KickMint Terms of Service

Effective April 20, 2026 · Last updated April 20, 2026

Plain-language summary

You can use KickMint for personal task management. Pay for Pro through Apple if you want AI features beyond the free tier. Do not try to extract our AI model, redistribute the app, or break our sync backend. The app helps you focus, but it is not a doctor, therapist, lawyer, or financial advisor and we make no medical claims. If something goes wrong, our liability is capped at what you paid us in the last year (which may be zero).

This is the binding version, not the summary. If they conflict, the binding version wins.

1. Acceptance

By downloading, installing, opening, or using KickMint ("the App"), or by visiting kick-mint.com ("the Site"), you accept these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not accept, do not use the App or the Site.

Apple's App Store EULA also applies to your use of the App (apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula). Where these Terms are silent and the Apple EULA speaks, the Apple EULA applies.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. If you are under 18 (or under the age of majority in your jurisdiction), you confirm that a parent or guardian has reviewed and consents to these Terms on your behalf.

We do not knowingly accept users under 13. See section 9 of the Privacy Policy.

The App is rated 4+ on the App Store because it has no objectionable content. The 4+ rating is a content rating, not an endorsement that the App is targeted at children. The product is designed for adults with ADHD and similar executive-function differences.

3. License grant

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the App on iOS devices you own or control, in object code form, for your personal, non-commercial purposes. This license is bounded by these Terms and by Apple's App Store Terms of Service.

We do not transfer ownership of the App, the AI model bundled with or downloaded for the App, our trademarks, or our copyrighted material. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

4. Account and sync

The App does not require an account. You can use it offline forever and never authenticate with any server.

If you opt into cross-device sync, the App generates a sync group ID and a sync group secret on your device. You are responsible for keeping the sync group secret safe. If you lose the secret, we cannot recover your sync group. If you intentionally share the secret with another person, you are responsible for what they do with it.

Maximum 5 active devices per sync group (enforced server-side; see sync-worker/src/index.ts handleRegisterDevice).

5. Subscriptions and payments

KickMint Pro is offered as an auto-renewable subscription through the Apple App Store. Apple processes all payments. We do not see your card details, your billing address, or any personal payment information.

The following terms apply to all subscriptions, in addition to Apple's standard subscription terms:

  • Price and term length are disclosed in the App and in the App Store before you confirm purchase.
  • Auto-renewal: subscriptions auto-renew at the end of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date. This is required by Apple's StoreKit policies and disclosed at point of purchase per Apple App Review Guideline 3.1.2.
  • How to cancel: iOS Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions > KickMint > Cancel. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period.
  • Free trials: if a trial is offered, the trial length and the post-trial price are disclosed before purchase. Cancellation during the trial avoids any charge.
  • Refunds: governed by Apple's refund policy. To request a refund, use reportaproblem.apple.com. We do not process refunds directly because we do not process payments directly.
  • California subscribers: consistent with the California Automatic Renewal Law (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code section 17600 et seq., as amended effective July 1, 2025), the auto-renewal terms, the cancellation method, and the recurring charge are presented clearly and conspicuously before purchase. You can cancel at any time using the iOS method described above.
  • EU/UK subscribers: you have a 14-day right of withdrawal under the Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU) and the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, except where you have begun using paid features and consented to the loss of withdrawal as required by Article 16(m). The App will surface this consent at the point of purchase where required by law.

6. Acceptable use

You will not:

  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to extract the source code of the App, except where this restriction is prohibited by applicable law (for example, EU Software Directive 2009/24/EC Article 6 interoperability rights).
  • Extract, copy, redistribute, retrain, fine-tune, sell, or sublicense the on-device Qwen 2.5 1.5B GGUF model file or any derivative of it. The model is licensed for use within KickMint only.
  • Use the App's outputs to train or improve any other model or AI system.
  • Probe, scan, overload, or otherwise attempt to interfere with the sync worker, R2 bucket, or any other infrastructure we operate.
  • Attempt to bypass authentication, rate limits, replay protection, or device-revocation enforcement.
  • Use the App to violate any law that applies to you, or to harass, threaten, or harm any other person.
  • Use the App to provide commercial productivity services to third parties unless you have a separate written agreement with us.
  • Misrepresent your identity to obtain a refund, support, or special access.

7. Intellectual property

We own the App, the Site, our brand, and all trademarks, logos, and copyrighted material associated with KickMint.

Third-party components: the App is built using software components under various open-source licenses. Attribution is available in Settings > About > Open Source Licenses.

You own everything you create in the App: tasks, notes, voice transcripts, project structures, custom focus packs. We do not claim any license to your content. Because your content stays on your device (or is encrypted in our sync backend such that we cannot read it), we have no ability to use it even if we wanted to.

If you provide feedback or suggestions to us, we may use that feedback without obligation to you. This does not extend to your task content.

8. AI disclaimer

KickMint includes AI features that generate task breakdowns, suggested next steps, capture parsing, and similar productivity outputs. The AI is a Qwen 2.5 1.5B model running locally on your device.

