1. Scope of Application
1.1 These Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "Terms") apply between you as a user (hereinafter "you") of our app sumu (hereinafter the "sumu App" or "App") and us, Sumu Labs (hereinafter "we" or "us").
1.2 With the sumu App, we provide an AI‑first daily‑planning application that helps you capture a brain dump, turn it into a planned daily timeline with the assistance of AI, execute your day with a focus timer, and track your progress with streaks and trophies. The App stores your data locally on your device and can synchronize it across your devices when you sign in.
1.3 The sumu App is available in a free basic version and a paid version (hereinafter "sumu Pro"). Only in sumu Pro are all features of the App unlocked.
1.4 You agree to these Terms by (i) using the sumu App in its sumu Pro version, or (ii) otherwise using the App after being presented with these Terms, or (iii) expressly accepting these Terms as the binding basis for using the App.
1.5 We do not recognize any conflicting or deviating terms unless we have expressly agreed to them in writing.
1.6 These Terms apply to all versions of the sumu App, including any web version and use of our website.
2. App Functions and License
2.1 The functional scope of the sumu App is described in the relevant app store and on our website https://getsumuapp.com, together with the applicable hardware and software requirements. Some features require a stable internet connection (for example, cloud sync and AI features); other features work offline because the App is local‑first.
2.2 We may provide updates to the App to the extent required by law, and we may provide further updates at our own discretion to develop the App further or improve its quality.
2.3 We reserve the right to change the App at any time in a manner reasonable to you, for example to develop it further, improve its quality, or address technical or legal requirements.
2.4 By downloading or using the sumu App, you receive a personal, limited, non‑exclusive, non‑transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on your devices as permitted under these Terms. We reserve all other rights. No ownership in the App or its software is transferred; only rights of use are granted, for an unlimited period for the free version, and for the subscription period for sumu Pro.
3. Eligibility and Account
3.1 You must be at least 16 years old, or have the consent of a parent or legal guardian, to use the App.
3.2 Some features (such as cloud sync and AI) require you to create an account. You must provide accurate information, keep your credentials confidential, and are responsible for activity under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.
3.3 You are responsible for the content you enter into the App and for ensuring you have the right to enter it.
4. Acceptable Use
4.1 You agree not to:
- use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
- attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or circumvent technical protections of the App, except to the extent permitted by mandatory law;
- interfere with or disrupt the App, our servers, or our service providers' infrastructure;
- attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the App or another user's account;
- use the App, including its AI features, to generate or process content that is unlawful, infringing, or harmful; or
- resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the App without our written consent.
4.2 We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms.
5. AI Features
5.1 The sumu App includes AI‑assisted features, including parsing your brain dump into tasks, planning your day, breaking tasks into steps, and an AI assistant. When you use these features, the content you submit is processed by our AI service provider to generate a result, as described in our Privacy Policy.
5.2 AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable for your needs. AI‑generated plans, schedules, steps, and suggestions are provided for convenience only and do not constitute professional advice. You are solely responsible for reviewing AI output before relying on or acting on it.
5.3 AI features may depend on third‑party services and may be modified, limited, or discontinued. We do not guarantee any particular AI result, availability, or turnaround time.
6. Compensation and Subscriptions (sumu Pro)
6.1 The free basic version and the paid sumu Pro version are obtained through the Apple App Store.
6.2 We offer one or more subscription and payment plans for sumu Pro. Subscription periods and applicable prices are shown in the Apple App Store and in the App. We may change prices at any time; price changes will be published in the Apple App Store and/or the App and will not affect a subscription period already paid for.
6.3 Subscriptions are payable in advance for the applicable subscription period. All payments are processed by the Apple App Store; we do not collect payments directly.
6.4 Automatic renewal: Unless you cancel before the end of the current subscription period, your subscription renews automatically for a further period of the same length and is billed through the Apple App Store.
6.5 You can cancel an existing subscription at any time in your Apple App Store account settings, effective at the end of the current subscription period.
