Terms of Use

Effective: June 2, 2026 · v2.1

PLEASE READ. SECTION 18 (BINDING ARBITRATION + CLASS-ACTION WAIVER) AND SECTION 12 (LIABILITY CAP) MATERIALLY LIMIT YOUR RIGHTS. SECTION 7 (HEALTH & WELLNESS) WARNS YOU NOT TO USE THIS APP AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL OR FITNESS ADVICE.

1. Acceptance

By downloading, installing, accessing, registering for, or otherwise using the Pulse mobile application, websites, APIs, or any related service (collectively, the "Service"), you ("User," "you," "your") agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Use (the "Terms"). If you do not agree to every provision, do not access or use the Service. If you accept these Terms on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" includes that organization. These Terms incorporate by reference our Privacy Policy, any in-Service notices, and (for paid subscriptions) the applicable order or pricing page in effect at the time of purchase.

2. Eligibility & Account Registration

You must be at least 13 years old (or the higher minimum age required by the laws of your country of residence — e.g., 14 in Spain, Italy, Bulgaria; 15 in Czechia, France, Greece, Slovenia; 16 in Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Romania, Croatia, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia; 18 elsewhere if so required) to create an account. To enter a paid subscription you must be 18 (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction). You must provide truthful, current, accurate information and keep it updated. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for all activity under your account. We may refuse, suspend, or terminate any account at our sole discretion.

3. Description of the Service

Pulse is a personal-productivity application that uses third-party large-language models and image-analysis models to generate goal roadmaps ("Pulses"), text coaching, and (where you opt in) photo-based progress analysis. The Service is offered for personal, non-commercial use only and is not certified, supervised, or endorsed by any medical, fitness, mental-health, financial, legal, educational, or regulatory body. The Service is provided on a subscription or free-tier basis and may change at any time.

4. AI Output — Informational Only, Not Professional Advice

All output generated by the Service — including but not limited to goal roadmaps, individual Pulses, coaching messages, probability scores, coach chat, photo analysis, quizzes, transformation predictions, and recommended habits — is produced algorithmically by third-party AI systems and is provided "AS-IS" for general informational, educational, motivational, and entertainment purposes only. AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, biased, offensive, or harmful. AI output is NOT, and you must not rely on it as, medical, mental-health, psychiatric, psychological, nutritional, dietary, fitness, athletic-training, legal, tax, accounting, financial, investment, vocational, educational, or other professional advice. Always consult a duly licensed and qualified professional before acting on any AI output. Use of the Service for any health, fitness, financial, legal, or safety-related decision is at your sole risk.

5. Subscriptions, Trials, Auto-Renewal & Cancellation

Paid subscriptions auto-renew at the then-current price for the same subscription period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Billing is processed exclusively by Apple (via your Apple ID); we do not directly process payments. To manage or cancel your subscription, open your iOS Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions; deleting the App alone does not cancel a subscription. Free trials, if offered, automatically convert to paid subscriptions unless cancelled before trial end. Prices may change for future billing periods; any material price change will be disclosed before it takes effect for your subscription. Refunds are governed by Apple's Media Services Terms — we cannot process refunds directly. CALIFORNIA AUTOMATIC RENEWAL LAW (BPC § 17600 et seq.) NOTICE: You may cancel any auto-renewing subscription at any time through your Apple ID Settings; a renewal reminder is sent by Apple before each billing cycle for annual subscriptions; this entire Section constitutes the required clear and conspicuous disclosure under California, New York GBL § 527-a, Oregon, Vermont, and similar statutes.