You acknowledge and agree:

  • AI outputs are suggestions, not instructions or advice.
  • AI outputs may be incorrect, inappropriate for your situation, or simply unhelpful. Use your own judgment.
  • The AI is not a doctor, therapist, lawyer, accountant, financial advisor, or any other regulated professional.
  • The AI is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition.
  • The AI does not provide medical, mental-health, legal, financial, or tax advice. If you ask the AI a question in one of these domains, the App is designed to refuse or redirect you to a qualified professional. If a generation slips through that guardrail, do not rely on it.
  • Because you have ADHD-relevant features (some users will be neurodivergent and may also be managing co-occurring conditions), we are especially clear: KickMint is not therapy, not a coach, and not a substitute for clinical care. If you are in crisis, contact your local emergency services or a crisis line. In the US, dial or text 988. In the UK, call Samaritans at 116 123. In the EU, dial 112.

You agree to use AI outputs at your own risk. We disclaim all liability for any decision you make based on an AI output, to the extent permitted by law.

9. Health and sensitive information

You may choose to record information in the App that some jurisdictions classify as sensitive personal information, including menstrual cycle phase, sleep quality, and medication timing. This information is stored only on your device and is explicitly excluded from sync (SyncManager.nonSyncableTables includes user_health_context).

Even though we never receive this data, you are responsible for keeping your device secure (passcode, biometric lock, OS up to date) and for backing it up if you wish to (the App offers JSON export).

If you grant the App HealthKit read access, the App reads only what you authorize, uses it locally to inform features (for example, energy check-ins), and never writes it to disk in identifiable form or transmits it.

10. Service availability and changes

We aim for high availability of the sync backend but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Sync is a convenience feature; the App functions fully offline without it.

We may add, change, deprecate, or remove features. For changes that materially reduce features paid users have access to, we will provide reasonable notice (at least 30 days, except for security or legal reasons) and offer a prorated refund for the unused portion of the affected subscription period.

We may update the on-device AI model with a newer version. If the new model materially changes the behavior of paid AI features, we will note it in App release notes.

11. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time and may uninstall it without notice. If you have a subscription, cancellation is via the iOS method described in section 5. Uninstalling does not automatically cancel your subscription.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App, the sync service, or paid features without notice if you materially breach these Terms, attempt to abuse the service, or use the App in a way that harms other users or our infrastructure. We will refund any prepaid amounts attributable to the period after termination, except where termination is due to your breach.

Provisions that by their nature survive termination (sections 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15) survive.

12. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App and the Site are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, statutory or otherwise. We disclaim all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and uninterrupted operation.

We do not warrant that:

  • The App will meet your requirements
  • The App will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or virus-free
  • AI outputs will be accurate, useful, or appropriate for your situation
  • Sync will be available at any particular time, or that historical sync data will be retrievable forever

Some jurisdictions do not allow disclaimer of certain implied warranties. In those jurisdictions, the foregoing disclaimers apply only to the extent permitted by law and your statutory consumer rights are unaffected.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the App, the Site, the AI features, the sync service, or these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for subscriptions in the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD 100.

In no event will we be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, business interruption, or cost of substitute services, whether based on contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other legal theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of certain damages or limitation of liability for personal injury, gross negligence, or fraud. In those jurisdictions, the foregoing limitations apply only to the extent permitted and your statutory rights are unaffected. Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for (i) death or personal injury caused by our negligence, (ii) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or (iii) any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded by applicable law.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless [INSERT LEGAL ENTITY NAME], its officers, employees, and contractors from any claim, demand, loss, or damage, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to (a) your use of the App in violation of these Terms, (b) your violation of any applicable law, (c) your infringement of the rights of any third party, or (d) any content you create in the App and choose to share outside the App.

This indemnification does not apply where prohibited by law (consumer transactions in many jurisdictions).

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of [INSERT GOVERNING LAW JURISDICTION], without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Arbitration and class-action waiver (US users)

Court jurisdiction (non-US users)

For users outside the US, disputes will be heard by the courts of [INSERT JURISDICTION, likely your country/state]. EU consumers may bring claims in the courts of their member state of residence as guaranteed by Brussels I Recast (Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012, Article 18).

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. For changes that materially affect your rights or obligations, we will notify you in-App at least 30 days before the change takes effect, and the change will not apply to subscriptions already in their paid period until the next renewal. For non-material changes (typo fixes, restructuring, clarifications), we may update without prior notice.

If you do not agree to a change, you may stop using the App and cancel your subscription. Continued use after the effective date of a change constitutes acceptance.

17. Miscellaneous

  • Entire agreement: these Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Cookie Policy, and the Apple App Store EULA are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App.
  • Severability: if any provision is found unenforceable, the rest of the Terms remain in effect.
  • No waiver: failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of future enforcement.
  • Assignment: you may not assign these Terms. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all our assets, with notice to you.
  • Force majeure: neither party is liable for failures caused by events beyond reasonable control (natural disasters, war, government action, network outages outside our infrastructure).
  • Notices: legal notices to us must go to legal@kick-mint.com and to [INSERT MAILING ADDRESS]. We may notify you in-App or by other means we choose.
  • No third-party beneficiaries: these Terms create no rights for any third party, except that Apple is an intended third-party beneficiary of the Apple-specific provisions and may enforce them.

18. Apple-specific terms

Per the Apple App Store guidelines, you acknowledge:

  • These Terms are between you and us, not between you and Apple. We are solely responsible for the App and its content.
  • Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App.
  • If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.
  • We are responsible for addressing any product or intellectual-property claims related to the App.
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
