Terms of Service

Last updated: September 19, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Sprout. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Sprout mobile application, website, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

2. Service Provider

The Service is operated by Pablo Galve, a sole trader based in Austria, reachable at support@the-sprout.app. The full legal details, including the postal address, are listed in the Impressum.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old, or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction, to create an account and use the Service. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and credentials.

4. Description of the Service

Sprout is a productivity and habit-building application that helps users manage focus sessions, habits, goals, and related activities. Section 11 describes how the Service may change or end.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Violate any applicable law or regulation.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service.
• Interfere with the operation or security of the Service.
• Reverse engineer, copy, or distribute the Service except where permitted by law.
• Use the Service for fraudulent or abusive purposes.

6. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, design, trademarks, branding, content, and features, is owned by the Service Provider and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. These Terms grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for personal use.

7. Availability

The Service is provided on a best-effort basis. We do not guarantee that the Service will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

8. Disclaimer

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." Sprout is intended as a productivity aid only. We do not guarantee any specific results, improvements in productivity, habit formation, wellbeing, academic performance, professional performance, or other outcomes.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service Provider shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from the use of the Service. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability where exclusion is prohibited by applicable law.

10. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access to the Service if you violate these Terms or misuse the Service.

11. Changes to the Service

We may add, modify, or remove features to improve the Service or keep it working, as long as the change is reasonable for you and does not take away features you have already paid for.

If we decide to discontinue the Service or a paid feature, we will announce it in the app at least 30 days in advance and stop selling new subscriptions and lifetime purchases. Paid features will keep working until the end of any subscription period you have already paid for; if that is not possible, you will receive a refund for the unused part of that period. A lifetime purchase gives access for as long as the Service is offered. Your statutory rights as a consumer remain unaffected.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will inform you of material changes in the app at least 30 days before they take effect. If you do not agree, you can stop using the Service and cancel your subscription before the changes take effect. Changes to the price or to the features of a subscription you have already paid for apply to you only if you agree to them.

13. Premium Subscriptions and Payments

Sprout offers an optional paid tier ("Sprout Premium") through monthly and yearly auto-renewing subscriptions and a one-time lifetime purchase. Purchases are processed by the Apple App Store on iOS and by Google Play Billing on Android, and entitlements are managed through RevenueCat.

• Prices are shown in the app before purchase and may include applicable taxes.
• Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period at the then-current price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel subscriptions, or turn off auto-renewal, in your Apple ID account settings or your Google Play account settings. The lifetime option is a single, non-recurring purchase.
• Payment is charged to your Apple ID account or Google Play account on confirmation of purchase and on each renewal.
• Where a free trial is offered, any unused portion of a free trial period is forfeited when you purchase a subscription to that content, where applicable.
• Refunds are handled according to Apple's or Google's policies and applicable consumer law. Where required by law, EU and Austrian statutory withdrawal and consumer rights for digital content remain unaffected.

On iOS, the app itself is licensed to you under Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement, available at apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula.

14. Free Unlock Options

You may also unlock premium features without paying by completing an optional survey (granting time-limited premium access), or by earning rewards through the referral program described below. These options require a signed-in account and are provided on a best-effort basis. We may limit, rate-limit, change, or remove them at any time. Abusing these options — including fraudulent or automated referrals or survey completions — may result in the revocation of granted access.

14a. Referral Program

Signed-in users receive a personal referral code and invite link they can share. The referral program works as follows:

• When a new user redeems your referral code, they receive a time-limited premium unlock. When that user later makes their first premium purchase, you receive a time-limited premium unlock as the inviter. The current reward durations are shown in the app.
• Each account can redeem one referral code, and rewards are limited to a maximum number of successful referrals per inviter, as shown in the app.
• Referral rewards have no cash value, are non-transferable, cannot be exchanged or refunded, and expire with account deletion. Time-limited unlocks that were already granted remain active until their expiry.
• Redeeming your own code, creating multiple accounts to trigger rewards, or otherwise manipulating the program is prohibited and may result in the revocation of granted access under Section 14.
• We may modify, suspend, or terminate the referral program at any time.

15. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of Austria, excluding conflict-of-law rules. Mandatory consumer protection rights under applicable law remain unaffected.
