Terms of service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Get Bouncy ("Service"), a desktop focus timer with webcam-based exercise mini-games operated by Brice ("we", "us", "our").

By installing, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. What Get Bouncy is

Get Bouncy is a focus timer for macOS. Between work intervals, it launches short exercise mini-games that use your webcam to detect body movement.

Pose detection runs locally on your device using WebAssembly. Your webcam feed is processed on your machine. No video, frames, or pose data are uploaded to our servers.

2. Your account

You must be at least 18 years old and have reached the age of majority where you live to create an account and agree to these Terms. This applies to the beta, the free preview, and paid plans. An account is required to use the games and paid features. We do not offer accounts for children.

An adult account holder may let a minor play on the account, in person and under their supervision. The account holder remains responsible for that play, including the health and safety requirements in Section 4. Minors may not create their own accounts. Do not enter a minor's personal information anywhere in the Service, including in a display name, room name, or message.

You are responsible for:

• Providing accurate registration information
• Keeping your login credentials secure
• All activity that happens under your account
• Notifying us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access

We may suspend or terminate accounts that breach these Terms. Section 11 explains how we do that and what it means for your subscription.

3. Subscriptions and payment

3.1 Plans

Pricing and plans are described on the pricing page. We offer Weekly, Monthly, and Annual subscriptions, plus custom Teams plans. The exact tiers, limits, and prices listed there are part of these Terms.

3.2 Billing

Paid subscriptions are billed in advance at the interval shown at checkout: weekly, monthly, or annually. Polar is our Merchant of Record and handles checkout, payment collection, and subscription billing. Purchases are also subject to Polar's Checkout Buyer Terms. We do not receive or store your full payment-card details.

We may change pricing with 30 days' notice. Existing subscriptions keep their original price until the next renewal after the change.

3.3 Refunds

Refund terms are described on the refund page and form part of these Terms.

3.4 Right of withdrawal (EU consumers)

If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, Article L.221-18 of the French Consumer Code grants you a 14-day right of withdrawal from the date of purchase of digital content.

Get Bouncy goes beyond this legal minimum and offers a 30-day full refund policy that applies to every purchase. The 30-day refund window includes and exceeds the 14-day legal right of withdrawal; the two periods are not additive. You do not need to invoke a specific legal ground or fill any form: simply email us within 30 days of purchase as described on the refund page.

3.5 Failed payments

If a payment fails, we will retry and email you. If the issue is not resolved, we may pause your subscription until payment succeeds.

4. Health and safety

4.1 Conditions requiring medical clearance

Do not use the Service before consulting a qualified physician if you have, or have ever had, any of the following:

• Heart disease, prior heart attack, chest pain or angina, or any cardiovascular condition
• High blood pressure or other circulatory issues
• Dizziness, fainting episodes, or balance disorders
• Asthma or any chronic respiratory condition
• Joint, bone, back, or muscle injuries that could be aggravated by movement
• Recent surgery or any injury that has not fully healed
• Pregnancy or recent childbirth
• Epilepsy, photosensitive epilepsy, or any neurological condition
• Diabetes or other metabolic conditions affecting exertion tolerance
• Any medication that affects heart rate, balance, blood pressure, or reaction time
• Any other condition that may make physical activity unsafe for you

4.2 Your confirmation

By using the Service, you confirm that:

• You have either consulted a qualified physician and been cleared to participate in physical activity, or you have determined on your own informed judgment that you are healthy enough to do so
• You are physically able to perform the movements the games involve
• You will play in a clear space, away from people, pets, furniture, fragile objects, and any other obstacle that could be hit or knocked over
• You assume all risk of injury arising from gameplay
• You are solely responsible for any damage to property, your own or others', resulting from gameplay (for example, objects knocked over, screens hit, or items broken while moving)

4.3 Stop immediately

Stop playing and seek medical attention if you experience any of the following while playing or shortly after:

• Chest pain, pressure, or tightness
• Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting
• Shortness of breath out of proportion to the activity
• Pain in joints, bones, or muscles
• Nausea, blurred or altered vision, or severe headache
• Any other warning sign your body is sending you

4.4 Photosensitive epilepsy warning

A very small percentage of people may experience seizures triggered by flashing lights, strobing visuals, or rapid color changes, even with no prior history. If you, or anyone in your family, has a history of epilepsy or seizures, consult a physician before using the Service. Stop playing immediately and consult a doctor if you experience dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, disorientation, or convulsions while playing.

