Terms of Use
These terms apply to the Drop Universe app on iOS and Android and to the website dropuniverse.app (together, "the Service"). The Service is provided by Anastasiia Fesiuk, an individual based in Ukraine ("we", "us", "our"). By downloading or using the Service you agree to these terms, so please read them before you start. How we handle personal information is explained in our Privacy Policy (https://dropuniverse.app/privacy).
The licence you get
We give you a personal, non-transferable licence to use the app on devices you own or control. You may not:
- copy or modify the app or any part of it;
- attempt to extract its source code, except where the law allows it;
- make derivative versions;
- scrape or bulk-download the catalogue.
The app, its design and our own content remain our property. We may change the app, or charge for parts of it, at any time. We will always make clear what you are paying for before you pay.
If you downloaded the app from the App Store, Apple's Standard End User License Agreement (https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/) also applies, alongside these terms.
What Drop Universe is, and is not
Drop Universe is an independent guide to new releases and collectible drops across sneakers, fashion, beauty, collectibles, toys, gaming, entertainment and lifestyle. We follow announcements from brands, retailers and other public sources and list a release when collectors have a reason to know about it, such as a collaboration, a special or limited edition, a reissue or a new collection.
Drop Universe does not sell products. We collect release dates, prices, availability and retailer links for these releases and present them in one place. We rely on brands, retailers and other public sources for this information. Although we work to keep it accurate and current, details can change without notice and we accept no liability for loss you suffer by relying on it. Always check the retailer's own page before buying.
Purchases, shipping, returns, faulty items and stock are entirely between you and the retailer. Visit Store (or Product Page) opens the retailer's website, which has its own terms. Saving a drop or following an interest is not an order or a reservation.
Product images, brand names and logos belong to their respective owners and are used only to identify the brands and their releases. Drop Universe is not affiliated with or endorsed by them. If you own something shown in the app and want it changed or removed, email support@dropuniverse.app.
Links and advertising
Links to retailers are ordinary links. We don't earn a commission when you buy, and brands and retailers don't pay to be listed. The app shows no adverts.
Accounts
You do not need an account to use Drop Universe. An account unlocks extra features:
- saving drops;
- following brands and characters;
- notifications;
- Premium across your devices.
You can create one with a one-time email code, Google, or Sign in with Apple on Apple devices. You are responsible for keeping your device and email account secure.
You can delete your account at any time: open Settings → Delete account in the app, or email support@dropuniverse.app from the address on the account, as described at dropuniverse.app/delete-account. Deleting the account removes your data as described in the Privacy Policy.
You must be at least 13 to use Drop Universe. If you are under the age of majority where you live, ask a parent or guardian before buying Premium.
Requests and reports
You can ask us to add a brand, character or item, and report wrong dates, prices, photos or links. Keep requests and notes about the catalogue, and don't include personal details or offensive content. We read them to improve the catalogue but can't act on every one. By sending a request or report, you let us use what it says to run and improve the Service.
Premium subscription
Premium is an optional auto-renewing subscription that unlocks the additional features described in the app.
- The plans and prices are shown in the app before you buy, in your local currency.
- A subscription renews automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends.
- There are currently no free trials.
Payment is taken by Apple or Google through your App Store or Google Play account. We never see your card details.
To cancel, use your device's subscription settings:
- on iOS: Settings, your name, Subscriptions;
- on Android: the Play Store app, Payments and subscriptions.
Cancelling stops the next renewal, and you keep Premium until the end of the period you have paid for. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their own policies. Deleting your Drop Universe account does not cancel your subscription.
We use RevenueCat to check whether a subscription is active. If Premium doesn't appear after a purchase or on a new device, use Restore on the Premium screen.
Notifications
With your permission the app sends push notifications about new drops from brands and interests you follow, drops you save, and replies to your requests. You can switch these off at any time in Settings → Notifications or in your device settings. Alerts can be late or missed, and they don't guarantee a chance to buy.
Acceptable use
Don't:
- try to access accounts or systems that aren't yours;
- interfere with the Service or overload it;
- introduce malicious code;
- impersonate others;
- use the Service unlawfully.
We may suspend or end access to stop serious misuse.
Connectivity and charges
Some features need an active internet connection. We are not responsible for the app not working fully when you have no Wi-Fi or data allowance. Your agreement with your mobile network still applies while you use the app, including any data or roaming charges.
Updates and ending the Service
The app is available on iOS and Android. System requirements may change, and you will need to install updates to keep using it. We may stop providing the app at any time. If we do, or if we end your access for breaking these terms, the licence above ends. For paid Premium access, you keep the rights the store rules and the law give you.
Our liability
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we make no promise that it will be accurate, complete, uninterrupted or error-free.
We are responsible only for loss that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these terms or our negligence. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, data or opportunity. To the extent the law allows, our total liability to you is limited to the greater of what you paid for Premium in the 12 months before the claim and US$50.
Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or any other liability or consumer right that cannot be limited by law.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top shows when they were last changed, and material changes will be announced in the app.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of Ukraine. If you are a consumer, this does not take away the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you may bring a claim in the courts there. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer. If a court finds part of these terms unenforceable, the rest still applies.
