Changes to these terms

We will aim to give you at least 30 days’ notice of any change by sending you an email or SMS with details of the change or notifying you of a change when you next start the App.
Updates to the App

If someone else owns the phone or device you are using
If you download the App onto any phone or other device not owned by you, you must have the owner’s permission to do so. You will be responsible for complying with these terms, whether or not you own the phone or other device.
We may collect technical data about your device
There are areas of the App which are tailored to you based on the information you provide, such as suggesting daily activities based on the diagnostic information you complete.
By using the App, you agree to us collecting and using technical information about the devices you use the App on and related software, hardware and peripherals to improve our App and any other products or services we might provide to you.

The App may contain links to other independent websites which are not provided by us. Such independent sites are not under our control, and we are not responsible for and have not checked and approved their content or their privacy policies (if any).
Where the App contains links to other sites and resources provided by third parties, these links are provided for your information only. Such links should not be interpreted as approval, recommendation or an endorsement by us of those linked websites or information you may obtain from them. Similarly, we have no control over the contents of those sites or resources and are in no way responsible for the content of those sites or resources.
You will need to make your own independent judgement about whether to use any such independent sites, including whether to buy any products or services offered by them.

Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time you accepted these terms, both we and you knew it might happen.
Our total liability to you arising out of or in connection with these terms or your use of (or inability to use) the App shall be limited to the greater of (i) £50.00 or (ii) three times the price paid for the App during the 12 (twelve) months preceding the date on which the claim arose.
We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so.
What happens if you breach our terms. If we suffer any claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses or costs (including any professional costs or expenses we might incur) that arise out of or in connection with (1) your access to or use of the App or (2) any serious breach by you of these terms you must reimburse or compensate us for any such loss or damage on a £ for £ basis.
We are not liable for damage to your property. We will not be liable for damage that you could have avoided by following our advice to apply an update offered to you free of charge or for damage that was caused by you failing to correctly follow installation instructions or to have in place the minimum system requirements advised by us.
We are not liable for business losses. The App is for your private, personal use. If you use the App for any commercial, business or resale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of sales or business, loss of agreements or contracts, business interruption, loss of business opportunity, loss of anticipated savings, loss of use or corruption of software, data or information, loss of or damage to goodwill or any other indirect or consequential losses.
If any provision or part-provision of these terms are or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable, they are deemed to be deleted, but that will not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of these terms. If any provision or part-provision of these terms are deemed deleted under this paragraph, we will work with you to agree a replacement provision that achieves the intended commercial result of the original wording.

The use of meditations should not be undertaken whilst carrying out any other activity that requires attention or concentration, including but not limited to when driving, operating any machinery or performing any other task.
Whilst we may provide details of suggested meditations, activities or techniques but you should and must also exercise your own independent judgment as to whether or not such meditations, activities or techniques are safe and appropriate for you to participate in.
The range of suggested meditations, activities and techniques are for general and illustrative purposes only and are not always specific, appropriate and right for you.
Although we make reasonable efforts to update the information provided by the App, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, that such information is accurate, complete or up to date.

Check that the App is suitable for you. The App has not been developed to meet your individual requirements. Please check that the facilities and functions of the App (as described on the appstore site) meet your requirements.
We are not responsible for events outside our control. If our provision of or support for the App is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end your contract with us.
We may end your rights to use the App if you break these terms

If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force
Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later
Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings

Alternative dispute resolution

Alternative dispute resolution is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court. If you are not happy with how we have handled any complaint, you may want to contact the alternative dispute resolution provider we use, details of which are available upon request by writing to us at the addresses provided above. You can submit a complaint to the provider, and we will not charge you for making a complaint and if you are not satisfied with the outcome, you can still bring legal proceedings. In addition, please note that disputes may be submitted for online resolution to the European Commission Online Dispute Resolution platform.
