Terms of use
Last updated
These terms apply to everyone who uses AppTrendKit (apptrendkit.com), with or without an account, on the free plan or on Pro. AppTrendKit is run by Ahmad Bannout, Hakenort 17B, 33609 Bielefeld, Germany (“we”). By using the site you agree to them.
1. What AppTrendKit is
AppTrendKit is a research tool for the iOS App Store: chart positions, ratings, keywords and our own estimates of downloads and revenue.
- Free: part of the site can be used without an account, and a free account opens a few more pages each week. We may change what the free plan includes at any time.
- Pro is a paid subscription. What it includes is described on the pricing page when you subscribe.
We keep improving the service and may add, change or remove features. While you pay for Pro, we will not remove its main features (figures for every app, keyword data and the research tools) or make them substantially worse. Maintenance and outages can happen; we do not promise any particular availability. If Pro is unavailable for a considerable time through our fault, your statutory rights apply.
2. Our figures are estimates
Download and revenue figures are modelled estimates based on public App Store signals, not data from Apple or the developers. They can be far from the real numbers; how we estimate explains how they are made and how close they usually are. Keyword popularity and difficulty scores are our own estimates too. Pro gives you more estimates, not more certain ones.
Nothing on AppTrendKit is financial, investment, legal or business advice. Check important decisions against other sources.
3. Accounts
- You must be at least 18 years old to create an account.
- An account, and a Pro subscription, is for one person. Don't share your sign-in. Give a working e-mail address and keep your password to yourself; you are responsible for what happens in your account.
- If you think someone else has access to your account, change your password and tell us at [email protected].
4. The Pro subscription
Who sells it. Pro is sold through Stripe's Managed Payments service. At checkout you buy from Stripe's Link as reseller (shown as “Sold through Link”). Link takes your payment, issues your invoice, charges any VAT or sales tax and handles payment questions under its own terms, which you see and accept at checkout. We provide Pro to you under these terms.
Price. The price is the one shown on the pricing page and at checkout when you subscribe, in US dollars. It includes any VAT or sales tax that applies. Your bank may charge a fee for paying in a foreign currency.
Launch price. If you subscribe at a launch price (on the site: the founding price), you keep that price for as long as your subscription continues without a break, including every renewal.
Free trial. A workspace that has never had Pro can try it free for 7 days, once. You enter a payment method at checkout; nothing is charged during the trial. When the trial ends, the monthly or yearly plan you chose starts and the first payment is taken, unless you cancelled before the trial ended. When the trial starts you get an e-mail with the date it ends and how to cancel. If you cancel during the trial, Pro stays on until the trial ends and you are not charged.
Term and renewal. You choose monthly or yearly billing. The subscription starts when your payment goes through (with a free trial: when the trial ends) and renews automatically for the same period, charged at the start of each period, until you cancel.
Cancelling. You can cancel at any time under Account → Plan & billing → Cancel subscription, or by e-mail to [email protected]. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for: Pro stays on until then, and you are not charged again.
Failed payments. If a payment fails, Pro is paused until it is paid. If it still can't be collected after the retries, the subscription ends.
Price changes. We will not change the price of a running subscription without your agreement. If we want to change it, we tell you by e-mail at least 30 days before your next renewal. The new price applies only if you accept it; if you don't, your subscription ends at the end of the period you have paid for.
Refunds. Apart from your right of withdrawal (below) and where the law requires it, payments for a period that has started are not refunded. If you delete your account, a Pro subscription of a workspace that is deleted with it ends right away, and the rest of the period is not refunded.
5. Right of withdrawal for consumers
If you are a consumer, you have the right to withdraw from your Pro subscription within 14 days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is 14 days from the day the contract is concluded, which is the day you complete checkout.
To withdraw, tell us with a clear statement, for example by e-mail to [email protected] or by letter to Ahmad Bannout, Hakenort 17B, 33609 Bielefeld, Germany. You can use the model form below, but you don't have to. It is enough to send your statement before the 14 days are over.
What happens when you withdraw. We end your subscription and refund all payments you made for it without undue delay, and at the latest within 14 days of the day we receive your withdrawal. The refund goes back through Link to the payment method you used, at no cost to you.
Model withdrawal form (fill in and send it only if you want to withdraw):
To Ahmad Bannout, Hakenort 17B, 33609 Bielefeld, Germany, e-mail [email protected]:
I hereby withdraw from my contract for the following service: AppTrendKit Pro (monthly / yearly).
Ordered on: ______ Name: ______ E-mail address of the account: ______ Address: ______
Date: ______ Signature (only on paper): ______
6. Fair use
You may use AppTrendKit for your own research and work. You may not:
- copy or download data in bulk, or access the site with scrapers, bots or other automated tools, except search engines that follow our robots.txt and our API within its limits;
- resell, republish or offer our data or estimates as a dataset or as part of another service;
- try to get around access limits, break or test the site's security, or put an unreasonable load on it;
- use the service for anything unlawful, or to harass or harm others.
You may quote individual figures, for example in an article or a presentation, if you name AppTrendKit as the source and call the figure an estimate. Exports from Pro are for your own work.
7. Rights to content
The site, its texts, design, software, estimates and scores belong to us. App names, icons, screenshots and descriptions belong to their owners and are shown as published on the App Store. App Store is a trademark of Apple Inc.; AppTrendKit is not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple.
8. Liability
We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act, and where we have given a guarantee or fraudulently concealed a defect.
For slight negligence in Pro, we are liable only if we breach an essential obligation, meaning one that makes proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on which you may regularly rely. Our liability is then limited to the damage that was typical and foreseeable when the contract was made.
For the free service we are liable only for intent and gross negligence, apart from the cases in the first paragraph.
Because our figures are estimates (see above), we do not promise that any figure is accurate, and you remain responsible for the decisions you make with them.
9. Ending your use
You can stop using AppTrendKit and delete your account at any time under Account → Delete account. What is deleted and when is described in our privacy policy.
We may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms, for example by sharing a Pro sign-in or scraping data; where reasonable, we warn you first. If we close your account for this reason, payments already made are not refunded.
We may end the service, or Pro, with at least 30 days' notice by e-mail. We then refund the part of any payment that covers the time after the end.
10. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms, for example when we add features or the law changes. We tell signed-up users about changes by e-mail at least 30 days before they apply. For the free service, the new terms apply from then on; if you don't agree, you can delete your account before. For a running Pro subscription, changes to the price or to what Pro includes need your agreement; if you don't agree, your subscription continues on the old terms until the end of the period you have paid for and then ends.
11. Applicable law
German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of the country where you live. We are neither willing nor obliged to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
