Terms of Service

Effective Date: August 12, 2026  ยท  Last Updated: October 11, 2026

Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using Sproutly ("the App"), operated by Fernway ("we," "our," or "us").

Sproutly is developed and operated by Craig Caldwell, an independent app developer based in the United Kingdom, trading as "Fernway." "Fernway" is a trading name only and is not a registered company or a separate legal entity. In these Terms, "Fernway," "we," "our," and "us" refer to Craig Caldwell operating as Fernway.

By downloading, installing, or using Sproutly, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By using Sproutly, you confirm that you are at least 13 years of age (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction) and agree to comply with these Terms.

2. License Grant

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use Sproutly on Apple devices that you own or control, subject to these Terms and the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.

This license does not allow you to:

3. Not a Medical Device

Sproutly is a general wellness tool intended to help you track fluid intake and build a hydration habit. It is not a medical device, and the hydration goals, activity-based adjustments, and any figures it shows you are estimates for general informational purposes only โ€” not medical advice. Sproutly is not a substitute for professional medical guidance. If you have a health condition, are pregnant or nursing, or have specific fluid-intake needs, consult a qualified healthcare professional before relying on Sproutly's suggestions.

4. Your Content

Any information you enter into Sproutly โ€” drink logs, custom drinks, reminders, profile details โ€” stays on your device and, if iCloud sync is on, in your own iCloud (and, if you opt in, syncs to your own Apple Health data). You retain full ownership and control of it. See our Privacy Policy for details.

5. Intellectual Property

Sproutly, including its design, code, features, content, and branding, is owned by Fernway and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. All trademarks and trade names used in the App are the property of Fernway or their respective owners.

6. Subscriptions and Purchases (Sproutly Pro)

Pricing

All prices are displayed in your local currency through the App Store. Prices may change with notice; existing subscribers will be notified before renewal at a new price.

Subscriptions

Free Trials

Where offered (currently, a 7-day free trial on the annual plan), the trial automatically converts to a paid subscription unless cancelled before the trial ends. Trial eligibility is determined by Apple and limited to one trial per subscription group per Apple ID.

Refunds

All purchases are processed and billed by Apple through the App Store. Refund requests must be submitted through Apple's support at reportaproblem.apple.com. We do not process payments or refunds directly, and have no access to your payment information.

What Sproutly Pro unlocks

Sproutly Pro removes limits on certain features (such as custom Quick Drinks, editing past entries, and additional Custom Reminders beyond the free tier). Core hydration tracking, Apple Health sync, and today's logging remain free without a subscription.

7. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to Sproutly at any time for violation of these Terms or conduct we determine is harmful to other users. You may stop using Sproutly at any time by deleting the App from your device, which also deletes its locally stored data (see our Privacy Policy).

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

SPROUTLY IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT DATA WILL NOT BE LOST.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, FERNWAY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF SPROUTLY.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE APP SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR SPROUTLY IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR ยฃ50 GBP, WHICHEVER IS GREATER. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES OR LIMITS LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD, OR ANY OTHER LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

10. Governing Law

Fernway is based in the United Kingdom. These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict of law principles, and the courts of England and Wales will have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute โ€” except where local consumer-protection law in your own country of residence gives you the right to bring proceedings in your local courts instead, which these Terms do not take away.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We'll update the "Last Updated" date above, and for material changes, we'll note it within the App. Continued use of Sproutly after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms.

12. Apple App Store Additional Terms

The following terms apply because you obtained Sproutly through Apple's App Store. If any of these terms conflict with the rest of these Terms, these terms control, but only with respect to Sproutly as obtained through the App Store.
