Terms of Service

1. About these Terms

These Terms of Service govern your use of Tovena, a shared calendar and coordination application operated by MODES AS, organisation number 936 044 654, Velliveien 7A, 1358 JAR, Norway.

Email: contact@modesgroup.com

By creating an account or using Tovena, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy.

2. The service

Tovena allows users to create and participate in shared groups and coordinate information such as calendar events, participants, dependants and saved contacts, recurring activities, responsibility assignments and requests, reminders, and related group information.

Features may change as the service develops.

3. Eligibility and accounts

Tovena accounts are intended for adults who have legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

You must provide accurate account information and keep your login credentials secure. You are responsible for activity carried out through your account unless the activity resulted from circumstances outside your reasonable control.

You must notify us at contact@modesgroup.com if you believe your account has been compromised.

Children and dependants represented in Tovena do not currently receive their own accounts.

4. Shared groups

Tovena is designed around shared groups. Information you add to a group may be visible to other active members of that group.

Before adding information about another person, you must reasonably ensure that you are entitled to provide that information, that the information is appropriate for the group's purpose, and that you do not unnecessarily disclose sensitive or private information.

You are responsible for choosing who you invite to your groups and for sharing join codes or invitations appropriately.

5. Group roles and ownership

Groups may contain different roles and permissions. A group owner has additional control over the group, including certain ownership and deletion actions.

If you own a group and want to delete your Tovena account, you must first either transfer ownership of the group to another eligible member or delete the group. We do not automatically choose a new owner on your behalf.

6. Events and responsibilities

Tovena allows users to assign or request responsibility for events. A responsibility request or assignment in Tovena is a coordination feature only.

Tovena does not guarantee that a person will see a request, accept a responsibility, attend an event, perform an assigned task, or act on a reminder.

Users remain responsible for communicating and coordinating anything that is important, urgent or safety-critical.

Tovena should not be relied upon as an emergency, medical, safety or other critical alert system.

7. Reminders and notifications

Tovena may allow you to schedule local reminders on your device. Delivery can depend on the device, operating system, notification permissions, battery-management settings and other factors outside our control.

We therefore cannot guarantee that a reminder or notification will always be delivered at a particular time.

8. Your content

You retain ownership of content and information that you create and are entitled to own.

You give MODES AS a limited, non-exclusive licence to host, process, reproduce and display that content only as reasonably necessary to provide Tovena, display shared information to authorised group members, maintain and secure the service, and comply with applicable law.

This licence ends when the content is deleted from Tovena, except where shared content or records properly remain as described in these Terms and the Privacy Policy.

9. Acceptable use

• Do not violate applicable law.
• Do not harass, threaten or abuse another person.
• Do not unlawfully share another person's personal information.
• Do not impersonate another person.
• Do not attempt to gain unauthorised access to accounts, systems or data.
• Do not interfere with the operation or security of the service.
• Do not distribute malware or malicious code.
• Do not use the service in a way that materially harms Tovena or other users.

We may restrict or suspend access where reasonably necessary to protect users, comply with law or address serious misuse.

10. Intellectual property

Tovena, including its software, design, branding and other material created by MODES AS, is owned by or licensed to MODES AS and is protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

These Terms do not transfer ownership of Tovena to you. You may use the service only for its intended purpose and in accordance with these Terms.

11. Third-party services

Tovena relies on third-party technology and infrastructure, including services provided by Supabase and Expo. The availability of parts of Tovena may therefore depend on systems outside MODES AS's direct control.

12. Service changes and availability

We aim to provide a useful and reliable service, but Tovena is an evolving product.

We may add or remove functionality, make technical changes, temporarily suspend functionality for maintenance or security, discontinue features, or discontinue the service.

Where reasonably possible and appropriate, we will try to give users notice of material changes that significantly affect their use of the service.

We do not promise uninterrupted or error-free availability.

13. Deleting your account

You may delete your account through:

You must first transfer or delete any groups that you own.

Deleting your account does not necessarily delete shared calendar content previously added to groups. Shared events and relevant history may remain available to other group members, while your deleted membership may be represented as “Former member.”

For more detail, see the Privacy Policy.

14. Termination

You may stop using Tovena at any time.

We may suspend or terminate access where reasonably necessary because of serious or repeated violation of these Terms, unlawful activity, security threats, requirements imposed by law or a competent authority, or discontinuation of the service.

15. No professional or critical-service advice

Tovena is a calendar and coordination tool. Information in Tovena does not constitute medical, legal, financial or other professional advice.

Tovena is not designed to provide emergency services or guaranteed delivery of critical notifications.

16. Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including any mandatory rights you have as a consumer.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, MODES AS is not responsible for indirect loss arising solely from temporary service interruptions, failure of device notifications, information entered incorrectly by users, actions or omissions of other group members, or unauthorised access caused by a user's failure to protect their credentials.

Any limitation in these Terms applies only to the extent permitted by mandatory Norwegian and EEA consumer law.

17. Privacy

Our processing of personal data is described in the Tovena Privacy Policy.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms where reasonably necessary, including because of changes to Tovena, legal or regulatory requirements, security considerations, or changes to the way the service operates.

For material changes, we will provide reasonable notice where required or appropriate. The effective date at the top identifies the current version.

19. Governing law

These Terms are governed by Norwegian law, subject to any mandatory consumer protections that apply to you.

Nothing in these Terms removes rights that a consumer cannot waive under applicable law.
