Terms
Terms of Use
Please read these terms before using Reed. They set out the agreement between you and us, they contain important health and safety information, and they limit our liability. Section 18 contains an arbitration agreement and class action waiver that applies only to users resident in the United States.
Effective date: 24 July 2026
Last updated: 24 July 2026
1. Who we are, and what these terms cover
Reed is a breathwork and pranayama app for iPhone.
Reed is provided by Eulogi Bordas Casas, a sole trader established in Spain ("Reed", "we", "us", "our"):
| Business address | Passeig de Gràcia 74, 4th floor, 08008 Barcelona, Spain |
| hello@reedbreathworks.com | |
| Telephone | +34 649 450 624 |
These are the same contact details published on Reed's App Store product page under Articles 30 and 31 of the EU Digital Services Act. The business address is an establishment address for correspondence about Reed; it is not a residential address, and post relating to Reed should be sent there.
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the Reed iPhone application, the Reed Pro subscription, and the reedbreathworks.com website (together, the "Service"). They form a binding agreement between you and us.
By downloading, opening or using Reed, you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use Reed.
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data and forms part of these Terms.
2. Who may use Reed
Reed is intended for adults. You must be 18 or older to use the Service. By using Reed you confirm that you are 18 or older, that you are legally able to enter into this agreement, and that your use complies with the laws that apply to you.
Reed is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly make it available to anyone under 18. If you believe a minor is using Reed, please write to us at hello@reedbreathworks.com.
3. What Reed is — and what it is not
Reed guides breathing patterns drawn from established breathwork and pranayama traditions. It is a general wellbeing product. It is not a medical device, and we are not a healthcare provider.
Specifically:
(a) Reed does not provide medical advice. Nothing in Reed — session descriptions, guidance, timings, insights, notifications, or any other content — is medical, psychological, or therapeutic advice, and none of it is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, or monitor any condition. Reed is not a substitute for professional care. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional about your health, and never disregard or delay professional advice because of something you read or experienced in Reed.
(b) Reed's content is general, not personal to you. Sessions describe general principles and are not tailored to your medical history, medication, or circumstances. A session that is safe and useful for one person may be unsuitable for another.
(c) Reed's check-in and "your shift" are self-reported, not measurements. Before and after a session, Reed asks you to rate how you feel on a five-point scale. "Your shift" is simply the arithmetic difference between the rating you gave afterwards and the rating you gave before. It is a record of your own subjective report. It is not a physiological measurement, not a clinical assessment, and not evidence that any change occurred in your body.
(d) Reed Pro's insights are descriptive patterns, not findings. Where Reed Pro identifies patterns — for example, which sessions or times of day tend to accompany your larger self-reported shifts — those patterns are calculated only from your own past check-ins on your own device. They describe correlations in your self-reports. They do not establish cause, they do not predict outcomes, and they are not a health assessment.
(e) We make no promises about results. We do not warrant that Reed will produce any particular effect on your wellbeing, sleep, focus, stress, anxiety, or any other aspect of your health.
4. Health and safety
This section is important. Please read it in full.
4.1 Breathing practices carry real risks
Controlled breathing, and in particular rapid or forceful breathing and breath retention, can cause dizziness, lightheadedness, tingling, faintness, loss of consciousness, headache, nausea, chest discomfort, palpitations, shortness of breath, muscle spasm, anxiety, panic, and emotional distress. In people with certain underlying conditions, these practices can cause or contribute to more serious harm.
4.2 Speak to a doctor first if any of these apply to you
Do not use Reed without first obtaining medical clearance if you are pregnant, or if you have or may have:
- cardiovascular disease, arrhythmia, or uncontrolled high blood pressure
- a respiratory condition, including asthma or COPD
- epilepsy or any history of seizures
- glaucoma or raised intraocular pressure
- a history of stroke, aneurysm, or raised intracranial pressure
- recent thoracic, abdominal, ocular, or brain surgery
- a psychiatric condition, including a history of psychosis, dissociation, panic disorder, or PTSD
- any condition, or any medication, that affects consciousness, blood pressure, or breathing
This list is not exhaustive. If you are unsure whether breathwork is safe for you, ask a doctor before you begin.
