Terms of Service
Effective April 18, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Wepha application (“Wepha” or “the app”), provided by Huseyin Karaarslan, an individual developer based in California, United States (“I”, “me”, “the developer”). By installing, accessing, or using Wepha, you (“you”, “the user”) agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use Wepha.
1. What Wepha is
Wepha is a free software tool that helps mentors, educators, and other adults keep private notes about people they support. It stores data on your own device and optionally in your own Google Drive. Wepha is not a hosted service — there is no Wepha server, no Wepha account, and no data held by the developer. Wepha is not a substitute for professional case management, legal records, medical records, or any system that compliance regulations (FERPA, HIPAA, GDPR, etc.) require for your professional context.
2. License
Subject to these Terms, I grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use Wepha on devices you own or control, for your lawful personal and professional use. You may not: copy, redistribute, resell, or publish the app; reverse-engineer it beyond what applicable law permits; remove copyright or attribution notices; or use the Wepha name or logo to imply endorsement of any product or service.
3. Your responsibilities
Because Wepha runs entirely on your device and in your own Google account, you are solely responsible for:
•
The accuracy and legality of the information you enter.
•
Having the right to collect and store information about the people (students, mentees) you record — including obtaining any consent required by your profession, your institution, or the law where you or they reside.
•
Backing up your data. Drive sync is provided as a convenience, but failures of your Google account, your device, or the app may result in data loss.
•
Keeping your Google account and your devices secure (strong password, two-factor authentication, up-to-date operating system, locked screen). The security of Wepha data depends on the security of the account and device you access it from.
•
Understanding that using “Sign Out & Wipe” on the web deletes the local copy of your data from that browser, and that if Drive sync is not active, that deletion is permanent for that device.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to use Wepha to store, process, or distribute content that is illegal where you live, that infringes intellectual property, that constitutes harassment or hate speech, that contains malware, or that is intended to harm any person. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of Wepha complies with laws applicable to your profession and jurisdiction.
5. Third-party services
Wepha relies on Google services (Google Drive, Google Calendar, Google Sign-In) when you choose to enable them. Your use of these services is governed by Google's own terms and privacy policies, not by me. I am not responsible for the availability, behavior, pricing, or continued existence of any third-party service that Wepha integrates with.
6. Disclaimer of warranties
WEPHA IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. I DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. I DO NOT WARRANT THAT WEPHA WILL PREVENT DATA LOSS, THAT SYNC WILL SUCCEED, THAT CALENDAR REMINDERS WILL FIRE ON TIME, OR THAT ENCRYPTION WILL PROTECT AGAINST EVERY POSSIBLE ATTACK.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you.
7. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE DEVELOPER BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE WEPHA, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE DEVELOPER'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO WEPHA SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR WEPHA IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD $100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation of certain liabilities; this section applies to the fullest extent permitted in your jurisdiction.
8. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the developer from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of Wepha; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any law or of the rights of any third party; or (d) the content you enter, store, or share through Wepha. I reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, at your expense.
9. Termination
You may stop using Wepha at any time by uninstalling it and, if applicable, deleting the “Wepha App Data” folder from your Google Drive. I may modify, discontinue, or cease distribution of Wepha at any time, with or without notice. Because I hold no user data, termination does not require deletion action by me.
10. Governing law and venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or related to Wepha or these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in California, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there. Nothing in this section limits any non-waivable consumer rights you may have under the law of your home jurisdiction.
11. Changes to these Terms
I may update these Terms from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page will change whenever I do. Material changes will be announced in the app release notes. Continued use of Wepha after an update constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
12. Entire agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and the developer regarding Wepha and supersede any prior understandings. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
