Purchase channelsGoogle Play (Android), and Stripe via this website (iOS and web). iOS users complete their subscription on bottlebuddy.eu/upgrade — the in-app screen on iOS is informational only.

3. Billing and renewal

Unless stated otherwise at checkout, the Subscription automatically renews at the end of each billing period until cancelled. The renewal price, billing interval, tax treatment, and purchase channel are shown before purchase and may also be shown in your app-store or payment-provider account.

If you purchase through Google Play, billing and renewal are handled by Google. If you purchase through the web (Stripe), billing and renewal are handled by Stripe. iOS users complete payment on the web flow; the subscription then activates inside the iOS app within seconds of payment confirmation.

4. Cancellation

You may cancel future renewals at any time. Cancellation stops future billing but does not automatically refund amounts already paid unless required by law or applicable platform/payment-provider rules.

How to cancel

5. Price changes

We may change Subscription prices from time to time. Where required by law or platform rules, we will provide advance notice and request consent before a price change applies to you.

6. EU / Malta 14-day right of withdrawal

If you are an EU consumer purchasing a Subscription online, you may normally have a 14-day statutory right of withdrawal. However, for digital services or digital content supplied immediately, you may lose this withdrawal right if you expressly request immediate access and acknowledge that you will lose the right of withdrawal once performance begins, as permitted by Directive 2011/83/EU and Malta S.L. 378.17.

7. Withdrawal-waiver wording used at checkout

Before completing payment for a Subscription, you must tick an unticked checkbox bearing the following wording:

☐ I request immediate access to the BottleBuddy digital subscription service before the end of the 14-day withdrawal period and acknowledge that, once access begins, I lose my statutory right of withdrawal.

The long-form confirmation shown alongside the checkbox reads:

By completing this purchase, you expressly request immediate access to the BottleBuddy digital subscription service before the expiry of the 14-day withdrawal period. You acknowledge that once access begins, you lose your statutory right of withdrawal under applicable consumer-protection law, including Directive 2011/83/EU and Malta S.L. 378.17.

We log every waiver with the timestamp, your user ID, the exact waiver text version, the subscription product, price, billing period, and the purchase channel. A durable record is also sent by email to the address on your account.

8. Refunds

Refunds depend on the purchase channel and applicable law:

Nothing in these Terms limits mandatory consumer rights that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

9. Platform terms

If you purchase through Google Play, your purchase is also subject to Google's billing rules, cancellation processes, and refund policies. BottleBuddy does not control all platform billing decisions.

10. Changes or withdrawal of paid features

We may modify paid features from time to time, provided that we do not materially reduce the core paid functionality without appropriate notice or remedy where required by law.
