Terms of Use
Effective
1. Provider and scope
Tick & Kin and this website are provided by Wei Jiang. Contact support@theory-a.com with questions about these terms.
These terms describe the website and our product-specific practices. The app’s license is governed by Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (Standard EULA), unless a separate custom license is displayed for the app in the App Store. These terms do not replace that license or override rights you have under applicable consumer law.
2. Using Tick & Kin
Tick & Kin is a personal focus and break timer with illustrated companions. You choose your session lengths and when to start, pause, or reset. It is a general productivity tool, not medical advice, treatment, or a safety-critical alarm.
Use the app and website lawfully, respect others’ rights, and do not interfere with their operation or security. Your use of the app is also subject to the usage rights and restrictions in its applicable license.
3. Optional purchases
The timer, supported languages, and the Mochi, Pip, and Pebble companions are included free. Additional companion packs are optional one-time in-app purchases, not recurring subscriptions. Prices, currencies, taxes, and availability are shown by Apple before you confirm a purchase.
The three-pack collection includes Midnight Café, Moonlight Academy, and Orbital Night Shift. It does not promise access to future packs. Purchases can be restored with the same Apple Account through the app’s Restore Purchases option, subject to Apple’s purchase records and policies.
Apple processes payments and handles eligible refund requests. You can request assistance through Apple’s purchase support. Any statutory refund or consumer rights remain unaffected.
4. Availability and reminders
We aim to keep the app useful and the website accurate, but features may change with updates, device capabilities, or operating-system changes. Notifications may be delayed or silenced by device settings, Focus modes, or the operating system. Do not rely on Tick & Kin for critical reminders.
App Store availability depends on device, region, and release status. The website will link to the App Store when a listing is available. The free browser timer runs independently of the app; it does not sync sessions or purchases. App layouts may vary by device.
5. Artwork and intellectual property
The app, website, branding, and illustrations are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Using them does not transfer ownership or grant a right to redistribute or sell the artwork. Separately licensed components remain subject to their respective licenses.
6. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains local app storage, Apple purchases, website delivery, and information you provide when contacting support.
7. Your rights
The applicable app license governs warranties, liability, and termination for the app. Nothing on this page limits rights or remedies that cannot be excluded under the laws that apply to you. We do not promise a particular productivity result from using the app.
8. Updates and contact
We may update these terms to reflect product or legal changes. The date above identifies the current version. For questions or a copy of a previous version, contact support@theory-a.com.
