By downloading, installing, accessing, or using Hushfield, you agree that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, located at https://hushfield.xyz/privacy/. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not download, install, access, or use the App.
About Hushfield
Hushfield is a mobile application designed to provide ambient soundscapes, background noise masking, and sound mixing features intended to support personal sleep, focus, relaxation, and overall auditory ambience.
Eligibility and Minimum Age
You must be at least 13 years of age (or the minimum legal age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher) to use Hushfield. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement. If you are under the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, you represent that you are using the App under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms.
License to Use Hushfield
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Hushfield grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install, and use one copy of the App on a mobile device that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use.
Except as expressly permitted in these Terms or by applicable law, you shall not:
- Copy, modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the App or any audio, artwork, visual elements, or content contained therein;
- Reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, decode, or otherwise attempt to derive or gain access to the source code of the App or any part thereof;
- Rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, assign, distribute, publish, transfer, or otherwise make available the App or any audio assets to any third party or public audience;
- Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary rights notices from the App or its content;
- Frame or mirror any part of the App without express written authorization.
Subscriptions and Billing
Hushfield offers certain features and content on a paid subscription basis ("Pro Access").
- Subscription Options: Subscriptions are offered on a recurring Monthly or Annual billing basis. We do not offer lifetime, family, enterprise, or direct credit card billing plans.
- Third-Party Payment Processing: All purchases, payments, and billing for Hushfield subscriptions are processed exclusively through the Apple App Store (for iOS devices) or Google Play Store (for Android devices), governed by the respective store's terms and billing policies. Hushfield does not collect, handle, or store your payment card numbers, banking information, or direct billing details.
- RevenueCat Service: We utilize RevenueCat, a third-party subscription management service, to validate purchase receipts, manage subscription entitlements, and grant access to Pro features.
Free Trials
- Eligibility and Duration: A 3-day free trial may be offered exclusively on the Annual subscription plan for eligible iOS users (where configured and made available via the Apple App Store). Free trials are not available on Monthly subscription plans or on non-eligible accounts or platforms.
- Trial Conversion: Unless cancelled at least 24 hours prior to the end of the 3-day free trial period, the trial will automatically convert into a paid, auto-renewing Annual subscription, and your Apple ID account will be charged the applicable Annual subscription fee.
Automatic Renewal
- Auto-Renewal Notice: All Hushfield subscriptions (Monthly and Annual) automatically renew at the end of each billing period (monthly or annually) unless cancelled by you at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing cycle.
- Billing Charge: Your Apple ID or Google Play account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current subscription period at the prevailing subscription rate shown at the time of purchase (or as updated in accordance with store policies).
Cancellation
- Store-Managed Cancellation: You may cancel your Hushfield subscription or free trial at any time through your Apple App Store or Google Play Store account settings:
- iOS: Open your device Settings → Tap your Apple ID → Subscriptions → Select Hushfield → Tap Cancel Subscription.
- Android: Open Google Play Store → Tap Profile Icon → Payments & Subscriptions → Subscriptions → Select Hushfield → Tap Cancel Subscription.
- Effect of Deleting the App: Deleting or uninstalling the Hushfield application from your device does not cancel your active subscription or free trial. You must cancel the subscription via your store account settings to stop future recurring charges.
- Access Following Cancellation: If you cancel your subscription, you will continue to have access to Pro features until the end of your current paid billing period or active trial period. Upon expiration, your access will revert to free-tier availability.
Refunds
- Store-Governed Refunds: Because all subscription transactions are processed by Apple or Google, all refund requests, chargebacks, and payment disputes are governed exclusively by the refund policies and procedures of the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
- No Direct Refunds: Hushfield does not process payments directly and cannot issue direct monetary refunds to users. If you seek a refund, you must submit your request directly to Apple or Google through their respective support channels.
Restore Purchases
If you reinstall Hushfield, switch devices on the same operating system platform, or lose access to Pro features while having an active subscription, you may restore your subscription using the "Restore Purchases" option available in the App's settings or paywall screen. Restoration requires an active internet connection and login to the Apple ID or Google Play account used for the original purchase.
Subscription Access
- Single Entitlement Model: Hushfield operates a single entitlement model (
hushfield_pro). Access to Pro content, premium soundscapes, and advanced mixing tools is granted on an all-or-nothing basis during active subscription terms. - Post-Expiration Access: Upon subscription expiration or cancellation, access to Pro soundscapes and premium features will be restricted. However, your locally created saved mixes, favorites, and settings will remain saved on your device and will become accessible again should you reactivate Pro Access.