6. User Content & License Grant

You retain ownership of all content you submit to the Service, including goal titles, descriptions, deadlines, motivation levels, obstacles, free-text notes, photos, and coach-chat messages ("User Content"). By submitting User Content you grant Pulse and our service providers a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, sublicensable, transferable license to host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works of, transmit, distribute, perform, and display that User Content solely for purposes of operating, providing, improving, and securing the Service — including (a) transmitting it to third-party AI inference providers for processing; (b) backing it up to cloud storage; (c) using anonymized and de-identified versions for product improvement and model evaluation; (d) enforcing these Terms. You represent and warrant that you own or have all rights, licenses, and permissions necessary to grant the foregoing license and that your User Content does not infringe, misappropriate, or violate any third-party right or applicable law. This license survives termination of these Terms for any anonymized/de-identified derivatives already created.

7. Health, Wellness & Fitness Disclaimer

PULSE IS NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE, NOT A HEALTHCARE PROVIDER, NOT A LICENSED DIETICIAN, AND NOT A FITNESS COACH. We do not diagnose, treat, cure, monitor, mitigate, or prevent any disease, condition, or health concern. Goal roadmaps in any category — including but not limited to fitness, running, weight loss, weightlifting, nutrition, sleep, meditation, mental wellbeing, and substance moderation — are AI-generated suggestions that may be inappropriate for your individual circumstances, medical history, medications, allergies, injuries, or risk factors. Consult a licensed physician before starting, modifying, or stopping any fitness, diet, supplement, sleep, or mental-health regimen. If you experience pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pressure, fainting, persistent fatigue, mood deterioration, suicidal ideation, or any other concerning symptom, stop immediately and seek qualified medical attention. By using the Service you accept all risk of bodily injury, illness, or death arising from acting on AI output. THE PRECEDING SENTENCE IS NOT INTENDED TO EXCLUDE LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY OUR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT WHERE SUCH EXCLUSION IS PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW (e.g., UK CRA 2015, Australian Consumer Law).

8. Photo, Biometric & Sensitive Data

If you use the Photo Transformation feature or attach photos as proof, those images are transmitted to a third-party AI inference provider for processing in transient memory and are not retained on our servers after the response is returned to your device. WE DO NOT KNOWINGLY COLLECT, USE, STORE, OR DISCLOSE BIOMETRIC IDENTIFIERS OR BIOMETRIC INFORMATION as defined under the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (740 ILCS 14), the Texas Capture or Use of Biometric Identifier Act (Bus. & Com. Code § 503.001), the Washington Biometric Privacy Act (RCW 19.375), or analogous laws. We do not extract face geometry, fingerprints, retina or iris scans, voiceprints, or hand or face geometric data for identification. If you reside in Illinois, Texas, or Washington, you may withhold photo features entirely — they are optional. By uploading a photo you separately confirm informed, written consent to such transient AI processing, you authorize the foregoing third-party transmission for that limited purpose, and you waive any right to assert a BIPA, CUBI, or comparable claim against Pulse based solely on transient AI inference processing.

9. Acceptable Use & Prohibited Conduct

You agree NOT to: (a) use the Service for any unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, or harmful purpose; (b) submit content that is defamatory, obscene, hateful, harassing, threatening, sexually explicit involving minors, infringing, or that incites violence, self-harm, or terrorism; (c) attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, decrypt, or otherwise derive the source code of the Service except to the extent expressly permitted by mandatory law (e.g., EU Software Directive 2009/24/EC Art. 5(3)/6); (d) probe, scan, or test the Service for vulnerabilities, except via our published responsible-disclosure channel; (e) access or use the Service via automated means, scrapers, bots, or unauthorized third-party clients; (f) impersonate any person or entity; (g) interfere with, overload, or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure; (h) bypass or attempt to bypass any access control, rate limit, or security feature; (i) resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service; (j) use the Service or its output to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or benchmark a competing AI model or product, or to create a substantially similar product; (k) use the Service in violation of US, EU, UK, or other applicable export-control or sanctions law; (l) send unsolicited commercial messages via the Service, in violation of CAN-SPAM, CASL, Australian Spam Act 2003, EU ePrivacy Directive, or analogous law. Violations may result in immediate suspension, account termination, deletion of User Content, referral to law enforcement, and any other remedy at law or equity.

