Terms
The text below is the text of the app. The applicable version is the number shown in BallTrap OS when you accept it.
Publisher
BallTrap OS is a free hobby app for Android and the browser, published by its author, the “publisher”. No company name or company address is stated here; the publisher will add that identity if a legal text requires it. Contact: BallTrap.os.infos@gmail.com.
Purpose
The app is a personal clay-shooting log (trap, bunker, skeet, sporting, compak, and related disciplines). It records series, a gun safe, cartridges, statistics, a shooter card, and, depending on the account role, stand tools. It is provided as-is, with no subscription and no in-app payment.
Account required
An account is required: a BallTrap OS email and password, or a Google account. An email-and-password address must be confirmed before the logbook opens. There is no guest mode and no “continue without an account”. Opening the account is a request to use the logbook. The publisher may refuse or close access if these terms are broken. Logging out removes the session from this device; data already stored there stays until an explicit delete or restore.
Offline use
Once the account is open on the device, the logbook still works without a network, including at the stand: the journal, series, and gun safe are local first. Writes made offline stay on the device and can sync later, when the account is online again. A new account cannot be created without a successful first sign-in.
Personal data
Processing is described in the privacy policy, which is part of these terms. It covers the Google or email account, scores, the profile (name, nickname, club, licence as typed), avatar and gun photos, sheet photos, and a JSON export every account can download from settings. The app does not sell this data and does not take payment.
Photos and uploads
Users upload only photos they have the right to use: in practice their portrait and photographs of their own guns. Manufacturer catalogue photos, official brand artwork, and any image the user does not own or have rights to are not allowed. A gun photo stays on that shooter’s own gun card. The app is not a public gallery of gun photos sorted by brand.
Trademarks
Brand and model names (Beretta, Browning, and the others in the lists) only identify the product the shooter says they own. Those trademarks belong to their owners. Listing a name does not imply any partnership, endorsement, or affiliation with BallTrap OS. The app does not show manufacturer logos or official catalogue photos. A model that is not listed is entered as free text.
Roles
Depending on what is stored for the account, the app may show extra tools: member, club president, referee, stand staff, Super Admin, and marks such as Founder. A role is a right inside the app. It is not a federation title and it grants no power outside the software. Super Admin is the publisher’s technical role, read from the account (Firestore roles/{uid}), not a switch anyone can flip in settings. Real president, referee, and stand-staff rights remain those assigned to the account.
User content
Text, scores, photos, and cards entered by the user remain their content. The user warrants that it is lawful, does not infringe third-party rights, and is not meant to mislead anyone about a result. The publisher may remove content that is plainly unlawful or breaks these terms when they know about it and have the technical means. A score shown in the app is not a federation homologation.
What the app does not replace
BallTrap OS does not replace a firearm permit or authorisation, a shooting licence, club or ground rules, an official match sheet, or firearm-safety rules. The user alone is responsible for complying with the law where they live and shoot, including firearms law. The app gives no legal advice and does not check that a licence is valid.
Who may use the service
The user confirms they are legally allowed to use a service of this kind in the country where they live and where they shoot. The service is not directed at children. Where local law sets a minimum age, the user states that they meet it.
Acceptable use
Do not use the app to break the law, impersonate another shooter, falsify scores in order to mislead, probe or disrupt the service, access someone else’s account, bulk-extract data, or upload unlawful, hateful, or privacy-invasive content. Ground rules and firearm safety always come before what is on the screen.
Warranty and liability
The app is a free hobby tool, provided without warranty of accuracy, uninterrupted availability, or fitness for a particular purpose, to the extent Belgian law and European Union law allow. Scores, rates, rankings, weather, ground hours, and automatic card readings may be wrong or incomplete. The user checks them before relying on them. To the same extent, the publisher is not liable for indirect damage, data loss tied to the device, or use that breaks firearm safety. Nothing here excludes liability for wilful misconduct or gross negligence, mandatory consumer rights, or liability the law forbids limiting, including harm to life or limb.
Intellectual property
The app, the name BallTrap OS, the interface, the help text, the original gun illustrations, and the code are protected. The user receives a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the app as their logbook. Copying the code, bulk extraction, and resale are not allowed. The three gun illustrations shipped with the app (over-and-under, semi-automatic, side-by-side) are original drawings, not catalogue photographs.
Termination
The user may stop using the app and log out at any time. They can delete the account and the personal data that goes with it from settings, and from https://balltrap-os.com/delete-account, after confirming their identity again (password or Google) and an explicit confirmation. That action deletes the Firebase Authentication account, the personal documents in Cloud Firestore and the personal photos in Firebase Storage, then clears the local copy on this device. A copy still open on another device stays there until it is deleted or the app is uninstalled. The technical account that runs the service cannot be erased by this action. A written request can still be sent to the contact address and is handled within a reasonable time, unless the law requires retention. The publisher may suspend access for a serious breach, telling the user when that is reasonably possible.
Changes to the terms
The publisher may change these terms and the privacy policy. The applicable version is numbered in the app. If the number increases, acceptance is required again before use can continue. Declining blocks use and offers logout. Use after acceptance is agreement to that version. The version in force when this text was written is the version shown on the acceptance screen.
Governing law
These terms are governed by Belgian law, without taking away mandatory consumer-protection rules of the user’s country of residence in the European Union. A dispute may be brought before the courts that those rules designate. Where it applies, the European online dispute-resolution platform remains available.
