Terms of Service

Last Updated: June 20, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the BreakLoop mobile application (“BreakLoop,” “the App”). Please read them carefully before using the App.

1. Agreement to Terms

By downloading, installing, or using BreakLoop, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App. BreakLoop is owned and operated by Mete Arıkan, an individual operating under the trade name “Metari Studios” (“Developer,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

2. Description of Service

BreakLoop is a mobile application that rewards physical activity (such as walking, running, and push-ups) with “Minutes” — usable time on apps you have chosen to block — and “Focus Points” (FP), a separate, non-spendable currency used to determine your weekly Tier ranking. The App also includes optional, ad-supported features that let you earn additional Minutes without exercising.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use BreakLoop, or the minimum age of digital consent applicable in your country if that age is higher than 16. If the applicable minimum age in your country is lower than 16 and you meet it, you may use the App only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian. By using BreakLoop, you represent that you meet this requirement. BreakLoop is a general-audience app and is not directed at, marketed to, or designed for children under the age of 13.

4. No Account Required; Local Data

BreakLoop does not require you to create an account. All progress, statistics, and settings are stored locally on your device. We have no ability to recover this data if you uninstall the App, switch devices, or use the “Delete All Data” option in Settings → Data Management. See our Privacy Policy for details.

5. License Grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use BreakLoop on a device that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use. You may not: copy, modify, or create derivative works of the App; reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App except as expressly permitted by applicable law; rent, lease, sell, sublicense, or otherwise transfer the App; remove or obscure any proprietary notices; or use the App for any unlawful purpose.

6. Physical Activity & Health Disclaimer

BreakLoop encourages physical activity as part of its reward system. You are solely responsible for assessing your own physical condition before performing any exercise tracked by the App, and we recommend consulting a physician before beginning any new exercise routine, particularly if you have a pre-existing medical condition. BreakLoop is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice. Step counts, repetition counts, and other activity data are estimates based on your device’s sensors or camera and may not always be perfectly accurate.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Developer is not liable for any injury, harm, or damage arising from or related to your use of the App’s exercise features, including activity performed near traffic, stairs, water, or other hazards. Never use the App in a way that compromises your physical safety or the safety of others, and never exercise while operating a vehicle.

7. Virtual Currency

“Minutes” and “Focus Points (FP)” are virtual, in-app metrics with no monetary value. They cannot be purchased, sold, exchanged, transferred to another person or device, or redeemed for cash or any other form of compensation. We may adjust earning rates, thresholds, or the mechanics of Minutes, FP, Tiers, Streaks, or Daily Milestones at any time, including resetting balances, in order to improve the App.

8. App Blocking Feature

You are solely responsible for selecting which apps to block and for managing that list in Settings. BreakLoop’s blocking relies on permissions you grant on your device and on the underlying operating system’s capabilities, which differ between Android and iOS. We do not guarantee that blocking will be uninterrupted or impossible to bypass through device-level actions outside the App (for example, uninstalling BreakLoop, revoking its permissions, or using a separate device). BreakLoop is a behavioral self-improvement tool, not a parental-control or security product, and should not be relied upon as the sole means of restricting access to any app or content.

9. Advertising and Third-Party Services

BreakLoop is supported in part by advertising provided through Google AdMob. By using ad-supported features (such as Daily Ad Rewards), you agree to view advertising content supplied by Google and its advertising partners, which is not selected, reviewed, or endorsed by us in advance. See our Privacy Policy for details on what data is shared with Google for this purpose, and Google’s own terms at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

10. Intellectual Property

The App, including its name, logo, design, source code, graphics, animations, and all other original content (excluding third-party open-source components, which remain licensed under their own terms — see “Open Source Licenses” in Settings), is the exclusive property of Mete Arıkan (operating as Metari Studios) and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. “BreakLoop” and the BreakLoop logo are trademarks of Mete Arıkan (Metari Studios). Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use our trademarks, logos, or trade dress without our prior written consent.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE APP WILL BE ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR UNINTERRUPTED. STEP COUNTS, MINUTE CALCULATIONS, AND BLOCKING BEHAVIOR MAY BE AFFECTED BY YOUR DEVICE, OPERATING SYSTEM, OR THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, METE ARIKAN (OPERATING AS METARI STUDIOS) WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE APP. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR THE APP SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID, IF ANY, TO DOWNLOAD OR USE THE APP IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Mete Arıkan (Metari Studios) from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your violation of these Terms, your misuse of the App, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

14. Termination

We may suspend or discontinue the App, or any feature of it, at any time, with or without notice. You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 7, 10, 11, 12, and 13 — will survive.

15. Changes to the App and These Terms

We may update the App and these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date above and, where appropriate, notify you in-app. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Türkiye (Republic of Turkey), without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions, except where mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence grant you additional rights that cannot be waived by agreement — those rights remain available to you regardless of this clause.

17. Apple App Store Additional Terms

If you downloaded BreakLoop from Apple’s App Store, the following additional terms apply and, with respect to Apple, take precedence over any conflicting term above:

(a) This agreement is between you and Mete Arıkan (operating as Metari Studios) only, not Apple Inc., and Apple has no responsibility for the App or its content. (b) The license granted to you is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on an Apple-branded device that you own or control, as permitted by the App Store’s Usage Rules. (c) Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App. (d) In the event of any failure of the App to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) to you; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation regarding the App. (e) Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App, including product-liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer-protection claims. (f) In the event of a third-party claim that the App infringes intellectual property rights, Mete Arıkan (Metari Studios), not Apple, is solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such claim. (g) You must comply with any applicable third-party agreements (for example, your wireless data service agreement) when using the App. (h) Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
