Terms and Conditions

You must be at least 13 years old to use Kudos. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may only use it with the involvement of a parent or guardian who accepts these terms on your behalf.

You can start using the app as a guest, without giving us anything. A guest account lives on our servers but has no email address attached, which means it cannot be recovered if you lose access to your device. Adding an email address or signing in with Google or Apple turns it into a full account you can get back.

You are responsible for keeping your credentials to yourself and for everything done through your account. Tell us promptly if you think someone else has got into it.

You may delete your account at any time from the Profile tab. Deletion is permanent.

While using Kudos, you agree not to:

• Harass, threaten, impersonate, or abuse another user - including through usernames, profile photos, applause, or nudges.
• Upload anything unlawful, hateful, or sexually explicit, or anything you do not have the right to upload.
• Manipulate XP, streaks, or the rankings by automated or fraudulent means.
• Attempt to access another user's account or any part of our systems you have not been granted access to.
• Probe, scrape, overload, or interfere with the service or the infrastructure behind it.
• Reverse engineer the app except to the extent the law expressly permits.

We may remove content or suspend accounts that break these rules.

Your tasks, notes, and profile photo remain yours. We claim no ownership of them.

You grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, and display that content solely so we can operate the app for you - for example, storing your tasks so they sync across your devices, or showing your profile photo to a friend. The licence ends when you delete the content or your account, subject to the retention described in our Privacy Policy.

Adding a friend lets them see your display name, photo, level, XP, streak, and the days you completed tasks. It does not let them see what your tasks say. Appearing on the public ranking makes your username, photo, level, and XP visible to other users.

You can hide your activity feed or block another account at any time. Please treat other people's streaks with the same good faith you would want for your own.

The Grow tools - the focus timer, the breathing exercise, and the meditation - are offered for general well-being. They are not medical devices, not therapy, and not a substitute for professional advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Do not use the breathing exercise while driving, swimming, or doing anything else where light-headedness would be dangerous, and stop if you feel unwell. If you are struggling, please talk to a qualified professional or your local emergency service.

Kudos is provided free of charge. We may add, change, or withdraw features, and we may suspend the service for maintenance or for reasons outside our control. We will try to give notice of significant changes, but we cannot promise the app will always be available or free of errors.

You may stop using the app and delete your account whenever you like. We may suspend or terminate your access if you break these terms, or if we are required to by law. Sections that by their nature should survive termination - ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law - will do so.

To the fullest extent the law allows, the app is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that any data will never be lost.

To the fullest extent the law allows, Kudos will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of your use of the app.

Nothing in these terms excludes any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Where you have mandatory rights under the law of the country you live in, those rights are not affected.

We may revise these terms as the app changes. The date at the top of this page shows when they were last updated, and continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the revised terms.
