01

License

We grant you a personal, limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable license to use the App on devices you own or control, in accordance with the usage rules of the Apple App Store or Google Play (as applicable) and these Terms.

02

Eligibility

You must be of legal drinking age in your country of residence (and at least 18) to use the App. The App is intended for personal, non-commercial use by wine enthusiasts.

03

Account

Some features require an account. You are responsible for the activity that occurs under your account and for keeping your credentials secure. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or applicable law.

04

Subscriptions (Auto-renewing)

Vinea offers optional auto-renewing subscriptions ("Vinea Premium" and "Vinea Pro") that unlock a generous monthly scan allowance (with optional top-ups for power users), advanced sommelier features and remove ads. Each plan is offered in monthly and yearly billing periods.

Plans & pricing

The current price for each plan is displayed in the App in your local currency before you confirm purchase.

Payment

Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account at confirmation of purchase.

Auto-renewal

Your subscription automatically renews within 24 hours of the end of the current billing period at the same price as the selected plan, unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the renewal date.

Manage & cancel

iOS: Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions → Vinea. Android: Google Play → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Vinea.

Free trial

Any unused portion of a free trial period (if offered) is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.

Refunds

Refunds are handled by Apple or Google according to their refund policies; we cannot issue refunds directly for in-app purchases.

Deleting the App

Deleting the App does not cancel your subscription — you must cancel through the App Store or Google Play.

05

AI-Generated Content

The App uses third-party AI models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini) to generate wine reviews, food pairings and other text. AI output may contain errors or inaccuracies. Vinea is intended for entertainment and informational purposes; it is not professional, medical, oenological or financial advice. Always verify wine details, allergens and prices before relying on them.

06

Acceptable Use

You agree not to: (a) reverse-engineer or attempt to extract our source code; (b) use the App in violation of any law; (c) submit content that is illegal, harmful, or infringes third-party rights; (d) use automated means to scrape or overload the service; (e) resell or redistribute access to the App.

07

Intellectual Property

The App, its design, brand and original content are owned by us or our licensors. Wine images you submit remain yours; by submitting them you grant us a limited license to process them solely to provide the service to you.

08

Privacy

Our handling of personal data is described in the Privacy Policy at december-first.com/privacy, which forms part of these Terms.

09

Disclaimers

The App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure.

10

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event shall we be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly. Our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) USD 50.

These Terms are concluded between you and us only, and not with Apple. We — not Apple — are solely responsible for the App and its content.

Scope of license

The license granted to you for the App is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, as permitted by the Apple Media Services Terms.

Maintenance and support

We are solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services for the App. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App.

Warranty

We are solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App (if any) to you.

Product claims

We — not Apple — are responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession and/or use of the App, including product liability claims and claims arising under consumer protection or privacy legislation.

Third-party beneficiary

You and we acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that, upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.

12

Termination

You may stop using the App at any time and may delete your account from within the App. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (e.g. disclaimers, limitation of liability) will survive.

13

Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date below. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

14

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable at the developer's place of residence, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Mandatory consumer-protection rights in your country of residence are not affected.
