Provider Riverland International GmbH
Scope iOS app "Focus Mode One"

1. Scope

These Terms of Service ("Terms") apply to the use of the iOS application Focus Mode One ("App") and all associated services provided to you by Riverland International GmbH, Hangstraße 11, 21075 Hamburg, Germany ("we", "us", or "Provider").

By downloading and using the App you agree to these Terms. Any conflicting terms of the user are not recognised unless we expressly agree to their applicability in writing.

2. Contracting party, contract language

Your contracting party is Riverland International GmbH. You can find the contact details in the imprint.

The App is distributed via the Apple App Store. The contract for the provision of the App and all in-app content is concluded exclusively between you and us — not with Apple. Apple merely acts as a distribution partner and payment processor under the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions applicable between you and Apple.

The contract language is German. These Terms are provided in English for convenience; the legally binding version is the German Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen. In case of discrepancies, the German version prevails.

3. Registration and user account

To use the App, a free user account is required. Registration is possible via email and password, Sign in with Apple, or Google Sign-In. You are obliged to provide truthful information when registering and to keep your password confidential.

Use is open to natural persons aged 16 years and above. By registering you confirm that you have reached the minimum age.

Only one user account per person is permitted. There is no entitlement to registration; we are entitled to refuse registration without giving reasons.

You can permanently close your account at any time in the App under Settings → Account → Delete account. Deletion includes all personal data linked to your account, unless statutory retention obligations apply (see Privacy Policy).

4. Description of the service

Focus Mode One is an iOS application that supports you in structured planning across quarters, weeks, and days. Depending on the selected tier (see § 5), the feature set includes, among others, daily planning, weekly planning, quarterly planning, focus sessions, streak and trophy gamification, automatic reminders, and cross-device synchronisation.

The specific scope of features may differ between tiers and is transparently displayed on the App Store product page and the in-app paywall before conclusion of the contract. The current feature description can also be found on the App Store product page.

We reserve the right to further develop the scope of features, to add new features, or — with reasonable notice — to remove features insofar as this is necessary for the permanent operation of the App and remains reasonable for the user.

5. Subscription, pricing, and payment

Subscription tiers

We offer three subscription tiers, each billed monthly or annually. All prices are final prices including applicable VAT.

Tier Monthly Annual
Supporter €7.99 €79.90
Champion €14.99 €149.90
Hero €19.99 €199.90

The annual price equals ten monthly prices — two months effectively free when billed annually. The currently applicable prices shown on the App Store and the in-app purchase dialog are binding.

Term and automatic renewal

The subscription runs from the date of purchase for the selected period (one month or one year). It renews automatically for the same period unless you cancel in your Apple ID settings at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. This automatic renewal is a requirement of the Apple App Store billing system and applies to all subscriptions processed through it.

The renewal amount will be charged to your Apple account within the last 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Free trial

If a free trial is offered before conclusion of the contract, it runs from activation by you for a defined period (typically 7 days). No costs are incurred during the trial. The trial automatically converts into a paid subscription unless you cancel in your Apple ID settings at least 24 hours before the trial ends.

Price changes

We will inform you about price adjustments for future billing periods at least 30 days before they take effect, by email or within the App. You will then have the right to cancel the subscription before the price change takes effect. If you do not object within the notice period and continue to use the App after the change takes effect, this is deemed consent to the price adjustment. We will expressly point out this legal consequence in the notice.

Payment processing via Apple

All payments are processed exclusively through Apple App Store billing (in-app purchase). Your payment details are held exclusively by Apple; we have no access to credit-card data or other banking information. Receipts are provided directly to you by Apple.

6. Cancellation

You can cancel your subscription at any time without giving reasons, effective at the end of the current billing period. Cancellation is processed exclusively via the Apple ID settings on your device:

We do not have the ability to cancel the subscription on your behalf at Apple. Until cancellation takes effect, your paid access is retained.

Our right to extraordinary termination for good cause (e.g. serious violation of these Terms) remains unaffected. In such a case we will inform you by email; already paid but unused subscription fees will be refunded on a pro-rata basis unless the termination is your responsibility.

7. Right of withdrawal

Instruction on withdrawal

Right of withdrawal. You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is 14 days from the day of contract conclusion.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (Riverland International GmbH, Hangstraße 11, 21075 Hamburg, Germany, email: hello@focusmode.one) by means of a clear statement (e.g. by email) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal. If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse all payments received from you without delay and no later than 14 days from the day on which we receive notification of your withdrawal. For this reimbursement, we will use the same means of payment you used for the original transaction. In no event will you be charged any fees for this reimbursement.

Early expiry of the right of withdrawal for digital content

The right of withdrawal expires prematurely in a contract for the supply of digital content not delivered on a tangible medium if

  1. you have expressly consented that we begin performance of the contract before the expiry of the withdrawal period, and
  2. you have simultaneously confirmed your awareness that, by giving such consent, you lose your right of withdrawal with the commencement of performance.

When you purchase a paid subscription in the App, you will be expressly informed of this legal consequence before conclusion and must actively consent. Upon gaining access to the paid features, your right of withdrawal expires prematurely.

Model withdrawal form

If you wish to withdraw from the contract, you may fill in this form and return it to us. An informal email notification suffices.

To: Riverland International GmbH, Hangstraße 11, 21075 Hamburg, Germany, hello@focusmode.one

I/we (*) hereby give notice that I/we (*) withdraw from my/our (*) contract of sale of the following service:

— Focus Mode One subscription (tier and term): ____
— Ordered on / received on: ____
— Name of consumer(s): ____
— Address of consumer(s): ____
— Date: ____

(*) Delete as applicable.

8. User content and licence

All content you create in the App — in particular goals, tasks, notes, reflections, and progress data — remains your intellectual property. You retain all rights to it.

To enable you to use the App technically, you grant us a simple, non-exclusive, territorially and temporally limited-to-the-duration-of-use right to store, process, and synchronise your content between your devices. This right serves exclusively the technical operation and expires upon deletion of your account.

We do not evaluate your content editorially, do not pass it on to third parties (except to our backend provider Supabase as a processor — see Privacy Policy), and do not use it for advertising purposes.

9. Rights to use the App

We grant you, for the duration of your user relationship, a simple, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to use the App on devices you own or control, exclusively for your personal, non-commercial purposes.

The copyright and other protective rights to the App, its source code, its design, and all included texts, images, and graphics belong exclusively to us or our licensors. You may not duplicate, distribute, reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise modify the App in whole or in part, insofar as this is not expressly permitted by law.

10. Acceptable use

When using the App, you undertake to abide by the following rules:

In case of violations, we are entitled — after prior warning, or in the case of serious violations without prior warning — to suspend or close your account. Your statutory rights to damages remain unaffected.

11. Availability and changes to the App

We strive for the highest possible availability of the App. Short-term outages — e.g. due to maintenance, updates, or disruptions at our service providers — are possible and do not constitute a defect.

We reserve the right to further develop the App, add new features, or — with reasonable notice — remove them. Changes that go beyond what is necessary for contractual operation and materially affect your usage options will be announced at least 30 days in advance. In such cases, you have an extraordinary right of termination.

Compatibility with future iOS versions is maintained to the best of our knowledge but cannot be guaranteed for all past iOS versions. The minimum supported iOS version is shown on the App Store product page.

12. Liability

We are liable without limitation for wilful intent and gross negligence, as well as for damage resulting from injury to life, body, or health.

For slight negligence, we are only liable for breach of an essential contractual obligation (cardinal obligation) whose performance is essential for the proper execution of the contract and whose observance the user may regularly rely on. In this case, our liability is limited to the damage foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract and typical of this type of contract.

Otherwise, our liability for slight negligence is excluded, insofar as mandatory statutory liability provisions (e.g. the German Product Liability Act) do not preclude this.

For data loss, we are only liable to the extent that the loss would have been avoidable through regular data backup that meets state-of-the-art standards on your side. We assume no liability for the loss of content that you have not backed up locally on your device, unless the loss is based on our wilful or grossly negligent behaviour.

13. Warranty

Statutory warranty rights apply to defects in the App. The App is provided to you "as is", taking into account the feature description communicated before conclusion of the contract. We do not owe any specific economic outcome you may wish to achieve through use of the App (e.g. productivity increase, goal achievement).

Should compatibility issues arise as part of iOS updates by Apple, we will endeavour to make a timely adjustment; however, we cannot commit to a fixed deadline.

14. Data protection

The protection of your personal data is important to us. Details on what data we collect and how we process it can be found in our Privacy Policy, which is an integral part of these Terms.

15. Applicable law and place of jurisdiction

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer-protection provisions of your habitual country of residence remain unaffected by this choice of law.

The exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with this contract is — insofar as you are a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law — Hamburg, Germany. Otherwise, the statutory places of jurisdiction apply.

16. EU online dispute resolution

The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR), accessible at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are not willing or obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

17. Changes to these Terms

We reserve the right to change these Terms with effect for the future, insofar as this is necessary to adapt to changed legal frameworks, Supreme Court case law, technical developments of the App, or changed feature offerings. We will announce changes at least 30 days before they take effect, by email or within the App.

If you do not object to the changes within 30 days of receiving notice, they are deemed agreed. We will expressly point out this legal consequence in the notice. If you object to the changes, we are entitled to terminate the contractual relationship at the next possible time.

18. Final provisions

Should individual provisions of these Terms be or become wholly or partially invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. The statutory provision shall replace the invalid provision.

Deviating provisions require text form (email suffices). This also applies to the waiver of the text form requirement itself.

19. Governing language

This English version of the Terms is provided for convenience. The legally binding version is the German "Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen". In case of any discrepancy between the two versions, the German version prevails.
