Terms of Service

Terms for using Baby Monitor Timmy, the subscription, and availability.

As of: July 2026

1. Scope

These Terms of Service apply to the use of the "Baby Monitor Timmy" app and its associated website. The app is offered as a subscription and intended exclusively for private, non-commercial use. By installing and using the app, you accept these Terms of Service.

The app is obtained through the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store, and the respective store's terms also apply to your download and use of the app. Where you obtain the app from the Apple App Store, you acknowledge that Apple is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the app or its content; these Terms are concluded solely between you and the provider (Tim Kaltenbrunner). Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

2. Service Description

Baby Monitor Timmy is a baby monitor app that connects two devices via an encrypted peer-to-peer connection (WebRTC). One device serves as the baby unit (sends audio and optionally video), the other as the parent unit (receives audio and video). Audio and video transmission is end-to-end encrypted throughout (DTLS-SRTP). If a direct connection between the devices is not possible (e.g. due to NAT or firewalls), a TURN relay server (Cloudflare or a self-hosted TURN server operated in Switzerland) is used, which only forwards the already encrypted data stream. Neither the app operator nor the relay provider has access to the contents of the communication.

3. Subscription and Pricing

3.1 Subscription Model

Baby Monitor Timmy is offered as a paid subscription. The app can initially be tried during a free trial period. After the trial period ends, an active subscription is required to continue using the app.

3.2 Pricing and Billing

Current subscription prices and terms are available in the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. All prices include applicable statutory value-added tax (where applicable). Billing is processed through the respective app store (Google Play or Apple App Store).

3.3 Renewal

The subscription renews automatically for the respective term unless cancelled before the end of the current billing period. Renewal occurs at the conditions in effect at the time of renewal.

3.4 Cancellation

The subscription can be cancelled at any time via the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the currently paid billing period — full functionality remains available until then. No pro-rata refund is provided for already paid periods unless the respective app store's policies provide otherwise.

3.5 Price Changes

Price changes are communicated in accordance with the respective app store's policies. In the event of a price increase, you will be notified before the next renewal and have the option to cancel the subscription.

4. Important Notice: Not a Substitute for Personal Supervision

Baby Monitor Timmy is a technical aid and under no circumstances a substitute for personally supervising your child. The app is not a medical device and not a certified monitoring system. It serves exclusively as a supplementary tool and must not be used as the sole means of monitoring a child.

Technical devices and software may fail at any time, behave unexpectedly, or be disrupted by external factors (network issues, power outages, software bugs, device defects). It is the sole responsibility of users to ensure their child's safety through appropriate personal supervision at all times.

In particular, Baby Monitor Timmy does not monitor vital signs and does not measure, track, or detect breathing, heart rate, movement, blood-oxygen levels, or body temperature. It is not a SIDS-prevention device, not a medical, health, wellness, or emergency device, and it does not detect, diagnose, prevent, or alert you to any medical condition or emergency. It must never be relied upon for such purposes.

5. Provided "As Is"

The app is provided "as is," without any express or implied warranties regarding fitness, availability, correctness, or reliability. In particular, there is no guarantee that the app will function uninterrupted, error-free, or suitable for any specific purpose. An active subscription does not constitute a guarantee of specific availability or freedom from errors.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

6. Usage Rights

You are granted a simple, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to use the app for private purposes.

Timmy's security core building blocks are documented and maintained separately. Reviewing and understanding this security architecture is expressly encouraged. Commercial use of such core components — in particular distribution, sale, or integration into commercial products — requires prior written consent.

7. Availability

There is no entitlement to uninterrupted availability of the app or its associated services (Firebase, TURN servers). Maintenance work, technical disruptions, or changes to third-party services may lead to temporary or permanent limitations at any time and without prior notice. In case of extended outages that substantially impair the usefulness of the subscription, the subscription may be cancelled in accordance with Section 3.4.

8. Limitation of Liability

Use of the app is entirely at your own risk.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, any liability for direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use or inability to use the app is excluded. This includes, but is not limited to:

Liability for intent and gross negligence remains unaffected in accordance with Swiss law (Art. 100 para. 1 CO) and cannot be excluded.

The above limitations of liability do not apply to damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability or any statutory rights where this cannot lawfully be done. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for certain damages; to the extent such law applies to you, the above exclusions and limitations apply only to the fullest extent permitted in your jurisdiction, and you may have additional rights under mandatory consumer-protection law.

9. Indemnification

You indemnify the provider against all third-party claims arising from improper or unauthorized use of the app. This includes, in particular, claims arising from the app being used as the sole means of monitoring.

10. Data Protection

Information about the processing of personal data can be found in our Privacy Policy.

11. Right of Withdrawal

Information about the right of withdrawal can be found in our Withdrawal Policy.

12. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to amend these Terms of Service at any time. The current version is always available on this website. Material changes will be communicated via the app store or through an in-app notification. By continuing to use the app after a change, you accept the amended Terms of Service. In the event of material changes that disadvantage you, you have the right to cancel the subscription at the end of the next billing period.

13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed exclusively by Swiss law, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and excluding conflict-of-law provisions.

The exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with the use of the app is Zurich, Switzerland, to the extent permitted by law.

If you are a consumer, the above choice of law and place of jurisdiction do not deprive you of the protection afforded to you by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you have your habitual residence, and you may also bring proceedings in the courts of that country where mandatory law so provides.

14. Severability Clause

Should individual provisions of these Terms of Service be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. In place of the invalid provision, a regulation shall apply that comes closest to the economic purpose of the invalid provision.

15. Governing Language

These Terms of Service are published in German, English, and French. In the event of any discrepancy or inconsistency between the language versions, the German version shall prevail.
