Terms of Use

1. Acceptance and definitions

These Terms of Use ("Terms") form a binding contract between you and PileaNova SAS ("we", "us", "PileaNova"), the publisher of UnSit. By downloading, installing, or using the UnSit app or this website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use UnSit.

For clarity:

• "App" or "UnSit" refers to the UnSit software for macOS, iOS, and watchOS, distributed through the Apple App Store.
• "Website" refers to the site at https://unsit.me and its subpages.
• "Premium" refers to the paid features unlocked by a Monthly, Yearly, or Lifetime in-app purchase.
• "You" or "User" refers to anyone who installs or uses the App, or visits the Website.
• "Content" includes the App's source code, design, mascot, text, science fact library, audio, video, and all other materials we publish.

2. No account required (anonymity by design)

UnSit does not require account creation. There is no signup, no password, no login. You can use the App fully anonymously. Your only identification to us — if any — is the Apple ID-derived subscription status managed by Apple's StoreKit, which we read to determine your Premium entitlement.

You are responsible for the security of the device on which UnSit is installed and for your Apple ID credentials.

3. License grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the App on any compatible Apple device that you own or control, for personal, non-commercial purposes only.

This license is granted under the same scope and terms as Apple's Standard End User License Agreement (EULA), which is hereby incorporated by reference.

Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of any intellectual property to you. You receive a license to use, not the underlying rights.

4. Apple's EULA

UnSit is distributed through the Apple App Store. Apple's Standard EULA applies to the App in addition to these Terms. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and Apple's EULA on consumer-protection or warranty matters, the more user-favorable provision prevails. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms with respect to the App, and may enforce them against you.

5. Acceptable use — what you cannot do

You agree not to:

• Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the App, except to the extent permitted by mandatory provisions of French and EU law (in particular Article L122-6-1 of the French Code de la propriété intellectuelle for interoperability)
• Modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the App or its Content
• Redistribute, sublicense, lease, rent, sell, or otherwise transfer the App or any part of it
• Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice
• Use the App in connection with any unlawful, fraudulent, harmful, or abusive activity
• Use automated means (bots, scrapers, crawlers) to interact with the App or Website beyond reasonable, respectful crawling for indexing purposes
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the App's infrastructure (which is minimal: no backend with user data exists)
• Circumvent any technical protection measure, paywall, or rate limit
• Use the App in a way that interferes with other users or imposes unreasonable load on Apple's or our subprocessors' infrastructure
• Resell, repackage, or wrap the App in any other commercial offering without our prior written consent

Violation of this section may result in immediate termination of your license without refund (subject to Section 9 below) and may give rise to civil and/or criminal liability under applicable law.

6. Subscriptions, in-app purchases, and pricing

UnSit offers a free tier and three Premium options:

• Monthly subscription (€2.99/month, auto-renewing)
• Yearly subscription (€19.99/year, auto-renewing)
• Lifetime (€29.99 one-time, non-recurring)

All purchases are processed by Apple via the App Store. We do not collect, store, or process your payment details directly.

Prices are displayed in EUR for European users; Apple may convert to your local currency at the point of sale. Local taxes (VAT, sales tax) are applied per Apple's tax engine.

Prices are subject to change. Existing subscribers will not be billed at a higher price without prior notice. For changes affecting an active subscription, Apple will request your re-confirmation per its policies.

7. Auto-renewal disclosure (Monthly & Yearly subscriptions)

Per Apple's subscription rules and applicable EU consumer law (Directive 2011/83/EU and Directive 2019/770/EU on the supply of digital content):

• Auto-renewal: Monthly and Yearly subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Renewal billing: Apple charges your Apple ID payment method for the renewal at the same price (or at a new price after explicit re-confirmation).
• How to cancel: open your device's Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions → UnSit and select "Cancel". Cancellation is effective at the end of the current paid period — you keep access until then.
• No mid-cycle prorated refunds. Refund decisions are made by Apple, not by us.
• Lifetime is not a subscription — it is a single, non-recurring purchase. No further charges.

8. Right of withdrawal — 14-day cooling-off period

Under Article L221-18 of the French Code de la consommation (transposing EU Directive 2011/83/EU), consumers in the European Union normally have a 14-day right of withdrawal from a contract concluded at distance, without giving any reason and without penalty.

For digital content delivered immediately upon purchase, this right is waived as soon as the content is downloaded and used, per Article L221-28-13° of the French Code de la consommation. By starting to use UnSit immediately after purchase, you expressly consent to the waiver of your withdrawal right and acknowledge the corresponding loss of this right.

If you have not yet used UnSit, you may exercise your right of withdrawal within 14 calendar days of purchase by contacting Apple support directly at reportaproblem.apple.com. Apple processes all refund requests for App Store purchases.

9. Refunds

Refunds are handled exclusively by Apple. To request a refund:

1. Visit reportaproblem.apple.com
2. Sign in with the Apple ID used for the purchase
3. Find your UnSit purchase and select "Request a refund"

Apple decides all refund requests at its sole discretion. We are not a party to that decision. We can, however, advocate on your behalf if you reasonably believe a refund was wrongly denied — email support@unsit.me.

10. Intellectual property

All Content — including the App's source code, the heart mascot character ("Pumpies"), the science fact library (64 facts and counting), the brand name "UnSit", the logo, the Cabinet Grotesk and Satoshi font implementations on this site, the visual design, and all marketing copy — is owned by PileaNova SAS or its licensors and protected by French and international copyright, trademark, and design rights.

These Terms grant you a license to use, not to redistribute, repurpose, or create derivative works. You may not use the UnSit brand, mascot, or marketing copy in your own materials without our prior written consent. Press and editorial use of the brand and mascot for fair-use commentary, news, or review is permitted.

