Terms and conditions

1. Who we are

Pattio is an application owned by Somia Digital (Joan Cama Ribot), hereinafter «Somia Digital», «we» or «the owner».

This information is provided in compliance with article 10 of Spanish Law 34/2002, of 11 July, on information society services and electronic commerce (LSSI-CE).

• Owner: Joan Cama Ribot
• Trading name: Somia Digital
• Tax ID (NIF): 41531670H
• Address: Carrer de Sant Joan, 17200 Palafrugell (Girona), Spain
• Contact email: hola@somia.digital

2. What these terms are and what they cover

These terms and conditions (the «Terms») govern access to and use of the Pattio application for iPhone, iPad and Mac (the «App» or «Pattio»), of its free features, of the guest web portal (pattio-convidats.netlify.app) and of the paid Pattio Plus and Pattio Pro subscriptions.

The Terms are a contract between you and Somia Digital. Downloading, installing or using Pattio means you accept them in full. If you do not accept them, do not use the App and please uninstall it.

When you start using Pattio, the App says so in these words — «by continuing, you accept the Terms and conditions» — with a link to this document beside it, and it stores on your device which version of these Terms was in force and when you accepted it. That is the only thing we record: the version and the moment.

The processing of your personal data is not governed here but in the Privacy policy (/privacitat), which forms an inseparable part of these Terms. The Terms are accepted; the privacy policy is provided for information — the General Data Protection Regulation does not allow you to «accept privacy» as a block — and specific consents (for example, the web pages’ analytics) are each asked for in their own place and can be withdrawn whenever you want.

3. Who can use Pattio

To use Pattio you must be at least 14 years old, which is the age from which Spanish law lets you consent to the processing of your own data (article 7 of Organic Law 3/2018, LOPDGDD).

To subscribe to Pattio Plus or Pattio Pro you also need legal capacity to enter into a contract. If you are a minor, you need the consent of whoever holds parental responsibility or guardianship over you.

Pattio is not aimed at children under 14 and we do not knowingly collect their data. If we detect that a user does not meet the minimum age, we may suspend their access.

4. Licence of use

Somia Digital grants you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to install and use Pattio on the Apple devices you own or control, in accordance with the App Store’s usage rules and with these Terms.

We are not selling you the App: we are licensing its use. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

4.1 Relationship with Apple’s terms

Pattio is distributed exclusively through the Apple App Store. Accordingly:

In the event of any conflict between these Terms and Apple’s terms as regards the matters Apple governs (purchase, billing, refunds and distribution), Apple’s terms prevail.

• a) These Terms supplement, and do not replace, Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement and the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, which apply to you as an App Store user.
• b) These Terms are entered into between you and Somia Digital, not between you and Apple. Somia Digital, and not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content.
• c) Maintenance and support. Providing you with support for the App is exclusively our responsibility. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services with respect to the App.
• d) Warranty. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation with respect to the App. Any other warranty claims are our responsibility.
• e) Product claims. Somia Digital, and not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession and use of the App, including without limitation: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, data protection or privacy legislation.
• f) Third-party intellectual property rights. If a third party claims that the App infringes its intellectual property rights, Somia Digital, and not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of that claim.
• g) Third-party terms. You undertake to comply with the applicable terms of any third-party service you use through the App.
• h) Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, have the right to enforce them against you.
• i) Legal compliance. You represent that (i) you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as a «terrorist supporting» country, and (ii) you are not listed on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• j) Questions and complaints. For any question, complaint or claim relating to the App, contact Somia Digital using the contact details in §1 and §20.

5. What Pattio is

Pattio is an infinite pinboard: a canvas where you put notes, stickies, photos, videos, links, lists, folders, polls, maps, notebooks and a good twenty kinds of card, move them with your finger and group them into zones. There is also a grid view, PDF export, home-screen widgets and a share extension for sending things in from any app.

