Terms of Use
Last updated 31 August 2026 · Effective 31 August 2026
This describes the app as it actually is. It is not legal advice, and the liability and governing-law sections are worth a lawyer’s eye before you rely on them.
These terms are an agreement between you and Rishabh Tyagi, an individual based in New Delhi, India, trading as The Rising Drop (“we”, “us”) covering the Rising Drop app and this website. By creating an account or using the app, you accept them. If you do not, do not use the app.
The app
The Rising Drop is a personal record-keeping app: you mark your days, keep habits, and run challenges. It is a tool for keeping your own record and nothing more.
It is not medical, psychological, or professional advice. It does not diagnose or treat anything, and it is not a substitute for care from a qualified professional. If you are struggling, please talk to someone qualified to help.
Your account
- The app is rated 17+ and you must be at least 17 to use it.
- You sign in with Apple and set a PIN. Keep both to yourself — anything done through your account is treated as done by you.
- One account per person. Do not share it, sell it, or let someone else use it.
- Tell us promptly if you think someone else has access to your account.
Subscriptions and payment
Some features require a paid subscription. Purchases are made through the Apple App Store and are governed by Apple’s terms as well as these.
- Plans — three, exactly as they appear on the paywall: Monthly at USD 2.99 a month and Yearly at USD 19.99 a year, both auto-renewing subscriptions; and One payment at USD 39.00, which is bought once and never renews. Prices vary by country and are always shown in the App Store, in your own currency, before you buy.
- Free trial — one week free on the Monthly and Yearly plans, after which that plan bills unless you cancel first. One payment has no trial. The length that applies to you is always confirmed by the App Store before you buy, and any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
- Auto-renewal — the Monthly and Yearly plans renew automatically at the end of each period unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before it ends. Your Apple account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the period ending. One payment does not renew and has nothing to cancel.
- Managing and cancelling — you can manage or cancel a subscription in your device’s Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Cancelling stops the next renewal; it does not end the period you have already paid for, and you keep access until that period ends. We cannot cancel it for you, and deleting your account does not cancel it — the subscription belongs to the App Store, not to us, and keeps billing until you cancel it there.
- Refunds — purchases are handled by Apple, so refunds are Apple’s to give. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. Where consumer law in your country gives you a right to a refund, that right stands regardless of this paragraph.
- Price changes — if a price rises, Apple will tell you and ask you to agree before the next renewal.
What you may not do
- Break the law with it, or use it to harm anyone.
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or try to extract the source, except where the law says you may.
- Probe, scrape, overload, or interfere with the service, or work around its limits, authentication, or paywall.
- Resell, sublicense, or offer the service to others as your own.
- Upload anything unlawful into your record, or anything you do not have the right to hold.
Your content
What you write stays yours. You give us only the permission we need to store it, back it up, and show it back to you on your devices. We do not claim ownership and we do not use it to train anything. See the Privacy Policy for how it is handled.
Our content
The app, the website, the name The Rising Drop, and everything in them belong to us or our licensors. You get a personal, limited, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the app on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use, for as long as these terms are kept.
Availability
We try to keep the service running, but we do not promise it will always be available or error-free. We may change, suspend, or discontinue features. If we ever shut the service down, we will give you reasonable notice. You do not have to wait for that to take your record with you: Profile → Your data → Export my record hands you the whole thing as a file, at any time.
Ending it
You can stop at any time by deleting your account in the app. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, or where we are required to by law — with notice where we reasonably can. Closing an account does not refund a subscription period already paid for, unless the law requires it.
Disclaimers
To the fullest extent the law allows, the service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Some jurisdictions do not allow these exclusions, in which case they do not apply to you.
Liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost data or lost profits. Our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for the app in the 12 months before the claim, or USD 50. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected.
Apple
Apple is not a party to these terms and has no obligation to support or maintain the app. Apple is not responsible for any claim about the app, including product liability, failure to conform to a legal requirement, or consumer-protection claims — those are ours. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The date at the top will change, and for material changes we will tell you in the app before they take effect. Continuing to use the app after that means you accept the new terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of India, and disputes will be heard in the courts of New Delhi, India. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country you live in.
