Breza Terms of Use
Last updated: [effective date]
These terms are an agreement between you and the developer of Breza ("we", "us") about the Breza mobile app. By using Breza you accept them. If you do not accept them, please do not use the app.
Breza is not medical advice
Read this part even if you skip the rest.
- Breza is a self-tracking and reflection tool. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
- It is not a substitute for a doctor, a therapist, a counsellor, a pharmacist, or a treatment programme.
- It gives no guidance on detox, tapering, dosing, or withdrawal. Stopping some substances suddenly can be medically dangerous. Talk to a clinician before changing how you use anything.
- The recovery timeline in the app describes what many people report over time. It is experiential framing, not a prediction about your body, and it is not based on your data.
- The AI companion is a supportive conversation partner. It is not a professional, it is not supervised by one, and it can be wrong. Do not rely on it for anything that matters medically.
In an emergency, do not use this app. Call your local emergency number, or go to your nearest emergency department. The app's crisis screen links to international helpline directories, and those directories are the fastest route to a person who can talk to you now. Those links are third-party services and we do not control what they offer.
Who can use Breza
You must be 18 or older to use Breza. If you are under 18, please do not use it, and please talk to someone you trust about finding age-appropriate support.
[verify] The app does not currently ask your age. Make sure this clause, the store content ratings, and the target-audience declarations agree with each other.
Your account, or the lack of one
There is no account. You do not register, and you do not give us a name, an email, or a password. Your data lives on your device.
That means two things you should understand before relying on the app:
- We cannot recover your data. If you lose the phone, uninstall the app, or erase your data, it is gone, including for us. Make a backup file if that matters to you.
- We cannot recover your backup passphrase. Backups are encrypted with a passphrase you choose. Nobody, including us, can open a backup without it.
Breza Plus
Breza is free to use. The core of recovery tracking stays free, always. Breza Plus is an optional paid subscription that unlocks additional features.
- Auto-renewing subscription. Plus is billed as an auto-renewing subscription through the App Store or Google Play. It renews automatically at the end of each period until you cancel.
- Price and period. Both are shown in the app on the purchase screen, and confirmed by the store before you are charged. The price shown by your store in your currency is the price that applies. Taxes may be added by the store.
- Free trial. New subscribers get a 7-day free trial. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, the subscription starts and you are charged the price shown at purchase. Trial eligibility is decided by the store, not by us, and returning subscribers may not be offered one. The purchase sheet from Apple or Google is the final word on what you will be charged.
- Managing and cancelling. Cancel any time in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings, at least 24 hours before the period ends. Cancelling stops the next renewal; Plus stays active until the end of the period you have paid for. We cannot cancel a store subscription on your behalf.
- Refunds. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their own policies, because they take the payment. We do not process payments and cannot issue refunds directly. If a store declines and you think that is wrong, write to support@breza-app.com and we will help where we can.
- Losing Plus. If a subscription lapses or is refunded, Plus features lock again. Your recorded data is untouched and stays on your device.
[verify] Confirm the deployed prices, the trial length on each base plan, and the product ids in the store consoles before publishing. The app deliberately reads all of this from the store, so nothing here should be hard-coded from memory.
Cloud backup (Plus)
Breza Plus can optionally keep an encrypted backup of your data on our server, so a new phone can restore it. What is stored and who can read it is in the Privacy Policy (d); this section is the terms of using it.
- Best-effort, like our other network features. Cloud backup, the companion, and the referral programme are services running on our server, not on your phone. We do not promise uptime, and a failed backup upload does not touch anything already on your device.
- We cannot recover a lost passphrase. The backup is encrypted with a passphrase only you choose. If you forget it, nobody — not you, not us — can open that backup again. There is no password reset, because there is no account.
- If Plus lapses. [verify] Our intended policy: an existing cloud backup is not deleted just because your Breza Plus subscription ends or is refunded. It stays until you delete it yourself (turn the feature off, or erase your data) or until the inactivity-based deletion described in the Privacy Policy (d) removes it. Confirm this matches what is actually deployed before publishing.
- Size limit. The app enforces a maximum backup size and tells you if yours is over it; oversized uploads are rejected, not silently truncated.
The referral programme
If we are running the referral programme:
- A promotional month for both sides. When a friend redeems your code, both of you receive one promotional month of Breza Plus.
- One redemption per install. A code can be redeemed once per install. You cannot redeem your own code.
- A cap per code. Each code can be redeemed a limited number of times (currently 10). After that it stops granting.
- No cash value. Promotional months have no cash value, cannot be exchanged, transferred, or sold, and are not refundable.
- We may change or withdraw it. We can change the terms, the cap, or the reward, or end the programme entirely, at any time. Months already granted are honoured.
- No gaming it. Creating installs, devices, or codes to farm free months is a breach of these terms, and we may withdraw codes and granted months where we see it.
Sharing a code shares only the code. It says nothing about your recovery, and the person you share with learns nothing about your use of the app.
Acceptable use
Please do not:
- use Breza for anyone else's data without their knowledge;
- try to break, overload, or reverse the app's servers, or work around rate limits;
- use the AI companion to generate content that is illegal, abusive, or intended to harm someone, or try to make it produce medical, dosing, or withdrawal instructions;
- resell, sublicense, or redistribute the app or a Plus entitlement;
- attempt to extract the service's keys or credentials.
We can stop serving the companion or the referral service to an install that does these things. Your on-device data stays yours either way, and we cannot reach into your device to remove anything.
Intellectual property
The app, its design, its code, its text, and its artwork belong to us, and are licensed to you for personal, non-commercial use, not sold. Third-party open-source components are used under their own licences. [verify] If you ship an open-source licence list in the app or in the repo, point at it here.
Your content stays yours
Everything you write in Breza is yours. We claim no ownership of and no licence to your journal entries, notes, or conversations.
We cannot read them. They are on your device. The only exception is the material you send to the AI companion after giving consent, and that is processed to generate a reply and not stored by our service. The privacy policy sets out exactly what is sent.
Availability
Breza's on-device features work offline and keep working whether or not our servers do. The companion, the referral service, and remote configuration need a network and may be unavailable, slow, rate-limited, or discontinued. We do not promise uptime for them. We can change or remove features, and we will avoid doing that to anything a person in a craving depends on.
Disclaimers
To the fullest extent the law allows, Breza is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that it will produce any particular outcome for your recovery.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost data, lost profits, or lost opportunity, arising out of your use of Breza. Our total liability for any claim relating to the app is limited to the amount you paid us for Breza in the 12 months before the claim, or [liability cap amount] if you paid nothing.
Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
[verify] Flagged for jurisdiction review. Disclaimers and liability caps are read very differently in different countries. Consumer law in the EU, the UK, and Australia in particular restricts what these two sections can exclude, and a health-adjacent app is a poor place to over-reach. Have a lawyer rewrite both sections for the markets you actually ship to, and check whether a consumer-rights clause is required.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of [governing law jurisdiction], without regard to conflict of law rules. [verify] Add the venue and any consumer carve-out your lawyer advises. If you ship in the EU, note that consumers keep the protections of their home country's law regardless of this clause.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. If a change matters, we will surface it in the app rather than only here. Continuing to use Breza after a change means you accept the updated terms. The "last updated" date at the top always reflects the current version.
