ShotTimer – Terms of Use

Last updated: October 8, 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and GnocchiApps (Flavio Trillo) governing your use of the ShotTimer iOS app (“the app”). By downloading, installing or using the app, you agree to these Terms.

The app and your license to use it

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the app on any Apple-branded device you own or control, as permitted by Apple’s App Store Terms of Service.

Not a certified competition timer — accuracy disclaimer

ShotTimer is a practice aid, not a certified competition timer. Detection is acoustic, via your device’s microphone; accuracy is bounded by the physical path from the speaker to the microphone and by ambient noise, as with any comparable smartphone app. Displayed times are:

  • not an official or competition-certified timing record
  • not guaranteed error-free in loud environments, wind, or unusual microphone placement
  • your own responsibility to verify before relying on them in practice or competition

For a sanctioned match, use the timing equipment provided by the match organizer.

Your data is yours, and your responsibility to back up

Everything the app stores — your runs and settings — belongs to you and stays local to your device (see our Privacy Policy). We don’t have a copy of it and cannot recover it if it’s lost.

There is currently no sync between your devices or to the cloud — you are responsible for backing up your own data, for example before switching devices.

Purchase

ShotTimer is purchased once from the App Store. There are no in-app purchases or subscriptions. Payment and refund requests are handled by Apple, not by us.

No warranty

The app is provided “as is”, without warranty, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. We do not warrant that measured times are error-free under all conditions.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, data loss, or damages arising from using measured times in a competitive or safety context. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under German law (intent, gross negligence, or injury to life, body or health).

Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Germany. Where legally permitted, the courts of Berlin have exclusive jurisdiction — except where mandatory consumer-protection law in your own country of residence gives you the right to bring a claim locally.

Apple’s Minimum Terms

Because this is a custom license agreement, it incorporates Apple’s required minimum terms:

  • This license is between you and us, not Apple — Apple is not a party to it.
  • We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the app and its content.
  • This license permits use only on an Apple-branded product running iOS.
  • We, not Apple, are responsible for product warranties and addressing claims.
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms.
