Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of "Nimbus" ("the Extension") and the related services, features, and content provided by the "FractalApps" team ("the Company") (collectively, the "Service"). By installing, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Definitions

  • "Company" means FractalApps.
  • "Extension" means the Google Chrome™ browser extension "Nimbus".
  • "Service" means the Extension and all related features and support.
  • "User" means any individual or entity that installs or uses the Service.
  • "Settings" means the preferences you configure within the Extension, which are stored on your own device.

2. Description of the Service

The Service reminds you to rest your eyes at an interval you choose. When a break begins, the Extension displays a soft glow around the inside edge of the browser window for the length of the break, then removes it. The Extension runs entirely on your device, stores your Settings locally, and does not transmit data to the Company or to any third party.

3. Eligibility

You must be able to form a binding contract to use the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

4. License and permitted use

Subject to these Terms, the Company grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your internal business or personal purposes in accordance with these Terms and any applicable policies.

5. User responsibilities

You are responsible for your use of the Service. You agree that you will:

  • Use the Service only in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
  • Not rely on the Service in any situation where a missed or delayed reminder could result in harm, loss, or injury.
  • Ensure that any custom break message you configure is lawful and appropriate for the settings in which your screen may be visible to others, including shared, recorded, or presented screens.
  • Not attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or interfere with the Service or its security features.
  • Not misuse the Service in a way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Service or the browser.
  • Not redistribute, resell, or publish the Extension or a modified version of it as your own.

6. Health disclaimer

The Service is a general wellness and productivity tool. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Break intervals based on commonly cited guidance, such as the 20-20-20 rule, are provided for general informational purposes only and are not a substitute for professional medical advice.

The Company makes no representation that using the Service will prevent, reduce, or treat eye strain, eye fatigue, dry eyes, headaches, or any other condition. If you are experiencing persistent eye discomfort, changes in vision, or any other symptom, consult a qualified optometrist, ophthalmologist, or physician. Do not delay seeking professional advice because of anything presented by the Service.

7. Settings and local data

Your Settings are stored on your own device using the Google Chrome™ storage APIs and remain under your control. The Company does not receive, store, or have any means of accessing them. Uninstalling the Extension, clearing its storage, or resetting your browser profile will delete your Settings permanently, and the Company is unable to recover them. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

8. Fees

The Service is provided free of charge. There is no paid tier, subscription, or in-extension purchase. The Company reserves the right to introduce paid features in a future version; if it does, any such fees will be disclosed clearly before purchase, and features available free of charge under these Terms will not be made retroactively chargeable in the version you have installed.

9. Third-party services and websites

The Extension does not integrate with, transmit data to, or depend on any third-party service. It displays its reminder on the web pages you visit, but the Company does not operate those websites and is not responsible for their content, availability, or practices. The Extension is distributed through the Chrome Web Store, and your acquisition and installation of it is additionally subject to Google's applicable terms.

10. Service changes, availability, and termination

The Company may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (in whole or in part) at any time, including to maintain security, comply with law, or improve features. The Company may suspend or terminate access to the Service if you violate these Terms or if continued use poses a security, legal, or operational risk. You may terminate these Terms at any time by uninstalling the Extension.

11. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. The Company does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that every reminder will be delivered at the exact scheduled time. Reminder timing depends on the browser's own scheduling of background tasks, and the reminder cannot be displayed on pages where browser extensions are not permitted to run, such as browser settings pages, the Chrome Web Store, and the built-in PDF viewer.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COMPANY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ANY REMINDER THAT IS MISSED, DELAYED, OR NOT DISPLAYED.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM (OR, IF THE SERVICE IS FREE, USD $100).

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to (a) your misuse of the Service, or (b) your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where the Company is established, without regard to conflict of laws principles. Where permitted, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in that jurisdiction for disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated Terms on this page and update the "Last updated" date. Changes are effective when posted. Your continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
