Terms of Use

Last updated: July 3, 2026

1. Acceptance

By downloading, installing, or using the Espremo app ("the App", "we", "us", "our"), you ("you", "your") agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not install or use the App.

2. What the App does

The App is a personal maintenance-scheduling and reference tool for espresso machines. It helps you:

• track when common maintenance tasks are due, based on your machine, water hardness, and usage patterns
• reference general step-by-step instructions for those tasks
• log what you have completed

The App is provided for informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for:

• your machine manufacturer's official service documentation
• advice from a qualified espresso machine technician or authorized service center
• your own judgment about the condition of your equipment

3. Your responsibility for your machine

You are responsible for your own machine at all times. This includes, without limitation:

• deciding whether, when, and how to perform any maintenance task
• verifying that a suggested task is appropriate for your specific machine, model, water setup, and warranty terms
• following the manufacturer's official guidance where it differs from what the App suggests
• taking appropriate safety precautions (disconnecting power, letting components cool, wearing appropriate protection)
• selecting appropriate parts, materials, and cleaning agents
• stopping if you are unsure and consulting a qualified technician

You acknowledge that:

• Espresso machines contain hot water, pressurized steam, electrical components, and moving parts. Working on them carries inherent risks of injury and property damage.
• Performing maintenance yourself may void the manufacturer's warranty. Check your warranty terms before starting any task.
• The App's suggestions are based on general manufacturer service documentation, community references, and industry averages. Your specific machine may need different intervals, techniques, or materials.

4. Disclaimer of warranties

The App is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE," without warranty of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to:

• warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or title
• warranties that the App's schedules, reminders, or instructions are accurate, complete, current, or applicable to your specific machine
• warranties that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from harmful components

We do not guarantee that following the App's guidance will keep your machine in working order, extend its life, preserve warranty coverage, or prevent any specific failure.

5. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for any damages arising from or related to your use of the App or the guidance it provides. This includes but is not limited to:

• damage to your espresso machine, grinder, related equipment, or any other property
• personal injury sustained while performing maintenance tasks
• loss of warranty coverage
• loss of time, materials, or expected results
• indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary, special, or punitive damages

Where liability cannot be excluded under applicable law (including mandatory Dutch and EU consumer law protections), our aggregate liability to you is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid for the App in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) €10.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our gross negligence, for fraud, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

6. Not professional advice

The App's content is general information. It is not medical, safety, engineering, electrical, plumbing, or professional maintenance advice. If a task is beyond your skill, if you are unsure, if the machine behaves unexpectedly, or if warranty coverage is at stake — consult a qualified professional or the machine manufacturer's authorized service.

7. Third-party trademarks and references

The App references espresso machine brand names, models, and third-party consumables (such as descaling agents, cleaners, and replacement parts). All such trademarks are the property of their respective owners. Their inclusion:

• does not imply any endorsement, affiliation, sponsorship, or partnership with those manufacturers
• does not indicate that those manufacturers have reviewed or approved the App's content

Manufacturer service documentation is authoritative for their own machines. Where the App differs from manufacturer guidance, follow the manufacturer.

8. Your data

The App stores your maintenance data (machine, water hardness, task history, notification preferences) locally on your device. We do not transmit this data to our servers or share it with third parties.

The App uses local iOS notifications to remind you about upcoming tasks. Notification permission is granted by you and can be revoked in iOS Settings at any time.

For details, see our Privacy Policy.

9. Changes to the App and these Terms

We may update the App and these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If we make material changes, we will indicate that in the App or on this page.

10. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. We may discontinue, suspend, or restrict the App at any time without notice.

11. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes arising from these Terms or from your use of the App will be brought before the competent courts of the Netherlands, unless mandatory consumer-law provisions grant you the right to bring proceedings in your country of residence.
