Version: 1.0.0 Effective: 2026-10-02
These Terms govern your use of the SleepAnchor Android app ("the App"), provided by Durdeu Vlad-Ioan (dwurdy), Romania ("we", "us"). By installing or using the App you accept these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App. These Terms are drafted to include the pre-contractual information required for distance contracts under Romanian consumer law.1 All legal references are collected in the footnotes and the Legal basis & references annex.
SleepAnchor is a personal sleep-routine tool that helps you keep a consistent bedtime through gentle interventions, reminders, and morning check-ins. It is distributed via Google Play, including through closed testing tracks. The App is free of charge, displays no advertising, and offers no in-app purchases; no account is required for core functionality.
Withdrawal right (digital content): where a statutory right of withdrawal would otherwise apply to this distance contract, by installing and starting to use the App you expressly consent to supply/performance beginning immediately and acknowledge that you thereby lose that right — the digital-content exception in Directive 2011/83/EU art. 16(m), transposed in Romania by OUG no. 34/2014 art. 16.2 (The App is free of charge, so this primarily matters for completeness rather than refunds.)
You must be 18 or older to use the App. By using it you confirm you meet this requirement. The App is not directed at children and does not rely on child-consent mechanisms under GDPR Article 8.3
SleepAnchor is a wellness and routine-support tool. It is not a medical device — it is not intended for a medical purpose within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2017/7454 — does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition, and provides no medical advice. Sleep data shown is approximate. If you have concerns about your sleep or health, consult a qualified healthcare professional. Do not disregard medical advice because of anything in the App. This disclaimer wording follows the one Google Play requires for health-related apps that are not declared medical devices.5
During closed testing the App is pre-release software:
Nothing in this section removes the statutory rights described in Section 10.
The App requests Android permissions to deliver its core function. Granting them is voluntary; the App degrades gracefully if declined:
The App works without an account. If you enable accountability or community features, an anonymous Firebase account is created with your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)).3 You may share check-in results (feeling, approximate sleep duration) with one partner you invite — only with your explicit consent, revocable at any time. Separately, opting in to community sharing uploads a one-time anonymous stats snapshot (the previous 7 days' usage totals, monitored-app count, and the names of your top-3 most-used monitored apps) that feeds a public aggregate trends snapshot — the Community screen states this before you opt in, and opting out deletes your stats.
You can delete your account and associated cloud data via the in-app deletion path (being rolled out during the beta), via the account-deletion web page [DELETE-ACCOUNT PAGE — hosted legal-docs URL to be inserted before public listing], or at any time via support@dwurdy.com — Google Play's account deletion policy requires both an in-app deletion path and a web link resource for apps that enable account creation.8
You agree not to use invite codes to harass others, and not to misuse the App in ways that violate law or third-party rights.
Your use is governed by the Privacy Policy. Local data stays on your device; cloud features are opt-in as described there.
Feedback you provide (bug reports, suggestions, survey answers) may be used to improve the App without compensation or attribution.
The App, its design, code, and content are our property. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the App for its intended purpose.
The App is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, to the maximum extent permitted by law. We are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, missed alarms or notifications caused by device settings, battery management, OS behavior, or network conditions, or decisions you make based on the App's content.
Consumer carve-out: nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, or your statutory consumer rights in the EU/Romania. In particular: (a) contract terms that purport to waive or restrict rights granted by Romanian consumer law are not binding on you (OUG no. 34/2014, art. 25);1 and (b) to the extent the App is digital content or a digital service supplied to you as a consumer, the statutory conformity requirements and remedies of OUG no. 141/2021, which transposes Directive (EU) 2019/770, remain unaffected — including where the "price" you provide is personal data rather than money.9
You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it and deleting your account (if created). We may suspend or end access for breach of these Terms or end the beta program at our discretion.
We may update these Terms; material changes are announced in-app or via the testing channel. Continued use after notice constitutes acceptance.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Romania. Disputes fall to the courts of Romania, without prejudice to: (a) the protection afforded to you as a consumer by provisions that cannot be derogated from by agreement under the law of your habitual residence (Rome I Regulation, art. 6(2));10 and (b) your right under Brussels Ia to bring proceedings in the courts of the EU member state where you are domiciled (arts. 17–19).11
Trader identity, postal address, and telephone/email details are required pre-contractual information for distance contracts under OUG no. 34/2014, art. 6(1).1
