Terms of Service

These terms are the agreement between you and Joan Manuel Serna Leiton, the independent developer behind Pausita ("we"). We kept them short and clear. By installing Pausita or creating an account, you accept them.

What Pausita is

Pausita is a desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux that reminds you to take short eye breaks following the 20-20-20 rule and, if you turn it on, reminds you of your upcoming meetings.

It's a wellbeing tool, not a medical device. It doesn't diagnose, treat or prevent any condition. If your eyes bother you, see an eye care professional.

Your account

You sign in with your email and a one-time code. Keep your email secure: whoever controls it controls your account.

You must be at least 16 years old, or the age of digital consent in your country, to create an account.

Free trial

New users get 7 days free on up to 2 devices, with no card needed. One trial per person and per device. When the trial ends, the app locks until you subscribe.

Subscription and payment

Pausita is sold as a monthly or yearly subscription. Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries about billing and handles returns.

You see the price before paying; taxes may apply depending on your country. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each period until you cancel.

Devices

Every subscription includes 2 devices. You can add extra devices for an additional fee, up to 10 per account; the first charge is prorated for the current period.

You can replace a device a limited number of times per month. Your account is for you: please don't share it.

Company plans

A company plan lets an organization cover its people. Whoever creates the company is its owner and pays for it; owners can name admins. A company starts with a 14-day free trial for up to 10 people, then continues with a yearly plan for 100, 500 or 1,000 people. You see the price before paying, and it is billed to the owner through Paddle.

Owners and admins add people by email. While someone is in the company, the company's plan covers them in place of their own trial or subscription; if they leave or are removed, they go back to their own account's plan, if they have one. Owners and admins can lock some app settings for everyone, and members can't change those in their apps.

Owners and admins can see who is in the company, whether each person installed Pausita, and how many breaks they took or skipped. Owners are responsible for letting their people know. If the company's plan ends, its members' apps lock like any expired subscription.

Price changes

If we change our prices, new prices apply only to new subscriptions. As long as your subscription stays active, you keep the price you signed up with. If you cancel and come back later, the current price applies.

Cancellation

You can cancel anytime from your account. You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for; after that, the app locks.

Refunds

See our Refund Policy. In short: if you're not happy, ask for a refund within 14 days of any payment.

License

While your trial or subscription is active, we give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use Pausita on your registered devices.

Don't copy, resell, reverse-engineer or bypass the license checks, except where the law expressly allows it.

Updates and availability

Pausita updates itself to fix bugs and improve. We may change or remove features. The app works offline for up to 3 days; after that it needs to connect to check your subscription.

We work hard to keep the service running, but we can't guarantee it will always be uninterrupted.

Warranty and liability

Pausita is provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential damages, and our total liability is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

Nothing in these terms limits consumer rights that the law doesn't allow to be waived.

Suspension

We may suspend accounts that break these terms, for example by sharing the account or bypassing the license. If we suspend an account without a valid reason, we refund the unused part of the subscription.

Changes to these terms

If we make important changes, we'll tell you by email or in the app at least 30 days before they apply. If you don't agree, you can cancel before then.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Colombia, without prejudice to the mandatory consumer protection rules of your country of residence. If a translation differs from the Spanish version, the Spanish version prevails.
