Terms of Service

Last updated: February 18, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Pulse application and website (the "Service") operated by Pulse ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under 18, you represent that you have your parent or guardian's consent to use the Service. By creating an account, you represent that the information you provide is accurate and that you are legally permitted to use the Service.

2. Your Account

You create an account by verifying your phone number via SMS. You are responsible for maintaining access to the phone number associated with your account and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately if you believe your account has been compromised.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that have been inactive for an extended period, with reasonable notice.

3. SMS Communications

By providing your phone number, you consent to receive SMS messages from Pulse for the purpose of account authentication. You understand and agree that:

  • You will receive one (1) SMS message per sign-in attempt containing a verification code.
  • SMS messages are used for authentication only — we do not send marketing or promotional messages.
  • Message and data rates may apply based on your carrier plan. Pulse does not charge for SMS messages.
  • You may stop receiving SMS messages by deleting your account. SMS is required for authentication and cannot be opted out of while maintaining an active account.
  • SMS delivery is provided by Twilio. Delivery is subject to your carrier's network availability.
  • For help with SMS, contact us at support@getpulse.app. Reply STOP to any message to opt out. Reply HELP for help.

4. The Service

Pulse is an AI-powered task management application. The Service provides tools including task capture, AI-powered task parsing and organization, focus mode, project management, and behavioral pattern learning. The Service is provided "as is" and we make no guarantees about the accuracy, reliability, or suitability of AI-generated suggestions.

AI features (brain dump parsing, task decomposition, focus suggestions, project grouping) are powered by third-party AI services and are intended as helpful suggestions, not professional advice. You are responsible for reviewing and deciding whether to act on any AI-generated content.

5. Your Content

You retain full ownership of all content you create in the Service, including tasks, projects, notes, and brain dump text ("Your Content"). By using the Service, you grant us a limited license to store, process, and display Your Content solely for the purpose of providing and improving the Service.

You are responsible for Your Content. You agree not to use the Service to store or transmit content that is illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, or otherwise objectionable.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its systems
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service or servers
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service
  • Use automated scripts or bots to access the Service
  • Impersonate another person or entity
  • Use the Service to send spam or unsolicited messages
  • Circumvent any rate limits, security features, or access controls

7. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, code, features, branding, and AI models (excluding Your Content), is owned by Pulse and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works based on the Service without our written permission.

8. Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect your information. By using the Service, you consent to our data practices as described in the Privacy Policy.

9. Disclaimers

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, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Pulse is a productivity tool, not a medical device or therapeutic service. The Service is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment for ADHD, autism, or any other condition. Always seek the advice of qualified health providers with any questions regarding a medical condition.

We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any defects will be corrected. AI-generated suggestions may be inaccurate or unhelpful and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for any decision.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PULSE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY.

Our total liability to you for any claims arising from or related to the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or fifty dollars ($50), whichever is greater.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Pulse and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of another party.

12. Termination

You may terminate your account at any time by deleting it through the Service settings or by contacting us. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time for violation of these Terms, with notice where practicable.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. We will delete your data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting a notice within the Service. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree with the updated Terms, you should stop using the Service.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States. Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.
