By downloading, installing, or using the Tippa app (bundle identifier com.mk.tippa, the “app”), you agree to these Terms and Conditions. Please read them carefully; if you do not agree, do not use the app. These terms are between you and Maximilian Keppeler (“I”, “me”), the provider of the app. The app is distributed through the Apple Mac App Store, and Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies to your use of the app; where these terms and Apple’s agreement differ, these terms govern the relationship between you and me to the extent permitted.
You must be at least 16 years old to use the app, or older if required by the laws of your country. If you are under the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, you may use the app only with the involvement and consent of a parent or guardian. If you are under 18, you confirm that your parent or legal guardian has agreed to these Terms and consents to any purchase made on your behalf. The purchase of the app is concluded with Apple; where the law requires it, a minor may purchase only with a guardian’s prior consent.
I grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app as distributed through the Mac App Store, for your own personal purposes and subject to the Mac App Store terms under which you obtained it. The app is provided as proprietary software; all rights in the app and its source code, together with my name, the app icon, and the “Tippa” trademark, are reserved and remain mine. You may not resell or redistribute the compiled app, or misuse my name, app icon, or trademarks. Nothing in these terms limits any right you have under applicable law that cannot be excluded by contract, including any mandatory right to observe, study, or decompile software for interoperability.
The app requires no account and no sign-in. It works entirely on your Mac, and your data stays on your device, as described in the Privacy Policy. You are responsible for keeping your own device and its backups secure.
The typing statistics and preferences the app creates are yours and are stored on your device. I receive no copy of them. The app lets you export your progress to a file and import it back at any time; exported files are your responsibility once they leave the app, and you are responsible for any file you choose to import.
You agree not to misuse the app, including by attempting to disrupt or compromise its security, accessing it through unauthorized means, or using it for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these terms.
Tippa is a paid app, purchased once through the Mac App Store. There are no in-app purchases and no subscriptions. Payment, billing, and refunds are handled by Apple under the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, not by me; refund requests are made to Apple.
If you are a consumer in the EU/EEA or the UK, you have a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal for digital purchases. By downloading the app immediately after purchase you expressly request that performance begin at once and acknowledge that your right of withdrawal is lost once the download has begun. Your mandatory statutory rights, including any store-level refund policies operated by Apple, are unaffected.
I am committed to keeping the app useful and reliable, and may update, change, or discontinue features over time. If a future version introduces an optional cloud-sync feature or any other functionality that changes how your data is handled, that will be reflected in an updated Privacy Policy before the feature is made available.
The app itself integrates no third-party services. Distribution and payment are provided by Apple through the Mac App Store, which has its own terms, including the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and the Licensed Application End User License Agreement.
The app is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind to the extent permitted by law. Tippa is a typing-practice tool, not a medical or health service, and does not provide medical advice. If you experience discomfort, strain, or pain while typing, take breaks and consult a qualified professional; do not rely on the app for any health or ergonomic decision.
To the extent permitted by law, I am not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of data arising from your use of the app — please keep your own backups of anything important, including exported progress files. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for intent, gross negligence, injury to life, body, or health, or any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law. If you are a consumer, your mandatory statutory rights are not affected.
You may stop using the app at any time, and you may delete all of your data at any time in Settings → Data or by removing the app from your Mac; deletion takes effect immediately. On termination, the license granted to you under these terms ends.
These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, you also benefit from the mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the country in which you reside, and may bring proceedings in your local courts.
I am not obliged, and am not willing, to participate in dispute-resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (Verbraucherschlichtungsstelle) within the meaning of the German Consumer Dispute Resolution Act (§ 36 VSBG). Consumers in the EU can find information about national alternative dispute-resolution bodies via the European Commission’s consumer-redress information site.
If any provision of these terms is found invalid, the remaining provisions remain in effect. These terms constitute the entire agreement between you and me regarding the app. I may update these Terms. For material changes I will give reasonable advance notice where I have a way to reach you (for example, in a future app update or on this page), explain the change, and tell you when it takes effect and that you may reject it by stopping use before then. Minor changes, or changes required by law, may take effect when posted, shown by the updated “Last updated” date.

These Terms and Conditions are effective as of 17 July 2026.
