Terms of Service

Terms and conditions for using Mindova

Last updated: August 18, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Mindova, a product operated by Mindova App LLC (“Mindova,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

Please read these Terms carefully before using Mindova.

By accessing or using Mindova, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you should not use the Service.

About Mindova

Mindova is a focus and productivity service designed to help users manage distracting websites, set website time limits, run focus sessions, and review focus and browsing activity.

The services currently covered by these Terms include:

  • the Mindova browser extension;
  • the Mindova website at mindova.app;
  • the Mindova web dashboard; and
  • related online services provided by Mindova App LLC.

Together, these are referred to as the “Service.”

Mindova does not currently offer a publicly available native mobile application.

We are developing a mobile app for future release. If a future Mindova mobile application links to these Terms, these Terms will also apply to that application unless different terms are provided.

Eligibility

You may use Mindova only if you are legally permitted to enter into these Terms under the laws applicable to you.

If you are using Mindova on behalf of a company, school, organization, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to accept these Terms on its behalf.

Users who are not old enough to enter into a binding agreement in their jurisdiction should use Mindova only with the authorization of a parent or legal guardian where required by law.

Your Mindova Account

Some Mindova features may require an account.

When creating or using an account, you agree to provide accurate information and to keep that information reasonably up to date.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and for activity that occurs through your account.

You should notify us promptly if you believe that:

  • someone has accessed your account without permission;
  • your account credentials have been compromised; or
  • there has been another security issue involving your account.

You may not knowingly access another person’s Mindova account without authorization.

Mindova may support third-party sign-in methods, such as Google Sign-In.

Our handling of account information is explained further in our Privacy Policy.

License to Use Mindova

Subject to these Terms, Mindova App LLC grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to access and use Mindova for its intended purposes.

This license does not transfer ownership of Mindova or any part of the Service to you.

Except where applicable law expressly permits otherwise, you may not:

  • copy or redistribute Mindova as your own product;
  • sell, rent, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service without our permission;
  • remove proprietary notices from the Service;
  • attempt to gain unauthorized access to Mindova systems or other users’ accounts;
  • interfere with the operation or security of the Service; or
  • use Mindova in violation of applicable law.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to misuse Mindova.

You may not use the Service to:

  • violate applicable laws or regulations;
  • distribute malware or malicious code;
  • attempt unauthorized access to systems, accounts, or data;
  • interfere with the normal operation of Mindova;
  • overload, disrupt, or attack Mindova infrastructure;
  • impersonate another person or entity;
  • use another user’s account without permission;
  • collect information about other users unlawfully;
  • use automated systems in a manner that materially harms or disrupts the Service; or
  • use Mindova to infringe the intellectual-property or other legal rights of another person.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to prohibit conduct that applicable law expressly permits and that cannot legally be restricted by contract.

Website Blocking and Focus Features

Mindova provides tools that allow you to create and manage your own focus settings.

These may include features such as:

  • blocking selected websites;
  • setting individual website time limits;
  • setting overall distraction limits;
  • categorizing websites;
  • running Focus Sessions;
  • reviewing focus and browsing statistics; and
  • enabling optional synchronization features.

You are responsible for choosing your own blocking rules, limits, classifications, and focus settings.

Mindova does not guarantee that using these features will improve productivity, academic performance, health, employment performance, or any other particular outcome.

Mindova is a productivity tool, not medical, psychological, educational, or professional advice.

Availability and Bypassing Restrictions

Mindova is designed to help create friction around distracting browsing.

However, Mindova is not represented as an irreversible or impossible-to-bypass blocking system.

Users may be able to change settings, disable browser functionality, uninstall software, use another browser or device, or otherwise access content outside the scope of Mindova.

You should not rely on Mindova as a security, parental-control, access-control, or safety system where failure to block content could result in harm.

Free and Paid Plans

Mindova currently provides a free version of the Service.

We intend to continue offering a free version while we may also introduce optional paid plans, subscriptions, or premium features in the future.

The availability and features of free and paid plans may change over time.

If we offer a paid plan, the applicable:

  • price;
  • billing period;
  • included features;
  • renewal terms;
  • taxes, where applicable;
  • cancellation terms; and
  • any trial conditions

will be shown to you before you complete the purchase.

You will not be charged merely because Mindova introduces paid plans.

