Terms of Service
Effective date: April 11, 2026 · Last updated: June 8, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you (“you,” “your”) and Siress AG Ventures Corporation, a Texas corporation (“SAGVC,” “we,” “us,” “our”), governing your use of the CIRQL mobile application and the cirql.id website (together, the “Service”). By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Eligibility — Adults Only (18+)
The Service is for adults aged 18 or older only. By using the Service you represent that you are at least 18. The Service is notdirected to or intended for minors. We apply an adults-only policy because connecting involves sharing a link/URL that we cannot guarantee is appropriate for minors; we intend to revisit age eligibility as platform-level minor-safety controls (e.g., Apple’s age-assurance tools) become available. We do not knowingly permit anyone under 18 to use the Service, and we will close an account if we learn the user is a minor.
2. What CIRQL Is (and Is Not)
CIRQL is a “living address book.” It is serverless from our side: the contact details you add and the connections you make are stored on your device and in your own personal iCloud account (Apple CloudKit) — not in a central CIRQL database. When you share, your information is delivered directly to the people you authorizethrough Apple’s iCloud sharing; it does not pass through a CIRQL server that retains it. We do not sell your data and we do not show ads.
iCloud is required. CIRQL uses Apple iCloud (CloudKit)as the mechanism that stores your data and transfers it between your devices and the people you connect with. The Service will not function without an active iCloud account, and your use of iCloud is also governed by Apple’s terms. Because the Service is serverless and depends on iCloud, you are responsible for your own data and backups, and core functionality depends on your device, your network, and Apple’s iCloud service, which are outside our control.
3. License to Use the App
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download and use one copy of the CIRQL app on Apple-branded devices you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service. We and our licensors retain all rights not expressly granted.
4. Your Responsibilities and Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- use the Service unlawfully or to violate the rights or privacy of others;
- share, harvest, or misuse another person’s information beyond what they authorized;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive source code except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law or the Service’s open-source license terms;
- interfere with, disrupt, probe, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or any related systems;
- use the Service to send spam or unlawful communications, or to harass; or
- misrepresent your identity or affiliation.
You are responsible for the contacts and content you choose to add and share, and for obtaining any consent you need to share another person’s information.
5. Your Content and the “Recipient Boundary”
You retain ownership of the information you add to CIRQL (“Your Content”). You grant us only the limited permission needed to operate the Service for you (for example, to display and sync Your Content on your devices and deliver it to recipients you authorize). Once you share information with a connection, that information is on that person’s device. You can revoke a connection’s access at any time, which stops future updates; however, we cannot retrieve or delete data already received by a person you chose to share with. Use sharing thoughtfully.
6. Open-Source Components
Portions of CIRQL may be made available under an open-source license (e.g., Apache-2.0). Those components are governed by their respective license terms, which control to the extent they conflict with the license in Section 3 for that component. Open-source license terms grant norights in the “CIRQL” name, logos, or trademarks.
7. Privacy
Our handling of information is described in the Privacy Policy. By using the Service you acknowledge that handling. Nothing in these Terms limits the privacy rights you have under applicable law (including the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, the CCPA/CPRA, and the GDPR/UK GDPR where applicable).
8. Changes to the Service and These Terms
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service or any feature at any time. We may update these Terms; for material changes we will update the “Effective date” and provide reasonable notice (in-app or by email). Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to updated Terms, stop using the Service.
9. Termination
You may stop using the Service and delete the app at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms or use the Service in a way that risks harm to others or to the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive (including 4–7 and 10–14) survive termination.
10. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that data (including Your Content) will not be lost. Because the Service relies on your device and Apple’s iCloud, we are not responsible for failures, loss, or unavailability caused by those services.
11. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SAGVC AND ITS AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE — WHICH, BECAUSE THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE, IS USD $0. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you have that cannot be limited under applicable law, including any non-waivable rights under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices–Consumer Protection Act or applicable consumer-protection or data-protection law.
12. Apple App Store Terms (Licensed Application End User License)
These Terms are between you and SAGVC only, not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”). Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content. To the extent these Terms differ from Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement, the following apply for the App Store app:
- Scope of license: the license granted is limited to use on Apple-branded products you own or control and as permitted by the App Store Terms.
- Maintenance and support: SAGVC, not Apple, is solely responsible for any maintenance and support for the app. Apple has no obligation to furnish support.
- Warranty: SAGVC is responsible for any product warranties, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any); Apple has no other warranty obligation.
- Product and legal claims: SAGVC, not Apple, is responsible for addressing claims relating to the app, including product-liability, legal/regulatory, and consumer-protection claims, and any third-party claim that the app or your use of it infringes intellectual-property rights.
- Legal compliance: you represent that you are not located in an embargoed country or on a U.S. government restricted-parties list, and you will comply with applicable export laws.
- Third-party beneficiary: Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, have the right to enforce them against you.
- Contact: direct any questions, complaints, or claims regarding the app to SAGVC at the contact below.
13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution (Binding Arbitration)
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and (to the extent not preempted by federal law, including the Federal Arbitration Act) the laws of the United States.
Binding individual arbitration. Except as noted below, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, seated in Travis County, Texas. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class-action waiver. Disputes will be conducted only on an individual basis; you and SAGVC waive any right to participate in a class, collective, or representative action. If this class-action waiver is found unenforceable, the rest of this Section 13 will not apply to that dispute and it will proceed in the courts of Travis County, Texas.
Carve-outs. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court for intellectual-property or unauthorized-access matters. Nothing in this Section waives any non-waivable rights you have under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices–Consumer Protection Act or other applicable law, and this Section does not prevent you from filing a complaint with a government agency.
14. General
These Terms (with the Privacy Policy) are the entire agreement between you and SAGVC regarding the Service. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them to an affiliate or successor. Headings are for convenience only.
