Terms of Service — Breathing App
Last updated: 7 August 2026
⚠ Read This First — Health and Safety
Breathing App is not a medical device and does not provide medical treatment, diagnosis, or advice. It is a well-being tool that guides breathing timing.
Stop immediately if you feel dizzy, light-headed, short of breath, or unwell.
Do not use the App while driving, cycling, operating machinery, swimming, or in water, or anywhere that light-headedness could cause injury.
Consult a doctor before use if you are pregnant, or have a respiratory condition (such as asthma or COPD), a cardiovascular condition, epilepsy, low blood pressure, an anxiety or panic disorder, or any other medical condition.
Full terms in §8 below.
1. Agreement
By downloading, accessing, or using Breathing App ("the App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the App.
Our Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
These Terms are between you and Abdullah Alansari, an individual developer based in Kuwait ("we", "us", "our").
2. The Service
Breathing App guides you through timed breathing exercises. An animated circle and countdown indicate when to inhale, hold, and exhale. The App records the duration of your sessions, the number of breathing cycles completed, and — if you choose to record it — how you felt afterwards.
The App does not measure your actual breathing. It has no sensors and does not detect whether you are breathing, how deeply, or how fast. It only displays timing for you to follow at your own pace and comfort.
Free use: every account may run two (2) free sessions, each counted shortly after you begin breathing. Continued use after that requires a one-time purchase (see §7).
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use the App, or 16 if you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom where local law sets a higher age.
By using the App you confirm that you meet this age requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
If you are under the age of majority in your country, you must have permission from a parent or guardian.
4. Your Account
An account is required. When you create one:
- Provide accurate information. You must use an email address you control and verify it.
- Keep your password secure. You are responsible for all activity under your account.
- Tell us about unauthorised access. Email q8seaman70@gmail.com immediately if you suspect your account has been compromised.
- One account per person. Creating multiple accounts to obtain additional free sessions is a breach of these Terms (see §5).
You may delete your account at any time in the App under Profile → Delete account. This is permanent — see §12.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Create multiple accounts, or otherwise attempt to bypass the free-session limit or the paywall
- Attempt to circumvent, disable, or interfere with security features, rate limits, or access controls
- Access the App's backend, database, or API other than through the App itself
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except where such restriction is prohibited by applicable law
- Use automated systems to access the App, or place unreasonable load on our infrastructure
- Attempt to access another user's account or data
- Use the App for any unlawful purpose, or in violation of any applicable law
- Resell, sublicense, or commercially redistribute access to the App
Enforcement. We may investigate suspected breaches and may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms. Where a breach involves unlawful activity, we may report it to the appropriate authorities.
6. Your Content and Data
You own your data. Your practice history, session records, and any mood entries belong to you.
You grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to store and process this data solely to provide the App to you — to display your progress, calculate your streaks, and enforce the free-session limit. That is the entire scope of the licence.
We do not:
- Sell, rent, or share your data with advertisers
- Use your data to train artificial intelligence models — the App uses no AI whatsoever
- Publish your data or make it visible to other users
- Use your data for any purpose beyond operating the App
How we handle your data is described in full in our Privacy Policy.
7. Free Sessions, Purchase and Payment
7.1 Free sessions
Each account may run two (2) sessions free of charge. A session is counted a few seconds after you begin breathing, not when you finish it — so opening a session by mistake and leaving straight away costs you nothing, but once it counts, stopping early does not restore it. The App tells you how many free sessions remain before you begin.
7.2 The one-time unlock
After your two free sessions, continued use requires a single purchase:
| Price | US $6.99 one time (or the equivalent in your local currency as set by the App Store) |
| Type | One-time purchase — not a subscription |
| Renewal | None. Nothing renews and you are never charged again |
| Duration | Permanent — bought once, kept for as long as the App exists |
| Payment | Charged to your Apple ID account once, at confirmation of purchase |
7.3 Nothing to cancel
Because this is a one-time purchase, there is no subscription to cancel and no recurring charge. You will not be billed again.
7.4 Restoring your purchase
The unlock is tied to your Apple ID, not to your account with us. If you reinstall the App, change device, or create a new account, open the paywall and tap Restore Purchase to get your access back at no cost.
Deleting your account does not refund your purchase, and it erases your practice history permanently. Your unlock survives, and can be restored as above.
7.5 Refunds
All purchases are processed by Apple, and refunds are handled by Apple, not by us. We have no ability to issue refunds for App Store purchases.
Request a refund at https://reportaproblem.apple.com.
If you are a consumer in the European Union or United Kingdom, you may have a statutory right to withdraw from a purchase within 14 days. Because Apple is the merchant of record, exercise that right through Apple.
If Apple refunds your purchase, your access ends — the refund reverses the unlock.
7.6 Price changes
We may change the price of the unlock at any time. A change never affects a purchase already made — you are not charged again, and a later price rise costs you nothing. A new price applies only to people who buy after the change.
8. Health and Safety — Not Medical Treatment
This is the most important section of these Terms. Please read it in full.
