We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. We will notify you of material changes through the App or other appropriate means.

2.2 Optional Feedback Feature
sMoment includes an optional feedback feature that, when you choose to use it, sends your feedback message along with basic device information to our server at api.sapplify.com. This is the only feature that transmits data from your device.
2.3 What sMoment Is NOT
sMoment is a personal mindfulness and wellness tool and is NOT:
