Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Wholistic mobile application (the "App") and related services provided by Popsicle Software ("we," "us," or "our"). By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

Last updated: July 22, 2026

1. Eligibility and Acceptance

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction) to use the App. By using the App, you represent that you meet this requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are using the App on behalf of an organization, you agree to these Terms on its behalf.

2. Description of the Service

Wholistic is a checklist application that lets you create reusable templates, generate event-specific working lists, set alerts, and organize recurring tasks such as packing, shopping, and event planning. The App does not require you to create an account; instead, a random anonymous identifier is assigned to your device to enable syncing and collaboration.

3. Your Content and Cloud Storage

The App allows you to create content such as lists, templates, categories, items, and notes ("User Content"). To provide syncing, backup, and collaboration features, we store your User Content on cloud infrastructure operated by third-party providers (currently Google Firebase/Firestore) on our behalf.

Ownership. You retain all rights to and ownership of your User Content. We do not claim ownership of anything you create.
License to operate the service. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, store, transmit, back up, and display your User Content solely for the purpose of operating and improving the App and providing its syncing and collaboration features to you and the people you share with.
Responsibility. You are solely responsible for your User Content and for ensuring you have the right to store and share it. You must not upload content that is unlawful, infringing, or violates the rights of others.
Availability. While we take reasonable measures to protect and back up your data, we do not guarantee that User Content will always be available or free from loss. You are encouraged to keep your own copies of important information.

Our handling of your data is further described in our Privacy Policy.

4. Sharing and Collaboration

The App lets you share lists and templates with others by generating a share code or link. Depending on how you configure sharing, others may collaborate in real time on the same content or receive a read-only copy to use independently.

Content you share may be viewed, and in the case of real-time collaboration edited, by anyone who has the share code or link. You are responsible for choosing whom you share with.
You are responsible for the content you contribute to shared lists and for your conduct when collaborating with others.
You may stop sharing or leave shared content at any time within the App. Deleting shared content is governed by the retention terms described in our Privacy Policy.

5. Subscriptions and In-App Purchases

The App offers an optional premium tier, Wholistic Plus, which unlocks additional features. Wholistic Plus is available through the following purchase options, sold as in-app purchases via the Apple App Store:

Monthly subscription — an auto-renewing subscription billed monthly (US $2.99, prices may vary by region), including a 1-week free trial for eligible users.
Annual subscription — an auto-renewing subscription billed yearly (US $23.99, prices may vary by region), including a 1-week free trial for eligible users.
Lifetime — a one-time, non-consumable purchase (US $44.99, prices may vary by region) that unlocks Wholistic Plus permanently and does not renew.

Billing, Renewal, and Cancellation

Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
Auto-renewing subscriptions automatically renew for the same period at the then-current price unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
You can manage or cancel your subscription, and turn off auto-renewal, in your Apple ID Account Settings after purchase. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

Free Trials

Free trials are available only to users who are eligible under Apple's rules and have not previously used a trial or introductory offer for the applicable subscription.
If you do not cancel before the free trial ends, your subscription will automatically begin and your Apple ID will be charged.
Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription, where applicable.

Refunds

All purchases are processed by Apple, and pricing, billing, refunds, and cancellations are handled in accordance with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. Except where required by law, purchases are non-refundable, and we do not directly process refunds. Refund requests must be made through Apple.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

Use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
Upload, store, or share content that is illegal, infringing, harmful, or violates the rights or privacy of others;
Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, interfere with, or gain unauthorized access to the App, its servers, or other users' data;
Use the App in a way that could disable, overburden, or impair its operation, or attempt to circumvent purchase or usage limits.

7. Intellectual Property

The App, including its design, software, text, graphics, and logos (excluding your User Content), is owned by Popsicle Software and is protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the App for its intended purpose. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the App except as permitted by these Terms.

8. Third-Party Services

The App relies on third-party services, including Google Firebase for cloud storage and syncing, and the Apple App Store for purchases. Your use of those services may be subject to their own terms and policies. We are not responsible for the practices of third parties.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

The App is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that data will not be lost.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Popsicle Software shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the App. Our total liability for any claim relating to the App shall not exceed the amount you paid us, if any, in the twelve months preceding the claim.

11. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the App or its services if you violate these Terms or if we discontinue the App. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including ownership, disclaimers, and limitations of liability — will survive.

12. Service Discontinuation and Lifetime Upgrade

The App may offer a one-time “lifetime” purchase that unlocks premium features on a non-expiring basis (“Lifetime Upgrade”). This section describes what happens to the App and to Lifetime Upgrade if we discontinue the App or any of its backend services.

Advance notice. If we decide to remove the App from the App Store or discontinue the cloud sync, sharing, or backend services that support the App, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide at least one hundred and eighty (180) days’ advance notice through in-app messaging, the App’s listing, or other reasonable means before doing so.
Removal from sale vs. discontinuation of function. Removing the App from the App Store (so it is no longer available for new downloads or purchases) does not, by itself, affect your ability to continue using a copy of the App already installed on your device. We will not intentionally disable or lock features you have already unlocked through a Lifetime Upgrade solely because the App has been removed from sale.
Backend and sync sunset. If we discontinue the servers or cloud infrastructure that power syncing or sharing, features dependent on connectivity to those servers (such as multi-device sync or shared lists) may stop working even for Lifetime Upgrade holders. Where reasonably feasible, we will aim to provide a transition path, such as a local-only or offline mode, so that previously purchased core features and your existing list data remain usable without connectivity.
No guarantee of perpetual online service. A Lifetime Upgrade entitles you to the App’s then-current premium features for as long as the App and its supporting services remain operational; it is not a guarantee that we will operate the App, or any particular server-dependent feature, indefinitely or forever.
Refunds. Purchases are billed and processed by Apple, and refunds are issued solely at Apple’s discretion under Apple’s own refund policies.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the updated Terms on this page and updating the "last updated" date. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Popsicle Software operates, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Nothing in these Terms limits any consumer rights that cannot be waived under applicable law.
