Terms of Use

UV Index, by Ostapenko Studio · Effective 11 June 2026

By downloading or using UV Index ("the app"), you agree to these terms. They are short, and we have tried to keep them in plain English.

What the app is — and isn't

UV Index shows current and forecast ultraviolet index estimates for your location, along with general sun-protection guidance based on the WHO/ARPANSA UV scale. It is an informational tool, not medical advice. UV estimates come from third-party forecast models (Open-Meteo) and can differ from actual conditions — cloud breaks, reflection from water or sand, and altitude all affect real exposure. When in doubt, protect your skin anyway. Decisions about sun exposure, sun protection, and skin health are yours, and anything concerning should be raised with a qualified health professional.

Using the app

You may use the app for personal, non-commercial purposes on devices you own or control. You may not reverse-engineer, resell, or misrepresent the app or its data as your own. The app's design, code, and content remain the property of Ostapenko Studio.

Remove Ads purchase

Remove Ads is a one-time, non-consumable purchase processed by Apple's App Store or Google Play. It permanently removes advertising from the app on devices signed in to the same store account, and can be restored at any time via "Restore purchases" in Settings. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their own policies, not by us directly.

Availability and changes

The app depends on third-party services (Open-Meteo for UV data, your device's location services) that we do not control. We may update, change, or discontinue features at any time. We aim to keep the app working well, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.

Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law or other law that cannot lawfully be excluded. Subject to that, the app is provided "as is", and to the maximum extent permitted by law, Ostapenko Studio is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, the app — including loss arising from inaccurate UV estimates. Where liability cannot be excluded but can be limited, it is limited to re-supplying the app or paying the cost of re-supply.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Australia. Any disputes are subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Australian courts.

Changes to these terms

If these terms change, the updated version will be posted at this address with a new effective date. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the updated terms.
