SnoreBuzzer Terms of Use
Last updated: Jan 30, 2026
1. Introduction
SnoreBuzzer is an app that gives you the tools to measure your snoring and to snore less. These Terms of Use describe your rights and obligations in respect of your use of the SnoreBuzzer app.
SnoreBuzzer is created and operated by a private person, Niels de Bruijn, in Germany. Niels can be contacted at nielsdebr@gmail.com.
These Terms of Use (also referred to as “this agreement”) are a legal agreement between you and Niels de Bruijn for the use of the app and all related systems, services, features and content provided by us within the app, on this website, by email, and our social media channels.
2. Acceptance of Terms
Please read this agreement carefully. By using the app, you acknowledge your acceptance of this agreement.
If you do not agree to something in this document, please do not use the app.
3. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms of Use from time to time, due to changes to our services or changes in the law. We will notify you of changes via the app. If we have your email address, we will notify you of changes via email also.
Your continued use of SnoreBuzzer after any changes made to Terms of Use constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you object to any changes to these Terms of Use, you should stop using SnoreBuzzer.
4. Medical Services Disclaimer
SnoreBuzzer is not a medical device or intended to replace professional medical advice and/or diagnosis. SnoreBuzzer is not intended to diagnose or treat sleep apnea or any illness or medical condition. Please consult with a licensed physician before making any decisions or taking any actions that may affect your health, safety and wellbeing. Do not disregard professional advice because of anything you have seen, heard or read in the SnoreBuzzer app, website or social media channels. Always consult with a healthcare professional if you have any questions or concerns about your snoring or general health.
5. Eligibility
If you are under 18, your parent or guardian must read and accept the terms of this agreement. By using the app, you confirm that your parent or guardian has read and accepted the terms. You shouldn’t use the app if you are under 9.
6. Your personal data
Any snoring and breathing data recorded while using the app, is governed by the app’s data privacy policy.
7. Intellectual Property in the app and app data
The app, including its software, design, content, and any improvements, customizations, or new features, is owned by Niels de Bruijn. Certain intellectual property in the app may be licensed to us by third parties (so references to our ownership include such third-party licensors).
All intellectual property rights in the app, including but not limited to copyrights, trademarks, patents, and database rights, are retained by us and/or our licensors. This includes all content, images, drawings, graphics, icons, branding and all data generated by the app, including usage statistics, charts, metrics, metadata and other non-personally identifiable data.
Niels de Bruijn gives you permission to download and use the app on your phone or tablet for personal, non-commercial purposes, as long as you follow these Terms of Use. This permission is limited, meaning you can’t share it with others or use it for business purposes.
8. Service Levels and limitations
Availability
We aim to make the app available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. However the app may be unavailable in the event of (a) maintenance, development or remediation work; (b) network failures or connectivity problems; (c) suspension to remedy a vulnerability or data breach; (c) denial of service attacks; or (d) maintenance or updates. Unavailability may be without notice in the case of unexpected events.
Equipment and app updates
SnoreBuzzer is a mobile app so you need adequate equipment to access it: your device needs to have an up to date operating system and an internet connection for updates. These are at your cost. We will not be responsible for any errors, failures or delays resulting from your connections, systems or equipment being faulty, unavailable, incompatible or inaccessible. We may update the app, and you don’t accept an update, some app functionality may not be available to you.
Phasing out the app or individual features
We may stop providing some features of the app on 2 months' notice, or a shorter period if reasonable, if it becomes no longer feasible for us for legal, business or financial reasons. We can also end providing SnoreBuzzer completely (like shutting it down), and we’ll try to give you notice if this happens. We will not be liable to you for phasing out the app or individual features.
Accuracy of data
The accuracy and usefulness of the app is dependent on you providing accurate data. We are not responsible for any inaccurate or incomplete data you provide.
Errors
We use reasonable efforts to ensure that the app is free from material defects or errors. But we do not promise that the app will be free of defects, errors or bugs.
Harmful code
We follow good industry practices to ensure that the app and your data is protected against cyber attacks, virus infection, spyware, malicious software, trojans and other harmful code. However, the app is subject to risks inherent in information technology and communications networks, so we do not warrant that the app will never be subject to cyber attacks or transmit harmful code. We will not be liable for any losses you or others may suffer resulting from such risks, including damage to systems, data or property.
No warranties
We work hard to make sure the app is as useful and helpful as we can make it. But we do not provide any representations or warranties that the information given by the app will be accurate, complete or appropriate for your individual requirements.
Third party products
The app, or communications sent by us, may provide you with links to other independent websites which are not provided by us. Such independent sites are not under our control, and we are not responsible for and have not checked and approved their content. While we may recommend third party websites and products to you, and we do our best to work with quality partners, you will need to make your own independent judgement about whether to use their websites or buy any products or services offered by them.
Events outside of our control
We will not be liable for any app or service failures, or loss of data, as a result of circumstances beyond our reasonable control (including what is sometimes known as "acts of god"), including pandemics and associated quarantine restrictions.
9. If things go wrong
What You Can Do
If the app doesn’t work properly or we fail to provide it as promised, you can ask us to fix the problem by contacting Niels de Bruijn. If it’s a major issue that we can’t fix within a reasonable time, or if it can’t be fixed at all, you can stop using the app and end this agreement. This is your only remedy for any failure by us to provide a working app.
Your Responsibility
If you break these Terms of Use (for example, by misusing the app), you are responsible for any losses we face as a result. If someone else makes a legal claim against us because of your actions, you will need to cover those costs.
Losses We Don’t Cover
We are not responsible to you for indirect losses like lost data, or any special damages, even if they are foreseeable.
Losses We Can’t Limit
We don’t limit or exclude our responsibility for (a) death or injury caused by our negligence, (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, (c) wilful abandonment, (d) anything the law says we can’t limit or exclude.
Your Legal Rights
If you are protected by consumer or data protection laws in your country, nothing in these Terms of Use takes away any of your mandatory rights under those laws. We’ll follow these laws to make sure your protections, such as non-excludable warranties or data privacy rights, are respected.
If a court finds any part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force
Each of the paragraphs of these Terms of Use operates separately. If any court or regulatory authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
10. Cancellation rights
You can stop using SnoreBuzzer at any time by deleting it from your device. This ends your agreement with us.
11. Complaints and claims
SnoreBuzzer is a free app for which no legal claims arising from your use of the app can be accepted. This agreement is governed by the law of Germany. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of Germany (unless a different dispute resolution mechanism is mandated by the law of your country of residence).
