Effective Date: 20.05.2025
The terms of this End-User License Agreement (“EULA” or “Agreement”) govern the legal relationship between You and Flappie Technologies AG, commercial register no. CHE-473.027.787*-*, a stock corporation duly organised under the laws of Switzerland, with its registered seat at Leutschenstrasse 43, 8807 Freienbach, Switzerland, and any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively “Flappie,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
This Agreement applies to your use of the Flappie mobile application that you download, install or access, together with any and all subsequent updates or upgrades that replace or supplement that application (the “App”), unless a particular update or upgrade is accompanied by a separate licence—in which case the separate licence shall prevail.
The collection, use and disclosure of your information (including any personal data) is governed by the Flappie Privacy & Data-Protection Policy, available online at
https://flappiedoors.com/policies/privacy-policy (“Privacy Policy”).
If you obtain the App from any online marketplace or platform that distributes software for mobile or connected devices—e.g. Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon Appstore, Huawei AppGallery—or if you access the App via a hosted web version (where offered), you acknowledge that you have reviewed and accepted the terms of service, developer distribution agreements, and/or platform rules applicable to that marketplace or platform (the “Special Terms”).
BY INSTALLING, USING OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING THE APP YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS EULA. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT INSTALL, USE OR OTHERWISE ACCESS THE APP. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this EULA and any Special Terms, the terms of this EULA shall prevail to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this EULA, You may create, upload and share “User Content” (as defined below) generated through the Flappie Product or App, provided You comply at all times with the licence limitations in § 1 and the specific rules in § 3.3.
This EULA does not grant You any right to sub-license, rent, lease, transfer or otherwise distribute the App itself. Flappie is not obliged to supply printed documentation, telephone support or future upgrades unless expressly promised elsewhere.
3.1 Submission of User Content
The App and Product may let You create, capture or otherwise generate content—e.g. video or photo “Bundles”, thumbnails, text captions, event logs, comments, graphics, telemetry or other data—(collectively “User Content”), and to share that User Content with Flappie, with other Flappie users via FlappieTV or “Family & Friends” links, or with third-party services such as social-network platforms.
Your responsibilities
- Sole responsibility. You alone are responsible for every item of User Content You create, upload, publish, display, link to or otherwise make available (“share”) via the Service. Flappie acts only as a passive conduit for the online distribution of Your User Content.
-
Prohibited material. You must not share User Content that:
- could reasonably cause harm, injury, distress, death, disability or property damage to any person or animal;
- exploits or endangers minors;
- constitutes, depicts or encourages illegal activity or tortious conduct;
- is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, racist, sexist, sexually explicit, invasive of privacy, misleading, or otherwise objectionable;
- infringes any copyright, patent, trade-mark, trade secret, moral, privacy, publicity or other right of a third party;
- violates any confidentiality or fiduciary obligation;
- You know to be false or out-of-date.
If You believe infringing content is stored on a third-party platform (e.g. Facebook, YouTube), please contact that platform directly.
You warrant that You own—or have secured—all rights necessary (including musical-composition and sound-recording rights, if any) to grant the licences set out in § 3.2.
Moderation. Flappie reserves the right (but is not obliged) to review, monitor, remove, block or edit User Content at any time without notice. By entering this EULA You irrevocably consent to such monitoring and acknowledge that You have no expectation of privacy regarding User Content transmitted via the Service.
3.2 Licence Grant for User Content
(a) Internal AI & Service Operation – Mandatory Licence
By creating or uploading User Content, You grant Flappie Technologies AG a world-wide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable licence to collect, store, analyse and use all User Content (including audio-visual recordings, sensor data and metadata) for the purposes of operating the Service, debugging, security, quality assurance and improving existing or future AI / machine-learning models (e.g. prey detection, future Cat-ID). This includes the right to create anonymised or aggregated derivative data sets.
(b) Public Sharing – Optional Licence
If, and only when, You designate specific User Content as “Public” or share it on FlappieTV or external social-media platforms, You additionally grant Flappie a world-wide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable licence to use, reproduce, adapt, translate, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, monetise (e.g. in ads, promo videos, showcases), create derivative works of and otherwise exploit that Public User Content—including Your display name and, if included, likeness or voice—in any media now known or later developed for the purpose of promoting Flappie, the Product, the App, successor products and related services.
You further grant each end-user of the Service a non-exclusive licence to access and view Your Public User Content through the Service, strictly as enabled by Service functionality and this EULA.
