Welcome to Hive. This agreement ("Agreement") is a legal agreement between you and the Hive team ("we", "us") regarding the use of this focus companion tool. Please read carefully before use.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using Hive, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by all terms of this Agreement. If you do not agree, please immediately stop using and uninstall the application.

2. License Grant

We grant you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable limited license to install and use Hive on iOS devices you legally own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial purposes.

You may not: copy, modify, reverse-engineer, decompile, or distribute any part of this application; use the application for any illegal or unauthorized purpose; access the application's service interfaces through automated means.

3. User Generated Content & Atmosphere Policy

Although Hive is not a traditional social application, when synchronizing your focus status or displaying basic information in a squad, you must not include:

• Any form of obscenity, pornography, violence, or commercial advertising;
• Defamatory, harassing, discriminatory, or privacy-invading language;
• Any content that may interfere with other users' focus and learning;
• Impersonation of others or false identity information.

For violating users, the Hive team reserves the right to restrict or ban accounts without prior notice.

4. Subscription & Payment

Hive offers the following subscription plans to unlock all focus features:

• Monthly: Auto-renewed monthly;
• Quarterly: Auto-renewed every 3 months at a discounted rate;
• Annual: Auto-renewed yearly at the greatest discount;
• Lifetime: One-time payment for permanent access.

All payments are processed through the Apple App Store and are subject to Apple's payment terms and conditions. Prices may vary by region; the App Store listing price is authoritative.

Auto-renewing subscriptions will be charged within 24 hours before the expiry date, unless cancelled at least 24 hours beforehand. You may manage or cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple ID account settings.

5. Refund Policy

All purchases made through the Apple App Store are subject to Apple's Refund Policy. The Hive team does not directly process refunds.

New users may enjoy a 7-day free trial (where applicable as shown on the App Store). After the trial period ends, unless cancelled, charges will automatically be applied per the selected plan.
