Here’s the short version:
This summary is provided for convenience only. The legal terms below control.
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the services provided through the
Containd application, the containd.space publishing website, the
containd.app product, catalog (catalog.containd.app), and template-editor
(templates.containd.app) websites, related app variants or feature sets operated by the Provider, and their associated
backend systems (collectively, the “Services”).
The Provider's company website at nextlevelorder.com and the legal documents published at nextlevelorderengineering.com are informational and are not part of the Services governed by these Terms, except where they link to these Terms.
These Terms apply in addition to:
In case of conflict:
By using the Services, you agree to all applicable documents.
You must be at least 16 years old (or the minimum legal age in your jurisdiction) to use the Services. By using the Services, you confirm that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
The core Containd application works on your device without an account. An account is required for online and metered features, including AI processing, barcode lookup, Credit purchases, Cloud Sync, sharing with other accounts, and publishing. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in credentials secure and for activity that occurs under your account. You may not create an account for anyone else or share your account with others.
You may delete your account at any time using the in-app account deletion function or the equivalent function on containd.space. Deleting your account deletes your cloud-side data, including any Spaces you have published. It does not delete data stored locally on your own devices.
Containd provides functionality for managing, organizing, searching, and enriching personal inventory or list data. Inventory data is stored locally on your device by default. Certain optional features rely on artificial intelligence (“AI”) systems, product databases, and Provider-managed cloud infrastructure.
Depending on the app, version, or enabled feature set, the Services may also include:
catalog.containd.app, and the template editor at templates.containd.app;Each online feature is opt-in and can be switched off again in the app's settings. Cloud Sync in particular has separate levels (manual sync, automatic sync, and live updates); enabling one level does not enable the next.
Local reminders and optional remote push notifications. Some app versions may let you create reminders that are stored and scheduled on your device. These local reminders do not require login or backend delivery. Separately, the Services may support optional remote push notifications delivered through third-party notification infrastructure. Remote push may be available even if you are not signed in, provided you have accepted the Privacy Policy, enabled the in-app remote push setting, and granted OS notification permission.
If you are signed in when remote push is enabled, the current push token may be associated with your account identifier so account-related notifications can be targeted to that token. The system uses the push token as the delivery identifier and does not rely on a stable device ID. If you disable remote push in the app, the app is expected to de-register the token and clear local push-registration state. If you later re-enable remote push and OS permission is still granted, the token may be registered again. If you delete your account, the app is expected to deactivate the current token before deletion, and the backend may also clean up remaining account-linked token records.
The Services may change, evolve, or be discontinued at any time. Feature descriptions in marketing material, store listings, or documentation are illustrative and do not constitute a guarantee that a particular feature exists, remains available, or behaves in a particular way in your version.
The Services may include content generated automatically using artificial intelligence.
You acknowledge and agree that:
AI-generated content is provided for informational purposes only and must not be relied upon as professional, legal, medical, financial, insurance, valuation, or factual advice. You are solely responsible for verifying information before acting upon it, including before relying on inventory records or values for insurance, tax, resale, or similar purposes.
The Provider does not guarantee uninterrupted or continuous availability of the Services. No service levels, uptime targets, or response times are promised.
The Services (or parts thereof) may be unavailable due to maintenance, technical issues, third-party outages, force majeure events, or other reasons.
Some features depend on third-party systems that may impose quotas, rate limits, storage limits, bandwidth limits, or usage restrictions — for example limits applied by Google Cloud and Firebase to the infrastructure behind Cloud Sync, publishing, and AI processing, or limits and outages affecting third-party product databases. Such limits may cause delays, reduced functionality, or temporary or permanent unavailability.
The Provider reserves the right to modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time, with or without notice. Where a change materially and adversely affects a paid feature you are actively using, the Provider will give reasonable advance notice through the app, the website, or by email, unless immediate action is required for security, legal, or abuse reasons.
This includes the right to change whether a feature is free, paid, credit-based, quota-limited, download-limited, invite-only, or otherwise conditionally available.
