Terms of Use

Who provides the app

RescuteKit is published by Art Studio Panamá, based in Panama City, Republic of Panama (https://artstudiogroup.com; "Art Studio" or "we"). Contact: rescutekit@artstudiogroup.com. How we handle your data is explained in the Privacy Policy, which is part of these terms.

What RescuteKit is

RescuteKit is an emergency preparedness and information tool: a 72-hour go bag, a pantry, expiry tracking, disaster guides, first aid, SOS (emergency call, flashlight, Morse signal, flashing light and siren), meeting points with a compass, and weather. Almost everything works without internet, and what you save is backed up to your account when you're online.

It doesn't replace emergency services

RescuteKit is not an emergency service and doesn't connect you to one: the call button opens your phone's dialer with your country's number, and the call needs cell signal. The app doesn't send your location to any service; it shows it to you so you can read it out.

In an emergency, call your country's emergency number. Don't wait to check the app if your life or someone else's is in danger, and always follow the instructions of the authorities and rescue personnel.

Calling emergency services when there is no real emergency may be a crime. You are responsible for every call you make from the app.

It isn't medical advice

The first aid and guides are general information, based on public sources cited in the app. They are not a medical device, they don't diagnose or treat any condition, and they don't replace care from a doctor or a paramedic, or hands-on first aid training. Every person and every situation is different. If you have any doubt about your health or someone else's, see a professional or call emergency services.

What the app suggests keeping in your go bag or pantry (water, food, medicine, batteries, pet supplies) is a reference. You decide what's right for your family, especially if there are babies, pregnancies, older people, allergies or illnesses.

Limits of the information and features

We review the content carefully, but we can't guarantee that it's always complete, up to date or suited to where you are. In particular:

• Emergency numbers are loaded by country and may change or vary by region. Confirm them with your local authorities and let us know if one is wrong.
• The weather comes from Apple WeatherKit and is for information only. It isn't an official alert: when there's a threat, follow the authorities' warnings.
• Location, the compass and distances depend on your phone's GPS and sensors, which can fail or be inaccurate, especially indoors or near metal.
• The flashlight, flashing light, siren and notifications depend on your device, its battery and the permissions you grant. The flashing light may affect people with photosensitivity.
• Expiry alerts depend on the dates you enter.
• The cloud backup only updates when you're online. Changes you make offline are backed up the next time you connect.

Your account

To use RescuteKit you sign in with your Apple or Google account. Those accounts belong to Apple and Google and are governed by their own terms; we don't control their availability. If you lose access to them, you may lose access to your RescuteKit account and your cloud backup.

You are responsible for what is done with your account and your phone. Protect it with a passcode or biometrics. If someone uses your account without permission, email us. You can sign out or delete your account at any time (see "Delete your account").

What is up to you

• Keeping your go bag and pantry up to date: checking expiry dates, condition and quantities. The app helps you remember, but it doesn't check the products for you.
• Storing food, water and medicine according to their labels and a professional's advice.
• Only saving or sharing other people's data (names, ages, health data or a home address) if you have their permission or are their caregiver.
• If you manage a family in Pro, choosing carefully whom you invite and what role you give them: anyone who joins can see what's shared.
• Using the app lawfully and not using it to harass other people or emergency services.

License to use

Art Studio grants you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to install and use RescuteKit on devices you control, for your own and your household's non-commercial use. The app is licensed, not sold.

Except where the law expressly allows it, you may not:

• copy, modify, translate or create derivative works of the app or its content;
• decompile, disassemble or attempt to obtain its source code;
• sell, rent, sublicense or distribute the app or its content, or publish it in another app or website;
• remove authorship notices, trademarks or attributions;
• try to access systems, accounts or data that aren't yours, turn on Pro by unauthorized means, or interfere with how the app works.

Intellectual property

The code, the design, the original text of the guides and first aid, the selection and arrangement of the content, our own icons, the logos and the RescuteKit name belong to Art Studio or are used with their owners' permission, and are protected by copyright and trademark laws, including Panama's Law 64 of 2012. These terms don't give you any rights to them, other than the license to use.

Some of what the app uses belongs to third parties and is governed by its own license: weather data comes from Apple Weather and the sources Apple cites; some icons and fonts have open-source licenses; and the guides cite the public sources they are based on, which remain the property of their authors. Apple, App Store, Google and Google Play are trademarks of their respective owners.

What you save in the app is still yours. You only give us the permission we need to store it, back it up and, if you choose, share it with your family. If you send us suggestions or feedback, we may use them to improve the app with no obligation to pay you.

Third-party links and services

The app may open external websites, such as the sources of the guides or online stores. Those sites aren't ours and have their own terms. Some shopping links may be affiliate links: if you buy, Art Studio may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. The app tells you so next to the link.