5.1 The board lives on your device, and it is free

Pattio works in full without an account and without a connection. Everything you put in is stored in your own device’s database. No feature of the App is locked behind a payment: the canvas, every item type, zones, boards, the grid, PDF export, widgets, app icons, sync and board sharing are for everyone.

A direct consequence, and it matters: if you never create an account, we do not hold a copy of anything. If you lose the device, wipe it or uninstall the App, what was there is gone and we cannot recover it. Use your device’s backup, or the export in §9.3, if you want to keep it.

5.2 The account and encrypted sync

Creating an account is optional. It exists so you can sync your boards between your own devices and, if you want, share them.

The content of private boards travels and is stored end-to-end encrypted: the key is generated on your device, never reaches us and cannot be recovered by us. There is a recovery code, and keeping it safe is your responsibility.

If you lose both the key and the recovery code, what is in the cloud becomes unreadable to everyone — including us. That is the price of real encryption, and it is worth knowing beforehand rather than afterwards.

5.3 What you share is NOT encrypted, and we say so plainly

For an invited person to open what you send them in a browser and without your key, that content has to be stored readable on the server. Therefore:

The practical rule, and we are the ones telling you: if you would not upload something to a server, do not share it by link.

• While something is shared, its content and its files could be read by whoever administers our infrastructure. When you stop sharing it, it goes back to travelling encrypted.
• And «it» is exactly what you shared and nothing more: if you share a single element, that element, its files and the name of the board it comes from go out in the clear; the rest of the board stays encrypted. If you share the whole board, then all of it does.

5.4 The guest portal

Whoever receives a link from you opens a web page (pattio-convidats.netlify.app) where they can view what you shared, vote in polls, type their name and open links. They do not have to install anything or pay anything: the person who shares is the one paying for the storage.

The name a guest types is visible to the others who can read the same board or the same poll — that is what it is for: so that people know who voted. Guest links can be revoked whenever you want, and then they stop opening anything.

5.5 What Pattio does NOT have

So that it is on the record and can be checked by opening the code: Pattio has no artificial intelligence features, no analytics inside the app, no advertising and no trackers. The only measurement that exists anywhere in the project is page-visit analytics on the web pages, which only runs if the visitor says yes and which is explained in the Privacy policy (/privacitat).

6. Your data and where it lives

The detail is in the Privacy policy (/privacitat). What you need in order to understand this contract is what §5 already says: without an account there is nothing of yours anywhere with us; with an account, what is private travels encrypted and what you share travels readable for as long as it is shared.

7. Your obligations and acceptable use

In using Pattio, you undertake to:

The boards you share are yours, and so is moderating them. We do not review anyone’s content in advance — we could not: what is private is encrypted and we cannot see it — and the way to take something away from a group of guests is to stop sharing it or revoke the link, which you can do yourself and instantly. If you receive a complaint about shared content of yours, answering it is up to you.

Breach. If you breach these obligations seriously or repeatedly, we may limit or suspend your access to the server features (sync, shared boards and the guest portal) and, where appropriate, terminate these Terms, with prior notice unless the seriousness or urgency makes that impossible. What you have on your device stays on your device: a suspension never touches your local board. If you have an active subscription and the suspension is not attributable to you, you are entitled to the unused proportional part, which is handled through Apple (§8.4).

Manifestly unlawful content. If we receive a notification from a competent authority or credible notice about SHARED (and therefore readable) content that is manifestly unlawful, we may withdraw public access to it and we will tell you. We cannot do this with private content, because it is encrypted and we cannot read it.

