These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) form a binding agreement between you (“you”, the “user”) and PHP SOFTWARE COMPANY LIMITED (“we”, “us”, “our”) governing your download, installation and use of the mobile application Ask app for use with Siri (the “App”) and any content, features and services made available through it.
By downloading, installing or using the App you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If you do not accept them, do not use the App and delete it from your device.
You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country) to use the App. If you are a minor, you may use the App only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who accepts these Terms on your behalf.
The App is an educational and reference guide. It provides:
The App does not: execute voice commands for you, connect to or control Siri, install shortcuts on your behalf, access your Apple Account, or guarantee that any listed command will work. Whether a command works depends on your device, your iOS version, your region, your language, the apps you have installed and changes made by Apple or third parties at any time. Commands and shortcuts are provided as examples only.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to download and use one copy of the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial purposes, in accordance with the Apple Media Services Terms and the Usage Rules therein.
This is a licence, not a sale. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by us and our licensors.
You agree not to, and not to allow any third party to:
The App includes an AI chat feature powered by third-party artificial intelligence models. By using it you acknowledge and agree that:
Machine translation is imperfect. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness or suitability of any translated text and are not responsible for consequences arising from a mistranslation. Do not use the feature for legal documents, medical instructions, safety-critical information or any context where an error could cause harm.
The App is provided free of charge and is supported by third-party advertising, which may appear as banners, interstitials or rewarded placements. Advertisements and any linked destinations are controlled by advertisers and advertising networks, not by us. We do not endorse and are not responsible for the products, services, offers or content of any advertisement, and any dealings with an advertiser are solely between you and that advertiser. Ad-related data practices are described in the Privacy Policy.
The App offers optional in-app purchases, including an ad-removal option. All purchases are processed by Apple through your Apple Account and are governed by the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. We do not receive or store your payment card details. Prices are shown in the App before you confirm and vary by country, currency, taxes and Apple’s pricing tiers; they may change at any time for future purchases.
The ad-removal purchase is a one-time, non-consumable purchase tied to the Apple Account used to buy it. It can be restored on your devices at no additional charge using the Restore Purchases function in the App while signed in with the same Apple Account. It is not transferable between Apple Accounts, and it does not apply to a different app or platform.
If a subscription option is offered in the App, the following applies: payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase; the subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period at the price disclosed at purchase; you can manage and cancel subscriptions in Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions on your device; and any unused portion of a free trial, where offered, is forfeited when you purchase a subscription to the same content.
All purchases are final and, except where required by law, non-refundable. Because Apple is the merchant of record, refund requests must be made to Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. We have no ability to issue refunds directly. Consumers in the EU, UK, Vietnam and other jurisdictions retain any statutory withdrawal or cancellation rights that apply to digital content.
The App and all of its content — including software, source code, user interface, design, text, compilations, categorisation, graphics, icons, illustrations, audio, and the selection and arrangement of the command library — are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws and treaties.
All third-party names, logos and trademarks referenced in the App, including those of Apple Inc., remain the property of their respective owners. Their use in the App is nominative and descriptive only and does not imply any affiliation, sponsorship or endorsement.
If you send us suggestions, ideas or feedback about the App, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, modify and incorporate them into our products without any obligation of compensation, credit or confidentiality. Please do not send us information you consider confidential.
The App may reference or link to third-party websites, applications, content and services that we do not own or control. We are not responsible for their availability, accuracy, content, products, services, terms or privacy practices, and inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement. Your use of any third-party service is at your own risk and subject to that party’s own terms.
We may modify, update, suspend, limit or discontinue the App, any feature or any content at any time, with or without notice, including where a third-party service the App depends on ceases to be available. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free availability. Updates may be required for the App to continue functioning, and some updates may remove or change features. We are not liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuation of the App or any part of it.
The App and all content are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we and our suppliers and licensors disclaim all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, accuracy and non-infringement, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade.
We do not warrant that the App will meet your requirements, that any command, shortcut, translation or AI response will be accurate, current, reliable or produce any particular result, that the App will operate without interruption or error, or that defects will be corrected. No advice or information obtained from us or through the App creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you; in that case our warranties are limited to the minimum extent permitted by law and nothing in these Terms limits your non-excludable statutory consumer rights.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall PHP SOFTWARE COMPANY LIMITED, its directors, employees, agents, suppliers or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, business opportunity or use, arising out of or relating to your use of or inability to use the App, however caused and on any theory of liability, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the App shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you actually paid to us or through Apple for the App in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) fifty United States dollars (US$50).
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so these limits apply only to the extent permitted.
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless PHP SOFTWARE COMPANY LIMITED and its officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your use or misuse of the App, your violation of these Terms, your violation of any applicable law, or your infringement of the rights of any third party.
These Terms remain in effect until terminated. You may terminate them at any time by deleting the App from all of your devices. We may suspend or terminate your licence immediately, without notice, if you breach these Terms or if we reasonably believe your use may harm us, other users or a third party. On termination you must stop using the App and delete it. Sections 4, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 17 and 18 survive termination.
You acknowledge and agree that:
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. The courts of Vietnam shall have jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App. If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, the United Kingdom or another jurisdiction whose law grants you the protection of mandatory local rules, nothing in this section deprives you of that protection or of the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your place of residence.
We encourage you to contact us first so that we can try to resolve any concern informally.
