Terms of use

Last updated August 25, 2026

The short version

01 Who you're agreeing with

These terms are an agreement between you and Kevin Kheira, an independent developer, who builds and runs dally.

Using dally means you accept what's on this page. If you don't, the honest answer is not to use it, and you can delete your account at any time from Settings.

dally is available through Apple's App Store, so Apple's own terms apply to you as well, alongside these. Where Apple's rules for the App Store say something stricter than this page does, Apple's rules win. Apple is not a party to this agreement, and dally, not Apple, is responsible for the app and its content.

You need to be at least 13 to use dally. If you're under 18, read this with a parent or guardian.

02 Your account

dally uses Sign in with Apple, so there's no password to invent and none for anyone to lose. Keep the Apple ID behind it secure, because whoever holds it holds your trips.

You're responsible for what happens under your account. If you think someone else is in it, change your Apple ID security first, then get in touch.

You can delete your account whenever you like, from Settings. What that removes, and the few things it can't reach, is written out plainly in the privacy policy.

03 dally Pro

Planning a trip, sharing it, and joining someone else's are free. dally Pro is a paid subscription that lifts the limits on a few things.

What it costs, and for how long

dally Pro is offered as an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly. The exact price, the length of the period, and any free trial are shown to you in the app before you buy, in your own currency. Prices differ by country, so the app is the accurate answer, not this page.

How the billing works

Payment is charged to your Apple ID account when you confirm the purchase. Here is the part people most want stated plainly:

Your subscription renews by itself. It keeps going, and keeps being charged, until you cancel it.

Apple charges you for the next period within 24 hours before the current one ends. To stop that, turn off auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the current period ends.

Cancelling

You cancel with Apple, not with dally, because Apple is who holds the subscription. On your iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and turn dally Pro off. You can also do it from your Apple account subscriptions page. dally cannot cancel it for you and cannot do it faster than that screen can.

Cancelling stops the next charge. It doesn't cut the period you already paid for, so Pro stays on until that period runs out.

Free trials

If a free trial is offered and you take it, cancel at least 24 hours before it ends or it turns into a paid subscription at the price shown. If you buy a subscription while a free trial is running, the rest of the trial is forfeited. That's Apple's rule for every app, not a dally one.

Refunds

Refunds are Apple's to give, since Apple took the payment. Ask through reportaproblem.apple.com. If a refund is the fair outcome and Apple has said no, write anyway and it will get a real answer.

If the price changes

If the price goes up, Apple will tell you and ask whether you agree before charging you the new amount. If you don't agree, the subscription simply stops at the end of the period you already paid for.

What Pro unlocks, and what happens if you stop

Pro lifts the monthly limits on importing bookings and scanning receipts, and it opens guest travelers, itemized claims and claim links for splitting a bill.

If your subscription lapses, nothing you already made locks up. Receipts stay itemized, guests stay on the trip, and anyone you shared with can still claim their lines. Pro gates making new things, never keeping what you made or joining in on someone else's trip.

04 What you put in dally

Your trips, notes, photos and receipts are yours. dally doesn't claim ownership of any of it, and doesn't use it to train anything.

For dally to work at all it needs your permission to do the obvious mechanical things with what you write: store it in your iCloud account, sync it to your other devices, show it to the people you deliberately share a trip with, and render it into the posters and stamps you ask for. That permission covers those purposes and stops there.

You're responsible for what you put in. Keep the rights to the photos you add, and don't upload anything you aren't allowed to.

You can export everything, any time, from Export all data in Settings.

05 Sharing trips and bills

Sharing is the point of dally, and it's also the part where a person can do something they didn't mean to. So read this section even if you skip the rest.

A shared trip

When you share a trip, everyone you invite can see what's on it and add to it. A link that gets forwarded works exactly as well for the next person as it did for the one you sent it to, so send it to the people you actually want there.

The trip's owner can change the group's access or stop sharing entirely, which closes the link and takes everyone's access with it.

An invite board

If you use an invite code, the board behind it shows your name, your photo, where the trip is going, when, and a stripped-back outline of the plan, to anyone who has the code. Addresses, confirmation numbers, seats and costs are deliberately left off it. Treat the code like the invitation it is.

