Terms of Use and Refunds

Effective date: 9 November 2026

Who we are

PaceTasks and DeskFocus are made by Bilge Ozcanbaz, an individual developer based in Padova, Italy. Contact: pacetasks@bilgalog.dev. By using either app you agree to these terms; how we handle your data is in the privacy policy.

Using the apps

• You may use PaceTasks and DeskFocus for your own planning, at home or at work.
• You need to be at least 16 years old.
• Don't try to reach other people's data, disrupt the service, or get around limits such as Brain Dump's fair-use limit.
• An account is optional. If you create one, keep access to its email address or Apple ID, because that is how you sign in and connect your devices.

Your content

The tasks and text you add are yours. We use them only to run the apps, as the privacy policy describes, and you can delete them at any time from inside the apps.

PaceTasks Pro

• Some features need Pro. The price, what Pro includes and, for a subscription, how often it renews are shown before you buy.
• Pro belongs to your PaceTasks account, so it works on every device you connect to that account.
• A subscription renews automatically until you cancel it. Cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date: on iPhone in Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions; for a Paddle purchase, from the link in your Paddle receipt. Pro stays active until the end of the period you paid for.

Where you buy

• App Store (iPhone). Apple sells Pro and takes the payment. Apple's Media Services Terms apply alongside these terms.
• Paddle (Mac, later). Once Pro can be bought on Mac, Paddle.com sells it as merchant of record: it takes the payment, handles tax and sends the receipt. Paddle's buyer terms apply alongside these terms.

Refunds within 14 days

If Pro isn't right for you, you can have your money back for any reason within 14 days of being charged, for a first purchase or a renewal. How to ask depends on where you bought it.

Bought on the App Store

Apple handles every App Store payment and refund, so we can't send the money back ourselves. Within 14 days, open reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in with your Apple ID, choose Request a refund and pick the PaceTasks purchase. Apple makes the final decision and tells you by email. If you have trouble, write to us and we will help with your request.

Bought through Paddle

Within 14 days, write to pacetasks@bilgalog.dev with your order number from the Paddle receipt, or ask Paddle directly at paddle.net. Paddle returns the full amount to the payment method you used.

After a refund

Pro ends on all your devices once the refund goes through. Your tasks and settings stay as they are, and the free features keep working.

This policy adds to your rights as a consumer and never limits them, including any right to withdraw from a purchase under the law of the country where you live.

Changes to the apps

We keep improving PaceTasks and DeskFocus, so features may change. We work to keep both apps available and working, but we can't promise they will always be free of errors or interruptions.

Liability

The apps help you plan; they can't promise how your day turns out. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law does not allow us to limit, such as for intent or gross negligence, or your statutory rights as a consumer, including the legal guarantee that digital content works as described.

Ending

You can stop using the apps at any time and delete your data as the privacy policy explains. We may suspend an account that breaks these terms, after telling you why when we can. A suspension never takes away a refund you are owed.

Law

These terms are governed by Italian law. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you can bring a claim before its courts.

Changes

If these terms change, the new version is published on this page with a new effective date. For a change that matters to you, such as one about Pro or refunds, the apps will tell you before it takes effect.