• a) make personal, lawful and careful use of it, in accordance with these Terms, the law and good faith;
• b) not store or share unlawful content: content that constitutes a criminal offence, child sexual abuse material, incitement to hatred or violence, threats, harassment, defamation, or content that infringes another person’s privacy, image or honour;
• c) not infringe third-party rights: do not share works, photographs, texts, trade marks or software that you do not own or are not authorised to use. Keeping something for yourself and publishing it to a group of guests are not the same thing, and the second is a communication made by you;
• d) not share other people’s personal data — photographs, addresses, health data, children’s data — without their authorisation. When you share a board with guests, you are the one deciding what gets published;
• e) not use Pattio to send unsolicited commercial communications, distribute malware or impersonate anyone;
• f) not attack the service or try to get around its protections: do not try to access boards, accounts, files or links that are not yours; do not attempt to break the encryption, the database security policies or the file access rules; do not run load tests, automated sweeps or bulk requests; do not circumvent or tamper with subscription controls, purchase verification or storage limits;
• g) not decompile, disassemble or reverse-engineer the App, nor attempt to derive its source code, except as mandatorily permitted by articles 100 and 100 bis of the consolidated text of the Spanish Intellectual Property Act;
• h) not resell, rent, assign or sublicense the App, the cloud storage or access to your boards for consideration.

8.1 What the subscription includes, and what you never have to pay for

The only thing you pay for in Pattio is CLOUD STORAGE. No feature of the App depends on the subscription.

Guests never pay: the person sharing the board pays for the storage. The specific, up-to-date list of plans, their prices and the storage they include is shown inside the App before you buy.

• Free — 50 MB of cloud storage — all features.
• Pattio Plus — 5 GB of cloud storage — all features.
• Pattio Pro — 15 GB of cloud storage — all features.

8.2 Price, term and renewal

• The price, currency, length of the period and, if any, the free trial are shown inside the App before you confirm the purchase and on Pattio’s App Store listing. Prices are set and displayed by Apple in your country’s currency and include applicable taxes.
• The subscription renews automatically for the same period unless you cancel it.
• Apple takes the payment from the payment method linked to your Apple Account, and renewal is charged within the 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• If you have a free trial and do not cancel before it ends, it converts automatically into a paid subscription. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited if you buy the subscription before it ends.

8.3 How to cancel

You cancel it yourself, from your device’s Settings (Settings ▸ your name ▸ Subscriptions) or at https://apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions. It must be done at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

We cannot cancel your subscription for you: we have no access to your subscription or to your Apple Account. Cancelling does not refund the period already paid: you keep the plan until it runs out.

Uninstalling the App does not cancel the subscription.

8.4 Refunds

Refunds for purchases made on the App Store are handled by Apple, under its own conditions, through https://reportaproblem.apple.com. Somia Digital cannot issue them directly because it is not the party taking the payment.

This does not deprive you of the rights consumer law gives you: if you believe you are entitled to a refund and Apple does not grant it, write to us at hola@somia.digital and we will look into it, and in any case you keep the complaint routes in §19.

8.5 Price changes

If we change the price of a subscription you already hold, we will tell you with reasonable notice through the means the App Store allows, and the change will not apply until the next renewal. If you do not accept it, you can cancel before it takes effect, with no penalty.

9.1 When you stop paying: the calendar, with the numbers

This section is a commitment, not small print. It matches literally what the software does.

Your local board has nothing to do with any of this. All of the above is about what is in the cloud; what is on your device is yours, subscription or not.

• The same day it expires or you cancel: you drop to the free plan. Nothing is touched. Everything can still be read, synced and downloaded. The only thing blocked is uploading new things while you are over quota.
• Days 1 to 29: grace period. We warn you inside the App with the exact date, never with an «in 30 days».
• Day 30: only the excess is removed, oldest first, down to the free quota and not one byte more. Nothing that fits inside the quota is deleted.
• Days 30 to 59: what was removed sits in the trash and comes back if you renew.
• Day 60: the trash is emptied. From here there is no way back.

9.2 Cancelling closes no doors

Cancelling does not sign you out, does not forget your key and does not turn off any feature. Paying again should be nothing more than paying again.

9.3 The export: the button that is always there

At Settings ▸ Your data ▸ Download all data there is a button that gives you a ZIP with everything: every board as JSON and every original file byte for byte.

This covers the obligation in article 119 ter of the TRLGDCU (retrieval of content you provided when the contract ends) and your right to data portability (article 20 GDPR).