We respect the intellectual property of others. If you believe content on UnSit infringes your copyright, contact support@unsit.me with: a description of the work, the location of the alleged infringement, your contact info, and a statement of good faith.

11. User-generated content (notes feature)

UnSit's break overlay includes an optional "notes" field where you can type a short reflection on each break (Premium feature). These notes are stored locally on your device and synced via iCloud only — we never see them.

You retain full ownership of any content you create in the notes field. Because we have no access to it, we cannot use, share, or commercialize it. You are solely responsible for what you write.

12. Beta and preview features

From time to time, we may release "beta", "preview", or "experimental" features. These are provided as-is for testing purposes, may contain bugs, may be modified, removed, or made unavailable at any time without notice, and are not subject to the same stability or warranty expectations as the rest of the App. By using a beta feature, you accept these conditions.

13. Health disclaimer

UnSit is informational and motivational software, not medical advice. The exercises (squats, walking, stretching, standing), the science fact library, and the statistics displayed in the App are general educational content based on peer-reviewed research. They are population-level statistical averages, not predictions about your individual health, diagnoses, or treatment recommendations.

Consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting any new exercise routine, particularly if you have:

• any cardiovascular condition (high blood pressure, heart disease, arrhythmia)
• joint problems, osteoarthritis, prior knee or hip surgery, herniated disc
• recent or unhealed injuries
• are pregnant or postpartum
• any chronic condition (diabetes, autoimmune disease, etc.)
• any medical concern, regardless of how minor

Squats and other exercises performed without adequate technique can cause injury. You assume all risks associated with the exercises you choose to perform. PileaNova SAS shall not be held liable for any injury, health outcome, or medical decision resulting from your use of UnSit.

UnSit's "heart mascot level" is a gamification feature for personal motivation — it has no medical, diagnostic, or prognostic value.

14. Warranty disclaimer — "AS IS"

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APP AND THE WEBSITE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR UNINTERRUPTED OPERATION.

We do not warrant that:

• the App will meet your specific requirements or expectations
• the App will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free
• any information obtained through the App will be accurate or reliable for your individual circumstances
• any defects in the App will be corrected on any specific timeline

Note for European consumers: the disclaimers above do not exclude or limit your rights under the EU Sale of Goods Directive 2019/771/EU and the Digital Content Directive 2019/770/EU, which provide a 2-year legal guarantee of conformity. These statutory rights remain available regardless of the contractual disclaimer.

15. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, PileaNova SAS, its officers, employees, agents, and licensors shall not be liable for any:

• indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages
• loss of profits, revenue, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses
• damages resulting from your use or inability to use the App
• damages resulting from any unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data
• damages resulting from any health outcome, injury, or medical condition

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with your use of the App, regardless of the cause of action (whether in contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise), shall not exceed the greater of: (a) the amount you paid us for the App in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) €50.

Note for European consumers: the limitations above do not exclude or limit liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under French law (notably under Article 1231-3 of the French Code civil).

16. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless PileaNova SAS, its officers, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:

• your violation of these Terms
• your violation of any applicable law or third-party right (including intellectual property)
• your misuse of the App, including any prohibited use under Section 5
• any content you generate or transmit while using the App (e.g., notes feature)

We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense of such matter.

17. Force majeure

Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance under these Terms (other than payment obligations) caused by circumstances beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, riot, civil unrest, government action, pandemic, labor dispute, internet outage, failure of upstream service providers (Apple, Cloudflare, Plausible), or attacks on infrastructure (DDoS, ransomware).

18. Termination

These Terms remain in effect until terminated.

You may terminate at any time by uninstalling the App. If you have an active subscription, you must also cancel it through Apple to stop further billing.

We may terminate or suspend your access to the App immediately, without prior notice, if you violate these Terms — particularly Section 5 (Acceptable use). On termination by us for cause, we may, at our discretion, request that Apple revoke your Premium entitlement; however, refund decisions remain with Apple.

Upon termination, the license granted in Section 3 ends. Sections 10 (IP), 13-16 (warranty, liability, indemnification), 17 (force majeure), 19 (severability), and 22 (governing law) survive termination.

19. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that comes closest to the original intent.

20. Entire agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Apple's Standard EULA, constitute the entire agreement between you and PileaNova SAS regarding your use of the App and Website. They supersede any prior agreements, communications, or representations.

21. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights hereunder without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, with notice to you via the App or Website.

Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section is void.

22. Third-party links and services

The App and Website may contain links to third-party websites or services (e.g., PubMed for science citations, Apple's reportaproblem.apple.com for refunds, Apple App Store for downloads). These third-party services are not under our control. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of use of any third-party website or service. Linking does not imply endorsement.

23. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of France, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.

For consumer disputes within the EU: per Article 17 of EU Regulation 1215/2012 (Brussels I bis), as a consumer you may bring proceedings against us either before the courts of the country of your residence or the French courts. We may bring proceedings against you only before the courts of your country of residence.

For non-consumer disputes (B2B): the courts of Paris, France shall have exclusive jurisdiction.

Online dispute resolution: as a French consumer, you have access to the European Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. Per Article L612-1 of the French Code de la consommation, you may also contact the French consumer mediator Médiation de la consommation – CNPM (CNPM Médiation Consommation) at cnpm-mediation-consommation.eu, free of charge, before initiating court proceedings.

24. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent change. For material changes (changes affecting your rights or our obligations), we will:

• display an in-app notice on next launch
• publish a summary of the changes on this page
• where legally required, request your renewed acceptance

Your continued use of the App after the effective date of an update constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, your remedy is to uninstall the App and (if applicable) cancel your subscription.
