Terms of use.

Provider and app license

Pond and this website are provided by AKRO-in. d.o.o., Ankaranska cesta 5C, 6000 Koper – Capodistria, Slovenia. Contact: hello@usepond.app.

When distributed through Apple’s App Store, the app is licensed under Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement, unless a custom license is explicitly supplied in the store listing. These terms explain Pond’s services and website. They do not reduce the license or mandatory consumer protections. If there is a conflict about the app license, the applicable Apple license governs that license.

Using Pond

Use Pond lawfully and respect other people’s privacy and rights. You must be at least 16 and legally able to agree to these terms, or have any consent required by applicable law. Keep your device secure.

Do not use the app to harm others, violate the law, infringe intellectual property or bypass technical protections. You are responsible for the information you provide and for how you use the answers. You retain your rights in your own content. Pond does not require a broad license to publish your private conversations.

AI can get things wrong

Pond generates text, not guaranteed facts. Answers can be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated or unsuitable for your situation. Check important information and use your judgment. Pond is not a substitute for a qualified professional or an emergency service.

Do not rely on it as the sole basis for medical, legal, financial or other consequential decisions. If you face an emergency, contact the appropriate emergency service.

Devices, connections and availability

Pond requires iOS 26 or later, a compatible Apple Intelligence iPhone and an available on-device model. Language, region, device settings and Apple’s availability rules can affect use. Core chat can work offline once the model is ready; downloads, search, weather and online services need internet access.

Optional Calendar and Reminders access is read-only and requires permission. Search and weather involve third-party providers, with their own terms and availability. Their information may be incomplete or change. You can revoke device permissions.

We may improve or change the app and website. We do not promise uninterrupted availability or that every future feature will work on every device. Material changes affecting paid entitlements remain subject to applicable consumer rights. Read our privacy policy for data handling.

A virtual pond and a qualified estimate

Pond progression is a virtual experience. It has no cash value, is not a financial asset and does not represent real habitat restoration. It records local activity; it is not guaranteed account-synced storage. Protect your device and consider how backup and restore settings affect your data.

The cloud-water scenario is a research-based estimate with stated assumptions, not measured savings or current provider telemetry. It assumes replacement of comparable cloud use and does not subtract local phone impact. It does not establish overall environmental superiority. The method and source explain the calculation.

Purchases and subscriptions

No subscription or price is offered on this website at this time. If a future App Store release offers purchases, the store purchase screen will show the price, term, renewal conditions and any trial before you agree.

Apple handles App Store payments. Manage an Apple subscription in your Apple account settings; deleting the app does not cancel one. Any paid release must disclose its terms before purchase. For eligible App Store refunds, use Apple’s refund service. Nothing here limits statutory refund or cancellation rights.

Ownership, responsibility and your rights

Pond’s name, artwork, app and website are protected by applicable intellectual-property law. You may use the app under its license; you may not redistribute our brand assets or software without permission except where law allows it.

To the extent permitted by law, we do not guarantee that AI output will be correct or fit a particular purpose. Liability is governed by applicable law and the app’s license. We do not exclude liability that cannot legally be excluded, including mandatory consumer rights or liability for intentional misconduct.

Slovenian law governs these terms, subject to mandatory protections in your country of residence. Consumers retain any right to bring a claim in a competent local court; these terms do not require exclusive litigation in Slovenia.

We will publish updated terms here with a new date and give additional notice when required. Material changes do not retrospectively remove accrued rights. For questions or concerns, contact us.
