# Terms of Use — The Jimmy Handbook
Effective date: 06 May 2026
Publisher: Locstat Consulting (“**we**”, “**us**”, “**our**”)
These Terms of Use (“**Terms**”) govern your use of the iOS application The Jimmy Handbook (the “**App**”). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
---
## 1. The App
The Jimmy Handbook is an offline-first reference and training aid. It bundles selected reference materials (for example tactical planning aids, reporting formats, and military map symbology reference content) in a structured form (including navigation, table of contents, and on-device rendering). The App is intended to support education, study, and professional reference. It is not a substitute for current official publications, orders, or authorised distribution channels required for operational use.
---
## 2. Apple Standard End User Licence Agreement
Your use of the App is also subject to Apple’s Licensed Application End User Licence Agreement (“**Apple Standard EULA**”) as applicable to apps obtained through the Apple App Store. If these Terms conflict with the Apple Standard EULA on matters within Apple’s scope, the Apple Standard EULA controls for that scope only.
---
## 3. Licence to you
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, in accordance with Apple’s usage rules. You may not:
- copy, modify, or create derivative works of the App (except as allowed by applicable law);
- rent, lease, sell, sublicense, or distribute the App or any licence key;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
- remove or alter proprietary notices;
- use the App in any way that violates applicable law or third-party rights.

## 4. Intellectual property — the App
The App software, user interface, compilation of materials as presented in the App, and App-specific formatting and structure are protected by intellectual property laws and remain our property or that of our licensors. These Terms do not grant you any rights in our trademarks except the limited right to refer to the App by name in ordinary use.
---
## 5. Third-party and incorporated materials; fair use and fair dealing
### 5.1 General
The App may include text, tables, diagrams, symbols, and other content originally drawn from or aligned with third-party sources, including without limitation military reference publications, NATO-related symbology and doctrine-style references, national armed forces training or reference material, and similar works (collectively, “**Incorporated Materials**”). Incorporated Materials may be protected by copyright, neighbouring rights, or other intellectual property rights held by third parties (including governments, international organisations, publishers, or others). We do not claim ownership of the underlying Incorporated Materials where owned by third parties.
### 5.2 Good-faith basis for inclusion (United States — fair use)
To the extent Incorporated Materials are protected by U.S. copyright, we believe our inclusion of such materials in the App is permitted under 17 U.S.C. § 107 (fair use) based on factors including, where applicable:
- Purpose and character: non-commercial educational and professional reference; transformative presentation (e.g. structured excerpts, navigation, and on-device access as a compact study aid rather than a verbatim commercial republication of a full work).
- Nature of the work: factual, instructional, and in many cases governmental or standard-reference in character (while recognising that factual status alone does not eliminate copyright).
- Amount and substantiality: limited use appropriate to the reference purpose; the App is not offered as a complete substitute for obtaining full official editions from rights holders or authorised channels.
- Effect on the market: the App is not intended to replace the market for official publications or authorised licensing; users are encouraged to obtain current, authoritative editions for operational and compliance purposes.
Fair use is fact-specific. We cannot guarantee that every item of Incorporated Materials in every jurisdiction will be treated as fair use by a court or rights holder.
### 5.3 Canada — fair dealing
To the extent Incorporated Materials are protected under Canadian copyright law, we rely in good faith on fair dealing for purposes such as research, private study, and education (as interpreted under the Copyright Act (Canada)), together with the same themes of limited excerpting, transformative presentation, and non-substitution for official channels described above. Fair dealing is also fact-specific and subject to judicial interpretation.
### 5.4 No affiliation or endorsement
Unless we expressly state otherwise in writing, the App and its Incorporated Materials are not sponsored, endorsed, or officially affiliated with NATO, the Department of National Defence (Canada), the United States Department of Defense, or any other government or international organisation. Trademarks and organisation names may appear for identification and accuracy only.
### 5.5 No licence to you to redistribute Incorporated Materials
These Terms do not grant you any licence to extract, republish, sell, or broadly redistribute Incorporated Materials (or the App’s compilation of them) outside personal or single-device reference use consistent with these Terms and applicable law. If you need to distribute content to others, you must obtain rights from the appropriate rights holders or use official distribution channels.
### 5.6 Official and controlled information
Some Incorporated Materials may originate from publications that are subject to distribution controls, classification, versioning, or national policies. You are solely responsible for compliance with your obligations as a member or employee of any organisation and with applicable law. The App does not warrant that any Incorporated Material is the latest approved version for operational use.
### 5.7 Takedown and rights-holder contact
If you believe material in the App infringes your rights, contact us using the contact information in the App (**Help & About → Contact**) or on our website. We will review good-faith notices and may remove or restrict content where appropriate.

## 6. Disclaimers
THE APP AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
Information in the App may contain errors, omissions, or outdated symbology, formats, or procedures. Verify critical information against current official sources.

## 7. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE APP OR THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) FIFTY CANADIAN DOLLARS (CAD $50), IF YOU OBTAINED THE APP FOR A FEE; OR ZERO IF THE APP WAS FREE.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those jurisdictions our liability is limited to the minimum extent permitted by law.

## 8. Indemnity
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Locstat Consulting and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, or debt, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your use of the App or your violation of these Terms or applicable law. We reserve the right to assume exclusive defence and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, at your expense.
---
## 9. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated Terms at the URL linked from the App (**Help & About → Terms of Use**) and may indicate a new effective date. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms to the extent permitted by law. If you do not agree, stop using the App and uninstall it.

## 10. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of Calgary Alberta, Canada, excluding conflict-of-law rules that would apply another jurisdiction’s laws, unless mandatory consumer protection laws of your place of residence require otherwise. You agree that the courts located in Calgary Alberta, Canada have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from these Terms or the App, subject to any non-waivable rights you may have under local law.
(Replace bracketed jurisdiction with advice of counsel.)