8.1 Not medical advice
Breathing App is a general well-being and relaxation tool. It is not a medical device, and it does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Nothing in the App is a substitute for professional medical care.
The App is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition — including anxiety, panic disorder, asthma, insomnia, hypertension, or any other condition.
8.2 Stop if you feel unwell
Controlled breathing, and particularly breath holding, can cause light-headedness or dizziness in some people.
Stop using the App immediately if you feel dizzy, light-headed, faint, short of breath, tingling, chest discomfort, or unwell in any way. Return to normal, unforced breathing. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
Never force or strain your breathing. The timings shown are a guide, not a target to push through — breathe within your own comfort at all times.
8.3 Where not to use the App
Do not use the App while:
- Driving, cycling, or operating a vehicle or machinery
- Swimming, bathing, or in or near water
- Standing at height, on stairs, or anywhere a fall could cause injury
- Doing anything requiring your full attention
8.4 Consult a doctor first
Talk to a qualified healthcare professional before using the App if you are pregnant, or have or suspect any of the following: a respiratory condition (including asthma or COPD), a cardiovascular or heart condition, high or low blood pressure, epilepsy or a seizure disorder, an anxiety, panic, or dissociative disorder, a history of fainting, or any other significant medical condition.
If you are experiencing a medical or mental-health emergency, contact your local emergency services. Do not rely on this App.
8.5 Your responsibility
You use the App voluntarily and at your own risk. You are responsible for judging whether these exercises are appropriate for you, and for stopping when you should.
9. Third-Party Services
The App depends on services we do not control:
| Provider | Role | Their terms |
|---|---|---|
| Apple | App distribution and payment processing | https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/ |
| Supabase | Database, authentication, hosting | https://supabase.com/terms |
| RevenueCat | Purchase validation | https://www.revenuecat.com/terms |
| Resend | Transactional email delivery | https://resend.com/legal/terms-of-service |
| Sentry | Crash reporting | https://sentry.io/terms/ |
Their terms also apply to your use of the App to the extent they govern those services. We are not responsible for outages, changes, or failures of third-party services.
10. Availability
We aim to keep the App working reliably, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. The App may be unavailable due to maintenance, third-party outages, network problems, or factors beyond our control.
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features at any time. If we discontinue the App entirely, we will give reasonable advance notice through the App or by email, and will not charge for periods after it ceases operating.
Breathing App is operated by an individual developer. There is no service level agreement and no guaranteed support response time, although we aim to answer messages within 30 days.
11. Intellectual Property
We own the App and everything in it that is not your data: the name, logo, design, user interface, animations, source code, exercise descriptions, and all related content.
These Terms grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable licence to use the App for your own personal, non-commercial use, on devices you own or control, in accordance with the App Store Terms of Service.
You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, or create derivative works from the App or any part of it.
12. Termination
By you. Delete your account at any time in the App under Profile → Delete account, or simply stop using it. Deleting your account permanently erases your profile, practice history, and mood entries — this cannot be undone. Your one-time unlock is not refunded, but it stays attached to your Apple ID and can be restored (§7.4).
By us. We may suspend or terminate your account if you materially breach these Terms — in particular §5 (Acceptable Use). Where practical and lawful, we will give notice and an opportunity to remedy the breach first. If we terminate your account without cause after you have purchased the unlock, you may seek a refund through Apple.
Survival. Sections 6, 8, 11, 13, 14, 15, and 16 survive termination.
13. Disclaimer of Warranties
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THE APP WILL PRODUCE ANY PARTICULAR HEALTH, WELL-BEING, RELAXATION, OR OTHER OUTCOME.
14. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE APP.
OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) US $50.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law, and some of the above limitations may not apply to you. If you are a consumer, you may have statutory rights that these Terms cannot override, and nothing here affects those rights.
15. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and reasonable expenses (including legal fees) arising from:
- Your breach of these Terms
- Your misuse of the App
- Your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party
This does not apply to claims arising from our own negligence or wrongdoing, and does not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.
16. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Kuwait, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The courts of Kuwait have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these Terms or the App.
If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence, and you may be entitled to bring proceedings in your local courts.
Before starting formal proceedings, please contact us at q8seaman70@gmail.com — most issues can be resolved quickly and informally.
17. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted with a new "Last updated" date, and we will notify you in the App or by email before they take effect.
Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the App and delete your account.
18. General
Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App.
Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect.
No waiver. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them to a successor in connection with a transfer of the App, on notice to you.

Appendix A — App Store Additional Terms
Required by Apple. Do not remove. These terms apply where you obtained the App from the Apple App Store, and take precedence over any conflicting term above.
- This agreement is between you and us only, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
- Licence scope. Your licence is limited to using the App on Apple-branded products you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
- Maintenance and support. We are solely responsible for support. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the App.
- Warranty. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App. Any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty are our sole responsibility.
- Product claims. We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App, including product liability claims, failure to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and claims under consumer protection or similar legislation.
- Intellectual property claims. In the event of a third-party claim that the App infringes intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of that claim.
- Legal compliance. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Third-party beneficiary. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance, Apple has the right to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
