Terms of Use

Last updated: 19 July 2026

These terms govern your use of Simplepush. By installing the app, using the command line tool, or calling the API, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

Definitions

Company, "we", "us" and "our" refer to Timm Schäuble, the operator of Simplepush.

Service means the Simplepush apps for iOS and Android, the command line tool, the API, and the website at https://simplepush.io.

Content means anything you send or receive through the Service, including notifications, tasks, replies, submissions, photos, voice notes, and files.

You means the person or organization using the Service.

What Simplepush is

Simplepush delivers push notifications and interactive tasks to your devices, and lets your devices send replies, files, and other data back. You can use it directly from the apps, or drive it from your own scripts and systems through the API.

The Service requires no account, no email address, and no password for personal use. Your installation registers itself and receives an identifier and an API token. Keep that token secret. Anyone who has it can send on your behalf and read what you receive.

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. If you use it on behalf of an organization, you confirm you are authorized to bind that organization to these terms.

Acceptable use

You are responsible for what you send through the Service. You agree not to use it to:

• Send unsolicited bulk messages, spam, or anything you have no right to send to the recipient.
• Distribute malware, or content that is unlawful, harassing, or infringes someone else's rights.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other users' data, or the underlying infrastructure.
• Circumvent quotas, rate limits, or the tier limits described below, including by registering installations in bulk to obtain additional free capacity.
• Place a load on the Service that impairs it for others.

We may apply rate limits, and we may suspend or terminate access that breaches these rules.

Your content

Your Content remains yours. We claim no ownership of it. We process it only to operate the Service, as described in our Privacy Policy.

You are responsible for having the rights to the Content you send, and for its lawfulness. Where you enable end to end encryption, we cannot inspect your Content at all, which makes your responsibility for it the only meaningful safeguard.

Availability and delivery

We work to keep the Service running, but we do not promise that it will be uninterrupted or error free, and we do not guarantee that any individual notification will be delivered, delivered on time, or delivered at all.

This matters, so we want to be explicit: push delivery depends on Google and Apple, on your device's network and power state, and on operating system behaviour we do not control. Do not rely on Simplepush as the sole channel for safety critical, medical, or emergency alerting.

We may change, suspend, or discontinue parts of the Service. If we discontinue a paid feature you are subscribed to, we will give reasonable notice.

Plans, limits, and stored data

The Service has a free tier and paid subscriptions. Current limits and prices are shown on our website and in the app.

On the free tier, uploaded files are deleted 30 days after upload. On a paid subscription there is no time limit, but when your storage pool is full the oldest files are removed to make room for new ones. Notification and task history is pruned after 3 months, keeping a minimum of the most recent entries.

In other words, the Service is not a backup or an archive. Keep your own copy of anything you need to retain.

Subscriptions and billing

Subscriptions are offered as:

• Simplepush Pro Monthly, subscription duration 1 month
• Simplepush Pro Yearly, subscription duration 1 year

Both grant the same features and differ only in billing period.

Where you subscribe through an app store, the following apply:

• Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google account at confirmation of purchase.
• The subscription renews automatically 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, at the price identified for the renewal.
• You can manage the subscription and turn off auto-renewal in your app store account settings. Uninstalling the app does not cancel it.
• Any unused portion of a free trial period, where offered, is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.

Refunds for app store purchases are handled by Apple or Google under their own policies, not by us. Organization plans are billed separately through Stripe.

If your subscription lapses, your account returns to the free tier, and the free tier limits, including the 30 day file retention, apply again to your stored data.

Right of withdrawal for consumers in the EU

If you are a consumer in the European Union, you generally have the right to withdraw from a distance contract within 14 days without giving a reason.

Subscriptions are a digital service supplied over time. If you withdraw during the 14 day period, you pay only for the proportion of the subscription period already elapsed, and the remainder is refunded. Where a one time supply of digital content is involved, the right of withdrawal expires when performance begins, if you have expressly consented to immediate performance and acknowledged the loss of the withdrawal right.

Where you purchase through an app store, the purchase is concluded and billed through that store, and its withdrawal and refund process applies. To exercise a withdrawal against us directly, a clear statement to hello@simplepu.sh is sufficient.

Termination

You can stop using the Service at any time. To have your data deleted, contact us as described in the Privacy Policy.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these terms, in particular the acceptable use rules. Where the breach is capable of remedy and the circumstances allow it, we will give you notice and an opportunity to remedy it first.

Liability

We are liable without limitation for damages caused intentionally or by gross negligence, for injury to life, body, or health, and where liability is mandatory by law, including under the German Product Liability Act.

In cases of slight negligence, we are liable only for breach of an obligation whose fulfilment is essential to the proper performance of this agreement and on whose fulfilment you may regularly rely. In that case our liability is limited to the damage that is foreseeable and typical for this kind of contract.

Any further liability is excluded.

Nothing in these terms limits your statutory rights as a consumer.

App Store terms

If you obtained the app from the Apple App Store, the following applies in addition:

• These terms are between you and us only, not with Apple. We, not Apple, are responsible for the app and its content.
• Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the app.
• 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. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the app.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims relating to the app, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to conform to a legal requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any third party claim that the app infringes that third party's intellectual property rights.
• You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a US government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any US government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third party beneficiaries of these terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right to enforce them against you.

If you obtained the app from Google Play, Google's terms apply to the distribution of the app, and these terms govern your use of the Service.

Intellectual property

The Service, its software, name, and logo are our property or that of our licensors. These terms do not grant you any right to use our trademarks. Open source components distributed with the Service remain under their own licenses.

Third party services

The Service links to and depends on services we do not operate, including Apple, Google, RevenueCat, and Stripe. We are not responsible for their content, terms, or practices.

Changes to these terms

We may modify these terms where there is a valid reason for doing so, for example changes in the law, changes in the Service's features, or closing gaps that have become apparent. We will not use changes to alter the core of what a paid subscription gives you during a period you have already paid for.

If a change is material, we will give at least 30 days' notice before it takes effect, through the app or on this page. If you do not accept a change, you can stop using the Service and, if you have a subscription, cancel it before the change takes effect. Continuing to use the Service after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the revised terms only where the change does not disadvantage you materially; otherwise we will ask for your express agreement.

Governing law and disputes

German law applies, excluding its conflict of law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, you also keep the protection of any mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence.

If you have a concern or dispute, please contact us first so we can try to resolve it directly. We are not obliged, and are not willing, to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

Severability

If any provision of these terms is or becomes invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. In place of the invalid provision, the statutory rules apply.
