Terms of Use — CycleBalance

1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to CycleBalance. These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the CycleBalance mobile application ("App"), the website at cyclebalance.app ("Website"), and any related services provided by CycleBalance, operated by Huggler Holdings LLC, a Texas limited liability company ("we," "us," or "our"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, or by using the Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App or the Website.

You must be at least 13 years of age to use CycleBalance. If you are under 18, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or any other jurisdiction with a higher minimum digital consent age, you must meet that local minimum age (typically 16) or have parental consent.

2. Description of Service

CycleBalance is an iOS health and wellness application designed specifically for individuals managing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). The App provides the following features:

Cycle Tracking: Tools for tracking irregular menstrual cycles without relying on standard 28-day assumptions.
Symptom Logging: The ability to record and monitor PCOS-related symptoms, including hormonal changes, insulin and glucose levels, dietary impact, and other health markers.
Pregnancy and Postpartum Tracking: Optional tracking for pregnancy and postpartum periods, including estimated due dates and pregnancy outcomes.
HealthKit Integration: Optional read-only access to Apple HealthKit data, including body mass, sleep analysis, blood glucose, active energy, resting heart rate, and step count, to provide a more comprehensive health picture.
On-Device Machine Learning Insights: Personalized pattern recognition and correlations generated entirely on your device using on-device ML, designed to help you better understand your body's unique patterns.
Health Reports and Data Export: PDF health reports for sharing with your healthcare provider, CSV data exports for spreadsheet use, and JSON backups with schema versioning for full data portability.

We may update, modify, or discontinue features of the App at any time without prior notice.

3. Subscriptions and Purchases

CycleBalance offers premium features through the following purchase options:

Auto-Renewable Subscriptions: Premium access is available through auto-renewable subscription plans with monthly or annual billing cycles. Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
Lifetime Purchase: A one-time, non-consumable in-app purchase that grants permanent access to premium features.

All purchases are processed through the Apple App Store. Apple manages billing, payment processing, taxes where applicable, receipts, subscription settings, and refund requests. CycleBalance does not directly collect or store your payment card information.

To manage or cancel a subscription, go to your device's Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you will retain access to premium features until that date.

Your purchase is also subject to the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and any mandatory consumer-protection rights in your country or region.

If your subscription lapses or expires, premium features will become unavailable. Your data will remain on your device, but features requiring a premium subscription will be restricted until you renew or purchase again.

Refund requests must be submitted through Apple because Apple processes App Store transactions. You can start at reportaproblem.apple.com or review Apple's refund instructions. CycleBalance cannot issue App Store refunds directly.
