Terms and conditions
1 Scope and provider
These terms govern the use of the nowa app and this website. The provider is Florian Wagner, who runs nowa as a private individual, 13 rue du Temple, 68300 Saint-Louis, France. Deviating terms apply only where we agree to them in writing.
2 Subject of the service
nowa provides guided breathing exercises, an overview of your sessions as a year tree, and the export of that tree as an art print file. The free version includes three techniques and the year tree. nowa COMPLETE is a one-time purchase and permanently unlocks all techniques, the control pause, custom exercises, the breathing pace, the mood question before and after each exercise, soundscapes and the art print file; the first month of nowa Duet is included. nowa Duet is a separate subscription, monthly or yearly, because it provides a real-time connection between two people. One subscription also entitles the invited person to take part free of charge for as long as it runs.
We continue to develop nowa. Features may be added, changed or removed; the core of the paid service is preserved. If a material feature is permanently discontinued, you may terminate for cause.
3 Conclusion of contract and account
The contract for free use is concluded upon installation. An account is optional and only needed if you want to see the same tree on several devices. You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and must provide truthful information.
4 One-time purchase, subscription, cancellation
nowa COMPLETE is a one-time purchase through the App Store or Google Play. The purchase is tied to your store account and can be unlocked again on other devices via “Restore purchases”; there is no term and nothing to cancel.
nowa Duet is billed as a monthly or yearly subscription through the same store and renews automatically for the chosen term unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it expires. Where the store offers a free first week, billing begins only after it ends. Cancellation happens in the subscription settings of your store account — not with us; we have no access there. After expiry your sessions, tree and all COMPLETE features remain; only the duet is locked.
5 Prices
The prices shown in the store apply, including statutory taxes. We announce price changes with reasonable notice; they take effect from the next renewal, and you may cancel beforehand.
6 Right of withdrawal
Consumers have a 14-day right of withdrawal. For digital content it lapses once we have begun performance and you have expressly agreed to this and acknowledged that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal. Purchases through the App Store or Google Play are additionally subject to the respective provider’s refund rules; refund requests are made there.
7 Rights of use
You receive a simple, non-transferable right to use nowa for your own private purposes. Reverse engineering, circumventing technical restrictions, automated bulk access and sharing credentials are not permitted.
The year print you generate is yours. You may print it, hang it, give it away and show it on social media. Commercial resale of the template, the generator or products derived from them is not permitted.
8 Health notice
nowa is not a medical device and does not replace medical treatment. If you have cardiovascular disease, epilepsy, asthma or other respiratory conditions, anxiety or panic disorders, low blood pressure, or if you are pregnant, seek medical advice before use. Never practise in or near water, while driving, or while operating machinery. Stop if you feel dizzy or unwell.
9 Availability
The exercises run offline. Account, syncing and the duet require a connection and may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance or faults. We do not guarantee any particular level of availability but aim to schedule maintenance at times of low use.
10 Liability
We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, and for injury to life, body or health. In cases of simple negligence we are liable only for breach of material contractual obligations and limited to foreseeable damage typical of the contract. For loss of data we are liable only to the extent that would have arisen with proper backups. Statutory consumer rights are unaffected.
11 Changes to these terms
We may amend these terms where there is a valid reason. We announce changes at least 30 days in advance in the app or by email. If you do not object before they take effect, they are deemed accepted; we point this out in the announcement. If you object, you may end the contract as of the date of the change.
12 Applicable law and jurisdiction
French law applies. For consumers, the mandatory protective provisions of their EU country of residence apply in addition. Jurisdiction is as provided by law.
13 Severability
If a provision is invalid, the remainder of the contract stays in force. The statutory rule takes the place of the invalid provision.
