Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, registering for, or using the SaiyamAI mobile application (the "App"), you ("User," "you," or "your") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not install or use the App.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Shrey Jain operating as SaiyamAI ("we," "us," "our," or the "Company"), based in Katni, Madhya Pradesh, India.

2. Eligibility

• You must be at least 13 years old (or 16 in the EEA, or 18 in India) to use the App.
• If you are a minor above the minimum age in your jurisdiction but below the age of majority, you must have parental or guardian consent.
• By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet these eligibility requirements.

3. Description of Service

SaiyamAI is a digital wellness application powered by Artificial Intelligence. The App provides:

• Plans: Set daily or hourly (Pomodoro-cycle) usage limits for specific apps. Negotiate snooze (extra time) with the AI.
• Strict Time: Block apps during specific hours. Access is intentionally difficult to obtain.
• Do Not Disturb (DND): Pause all tracking and nudges during specified hours.
• AI Chat (Plan Mode): Full-context conversations with SaiyamAI about your digital habits; access to last 7 days usage, plans, strict time, and DND settings.
• AI Chat (Nudge Mode): On-the-spot conversations when nudged on another app; access limited to that app's usage stats. No modifications to plans/settings from this mode.
• Reels Blocker: Optionally detects and redirects away from Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts using the Accessibility Service. Can be toggled on/off at any time in Settings → Reels Blocker.
• Reel Cap: Optionally limits how many Reels or Shorts you may scroll through per app within a time window you configure, instead of blocking the feature entirely.
• Subscriptions: Optional paid premium tiers processed through Google Play Billing. See Section 12A.
• Notifications: Weekly reports and a persistent timer bubble.

4. Account Registration and Security

• Account Creation: You must register using a valid email address, or by signing in with your Google account. You agree to provide accurate and current information.
• Account Security: You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.
• One Account Per User: Each user should maintain only one account.
• Unauthorized Access: You must notify us immediately at support@saiyamai.com if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

5. Required Permissions

The App requires the following Android permissions to function. You must grant these for the App to operate:

You may revoke any permission at any time in your device settings. Revoking permissions will degrade or disable the corresponding App features but will not delete your account or data.

See our Privacy Policy for a detailed explanation of how data from these permissions is used and protected.

6. App Blocking and Strict Time — IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER

The App is designed to block your access to other applications on your device.

7. AI Interactions — Disclaimer

8. User Conduct and Acceptable Use

You agree NOT to:

• Use the App for any unlawful purpose.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App.
• Attempt to bypass the App's blocking mechanisms through unauthorized means.
• Interfere with or disrupt the App's functionality or servers.
• Impersonate another person or entity.
• Use automated scripts or bots to interact with the AI.
• Share your account credentials with others.

9. Intellectual Property

• The App, its design, code, AI prompts, branding, logos, and all original content are the exclusive property of Shrey Jain (operating as SaiyamAI) and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
• Your user-generated content (chats, memories, plans) remains yours. By using the App, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to process this content solely for delivering the App's services as described in the Privacy Policy.
• You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the App without our prior written consent.

10. Data Usage and Privacy

Your use of the App is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

Key points:

• We collect only the data necessary for the App's core functionality.
• We do not currently sell your personal data to third parties.
• When we refer to "anonymised" data: your personal identity (name, email, unique account identifier) is never shared with the AI model, any third party, or any external analytics service or aggregated dataset. See Privacy Policy Section 3.4 for the full definition.
• Analytics & Crash Reporting: The App uses Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics (provided by Google) to collect app-usage events, session data, crash reports, and diagnostic information. These SDKs may read and use your device's Advertising ID (ad_id / GAID) to deduplicate analytics events. This data is used solely to improve App stability and features — never for advertising or ad targeting. See Privacy Policy Sections 3.2, 4.5, and 7.1 for full details.
• If we decide to monetize data in the future, we will provide advance notice, update our Privacy Policy, and obtain separate, explicit consent where required by law. See Privacy Policy Section 7.4.
• You have the right to delete your account and all associated data at any time. See Privacy Policy Section 10.

11. Early Access and Waitlist

• Access to the App may be gated behind an early access program or waitlist.
• Having a waitlist position does not guarantee access or a timeline for access.
• We reserve the right to grant or revoke early access at our sole discretion.

12. Service Availability and Modifications

• We strive to maintain the App's availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service.
• We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature of the App at any time, with or without notice.
• The App offers optional paid subscriptions/premium tiers, described in Section 12A. Existing free features may be modified but we will provide reasonable notice.

12A. Subscriptions and Payments

• Billing Provider: Paid subscriptions are sold and processed through Google Play Billing. We do not directly collect or store your payment card details — these are handled entirely by Google Play under Google Play's Terms of Service.
• Auto-Renewal: Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the renewal date, in accordance with Google Play's billing cycle.
• Cancellation: You may cancel your subscription at any time through the Google Play Store → Subscriptions. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you retain access to paid features until then.
• Refunds: Refunds are handled per Google Play's refund policy. We do not directly process refunds; please contact Google Play support or request a refund through the Play Store.
• Price Changes: We will provide reasonable advance notice of any price changes to active subscribers before the new price takes effect, as required by applicable law.
• Account Linking: To activate and verify your subscription, an obfuscated identifier derived from your account is shared with Google Play Billing at the time of purchase. See Privacy Policy Sections 3.2 and 7.1 for details.
• No Guarantee of Features: Premium features available under a subscription may be modified or updated over time; we will make reasonable efforts to notify subscribers of material reductions in premium functionality.
