W3Schools / Terms of Service EU

W3Schools terms now cover mobile apps and in-app subscription billing

The terms now state they also apply to W3Schools mobile apps such as the Adventure app. A new section says app payments go through Apple or Google, subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled 24 hours before the period ends, and refunds follow Apple's or Google's policies. RevenueCat is named as the service managing in-app subscriptions.

Taken from you

  • Auto-renewing app subscriptions must be cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends
  • Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription
  • Refunds for in-app purchases depend on Apple's or Google's policies, not W3Schools
  • RevenueCat is used to manage in-app subscriptions

Won back

  • Clear statement of where to manage or cancel app subscriptions (App Store or Google Play settings)
  • Pointer to the Privacy Policy for how data is handled