3.3 Specific Rules for User Content
- Non-commercial display. You may display User Content for non-commercial purposes (e.g. personal social streams, blogs, hobby websites). Commercial exploitation— including paid exhibitions, pay-walled streams or merchandise—requires Flappie’s prior written consent.
- Use of Flappie IP. You may not create new products, apps or services based on Flappie trade marks, logos, firmware, designs or copyrighted assets without Flappie’s prior written consent. You may not modify any Flappie trade marks or present Flappie as the sponsor or creator of Your independent works.
- Physical merchandise. Manufacturing or distributing physical goods bearing Flappie trade marks, imagery or other intellectual property is prohibited unless Flappie gives written approval.
- Monetisation. Flappie reserves the right to monetise any Public User Content (e.g. via ads). If Flappie declines to monetise, You may request written permission to monetise; if granted, You are solely responsible for ensuring compliance with laws and platform policies.
- Revocation. Flappie may determine, in its sole discretion, whether User Content complies with these rules and may revoke the licences in this EULA at any time for any reason.
3.4 Limitation of Liability for User Content
- No control / no liability. Flappie assumes no liability for User Content created or shared by You or any third party. You bear sole responsibility for any loss or damage resulting from Your User Content or Your reliance on others’ User Content.
-
Representations & warranties. In addition to any warranties elsewhere in this EULA, You affirm that:
- You have written consent from every identifiable person (or pet owner, where required) appearing in Your User Content to use that person’s or animal’s likeness as contemplated herein;
- Your User Content, and Flappie’s use thereof under the licences granted, does not infringe any third-party rights, violate any law, or trigger any royalty or guild-fee obligations;
- You understand that other users may encounter User Content that they consider offensive, inaccurate or inappropriate, and You agree that Flappie bears no liability arising from any such exposure.
4. ACCESS
You are solely responsible for providing, at your own expense, the mobile device, Internet connection, and any data or service plan required to download, install, and use the Flappie App and connected services. Flappie does not warrant that the App or cloud features will be available in every geographic location or under every network condition. When you use the App or Product, your wireless or broadband provider may levy data, messaging, roaming, or other access fees. Please check with your carrier or ISP to determine what charges may apply.
ALL COSTS INCURRED TO ACCESS OR USE THE APP OR PRODUCT ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. Your right to use the App also depends on your continued compliance with any third-party terms that govern your device, operating system, and network service.

7. FLAPPIE PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(This Section applies only if—and when—you decide to purchase or activate a paid “Flappie Premium” subscription. Until the commercial launch of Flappie Premium, the clauses below serve as advance notice of the contractual framework.)
7.1 Scope of the Premium Subscription
Flappie Premium (“Premium Subscription”) is a purely digital add-on service that unlocks additional features for your Flappie cat flap and the Flappie mobile App. Typical Premium features may include, for example:
- extended cloud storage and higher-resolution video exports;
- advanced AI options (e.g. future Cat-ID, behaviour analytics, “Ignore species” or “Night-vision assist”);
- additional guest or family accounts;
- custom scheduling, API/web-hook access, or Home-Automation integrations;
- early access to experimental firmware.
The exact feature set, price, and subscription term will be displayed in the “Subscriptions” section of the App or on flappiedoors.com at the moment you place an order. If a feature is not listed for your territory at checkout, it is not included in your offer.
7.2 Pre-Launch Sign-Up / Wait-list
Before commercial launch, Flappie may offer a non-binding wait-list or “early-bird opt-in”.
- No fees are charged until Premium actually becomes available for your account.
- You may withdraw from the wait-list at any time inside the App (Settings → Subscription) or by e-mailing support@flappie.ch.
7.3 Free Trial
If a Free Trial is offered in your country, the trial length, conversion price, and renewal period will be shown during sign-up. By starting a trial you:
- agree that the Premium features are delivered immediately; and
- authorise Flappie to begin billing the disclosed subscription fee automatically at the end of the trial, unless you cancel beforehand (App → Settings → Subscription → Cancel).
7.4 Service Limitations and Modifications
We endeavour to keep Premium operational, but temporary interruptions (maintenance, network outages, legal compliance) may occur. Flappie may:
- add, modify, or discontinue Premium features;
- change fees or billing periods; or
- migrate you to an equivalent plan.
