Welcome to BuddyBall (the "App"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute an agreement between you and the BuddyBall development team ("we", "us", or "our") regarding your download, installation, and use of the App.
Please read these Terms carefully before using the App. By downloading, installing, or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please stop using the App immediately.
1.1 BuddyBall is a cozy emotional companion app providing the following core features:
1.2 The App follows a freemium model:
buddyball.scanvid.top.pro.lifetime1.3 We may adjust, optimize, or modify features as the product evolves, and will notify you through appropriate channels. If the boundary between free and Pro features changes, we will announce it in advance through a prominent notice inside the App.
2.1 You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes. You must not use the App to engage in activities that violate laws or regulations, or that are harmful to national security, public interest, or public order.
2.2 You must not:
3.1 All content of the App, including but not limited to software code, interface design, character designs, icons, sounds, trademarks, and text, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws.
3.2 The records you create within the App (focus, sleep, achievements, etc.) are stored only on your device and remain under your control.
3.3 You may not use the BuddyBall name, trademark, logo, or other brand elements in any form without our prior written permission.
4.1 We value your privacy. The App follows a local-data-first principle — all data is stored only on your device, we do not collect or upload any personal data, and the App makes no network requests to any server of our own (only the system-level StoreKit traffic required for Pro purchase, restore, and Family Sharing verification).
4.2 Please refer to our Privacy Policy for details on how we protect your privacy. The Privacy Policy forms an integral part of these Terms.
5.1 The App is intended to provide a relaxing emotional companion experience along with focus and sleep assistance. It does not constitute medical advice, psychological diagnosis, or treatment of any kind, and is not a substitute for professional medical or psychological counseling services.
5.2 If you experience persistent emotional distress, sleep disorders, or other health issues, please consult a professional medical provider promptly. We are not liable for any consequences arising from delayed medical care due to reliance on the App.
6.1 The App is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we make no warranties, express or implied, regarding merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, reliability, uninterrupted availability, or error-free operation.
6.2 You acknowledge and agree that we are not liable for data loss or damage resulting from:
6.3 Reminder features rely on iOS system notification capabilities. Actual delivery time and presentation are affected by system settings, device state, and other factors; we do not guarantee that reminders will always be delivered on time.
7.1 To the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages arising from the use of or inability to use the App, including but not limited to loss of data or other intangible losses.
7.2 The core companion features of the App are provided free of charge, and Pro is an optional one-time purchase. In no event shall our total liability to you in connection with the App exceed the minimum extent mandatorily required by applicable law.
7.3 The above limitations do not apply to damages caused by our willful misconduct or gross negligence, nor do they exclude liabilities that applicable law does not allow to be excluded or limited.
8.1 We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be posted inside the App and on this page with a revised date. Your continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.
8.2 If you violate any provision of these Terms, we may terminate the service to you and reserve the right to pursue legal remedies.
8.3 You may stop using and uninstall the App at any time, which terminates these Terms. Uninstalling the App permanently deletes all App data on your device, and this cannot be undone.
8.4 Sections 3 (Intellectual Property), 6 (Disclaimer of Warranties), 7 (Limitation of Liability), and 9 (Governing Law) survive termination of these Terms.
9.1 These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
9.2 Disputes arising from these Terms shall first be resolved through friendly negotiation. If negotiation fails, either party may submit the dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction in the defendant's domicile.
10.1 These Terms (together with the Privacy Policy) constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the App.
10.2 If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
10.3 Our failure or delay in exercising any right under these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right.