4.3 Forceful and retention practices
Some sessions in Reed — including Kapalabhati and Bhastrika — involve rapid, forceful breathing. Others involve holding the breath. These carry a higher risk than slow-breathing sessions and are marked accordingly in the app. Do not attempt them if any of the conditions in section 4.2 apply to you, and do not attempt them if you have not practised them before without first learning them under qualified in-person instruction.
4.4 Where and when you may practise
You agree to use Reed only in a safe setting, seated or lying down, where a sudden loss of consciousness could not harm you or anyone else. Never use Reed:
- in or near water, including in a bath, pool, or open water
- while driving, cycling, or operating any vehicle or machinery
- at height, near fire, or near traffic
- while under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- during any activity that requires your attention
- in a medical emergency
4.5 Stop if you feel unwell
Stop the session immediately and return to normal breathing if you feel dizzy, faint, short of breath, nauseous, or distressed, or if you experience chest pain, palpitations, or any symptom that concerns you. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist. In an emergency, call your local emergency number (112 in Spain and across the EU; 911 in the United States).
Reed does not provide emergency services and cannot monitor, detect, or respond to your condition.
4.6 Your acknowledgement
Before your first session, Reed asks you to confirm that you have read this information. By using Reed you confirm that:
- you have read and understood sections 3 and 4;
- you have considered whether any of the conditions in section 4.2 apply to you, and have obtained medical clearance where appropriate;
- you are using Reed voluntarily, and you accept responsibility for choosing which sessions to practise, and when and where to practise them;
- you will follow the safety guidance in section 4.4 and stop as described in section 4.5.
Nothing in this section limits any liability that we cannot limit by law — see section 13.
5. Your licence to use Reed
We grant you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use Reed on Apple devices you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial use, for as long as you comply with these Terms.
You may not: use Reed to instruct, guide, or lead other people, whether in person, online, in a class, or as part of any professional practice; sell, rent, sublicense, or otherwise make Reed available to others; copy, adapt, translate, or create derivative works from Reed or its content; or decompile, reverse engineer, or attempt to extract its source code, except to the limited extent that applicable law expressly permits this despite this restriction.
If you are a teacher, therapist, coach, or other practitioner and wish to use Reed with clients, please contact us.
6. Reed Pro: subscription, trial, billing and cancellation
6.1 Free and paid
All nine breathing sessions in Reed are free and fully usable without payment. Reed Pro is an optional subscription that unlocks additional features, described in the app at the point of purchase.
6.2 Purchases are made through Apple
All Reed Pro subscriptions are purchased and processed through the Apple App Store. We do not take payment directly and we do not hold your payment details. Your purchase is subject to the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, which govern the payment itself. Where those terms conflict with these Terms in relation to your purchase, Apple's terms prevail.
We use RevenueCat to confirm and restore your subscription status across your devices. Reed does not require an account; your entitlement is linked to your Apple ID.
6.3 Price, trial and renewal
Current prices are shown in the app before you purchase, in your local currency, inclusive of any applicable tax. At the date of these Terms, Reed Pro is offered at €3.99 per month or €29.99 per year, with a 7-day free trial on the annual plan.
Free trials are available once per Apple ID. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the subscription begins and your Apple ID is charged.
Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Apple charges your Apple ID within the 24 hours before renewal.
6.4 Cancelling and refunds
You can cancel at any time in your Apple ID subscription settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you keep Reed Pro until then. Uninstalling Reed does not cancel your subscription.
Because Apple processes the payment, refund requests must be made to Apple, through reportaproblem.apple.com. We cannot issue refunds for App Store purchases. Your statutory rights, including those in section 7, are not affected.
