1. Agreement to Terms

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Habiness mobile application ("App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms"). Please read them carefully before using the App.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not download or use the App.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("you", "your", "User") and Sylvain Pierre Paul Lacroix, an individual operating Habiness as a sole proprietor ("we", "us", "our"), the developer and operator of Habiness. Our Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference and forms part of this agreement.


2. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to create an account and use Habiness. By using the App, you represent and warrant that:

  • You are at least 16 years old
  • You have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement
  • Your use of the App complies with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction

If you are between 16 and 18 years old, you represent that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

We do not knowingly permit users under 13 years of age. If we become aware that a user is under 13, we will terminate their account immediately.


3. The Habiness Service

3.1 What Habiness Provides

Habiness is a personal wellness and habit-tracking application. Its features include:

  • Creating and tracking daily wellness habits across four pillars (Sleep, Move, Eat, Calm)
  • Logging daily progress (done, partial, missed)
  • Wellness tools: journal, gratitude, breathing exercises, Me Time timer, mood tracking
  • Curated wellness content and habit inspiration
  • Habit and tool history tracking
  • Daily reminders via push notifications

3.2 Personal Use Only

The App is provided for your personal, non-commercial use only. You may not use Habiness on behalf of another person, organisation, or for any commercial purpose without our prior written consent.

3.3 Service Availability

We aim to provide uninterrupted access to the App but cannot guarantee that it will be available at all times. The App may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or circumstances beyond our control. We are not liable for any loss or inconvenience caused by service interruptions.


4. Account Registration and Security

4.1 Creating an Account

To use Habiness, you must create an account using a valid email address. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep this information up to date.

4.2 Account Security

You are responsible for:

  • Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials (email and password)
  • All activity that occurs under your account
  • Notifying us immediately at support@habiness.com if you suspect any unauthorised access to your account

We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain account security.

4.3 One Account Per Person

Each user may maintain only one active account. You may not create multiple accounts, transfer your account to another person, or use another person's account without their permission.


5. Subscriptions and Billing

5.1 Free Trial

We may offer a free trial period for new subscribers. The duration and terms of the trial will be clearly stated at sign-up. Your subscription begins automatically at the end of the trial period and your payment method will be charged unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends.

If you cancel during a trial, you retain access until the trial period ends, after which access to paid features will cease.

5.2 Subscription Plans

Full access to Habiness features requires an active subscription. We currently offer the following plans (prices in USD; local pricing may vary by country and is shown at the time of purchase):

Plan Price
Monthly $7.99 / month
Annual $49.99 / year
Lifetime $99.99 (one-time purchase)

5.3 Billing and Payment

Subscriptions are purchased and billed through the Apple App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). Your payment method on file with Apple or Google will be charged at confirmation of purchase. We do not process or store your payment information.

5.4 Automatic Renewal

Monthly and annual subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current price. Renewal charges occur within 24 hours before the end of the current period.

5.5 Price Changes

We reserve the right to change subscription prices. We will provide existing subscribers with at least 30 days' advance notice of any price increase by email or in-app notification. Price changes take effect at your next renewal date. If you do not agree to a price change, you must cancel your subscription before the new price takes effect.

5.6 Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time:

  • iOS: Apple ID Settings → Subscriptions → Habiness → Cancel
  • Android: Google Play → Account → Subscriptions → Habiness → Cancel

Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You will retain full access until that date. Cancelling does not delete your account or data.

5.7 Refunds

All purchases are processed by Apple or Google. Refund requests are subject to their respective refund policies:

  • Apple: https://support.apple.com/billing
  • Google Play: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2479637

We do not issue refunds directly, except where required by applicable consumer protection law in your jurisdiction. If you believe you are entitled to a refund under applicable law, contact us at support@habiness.com and we will work with you in good faith.

5.8 Lifetime Access

A Lifetime purchase grants you perpetual access to all features available in Habiness at the time of purchase and to features added thereafter during the App's active lifecycle. We will make all reasonable efforts to maintain the App and honour Lifetime access indefinitely. However, we cannot guarantee that the App will operate indefinitely or that all features will remain unchanged. In the unlikely event that we cease operating the App, we will provide Lifetime subscribers with at least 90 days' advance notice.

5.9 Subscription Restoration

If you reinstall the App or switch devices, you can restore your subscription by signing in to your existing account. Your subscription is tied to your Habiness account, not your device.


6. User Content

6.3 Your Responsibility

You are solely responsible for the content you create in the App. You agree not to create content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable. While most of Habiness is private to your account, if any community or sharing features are introduced in future, these standards will apply.

6.4 No Content Monitoring

We do not routinely monitor the content of your private journal entries, gratitude entries, habit names, or mood logs. We may access this data only as necessary to provide support, investigate abuse, or comply with legal obligations.

Upon termination: your licence to use the App ends immediately; your account and content will be deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy; any outstanding subscription will be cancelled at the end of the current billing period (no refund for unused time, except as required by law).

Sections 8 (Intellectual Property), 9 (Health Disclaimer), 12 (Disclaimer of Warranties), 13 (Limitation of Liability), 14 (Indemnification), 16 (Governing Law), and 17 (Dispute Resolution) survive termination.


16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Portugal, without regard to conflict of law principles.

If you are a consumer resident in the EU or UK, you also benefit from any mandatory consumer protection provisions of the law of your country of residence that cannot be contractually excluded.

We will not be in breach of these Terms or liable for any delay or failure to perform our obligations where such delay or failure results from events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, pandemic, war, civil unrest, power failure, internet infrastructure failure, or acts of government. We will notify you of such events and resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable.


19. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if modification is not possible. The remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.
