Legal document

Terms of use

Last updated: 5 November 2026 Governing law: Spanish

These terms set out the conditions for using Ossian. By downloading or using it, you accept them.

This is a translation for convenience. If it differs from the Spanish version, the Spanish version prevails.

01What Ossian is

Ossian is an audiobook player for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, CarPlay and Apple Watch that connects to an Audiobookshelf or Jellyfin server that you run or have access to.

Ossian doesn't provide any server or any content. It includes no audiobooks, doesn't sell or rent books and gives no access to any catalogue. Without your own server, the app has nothing to play.

02Licence

The app is distributed through the App Store and is governed by Apple's standard licensed application end user licence agreement, which these terms supplement. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use Ossian on the Apple devices you own or control.

You may not copy, modify, decompile or redistribute the app, except as the law expressly allows.

03Requirements

  • iPhone or iPad with iOS 26 or later; Apple TV with tvOS 26 or later.
  • An Audiobookshelf 2.26 or later server, or a Jellyfin server, with an account of your own.
  • A connection to your server to sync and download; downloaded items can be played offline.

Ossian depends on the versions and configuration of those servers, which we don't control. If a server changes how it works, a feature may stop working until we adapt it.

04Your content

The audiobooks, covers and data you see in Ossian come from your server. You alone are responsible for that content and for having the rights needed to listen to it. Ossian doesn't review, host or distribute content, and isn't responsible for what is on your server.

05Ossian Plus and tips

  • Ossian Plus is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, that unlocks additional features in the app for good. You can get it back on your other devices with “Restore purchases” using the same Apple Account.
  • Tips are voluntary, support development and don't unlock anything.
  • Price and payment. Prices are shown in the App Store including taxes and may vary by country. Apple charges and handles the payment.
  • Refunds. Refunds are handled by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com, under its conditions and your rights as a consumer.

06Trademarks and affiliation

Ossian is an independent app. It isn't affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by Audiobookshelf, Jellyfin, Plex or Apple. Their names and trademarks belong to their respective owners and are mentioned only to say which servers Ossian works with.

07How it works

We work to make Ossian run well, but we can't guarantee it will be error-free or always available, because it also depends on your server, your network and Apple. This doesn't limit the guarantees the law gives you as a consumer.

08Liability

To the extent the law allows, we're not liable for indirect damages or for damages caused by your server, by the content you host on it or by third-party services. Nothing above excludes our liability for wilful misconduct or gross negligence, or the rights consumer law gives you.

09Changes

We may update these terms, for example when adding features. We'll publish the new version here with its date. If a change is significant, we'll mention it in the app or in the release notes.

10Law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by Spanish law. If you're a consumer, you can go to the courts of your place of residence, and you keep the protection given to you by the mandatory consumer law of your country.