A claim link for a bill

A claim link opens a page anyone can use without installing anything or making an account. Whoever holds that link can see the merchant, the total, the line items, and the first names of everyone at the table, and can tap the lines that were theirs or add themselves by name.

That's what makes it useful in a group chat, and it's also its limit: a claim link is a key, and anyone holding it can use it. Share it with the table, not with the internet. You can stop a link from the receipt at any time, and every link expires by itself after seven days.

Who's responsible for what

You're responsible for what you share and who you share it with. The people you invite are responsible for what they add. dally is a place to put the plan, not a party to your arrangements with your friends, and the numbers in a split are a calculator's answer, not a settlement.

06 Using dally decently

Most of this is obvious, but a terms page that leaves it unsaid is no use to anyone who needs to point at it. Don't use dally to:

If something you do breaks this, your access can be suspended or ended. Where that's a judgement call rather than an obvious one, you'll get a reason, from a person.

If you see something on a shared trip, an invite board or a claim page that shouldn't be there, email support@planwithdally.com and it will be looked at.

07 Pictures a machine made

Some of the imagery in dally is generated by a machine rather than drawn or photographed by a person. The line-art of your destination is generated, and so are some of the city photographs on Explore, when no public-domain photograph of that place exists.

They're decoration. A generated skyline is an impression of a place, not a photograph of it and not a document, and it should never be read as evidence of what somewhere looks like.

Where the app can tell you a picture was generated, it does. Which pictures those are, and how they're made, is written out in the privacy policy.

08 Other people's services

dally leans on services it doesn't run: Apple's iCloud and WeatherKit, Apple Maps for finding places, and a small number of others named in the privacy policy. Their terms govern their side of it, and when one of them is down or wrong, dally is down or wrong in the same place.

dally also shows things from the wider internet when you paste a link. What's behind that link is its author's, not dally's.

Weather, flight times, maps and travel information are provided for convenience. Check anything that a missed connection would depend on against the airline, the hotel or the operator.

09 Changes, breaks and endings

dally is actively built, so it changes. Features arrive, and occasionally one is retired. If something is going away that you'd miss, you'll be told inside the app before it goes.

These terms can change too. If a change is meaningful, the date at the top of this page changes and the app will point you here. Carrying on using dally after that means the new version applies.

You can stop whenever you like: delete your account in Settings, and cancel any subscription with Apple as described above. Deleting the app on its own doesn't cancel a subscription, because Apple holds the subscription and not the app.

dally's side can end too, if the app is discontinued. If that ever happens, you'll get notice and a way to take your data with you, because your export already exists and isn't going to be taken away.

10 No promises about the world

dally is provided as is, without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law where you live allows that. There's no promise that it will be uninterrupted, error free, or that what it shows you is accurate.

Concretely, and this is the part that matters on a trip: dally is not a booking service, a bank or a travel agent. It doesn't book, hold or guarantee anything. An itinerary in dally is a record of what you told it, and a split is arithmetic. Neither is a reservation, a contract or a payment.

Some countries don't allow a disclaimer like this to take away rights you have as a consumer. Where that's true, those rights still stand and nothing here removes them.

11 Limits on liability

To the extent the law allows, dally isn't liable for indirect or consequential losses: a missed flight, a lost booking, a disagreement over a bill, or data lost through a service dally doesn't run.

Where liability can't be excluded, it's limited to the greater of the amount you paid for dally in the twelve months before the claim, or twenty US dollars.

Nothing here limits liability for fraud, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for anything else the law says can't be limited. If you're a consumer, your statutory rights are untouched by this section.

12 Governing law

[KEVIN + COUNSEL]

This clause is deliberately unwritten. Which law governs this agreement, and where a dispute would be heard, is a decision with real consequences for a solo developer distributing worldwide. It should be chosen by Kevin with a lawyer, not drafted by the process that produced the rest of this page.

What needs deciding: the governing law and venue; whether consumers in the EU and UK keep the right to their local courts and local mandatory law, which they largely do regardless of what a clause says; and whether an arbitration or class-action waiver clause belongs here at all, which is a genuine judgement call and not a default.

Until that clause is settled, nothing in this section is claimed, and your rights under the law where you live apply in full.