10. Intellectual Property

The Service, including the name "Pulse," the logo, the visual design system, source code, models, prompts, documentation, and all other materials (excluding User Content), is owned by Pulse or its licensors and is protected by US, EU, UK, and international copyright, trademark, trade-secret, patent, and other intellectual-property laws. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use one copy of the App on devices you own or control, solely for personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE NON-WAIVABLE LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS-IS" AND "AS-AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS, AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, SYSTEM INTEGRATION, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR TRADE USAGE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT AI OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. FOR EU/UK/AUSTRALIAN/NEW ZEALAND CONSUMERS: nothing in this Section limits non-excludable consumer guarantees under the EU Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU, UK Consumer Rights Act 2015, Australian Consumer Law (Sch. 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010), or NZ Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 — to the extent those laws apply you have remedies that cannot be excluded by contract.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL PULSE, ITS AFFILIATES, OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR ENHANCED DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR PERSONAL INJURY OR ILLNESS RESULTING FROM AI OUTPUT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTE, OR OTHERWISE). OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (i) THE TOTAL AMOUNTS YOU PAID US (OR APPLE ON YOUR BEHALF) FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY, OR (ii) FIFTY US DOLLARS (USD $50). THIS CAP APPLIES IN THE AGGREGATE, NOT PER CLAIM. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES; IN THOSE JURISDICTIONS THIS LIMITATION APPLIES ONLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AND DOES NOT EXCLUDE LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT, FOR FRAUD, FOR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION, OR FOR ANY OTHER LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Pulse, its affiliates, and their officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any and all third-party claims, demands, actions, investigations, damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) arising out of or related to: (a) your use or misuse of the Service; (b) your breach of these Terms or any law; (c) your User Content, including any claim that it infringes or violates a third-party right; (d) your reliance on any AI output; (e) any health, fitness, financial, legal, or other action you take based on the Service. We may assume exclusive control of the defense and settlement of any indemnified claim, and you agree to cooperate fully and not to settle any claim without our prior written consent.

14. Termination

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Service, with or without notice, at any time, for any reason or no reason, including for breach of these Terms. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time via Profile → Your Data → Delete Account. Upon termination: your license to use the Service ends; we may delete your User Content (subject to backup retention windows); Sections 4, 6 (sublicensable license), 7, 8, 10–13, 15, 18–24 survive. Termination does not entitle you to any refund of pre-paid fees except where mandatory consumer law requires otherwise.

15. Modifications to the Service & to These Terms

We may modify, suspend, replace, or discontinue all or any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice, and without liability to you. We may revise these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be disclosed in-App with a revised "Effective" date; your continued use of the Service after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to revised Terms, you must stop using the Service.

16. Privacy & Data Processing

Our collection, use, disclosure, and protection of personal information is described in the Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of these Terms. By using the Service you also agree to the Privacy Policy.

17. Export Compliance, Sanctions, U.S. Government Users

You may not use, export, re-export, transfer, or release the Service in violation of any applicable export-control or sanctions law of the United States (including OFAC regulations), the United Kingdom, the European Union, or any other competent jurisdiction. You represent that you are not located in, organized under the laws of, or ordinarily a resident of, any country or region subject to comprehensive sanctions (currently including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine), and that you are not on any U.S. or EU restricted-party list. The Service is a "commercial item" within 48 C.F.R. § 2.101; U.S. Government end-users acquire the Service with only those rights herein.

