Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using the PomPom application ("App") from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store ("Platforms"), you ("User") enter into a legally binding agreement with the individual developer operating PomPom ("Developer," "we," "us," or "our"). If you do not agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"), do not download or use the App. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and the Developer regarding your use of the App and supersede all prior agreements. The Developer reserves the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the App after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. App Store & Play Store Guidelines

Your use of PomPom is additionally governed by the applicable terms and conditions of the platform from which you downloaded the App (Apple App Store Terms of Service or Google Play Terms of Service). In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Platform terms, these Terms shall govern to the maximum extent permissible. You acknowledge that:

• Apple and Google are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms solely to the extent required by their respective policies.
• Neither Apple nor Google has any obligation whatsoever to provide support or maintenance services in respect of the App.

3. License Grant & Intellectual Property

3.1 License

Subject to these Terms, the Developer grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the App on devices you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial productivity purposes.

The scope of features and functionality available under this license may vary depending on the type of access you obtain. Certain features may require a one-time purchase ("Lifetime License") or an active subscription. Access to subscription-based features is granted only for the duration of the applicable subscription period and will automatically terminate or be limited if the subscription expires, is cancelled, or if payment fails. Lifetime License features remain available subject to continued compliance with these Terms.

3.2 Restrictions

You may NOT:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to extract the source code of the App.
• Modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works based on the App.
• Remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices or labels.
• Sublicense, sell, resell, transfer, assign, or commercially exploit the App.
• Use the App in any manner that could damage, disable, or impair the App or servers.
• Circumvent or attempt to circumvent any license enforcement or copy-protection mechanism.

3.3 Intellectual Property

All intellectual property rights in and to the App — including but not limited to the software, design, graphics, trade names, logos, and content — are and shall remain the exclusive property of the Developer. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership rights to you.

4. Pricing, Payments & License Options

PomPom offers flexible access options designed to be simple, transparent, and fair. Depending on your preference, you may choose between a one-time purchase (Lifetime License) or an optional subscription plan.

4.1 Lifetime License

A single in-app purchase grants you a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive license to use all premium features of the App that are available at the time of your purchase. This license is personal to you, non-transferable, and does not expire.

4.2 Subscription Plans

As an alternative to the Lifetime License, PomPom may offer subscription-based access to premium features. Subscriptions may be billed on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the plan selected at the time of purchase.

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless canceled before the renewal date. By purchasing a subscription, you authorize the applicable app store (e.g., Google Play or Apple App Store) to charge your account on a recurring basis in accordance with the selected billing cycle.

Subscription plans may provide access to all current premium features and may also include access to future features, improvements, or updates introduced during the active subscription period.

You may manage or cancel your subscription at any time through your app store account settings. Cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing period, and you will retain access to subscription features until that time.

4.3 No Subscriptions for Lifetime License Users

If you have purchased the Lifetime License, you will not be charged any recurring subscription fees for the features included in your purchase at that time. This clause applies only to Lifetime License holders and does not apply to users who choose a subscription plan.

4.3 Future Features

The Developer reserves the right to introduce new features, modules, or companion products that may be subject to separate pricing. No new charges will be applied to your existing Lifetime License without your explicit consent.

4.4 Payment Processing

All payments are processed exclusively through your Apple ID (via Apple In-App Purchase) or Google Play account (via Google Play Billing). The Developer does not collect, store, or process your payment card details directly. Payment disputes, refunds, and billing inquiries must be directed to Apple or Google respectively.

4.5 Refund Policy

Refund requests are subject to the refund policies of Apple App Store or Google Play Store. The Developer will reasonably cooperate with any Platform-initiated refund processes but is not independently obligated to provide refunds outside of applicable Platform policies or statutory rights that cannot be excluded by law.

For subscription purchases, refunds, cancellations, and billing adjustments are governed by the applicable Platform's subscription terms and policies. Subscriptions may renew automatically unless canceled prior to the end of the current billing period. If a free trial is offered, you may cancel during the trial period to avoid being charged. Unless otherwise stated, once a free trial ends, the subscription will automatically convert into a paid subscription and the applicable fee will be charged by the Platform.

