Terms of Service

Last updated: 2 July 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Focus Valley website, desktop application, and related services (together, the "Service"), provided by Filippo Pelloia operating as Focus Valley ("we", "us", "our"). By creating an account, purchasing a plan, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Who we are

The Service is operated by Filippo Pelloia (Focus Valley). For any question about these Terms, contact support@focus-valley.com.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 16 years old (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction) to use the Service. You are responsible for the activity on your account and for keeping access to your email secure, since sign-in uses a link sent to your address. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it up to date.

3. The Service

Focus Valley is a desktop Pomodoro tool that tracks focused work time and places users on a leaderboard. Free features and paid "Pro" features may change over time. We may add, modify, or remove features, and we may impose limits or discontinue parts of the Service, at our discretion.

To measure active focus, the desktop app checks your idle time locally, that is, how many seconds have passed since your last input. It does not log keystrokes or the content of what you type or click, and this detection happens on your device.

4. Plans, billing and payments

Paid plans are sold through our payment provider, Lemon Squeezy, which acts as merchant of record and processes your payment. Subscriptions (monthly) renew automatically at the then-current price until cancelled. The lifetime plan is a one-time payment for continued access to Pro features under these Terms. Prices are shown at checkout and may change for future purchases; early-bird pricing, where offered, applies only while available and under the conditions stated at purchase.

5. Renewals and cancellation

You can cancel a subscription at any time; access continues until the end of the current billing period, after which it will not renew. You are responsible for cancelling before a renewal date to avoid the next charge. Lifetime purchases are not recurring and are not cancelled.

6. Refunds

For a first purchase, if the app does not work for you or does not meet your expectations, you can request a full refund within 14 days of that purchase by emailing support@focus-valley.com. Subscription renewals that have already been charged are non-refundable; to avoid a renewal charge, cancel before the renewal date. Consumers in the EEA/UK may have a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal for digital content, which may not apply once you start using the content after expressly agreeing to immediate access. Refunds are processed together with Lemon Squeezy according to their procedures.

7. License and acceptable use

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service. You agree not to misuse it, including: reverse engineering or circumventing licensing or access controls; manipulating focus tracking, points, or leaderboard rankings by automated or fraudulent means; sharing paid access with others; disrupting or attacking the Service; or using it in violation of law.

8. Fair play and leaderboards

The leaderboard depends on honest use. We may adjust scores, reset rankings, or suspend accounts that we reasonably believe are cheating, botting, or otherwise gaming the system, without refund.

9. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, branding, and content, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not transfer any ownership to you.

10. Third-party services

We rely on third parties such as Supabase (database and authentication), Lemon Squeezy (payments), and our email provider. Your use of the Service may be subject to their terms, and we are not responsible for third-party services.

11. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that data will always be preserved.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for lost data or profits. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. Nothing limits liability that cannot be excluded by law.

13. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms or if we discontinue the Service. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time and will revise the date above. Material changes may be communicated by email or in the app where appropriate. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Italy, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, unless mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence apply. Nothing here removes protections you are entitled to as a consumer under local law.