RescuteKit Pro

RescuteKit's core features are free, including the cloud backup. RescuteKit Pro is an optional subscription that adds features, such as sharing with your family. If you buy it, these conditions apply:

• Plans and price. Pro is offered as a monthly or annual subscription. You pay the price the store shows when you buy, in your local currency and with any applicable taxes; the app and the store show it to you, along with the length of the period, before you pay. Payment is charged by the App Store or Google Play, using the payment method on your store account.
• Free trial. The annual plan includes a 7-day free trial; the monthly plan has no trial. When the trial ends, the store charges the first year automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. The trial can only be used once, under Apple's and Google's rules.
• Apple Family Sharing. If you buy Pro on the App Store, you can share it with your Apple Family Sharing group, up to 6 people in total including the purchaser. Each person uses their own RescuteKit account, and their data remains theirs. If someone leaves the group or the purchase stops being shared, that person loses Pro. Apple Family Sharing is separate from the family you create inside RescuteKit. On Google Play, the subscription covers only the account that bought it.
• Automatic renewal. The subscription renews automatically at the end of each period, for the same length and at the current price, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. The store charges the renewal within the 24 hours before the end of the period.
• Cancellation. Cancel at any time in the subscription settings of the App Store (Settings › your name › Subscriptions) or Google Play (play.google.com/store/account/subscriptions). You keep Pro until the end of the period you've already paid for. Deleting the app or your account doesn't cancel the subscription.
• Refunds. Because the store does the billing, refunds are decided by Apple or Google under their policies. We can't refund charges directly, but email us and we'll help you request one. This doesn't limit any withdrawal or refund rights the law of your country gives you.
• Price changes. If we change the price, we'll let you know in advance through the store. If it's an increase and you don't accept it, or if you cancel, the subscription ends at the end of the paid period.
• If you go back to the free version. When the subscription ends, you lose the Pro features, such as sharing with your family. Your account and your cloud backup are kept, and you can go back to Pro whenever you want.

Pro trials granted by us. We may also turn on a free Pro trial for specific accounts and for the period we indicate. It's a courtesy: we may end it or not renew it, and it doesn't entitle you to receive Pro afterwards. When it ends, you go back to the free version on the same terms.

The app is provided "as is"

We provide RescuteKit "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we don't guarantee that the app or the cloud backup is error-free, that it works without interruption on every device, or that the content is right for your specific situation. We may change, improve or remove features; if we remove a paid feature, we'll let you know beforehand.

Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows:

• Art Studio isn't liable for indirect damages, lost profits, loss of data or damages resulting from decisions you make based on the information in the app, or for failures of your phone, the phone network or the internet, the battery, the services of Apple, Google or other third parties, or for force majeure.
• Art Studio's total liability for any claim related to the app is limited to what you paid for RescuteKit in the 12 months before the claim. If you haven't paid anything, that cap is 50 US dollars.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law doesn't allow to be limited, such as liability arising from fraud or gross negligence, or the consumer rights that the laws of your country give you and that can't be waived.

If you are a consumer living in the European Union, the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, Art Studio is liable without limit for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and under product liability laws; you also keep the statutory warranties for digital content and services, to which the "as is" clause and the cap above do not apply. In Germany and Austria, for slight negligence we are only liable if we breach an essential contractual obligation (one that makes performing the contract possible and on which you can rely), and only up to the foreseeable damage typical for this kind of contract.

Suspension and termination

You can stop using the app and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account if it's used to violate these terms or the law, to attack the app or to harm other people; unless the law or safety prevents it, we'll let you know beforehand, tell you why and give you a reasonable period to ask us for a copy of your data. When the agreement ends, the license to use ends. The sections on intellectual property, limitation of liability and governing law remain in force.

If you downloaded the app from the App Store

These terms are between you and Art Studio, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content, has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it, and is not responsible for claims about the app (including product liability, legal or regulatory compliance and consumer protection claims, and third-party intellectual property claims), which are Art Studio's responsibility as described here. If the app fails to meet a warranty imposed by law, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price, if any; Apple has no other warranty obligation. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo and are not on any U.S. Government list of restricted parties. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them. If you use Google Play, its terms also apply.

Governing law and claims

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Panama. Any dispute will be submitted to the courts of the Republic of Panama.

If you live in another country and use the app as a consumer, you keep the protection of your country's consumer laws that can't be waived and, where those laws provide for it, you may bring your claim before the courts or authorities of your country. Before a formal claim, email us at rescutekit@artstudiogroup.com: we'll try to resolve it in good faith within 30 days.

Other terms

If any clause of these terms is invalid, the rest remains in force. Not enforcing a clause at a given time doesn't mean we waive it. You may not assign these terms to anyone else; Art Studio may assign them to whoever continues the app, with prior notice. If there are differences between language versions of these terms, the Spanish version prevails.

Changes and effective date

This version of the terms is effective as of November 14, 2026. If we change them, we'll update this page and its date and, if the change is significant, we'll let you know in the app before it applies. If you keep using the app after that date, you accept the new version; if you don't agree, you can delete your account.
