Terms of Service

Intellectual Property

Unauthorized copying, modification of the Application, any part of the Application, or our trademarks is strictly prohibited. Any attempts to extract the source code of the Application, translate the Application into other languages, or create derivative versions are not permitted.

All trademarks, copyrights, database rights, and other intellectual property rights related to the Application remain the property of the Service Provider.

Service Modifications

The Service Provider is dedicated to ensuring that the Application is as beneficial and efficient as possible. As such, they reserve the right to modify the Application or charge for their services at any time and for any reason.

The Service Provider assures you that any charges for the Application or its services will be clearly communicated to you.

Subscriptions and Billing

The Application is free to download. Gentle Premium is an optional auto-renewing subscription, offered yearly or monthly, that unlocks all themes, lets you choose which topics your affirmations come from, and gives you unlimited guided breathing sessions. Prices are set per country, and the App Store shows the price for your region before you confirm.

New subscribers may be offered a free trial. Apple decides eligibility, and a trial is offered only once per subscription group. If you don't cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the subscription starts and you are charged.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account and is billed by Apple, not by the Service Provider. The subscription renews automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before that period ends.

You can cancel at any time in iOS Settings → Subscriptions. Cancelling stops the next renewal; access continues until the end of the period you have already paid for.

Personal Data and Security

The details you give the Application, such as your first name and your onboarding answers, are stored on your iPhone and are not sent to the Service Provider. The Privacy Policy explains exactly what the Application sends and to whom. It is your responsibility to keep your phone, and access to the Application, secure.

The Service Provider strongly advise against jailbreaking or rooting your phone, which involves removing software restrictions and limitations imposed by the official operating system of your device. Such actions could expose your phone to malware, viruses, malicious programs, compromise your phone's security features, and may result in the Application not functioning correctly or at all.

Please note that the Application utilizes third-party services that have their own Terms and Conditions:

• Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google), which delivers the background messages that keep your reminders scheduled
• RevenueCat, which manages the optional subscription

Internet Connection and Data Charges

Please be aware that the Service Provider does not assume responsibility for certain aspects. Some functions of the Application require an active internet connection, which can be Wi-Fi or provided by your mobile network provider.

The Service Provider cannot be held responsible if the Application does not function at full capacity due to lack of access to Wi-Fi or if you have exhausted your data allowance.

If you are using the application outside of a Wi-Fi area, please be aware that your mobile network provider's agreement terms still apply. Consequently, you may incur charges from your mobile provider for data usage during the connection to the application, or other third-party charges.

By using the application, you accept responsibility for any such charges, including roaming data charges if you use the application outside of your home territory without disabling data roaming. If you are not the bill payer for the device on which you are using the application, they assume that you have obtained permission from the bill payer.

Service Provider Responsibility

Similarly, the Service Provider cannot always assume responsibility for your usage of the application. For instance, it is your responsibility to ensure that your device remains charged. If your device runs out of battery and you are unable to access the Service, the Service Provider cannot be held responsible.

The Service Provider does its best to keep the Application's content accurate and the Application working, but does not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted or error-free.

To the extent permitted by law, the Service Provider accepts no liability for any loss, direct or indirect, that results from relying solely on the Application. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection law where you live.

Updates and Termination

The Service Provider may update the application from time to time. The Application currently requires iOS 18 or later. This requirement may change in future versions, and you may need to install updates to keep using the Application.

The Service Provider does not guarantee that it will always update the application so that it is relevant to you and/or compatible with the particular operating system version installed on your device. However, you agree to always accept updates to the application when offered to you.

The Service Provider may also wish to cease providing the application and may terminate its use at any time without providing termination notice to you. Unless they inform you otherwise, upon any termination:

• The rights and licenses granted to you in these terms will end
• You must cease using the application, and (if necessary) delete it from your device

Not Medical Advice

Gentle offers kind words and a breathing exercise, not treatment. It is not a medical device and isn't a substitute for professional mental-health care, diagnosis or treatment. If you're struggling, please reach out to someone you trust, a doctor or a qualified professional.

If you're thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, US) or find a helpline in your country at findahelpline.com. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.

Stop the breathing exercise if you feel dizzy or unwell.

Changes to These Terms

The Service Provider may periodically update their Terms and Conditions. Therefore, you are advised to review this page regularly for any changes. The Service Provider will notify you of any changes by posting the new Terms and Conditions on this page.