• It is free, including on the free plan and including after a subscription has expired.
• It is self-service: no need to write to us, wait or ask permission.
• It is machine-readable: JSON and original files, no Pattio required.
• It is produced by your device: the ZIP never passes through a server of ours.

10. Right of withdrawal

As a consumer, you have fourteen (14) calendar days to withdraw from a contract for digital content or services, under the consolidated text of the Spanish General Law for the Defence of Consumers and Users (TRLGDCU).

Statutory exception: this right does not apply to the supply of digital content not supplied on a tangible medium where performance has begun with your prior express consent and with your acknowledgement that, once performance begins, you lose the right of withdrawal (art. 103.m TRLGDCU). By buying on the App Store and starting to use the storage immediately, that is the situation.

In practice: whether you exercise the right of withdrawal or ask for a commercial refund, the route is Apple (§8.4), which applies its own policies, often more generous than the legal minimum. If Apple does not grant your request and you believe the law entitles you to it, write to us.

11.1 Liability: the service is provided «as is», with an important qualification

This section limits our liability as far as the law allows, and not one millimetre further. Read §11.7 too, which says what we never limit.

Pattio is provided «as is» and «as available». In particular, we do not warrant:

A qualification that is not rhetorical: the «as is» above does not exclude or limit the statutory guarantee of conformity for paid digital content and services that the TRLGDCU gives you (arts. 114 ff., transposing Directive (EU) 2019/770). If Pattio Plus or Pattio Pro do not match what we have described, you have whatever legal remedies apply, and these Terms do not cut them back.

• a) uninterrupted or error-free operation of the App, of the guest portal or of the third-party services they depend on (Apple, the App Store, the database and authentication provider, the file storage provider and the portal’s hosting provider);
• b) that the App is fit for any particular purpose of yours, especially if that purpose is professional, accounting-related or required record-keeping;
• c) the accuracy or availability of data that comes from third parties and which the App merely displays: previews of links you paste, maps and addresses, song search results, and the calendar and reminders data on your device;
• d) that a backup made by you, by Apple or by your device is complete or recoverable: that is not a feature of ours.

11.2 Your own use

We are not liable for damage arising from your own inappropriate use of the App, understood as including at least the following:

In these cases the damage does not come from the App but from a decision you made.

• a) sharing content you should not have shared, or sharing it with the wrong people: you are the one who presses «Share» and hands out the link, and the App warns you beforehand that what is shared stops being encrypted (§5.3);
• b) not revoking a guest link you no longer wanted open;
• c) losing the key and the recovery code, which makes what is in the cloud unreadable to us as well (§5.2);
• d) losing the device with no account and no backup, which makes the local board disappear (§5.1);
• e) using the App in breach of §7.

11.3 Security, unauthorised access and force majeure

The measures we apply, and we name them so that they can be checked: end-to-end encryption of private content (NaCl secretbox, XSalsa20-Poly1305) with the key held in your device’s Keychain and never on our server; TLS on all traffic; Row Level Security in the database, where each row itself checks who may read it; file access control under the same rules (every download passes the check of whether you are entitled to that board); and revocable guest links.

Applying reasonable measures is not the same as guaranteeing an outcome, and no system is infallible. Therefore, and save for wilful misconduct or gross negligence attributable to Somia Digital, we are not liable for:

And here is what this section does NOT do, because it cannot: it does not deprive you of the right to compensation if a personal data breach is attributable to us. Article 82 GDPR does not allow a clause to exonerate us, and these Terms do not attempt it (§11.7.d). If there is ever a breach that puts you at risk, we will tell you and the Spanish Data Protection Agency within the deadlines in article 33 GDPR.

