App: Comma — EPUB & PDF Reader Developer: Saleh Kayyali (“we”, “us”, “our”) Last Updated: June 2026 Effective Date: June 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and the Developer governing your use of the Comma app (“App”). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

This App is licensed, not sold, to you.

1. License

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, as permitted by the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and the Usage Rules of the App Store. This license is for your personal, non-commercial use.

You may not: copy (except as permitted by this license), modify, reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, or sublicense the App, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law.

2. Your Content and Imported Files

  • You are responsible for the books and files you import. You represent that you have the right to use any EPUB or PDF files you add to the App. Do not import content that infringes others’ intellectual property or violates any law.
  • The App is a reader; we do not provide, host, or sell books. We have no control over and accept no responsibility for the content of files you import.
  • Your data belongs to you. Highlights, notes, excerpts, categories, reading positions, and settings you create are yours. We do not access them. See our Privacy Policy for how data is stored (on your device, and optionally in your private iCloud).

3. In-App Purchases (Comma Pro)

  • The App offers Comma Pro, a one-time purchase that unlocks premium features (including iCloud Sync and Offload). It is not a subscription — there is no recurring billing.
  • All purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store and are subject to Apple’s terms. We do not receive your payment information.
  • Comma Pro can be restored on your devices via the App’s restore function, subject to Apple’s Usage Rules.
  • Eligibility for refunds is determined by Apple under the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions; we do not process refunds directly.

4. iCloud Sync

iCloud Sync is an optional feature that stores your data in your own private iCloud account via Apple’s CloudKit. It requires an Apple ID and an active iCloud account, and depends on Apple’s services and your network connection. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the availability, reliability, or content of Apple’s iCloud services. Sync is provided on an “as is” basis.

5. Apple Intelligence / AI Output

Optional AI features (categorization, chapter summaries, text explanations) run on-device using Apple’s models. AI-generated output may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable for any particular purpose. Do not rely on it as professional, medical, legal, financial, or other expert advice. You are responsible for evaluating the output.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the App to: violate any law or third-party right; infringe copyright or other intellectual property; or attempt to disrupt, attack, or gain unauthorized access to the App or any service it relies on.

7. Intellectual Property

The App, including its software, design, and branding (excluding your imported content and Apple/third-party components), is owned by the Developer and protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the license granted above, no rights are transferred to you.

The App uses open-source components (Readium Swift Toolkit — BSD-3-Clause; GRDB.swift — MIT), used under their respective licenses.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DATA (INCLUDING SYNCED DATA) WILL NEVER BE LOST. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING BACKUPS OF YOUR FILES AND DATA.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEVELOPER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE APP. WHERE LIABILITY CANNOT BE EXCLUDED, IT IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP (IF ANY) IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

10. Termination

This license is effective until terminated. It terminates automatically if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, you must stop using the App and delete it. Sections that by their nature should survive (e.g., 2, 7, 8, 9, 11) survive termination.

11. Apple-Specific Terms

These terms apply because the App is distributed via the Apple App Store:

  1. Acknowledgement. These Terms are between you and the Developer only, not Apple. The Developer, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content.
  2. Scope of License. The license is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on Apple-branded products you own or control, per the App Store Usage Rules.
  3. Maintenance and Support. The Developer is solely responsible for any maintenance and support; Apple has no obligation to provide any.
  4. Warranty. The Developer is solely responsible for any product warranties, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation.
  5. Product Claims. The Developer, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App, including product-liability, legal/regulatory non-conformance, and consumer-protection claims.
  6. Intellectual Property Claims. The Developer, not Apple, is responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any third-party intellectual-property infringement claim relating to the App.
  7. Legal Compliance. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo (or designated “terrorist supporting”), and are not on any U.S. Government prohibited/restricted-parties list.
  8. Developer Contact. Questions, complaints, or claims regarding the App should be directed to mskayyali@me.com.
  9. Third-Party Beneficiary. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, have the right to enforce them against you.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by applicable law, except where Apple’s Media Services Terms or the mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence provide otherwise. Nothing in these Terms limits your statutory consumer rights.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect new features or legal requirements. Material changes will be posted here with a new “Last Updated” date. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
