Terms of Use

What this covers

Kinetic is an independent, solo-run focus timer — see the credit in the footer for who’s behind it. Using it means accepting what is on this page. If you do not accept it, do not use the app. Note that the timer itself works without an account, so there is nothing to sign away to try it.

Your account

Accounts are optional and free. Signing in works by emailing you a link, so anyone with access to your inbox can get into your account, so keep it secure. You can stop using the account whenever you like, and ask for it to be deleted by emailing privacy@kinetictimer.com.

Fair use

• ·Do not try to break into other people's accounts or data.
• ·Do not attack, overload, or probe the service.
• ·Do not resell Kinetic or pass it off as your own.

An account doing any of the above can be suspended or removed.

Kinetic Plus and payment

Kinetic Plus is an optional paid plan. It is sold through Paddle (Paddle.com Market Ltd), which acts as the merchant of record: Paddle takes the payment, sends the receipt, and charges any sales tax or VAT that applies where you live. The price, including any tax, is shown at checkout before you pay, and Paddle’s own buyer terms also apply to the purchase.

Free trial and automatic renewal

A new Kinetic Plus subscription starts with a 7-day free trial. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, you are then charged the price shown at checkout, and the subscription renews automatically every month or every year, depending on the plan you chose, until you cancel.

Cancelling

You can cancel at any time from Account → Manage subscription. Cancelling stops the next renewal: you keep Kinetic Plus until the end of the period you have already paid for, and you are not charged again. If you cancel during the free trial, you are not charged at all. If your account is deleted, your subscription is cancelled on the deletion date and the remaining paid period is not refunded. This does not affect any right to withdraw or be refunded described under Refunds.

Refunds

The free trial is in addition to any refund rights the law gives you, not a replacement for them. If you are a consumer in the EU or the UK, you may have a legal right to withdraw from the purchase within 14 days. Paddle, as merchant of record, handles withdrawal and refund requests.

Price changes

If the price of Kinetic Plus changes, we will give you notice before the new price applies to your subscription. It applies from your next renewal after that notice, and you can cancel before then if you do not want to continue.

Which law applies

These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario, Canada, and the courts there deal with any dispute. If you are a consumer somewhere else, this does not take away the protections your own country gives you.

Donations

Kinetic has an optional link for anyone who wants to say thanks with a one-time gift. Gifts are voluntary and non-refundable, and are made through Ko-fi, a separate service with its own terms. A gift is not a purchase: it does not buy, unlock or change anything in Kinetic, and it does not entitle you to priority, support or any feature beyond what is already free. Kinetic is not a registered charity, so gifts do not qualify for a tax receipt.

Changes and ending

These terms may change. Kinetic may also be discontinued. If that happens, anyone with an account gets reasonable notice and a chance to take their data with them.
