Terms of use
Short version: Nonyxa is a daily photo check-in that helps you quit nail biting. Use it honestly, keep your photos yours, don't try to break it, and remember it's a habit tool — not a doctor. Using the site or the app means you agree to what's below. Here's the detail.
What Nonyxa is
These terms cover two things: this website and the Nonyxa iOS app. Once a day the app has you photograph both hands, finds your ten fingertips, and asks you to swipe each one clean or damaged. Honest days build a streak. That's the product: a self-tracking ritual.
What it costs
The core of Nonyxa is free: the daily check-in, your streaks, and your full check-in history don't cost anything. A subscription — Nonyxa Pro — unlocks the detailed tracking: comparing any two days one finger at a time, and watching each nail heal on its own recovery chart. You'll always see the price up front before you pay, and if a plan comes with a free trial we'll say so plainly — we won't charge you without making the cost clear first.
Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, offered as a monthly or yearly plan and billed through your Apple ID. Here's exactly how that works:
- Payment is charged to your App Store account when you confirm the purchase, at the price shown on the paywall.
- The subscription renews automatically — and your account is charged for the next period — within 24 hours before the current period ends, unless you've cancelled by then.
- You can manage or cancel it any time in your App Store subscription settings. Cancelling turns off the next renewal; Pro stays active through the time you've already paid for.
- If a plan comes with a free trial, the trial becomes a paid subscription unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends, and any unused trial time is forfeited the moment you buy a subscription.
- Purchases and refunds are handled by Apple, so refund requests go through the App Store — but you can always email us at team@nonyxa.com and we'll point you the right way.
Who can use it
You need to be at least 13 years old (or the higher minimum age your country sets for digital services). If you make an account, keep your login to yourself — what happens under your account is on you, so tell us at team@nonyxa.com if you think someone else got in.
Your photos and your data
Your hand photos are yours. We don't claim ownership of anything you capture in the app. You give us only the narrow permission we need to run the service — storing your photos and check-ins so the app can show you your own history and streaks. We never publish your photos, sell them, or use them for advertising. How data is handled in detail lives on the privacy page, and you can have your account and everything in it deleted by emailing team@nonyxa.com.
Not medical advice
Nonyxa is a habit-tracking tool, not a medical device, and nothing in the app or on this site is medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The clean/damaged verdicts are your own judgment of your own photos. If nail biting is causing you pain, infection, or real distress — or it's part of something bigger you're struggling with — please talk to a doctor or a mental-health professional. The app is a companion to quitting, not a substitute for care.
Playing fair
Things you agree not to do:
- Break the law with it, or upload photos of anyone who hasn't agreed to be photographed.
- Probe, overload, or interfere with the service, or try to get at other people's data or accounts.
- Copy, scrape, resell, or rebrand the app, the site, or their content as your own.
- Reverse-engineer the app, except where the law says we can't stop you.
What's ours
The app, the site, the Nonyxa name and mark, and the design and code behind them belong to us. We give you a personal, non-transferable license to use the app for its intended purpose — tracking your own habit. That license isn't a sale, and it ends if your account does.
Early days
Nonyxa is young and built by a small team, so the honest framing is: the service is provided as is. Features will change, things will occasionally break, and we may pause or retire parts of the service. We work hard to not lose your data, but you shouldn't treat the app as the only copy of anything irreplaceable. We don't promise uninterrupted or error-free operation, and we disclaim the implied warranties the law lets us disclaim.
Limits on liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we're not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages from using (or being unable to use) Nonyxa, and our total liability for anything arising out of these terms is capped at the amount you've paid us in the past twelve months. Some places don't allow these limits, in which case they apply only as far as local law permits. None of this limits liability that can't legally be limited.
From the App Store
Because you install Nonyxa from the App Store, Apple requires terms like these to spell out a few specific things. So, plainly:
- These terms are between you and Nonyxa — not Apple. Apple isn't a party to them and isn't responsible for the app or its content.
- Your license is for using the app on Apple-branded devices you own or control, plus whatever the App Store's own usage rules (the Apple Media Services Terms) allow — Family Sharing, for instance.
- Maintenance and support are on us, not Apple: Apple has no obligation whatsoever to provide any maintenance or support for the app. If you need help, email team@nonyxa.com.
- If the app ever fails to conform to a warranty that applies to it, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund what you paid for the app. That refund is the full extent of Apple's warranty obligations; everything else about warranties is between you and us, under these terms.
- Claims about the app — product liability, failure to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, consumer-protection or similar claims — are ours to address, not Apple's. The same goes if someone claims the app infringes their intellectual property: investigating, defending, and resolving that claim is our responsibility.
- You confirm you're not located in a country under a U.S. government embargo or designated as "terrorist supporting," and that you're not on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- When using the app you'll also comply with any third-party terms that apply to you — your mobile carrier's data agreement, for example.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms: once you accept them, Apple has the right to enforce them against you.
Ending things
You can stop using Nonyxa any time, and you can have your account and data deleted by emailing team@nonyxa.com. We can suspend or close accounts that break these terms — if that ever seems to have happened to you by mistake, email us and a person will actually look at it.
Changes to these terms
If we change these terms in a way that matters — like changing what Pro costs — we'll update this page and flag the change in the app or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use Nonyxa after a change means you accept the new terms; if you don't, stop using the service and ask us to delete your account.
The legal frame
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States, and disputes belong in the courts there — unless the consumer law where you live gives you rights and venues we can't override, in which case you keep them. If a court finds part of these terms unenforceable, the rest still stands.
Questions
Nonyxa is the developer of the app, and any questions, complaints, or claims about it should come to team@nonyxa.com. A real person reads it.
