upuppy — Terms of Use

Last updated: 22 September 2026

These terms cover upuppy, made by Twilight Coders, LLC ("we"). By using the app you agree to them. You must be old enough to enter a binding contract where you live, or use upuppy with the permission of a parent or guardian who accepts these terms for you.

The app

upuppy watches public status pages for services you choose and notifies you when they report a problem. You get a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use it on devices you own or control. On Apple devices that licence is also subject to the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, including the rules for Family Sharing.

upuppy, its code, name and logo belong to Twilight Coders, LLC. The licence gives you the right to use the app, not ownership of it.

What upuppy is not

This is the part worth reading.

upuppy reports what a provider publishes. It does not monitor the service itself. If a provider's status page is wrong, slow to update, or says everything is fine during an outage — which happens — upuppy will faithfully report that everything is fine. It can also miss an incident entirely if a status page is unreachable, changes format, or if your device is asleep, offline, or has notifications disabled.

So upuppy is not a monitoring system, an alerting system, or an uptime guarantee, and must not be relied on where a missed or late alert causes harm — medical, safety-critical, financial or otherwise. It is a convenience. Treat the provider's own status page and your own monitoring as the sources of truth.

Notification delivery depends on Apple's push service and on our push service, neither of which guarantees delivery or timing.

Paid features

Some features require a purchase.

• Subscriptions are monthly or annual and renew automatically until cancelled. Your Apple account is charged at confirmation of purchase and again within 24 hours before each period ends, at the price shown in the App Store before you buy. Any free trial or introductory price, and its length, is shown before you buy; unless you cancel before it ends, the subscription continues at the regular price.
• Cancel at any time in your Apple account settings, at least 24 hours before the current period ends to avoid the next renewal. Access continues to the end of the period already paid for.
• The lifetime purchase is one-time and unlocks the on-device Pro features. It includes the same push allowance as the free plan: the first three enabled, unmuted services in your manual order. An active subscription covers push for all of your enabled, unmuted services.
• Prices can change. A change never applies to a period you have already paid for, and any increase to a subscription is handled through Apple, which will ask for your consent where required.
• Apple is the seller. Paid features are sold only through Apple's App Store. Purchases, billing and refunds are handled by Apple under its terms, and refunds are Apple's decision. We cannot issue them. The Windows version is free and has nothing to buy.

"Lifetime" means the lifetime of this product, not of any person. If upuppy is ever discontinued we will say so with as much notice as we can. A future major version may be a separate paid product; if so, that will be clear before you buy it.

Availability

We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of upuppy, including the push service. We will try to give reasonable notice for changes that affect paid features.

Acceptable use

Do not use upuppy to attack, overload or interfere with anyone's systems, do not attempt to break its security or access others' data, and do not point it at targets you have no right to poll.

Your content

You choose which services to follow. That list is yours. How we handle it is in the Privacy Policy.

Warranty and liability

upuppy is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind to the fullest extent the law allows.

To that same extent, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data or business, or business interruption, arising from upuppy — including from an alert that was late, wrong or never arrived — even if we were told such damage was possible. Our total liability for any claim relating to upuppy is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for it in the twelve months before the claim, or US$50.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, or takes away rights you have as a consumer under the mandatory laws of the country where you live. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limits; where that is the case, those parts do not apply to you. Where the law gives you a right to withdraw from a purchase, such as the 14-day right in the EU and the UK, you exercise it through Apple.

Termination

You may stop using upuppy at any time by deleting it. We may end your licence if you materially breach these terms. Ending a licence does not by itself create a right to a refund; refunds remain Apple's decision.

Changes to these terms

If these terms change materially, the app and this page will say so. Continuing to use upuppy after that means you accept the change.

Apple

If you got upuppy from Apple's App Store, these terms also include the following, which Apple requires:

• These terms are between you and Twilight Coders, LLC only, not Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for upuppy and its content.
• Apple has no obligation at all to provide maintenance or support for upuppy.
• If upuppy fails to conform to any warranty that applies, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any. To the maximum extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for upuppy, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses from a failure to conform to a warranty are our responsibility, to the extent these terms do not exclude them.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to upuppy or your use of it, including product liability claims, claims that upuppy fails to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection, privacy or similar laws.
• If a third party claims that upuppy or your use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for investigating, defending, settling and discharging that claim.
• You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms, and once you accept them Apple has the right to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be heard in the state or federal courts located in Colorado, unless the mandatory laws of the country where you live give you the right to bring it in your own courts.

General

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest still applies, and the unenforceable part is limited only as much as needed. These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement between you and us about upuppy. Not enforcing a term is not a waiver of it. You may not transfer these terms; we may transfer them to whoever takes over upuppy.