Notice of Change. We will notify you in writing (e-mail or in-app) at least 10 days before material changes or price increases take effect. You may reject the change within that period; continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
7.5 Fees & Payment
- Premium fees are pre-paid for the selected billing cycle (“Pre-Paid Period”).
- Charges are processed via the payment method stored in your App-store account (Apple / Google) or the card you register on flappiedoors.com.
- If a payment method fails, you must update it within seven (7) days or Flappie may suspend Premium access.
7.6 Cancellation by You & Refunds
- App-Store purchases must be cancelled through Apple App Store / Google Play > Subscriptions.
- Direct purchases may be cancelled in the App (Settings → Subscription) or by e-mailing support@flappie.ch.
Your cancellation stops the next renewal; no pro-rated refunds are given for partially-used periods unless (i) required by mandatory law or (ii) expressly promised in the local offer page.
7.7 Withdrawal Right for EEA Consumers
If you buy Premium directly from Flappie and you are an EEA consumer, you have a 14-day statutory withdrawal right. You expressly request immediate service activation and acknowledge that the right to withdraw lapses once the full service is provided during the withdrawal period.
To exercise the right, send an unequivocal statement (e-mail or letter) to support@flappie.ch within 14 days of purchase.
7.8 Non-Transfer & Non-Resale
Premium Subscriptions, promo codes, and Free Trials are personal, non-transferable, and may not be resold, rented, or shared for commercial purposes.
7.9 Age Requirement
Premium is available only to individuals 18 years or older (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction).
7.10 Termination by Flappie
Flappie may terminate Premium on 14 days’ written notice for convenience (unused Pre-Paid time will be refunded pro-rata) or immediately if you (i) materially breach the EULA/ToS, (ii) misuse the service fraudulently, or (iii) fail to pay. No refund is due for terminations under items (i)–(iii).
7.11 Liability
Our liability for Premium follows Section 8 (Limitation of Liability) of the main EULA/ToS. Flappie is not liable for outages caused by your Internet provider, App-store platform, or other force-majeure events.
7.12 Legal Guarantee (EEA)
If you are an EEA consumer, the digital-content guarantee of Directive (EU) 2019/770 applies. Lack-of-conformity claims can be raised throughout the subscription period.

Your interaction with those parties is governed solely by their terms and privacy notices.
8.5 Change Procedure
We may add, replace or retire third-party vendors over time (for example, to improve performance or comply with law). Material changes that expand the categories above or move data outside the EEA/CH will be announced at least 30 days in advance via e-mail or in-app notice, giving you the right to object or exercise termination rights under § 5.
9. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PRODUCT, APP AND ALL RELATED SERVICES (“SOFTWARE”) ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITH ALL FAULTS.
FLAPPIE TECHNOLOGIES AG, ITS SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS (COLLECTIVELY “FLAPPIE” FOR THIS SECTION 9 AND SECTION 10) HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
- MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE;
- NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS;
- UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR VIRUS-FREE OPERATION;
- COMPATIBILITY OR INTEROPERABILITY WITH HARDWARE, SOFTWARE OR NETWORKS NOT SUPPLIED BY FLAPPIE;
- AVAILABILITY OF REINSTALLS ON THE SAME OR ADDITIONAL DEVICES.
NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY FLAPPIE OR ITS AUTHORISED REPRESENTATIVES CREATES A WARRANTY.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS; IF SO, THOSE LIMITATIONS APPLY ONLY TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY LAW.
10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER LAW, FLAPPIE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY:
- INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES;

NOTHING IN THIS EULA EXCLUDES OR LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED BY LAW (E.G., LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD, OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT).
11. INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Flappie, its directors, employees and contractors from any claim, loss, damage, liability, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to:
- Your use or misuse of the Software or Product;
- Your breach of this EULA;
- Your violation of third-party rights, including intellectual-property or privacy rights.
Flappie reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume exclusive defence and control of any matter subject to indemnification; you will cooperate fully in asserting any available defences.
12. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
You acknowledge that any breach of this EULA may cause Flappie irreparable harm that cannot be adequately remedied by money damages. Flappie is therefore entitled to seek injunctive or equitable relief without the necessity of posting bond or proving actual damages, in addition to any other remedies available at law.
13. GOVERNING LAW & VENUE
This EULA, and any non-contractual obligations arising from it, are governed by the substantive laws of Switzerland, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
Mandatory consumer-protection laws of your habitual residence remain unaffected (e.g., Art. 6 Rome I).
