Terms & Conditions
Please review these terms carefully before downloading, installing, or using the HabitQR Android application or accessing our website at habitqr.netlify.app.
1. Acceptance of Terms
Binding agreement between user and Piyush Projects
By visiting habitqr.netlify.app, downloading the HabitQR Android package (.apk), installing, or utilizing the HabitQR software, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be legally bound by these Terms and Conditions and our accompanying Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must discontinue your use of our website and uninstall any installed copies of HabitQR immediately.
2. Software License & Permitted Use
Personal, non-commercial productivity licensePiyush Projects grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and execute HabitQR on compatible Android devices for your personal discipline, study focus, and time-management purposes.
Prohibited Activities:
- You may not repackage the HabitQR APK with malware, spyware, adware, or unauthorized monetized wrappers.
- You may not redistribute modified builds claiming official affiliation with Piyush Projects.
- You may not attack, scrape maliciously, or attempt denial-of-service exploits against our Netlify hosting or Firebase endpoints.
3. Direct APK Distribution & Sideloading
Security outside Google Play StoreHabitQR is distributed directly to students via direct APK download from our official website to bypass app store friction, avoid monetization locks, and remain completely ad-free.
Only download HabitQR from our verified Netlify domain (habitqr.netlify.app). Piyush Projects is not responsible for builds obtained from unauthorized third-party mirrors, modified APK directories, or untrusted file hosts.
When installing outside Google Play, Android displays default prompts such as "File might be harmful" or requests you to enable "Install Unknown Apps". These are automated Android OS security checks. HabitQR is built with verified code, zero tracking SDKs, and does not contain malware.
4. Alarm Reliability & Hardware Disclaimers
Crucial operational considerations for competitive exams
HabitQR utilizes Android's highest-priority alarm APIs (SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM, USAGE_ALARM audio attributes, and WakeLocks). However, operating system power-saving policies vary drastically across device manufacturers.
User Responsibilities for Zero Missed Alarms:
- Battery Optimization Exclusion: You must exclude HabitQR from battery management (e.g. set Battery Usage to "Unrestricted" on Samsung, Xiaomi MIUI/HyperOS, Oppo ColorOS, and OnePlus OxygenOS).
- Hardware Maintenance: You must ensure your device maintains sufficient battery power overnight, has speakers working, and is not physically powered off.
- No Liability for Missed Events: Piyush Projects and the developer shall under no circumstances be held liable if you sleep through an alarm, miss a coaching lecture, school exam, JEE/NEET paper, or job interview due to device battery exhaustion, third-party task killer apps, OS crashes, or user misconfiguration.
5. Anti-Cheat & Discipline Mechanics
Intentional friction designed to stimulate wakefulnessHabitQR intentionally integrates friction mechanics (including requiring scanning of registered physical QR barcodes, randomized arithmetic equations, anti-lazy liveness checks, and disabling clipboard paste events during quote typing challenges).
By using the application, you acknowledge that these constraints are deliberate core features engineered to awaken human cognitive alertness and break sleep inertia.
6. Google Analytics & Website Metrics
Transparency on web telemetry
Our website integrates Google Analytics 4 (Measurement ID: G-7GSEDZN48V) and Firebase anonymous telemetry. By browsing our website and downloading the APK through our portal, you consent to the collection and processing of anonymized traffic statistics and download confirmation events as outlined in our Privacy Policy.
7. Intellectual Property & Brand Assets
Ownership rights of Piyush ProjectsAll rights, titles, and interests in and to the HabitQR brand name, logo, neumorphic visual assets, application code, website design, and documentation are the exclusive intellectual property of Piyush Projects and its creators.
Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use HabitQR trademarks, logos, or brand collateral without explicit prior written consent from Piyush Projects.
8. Disclaimer of Warranties & Limitation of Liability
"As-Is" software provision and liability capsTo the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, in no event shall Piyush Projects, its developer, affiliates, or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages (including loss of time, missed academic examinations, academic rank outcomes, or hardware data loss) arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use HabitQR.
9. Governing Law, Modifications & Contact
Resolution and communication channelsWe reserve the right to revise or replace these Terms at our discretion. If a revision is substantial, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document. Continued use of the HabitQR application or website after changes take effect constitutes your agreement to the revised terms.