6.5 Price changes
We may change the price of Reed Pro. Any change applies only to periods beginning after the change, never retroactively, and Apple will notify you and, where required, ask you to consent before renewing at a new price. If you do not agree, you can cancel before the change takes effect.
6.6 We will not take back what you have paid for
We will not remove a feature from Reed Pro during a subscription period you have already paid for, where that feature was included in Reed Pro when that period began. We may change or discontinue features for future periods, subject to section 8.
7. Right of withdrawal (consumers in the EU, EEA and UK)
If you are a consumer resident in the EU, the EEA or the UK, you have a statutory right to withdraw from a distance contract for digital content or services within 14 days, without giving a reason.
You lose that right once supply of the digital service has begun with your express prior consent and your acknowledgement that you thereby lose the right of withdrawal. Because Reed Pro is delivered immediately on purchase, Apple obtains this consent as part of the purchase flow.
Where the right applies, exercise it through Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com, since Apple processed your purchase. You may also write to us at hello@reedbreathworks.com and we will help you do so. Any refund will be made by the same payment method you used.
Nothing in these Terms limits your mandatory rights as a consumer under Spanish Royal Legislative Decree 1/2007 (TRLGDCU), or under the equivalent law of your country of residence.
8. Changes to Reed
We may add, change, or remove features, sessions, and content, and we may suspend or discontinue Reed entirely. We will give reasonable notice of any change that materially disadvantages you, where it is reasonable to do so, and section 6.6 continues to apply to periods you have paid for.
Reminders and notifications are local to your device and you control them in Reed's settings and in iOS settings.
9. Acceptable use
You agree not to: use Reed unlawfully or fraudulently; interfere with the operation, integrity, or security of the Service; introduce malicious code; attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Service; circumvent or attempt to circumvent any entitlement check, paywall, or licensing mechanism; or use automated means to access, scrape, or copy the Service.
10. Your data
Your check-ins, your sessions, and the history behind "your shift" are stored on your device. We do not receive them and we cannot recover them for you. If you delete Reed or reset your device, that history is gone.
The same applies to the health information you give us when you set Reed up, and to the record Reed keeps of the safety acknowledgements you make before certain sessions. Both stay on your device. We never receive them, and they are never sent anywhere.
Reed does not require an account and does not read data from Apple Health.
The only information relating to your use of Reed that leaves your device is your subscription and purchase status, processed by Apple and by RevenueCat so that Reed Pro can be unlocked and restored. Our Privacy Policy sets out the detail, including the legal bases on which we process personal data and how to exercise your rights.
11. Intellectual property
Reed, its name, its logo, its interface, its design system, its written content, its sounds, and its software are owned by us or licensed to us, and are protected by copyright, trade mark, and other intellectual property rights. Breathing techniques themselves are traditional practices in the public domain; our particular expression, arrangement, and presentation of them is not.
Except for the licence in section 5, no rights are granted to you. You may share screenshots of Reed on personal social media, provided you do not present them misleadingly or suggest that we endorse you.
If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them freely and without obligation or payment to you.
12. Availability and "as is"
We aim to keep Reed working well, but we cannot promise that it will always be available, uninterrupted, or free of errors, or that it will meet your expectations. Reed depends on your device, its operating system, and services we do not control.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, and without affecting your mandatory rights as a consumer, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", and we exclude all implied warranties, including satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
13. Our liability
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for:
- death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
- fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or
- any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under the law that applies to you, including your mandatory rights as a consumer.
Subject to that, and to the fullest extent permitted by law:
(a) we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, revenue, business, anticipated savings, goodwill, or data;
(b) we are not liable for loss or damage caused by anything outside our reasonable control, or by your failure to follow the health and safety guidance in section 4;
(c) we are not liable for third-party services, including Apple, RevenueCat, and any site we link to; and
(d) our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the Service is limited to the greater of (i) the total amount you paid for Reed Pro in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, and (ii) €100.
14. Suspension and termination
You may stop using Reed at any time by deleting it; see section 6.4 for cancelling a subscription.
