Terms of Service

Last updated: 3 July 2026

This English translation is provided for convenience. The Icelandic version is the legally binding text — read it here.

1. Agreement

Vinir is developed and operated by an individual, Berglind Dan Róbertsdóttir, Icelandic ID no. 101100-3240, hereinafter "we" or "us" (the "service provider"). The service is not operated by a legal entity (ehf. or other company) at this time.

By downloading, signing up for, or using Vinir (the "app") you enter into an agreement with Berglind Dan Róbertsdóttir. If you do not accept these terms you must not use the app.

If a separate legal entity (e.g. ehf.) is later established to operate Vinir, the agreement will transfer to that entity and users will receive notification of the change at least 14 days in advance.

2. Who may use the app

The app is intended for people 13 years and older. Users under 18 need parental consent. By signing up you confirm that the information you provide is correct and that you have the legal right to enter into this agreement.

3. Your account

Personal accounts are for personal use: friends, groups, meetups and events.

You are responsible for what is done through your account. You undertake to:

  • Use your real name, not a fake identity or that of another person.
  • Keep your Apple ID, Google account and device secure.
  • Notify us immediately if you believe someone has gained unauthorized access to your account.

4. What is permitted and what is not

You are not permitted to use the app to:

  • Harass, threaten, post hate speech or distribute illegal, pornographic, violent or deceptive content.
  • Send unsolicited commercial messages (spam) or market products or services without our permission. @-mentions in comments to people who have not consented to communication with you are considered spam.
  • Reverse engineer, decrypt or exploit vulnerabilities in the app, or harvest data about other users automatically.
  • Infringe the copyright or other intellectual property rights of others.
  • Invite people who have asked you not to.
  • Attempt to circumvent security rules, privacy settings or input limits of the system.

Violations may result in your account being suspended or deleted without notice.

5. Content you create

You retain copyright and other rights to the content you enter into the app (text, images, shift schedules, comments). By submitting content you grant us and the users you share with a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, display and serve the content for the purpose of operating the app. This license ends when you delete the content or your account.

You are solely responsible for your content and represent that you have the right to share it.

6. Shift schedule and calendar

When you upload a shift schedule, you grant us permission to send it for processing to our service provider Anthropic (Claude). The results of the analysis are used to display your shifts in the app. See our privacy policy for details.

Calendar access is optional. You can turn it off in iOS settings at any time.

7. Push notifications

You may receive push notifications about events, invitations, RSVPs, comments, @-mentions and daily reminders. You can turn them off in iOS settings or control specific categories within the app.

7a. Partner and shared calendars

You can establish a partner relationship with another user. When you have both accepted the relationship you can:

  • See a shadow of your partner's events on your calendar (title and time — not detailed information).
  • Set your events to be automatically shared with your partner, or choose per-event sharing.
  • Invite your partner to events you are invited to (when the host has enabled "Partners welcome").

You can end the partner relationship at any time. Calendar sharing will then disappear and your partner will lose access to shadows of your events.

8. Fees

The app is currently free of charge. We reserve the right to add subscriptions or additional services in the future; no new fee will ever take effect without your explicit consent.

9. Service without warranty

We do our best to keep the app running but cannot guarantee that it will always be available, error-free or secure against attack. The app is provided "as is" and we make no warranty as to specific performance or results.

Shift schedule analysis is automated and can be wrong. You are responsible for reviewing results before relying on them.

10. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, our liability to you is limited to the amount you have paid us in the past 12 months (or ISK 0 if you have paid nothing). We are not liable for indirect damages, data loss, lost profits or lost business. This limitation does not apply to intent, gross negligence or harm to life or health, where mandatory law allows.

11. Termination

You may stop using the app and delete your account at any time. We may terminate your access if you violate these terms or if we discontinue the service. We will give you at least 30 days' notice if we discontinue the service.

12. Changes to terms

We may update these terms. Material changes will be announced at least 14 days in advance. If you continue to use the app after the effective date, you accept the new version.

13. Law and venue

These terms are governed by Icelandic law. Disputes arising from them shall be brought before the District Court of Reykjavík, subject to mandatory consumer protections granting you the right to sue in your country of residence within the EEA.
