This terms of use policy is pretty simple. However, all of the examples of these documents that I came across are presented in a very formal, legal sounding form. if you read through the terms, nothing should surprise. If you have any questions, contact the author.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS APP. By using this Application (“Fractally”, the “App”) on any computer, mobile phone or tablet, you signify that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use.

Description

Fractally is a fun little app, with which you can explore the Mandelbrot and Julia sets. The App is free to download and enjoy. Donations are welcome, but not required.

Subscriptions

If you should choose to make a small donation to the author, the donation is in the form of an automatically renewing subscription. Subscriptions renew every 12 months. If you prefer to make a one time donation, you should cancel a donation subscription after starting it, which should leave the original donation but cancel the renewal scheduled in the future.

Intellectual Property

This App is protected by copyright and trademark laws and treaties around the world. All such rights are reserved.

As the Mandelbrot and Julia sets have been known for a long time, and this App is basically a viewer of these mathematical expressions, there really isn’t any intellectual property in the app, aside from its implementation techniques.

This App was designed, created and implemented by the author. There are no third party libraries being used, aside from those provided in Apple’s frameworks that are available to all developers creating Apps that run on Apple’s devices.

The implementation of Fractally is currently private. All of the techniques used in the App’s implementation are well known, and the author does not make any claim to them. Feel free to reverse engineer any of the techniques used by this app. If you are interested in the implementation of the Mandelbrot or Julia sets, use your favorite search engine as there are public implementations of these algorithms available.