The Developer does not process subscription payments directly and therefore cannot issue refunds for subscription fees outside of the Platform's established procedures. Users are responsible for managing their subscriptions, including cancellations and refund requests, through their Platform account settings.

4.6 Subscription-Specific Terms

Subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis (e.g., monthly or annually) as selected at the time of purchase. Unless canceled prior to the end of the current billing period, subscriptions will automatically renew at the then-applicable rate. Users may manage or cancel their subscriptions at any time through their account settings on the applicable platform (e.g., Apple App Store or Google Play Store). Cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing period, and no refunds will be provided for any unused portion of the subscription term unless required by applicable law or platform policies. Upon cancellation or expiration of a subscription, access to premium features will be suspended at the end of the active billing period. Any data associated with premium features may be retained or deleted in accordance with the Developer's data retention practices. In the event of a failed payment, the platform provider may apply a grace period or account hold in accordance with its policies. During this time, access to subscription features may be limited or suspended until payment is successfully processed. The Developer reserves the right to modify subscription pricing with reasonable prior notice. Existing subscribers will be notified in advance of any price changes, and such changes will only take effect after the current billing period, in accordance with applicable platform requirements.

5. Data Storage & Local-First Architecture

Your personal productivity data belongs to you. PomPom is built with a local-first design philosophy:

• Your tasks, session history, focus templates, and personal notes are stored locally on your device.
• The Developer does not operate a mandatory account or cloud login system.
• The Developer does not transmit your personal productivity content to any remote server controlled by the Developer.

You are solely responsible for maintaining backups of your locally-stored data. The Developer is not liable for any loss of data resulting from device failure, operating system updates, App uninstallation, or any other cause.

6. Analytics & Third-Party Services

6.1 Analytics

To improve the App and understand feature usage patterns, the App uses product analytics. The Developer configures analytics to collect only:

• Anonymous, aggregated usage events (e.g., button taps, screen views, feature interactions).
• Non-personal technical data (e.g., device model category, OS version, app version).

The Developer expressly does NOT collect:

• Your productivity content.
• Your name, email address, or any directly identifying personal information.
• Precise geolocation data.

Analytics data is used solely for internal product improvement and is never sold to third parties. You may contact the Developer to request information about the data collection practices.

6.2 Platform SDK Data

Apple and Google may collect usage data through their respective platform SDKs as part of your agreement with those Platforms. This collection is governed by Apple's and Google's privacy policies respectively.

7. Modifications to the App

The Developer reserves the right to modify, update, suspend, or discontinue the App (or any part thereof) at any time. The Developer will endeavor to provide reasonable notice of significant changes where practicable. Users who have purchased the Lifetime License will retain access to the core functionalities included at the time of purchase for as long as the App remains technically viable on modern, commercially available operating systems. In the unlikely event of permanent App discontinuation, the Developer shall provide at least thirty (30) days' advance notice where reasonably possible. Subscription pricing may be modified from time to time. The Developer will provide reasonable prior notice of any changes in subscription fees. Existing subscribers will be notified in advance before any price change takes effect, and any such changes will apply only after the current billing period, in accordance with applicable platform requirements.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED ON AN 'AS IS' AND 'AS AVAILABLE' BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION.

The Developer does not warrant that the App will meet your specific requirements, that operation will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that defects will be corrected. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties; in such jurisdictions, the above exclusions apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEVELOPER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES — INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES — ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE APP.

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE DEVELOPER'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE APP EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be lawfully excluded, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any liability the exclusion of which is prohibited by applicable law (including consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction).

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Developer from and against any claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) your use of and access to the App; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any third-party right, including intellectual property or privacy rights; or (d) any claim that your use of the App caused damage to a third party.

11. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Developer is domiciled, without regard to conflict of law provisions. For users in the European Union, applicable mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence also apply and cannot be derogated from. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall first be attempted to be resolved informally by contacting the Developer. If informal resolution fails, disputes shall be submitted to the competent courts of the Developer's jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory consumer protection laws in your country that require otherwise.

12. Severability & Waiver

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The Developer's failure to enforce any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