18. Binding Arbitration & Class-Action Waiver (US & Canada Residents)

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BELOW, YOU AND PULSE AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE SERVICE, OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN US (a "Dispute") shall be resolved exclusively by FINAL AND BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION administered by JAMS pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules. The seat of arbitration shall be San Francisco County, California. The arbitration shall be conducted in English by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any threshold issue of arbitrability, including scope, formation, enforceability, and unconscionability. YOU AND PULSE EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. YOU AND PULSE EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, MASS ARBITRATION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims of more than one person and may not preside over any form of representative proceeding. CARVE-OUTS: either party may (a) bring an individual claim in small-claims court, or (b) seek injunctive relief in court for actual or threatened infringement of intellectual-property rights. THIRTY-DAY OPT-OUT: you may opt out of this Section 18 by emailing meir56885@gmail.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, including your full name, email used to register, and a clear statement of intent to opt out; opting out does not affect any other provision. If the class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to any claim or remedy, that claim shall proceed in court but the rest of this Section shall remain in effect. NOT APPLICABLE TO EU/UK/SWITZERLAND/AUSTRALIA/NEW ZEALAND RESIDENTS: this Section 18 does not apply to consumers domiciled in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Australia, or New Zealand, who retain access to their local consumer-protection courts and remedies that cannot be waived by contract.

19. Governing Law & Venue

These Terms are governed by the substantive laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, except where overridden by mandatory consumer-protection law of your country of residence. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. To the extent any Dispute is not subject to arbitration under Section 18, the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in San Francisco County, California — except that (i) EU consumers may bring proceedings in the courts of their EU country of habitual residence, (ii) UK consumers may bring proceedings in the courts of England, Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland as applicable to their residence, (iii) Brazilian consumers may bring proceedings in the courts of their domicile under the Brazilian Consumer Defense Code (Law 8,078/90), (iv) Australian consumers may rely on the non-excludable rights of the Australian Consumer Law, and (v) consumers in other jurisdictions may rely on the non-excludable rights of their local consumer-protection law.

20. Force Majeure

We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance of these Terms to the extent caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, embargo, sanction, pandemic, epidemic, natural disaster, internet or telecommunications outage, hardware failure, third-party service-provider failure, AI inference provider outage, denial-of-service attack, or labor dispute.

21. Severability, Waiver, Headings, and Interpretation

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision shall not constitute a waiver. Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation. The words "include" and "including" are non-exhaustive. These Terms have been drafted in English; any translation is provided for convenience only and the English text controls in the event of conflict.

22. Entire Agreement, Assignment, Notices, and No Third-Party Beneficiaries

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any in-Service or order-form notices, constitute the entire agreement between you and Pulse regarding the Service and supersede all prior written or oral agreements. You may not assign or transfer these Terms; any attempted assignment in violation of this Section is void. We may assign these Terms to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of substantially all assets, or similar transaction. Notices to you may be delivered via the Service or to the email address on your account. Apple, Inc. and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms for the limited purposes set forth in Section 25 (Apple App Store Addendum); otherwise these Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights.

23. DMCA — Copyright Complaints

If you are a copyright owner or authorized agent and believe that material in the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice meeting the requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to our designated DMCA Agent at meir56885@gmail.com. We have a policy of terminating accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. Counter-notices may be sent to the same address.

24. Government & Industry-Specific Compliance

If you are subject to HIPAA (US health), GLBA (US finance), FERPA (US education), PCI-DSS, FedRAMP, ITAR, EAR, or any other regulated regime, you are responsible for ensuring your use of the Service complies with those obligations — we are not a HIPAA business associate, are not a PCI-compliant processor, and the Service is not authorized for processing protected health information, federal-tax information, or other regulated data.

25. Apple App Store Addendum (REQUIRED)

If you obtained the App through the Apple App Store, the following terms apply between you and Apple, Inc. ("Apple"): (a) these Terms are between you and Pulse only, not with Apple; Pulse alone is responsible for the App and its content; (b) the license granted in Section 10 is limited to use of the App on Apple-branded products you own or control, as permitted by Apple's Media Services Terms; (c) Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support; (d) in the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation; any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses are the sole responsibility of Pulse; (e) Pulse is responsible for addressing any product or third-party claims relating to the App; (f) in the event of any third-party intellectual-property infringement claim relating to the App, Pulse (not Apple) is solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of that claim; (g) you represent that you are not in a U.S.-embargoed country and are not on any U.S. or EU restricted-party list; (h) Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them as related to your use of the App.