Cloud Sync is an optional, authenticated feature that copies selected app data and files to Provider-managed infrastructure (Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, and Google Cloud Storage) so that they can be used on your other devices and, where you choose, shared with other Containd accounts.
Cloud Sync is not a backup, archive, or disaster-recovery service. It does not keep version history, it does not retain deleted content, and it is not designed to restore a lost library. Deletions propagate: content you delete on one device is deleted in the cloud and on your other devices. You remain responsible for maintaining independent backups of important data, including by using the app's integrated Backup & Restore feature and export functions.
Cloud Sync is a developing feature. It may contain defects, and its behavior, scope, and internal format may change between app versions. Items you have marked as private are, by design, not uploaded by Cloud Sync; templates and categories are also not part of the cloud library. The Privacy Policy describes exactly what is and is not uploaded.
Cloud storage, database operations, and data transfer generate ongoing costs for the Provider. The Provider therefore reserves the right to define and change reasonable limits, including:
Where a limit is exceeded, synchronization may pause, slow down, be queued, or be refused until the limit resets, additional allowance is obtained, or stored volume is reduced. The Provider will make reasonable efforts to ensure that reaching a limit does not prevent you from downloading your own already-synced data, subject to technical availability, account access, abuse prevention, and any applicable download quota — but this is an intention, not a guarantee.
The Provider does not promise to store your cloud data for an unlimited period. In particular, the Provider reserves the right to introduce and apply retention rules, including deleting cloud-stored data and published pages belonging to accounts that have been inactive for an extended period, or that exceed applicable storage limits.
Before deleting data on the basis of inactivity or a newly introduced storage limit, the Provider will give you reasonable advance notice — through the app, the website, or the email address associated with your account — so that you have a fair opportunity to sign in, synchronize, download, export, or back up your data. Notice may be omitted where deletion is required by law, ordered by a competent authority, or necessary to prevent abuse or security harm, or where the account has already been deleted.
It remains your responsibility to keep a current local backup and a working email address on your account. The Provider is not liable for data lost because a notice could not be delivered to an outdated address, or because you did not act on it.
Disabling Cloud Sync, deleting content while sync is enabled, marking content private, or deleting your account causes the corresponding cloud-side data to be deleted or de-identified within a reasonable period, subject to technical backups and legal retention requirements.
If you share a list with other Containd accounts, you are responsible for choosing recipients appropriately and for the consequences of granting access. In a collaborative share, other participants can change or delete shared content, and those changes propagate to you. You can revoke access at any time; revocation applies going forward and does not recall copies already downloaded by a recipient.
Containd does not provide presence, online-status, availability, live timer, or current-activity sharing between users. Any such description in earlier versions of these Terms no longer applies.
Publishing is an optional feature that lets you turn a selected list or canvas into a web page hosted by the Provider at containd.space. Publishing requires an account and your consent to cloud processing, and is a deliberate action initiated by you. Publishing creates a snapshot: the page reflects the content as it was at the time you published, and changes only when you publish again.
A publication (a “Space”) can be set to:
A private link is not access control. It is an unlisted address, not a password. Anyone who receives, forwards, copies, or otherwise obtains the link can open the page. Do not publish content that must remain confidential.
Publication is publication. Once a public Space has been visited or crawled, third parties such as search engines, social networks, messaging previews, and archiving services may retain independent copies, previews, or cached versions. The Provider has no control over those copies and cannot remove them for you.
The Provider gives no guarantee that a Space will be indexed by any search engine, appear in the directory, receive any traffic, remain reachable at a particular address, or continue to render identically as the platform evolves. The Provider may change addresses, page layout, rendering, previews, and directory rules.
By publishing, you represent and warrant that:
Review your Space after publishing. A published page reproduces what the published layout displays. Depending on the template and layout you use, this can include values of custom fields, and it includes every item in the sub-tree beneath the item you selected. The “private” marking on an item governs Cloud Sync, not publishing. Photographs may also contain embedded metadata such as capture time and GPS coordinates. Before sharing an address, open the page and check that it shows only what you intend to make available.
