Pomodoro Sync

Terms of Service

Last updated: 2 October 2026

This is an English translation provided for convenience. In case of any discrepancy, the Spanish version prevails.

1. Who provides the service

Pomodoro Sync (the "app" or the "service") is an independent project developed and run by a private individual resident in Spain (hereinafter "we" or "the owner"), not by a company. All communication relating to the service, payments, complaints and the exercise of your rights is handled at traderacero26@gmail.com. We reply to every request within a reasonable time and, where the law sets a specific deadline, within that deadline.

2. Acceptance and who may use the app

These terms govern the use of Pomodoro Sync in all its versions (Android, Windows and web at pomodorosync.app), regardless of where you downloaded it. By creating an account or using the app you accept these terms and our privacy policy. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

You must be at least 14 years old to use the app. To make a purchase you must be of legal age or have the authorization of your mother, father or legal guardian, who will be responsible for the purchase.

3. What is free and what requires payment

Free: the complete Pomodoro timer (work and break phases, settings, sounds and notifications), with no time limit, on the first platform on which you use your account and on all your devices on that platform. By "platform" we mean each family of systems on which the app is distributed: Android, Windows or web (the browser). For example, if you start on Android, you can use the app for free on all your Android phones and tablets with the same account.

Paid unlock: gives access to (a) using your account and syncing the timer in real time on any other platform different from the first one, and (b) the statistics screen (completed sessions, focused time, streak and recent history).

We may add new features in the future. Those features may be free, form part of the unlock or, if they are substantially different, be offered separately; under no circumstances will we reduce what the unlock you have purchased already includes.

4. Price and payment method

• Price: €4.99, final price including applicable taxes. It is shown before you confirm the purchase.
• One-time payment: it is not a subscription. There are no renewals, fees or subsequent charges of any kind.
• Windows and web (including the Microsoft Store version): payment is processed through Stripe, on a secure Stripe payment page. We never see or store your card details. Stripe sends you the purchase receipt by email.
• Android: payment is processed through Google Play, which may show the price in your local currency and include your country's taxes. The Google Play Terms of Service also apply, and Google sends you the purchase receipt.

We may change the price in the future, but any change applies only to new purchases, never to those already made.

5. What exactly you get with the payment

A personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable license to use the unlocked features while the service is available, associated with the Google account with which you made the purchase (not with a device). You can use it on all your devices and platforms by signing in with that same account. It cannot be transferred to another Google account, resold or shared with other people.

The unlock is activated automatically within a few seconds of the payment being confirmed. If it has not been activated after a few minutes, write to us and we will sort it out.

6. Right of withdrawal

As a consumer, you generally have a 14-day right of withdrawal for distance purchases. However, the unlock is digital content that is supplied and activated immediately after payment. For this reason, before you pay, the app (by means of a checkbox you must tick in order to continue) and, on Windows and web, also the Stripe payment page ask you to expressly request that the unlock be activated immediately and to acknowledge that, as a result, you lose the right of withdrawal once it has been activated (Article 103.m of the Real Decreto Legislativo 1/2007, the consolidated text of the Ley General para la Defensa de los Consumidores y Usuarios — Spain's General Law for the Protection of Consumers and Users). The receipt you receive by email confirms the purchase.

This does not affect your rights if the unlock is never activated or does not work as described (see section 7). In addition, on Android, Google Play may offer refunds under its own refund policy. And if you have any other problem with your purchase, write to us: we review every case in good faith.

7. Guarantee of conformity

We are responsible for ensuring that the unlock works exactly as described in these terms and in the app, in accordance with the legal guarantee of conformity for digital content and services (Articles 114 et seq. of the Real Decreto Legislativo 1/2007). If something does not work, write to us: we will first try to fix it at no cost to you, within a reasonable time; if that is not possible, you will be entitled to a price reduction or a full refund.

8. Your account

Access to the app is by signing in with a Google account. You are responsible for maintaining access to that account and for the activity carried out with it in the app.

You can delete your account and your data at any time from Settings → Account → "Delete my account and all my data". When you delete your account you also permanently lose the unlock: if you sign in again with the same Google account, a new account will be created without the unlock, and voluntarily deleting the account does not entitle you to a refund. Details of which data is deleted and which we must keep by law can be found in the privacy policy.

9. Acceptable use

By using the app you agree not to:

• circumvent, disable or tamper with the payment or unlock system;
• decompile or modify the app, except to the extent expressly permitted by law;
• access our servers in an automated or bulk manner, or carry out any action that could overload or damage them;
• use the app for unlawful purposes or purposes that infringe the rights of third parties.

If you breach these terms seriously or repeatedly, we may suspend or terminate your access, notifying you first by email unless the urgency or seriousness of the case prevents it.

If a payment is fully refunded, voided or disputed (for example, through a chargeback with your bank or a refund granted by Google Play), the unlock associated with that payment will automatically stop being active. If the dispute is resolved in favor of the payment, the unlock is reactivated. The free timer remains available on your first platform in any case.

10. Intellectual property

The app, its design, its code, its name and its logo belong to the owner. These terms do not grant you any rights over them beyond the license of use described. The app includes third-party open-source components, which are governed by their own licenses.

11. Availability, changes and end of the service

We strive to keep the app and sync continuously available, but there may be occasional interruptions due to maintenance, updates or failures of the providers the service relies on (Google Firebase, Google Play, Stripe). We may improve or modify the app, provided that the features you have paid for are not substantially reduced.

If at any point we decide to stop offering the service, we will announce it in the app and on the website at least 60 days in advance.

By design, the details of each session are kept for 21 days; the statistics totals and streak are kept for as long as you keep your account (see the privacy policy). The app is not a backup system or a time-recording system with evidentiary value.

12. Liability

Pomodoro Sync is a time-management tool. We do not guarantee any specific productivity result, and we are not liable for indirect damages, loss of profits or losses arising from use of the app other than as intended or from causes beyond our reasonable control.

Nothing in the above limits our liability in cases where the law does not allow it to be limited (in particular, for wilful misconduct or gross negligence), nor the rights granted to you by consumer protection legislation that cannot be excluded by contract.

13. App stores

If you download the app from Google Play or Microsoft Store, the terms of those stores also apply to the download and, in the case of Google Play, to the payment. However, we, not Google or Microsoft, are responsible for the app, its operation and its support.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms to reflect changes in the app or in the law. If the change is significant, we will notify you in the app or by email at least 15 days before it takes effect, and you can always delete your account if you do not agree. Changes never affect the essential characteristics of a purchase already made.

15. Governing law and complaints

These terms are governed by Spanish law. If you are a consumer, you may bring any claim before the courts of your place of residence, and you retain the protection afforded to you by the mandatory rules of your country of residence in the European Union.

First of all, we ask you to write to us so that we can try to resolve the matter amicably. We do not adhere to any consumer arbitration or alternative dispute resolution scheme, without prejudice to your right to contact the consumer affairs services of your autonomous community (region) or your municipality.

16. Contact

For any questions about these terms, a payment, a complaint or a refund request, write to traderacero26@gmail.com stating the email address of your Google account and, if it concerns a payment, the date of purchase.
