in the courts of competent jurisdiction in Idaho, subject to any mandatory jurisdictional rules that apply in your country.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes:

We will update the version number and effective date at the top of this document
We will display an in-app prompt requiring you to review and accept the updated Terms before continuing to use the App
We will send an email notification to your registered address for significant changes

If you do not accept the updated Terms, you must stop using the App and may delete your account. Your continued use of the App after accepting updated Terms constitutes acceptance.

18. Miscellaneous

Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App and supersede all prior agreements
Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force
Waiver: Our failure to enforce any provision does not constitute a waiver of that provision
Assignment: You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our written consent. We may assign our rights in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets
Force Majeure: We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control
Language: These Terms are written in English. Translations, if provided, are for convenience only; the English version controls
