These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you ("you") and Furkan Kaynar, an independent developer ("we", "us", "our"), governing your use of the "Payee" iOS application and its widgets, Live Activity, and Apple Watch app (together, the "App").
By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
These Terms also incorporate Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Apple Standard EULA"), available at https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/. Where these Terms and the Apple Standard EULA differ, these Terms apply to the extent permitted, except that the Apple-specific terms in Section 14 always apply.
1. THE APP
Payee shows an estimate of your earnings accruing over time, based on the income and schedule information you enter, and lets you track sessions and view the result in widgets, a Live Activity, and on Apple Watch. The App works entirely on your device and does not require an account.
2. LICENSE
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download and use the App for your personal, non-commercial use on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as allowed by the Usage Rules in Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions and by these Terms. This license is a license, not a sale, of the App. We and our licensors keep all rights not expressly granted to you.
3. IMPORTANT: NOT FINANCIAL, TAX, OR ACCOUNTING ADVICE
Please read this carefully.
The App is provided for informational and motivational purposes only. The numbers it shows are ESTIMATES calculated from the inputs you provide, using a simplified model that spreads your stated income evenly across time.
- The optional "take-home" percentage is a single flat figure that you set yourself. It is NOT a tax calculation, NOT payroll, and NOT accounting. The App does not apply tax brackets, deductions, social contributions, or any real payroll logic.
- The "net" and "gross" wording is only a display label that you choose.
- The App does not connect to your employer, bank, or any payroll system, and it does not verify any figure you enter.
The App does not provide financial, tax, investment, legal, accounting, or employment advice, and nothing in the App should be relied on for any such purpose. Do not make financial, tax, employment, or legal decisions based on the App. For real advice about your income or taxes, consult a qualified professional. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no representation or warranty that any figure shown by the App is accurate, complete, or suitable for any purpose.
4. PRICE, PURCHASES, AND TIPS
The App is a paid app. The price is shown to you in the App Store before you buy, and the purchase is completed through Apple and your Apple Account.
The App also offers an optional "tip jar" of voluntary in-app purchases (for example, tips of approximately EUR 1, EUR 3, and EUR 5). Tips are:
- Completely optional. The App is fully usable without ever tipping.
- A way to support development only. Tips do NOT unlock any feature, content, subscription, or functionality. There is no paywall and no subscription.
- Consumable, meaning you may choose to tip again later.
All purchases and tips are processed by Apple. We do not handle your payment and do not store your payment details.
5. REFUNDS
Because purchases are made through the App Store, refunds are handled by Apple under Apple's policies, not by us. You can request a refund from Apple (for example, at https://reportaproblem.apple.com). Where you have mandatory refund or withdrawal rights under the consumer laws of your country, those rights continue to apply and nothing in these Terms limits them.
6. ACCEPTABLE USE
You agree not to:
- copy, modify, or create derivative works of the App except as allowed by law;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
- rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, or sublicense the App;
- remove or alter any proprietary notices; or
- use the App in any unlawful way or in violation of these Terms.
7. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The App, including its software, design, layout, text, graphics, the "Payee" name, and logo, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the license in Section 2, these Terms do not grant you any rights in our intellectual property.
8. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
The App relies on services from Apple (the App Store and payment processing) and RevenueCat, Inc. (purchase management for the tip jar). Your use of those services is also subject to their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services.
9. PRIVACY
Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, available at https://appgea.com/privacy. In short, your salary and earnings data stays on your device, and we run no analytics or tracking.
10. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that the figures it displays are accurate.
Nothing in this section affects mandatory statutory rights you may have as a consumer, including statutory warranty rights, which cannot be excluded or limited by law.
11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:
- We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, income, savings, or data, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the App, including any reliance on the figures it shows.
- Our total liability for any claim relating to the App is limited to the amount you paid for the App and any tips in the twelve (12) months before the claim.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for intent or gross negligence, and any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory law (including mandatory consumer protection and product liability law). For consumers resident in the European Union, your mandatory statutory rights remain fully unaffected by these Terms.
12. CHANGES TO THE APP AND TO THESE TERMS
We may update, change, or discontinue the App or any of its features at any time. We may also update these Terms; if we make a material change, we will update the "Last updated" date and post the revised Terms at the same address. Continued use of the App after a change means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the App and delete it.
13. TERM AND TERMINATION
These Terms apply for as long as you use the App. Your license ends automatically if you breach these Terms. You may end it at any time by deleting the App. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 3, 7, 10, 11, and 15) will survive.
14. APPLE-SPECIFIC TERMS (REQUIRED)
The following terms apply because the App is distributed through the Apple App Store. You and we acknowledge and agree:
a) Acknowledgement. These Terms are concluded between you and us only, and not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
b) Scope of License. The license granted to you is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
c) Maintenance and Support. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for any maintenance and support for the App. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support services.
d) Warranty. We are solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the App to you (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to a warranty are our sole responsibility.
e) Product Claims. We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession and/or use of it, including: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
f) Intellectual Property Rights. In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such claim.
g) Legal Compliance. You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
h) Developer Name and Address. Any questions, complaints, or claims about the App should be directed to us using the contact details in Section 16.
i) Third-Party Terms. You must comply with any applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App.
j) Third-Party Beneficiary. You and we acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
15. GOVERNING LAW
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of any mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you habitually reside, and you may also be able to bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence. Nothing in this section overrides the Apple-specific terms in Section 14.

17. MISCELLANEOUS
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of it. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the Apple Standard EULA, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App.
