Terms of Use

Effective: November 12, 2026 · Applies to the Tally iPhone app

The short version

About these terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") cover the Tally iPhone app and its subscription. By using Tally, you agree to them. Tally is provided by its developer, named as the seller on Tally's App Store page ("we" or "us").

Apple's standard license

Tally is licensed to you under Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Standard EULA"). These Terms add to it. If the two conflict, the Standard EULA controls, except for "Minors, parents and guardians" and "Governing law" below, which apply instead of anything in the Standard EULA that says otherwise. Questions and claims about Tally come to us, not to Apple.

Subscriptions and the free trial

Tally Annual is a subscription that lasts one year and renews automatically every year until you cancel. Its price is the one the App Store shows on Tally's subscription screen before you buy. That screen also lists what the subscription includes. Tally works only at schools that have enabled it, so please check that yours has before you subscribe.

Free trial. If your Apple Account is eligible, Tally Annual starts with a free 2-week trial, and the subscription screen shows the date it ends. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, Apple then charges you the yearly price.

Renewals. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date, Apple charges the yearly price again and your subscription continues for another year. If the price ever changes, Apple tells you before the new price applies, and asks for your agreement where its rules require it. While your subscription is set to renew, Tally reminds you on your iPhone 40 and 20 days before it renews, if you allow notifications.

After you subscribe. Tally shows a confirmation with your plan, amount, renewal date and how to cancel, and you can open it again in Tally's Settings > Subscription. If you redeem an offer code, the terms Apple shows you when you redeem it apply. Tally's subscription can't be shared through Family Sharing.

Without a subscription. Your Dashboard stays free, and Tally keeps showing the information it last saved but doesn't refresh it.

School seats. If your school gives you Tally through Apple, your school holds that purchase, so questions about it go to your school.

Cancelling

Apple manages your subscription, so you cancel it through Apple: on your iPhone, go to Settings > your name > Subscriptions, or tap Manage Subscription in Tally's Settings > Subscription. After you cancel, Tally's Settings > Subscription shows the date your subscription stays active until. Deleting Tally, or using Sign Out & Erase, doesn't cancel your subscription.

Refunds

Apple handles payments and refunds, and we can't issue refunds ourselves. To ask Apple for one, tap Request a Refund in Tally's Settings > Subscription, or visit reportaproblem.apple.com. Apple decides refund requests under its own policies. If your school turns Tally off while you're subscribed, Tally tells you, and you can then cancel or ask Apple for a refund.

Using Tally

Tally shows your own Canvas information, using your own Canvas sign-in, at schools that have enabled it. It reads that information from Canvas: it doesn't change your grades or coursework there, and What-If scores stay on your iPhone. When you use Tally, please:

• use it only with your own Canvas account;
• follow your school's rules and Canvas's own terms;
• not try to see information you aren't allowed to see, or get around your school's settings;
• not interfere with Canvas, Tally or tally-app.dev, for example by overloading them, and not test them for security problems except as our Security page describes.

Your information

There is no Tally account and no Tally server holding your data. Your Canvas information goes from your school's Canvas to your iPhone, and isn't sent to us. Our Privacy Policy explains what Tally uses, where it goes, and how to delete it.

Minors, parents and guardians

Tally is used by students who may be under 18. If you're under 18, or under the age of majority where you live, please read these Terms with a parent or guardian. Where Apple indicates that age rules apply, Tally asks Apple for your age range, and a parent or guardian may need to give permission through Apple before you can keep using Tally. A purchase can also need a parent's approval through Apple's Ask to Buy. Where a state law requires a parent's or guardian's consent, we will not enforce these Terms or the Standard EULA against a minor who doesn't have that consent.

Instructure and Canvas

Tally is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Instructure, Inc. Canvas is a trademark of Instructure, Inc. Your school and Instructure, not we, run Canvas and decide when it's available.

Disclaimers

Tally shows a copy of the information your school's Canvas provides, and your school's Canvas remains the official record. Tally may show saved information while Canvas is slow or you're offline, and the grades it calculates, such as What-If results and estimates, can differ from your school's. Reminders depend on your iPhone's notification settings and on what Canvas provides, so please don't rely on Tally alone for an important deadline. To the extent the law allows, Tally is provided "as is" and "as available", as the Standard EULA's "No Warranty" section says.

Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, our liability to you is limited as the Standard EULA's "Limitation of Liability" section sets out. Nothing in these Terms limits a right you have under a law that can't be waived by contract, such as consumer-protection laws where you live.

Changes to these terms

If we change these Terms, we'll update the effective date above and describe the change in the app's release notes. If a change is significant under the law, we'll tell the App Store before it takes effect, and a parent or guardian may be asked through Apple to approve it again.

Governing law

These Terms, the Standard EULA and any dispute about Tally are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
