Terms of use

Last updated 13 November 2026

About these terms

These terms are an agreement between you and the developer of Christmas Countdown, named on its App Store and Google Play listings ("we"), about the Christmas Countdown app. By installing or using the app you agree to them. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must agree for you. Our privacy policy, in the app's Settings, explains what happens to information.

Using the app

We give you a personal, non-transferable licence to use the app for your own non-commercial enjoyment, on devices you own or control, as the rules of the store you got it from allow. The app and everything in it belong to us or to those who license it to us.

Please do not:

• copy, sell or republish the app or its content, apart from the pictures the app makes for sharing
• try to break, reverse engineer or interfere with the app, except where the law says you may
• use the feedback form to send anything unlawful, abusive or misleading

Premium and purchases

The app is free to use, with adverts. Premium is optional and is sold through the App Store or Google Play at the price shown before you buy. The purchase screen shows what Premium includes. There are two kinds. Neither renews, and neither charges you again.

• Lifetime unlocks everything the app has, for as long as the app is here, and you will never be asked to pay for it again. "Lifetime" means the life of the app rather than yours: we cannot promise that a calendar will be written for future Christmases, that there will be further updates, or that the app will still be published years from now. If a year arrives that we have not written a new calendar for, the app opens the most recent one it has rather than nothing at all. None of this affects your legal rights if what you bought is faulty or not as described.
• A season pass gives you Premium for the one Christmas season named on it. A 2026 pass lasts until the end of 26 December 2026. After that, Premium features return to the free ones unless you buy a new pass or Lifetime. Nothing you have opened in the calendar is taken away.

Some calendar windows lend a Premium style or widget for 24 hours. These loans are free and end by themselves.

The store takes your payment and its terms apply to it. To ask for a refund, use Apple's Report a Problem page or Google Play's refund page. This does not affect any legal right you have if something you bought is faulty or not as described.

On the App Store, purchases can be shared with your family group through Family Sharing. Google Play does not share in-app purchases between family members. "Restore purchases" in Settings brings back what you have bought when you use the same store account.

Recipes, crafts and activities

The calendar includes recipes, crafts and other things to do. Children must be supervised by an adult, especially around ovens, hot drinks, scissors and small parts. Read the safety note on each activity before you start.

Recipes name common allergens, but ingredients vary. Always check the labels on what you use, and do not rely on the app if anyone has an allergy or a special diet.

You follow the recipes and activities at your own risk, and it is for you to decide whether they are suitable for you and your family. Facts, quizzes and jokes are there for fun and are not advice. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss, injury or illness arising from following them.

Adverts

The free version shows banner adverts supplied by Google. We do not choose the individual adverts and are not responsible for the advertisers' products or websites. We ask Google to show only adverts rated suitable for all ages. If you see one that is not, please tell us at support@christmascountdown.fun. Premium removes adverts.

Music and credits

The music is used under open licences such as Creative Commons, and the fonts under the SIL Open Font License. The titles, artists and licences are listed under Settings, Licences and credits. Nothing in these terms limits what those licences let you do with that material.

Changes and availability

We may update the app, add or remove features, change these terms, or stop offering the app. The date at the top shows the latest version. The app depends on your phone, its software and the stores, so we cannot promise it will always be available, uninterrupted or free of faults.

Our responsibility to you

The app is provided as it is, for personal and family enjoyment. To the fullest extent the law allows, we give no warranties about it and exclude all terms that would otherwise be implied.

Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law does not allow us to limit. If you are a consumer, the law gives you rights over digital content that these terms do not take away — including the remedy the law provides if the app damages your device or other digital content because we failed to use reasonable care and skill.

Subject to that, we are not liable for business losses, for lost or corrupted data, for loss that was not a foreseeable result of our breaking these terms, or for anything caused by events outside our reasonable control. Our total liability for all claims connected with the app will not exceed the greater of £50 and what you paid for the app and any Premium purchase in the twelve months before the claim.

If you got the app from the App Store

Apple asks us to say the following. These terms are between you and us, not Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the app or its content. Apple has no duty to provide maintenance or support for the app. If the app fails to meet a warranty that applies to it, you may tell Apple, and Apple will refund the price you paid for the app, if any. Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app. We, not Apple, are responsible for dealing with any claim about the app, including product liability claims, claims that it fails to meet a legal requirement, consumer protection or privacy claims, and claims that it infringes someone else's intellectual property. You confirm that you are not in a country under a United States government embargo or one the United States government has named a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on a United States government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You must keep to any other terms that apply to you when you use the app, such as your mobile data agreement. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.

Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you live elsewhere in the UK or in the EU, you keep the protection of the consumer laws of the place where you live and may bring a claim in your local courts.
