03 — Description of the service

What norte is

norte is a habit-tracking application designed to help You build consistent routines. Key characteristics of the Service:

04 — Subscriptions & payments

Premium plans

Subscription plans

The Application offers optional premium features through Subscription plans (monthly, annual, or lifetime, as made available from time to time). Pricing and available plans are displayed within the Application at the time of purchase.

Billing & renewal

All billing is processed exclusively by the Application Store through which You downloaded the Application, using the payment method on file with that store. The Developer does not directly process or store any payment information. Recurring subscriptions are automatically renewed at the end of each billing period unless You cancel before the renewal date.

Subscription management & cancellation

You may manage, pause, or cancel Your Subscription at any time through Your Application Store account settings:

Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No pro-rated refunds are issued for partial periods, except as required by applicable law or Application Store policies.

Free trials

When a free trial is offered, it begins when You initiate the trial. Unless You cancel before the trial period ends, it will automatically convert to a paid Subscription and Your Application Store payment method will be charged.

Lifetime purchases

If You purchase a “lifetime” license, that license grants You the right to use the Application in its form as of the purchase date. “Lifetime” refers to the continued availability of the Service and does not guarantee perpetual access. The Developer reserves the right to discontinue the Service; no refunds or compensation will be provided for unused portions of a lifetime license upon discontinuation.

Price changes

The Developer reserves the right to modify Subscription prices at any time. Price changes will be communicated through the Application Store and/or in-app notice before they take effect for Your renewal period.

05 — Data collection & analytics

What we measure

While Your habit data is local-only, the Application collects limited technical information to operate and improve the Service.

Analytics (Firebase Analytics)

We use Google Firebase Analytics to collect aggregated, anonymized information about how users interact with the Application — such as which features are used, session durations, and navigation patterns. No personally identifiable information is tied to these analytics events.

Crash reporting (Firebase Crashlytics)

We use Firebase Crashlytics to automatically collect crash reports when the Application encounters an error. These reports include device model, OS version, and a stack trace of the crash. This data is used solely to diagnose and fix bugs.

Subscription management (RevenueCat)

We use RevenueCat to manage in-app purchases and Subscription entitlements. RevenueCat receives an anonymous App Store or Google Play purchase token and subscription status to verify that premium features are unlocked on Your Device. RevenueCat does not receive Your habit data. For details, see RevenueCat's Privacy Policy at revenuecat.com/privacy.

No sale of data

We do not sell, rent, or share Your data with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.

For a full description of our data practices and your rights under the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD), please read our Privacy Policy.

06 — Intellectual property

What we own, what you may do

The Application, including its design, graphics, code, and content, is the exclusive property of the Developer and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable intellectual property laws.

We grant You a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Application on Your Device for personal, non-commercial purposes, subject to these Terms.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, reverse-engineer, decompile, or create derivative works based on the Application, in whole or in part, without prior written consent.

07 — Acceptable use

Play fair

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes. You agree not to:

08 — Third-party services

What we integrate

The Application integrates third-party services to deliver its functionality. Your use of the Application may be subject to the terms and privacy policies of the following providers:

The Developer has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of these third-party services.

09 — “As is” disclaimer

No warranties

The Service is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

The Developer does not warrant that: (i) the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free; (ii) results obtained from use of the Service will be accurate or reliable; or (iii) any errors in the Service will be corrected.

norte is a productivity tool. It does not constitute health, medical, or psychological advice.

10 — Limitation of liability

What we're not on the hook for

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Developer shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including loss of data, loss of profits, or loss of habit streaks — arising out of or relating to Your use of or inability to use the Service.

Because Your data is stored locally on Your Device, the Developer bears no liability for any loss of habit data resulting from device failure, deletion, theft, OS update, or any other cause beyond our control.

The total aggregate liability of the Developer for any claim related to the Service shall not exceed the amount You paid for the Service in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or BRL 50 if You have not made any such payment.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain liability exclusions. In such cases, the above limitations apply to the greatest extent permitted by law.

11 — Termination

Stopping

You may stop using the Application and delete it from Your Device at any time. To cancel a paid Subscription, see Section 4.

The Developer may suspend or terminate Your access to the Service immediately, without prior notice, if You breach these Terms or if required by law. Upon termination, Your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Deleting the Application from Your Device will remove all Local Data.

12 — Governing law & dispute resolution

Brazilian law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil, including the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD — Law No. 13,709/2018) and the Código de Defesa do Consumidor (CDC — Law No. 8,078/1990), without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

If You have a concern or dispute about the Service, You agree to first contact us at hi@thenorte.app and attempt to resolve the issue informally within 30 days.

If informal resolution fails, disputes shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the city of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, Brazil.

Brazilian consumers retain all rights granted under the CDC and LGPD regardless of any provision in these Terms.

13 — Changes

Updates to these terms

The Developer reserves the right to update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via an in-app notice or by updating the “Last updated” date at the top of this page at least 15 days before taking effect, as required by Brazilian consumer law.

Your continued use of the Application after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes acceptance of the changes. If You do not agree to the updated Terms, You must stop using the Application.

14 — Severability & waiver

Boilerplate that matters

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and all remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

The failure of the Developer to enforce any right or provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