4.5 Not medical advice

The Service is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Nothing in or generated by the Service should be interpreted as medical advice.

4.6 Account holder responsibility

The account holder must be an adult, as described in Section 2. If you let a minor play on your account, you are responsible for their safety. Decide whether the activity is suitable for that child before they play, and supervise the session in person.

The conditions in Section 4.1 apply to whoever is playing, not only to you. Keep the space clear, and stop the session if any warning sign in Section 4.3 appears. Anyone who plays must follow the health, safety, and space precautions in this section.

5. Webcam access

The games use your webcam. Your browser or operating system will request permission before access is granted. You can revoke permission at any time through your browser or OS settings.

We do not record, transmit, or store webcam video. Pose detection runs in your browser using WebAssembly. See our privacy policy for the technical details.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source of the Service
• Resell, sublicense, or commercially redistribute the Service or your account
• Bypass usage limits, paywalls, or authentication via multiple accounts or other means
• Use the Service to harass, defame, or harm others
• Scrape, crawl, or automate interaction with the Service in ways not intended by us
• Use the Service to host or display illegal or harmful content
• Interfere with the Service's operation or other users' access

If you break these rules, we may suspend or terminate your account under Section 11.

7. Ownership

7.1 Your content and settings

Your account data, settings, and any content you create within the Service belong to you. You can export or delete your data at any time as described in the privacy policy.

7.2 The Service

The Service, including the desktop app, web games, branding, design, and software, is owned by us and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not transfer any rights in our intellectual property to you, beyond a limited, non-transferable license to use the Service for its intended purpose.

8. Service availability

We aim for high uptime but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. Availability may be affected by:

• Scheduled maintenance (we will give advance notice when possible)
• Third-party provider outages
• Force majeure events
• Security incidents requiring an immediate response

9. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

• THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
• WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
• WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.
• OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
• WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INJURY, LOSS, OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY (YOUR OWN OR OTHERS') ARISING FROM PHYSICAL ACTIVITY UNDERTAKEN THROUGH THE SERVICE, INCLUDING WHERE YOU IGNORED THE HEALTH, SAFETY, AND PROPERTY GUIDANCE IN SECTION 4.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Get Bouncy and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including legal fees) arising from:

• Your use of the Service
• Your violation of these Terms
• Your violation of any third-party rights
• Your failure to follow the health and safety guidance in Section 4

11. Termination

11.1 Cancelling your subscription

You can cancel your subscription at any time from your account dashboard. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period, and you keep access until then.

11.2 Suspension and termination by us

If you breach these Terms, including the acceptable use rules in Section 6, we may warn you, limit features on your account, suspend it, or terminate it.

We match the response to the problem. For something minor or accidental, we will normally contact you first and give you a chance to put it right. We may suspend or terminate immediately, without prior notice, where the breach is serious or deliberate, or where waiting would put the Service, other users, or us at risk. Examples of serious breach include:

• Payment fraud, chargeback abuse, or use of a stolen payment method
• Sharing, reselling, or sublicensing your account or your access
• Creating multiple accounts to get around usage limits, the free preview, or payment
• Harassing or harming other users
• Attacking, overloading, or interfering with the Service or its security
• Using the Service for an illegal purpose

11.3 Refunds when we terminate for breach

If we terminate your account for a serious or deliberate breach, we do not refund the unused part of your current billing period. Founder pricing held on a terminated account does not carry over to a new one.

This does not take away the refund rights in Section 3.3 and Section 3.4, or any other right you have under mandatory consumer law that cannot be waived by agreement. Where the law requires a refund, we will make it.

11.4 Your data after termination

When an account ends, access to the Service stops and we delete the account data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law, for example billing records. The privacy policy explains this in more detail.

11.5 If you think we got it wrong

Email hello@getbouncy.app from the address on your account and tell us what happened. A person will review the decision.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes we will:

• Post the updated Terms on this page and update the "Last updated" date
• Email you at the address on your account
• Show a notice in the app

Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by French law. If you are a consumer with habitual residence in the European Union, this choice of law does not deprive you of the mandatory consumer protections available under the law of your country of residence.

14. Dispute resolution

14.1 Contact us first

Before starting any formal dispute, please email hello@getbouncy.app so we can try to resolve the issue directly.

14.2 Courts

Subject to the mandatory consumer protection rules of your country of residence, any dispute arising from these Terms that is not resolved through the steps above shall be brought before the competent courts of Mulhouse, France.
