Terms of Use

1. Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and the publisher of ADHD-Focus (“ADHD-Focus”, “we”, “us”, “our”) covering your use of the ADHD-Focus mobile application (the “App”) and this website (together, the “Service”).

By downloading, installing, opening or using the App, you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated here by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the App — and if you have already installed it, delete it.

2. Who may use ADHD-Focus

ADHD-Focus is intended for adults aged 18 or over. It is not designed for, marketed to, or directed at children. By using the App you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

You are responsible for anything that happens through your copy of the App on your device, and for keeping your device and its screen lock secure — because your entries are stored on the device itself, anyone with access to your unlocked device can read them.

3. What ADHD-Focus is — and what it is not

ADHD-Focus helps you organize daily life: tasks and routines, local reminders, a focus timer, self-tracking of mood, focus and energy, plain-language educational articles about executive function and daily strategies, and an optional self-reflection questionnaire. Its purpose is general wellbeing, organization and education.

ADHD-Focus is not, and must not be used as:

• a medical device, or software intended for a medical purpose;
• a means of diagnosing ADHD or any other condition — only a qualified professional can diagnose;
• a treatment, therapy or clinical intervention, or a claim to reduce, manage or cure symptoms;
• a source of medical advice, including anything about medication, dosage, timing or discontinuation;
• a substitute for assessment, care or follow-up by a qualified health professional;
• a clinical record, and it is not intended to be relied on by clinicians for clinical decisions.

Any questionnaire, score, streak, chart or trend the App shows you is a self-reported reflection tool, not a clinical result and not a diagnosis. It may be useful as a starting point for a conversation with a professional; it is never a conclusion on its own.

The educational content in the App is general information drawn from published literature and widely used practices. It is not personalized advice, it may not apply to your situation, and it may become out of date. Decisions about your health are between you and your health professional.

4. Not for emergencies

The Service does not provide crisis support and does not monitor what you write. Nobody at ADHD-Focus reads your entries or is alerted by them — the App has no server that could receive them. If you are experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, or you are thinking about harming yourself or someone else, stop using the App and get help now from your local emergency number, a crisis line, or the nearest emergency department. Some numbers are listed on our Support page.

5. Your licence to use the app

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and revocable licence to install and use one copy of the App on devices you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial use, for as long as these Terms are in force.

This is a licence, not a sale. We and our licensors keep all rights that are not expressly granted to you here. Your use of the App obtained through an app store is also subject to that store’s own terms and usage rules.

6. Your content and your data

Everything you write in the App — tasks, routines, notes, check-ins, focus sessions and questionnaire answers — is yours. It is stored on your device. We do not receive it, we cannot read it, and we claim no ownership of it. Full detail is in the Privacy Policy.

Because your content lives on your device, you are responsible for keeping it safe. If you lose your device, reset it, uninstall the App, or the device fails, your data may be permanently lost and we cannot recover it for you — we have no copy. Use the App’s export feature to make your own backups. You can also delete everything from within the App at any time. Exporting and deleting your own data are always free, whether or not you have a subscription.

You are responsible for what you choose to record, and for complying with any laws that apply to it — for example if you record information about another person.

7. Subscriptions, free trial and billing

Some features of the App require a paid subscription. The current plans are US$9.99 per month and US$79.99 per year, normally preceded by a 7-day free trial. Availability of the trial, and the price in your local currency and tax treatment, are set by the app store for your country and are always shown to you before you confirm the purchase. The price shown at the moment of purchase is the price that applies.

We do not process your payment. Subscriptions are sold and billed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play), through your store account. We never see or store your card number or payment credentials. The following terms apply to any subscription you buy:

• Payment is charged to your Apple Account or Google Play account at confirmation of purchase.
• Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period at the then-current price, unless you turn off auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• If you take a free trial, it converts into a paid subscription automatically at the end of the trial unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
• You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal in your store account settings after purchase — see section 8.
• If we change subscription prices, the change applies to future renewals only, and Apple or Google will notify you and, where required, ask for your consent before the new price is charged.
• Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription. You must cancel it in your store account.

One subscription covers your personal use on the devices signed in to the store account that bought it, subject to that store’s family sharing and device rules. If you reinstall the App or move to a new device using the same store account, use Restore purchases in the App to recover access — instructions are on the Support page.

8. How to cancel

You can cancel at any time, and you keep access until the end of the period you already paid for. Cancellation is done in the store, not in the App:

Store interfaces change from time to time; if these steps no longer match what you see, write to [email protected] and we will point you to the current path.