A paid plan begins only when you affirmatively choose to purchase one.

Subscriptions and Renewals

If Mindova offers recurring paid subscriptions in the future, we will disclose the applicable renewal and billing terms before purchase.

Where a subscription automatically renews, we will explain the renewal period and recurring charge before you subscribe.

You may cancel a paid subscription using the cancellation method made available with that subscription.

Unless otherwise stated at purchase, cancellation generally prevents future renewal and does not immediately remove access to benefits already paid for through the current billing period.

Any mandatory cancellation or renewal rights provided by applicable law remain unaffected.

EU consumer rules impose specific information requirements for distance contracts and digital services, including information that must be supplied before consumers purchase digital services.

Trials and Promotions

Mindova may offer free trials, introductory periods, discounts, or promotional access to paid features in the future.

Any specific conditions attached to an offer will be disclosed when the offer is presented.

Promotional offers may:

  • have eligibility requirements;
  • be limited in duration;
  • apply only once per user; or
  • expire according to the conditions disclosed with the promotion.

We will not describe an offer as free if payment is required without clearly disclosing the relevant payment conditions.

Refunds

Refund rights may depend on:

  • the product or plan purchased;
  • where you live;
  • how the purchase was made;
  • the platform through which the purchase was made; and
  • applicable consumer law.

If Mindova introduces paid services, any specific refund policy applicable to the purchase will be disclosed at or before purchase where required.

Nothing in these Terms limits a refund, withdrawal, cancellation, repair, price-reduction, termination, or other consumer remedy that cannot legally be waived.

For example, EU rules provide statutory remedies for certain faulty digital content and digital services, including in some circumstances where access is provided in exchange for personal data rather than money.

Payments

When paid plans become available, payments may be processed by third-party payment providers.

We may not directly receive or store complete payment-card details when those details are handled by a payment processor.

Payment providers may apply their own terms and privacy policies to their services.

You agree to provide accurate billing information and to pay charges that you explicitly authorize.

Applicable taxes may be added where required by law.

Privacy and User Data

Your use of Mindova is also subject to our Privacy Policy.

The Privacy Policy explains:

  • what information Mindova processes;
  • how browsing-related information is used;
  • what information remains on your device by default;
  • how optional Cloud Sync works;
  • how account information is handled;
  • when service providers may process information; and
  • the privacy rights and choices available to you.

Mindova’s core focus functionality is designed to operate locally by default, while Cloud Sync is optional and off by default.

Enabling Cloud Sync may cause supported settings and focus information to be stored with your Mindova account.

Please review the Privacy Policy before using Mindova.

Cloud Sync

Mindova may offer optional Cloud Sync.

When Cloud Sync is enabled, supported settings and activity information may be synchronized with your Mindova account.

Cloud Sync does not mean that Mindova provides native blocking on every type of device or operating system.

The availability of synchronization and blocking functionality depends on the Mindova products and platforms that are currently supported.

You are responsible for deciding whether to enable Cloud Sync.

Future Mobile Services

We are developing a Mindova mobile app.

Until that product is publicly launched, references to Mindova in these Terms should not be interpreted as a promise that native mobile blocking is currently available.

The mobile product may have functionality, permissions, limitations, subscription options, or technical requirements different from the browser extension.

We may update these Terms and our Privacy Policy before or when the mobile app becomes publicly available.

Third-Party Services

Mindova may rely on third-party services to provide functionality such as:

  • authentication;
  • hosting;
  • cloud infrastructure;
  • database services;
  • payment processing;
  • application distribution; and
  • other technical services.

For example, account authentication and backend functionality may be provided using third-party infrastructure.

Third-party services may be governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

Mindova is not responsible for third-party services that you access independently of Mindova.

Links to Third-Party Websites

Mindova or content published on mindova.app may contain links to third-party websites.

We provide these links for convenience or informational purposes.

Unless we expressly state otherwise, linking to a website does not mean that Mindova App LLC:

  • owns the website;
  • controls the website;
  • endorses everything published there; or
  • guarantees its availability or accuracy.

Your interactions with third-party websites are governed by their own terms and policies.

Intellectual Property

Mindova, including its software, branding, interface, designs, text, graphics, logos, functionality, and original content, is owned by Mindova App LLC or used under appropriate licenses.