We may suspend or end your access to the Service if you materially breach these Terms, in particular sections 5 and 9. Where we do so and you hold an unexpired paid subscription, we will refund the unused portion unless the breach involved fraud or circumvention of payment.
Sections 3, 4, 10, 11, 13, 17, 18 and 19 survive termination.
15. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect changes to Reed, to our business, or to the law. We will post the updated Terms with a new "last updated" date, and where a change materially affects your rights we will give you reasonable notice, in the app or by other appropriate means, before it takes effect.
Changes do not apply retroactively to disputes that have already arisen. If you do not accept a change, you may stop using Reed and cancel your subscription.
16. Apple
These Terms apply in addition to the following, which apply because you obtained Reed from the Apple App Store:
(a) These Terms are between you and us only, not with Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for Reed and its content.
(b) Your licence to use Reed is limited to a non-transferable licence to use it on Apple-branded products you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that Reed may also be accessed by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or Legacy Contacts.
(c) We, not Apple, are solely responsible for providing maintenance and support for Reed. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support.
(d) If Reed fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation in respect of Reed.
(e) We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to Reed or your possession or use of it, including product liability claims, claims that Reed fails to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection, privacy, or similar law.
(f) We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of any third-party claim that Reed or your use of it infringes intellectual property rights.
(g) You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated by the US Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
(h) You must comply with any applicable third-party terms when using Reed.
(i) Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and have the right to enforce them against you.
17. Governing law, jurisdiction and complaints
These Terms, and any dispute arising out of them or out of your use of the Service, are governed by Spanish law.
Any dispute will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Barcelona, Spain.
If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory rules of the law of the country where you are resident, and it does not remove your right to bring proceedings in the courts of your own country of residence, or to be sued only there, where the law that applies to you gives you that right. Section 18 applies instead of this section if you are resident in the United States.
We are not adhered to any consumer arbitration scheme. If you have a complaint, please write to hello@reedbreathworks.com first and we will try to resolve it. Consumers resident in Spain may also contact the consumer authorities of their Autonomous Community.
18. Additional terms for users resident in the United States
This section applies only if you are resident in the United States. It affects how disputes between us are resolved. Please read it carefully.
18.1 Informal resolution first
Before starting arbitration, you agree to write to us at hello@reedbreathworks.com describing the dispute and the relief you seek, and to allow us 60 days to resolve it informally.
18.2 Agreement to arbitrate
If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, you and we agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, and not in court, except as set out in section 18.4. This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, before a single arbitrator, in English. The arbitration will be conducted by videoconference or on documents, or, if you request, in person in the county where you live. If the total value of your claim is US$1,000 or less, we will pay the AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees for the arbitration, unless the arbitrator determines that your claim was filed for an improper purpose or is frivolous as measured by Rule 11(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. This does not limit any greater fee protection the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules give you.
18.3 Class action and jury waiver
You and we each agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any representative proceeding. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and we each waive any right to a jury trial.
If this section 18.3 is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request will be severed and heard in court, and the remainder of section 18 continues to apply.
18.4 Exceptions
Either of us may bring an individual claim in small claims court, and either of us may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property rights.
18.5 Opting out
You may opt out of section 18.2 and 18.3 within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing hello@reedbreathworks.com with your name, your postal address, the Apple ID email associated with your purchase, and a clear statement that you are opting out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.
18.6 Limitation period
To the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service must be brought within one year after it arises, or it is permanently barred.
19. General
Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service.
Severability. If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, it is limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the rest remains in force.
No waiver. If we do not enforce a right, we do not waive it.
Assignment. You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms. We may transfer ours, including on a sale or restructuring of the business, provided your rights are not reduced.
Language. These Terms are published in English and Spanish. If there is any conflict between the two versions, the English version prevails — except that this does not deprive you of any mandatory protection available to you under the law of your country of residence.
Force majeure. We are not liable for failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