Where you publish personal data of other people, you act as the controller for that publication. The Provider acts as your hosting provider for that content, and you are responsible for having a lawful basis, for providing any required information to the individuals concerned, and for handling their requests. You will inform the Provider promptly if you become aware that a Space must be taken down.
You retain ownership of the content you publish. To operate the publishing feature, you grant the Provider a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence, for as long as the publication exists, to host, store, reproduce, re-encode, resize, compress, generate previews and thumbnails of, index, cache, transmit, and publicly display the published content, and — for public Spaces — to display previews of it in the containd.space directory, in search results and social previews generated from the page, and in the Provider's own listings of published content. This licence exists solely to provide and promote the publishing feature and ends when the publication is deleted, subject to copies already distributed or cached by third parties and to backup and log retention.
The Provider does not claim ownership of your content, will not sell it, and will not use it to train generalized artificial intelligence or machine learning models.
This distinction is important and is the user's responsibility to understand:
| Action | Effect |
|---|---|
| Delete published Space (in the app) | The page is taken offline and its stored data is deleted. |
| Delete permanently (signed in on containd.space) | The page is taken offline and its stored data is deleted. Use this if you no longer have the device or app. |
| Delete your account | All of your published Spaces are deleted. |
| Switch to private link | The public address is withdrawn and indexing is disabled; the page remains reachable via the private link. |
| Abandon publication (in the app) | The page stays online. Only the link between your local item and the publication is removed. |
| Deleting the item locally, emptying the trash, or wiping the local database | The page stays online. Local deletion only removes the link to the publication. |
If you have unbound a publication and later wish to manage it again, sign in and use Connect to existing Space to reconnect to a publication you own. Publishing again after unbinding creates a new address; the previous page is unaffected until you delete it. Withdrawn addresses may be retained in a reserved list so they cannot be claimed by another user.
Deletion removes the page and its stored data from the Provider's systems within a reasonable period. It does not remove third-party copies, caches, or archives, and does not affect the Provider's security logs, moderation records, or backups during their retention periods.
Publishing is currently offered without a separate charge. The Provider reserves the right to make publishing subject to Credits, fees, quotas, or plan limits in the future, and to limit the number of Spaces, the total published storage volume, media sizes, and the traffic served per account. Media files may be re-encoded and reduced in size for delivery. The Provider may also restrict or disable the publishing feature entirely, or discontinue containd.space, subject to the notice provisions in sections 5, 6.3, and 8.
Published pages are subject to the same absence of a storage promise as described in section 6.3, including the possibility of removal after prolonged account inactivity, following reasonable advance notice.
Certain features of the Services require the purchase of prepaid usage units or credits (“Credits”). Credits are purchased through the in-app payment systems provided by Apple or Google and are managed with the help of RevenueCat.
Credits may be used for AI requests, product lookups, Cloud Sync operations, uploads, and other metered service features as described in the app. Metered cloud operations generally work only while sufficient Credits or an applicable free allowance are available. If Credits are depleted, metered operations may pause or be disabled until additional Credits or allowance are available. The Provider intends that Credit depletion alone should not prevent you from downloading your already-synced data, subject to technical availability and any applicable download quota.
Other features may be offered free of charge for some users, apps, regions, or periods of time. The Provider may start charging for such features in the future, may attach quotas or usage caps to them, or may discontinue them, subject to applicable law.
The Provider may offer a limited number of free Credits per month. This complimentary allocation is voluntary, may change in amount or be discontinued at any time, and does not create an entitlement or ongoing right.
The Provider has no long-term cost experience for these features yet. Cloud storage, data transfer, database operations, AI inference, and third-party lookups are billed to the Provider based on actual usage, and those costs may differ significantly from current estimates and may change over time.