Mindova and related branding may be protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws.

These Terms do not give you ownership of Mindova’s intellectual property.

You retain ownership of content or information that you lawfully own and provide to the Service.

Feedback

If you voluntarily provide ideas, suggestions, feature requests, or other feedback about Mindova, you give Mindova App LLC permission to use that feedback to develop, improve, and operate Mindova without an obligation to compensate you.

This does not transfer ownership of your unrelated personal content or private data to us.

Changes to Mindova

Mindova is an evolving product.

We may add, modify, improve, replace, or discontinue features.

We may also perform maintenance or temporarily restrict access where reasonably necessary for:

  • security;
  • technical maintenance;
  • legal compliance;
  • product updates; or
  • protection of users or the Service.

Where applicable law or an existing paid contract requires advance notice, a valid reason, or additional consumer rights before a material change, we will comply with those requirements.

Service Availability

We aim to keep Mindova available and reliable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.

Mindova may occasionally become unavailable because of:

  • maintenance;
  • software errors;
  • browser or operating-system changes;
  • third-party outages;
  • internet connectivity;
  • security incidents; or
  • circumstances outside our reasonable control.

We may modify technical requirements as browsers, operating systems, and related platforms evolve.

Suspension and Termination

You may stop using Mindova at any time.

Where account-deletion functionality is available, you may request or initiate deletion according to the options provided by Mindova and our Privacy Policy.

We may suspend or terminate access to Mindova where reasonably necessary because of:

  • a material or repeated violation of these Terms;
  • fraud or abuse;
  • a security threat;
  • unlawful activity;
  • a legal requirement; or
  • conduct that materially threatens Mindova, its infrastructure, or other users.

Where reasonably practicable and legally appropriate, we may provide notice before terminating an account.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination—including intellectual-property, liability, dispute, and payment obligations already incurred—may continue to apply.

Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Mindova is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

We do not promise that Mindova will:

  • always be available;
  • be completely error-free;
  • block every attempted website visit in every circumstance;
  • be impossible to bypass;
  • work indefinitely with every browser or device;
  • produce a particular productivity result; or
  • meet every user’s specific requirements.

However, nothing in these Terms excludes any warranty, guarantee, consumer remedy, or other right that applicable law does not allow us to exclude.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Mindova App LLC and its officers, employees, contractors, and agents will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive losses arising from or relating to your use of Mindova where such liability may legally be limited.

We are not responsible for losses caused solely by:

  • your own blocking or focus configurations;
  • your decision to remove or change restrictions;
  • third-party websites or services;
  • unsupported browsers, platforms, or devices; or
  • events outside our reasonable control.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful.

Nothing in these Terms removes statutory consumer rights or remedies that cannot legally be waived.

This carve-out is important for consumer-facing digital services: EU rules protect consumers against unfair standard terms and preserve mandatory remedies for qualifying digital services.

Consumer Rights

If you use Mindova as a consumer, you may have mandatory rights under the laws of the country where you live.

These Terms do not override rights that cannot legally be waived by contract.

If any provision of these Terms conflicts with mandatory consumer-protection law applicable to you, the mandatory law will apply to the extent of that conflict.

This is particularly relevant in jurisdictions such as the European Union, where digital-service contracts and standard consumer terms are subject to specific protections.

Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms and disputes relating to Mindova are governed by the laws of the State of New Mexico, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, subject to any mandatory rights you have under the laws of your country of residence.

If you are a consumer, nothing in this section deprives you of any mandatory right to bring a claim before a court or authority available to you under applicable law.

Before beginning formal proceedings, we encourage you to contact us so we can attempt to resolve the issue.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time.

If we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.

For material changes, we may provide additional notice through the Service, by email, or by another reasonable method where required by law.

Changes will apply prospectively unless applicable law permits otherwise.

If a change requires your consent under applicable law, we will request that consent.

Severability

If a provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.

The invalid provision will be interpreted or limited only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable where permitted.

No Waiver

If Mindova App LLC does not immediately enforce a provision of these Terms, that does not mean we waive the right to enforce it later.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms presented to you for a particular paid product, promotion, or feature, constitute the agreement between you and Mindova App LLC concerning your use of Mindova.

If additional terms conflict with these Terms for a specific product or transaction, the more specific terms will govern that product or transaction.
