VialOwlTerms of use
These terms apply to the VialOwl apps for iPhone and Android and to this website, provided by Spherify Pty Ltd ("we", "us"). By using VialOwl you agree to them. They sit alongside the terms of the store you downloaded VialOwl from: Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement for the App Store, and the Google Play Terms of Service for Google Play.
What VialOwl is
VialOwl is an education and general interest app. It summarises published research, shows simulated levels calculated from published pharmacokinetic models, and lets you keep your own records.
What VialOwl is not
- It is not medical advice and is not intended to be a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition.
- It never recommends a dose, a compound or a schedule. Every amount and schedule in the app is entered or chosen by you.
- Simulated levels are model outputs from population averages. They are not measurements, and a real person's levels will differ.
- It does not sell, supply or promote any compound. Many of the compounds it describes are not approved medicines in Australia or elsewhere, and their inclusion is not an endorsement.
Always talk to a doctor or pharmacist before starting, stopping or changing any medicine. In an emergency, call 000 in Australia or your local emergency number.
Information in the app
We take care to source and review what VialOwl shows, and we cite our sources. Research changes, registries lag, and errors can occur, so we cannot guarantee that everything is complete, current or free of mistakes. Research updates from ClinicalTrials.gov are shown as registered and have not been reviewed by us.
Dilution calculator
The dilution calculator is an experimental tool, shown only when experimental compounds are switched on, that performs arithmetic on the numbers you enter or on a vial's recorded amount and liquid, and shows every step. It never fills in a dose, does not tell you what to take or draw, and is not offered for approved medicines that come ready to use. Only use products you are legally authorised to use, prepared and dosed as your prescriber or pharmacist directs, and check every figure against your syringe markings. You are responsible for how you use any result.
Lawful use
VialOwl is for recording medicines and products you are legally authorised to use. Do not use it to plan the use of products that are unlawful for you to possess or use where you live.
Your records
Your records stay on your device and you are responsible for keeping them backed up. Backups are protected by a password only you know; if it is lost, the backup cannot be opened. See the privacy policy for details.
Purchases and subscriptions
- VialOwl is free to download. VialOwl Pro is optional and sold through the App Store on iPhone and Google Play on Android as an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly, or as VialOwl Pro Lifetime, a single payment that does not renew. A purchase made in one store does not carry over to the other.
- New subscribers may receive a 3 day free trial. On the App Store, if you do not cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the subscription starts and your Apple Account is charged. On Google Play, if you do not cancel before the trial ends, the subscription starts and the payment method in your Google Account is charged.
- Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled. On the App Store, cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, in iOS Settings under your Apple Account, Subscriptions. On Google Play, cancel before the renewal date, in the Google Play app under Payments and subscriptions, Subscriptions.
- Prices are shown in the App Store or Google Play before you buy. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their own policies.
- Safety information is always free.
Acceptable use
Do not copy, resell or redistribute the app's content, attempt to reverse engineer the app, or use it for anything unlawful.
Your rights under Australian law
Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law or other law that cannot be excluded. Apart from those rights, and to the extent the law allows, VialOwl is provided as is, and we are not liable for loss arising from your reliance on information in the app or website.
Changes
We may update these terms. The effective date above shows when they last changed. Continuing to use VialOwl after a change means you accept the updated terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia.