The Provider therefore expressly reserves the right to adapt, at its reasonable discretion: Credit prices and package sizes; the number of Credits consumed by a given operation; free allowances; storage, traffic, and download quotas; and which features are free, metered, or restricted to a plan. Adjustments will be based on the Provider's actual and expected costs, third-party pricing, taxes, and the sustainable operation of the Services — not made arbitrarily.
How changes are made. Changes to prices, Credit consumption rates, or quotas are announced in advance through the app's news function, the website, or by email, and take effect only prospectively, for operations performed after the effective date. Credits you have already purchased retain their nominal Credit amount; the number of Credits a given operation consumes may change with reasonable advance notice. If you do not accept a change, you may stop using the affected feature. Any statutory rights you have to object to changes or to terminate remain unaffected, and mandatory consumer protection law prevails over this section.
You acknowledge and agree that:
If you are unable to reasonably use purchased Credits primarily due to a fault within the Provider’s control, you may contact the Provider to request a refund or credit adjustment.
Such requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and granted at the Provider’s reasonable discretion, unless mandatory consumer protection laws require otherwise. Note that purchases made through Apple or Google are subject to those platforms' own refund policies, and a refund may have to be requested from the platform.
Credits have no cash value, are non-transferable, and are not refundable except as explicitly described above or where required by applicable law. Unused Credits do not guarantee future access to any specific price, quota, allowance, or feature configuration.
Service unavailability caused solely by third-party providers or force majeure events does not automatically qualify as a fault within the Provider’s control.
You agree to use the Services only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.
You must not:
The Services are provided as a contained system, and any use outside the intended application environment is prohibited.
Violation of these rules may result in removal of content, restriction of features, or suspension or permanent termination of your account, at the Provider's reasonable discretion. The Provider may also charge you for excess costs demonstrably caused by abusive usage.
The Provider hosts content published by users but does not monitor it proactively and does not adopt it as its own.
Anyone can report a published Space that they believe is unlawful, infringing, or otherwise in breach of section 9, using the report function on
the page when signed in, the notice form at containd.space/legal/report/, or by writing to
legal@containd.app or abuse@containd.app. To allow the Provider
to act, a notice should identify the page address, the specific content complained of, the reason, and — for rights complaints — a statement of
the rights involved and contact details.
Upon a sufficiently substantiated notice, or upon its own detection of a breach, the Provider may remove or disable access to the content, set a Space to private, remove it from the directory, restrict the publishing feature for the account, or suspend the account. Where reasonable and legally permitted, the Provider will inform the affected publisher of the measure and its reasons, and give an opportunity to respond. The Provider may retain the removed content and related evidence for as long as necessary to handle the matter, comply with legal obligations, and defend against claims. Repeated breaches may lead to permanent termination.
Public listing in the containd.space directory is discretionary and may require the Provider's approval. Refusal, removal, or reordering of a directory listing does not affect a Space's direct address.
Nothing in this section limits your statutory rights, including any rights you may have under applicable law governing notice and action procedures for hosting services.
The Provider may suspend or terminate your access to the Services if you violate these Terms, misuse the Services, attempt unauthorized access, publish prohibited content, or pose a risk to system integrity, other users, or third parties.
Suspension or termination may occur without prior notice where necessary to protect the Services, to comply with law, or to prevent harm. In other cases the Provider will give notice appropriate to the circumstances.
Upon termination of your account, your cloud-stored data and published Spaces are deleted. Where lawful and technically possible, the Provider will allow a reasonable opportunity to export or download your own data before deletion, unless immediate deletion is required. You may stop using the Services and delete your account at any time.
All rights, title, and interest in the Services, including software, content, algorithms, designs, templates supplied by the Provider, and branding, remain the exclusive property of the Provider or applicable licensors.
These Terms grant you no ownership rights, only a limited right to use the Services as intended.
Your content. You retain all rights to the content you create or upload through the app (e.g., inventory data, photos, notes). The Provider does not claim ownership of your content. By using the Services, you grant the Provider a limited, non-exclusive licence to process your content solely to the extent necessary to provide the features you have enabled — for example, to analyze images for AI-based item recognition, to store synced data in authenticated cloud infrastructure, to make selected content available to accounts you share with, and to host and display content you publish (section 7.4).
