Welcome to HocusFocus. These Terms of Use ("Terms") form a legally binding agreement between you and Marian Cocota (the "Developer") governing your access to and use of the HocusFocus mobile application, related websites, support channels, beta programs, and associated services.

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using HocusFocus, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Service.

1. Developer Information

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service, or older if your local law requires a higher minimum age. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Service only with permission from a parent or legal guardian.

You represent that:

3. Service Description

HocusFocus is a productivity, routine-building, journaling, and time-tracking application that may include features such as:

Some features may be unavailable in certain builds, regions, subscription tiers, beta periods, or device configurations.

4. Medical, Health, and Emergency Disclaimer

HocusFocus is a productivity and self-management tool. It is NOT medical advice, mental health treatment, psychological counseling, crisis support, or emergency services.

Any references to ADHD-friendly design, focus support, wellbeing, mood, or energy are informational and product-design oriented only. They do not replace professional medical or mental health advice. If you need medical, psychiatric, therapeutic, or emergency assistance, contact a qualified professional or emergency service provider.

5. Accounts

5.1 Optional Accounts

You may use substantial portions of the Service without an account. Some features, such as cloud sync or cross-device restoration, may require you to authenticate through Firebase Authentication.

5.2 Account Security

If you create or use an account, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials, all activity occurring under your account, and promptly notifying us of suspected unauthorized access.

5.3 Accurate Information

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information where the Service asks for it.

6. Subscriptions, Purchases, and Billing

6.1 Paid Features

Certain features may require payment, a subscription, or an active premium entitlement, including:

6.2 Billing Providers

Subscriptions and in-app purchases are generally billed through Google Play, and entitlement management may be supported by RevenueCat or successor providers. We do not directly process or store your full payment card details.

6.3 Auto-Renewal

If you purchase an auto-renewing subscription, the subscription may renew automatically unless you cancel before the renewal date. Billing, renewal timing, grace periods, and retries are controlled by the platform store and its policies. You can usually manage or cancel your subscription through your Google Play account settings.

6.4 Prices, Trials, and Promotions

Prices, free-trial availability, discounts, billing periods, and promotional offers may vary by region, storefront, or campaign and may change for future purchases or renewals where allowed by law and platform rules.

6.5 Refunds

Refunds, revocations, chargebacks, and billing disputes are subject to the rules of the platform store, applicable consumer laws, and the policies of the relevant billing provider. Users in certain jurisdictions may have additional statutory rights.

6.6 Access Changes After Billing Events

If your subscription expires, is refunded, revoked, enters a failed-payment state, or otherwise becomes inactive, access to premium features may be reduced or removed. During some platform-defined grace periods, premium access may temporarily continue.

7. License Grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Developer grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download and install the app on devices you own or control, and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use. This license does not grant ownership of the Service or any intellectual property rights.

8. Acceptable Use and Restrictions

You agree not to:

9. User Content and Your Data

9.1 Ownership

You retain ownership of the content you create or upload through the Service, such as activity data, routines, journal entries, voice notes, verification photos, movement data, and profile or activity images.

9.2 License to Operate the Service

You grant Developer and its service providers a limited license to host, store, reproduce, transmit, analyze, process, and display your content solely as reasonably necessary to operate the Service, sync and back up your data, render app features, provide AI-assisted functionality you request, and investigate bugs, abuse, or support issues.

9.3 Responsibility for Your Content

You are responsible for ensuring you have the rights and permissions needed for any content you upload or submit. You agree not to upload content that infringes intellectual property rights, violates privacy or publicity rights of others, or is unlawful, abusive, defamatory, or fraudulent.

9.4 Backups

Although the Service may provide cloud sync, export, or backup features, you remain responsible for maintaining your own backups of important data.

10. AI Features and Automated Outputs

10.1 Optional AI Features

Some features may use AI services, including text generation, summarization, suggestion engines, or photo verification. These features are optional unless specifically indicated otherwise in a workflow you choose to start.

10.2 No Guarantee of Accuracy

AI outputs may be incomplete, incorrect, biased, unexpected, or unsuitable for your situation. You remain solely responsible for decisions you make based on AI-generated or AI-assisted output.

10.3 Content Submitted to AI Providers

When you use an AI feature, relevant prompt or media content may be processed by third-party AI providers such as Google / Firebase / Vertex AI / Gemini, subject to our Privacy Policy and applicable provider terms.

If you use a beta build, closed test release, or experimental feature:

12. Third-Party Services

HocusFocus may integrate with or rely on third-party services such as Firebase / Google services, Google Play Billing, RevenueCat, Mapbox, and device calendar providers. Your use of those services may also be governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the independent actions, outages, or policy decisions of third-party providers.

13. Intellectual Property

All rights, title, and interest in and to the Service, excluding your content, remain with the Developer and applicable licensors. This includes source code, app architecture, design, artwork, UI, branding, logos, and documentation. "HocusFocus" and associated branding may be protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. You may not use our branding without permission except as allowed by law.

14. Feedback

If you submit feedback, ideas, suggestions, or product requests, you grant us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use that feedback without compensation or attribution, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

15. Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy. By using the Service, you acknowledge that we may process personal information as described there.

16. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, that any feature will remain permanently available, that AI-generated outputs will be accurate, or that sync, backups, notifications, or reminders will always succeed.

17. Limitation of Liability

17.1 Excluded Damages

Developer shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, loss of data, business interruption, device issues, or loss of goodwill arising from or related to the Service.

17.2 Liability Cap

To the extent liability cannot be excluded, Developer's total aggregate liability shall not exceed the amount you paid to Developer during the twelve (12) months preceding the event, or EUR 50 if you paid nothing.

17.3 Consumer Law

Nothing in these Terms excludes rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable consumer law.

19. Suspension and Termination

19.1 By You

You may stop using the Service at any time by uninstalling the app, deleting your account where available, and ceasing use.

19.2 By Us

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access if you violate these Terms, we reasonably suspect abuse, fraud, or security risk, a third-party provider or legal requirement forces us to do so, or we discontinue all or part of the Service.

19.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination, your license to use the Service ends, access to cloud, premium, or account features may be removed, and data deletion may occur according to our Privacy Policy, technical retention windows, and legal obligations.

20. Changes to the Service or Terms

We may modify the Service or these Terms from time to time, including to reflect new or removed features, beta-to-release transitions, security or infrastructure changes, and legal or regulatory requirements. If we make material changes, we may provide notice through the app, website, or email where appropriate.

21. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of Romania, excluding conflict-of-law rules, except where mandatory consumer laws of your place of residence provide otherwise.

For users in the European Union, you may benefit from mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence, and EU consumers may use available online dispute resolution channels. Before filing a formal claim, you agree to contact support@hocusfocus.life and attempt good-faith informal resolution first, unless prohibited by law.

22. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.