9. Refunds

Because Apple and Google are the sellers of record, refunds are handled by them under their own policies, and we cannot issue, force or block a refund ourselves. Request one from reportaproblem.apple.com (App Store) or through Google Play’s order history / help centre (Android).

Nothing here limits any statutory right of withdrawal, cancellation or refund you have under the consumer law of your country, province or state.

10. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• copy, modify, translate, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the App, or attempt to derive its source code, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits it despite this restriction;
• rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, distribute or otherwise make the App available to third parties;
• remove, obscure or alter any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notice;
• circumvent, disable or interfere with the subscription, licensing or security mechanisms of the App or of the app stores;
• use the App in a way that breaks any applicable law, or that infringes anyone’s rights;
• use the App or its content to provide clinical, diagnostic or therapeutic services to other people, or present its output as a clinical result;
• use automated means to access, scrape or overload the Service.

11. Intellectual property

The App and this website — including the software, design, interface, name, logo, and all educational and written content in English, French and Spanish — are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. Your licence under section 5 does not transfer any of those rights to you.

If you send us feedback, ideas or suggestions, you agree we may use them without restriction and without owing you anything — and please do not include confidential information or personal health details in feedback.

12. Third-party services and stores

The App is distributed by Apple and Google, and subscription purchases are processed and validated through them and through our subscription management provider. Those companies operate under their own terms and privacy policies, which we do not control. Their handling of your purchase data is described in the Privacy Policy.

Links in the App or on this site to third-party resources are provided for convenience only. We do not endorse them and we are not responsible for their content.

13. Availability, updates and changes to the app

The App runs on your device and does not depend on a server of ours to function, but we cannot guarantee that it will always be available, uninterrupted or error-free, or that it will be compatible with every device or operating system version. We may release updates, change or remove features, or discontinue the App or a plan. Where we discontinue a paid feature you are actively paying for, we will do so in a way that respects the period you have already paid for.

Your device’s operating system controls whether reminders and notifications are delivered. Battery savers, focus modes, permissions and system settings can delay or suppress them, and we are not responsible for a reminder that your device does not show. Do not rely on the App alone for anything safety-critical, including medication timing.

14. Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, or that the Service will meet your requirements or produce any particular outcome. We do not warrant any result — therapeutic, clinical, productivity-related or otherwise — from using ADHD-Focus.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or of implied statutory guarantees. In those places, the exclusions above apply only to the extent permitted, and you may have rights that these Terms cannot take away.

15. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, or loss or corruption of data, arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the Service — even if we were advised that such damages were possible.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you actually paid for the App in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) US$50.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for fraud, for gross negligence or wilful misconduct where the law does not allow its exclusion, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

16. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim, demand, loss or expense (including reasonable legal fees) brought by a third party and arising from your misuse of the Service, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or of the rights of another person. This does not apply to the extent the claim arises from our own wrongdoing.

17. Termination

You may end this agreement at any time by cancelling any subscription and deleting the App. We may suspend or terminate your licence if you materially breach these Terms, including the acceptable-use rules in section 10.

On termination, your licence ends and you must stop using the App. Sections that by their nature should survive — including sections 3, 6, 11, 14, 15, 16, 18 and 21 — survive termination. Because your data is on your device, termination does not delete it: you delete it by using the App’s delete function or by removing the App.

18. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. You and we agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Ontario, Canada for any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service.

This does not override mandatory consumer protection law. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere — for example in Quebec, in a member state of the European Union, in the United Kingdom, in Mexico or in a United States jurisdiction with mandatory consumer rules — you keep the protections and the forum that the mandatory law of your place of residence gives you, and nothing here deprives you of them.

Before starting formal proceedings, please write to [email protected]; most issues can be resolved quickly and informally.

19. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms as the App evolves or as the law requires. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date above and publish the new version at this address. If a change is material, we will give notice in the App before it takes effect where practicable. Continuing to use the App after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms; if you do not accept them, cancel any subscription and stop using the App.

20. Additional terms for the Apple App Store

If you obtained the App from the Apple App Store, the following also applies:

• These Terms are between you and us only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
• Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support for the App.
• If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price of the App to you; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App.
• Apple is not responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the App or your possession or use of it, including product liability claims, any claim that the App fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
• In the event of a third-party claim that the App or your use of it infringes intellectual property rights, we — not Apple — are responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of that claim.
• You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as “terrorist supporting”, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, have the right to enforce them against you.
• Our contact information for any question, complaint or claim about the App is in section 22.

21. General

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service. If any provision is found unenforceable, it is limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest stays in force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
