Terms of Service

Effective Date: April 11, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Kinetic mobile application (the "App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Kinetic ("we," "our," or "us").

You represent that you are at least 18 years old or have reached the age of majority in your jurisdiction, and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are using the App on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Description of Service

Kinetic is a productivity and fitness mobile application that helps users manage their phone usage by requiring physical exercises (push-ups) to unlock access to selected applications. The App provides:

  • App blocking functionality using Apple's Screen Time API
  • Real-time exercise detection using device camera and Apple's Vision framework
  • Progress tracking, statistics, and goal setting
  • Customizable blocking schedules and app selections
  • Optional premium subscription features

The App is provided "as is" and we reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any features at any time without notice.

3. Subscriptions and Payments

3.1 Subscription Plans

We offer the following subscription plans:

  • Weekly: $1.99 per week
  • Monthly: $4.99 per month
  • Yearly: $19.99 per year

All subscriptions include a 3-day free trial for new subscribers. Prices are subject to change with notice. Price changes will not affect active subscriptions until renewal.

3.2 Billing and Renewal

Subscriptions are billed through your Apple ID account and are subject to Apple's Terms of Service. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal in your Apple ID Account Settings after purchase.

3.3 Free Trial

New subscribers are eligible for a 3-day free trial. You can cancel anytime during the trial period without charge. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, you will automatically be charged the subscription price and your subscription will begin.

Free trial eligibility is determined by Apple and is typically limited to one per Apple ID. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue free trial offers at any time.

3.4 Cancellation

You can cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple ID Account Settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You will retain access to premium features until the end of your paid period. No partial refunds will be provided for unused portions of a subscription period.

3.5 Refunds

All purchases are processed through Apple's App Store and are subject to Apple's refund policy. We do not have the ability to process refunds directly. To request a refund, please contact Apple Support or visit reportaproblem.apple.com. Refund requests must be made within the timeframe specified by Apple's policies.

15. Waiver

No waiver by us of any term or condition set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition.
