Terms and Conditions

Introduction

Blobodoro is a freemium productivity application. By downloading or using the Blobodoro app ("Service," "App," or "Application"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. Please read them carefully before using the Service. The core timer functionality is free; optional premium subscriptions provide enhanced features (cloud sync, export, cosmetics, ad removal).

If you do not agree with these Terms, you should not use Blobodoro.

These Terms apply to all users of the Service and are intended to ensure a safe, fair, and enjoyable experience.

Use of the App

Blobodoro is a focus timer and tracker that helps users manage and record focus sessions. The app is available in both free and premium tiers, offering features such as cloud backup, advanced analytics, and cosmetic customizations. You may use the app for personal, non-commercial purposes only.

Premium Tiers:

• Free: Basic focus timer, local data storage, ads shown
• Monthly Premium ($3.99/month): Cloud sync, statistics export, preset timers, no ads
• Yearly Premium ($49.99/year): All monthly features + cost savings
• Lifetime Premium ($149.99 one-time): All features forever + exclusive fish suggestions

You agree not to:

• Modify, copy, distribute, or resell any part of the App
• Use the App in any unlawful or harmful manner
• Attempt to decompile or reverse-engineer the App's source code
• Upload or share harmful, misleading, or offensive content (fish suggestions, session names)
• Exploit bugs or glitches for unfair advantages (currency duplication, unlock bypasses)
• Share or sell premium accounts
• Use automated tools or bots to manipulate app functionality

Virtual Currency, Bundles & Variant Rolling

Virtual Currencies: Blobodoro uses two in-app, non-transferable virtual currencies: Coins and Pearls. Neither has real-world monetary value, and neither can be redeemed, withdrawn, gifted, traded, or exchanged outside the app.

Coin Earning (Gameplay):

• Standard Focus Session (25 min): 10 coins
• Optional Rewarded Ad Bonus: Doubles a session’s coin reward (20 coins maximum cap per session)
• Duplicates of fish variants may convert to coins (fixed amount – subject to adjustment)

Pearl Usage:

• Pearls are a premium crafting / cosmetic unlock currency (e.g. special variants, future decorative features)
• Earned via bundles, subscriptions (if applicable), or promotional events
• Not awarded by standard focus sessions or ads

Purchase Options (One-Time Currency Packs):

• Coin Pack 50 – grants 50 coins
• Coin Pack 200 – grants 200 coins
• Coin Pack 500 – grants 500 coins
• Coin Pack 1200 – grants 1,200 coins
• Pearl Pack 1 – grants 1 pearl
• Pearl Pack 5 – grants 5 pearls
• Pearl Pack 12 – grants 12 pearls
• Pearl Pack 25 – grants 25 pearls

Bundles (Mixed Rewards):

• Starter Bundle (One-Time): 100 coins + 4 pearls (available once per account)
• Mid Pack Bundle: 300 coins + 10 pearls
• Premium Bundle: 600 coins + 20 pearls

Subscriptions (Premium Tiers):

Premium / Lifetime tiers may include periodic bonus coins or pearls (exact amounts displayed in-app and subject to adjustment for balance). Any recurring grant occurs on purchase and on each renewal date. Subscription bonuses are not guaranteed and may change prospectively for future billing cycles.

Variant Rolling System (Randomized Fish Unlocks – Not Purchasable Directly):

• Fish variants obtained via daily earned rolls (time / ad gated); rolls themselves are NOT purchased with coins or pearls
• Daily Roll Allowance: 5 rolls (resets at local midnight). Free users watch a rewarded ad per roll; Premium users consume instantly
• Focus Bonus Roll: 1 additional roll earned per 50 minutes of accumulated daily focus time
• Boosted First Focus Roll: First focus-earned roll each day uses enhanced rarity odds (see in-app info)
• Rarities: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary (lower drop rate at higher rarity)
• Duplicate variants may auto-convert into coins (non-random fixed conversion)
• Pity Counters: Rare+ guaranteed after 20 rolls without Rare+, Epic+ after 50 rolls without Epic+, Legendary after 200 rolls without Legendary (resets upon obtaining qualifying rarity)
• Rewarded ads do not alter rarity probabilities (ads only unlock roll execution for free users)
• Current probability tables + boosted odds displayed in-app (Shop → Info icon)

Important Disclosures:

• All currency grants are immediate and deterministic (no gambling / no randomization in purchases)
• Currencies cannot be refunded, reversed, transferred, traded, or exchanged for real money
• Starter Bundle is strictly one-time; attempts to repurchase are blocked
• Pricing and availability may vary by region and platform (final price shown at checkout)
• We may rebalance coin / pearl earnings or bundle contents prospectively for game balance
• Misuse (fraud, exploitation, automation) may result in forfeiture without refund

We reserve the right to modify virtual currency systems, bundle contents, daily roll counts, boosted odds, fish availability, or reward structures at any time without notice or compensation. Changes apply prospectively.

