Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern access to and use of the Egidio application, published by Gilles FABER (The Pistachio Lab) — see the Legal Notice for full publisher identification. By installing or using Egidio, you accept these Terms without reservation.

1. Purpose and description of the service

Egidio is a protection application against telemarketing, spam and scams, operating on phone calls, SMS, and notifications from third-party messaging apps (WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.). Analysis and detection happen entirely on the user's device; no communication content is ever transmitted to remote servers.

Egidio offers several service tiers: a free tier (calls and SMS), and paid tiers (Premium, Family) unlocking extended protection to third-party messaging apps, Family mode, and advanced features. Full feature details by tier are presented in the app and on the Google Play listing.

2. Subscriptions, free trial and billing

Some features are offered by subscription (monthly, annual, Family) or one-time purchase (lifetime license), via Google Play's billing system. Prices in effect are those shown in the app and on the Google Play listing at time of purchase; they may change, with no effect on a subscription already active at its original price.

A free trial may be offered (no credit card required), managed locally by the app. It does not constitute a contractual commitment with Google Play and ends automatically at term, with no renewal or charge, unless the user actively subscribes to a paid plan.

Paid subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period, unless cancelled by the user before the renewal date. Cancellation is done directly from Google Play's subscription settings (Play Store → Payments & subscriptions), not from within the app.

3. Right of withdrawal

Under applicable consumer law, the right of withdrawal typically does not apply to digital content supplied on a non-material medium once performance has begun with the consumer's prior express agreement and acknowledgment of the loss of that right. By subscribing or purchasing an item giving immediate access to paid features, you expressly consent to this immediate performance and waive your right of withdrawal for the content already accessible. Where local law grants a mandatory cooling-off period regardless (e.g. certain EU member states), that mandatory right prevails.

For refund requests, Google Play's policy applies: support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2479637.

4. Limitation of liability

Egidio uses reasonable, up-to-date means to detect telemarketing, spam, and scam attempts, but does not guarantee exhaustive detection of every existing or future threat. The user remains solely responsible for decisions made following alerts or blocks issued by the app, and for staying alert to suspicious communications that were not detected (false positives and false negatives are inherent to any automated analysis).

The publisher cannot be held liable for direct or indirect damages resulting from: an undetected scam, the blocking of a legitimate communication, temporary unavailability of the service, or non-compliant use of the application.

5. Intellectual property

The application, its detection engine, its signatures, its interface, and its visual identity remain the exclusive property of the publisher, as specified in the Legal Notice.

6. Termination and suspension

The user may uninstall the app and cancel any subscription at any time via Google Play. The publisher reserves the right to suspend access to the service in the event of fraudulent use, a breach of these Terms, or a breach of applicable regulations.

7. Changes to these Terms

These Terms may be modified at any time to reflect changes in the service or in applicable regulations. The version in force is the one published at this address; continued use of the application after a modification constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

8. Governing law

These Terms are governed by French law. Any dispute, absent an amicable resolution, falls under the jurisdiction of the courts of Strasbourg, subject to mandatory consumer-protection rules applicable in your country of residence (for example, UK, US, Australian, or Canadian consumers retain the protections granted by their local consumer law regardless of this clause).

9. Contact
