By downloading or using Kuma, you agree to be bound by these terms. Please read them carefully before using the App.
1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Kuma application ("the App") developed by Sean ("we", "us", or "our"). By accessing or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
2. Description of Service
Kuma is a focus and productivity app that helps users build healthy focus habits. Core capabilities include a Pomodoro-style focus timer, ambient white noise, daily and weekly goals, achievement badges, focus statistics, task management, and local reminders, presented through a friendly bear companion.
All of your activity is stored locally on your device. We do not access, collect, or store your focus history, tasks, goals, or other personal data.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. By using Kuma, you represent that you meet this age requirement. If you are under 18, you should review these Terms with a parent or guardian.
4. User Responsibilities
You agree to:
- Use the App only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms
- Not use the App to facilitate fraud, deception, or any illegal activity
- Not attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App
- Not redistribute, sublicense, or resell the App or any part thereof
5. Subscriptions & Payments
Kuma offers a free tier with core focus features, as well as optional paid subscriptions ("Kuma Pro") that unlock additional capabilities, including the full white-noise library, advanced statistics (30-day trends, time-of-day distribution, and periodic reports), monthly and quarterly goals, multiple reminder schedules, and premium achievement badges. Additional Pro benefits may be introduced over time.
- Subscriptions are offered on a monthly and annual basis and are billed through Apple's App Store, subject to Apple's terms and conditions
- Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase
- Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period
- You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your device's Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions
Prices are subject to change. We will notify users of any price changes in accordance with Apple's policies. Refunds are handled exclusively by Apple in accordance with their refund policy.
6. Free Trial
We may offer free trial periods for Kuma Pro (such as a 7-day free trial on the annual plan). If you do not cancel before the trial ends, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription at the advertised price. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited upon purchasing a subscription.
7. Intellectual Property
All content, features, and functionality of the App — including but not limited to its design, code, illustrations, the Kuma bear character and mascot, and trademarks — are owned by us and are protected by international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
You retain full ownership of any data you create using the App, including your tasks, goals, and focus records. We claim no rights to your content.
8. Privacy & Analytics
Your privacy is fundamental to Kuma. Our data practices are described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
The App uses Google Firebase Analytics to collect anonymous, aggregate usage data (such as feature usage and screen views) to help us improve the experience. This data is not linked to your identity and does not include the content of your tasks, goals, or focus history. For details, please review our Privacy Policy.
9. Disclaimer of Warranties
The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that:
- Focus statistics, streaks, and goal progress will be free of inaccuracies
- Local reminders and notifications will always be delivered on time, as their delivery is controlled by iOS and may be delayed or batched by the system
- The App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components
Kuma is a productivity aid and is not a medical, clinical, or therapeutic tool. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, or manage any health condition.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the App.
Our total liability for any claim arising from these Terms or your use of the App shall not exceed the amount you paid for the App in the 12 months preceding the claim.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless us and our affiliates from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including legal fees) arising from your use of the App or violation of these Terms.
12. Termination
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, without notice, for conduct that we determine violates these Terms or is harmful to other users or us.
Upon termination, your right to use the App ceases immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (such as Limitation of Liability and Indemnification) will remain in effect.
13. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
14. Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the developer resides, without regard to conflict of law principles.
