Last Updated: 2026-03-31

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of the ZenMonkey app, website, and related services (collectively, the “Services”) provided by iiisle Studio (“ZenMonkey”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).

By accessing or using ZenMonkey, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use ZenMonkey.

1. About ZenMonkey

ZenMonkey is a mindfulness and meditation practice app designed to help users:

  • start and track meditation or mindfulness sessions
  • record calmness and reflections after practice
  • review practice history and statistics
  • optionally integrate with Apple platform services such as Apple Health and iCloud

ZenMonkey is intended to support personal practice and reflection.

It is not intended to function as a medical service, emergency service, or substitute for professional healthcare.

2. Eligibility and Acceptable Use

You may use ZenMonkey only if you are legally permitted to do so under the laws of your jurisdiction.

By using ZenMonkey, you agree that you will not:

  • use the app for unlawful purposes
  • interfere with the operation or security of the Services
  • attempt to reverse engineer, exploit, disrupt, or damage the app
  • misuse Apple platform integrations or related services
  • use the Services in a way that violates applicable laws or regulations

You are responsible for using ZenMonkey in a lawful and appropriate manner.

3. Use of the App

ZenMonkey provides a personal wellness and reflection experience. Depending on available features, you may be able to:

  • start free-form or timed meditation sessions
  • save practice records
  • rate your calmness after practice
  • write personal notes
  • review your historical practice data
  • connect with supported Apple ecosystem features

We may add, remove, improve, limit, or discontinue features at any time.

In other words: software evolves. Sometimes gloriously, sometimes inconveniently.

4. Health and Wellness Disclaimer

This section matters. A lot.

ZenMonkey is designed for mindfulness, wellness, and habit support only.

4.1 Not Medical Advice

ZenMonkey does not provide:

  • medical advice
  • mental health diagnosis

  • emergency or crisis support

Any information, trends, reflections, summaries, or wellness-related insights shown in ZenMonkey are for general informational and self-reflection purposes only.

4.2 Not a Substitute for Professional Care

ZenMonkey is not a substitute for professional medical, psychiatric, psychological, or therapeutic care.

If you have concerns about your physical health, heart rate, stress, mental health, emotional well-being, or any medical condition, you should seek help from a qualified healthcare professional.

  • Apple App Store purchase services

If you choose to enable those integrations, you are responsible for reviewing and managing the relevant permissions and settings on your Apple devices.

  • unlawful

We are not responsible for the meaning, usefulness, legality, or consequences of the content you choose to enter into the app.

Yes, that includes the note you wrote at 1:17 a.m. after “a profound session.”

7. Purchases, Subscriptions, and Billing

ZenMonkey may offer paid features, subscriptions, trials, or premium access.

If so, the following terms apply unless otherwise stated in the app.

7.1 Apple Billing

All purchases and subscriptions made through the iOS app are processed by Apple through the App Store.

We do not directly process your payment card information.

Any actual billing for App Store subscriptions is governed by Apple’s platform terms.

8. Intellectual Property

ZenMonkey and all related elements of the Services are protected by intellectual property laws.

This includes, without limitation:

  • app design

  • features and functionality

Unless explicitly permitted by law or by us in writing, you may not:

  • copy
  • reproduce

any part of ZenMonkey for commercial or unauthorized purposes.

The monkey may look peaceful. The legal rights are not.

9. Feedback

If you send us suggestions, ideas, bug reports, feature requests, or feedback about ZenMonkey, you agree that we may use that feedback to improve the product without obligation to compensate you.

This does not mean we own your personal notes or meditation reflections.
It only applies to feedback you provide about the product itself.

10. Availability and Changes

We aim to keep ZenMonkey available and useful, but we do not guarantee that the Services will always be:

  • uninterrupted
  • error-free
  • bug-free
  • secure
  • compatible with every device or OS version forever

We may at any time:

  • update the app
  • modify features
  • restrict certain functionality
  • discontinue parts of the Services
  • pause availability for maintenance, security, or operational reasons

That’s standard software reality, not betrayal.

11. Data Loss and Backup Responsibility

While we aim to provide a reliable experience, you acknowledge that digital systems can fail.

ZenMonkey is not responsible for loss of data resulting from:

  • device failure
  • operating system issues
  • Apple platform outages
  • permission changes
  • sync failures
  • accidental deletion
  • unsupported device states
  • other events outside our reasonable control

If a piece of data matters deeply to you, assume the universe is chaotic and back it up when possible.

12. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ZenMonkey is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding:

  • merchantability
  • fitness for a particular purpose
  • non-infringement
  • uninterrupted availability
  • complete accuracy of app output, summaries, or wellness insights

We do not guarantee that ZenMonkey will meet every expectation, workflow, spiritual aspiration, or Apple ecosystem edge case.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, iiisle Studio and ZenMonkey will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or related to your use of the Services.

This includes, without limitation:

  • loss of data
  • lost profits
  • device issues
  • service interruptions
  • reliance on app content
  • wellness or health-related interpretations
  • subscription or sync-related issues caused by third-party platforms

Where liability cannot be excluded under applicable law, our liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to ZenMonkey or certain features if:

  • you violate these Terms
  • continued access creates legal, security, or operational risk
  • required platform services become unavailable
  • we discontinue a feature or service

You may stop using ZenMonkey at any time.

Termination does not erase any rights or obligations that have already arisen under these Terms.

15. Privacy

Your use of ZenMonkey is also governed by our Privacy Policy.

Please review it here:

Privacy Policy:
https://iiisle.studio/zenmonkey/privacy

If these Terms tell you what the rules are, the Privacy Policy tells you how the data side works.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time.

If we make material changes, we may update the “Last Updated” date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice through the app or website.

Your continued use of ZenMonkey after updated Terms become effective means you accept the revised Terms.

17. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable to the operation of ZenMonkey and iiisle Studio, except where consumer protection or mandatory local laws in your jurisdiction require otherwise.

If you’re shipping globally, this clause should stay broad unless you later want to localize legal terms by region.
