Terms of use

Last updated 21 September 2026.

The short version: the app is free and has no adverts, your log lives on your phone, and friends are optional and off until you turn them on.

The agreement

Beer Vault is an app made by Pikeworks, a sole trader in Northern Ireland. By installing it you agree to these terms. If you don't, please uninstall it.

Who it is for

Beer Vault is for people old enough to buy alcohol where they live, which is 18 in the United Kingdom. It's a record of what you've drunk, not an encouragement to drink more: every challenge in it is about trying something different, and nothing in it is ever ranked by volume.

What you get

The app is free to use. You can use it on any device you own. You can't sell it, take it apart to pass off as your own, or use it to break the law.

Purchases

Beer Vault Pro and the individual looks are one-off payments, not subscriptions. They're handled by Google Play or the App Store, so the store takes the payment and its own terms apply to it. What you've bought stays bought and comes back with Restore purchases on a phone signed in to the same store account. Refunds are the store's to give, and your rights as a consumer are unaffected.

Your log

Everything you log is kept on your phone. Settings has Back up everything, Restore from a backup and Export as CSV, and all three are free and always will be. Charging someone to get their own records out would be a poor way to behave.

Friends, if you turn them on

Vault Social is off until you switch it on, and the app works fully without it. If you do turn it on you get a handle and a device key rather than an email address and a password, and the community rules apply to anything you post. Break them and the account can be removed. You can delete it yourself at any time, in the app or from the delete page.

Availability and liability

The app is provided as it is. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, and your statutory rights as a consumer aren't affected. Beyond that, and as far as the law allows, Pikeworks isn't liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost data or lost records, and any liability is limited to what you've paid for purchases in the twelve months before the claim.

Law

These terms are governed by the law of Northern Ireland, and its courts have jurisdiction. If you live elsewhere in the United Kingdom or in the EU, you keep the protections of your own local law.
