This translation is provided for reference only. In case of any discrepancy, the Simplified Chinese version shall prevail.

Last updated: May 29, 2026

Welcome to 持物 iThings (the "App"). These Terms are an agreement between you and the iThings development team (DeveloperDawn, "we") regarding the download, installation, access to and use of the App.

Please read and understand these Terms before using the App. By downloading, installing or using the App, you confirm that you have read and agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you downloaded the App through the Apple App Store, Apple's standard End User License Agreement (EULA) also applies. A link to Apple's standard EULA:

If these Terms conflict with Apple's standard EULA or with mandatory provisions of law, Apple's standard EULA and the mandatory provisions of law prevail.

1. Services

持物 iThings is a personal asset recording, management and analysis tool that mainly provides:

  • Recording of physical assets, investment assets and virtual assets.
  • Management of price, date, category, icon, notes, photos, maintenance, warranty, resale and retirement information.
  • Daily-average cost, per-use cost, per-unit cost, holding period, recovery rate and statistical charts.
  • Wish lists, target dates, budgets and a wish-to-asset flow.
  • Asset reminders, warranty expiry reminders, virtual asset renewal reminders and wish countdowns.
  • iCloud multi-device sync on iOS.
  • Accounts, membership status, device sessions and cloud backup snapshots on Android.
  • Data backup, export and import.
  • App Store icon search, image cropping and on-device background removal.
  • Precious metals market quotes and automatic valuation of metal assets.
  • Home-screen widget asset summaries.
  • Pro membership features.

The features available to you follow the version you have installed and what is shown in the app.

2. Eligibility and accounts

The core asset-tracking capabilities do not necessarily require an account. Some capabilities depend on the platform or account services:

  • iCloud sync on iOS requires you to sign in with your Apple ID and enable iCloud.
  • iOS purchases, subscriptions, restoration and refunds are handled by Apple App Store/StoreKit.
  • Android accounts, membership status, device sessions and cloud backup snapshots use the iThings backend.
  • Camera, photo library, notifications and similar capabilities require the corresponding system permissions.

You represent that you are eligible to use the App and the related services and that you will comply with the laws and regulations applicable in your region.

3. User data and responsibilities

You are responsible for the data you enter, import, manage, export, upload and share in the App, including but not limited to asset names, prices, dates, photos, notes, sign-in information and backup files.

You agree that you will:

  • Only provide data from lawful sources that does not infringe the intellectual property, privacy or other lawful rights of others.
  • Not use the App to store, distribute or process unlawful, infringing, fraudulent or malicious content.
  • Not disrupt, interfere with, reverse engineer or abuse the interfaces of the App, the website or the backend services.
  • Keep your devices, Apple ID, iCloud account, Android account, backup files and sensitive records safe.
  • Keep email verification codes confidential and never disclose them to others; after a password reset completed with an email verification code, existing device sessions will be signed out.

Asset data, statistics, valuations and cost calculations in the App are for personal record-keeping and reference only. Any purchase, sale, investment, subscription, warranty or other decision you make based on such data is your own judgment and at your own risk.

4. Privacy and data storage

We handle your data as described in the 持物 iThings Privacy Policy. Please read the Privacy Policy before using the App.

In brief:

  • Data is stored locally on your device by default.
  • On iOS, after enabling iCloud sync, data syncs to your personal private iCloud database.
  • Android accounts, membership status and cloud backup snapshots use the iThings backend at https://api.ithingsapp.com.
  • Backup files may contain complete asset and photo information — keep them safe.
  • If you enter account names, passwords or other sensitive information in virtual assets, assess the risk yourself and use caution.

5. Pro membership and in-app purchases

持物 iThings Pro may include benefits such as more assets, more categories, more wish list items, sync, data backup and automatic precious metals valuation. The specific benefits follow what the in-app membership page shows.

Purchase methods, prices, billing periods, trials, offers, taxes, renewals, cancellations and refund rules follow the platform, in-app pages and payment confirmation screens you actually use.

For auto-renewing subscriptions:

  • Payment is charged through your platform account after purchase confirmation.
  • Unless you cancel before the end of the current billing period according to platform rules, the subscription may renew automatically.
  • You can manage the subscription through the respective app store, system settings or in-app guidance.
  • After cancelling, you can continue using the benefits for the period already paid for.
  • Refunds, billing, failed payments and price-change notices are handled by the respective platform or payment channel under their own rules.

6. Precious metals quotes and investment disclaimer

The App may provide precious metals market quotes and automatic valuation. Quotes come from third-party public market services and may be delayed, inaccurate, interrupted or unavailable.

The App does not provide investment, financial, tax, legal or trading advice. Metal prices, asset valuations, returns and recovery rates are for personal record-keeping and reference only and should not be the sole basis for any buying, selling, investment or financial decision. Verify information yourself and bear the corresponding risks.

7. Sync and backup risks

iCloud sync on iOS is provided by Apple iCloud/CloudKit. Sync may be delayed, interrupted or fail due to network conditions, iCloud storage, Apple ID status, system permissions, Apple service status or device settings.

Android cloud backup snapshots are provided by the iThings backend. Uploads, downloads or restores may fail due to network problems, account status, server maintenance, storage issues or app version differences.

Exported backup files may contain complete assets, wish list items, categories, photos and notes — keep them safe. For data loss caused by lost or damaged devices, accidental deletion, sync service failures, lost backup files, user misuse or third-party service problems, we will provide assistance and explanations within a reasonable scope, but we do not accept liability beyond what the law requires.

8. Third-party services

To implement specific features, the App may call Apple StoreKit, iCloud/CloudKit, the iTunes Search API, the system photo library, camera and notifications, Android system services, app store services, the iThings backend, and the precious metals quote services Gold API and metals.dev.

Third-party services are operated by their respective providers; their availability, data handling and service rules are governed by their own terms and policies. We minimize what is transmitted, but we cannot control the operation of third-party services.

9. Intellectual property

The App, the website, interface designs, the icon system, copy, trademarks, logos, source code structure and related intellectual property belong to us or to lawful licensors.

The personal data you create or import in the App belongs to you. You must ensure that the photos, icons, names and text you import or use do not infringe third-party rights.

Without our written permission, you may not copy, modify, decompile, reverse engineer, rent, sell, sublicense or distribute the App or any of its parts, except as permitted by law.

10. Changes, interruptions and disclaimers

We work to keep the App, website and backend services stable and your data secure, but the services are provided "as is" and "as available". Features may be temporarily unavailable or data delayed due to system upgrades, network problems, platform adjustments, third-party outages, device failures, server maintenance or force majeure.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for losses caused by:

  • Data that you enter, import, upload or share being inaccurate, incomplete or unlawful.
  • You deleting, overwriting, exporting, uploading, sharing or leaking data yourself.
  • Abnormalities in your devices, system, iCloud, Apple ID, Android account, third-party services or network environment.
  • Your failure to back up data in a timely manner.
  • Service interruptions, data corruption or unavailability not caused by our intent or gross negligence.

11. Changes to these Terms and termination

We may modify these Terms due to product updates, laws and regulations, review requirements or operational needs. Updated Terms are published through in-app entry points, this website, release notes or other appropriate channels.

If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you may stop using the App. Continued use of the App constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

If you seriously violate these Terms or the law, we may limit or terminate the relevant services to you within the scope permitted by law.
