Vowlet Terms of Use
Effective Date: April 12, 2026
Last Updated: May 6, 2026
These “Vowlet Terms of Use” (hereinafter referred to as the “Terms”) are formulated by LittleBoris (hereinafter referred to as “we”, “us”, or “Application Provider”) and apply to the Vowlet iOS application and its related features, content, updates, synchronization capabilities, notification capabilities, team sharing capabilities, and support services.
Please read these Terms carefully before downloading, installing, accessing, or using Vowlet. By downloading, installing, accessing, or using Vowlet, you indicate that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms; if you do not agree to all or part of these Terms, please do not download, install, or use Vowlet.
1. Relationship with Apple’s Standard EULA
Vowlet is drafted with reference to Apple’s “Licensed Application End User License Agreement” (Standard EULA). According to Apple’s current rules:
- If we do not provide a custom EULA for Vowlet in App Store Connect, Apple’s Standard EULA still applies when you acquire and use Vowlet through the App Store;
- In such cases, these Terms constitute supplementary instructions to Apple’s Standard EULA and apply in conjunction with it;
- If we publish these Terms or their updated versions as Vowlet’s custom EULA to App Store Connect in the future, these Terms will apply as Vowlet’s license agreement within the applicable regions, to the extent permitted by Apple’s mandatory rules;
- Regardless of whether a custom EULA exists, Apple’s App Store usage rules, platform policies, and applicable mandatory legal provisions may still apply simultaneously.
If these Terms conflict with the mandatory provisions of applicable laws, such mandatory provisions shall prevail.
2. Scope of Application
These Terms apply to:
- The Vowlet application itself;
- The features you access through the application, such as vow creation, editing, checking in, statistics, reminders, team sharing, profile display, and witness messages;

- Application updates, patches, subsequent versions, and feature enhancements, unless such updates or features are accompanied by separate terms;
- Instructions, policies, notices, and service rules related to Vowlet that we provide to you through the application or official website.
Matters related to Vowlet’s privacy processing are governed separately by the “Vowlet Privacy Policy”.
