Terms of Service

Effective date: 5 November 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Focus Hotel: Pomodoro Timer app for iOS and Android and its related services (the "App"). The App is developed and operated by Jesús Calleja Rodríguez ("we", "us"), based in Austria. Contact: focushotelapp@gmail.com.

By downloading or using the App you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

1. Who can use the App

You must be at least 16 years old, or the age of digital consent in your country if it is lower, to use the App. If you are younger, a parent or legal guardian must accept these Terms on your behalf and supervise your use, especially of the social features. If you are not the bill payer of the device, we assume you have the bill payer's permission to use the App and make purchases.

2. License

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on devices you own or control. You may not copy, modify, translate, resell or distribute the App or its content (including its art, furniture, clothing and rooms), make derivative versions, or try to extract its source code, except where the law expressly allows it.

The App, its code, design, pixel art, trademarks and branding belong to Jesús Calleja Rodríguez or its licensors.

3. No account needed

The App does not ask you to sign up. It creates an anonymous identifier on your device so that social features and purchases work. Because there is no account, your progress is linked to your installation: if you delete the App or change device, some of your progress may not be recoverable. Purchases made with your store account can be restored as described in section 6.

4. Social features and player conduct

You can choose a username, publish your room so other players can visit it in Explore, visit other rooms and use the in-room chat. When using these features you agree not to:

use offensive, hateful, sexual, violent or discriminatory usernames, rooms or messages;
harass, threaten or bully other players, or impersonate other people;
share personal information about yourself or others, such as addresses or phone numbers;
send spam, advertising, phishing or links to external content;
cheat, exploit bugs, interfere with the App or its servers, or use bots or automated tools;
post anything illegal or that infringes the rights of others.

You can report, mute and block other players from inside the App. We review reports and may remove content, hide or unpublish rooms, release usernames, or restrict or suspend access to the social features for anyone who breaks these rules. Content you publish, such as your username, avatar, room and chat messages, can be seen by other players.

5. Your content

You are responsible for the content you create in the App. You keep the rights to it, and you give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, copy, adapt and show it inside the App, for as long as it is published. You can unpublish your room at any time.

6. Purchases, subscriptions and Focusines

The App is free to download. Some content and features require a paid subscription or a one-time purchase, and you can buy packs of Focusines, the in-app currency.

Payments are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play, under their terms. We do not receive your payment card details.
The price, duration and content of each plan or pack are shown before you confirm the purchase.
Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. You can manage or cancel them in your App Store or Google Play account settings. Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription.
If a free trial is offered, it turns into a paid subscription when it ends unless you cancel before.
Refunds are handled by Apple or Google according to their policies. By starting to use digital content immediately after purchase, you acknowledge that the statutory right of withdrawal may no longer apply, without affecting any other rights you have under consumer law.
You can restore subscriptions and one-time purchases from the App using the same store account.

Focusines, whether earned by focusing or purchased, can only be used inside the App to get items and room upgrades. They have no monetary value, cannot be exchanged for money, and cannot be transferred or sold to other people. Focusines and items you have obtained are stored with your installation and may be lost if you delete the App.

We may change prices, packs or the content of paid plans in the future. Changes will never affect a period or purchase you have already paid for.

7. Focus sessions and Deep Focus

The App helps you build focus habits with timed sessions. Deep Focus uses your device's screen-time features, with your permission, to limit distracting apps during a session. These features depend on your device and operating system and may not work in every case. The App is a productivity tool for personal use: it is not medical or professional advice and we do not guarantee any particular result.

8. Third-party services

The App uses third-party services that have their own terms and privacy policies:

Google Firebase (Analytics, Crashlytics, Authentication, Firestore, Realtime Database, Cloud Messaging, Remote Config, App Check)
RevenueCat
Sentry
Google Ads on-device conversion measurement (iOS)
Apple App Store and Google Play

How we collect and use data is explained in our Privacy Policy.

9. Availability and updates

We work to keep the App useful and working, but we do not guarantee that it will always be available, free of errors or compatible with every device or operating system version. Social features need an internet connection; your mobile operator may charge you for data, including roaming. We may update, change or stop any part of the App. To keep using the App you may need to install the latest version.

10. Device security

You are responsible for keeping your device secure. We recommend not jailbreaking or rooting your device, as the App may not work properly and your device may become vulnerable.

11. Liability

The App is provided "as is". To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, for loss of data or progress, or for the behaviour or content of other players. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for personal injury, intent or gross negligence, or any other liability that cannot be limited by law, nor your statutory rights as a consumer.

12. Termination

You can stop using the App at any time by deleting it. We may suspend or end your access to the App or its social features if you seriously or repeatedly break these Terms, or immediately if you break the law or put other players at risk. When access ends, the license in these Terms ends too.

13. Digital Services Act (EU)

For the social features of the App, the following applies under Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (the "DSA"):

Point of contact: users and authorities can contact us at focushotelapp@gmail.com, in English or Spanish.
Reporting illegal content: you can report content in the App or by email. Please include where the content is (for example the username or room), why you think it is illegal, and your name and email, except for reports about child sexual abuse material. We confirm receipt and decide without undue delay.
Moderation decisions: if we remove your content or restrict your access, we tell you the reason and how to challenge it, where we can contact you in the App.
Complaints: you can ask us to review a moderation decision by writing to us within six months. You can also use a certified out-of-court dispute settlement body or go to court.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The new version will be published on this page with its effective date. If the changes are important, we will let you know in the App. Previous versions are available on request.

15. Applicable law

These Terms are governed by Austrian law, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of your country of residence and can go to the courts of your place of residence. If a part of these Terms is found invalid, the rest remains in force.
