These terms and conditions (hereinafter ‘Terms’) are applicable to all services and documentation provided by Hormona, including through the Hormona App (hereinafter ‘App’) and the Hormona website hormona.io, (‘Hormona Services’) to our customers (hereinafter ‘you’).
The Hormona Services are owned and operated by Wlness Science LTD, located at The Old Rectory, Church Street, Weybridge, Surrey, England. KT13 8DE (12944590), and our subsidiary Wlness Science Sweden AB, located at Birger Jarlsgatan 57 C 113 56 Stockholm (559440-1019), hereinafter referred to as ‘Hormona’, ‘we’, ‘our’.

Please read these Terms, along with the privacy policy and cookie policy carefully before using the Hormona Services. By downloading our app, and creating an account, or using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not create an account or use our services. This is a legally binding contract.
You must be at least eighteen (18) years old to accept these Terms and use our services, whether on your own behalf or on behalf of another user. If a minor (individual below the age stated above) uses our services, we provide such on the basis of the deemed consent of their parent or legal guardian, both to these Terms and to the use of our services. Such consent is obtained when an account is created prior to use of the functions. The parent or guardian takes full responsibility for the minor’s use of Hormona’s services.
Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not immediately insist that you agree, you are required to do so under these terms. If we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, you must still adhere to the conditions for breach of this contract, and it will not prevent us from taking steps against you at a later date. These terms are governed by English Law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts.
Each section of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining sections apply.
Please note that these Terms may be updated or amended from time to time. It is your responsibility to check these Terms periodically for changes.
You will be notified via email or the app regarding non-minor changes which may affect you. We will inform you that it is important to object if you do not approve of the changes.
If we do not get such an objection within thirty (30) days after change(s) have been communicated, your approval will be assumed. We will also assume that you accept the changes where you enter into an agreement for the services with us, by, for example, continuing to use Hormona Services after the new conditions have been released.
The most current version will be posted on our app and website, with an indication of when it has been last updated.
All copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos and other intellectual or industrial property rights in the Hormona Services made available throughout the world belong to us. The rights in the App and Services are licenced to you. You have no intellectual property rights in, or to, the App or Services other than the right to use them in accordance with these Terms.
You may not use our exclusive property for commercial or any other purposes without our written consent.
‘Account’ means the account that you register and create in the Hormona App.
‘App’ means the Hormona App, accessible via a smartphone device.
‘Functions’ mean our website, app, your account and services, jointly.
‘Privacy Policy’ means our Privacy Policy which describes how we collect, process and store your personal data.
‘Services’ means the services described under the section ‘Services’ below, which have been made available through the website, and our app, along with any such other related goods, equipment, services and information made available to you.

Our services are designed to provide general information about women’s health and hormone health, and related topics. The app collects the data you enter, for example on menstrual cycles, physical activities, symptoms, and other data about the body. These data allow statistical and algorithmic data processing that can show you patterns in your menstrual cycle.
Our app is for self-management, meaning the services are based on the data you provide, so the information and analysis available in the app depends on the amount and accuracy of the input you choose to provide.
The Hormona Services provide information for general health and wellbeing purposes only. For medical advice that addresses your specific, individual needs, please always consult a qualified medical healthcare professional.
When using Hormona Services, you agree to use the respective service only for the intended purposes as described in these Terms.
In order to provide our services, we reserve the right to display advertisements on our website and in our app.
The App can be acquired free of charge from the relevant app store (iOS Apple App Store, or Android Google Play Store). In the app, we offer some functions and content free of charge (hereinafter ‘Hormona Freemium’), while access to more extensive functions and content is paid for (hereinafter ‘Hormona Plus’). You can purchase paid services, such as Hormona Plus from within the App.
Hormona exists as an online service only. To use our services, you need to create an account. This requires acceptance of these Terms, to process data in accordance with our Privacy Policy, including all documents, declarations and consents included therein by reference.
Furthermore, you will need to provide a username, email address and a personalised password (at least eight (8) Characters, one (1) letter and one (1) number). Other information can be provided as part of onboarding in order to personalise your Hormona experience. Your account creation is completed when you click on the link in the confirmation email sent to your email address, confirming your account.
Alternatively, you can create an account using your Apple or Google login details, which automatically transfers your relevant personal information.
You are not allowed to transfer your account to others, and you may only sign up to one (1) account.
We use anonymised information from your usage of our Services so that we can continue to improve them. We process personal information for this purpose also as set out in our Privacy Policy, which you consent to when you create an account. By creating an account and using our Services, you grant us permission to use your anonymised information to improve our services.
Within our app, we offer certain features and enhanced functionality as Paid Services. These are referred to as Hormona Plus. These services are tied to a subscription. Therefore, you will be charged once in the duration period of your subscription (for instance once per month, or once per year). Our subscription will be renewed for an indefinite time at the end of your initial subscription period with us.
You can find an overview of the subscription benefits included in the menu of the app. These may change from time to time, as we introduce new features, develop our existing offering and retire features that haven’t worked out as planned. The features and content contained in Paid Services may differ by country and language.
The price for paid services is shown in the relevant app store (iOS Apple App Store or Android Google Play Store) and on the buy screen in-app prior to purchase. Like our app, paid services are only available via the third-party platform operators (Apple App Store and Google Play Store), therefore, when you make a purchase within our app, you may additionally enter into a separate contract with the respective third-party service provider of the app store, whose Terms and conditions may apply.
Once payment has been made, the services will be available and ready to order as instructed in the App. If payment cannot be collected, we will be entitled to block access to the relevant paid services.
By agreeing to these Terms, you acknowledge and agree that you have the financial responsibility for all Paid Services purchased from your account.
We may provide access to Paid Services as part of a free trial, followed by a subscription. We shall not take any charges until the expiry of the free trial period and the commencement of the subscription period. If you cancel your subscription during your free trial period, we will not charge you for the subscription and your access to Paid Services will end at the end of your free trial period.
The services shall be ordered in accordance with instructions in the App. Confirmation of your order will take place when we email you and/or send you a confirmation in the App, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.
During the order process we will let you know when and where we will provide the services.
From time to time, we may automatically update the app and change the service to improve performance, enhance functionality, reflect changes to the operating system or address security issues. Alternatively, we may ask you to update the App for these reasons.
If you choose not to install such an update, or if you opt out of automatic updates you may not be able to continue using the App and Services.
We offer our services to individuals acting as consumers (as defined under applicable local law). You may only use Hormona for your own private purposes.