Full details are available in the Privacy Policy. Most user data resides locally; premium cloud backups are limited in scope.

Cloud Save & Load (Premium Feature)

USER RESPONSIBILITY – YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR PROPER USE OF CLOUD FEATURES

Cloud Sync (Backup/Restore) is a Premium-only feature that allows you to backup and restore your focus sessions, fish collection, and currency across devices. By using cloud features, you acknowledge:

User Responsibilities:

• You are solely responsible for understanding how Save/Load works before using it
• Load = Overwrite: Loading cloud data REPLACES your current local data entirely
• Save = Overwrite: Saving to cloud REPLACES your previous cloud backup
• Accidental overwrite is YOUR responsibility – we cannot restore lost data
• Always verify which data is more recent before loading or saving
• Read the in-app prompts carefully before confirming any cloud operation

Emergency Backup (7-Day Safety Net):

• Previous cloud save automatically kept for 7 days as "Emergency Backup"
• Accessible via Account → Cloud Save → Emergency Restore
• After 7 days, emergency backup is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered
• This is your ONLY protection against accidental overwrites

Data Loss Scenarios (No Liability):

• Accidental cloud load overwrites local data (user error)
• Accidental cloud save overwrites previous backup (user error)
• Device uninstallation without cloud backup (user forgot to save)
• Premium expiration and 90-day inactivity (automatic deletion per policy)
• Supabase service outages or technical failures (beyond our control)

NO REFUNDS OR COMPENSATION FOR LOST DATA

We are NOT liable for any data loss, regardless of cause. This includes lost progress, fish collections, currency, focus session history, or premium subscriptions. No refunds will be issued for data loss under any circumstances.

Cloud save/load is provided "as-is" for user convenience. Use with caution and always maintain awareness of which data is being overwritten.

AGGREGATE CAP: FOR PAID (PREMIUM) USERS, OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID TO US FOR PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTIONS OR LIFETIME ACCESS IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

In case of conflict between these Terms and app store terms, the app store terms will prevail for matters related to your relationship with that platform.

Subscription Management and Upgrades

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MANAGING YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS

If you purchase Lifetime Premium while you have an active monthly or yearly subscription, your existing subscription will NOT be automatically canceled. You are responsible for manually canceling your previous subscription through your Apple App Store account settings to avoid duplicate charges.

Key Points:

• No Automatic Cancellation: Blobodoro does not and cannot automatically cancel existing App Store subscriptions when you upgrade
• Manual Cancellation Required: You must cancel previous subscriptions yourself via iOS Settings → Subscriptions or apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions
• Multiple Active Subscriptions: If you fail to cancel, you may be charged for both your old subscription AND Lifetime Premium
• No Refunds for Overlapping Charges: We are not responsible for duplicate charges resulting from uncanceled subscriptions
• Upgrade Reminders: While the app may remind you to cancel when upgrading, it is ultimately your responsibility to manage your subscriptions

Important: Apple processes all subscription billing independently. We have no ability to cancel, modify, or refund App Store subscriptions. All subscription management must be done through your Apple account.

Refund Policy

ALL SALES ARE FINAL – NO REFUNDS WILL BE ISSUED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES

By making any in-app purchase (subscriptions, currency packs, or other paid content), you acknowledge and agree that all purchases are final and non-refundable, including but not limited to:

• Feature Changes: No refunds if features are modified, removed, or not to your liking
• App Discontinuation: No refunds if Blobodoro is discontinued or removed from app stores

Subscription Cancellation:

• You can cancel subscriptions anytime via iOS Settings → Subscriptions

• Premium access continues until end of current billing cycle
• After cancellation, cloud data retained for 90 days (then deleted per data retention policy)

Apple App Store Refunds:

While we do NOT issue refunds, you may request a refund directly from Apple via reportaproblem.apple.com. Apple refund approval is at their sole discretion and NOT guaranteed. If Apple approves a refund, your premium access will be immediately revoked.

This policy is enforced to prevent abuse and ensure fair access for all users. Please consider purchases carefully before completing transactions.

Force Majeure

We shall not be responsible for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including: natural disasters, fire, flood, earthquake, epidemic, pandemic, civil unrest, war, terrorism, embargoes, labor disputes, utility failures, widespread cloud provider or CDN outages, denial-of-service attacks, or governmental actions. Performance is suspended for the duration of the force majeure period without liability.

Dispute Resolution

Any disputes arising from these Terms or use of Blobodoro shall be resolved through:

• Informal Resolution: Contact us first to attempt resolution
• Binding Arbitration: Unresolved disputes shall be settled by binding arbitration
• Individual Claims Only: You agree not to participate in class action lawsuits

This arbitration agreement does not apply to disputes that can be brought in small claims court or intellectual property disputes.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. The invalid provision will be replaced with a valid provision that most closely reflects the original intent.

Business Transfers

If Blobodoro or its assets are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction. Any successor will honor these Terms and the Privacy Policy, and will use your data only as allowed under the same or substantially similar protections.
