By downloading, installing, or using RoofWard, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.
RoofWard is a tracker for recurring maintenance work on a home — a smoke alarm battery, a filter, the gutters, a heating service, the chimney sweep’s visit — with a free and a Premium tier:
The app records what you enter and reminds you of the dates you set. It does not determine when maintenance is due, does not establish that any inspection is legally required, and does not document that one took place; see Section 8.
The current price for Premium is shown in the app and in the Google Play Store listing before purchase.
All in-app purchases are processed through Google Play Billing. Payment processing and subscription management are subject to the applicable Google Play terms and refund policy. Your rights against us under applicable law, including any statutory right of withdrawal (see Section 4), remain unaffected.
If you are a consumer and applicable law grants you a right of withdrawal, you may generally withdraw from a qualifying purchase within 14 days.
The availability, scope, and possible early expiry of any right of withdrawal depend on the nature of the purchased digital product and the applicable law.
Where the legal requirements for an early expiry of the right of withdrawal are met, including any required express consent and acknowledgement by you, the right of withdrawal may expire before the end of the 14-day period.
Purchases are processed through Google Play Billing. Refund requests and payment-related processing are subject to Google’s applicable terms and refund procedures (see Section 3). This does not affect any mandatory statutory consumer rights you may have against us.
To exercise a statutory right of withdrawal against us, please contact us at the email address above.
Premium is offered as a recurring subscription. It renews automatically until cancelled. You can cancel at any time via Google Play (Play Store app → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions), which takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Cancelling does not retroactively refund the current billing period unless you are entitled to a withdrawal under Section 4.
RoofWard schedules reminder notifications locally on your device using Android’s standard scheduling mechanism, so that you can be reminded before a maintenance task is due. Delivery of these notifications is performed by the Android operating system on a best-effort basis. They may therefore be delivered later than the time you set, or not be delivered at all, for reasons outside our control – for example if the device is switched off, in a battery-saving or Doze state, if notifications or background activity are restricted for the app in the system settings, or if the manufacturer of your device applies its own battery-optimisation rules.
RoofWard therefore does not promise that a reminder will be delivered at any particular time, or at all. Please do not rely on it as your only safeguard for a deadline that matters to you.
This section describes how the app works; it does not limit any mandatory statutory rights you may have in relation to a defective digital product.
RoofWard stores the maintenance data you enter locally on your device and does not upload it to servers operated by the developer. The same applies to a document you attach to a logged job: the app keeps a copy of it in its own private storage. Please see our Privacy Policy for details on Android’s Auto Backup feature, which may back up this data to your Google Account.
Because your data is stored locally, we cannot guarantee that it will never be lost. Data may, for example, become unavailable or be lost if you uninstall the app, lose or replace your device, clear the app’s data, or otherwise remove locally stored data.
We recommend not relying on RoofWard as your sole record of the work done on your home, of warranty periods, or of other important information — keep the original invoices, service records and certificates issued to you as well.
This applies unchanged when you have attached a document in the app. The app merely stores a copy of a file; it does not check its contents, does not confirm them, and does not give them evidentiary weight. Such a copy is not legally valid proof towards a landlord, a housing management company, an insurer, a buyer, a chimney sweep, a building authority, a fire service, or any other public authority, and it replaces neither the original nor an official record or certificate such a party requires. Whether a document is accepted as proof is determined solely by that party’s requirements, not by this app. Please keep the originals independently of the app.
This section does not limit any mandatory statutory rights you may have in relation to a defective digital product.
For intent and gross negligence, we are liable without limitation.
Liability for slight negligence is excluded. This exclusion does not apply to:
This section does not limit your statutory rights in relation to a defective digital product under sections 327 et seq. of the German Civil Code (BGB), in particular your rights to have the product brought into conformity, to terminate the contract, to a price reduction, and to damages under the conditions set out there.
RoofWard is a personal record-keeping tool. It does not provide technical, safety-related, or legal advice.
The app ships a list of common maintenance tasks with suggested intervals, and it lets you set an interval of your own. These are convenience starting values that you are expected to adjust — they are not a statement that any work is due, and they are not an inspection or maintenance schedule. The app does not know your building, its age, its fittings, its manufacturers’ instructions, your tenancy or ownership arrangements, or where you live, and it makes no assessment of any of these.
In particular, the app does not establish any legal obligation. Smoke alarms in Germany are governed by the building code of the individual federal states (Landesbauordnungen). Those rules differ from state to state — in which rooms alarms are required, how and how often they are to be checked, and whether the duty falls on the owner or on the occupier. Comparable rules exist for chimney sweeping, heating systems, and electrical and gas installations, and they may also follow from a tenancy agreement, from a homeowners’ association resolution, or from an insurance policy. What applies to you follows from those rules and from the manufacturer’s instructions, never from this app.
A reminder shown by the app is therefore never a determination that work is due, and the absence of a reminder is never an indication that nothing is due. A logged entry is not a record of compliance and not evidence towards a landlord, an insurer, a chimney sweep, or an authority. Do not postpone or skip any inspection on the basis of this app. Where you are unsure what applies to your home, ask the responsible tradesperson, chimney sweep, or authority — do not consult this app.
Changing these Terms of Use and changing the app itself are two different things governed by different rules. Section 9.1 concerns the contractual terms, Section 9.2 the digital product. Section 9.3 concerns the updates we owe so that the app remains in conformity with the contract.
We may update these Terms of Use where reasonably necessary, for example due to changes in the app’s functionality, technical developments, or legal requirements.
Changes apply to future use of the app and future purchases. Where applicable law requires your consent for a change affecting an existing contractual relationship (for example, an active Premium subscription), we will only apply that change with your consent, or as otherwise permitted by law. Where required, we will notify you of material changes in an appropriate manner.
The current version of these Terms is always available via the link provided in the app and in the Play Store listing.
Premium is supplied to you as a digital product over a period of time. Changes that are necessary to maintain the app’s conformity with the contract during that period are made without requiring any separate basis.
Any change to the app going beyond that is made only under the conditions of section 327r of the German Civil Code (BGB). We hereby reserve the right to make such changes; they are made only if there is a valid reason, they cause you no additional cost, and we inform you about the change in a clear and comprehensible manner. Valid reasons are in particular:
If such a change adversely affects your access to the app or its usability by more than a negligible amount, we will inform you about it on a durable medium within a reasonable period before the change takes effect. We will tell you when the change takes effect, what it consists of, and that you have the right to terminate the contract free of charge within 30 days. That right to terminate does not apply where the adverse effect is merely negligible, or where we enable you to keep using the app unchanged and in conformity with the contract at no additional cost.
The free tier of the app is not supplied against payment; this section applies to it only to the extent that the statutory conditions for doing so are met.
During the relevant period we provide you with the updates that are necessary for the app to remain in conformity with the contract, security updates included. For Premium, the relevant period is the term of your subscription.
Updates are provided through Google Play, which also informs you when one is available. Inside the app, the “About” area carries a corresponding notice under “Updates”.
This obligation concerns maintaining conformity with the contract. It is not a promise that the app will receive new features.
If you do not install a provided update within a reasonable period, we are not liable for a defect resulting solely from that update being missing. This applies only where we have informed you about the availability of the update and about the consequences of not installing it, and where the failure to install is not due to deficient installation instructions.
These Terms are governed by German law, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Mandatory consumer-protection provisions of your country of residence remain unaffected.
