Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of these Terms

These Terms form an agreement between you and the author of Brain Alarm (“we,” “us,” or “our”), reachable at [email protected]. They apply alongside the Brain Alarm Privacy Policy, which is incorporated here by reference.

2. The app and what it does

Brain Alarm is a personal alarm-clock utility for Android. It schedules alarms, runs timers and a stopwatch, and requires you to solve a short on-device puzzle (chess, math, sliding puzzle, and similar challenges) to dismiss an alarm. The app runs entirely on your device and does not require a user account.

3. Licence

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to install and use the app on Android devices that you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial use.

Brain Alarm is licensed to you, not sold. All rights not expressly granted in these Terms are reserved by us and our licensors.

4. Acceptable use

When you use Brain Alarm, you agree that you will not:

• Use the app for any unlawful, harmful, fraudulent, or abusive purpose, or in a way that infringes anyone's rights.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the app, except to the extent this restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law (for example, the limited rights granted under the EU Software Directive for interoperability).
• Modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the app, or remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices.
• Copy, redistribute, sublicense, rent, lease, sell, or otherwise commercially exploit the app or any part of it.
• Use the app in any way that interferes with or disrupts the integrity, security, or performance of the app or any third-party systems.
• Use any automated means (bots, scrapers, etc.) to interact with or extract data from the app.

Google Play's own terms — including the Google Play Terms of Service — apply to your installation and use of the app from the Play Store. Nothing in these Terms overrides those terms; both apply.

5. Eligibility and age

You must be old enough under the law of your country of residence to enter into a binding agreement to use the app. The app is a general-audience utility and is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or under the age of 16 in jurisdictions where that is the relevant threshold, such as under the EU GDPR). See the Privacy Policy for our position on children's privacy.

6. No warranty

You are solely responsible for verifying that the app works as you expect on your device, and for using a redundant means of wake-up or notification for any matter where missing it could cause harm or loss.

7. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall we (the author of Brain Alarm) be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or in connection with the app or these Terms, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our total cumulative liability arising out of or in connection with the app or these Terms shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you actually paid us for the app in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD 10. Because Brain Alarm is distributed free of charge, this amount will typically be USD 10.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law — for example, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for any other liability that the law of your jurisdiction does not permit to be limited.

8. Privacy

Your use of the app is also governed by the Brain Alarm Privacy Policy. In short: the app does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal information about you. All app data lives on your device.

9. Third-party services

The app's “Send Feedback” option opens your device's email app to start a message to [email protected]. Sending feedback is voluntary; your message is composed and sent by your own email app through your own email provider, and you can edit or delete anything in the draft before sending. See the Privacy Policy for what we receive and how we handle it. The privacy-policy and terms documents themselves are hosted on Cloudflare Pages. We are not responsible for the content, availability, or policies of third-party services (such as your email provider) you reach from the app.

10. Intellectual property

The app, including its source code, design, graphics, text, sounds, and trademarks (including the “Brain Alarm” name and logo), is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Open-source components used in the app are licensed under their respective licences, which you can view in the app under Settings → About → Open-source licenses.

11. Updates and changes to the app

We may release updates to the app from time to time. Updates may add, change, or remove features, and may be required for the app to keep working with current Android versions or Play policies. Whether and when you receive an update depends on your device and the Play Store. We are not obliged to continue developing, supporting, or making the app available.

12. Termination

These Terms remain in effect for as long as you use the app. You can terminate them at any time by uninstalling the app and ceasing to use it. We may terminate or suspend your right to use the app at any time, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms or if we reasonably believe such action is needed to protect us or other users. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including No warranty, Limitation of liability, Intellectual property, and Governing law and jurisdiction) will survive.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time — for example, to reflect changes to the app, to legal requirements, or to improve clarity. When we make a material change, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, prompt you to review the revised Terms again inside the app. Continued use of the app after an update means you accept the revised Terms. If you do not agree with a change, please stop using the app and uninstall it.

14. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms, and any dispute or claim (whether contractual or non-contractual) arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of the app, are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

You and we agree that the competent courts of Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel shall have exclusive jurisdiction to resolve any such dispute or claim, and you submit to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. This does not affect any mandatory consumer-protection rights you have under the law of your country of residence — for example, your right under EU law to bring proceedings in the courts of your member state of residence.

15. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the app and supersede any prior agreements on the same subject. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, and the invalid provision will be replaced by a valid provision that most closely matches the original intent. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights under them; we may assign them in connection with a transfer of the app or of our business.
