Accepting these terms
Welcome to MellowCloud (the “App”), provided by ynglan.cn (“we” or “us”). By downloading, installing or using the App, you agree to these Terms of Use (the “Terms”) and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the App.
The service
The App helps you check in your mood on a seven-level scale, look back on how you’ve felt, and go on ColorWalks to find and photograph a color outdoors. It also offers Home Screen widgets, a daily reminder, writing to Apple Health, iCloud Sync and MellowCloud Pro. Features may vary by app version, device, iOS version and the permissions you grant, and we may reasonably improve, change or retire features.
Not a medical service
The App is for mood tracking, self-reflection and general reference only. It is not medical advice, counseling, diagnosis, treatment or crisis intervention, and it does not replace doctors, therapists or other professionals. Trends and statistics are for reference only.
If you are experiencing severe anxiety, depression, thoughts of self-harm or of harming others, or any other emergency, contact your local emergency number, a crisis line or a medical professional right away.
Eligibility
You must have the legal capacity to agree to these Terms. Minors should use the App with a guardian’s consent and guidance, and should get that consent before buying Pro. You are responsible for using the App in line with the laws where you live.
Your content and data
- The check-ins, notes, walk routes and photos you create (“Your Content”) belong to you; we claim no ownership.
- Your Content is stored on your device by default, and in your own private iCloud database if you turn on iCloud Sync. We cannot see it or recover it for you.
- Deleting the App, deleting all data, erasing or losing your device, or problems with iCloud or your Apple Account can lead to data loss. Please keep your own backups.
- Content you export, screenshot, share or save to Photos is yours to manage, along with any consequences.
- Make sure Your Content follows the law and respects the rights of others (for example, their privacy when you take photos).
MellowCloud Pro and subscriptions
MellowCloud Pro adds features such as iCloud Sync, alternate app icons, widget themes, custom walk colors and more photos per walk, as shown in the App. Pro is offered as a monthly subscription, a yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase.
- Prices are those shown by the App Store for your region. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase.
- Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Renewal is charged within 24 hours before the current period ends.
- Manage or cancel subscriptions in iOS Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions. After you cancel, Pro stays active until the end of the period you’ve paid for.
- Some plans may include a free trial or an offer price (such as an introductory or win-back offer), with conditions shown on the purchase screen. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
- The lifetime purchase is a one-time payment and does not renew.
- Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies; we cannot issue refunds directly. On a new device or after reinstalling, use “Restore Purchases” with the same Apple Account.
- When Pro ends, Pro features such as iCloud Sync stop working; records already on your device are not deleted.
Walking safely
ColorWalk involves walking outdoors. Stay aware of traffic and your surroundings, follow traffic rules, don’t look at your screen while walking, crossing streets or cycling, and never enter dangerous or restricted areas for a photo. Distance and routes come from location services and may be inaccurate; treat them as estimates.
Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use the App for anything illegal, infringing, harassing or fraudulent;
- reverse engineer, crack, modify or interfere with the App or its security, or bypass limits on paid features;
- use the App to spread malware or unlawful content;
- rely on the App for medical diagnosis, emergency response or other high-risk decisions.
Intellectual property
Except for Your Content and third-party material, the App’s name, logo, mascot, illustrations, interface design, text and code belong to us or our licensors. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the App on Apple devices you own or control. You may not copy, modify, distribute or commercially exploit any part of the App without our written permission.
Third-party services
The App relies on Apple services, including the App Store, StoreKit, iCloud, Apple Health, Maps, notifications and widgets, which Apple operates independently under its own terms and privacy policy. Because you get the App from the App Store, Apple’s Media Services Terms also apply; where these Terms conflict with Apple’s Standard License Agreement (EULA), the one more protective of you applies to the extent permitted by law. Apple is not a party to these Terms and has no obligation to maintain or support the App.
Changes and termination
We may change, suspend or end some or all features for upgrades, maintenance, legal requirements, changes to third-party services or other reasonable reasons, and will try to minimize the impact on you. If you break these Terms, we may limit your use of related features. You may stop using and delete the App at any time.
Disclaimer
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the App is provided “as is” and “as available”. We don’t guarantee that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that iCloud Sync, Apple Health writing, location, reminders and widget updates will always be timely and accurate—these also depend on your device, network, settings and the status of Apple’s services.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses, including data loss, arising from using or being unable to use the App. Our total liability to you is limited to the amount you actually paid for the App in the 12 months before the claim. Liability that cannot be limited by law is not affected.
Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms when features, laws or business needs change, and will post the current version and effective date on this page. Material changes will be communicated in the App or another reasonable way. Continuing to use the App after an update means you accept the updated Terms.
Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the People’s Republic of China, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes should first be resolved through friendly negotiation; failing that, they will be submitted to a competent people’s court. This does not affect any consumer rights you have under the mandatory laws where you live.
