Terms of Use

Schengen Slice for iOS · Effective 26 July 2026

These terms govern your use of the Schengen Slice iOS application (the “app”), published by Nuri Bruner, an individual developer based in France. They sit alongside two other documents: the license that comes with your App Store download (see “License and Apple” below) and the privacy policy. They are written in plain language on purpose — there is no fine print here that says something different from what the app itself tells you.

What the app does — and does not do

The app is a day-counting calculator for the Schengen 90-days-in-any-180-day short-stay rule, with a per-country day tally referenced against the commonly cited 183-day tax-residency threshold. That is its entire scope.

It does not cover, and you must not rely on it for: long-stay (national D) visas or residence permits; the entry conditions attached to a visa you hold; nationality- or asylum-related questions; or any country's domestic tax-residency determination. It only knows about the trips you enter yourself — a missing or wrong entry means a wrong answer. The full scope statement is in the app under Settings → About, and on the support page.

Not legal, immigration, or tax advice

The app provides guidance only. It is not legal advice, immigration advice, or tax advice, and using it does not create any advisory or professional relationship between you and me. Schengen compliance and tax residency both turn on facts the app cannot see — your visa status, your purpose of travel, treaties, and each country's own residency tests. For advice about your own situation, consult a licensed immigration or tax professional.

This applies to support replies too: answers from bruner@nuri.run explain how the app computed a number from the dates you entered. They are not a personal assessment of your immigration or tax position, and I am not a licensed immigration adviser or tax adviser in any country.

Accuracy

The core 90/180 arithmetic — day counting, the rolling 180-day window, the maximum-stay and latest-exit projections — is tested against the European Commission's own public short-stay calculator across hundreds of generated cases, and that test suite is maintained as part of the app's engine. Schengen Slice is not produced, reviewed, or endorsed by the European Commission or any government body.

What I cannot verify: that the dates and countries you entered are complete and correct; that the rules, the Schengen membership list, or the 183-day heuristic remain unchanged after the app version you are using was released; and that your device's clock and time zone are right. At the border, the officer's record — computed by the Entry/Exit System from your biometric entries and exits — is what counts, not this app.

You are responsible for your own compliance

You are solely responsible for the accuracy of what you enter and for your own compliance with immigration and tax law. The app's numbers, warnings, and “stay to the limit” suggestions are aids to your own record-keeping. They are not a compliance certificate and bind no border authority, tax authority, or court.

Notifications are best-effort

Reminders are scheduled entirely on your device, and whether they arrive depends on things outside my control: notification permissions, Focus and Do Not Disturb, Low Power Mode, or iOS itself. I do not guarantee delivery of any notification, and the absence of a warning is not confirmation that you are within any limit. Check the app before you travel.

Your data

The app works fully offline. If you enable iCloud, your trips sync through your own private iCloud account — I never receive them and have no servers. The privacy policy is the complete description. If you rely on the app to reconstruct your travel history, keep your own backup too.

License and Apple

Your license to download and use the app is granted under Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement; I have not replaced it with a custom license. These terms sit alongside that agreement and do not modify its license grant or restrictions. If these terms and the Apple agreement conflict on licensing matters, the Apple agreement controls.

Limitation of liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that the law does not allow me to exclude or limit. In particular, I do not exclude or limit liability for death or personal injury caused by my own act or omission, for fraud (dol), for my own gross negligence (faute lourde), or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded under the mandatory law of your country of residence.

Subject to that paragraph: the app is free, and my total liability to you for any claims arising from these terms or your use of the app is limited to EUR 50. I am not liable for indirect or consequential losses — including fines, denied entry, entry bans, missed travel, or lost profits — arising from reliance on the app's output where the law permits such liability to be limited.

Changes

I may update these terms as the app evolves; changes will be posted at this URL with an updated effective date. I may also change, or stop maintaining or distributing, the app itself — including if the underlying rules change in a way it can no longer model accurately. Because everything is stored on your device and in your own iCloud, you keep access to your own trip data regardless.

Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by French law. That choice does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer-protection rules of the law of your own country of residence, where those apply regardless of a choice of law. Subject to the same principle, the French courts have non-exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from these terms — if you are a consumer in the EU or UK, you keep any right you have to bring or defend proceedings in your own home courts.

Severability and entire agreement

If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest stay in force, and the unenforceable provision is read as narrowly as needed to make it enforceable. These terms, the Apple standard license, and the privacy policy are the entire agreement between you and me about the app.