• a) unauthorised access to your data arising from a compromise of your device or your environment: loss, theft, lending it to others, no passcode, jailbreak, malware, compromise of your Apple or Google account, or backups you manage yourself;
• b) compromise of your iCloud Keychain, which is how your vault key travels between your own devices: that transport is Apple’s, is end-to-end encrypted by Apple and never passes through our server, but it does tie the security of your content to that of your Apple Account, and we are telling you here and not in a footnote;
• c) failures, outages or security incidents at the providers the service depends on, beyond the diligence required of us in selecting and supervising them;
• d) cyber-attacks by third parties that exceed the state of the art in reasonable security measures, and force majeure: disasters, war, acts of authority, and general network or utility outages.

11.4 User content and what guests see

Pattio is a tool: you put the content in. We do not review it in advance, and we cannot even read the private part. Accordingly, and always subject to §11.7:

• a) we are not liable for content you store or share, nor for the consequences of sharing it with the people you invite;
• b) we are not liable for what invited people do with what you have shown them: a guest can screenshot it, download it or forward the link, and no system in the world can prevent that;
• c) we are not liable for the content or practices of third-party websites that the links you save point to.

11.5 Availability

We will make reasonable efforts to keep Pattio and the guest portal available and working properly, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability (§11.1.a). The local board, by contrast, works offline and without us, which is precisely why Pattio is built the way it is.

11.6 Monetary cap

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and always subject to the exceptions in §11.7, Somia Digital’s total aggregate liability arising from these Terms or from the use of Pattio is limited to the greater of: (i) the amount you paid for Pattio Plus or Pattio Pro in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (ii) fifty (50) euros.

Nor are we liable, in any case, for loss of profit, loss of professional or business opportunities, or indirect or consequential damage that is not a necessary and direct consequence of the breach.

11.7 What we never limit

Nothing in these Terms limits the rights the law gives you. Specifically, nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for:

If any limitation in this §11 turns out to be void or unenforceable, §17 applies and the remaining limitations stay in force.

• a) wilful misconduct or gross negligence attributable to Somia Digital. An advance waiver of the action to enforce liability for wilful misconduct is void (art. 1102 of the Spanish Civil Code);
• b) death or personal injury caused by our conduct. Excluding or limiting this liability would be an unfair and void term (art. 86.2 TRLGDCU);
• c) the rights that consumer law gives you on a mandatory basis as a consumer or user, including the statutory guarantee of conformity (§11.1);
• d) liability as data controller under article 82 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and Organic Law 3/2018 (LOPDGDD). No clause of this contract deprives you of the right to compensation for data processing that infringes data protection law, nor of the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority;
• e) any other liability the law declares non-excludable and non-limitable.

12. Data protection

The processing of your personal data is described in the Privacy policy (/privacitat).

As data controller, Somia Digital is liable on the terms set out in the GDPR and the LOPDGDD, and these Terms neither limit nor exclude that liability (§11.7.d). You have the right to access, rectify, erase, object to, restrict the processing of and port your data by writing to hola@somia.digital, and to lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (www.aepd.es).

13. Intellectual and industrial property

• a) The App is ours. The software, design, interface, illustrations, texts, graphics, trade marks, logos and any other element of Pattio are owned by Somia Digital or its licensors and are protected by intellectual and industrial property law. These Terms transfer no ownership right in any of that to you.
• b) Your content is yours. The notes, photos, videos, drawings, files and any other content you put in Pattio are yours. We acquire no ownership right and no exploitation licence, and we do not use them for anything other than providing you with the service.
• c) The only licence you give us is technical and it is the minimum: when you sync, you authorise us to store and transmit what is needed to get your content to your devices; when you share, you authorise us to store it readable and serve it to the people you have invited, and only while you keep it shared. Not one purpose more.
• d) Third-party software. Pattio includes third-party components under their own licences; the corresponding attribution is in the project’s licence file.

14. Availability, changes and end of service

• a) We may modify, add or remove features to improve the App, fix bugs, comply with legal obligations or adapt to changes in operating systems and third-party services.
• b) If we remove a feature and that substantially alters the value of an active subscription, we will tell you with reasonable notice and you may cancel it and, where appropriate, claim the unused proportional part through §8.4.
• c) We may discontinue the cloud service on reasonable notice, not less than thirty (30) days if you have an active subscription, stopping renewals and keeping the export in §9.3 available throughout that period.
• d) The local board does not depend on any of this. Even if the cloud service stopped, the App you have installed keeps working with what is on your device.

