Terms of Use

Last updated: October 14, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Pauzzy ("Pauzzy", "we", "us") that governs your use of the Pauzzy app and this website (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.

1. Who can use Pauzzy

You must be at least 13 years old, or older if the law where you live requires a higher age, and able to form a binding contract. If you use the Service for an organization, you confirm you can bind it to these Terms.

2. Your account

You are responsible for the information you provide, for keeping your login details secure, and for everything that happens under your account. Tell us right away at contact.pauzzy@gmail.com if you think your account has been compromised.

3. What Pauzzy does

Pauzzy lets you send messages and control when notifications appear, with schedules set per person and per group. Pauzzy is not message blocking: senders send as usual, and you choose when messages and notifications reach you. Senders can see that you're paused and when notifications are expected to resume, and you can choose to turn on optional auto-responses.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• break the law, or infringe or violate anyone else's rights;
• harass, threaten, defame or abuse others, or send hateful, sexually explicit involving minors, or otherwise harmful content;
• send spam, scams, phishing, malware or other unsolicited bulk or deceptive messages;
• impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation;
• access accounts or data that aren't yours, or probe, disrupt or bypass the security of the Service;
• scrape, reverse engineer, decompile or copy the Service, except where the law allows;
• use the Service in a way that could harm Pauzzy, our users or our providers.

5. Your content

You keep ownership of the messages and other content you send through the Service ("Your Content"). You give us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, store, transmit and display Your Content only as needed to run, secure and improve the Service and to deliver it to the people you send it to. You are responsible for Your Content and you confirm you have the rights to share it. We may remove content or restrict accounts that violate these Terms or the law.

6. Our property

The Service, including the Pauzzy name, logo, design, software and content we create, is owned by Pauzzy and its licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, personal, revocable, non-transferable license to use the app for its intended purpose. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.

7. Feedback

If you send us ideas or suggestions, we may use them without obligation or payment to you.

8. Apple App Store

If you download Pauzzy from the Apple App Store, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and Pauzzy, not Apple. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app, and is not responsible for claims relating to it. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. You must also follow Apple's applicable media services terms.

9. Suspension and termination

You can stop using Pauzzy and delete your account at any time by emailing contact.pauzzy@gmail.com. We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms, if we're required to by law, or if your use creates risk for others or for the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

10. Changes to the Service and these Terms

We may change, suspend or discontinue features of the Service at any time. We may update these Terms from time to time. If a change is material, we will update the date above and, where appropriate, tell you in the app or by email. Using the Service after the change takes effect means you accept the new Terms.

11. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent allowed by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that messages or notifications will always be delivered on time.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Pauzzy and its owners, employees and providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service, including missed or delayed messages or notifications. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or US$100. Some places don't allow certain limits, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

13. Indemnity

You agree to defend and indemnify Pauzzy against claims, losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from Your Content or your violation of these Terms or the law, to the extent allowed by law.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be handled in the state and federal courts located in California, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring them elsewhere. Please contact us first at contact.pauzzy@gmail.com so we can try to resolve the issue informally.

15. General

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service. If a part is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our not enforcing a term isn't a waiver. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms without our consent; we may transfer ours in connection with a business change.
