You may not reproduce, republish, or distribute any part of the Services without our prior written consent, except as permitted by applicable law.

7. Changes to the Services

We are continually improving the App, so features may change, be added or be removed over time. While we work hard to keep the Services available and accurate, we make no guarantees about their uninterrupted availability, accuracy, or completeness.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time, with or without notice. We will aim to provide reasonable notice of material changes where possible.

8. Disclaimers

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

The Services are designed to support productivity and wellbeing but are not a substitute for professional medical, psychological, or therapeutic advice. If you have concerns about your health, please seek advice from a qualified professional.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Ascendant Ventures Ltd shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from these Terms or the Services shall not exceed the amount you have paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or £50, whichever is greater.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by English law.

10. Third-Party Links and Services

The Services may contain links to third-party websites or integrate with third-party services. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of any third-party services. Your use of third-party services is at your own risk and subject to their own terms.

11. Termination

You may stop using the Services at any time. You may delete your account through the App settings, which will result in the deletion of your personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services if you breach these Terms, or for any other reason at our discretion, with or without notice. Upon termination, the licences granted to you under these Terms will end immediately.