15. Duration and termination

These Terms are in force for as long as you use Pattio.

You can end them whenever you want: cancel the subscription (§8.3), delete your account from within the App — which really does erase what is in the cloud — and uninstall the App. What you have on your device stays on your device.

We may end them, or suspend your access to the server features, in the event of serious or repeated breach of §7, on the terms that section describes.

Termination does not affect the sections that by their nature must survive it: §11 (liability), §13 (intellectual property), §17 (partial invalidity) and §19 (law and jurisdiction).

16. Changes to these Terms

We may amend these Terms for legal, technical or business reasons.

We will publish the updated version on this same page with a new «Last updated» date and a version log at the end of the document. If the changes are substantial and affect you as a user, we will tell you before they take effect by a reasonable means (a notice inside the App).

If you do not accept the new Terms, your option is to stop using Pattio and, where appropriate, cancel the subscription before the next renewal. Changes will not apply retroactively to events before they took effect.

17. Partial invalidity

If a court or competent authority declares any clause or part of a clause of these Terms void, unfair or unenforceable, it will be treated as not written and the rest will remain fully in force.

The affected clause will be replaced, where possible, by a valid one that comes as close as possible to the intended purpose within the limits consumer protection law allows. In no case may the invalidity of a liability-limiting clause be read as extending liability beyond what the law provides.

18. Assignment

You may not assign your position under these Terms without our consent.

We may assign ours in the event of restructuring, merger or sale of the business or its assets, provided this does not reduce your guarantees as a consumer; we will tell you with reasonable notice and, if you do not accept it, you may terminate the Terms and cancel the subscription.

19.1 Governing law

These Terms are governed by Spanish law.

If you are a consumer habitually resident in another EU member state, this choice does not deprive you of the protection afforded by the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, in accordance with article 6 of Regulation (EC) 593/2008 (Rome I).

19.2 Complaints: talk to us first

If you have a problem, write to us at hola@somia.digital. We will try to sort it out reasonably and quickly. This step is not compulsory and does not deprive you of any right or any deadline.

19.3 Out-of-court dispute resolution

As a consumer you may turn to:

Note on the European Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform: the European Commission platform ceased operating on 20 July 2025 and the Regulation that created it has been repealed. That is why these Terms do not refer to it: linking it would be sending you to a closed door.

• the Municipal Consumer Information Office (OMIC) of your municipality, or your region’s consumer service;
• the Consumer Arbitration System (Juntas Arbitrales de Consumo), if both parties submit to it. Somia Digital is not currently a member of the Consumer Arbitration System, so submitting to it would require express acceptance on a case-by-case basis;
• if the purchase was made on the App Store, Apple’s support channel, which is the party handling billing and refunds (§8.4);
• if you live in another EU member state, the European Consumer Centres Network (ECC-Net), which in Spain operates as CEC España;
• and, in any event and with no prior step required, the courts (§19.4).

19.4 Jurisdiction

For any dispute, the parties submit to the courts and tribunals that have jurisdiction under the law.

Where you are a consumer, that means what articles 17 to 19 of Regulation (EU) 1215/2012 (Brussels I recast) and Spanish consumer law provide: you may only be sued in the courts of your domicile, and you may sue us, at your choice, in the courts of your own domicile or in those of Somia Digital’s domicile.

These Terms impose no forum. A clause submitting the consumer to a court other than that of their domicile would be unfair and void (art. 90.2 TRLGDCU), and we do not want one.

21. Languages

These Terms are published in Catalan, Spanish and English. If you are a consumer resident in Spain, in the event of any discrepancy the Catalan version prevails, as it is the master version in which this document is written; if you live in another EU member state, that does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of your own law (§19.1).