6.6 Refunds: All payments for sumu Pro are final. We do not offer refunds, including for subscription periods already paid for, for unused or partially used subscription periods, or where you stop using the App before the end of a period. Because all payments are processed by the Apple App Store, we do not receive your payment and cannot issue a refund. Any refund is granted solely at Apple's discretion under the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, and must be requested from Apple. Mandatory statutory rights that cannot be excluded under the law applicable to you remain unaffected (Section 9.5).
7. Your Content and Ownership
7.1 You retain all rights in the content you create in the App (your tasks, notes, plans, and other entries). We do not claim ownership of your content.
7.2 You grant us a limited license to host, store, transmit, and process your content solely to provide and operate the App's features (such as cloud sync and AI processing), in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
7.3 You are responsible for maintaining your own backups where appropriate. See the liability limitations in Section 9.
8. Third‑Party Services and App Stores
8.1 The App integrates with and depends on third‑party services, including the Apple App Store, the operating system's calendar (e.g. Apple Calendar via EventKit), push‑notification services, and our infrastructure and AI providers. Your use of those services may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies.
8.2 Where you obtain the App through an app store, the app store's terms also apply to your download and use, and the app store may be responsible for aspects such as billing, refunds, and distribution.
8.3 Calendar and notification integrations operate only with the permissions you grant through your device, which you can revoke at any time in your device settings.
9. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
9.1 To the extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, except for warranties that cannot be excluded by law. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error‑free, secure, or that AI output will be accurate.
9.2 We are liable for damages only within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, regardless of the legal grounds. Except in cases where liability cannot be limited by law (including injury to life, limb, or health, liability for gross negligence or willful misconduct, and any mandatory statutory product‑liability or consumer‑protection claims), we are not liable for damages arising from your use of the App, including damage caused by errors, problems, viruses, or loss of data.
9.3 In the event of data loss, our liability is limited to the costs that would have been incurred had you maintained orderly, regular backups of your data.
9.4 Cap on liability: To the extent permitted by applicable law, and except where liability cannot be limited or excluded by law (Sections 9.2 and 9.6), our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of the App is limited to the greater of (a) the total amount you paid for sumu Pro in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the liability, or (b) USD 100. This cap applies to all claims in the aggregate, not to each claim separately.
9.5 The above limitations also apply in favor of our employees, representatives, and vicarious agents.
9.6 Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under the law applicable to you, including mandatory consumer‑protection rights.
10. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from third‑party claims arising out of your unlawful use of the App or your breach of these Terms.
11. Term and Termination
11.1 These Terms apply for as long as you use the App. You may stop using the App at any time and delete your account.
11.2 We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms or where required by law. Statutory rights of termination remain unaffected.
11.3 On termination, the license granted in Section 2.4 ends. Provisions that by their nature should survive (including Sections 7, 9, 10, and 12) survive termination.
12. Amendment of These Terms
12.1 For minor changes (for example, changes required by law), we may make the updated Terms available in the App or the app stores. Please review these Terms periodically. For significant changes that materially disadvantage you, we will obtain your consent by a suitable means within the App, or notify you at least two weeks before the changes take effect.
12.2 A change notice will include (i) a link to the updated Terms, (ii) the effective date, (iii) a two‑week objection period, and (iv) the consequences of not objecting. If you do not object within the period, the updated Terms are deemed accepted.
12.3 If you object to significant changes, we may terminate the agreement with you if continuing under the existing Terms is not reasonably possible for us.
13. Data Protection
Please see our Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of these Terms and explains how we process your personal data.
14. Final Provisions
14.1 Governing law: These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, excluding its conflict‑of‑laws rules and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Mandatory consumer‑protection provisions of the country in which you have your habitual residence remain unaffected.
14.2 Jurisdiction: The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms with business users is Abuja, Nigeria. For consumers, the mandatory statutory venues of their country of residence apply and are not overridden by this clause.
14.3 Severability / gap‑filling: If any provision of these Terms is or becomes invalid, or if these Terms contain a gap, the validity of the remaining provisions is not affected. The invalid provision or gap shall be replaced by a valid provision that most closely reflects the commercial intent and purpose of these Terms.
