If you provide us with suggestions, ideas, or feedback about the App, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use and incorporate such feedback without obligation to you.
10. Disclaimers
The App is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement.
We do not guarantee that the App will be available at all times, uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the App at any time.
The App relies on third-party services (Supabase, Apple, RevenueCat, Resend, PostHog, Sentry). We are not responsible for the availability, performance, or practices of these services.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Studio Parkar be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of data, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
Our total aggregate liability shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) fifty U.S. dollars ($50.00).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

15. Governing Law

If unresolved within 30 days, either party may pursue binding arbitration or courts of competent jurisdiction.