The Provider does not use your content to train generalized artificial intelligence or machine learning models.
Catalog content and templates. Template packs, category packs, sample projects, and documentation offered through
catalog.containd.app remain the property of the Provider or the respective author. You may install and use them within Containd for
your own inventory and list purposes. You may not redistribute, resell, or publish them as your own, or extract them for use outside Containd,
unless the individual package states otherwise. Catalog content is curated by the Provider and may be added, changed, or withdrawn at any time;
the Provider does not guarantee that a particular package remains available or that an installed template continues to be supported in future
app versions.
Templates you author. If you author a template using the template editor, you retain your rights in it. Submitting a template to the catalog does not publish it: publication requires review and release by the Provider, which is at the Provider's discretion and may be refused or reversed. Where the Provider publishes your template in the catalog, you grant the Provider the licence needed to host, display, describe, distribute, and preview it for as long as it is listed.
If you provide feedback or suggestions, the Provider may use them without obligation or compensation to you.
Some features depend on third-party services. The Provider is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, reliability, or behavior of third-party systems.
Your use of third-party services may be subject to separate terms and conditions.
Firebase and related Google Cloud services. Optional service features rely on infrastructure such as Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Google Cloud Storage, Cloud Functions, Firebase Hosting, and related Google Cloud services to authenticate users, store synced data, transfer files, host published pages, and support optional sharing functionality. These systems may experience outages, delays, storage limits, quota restrictions, or policy changes outside the Provider’s control.
Sign-in providers. If you sign in with Google or Apple, your use of those sign-in services is subject to the applicable Google or Apple terms and policies. Containd requests only basic identity information for authentication and does not request access to Google Drive, Google Calendar, or any other Google service data.
AI processing providers. AI requests are processed by the Provider's backend using Google Cloud Vision and Google Gemini via Vertex AI. Availability, model behavior, and output quality depend on those systems and may change without notice.
Product databases. Barcode and product lookups query third-party product databases. The data returned is supplied by those databases, may be incomplete or wrong, and is subject to their own terms and availability.
Remote push delivery providers. Optional remote push notifications may be sent through Expo's push service and then through Apple Push Notification service (APNs) or Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), depending on platform. Delivery depends on those third-party systems, device state, OS permissions, and token validity, and is not guaranteed.
Search engines and social platforms. Whether and how a published Space appears in search results, previews, or social platforms is determined by those third parties and is entirely outside the Provider's control.
RevenueCat (purchase management). In-app purchases are processed through Apple App Store or Google Play billing and managed via RevenueCat. Your use of these payment platforms is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies.
The Services are provided “as is” and “as available.”
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Provider disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, reliability, durability of storage, and continued availability of any address, feature, or price.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
Nothing in these Terms limits liability for intent, gross negligence, injury to life, body or health, or liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law. Where the Provider is liable for slight negligence in breach of a material contractual obligation, liability is limited to typical, foreseeable damages.
Because backup is your responsibility (section 6.1), the Provider's liability for data loss is in any event limited to the effort that would have been required to restore the data had you maintained proper backups.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Provider from claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal costs) arising from your misuse of the Services, your violation of these Terms, your unlawful conduct, or content you published through the Services, including third-party claims relating to intellectual property, personality rights, data protection, or unlawful content. This does not apply to the extent the claim results from the Provider's own breach or fault. This provision does not apply where you are a consumer and mandatory law provides otherwise.
The Provider may update these Terms from time to time, for example to reflect new features, changed infrastructure or costs, or legal requirements. Material changes will be communicated via the app or website with reasonable advance notice before they take effect. Continued use of the Services after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not accept the updated Terms, you may stop using the affected features or delete your account. Statutory rights of consumers regarding contract amendments remain unaffected.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Germany, excluding conflict-of-law principles. Mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence remain unaffected.
The Provider is not obliged and not willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
