Pontus Terms of Use
Effective Date: September 23, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By downloading or using the Pontus mobile application ("App"), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
2. Safety — Read This First
Pontus is a timer for dry breath-hold training on land. Breath-hold training carries a real risk of blackout, which can happen without warning and with no sensation beforehand.
- Never use this App, or hold your breath, in or near water. A blackout in water is drowning.
- Never hold your breath in water alone. In water, always train with a trained partner who is watching you directly and continuously.
- Never train while driving, operating machinery, standing, or in a bath, pool, or shower. Train lying down or seated on the floor, where a loss of consciousness cannot cause a fall or a submersion.
- Stop immediately if you feel dizzy, faint, short of breath, or unwell.
- Do not train if you are pregnant, or if you have a heart condition, a lung condition, epilepsy, high or low blood pressure, or any other condition affecting breathing or circulation, without first consulting a doctor.
You use the App entirely at your own risk and take full responsibility for your own safety and for how and where you train.
3. Not Medical Advice
Pontus is a training timer. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition. Nothing in the App or in its materials is medical advice, and no claim is made that using it improves health, fitness, or wellbeing. Consult a qualified medical professional before beginning any breath-hold training.
4. Not a Substitute for Instruction
The App does not teach freediving and is not a substitute for training with a certified freediving instructor. The tables it generates are arithmetic derived from a figure you enter yourself; they are not a personalised training plan and have not been reviewed for your individual circumstances.
The same applies to its training programs. A program is a fixed schedule — the same days and the same progression for everyone who starts it, scaled only by the personal best you measured yourself. It is not a coach and cannot see how you feel, how experienced you are, or how you slept. Skip a day, repeat a week, or stop a program whenever your own judgement says to; nothing in the App is a reason to push past what feels safe.
5. Description of Service
Pontus generates CO2 and O2 training tables from a personal best you measure yourself, runs them as a timed session with audio cues, and keeps a record of your sessions on your device. It can schedule those tables across several weeks as a training program, and record the contractions you mark during a hold. It requires no account and no internet connection.
6. Subscriptions and Payments
Pontus is free to use. The free version includes the personal best test, CO2 tables, your personal best over time, your most recent sessions and a daily reminder. Optional Premium unlocks training programs, marking contractions during a hold, O2 tables, custom tables, the full session history and every other progress chart. It is offered three ways:
- a monthly auto-renewing subscription
- a yearly auto-renewing subscription
- a one-time purchase granting lifetime access
Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your App Store account settings after purchase. Prices may vary by region.
Refunds are handled by Apple under the App Store terms. We cannot issue refunds directly.
7. Intellectual Property
The App, its design, and its content are owned by LiJordan and protected by copyright. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, or redistribute the App except as permitted by the App Store terms or by applicable law.
8. Your Data
Pontus collects no personal data about you, and your training data stays on your device; it sends anonymous diagnostics that you can switch off. See the Privacy Policy.
9. Disclaimer of Warranties
The App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that its timers, cues, or notifications will always sound or arrive as expected — audio may be interrupted by calls, by other apps, by system behaviour, or by hardware. Never rely on the App as a safety mechanism.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, LiJordan is not liable for any injury, loss, or damage arising from your use of the App, including any consequence of breath-hold training. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
11. Termination
You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it. We may discontinue the App or any of its features at any time.
12. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of Poland, without regard to conflict of law provisions. If you are a consumer in the EU, you keep the protections of the mandatory law of your country of residence.
13. Modifications
We may update these terms. Material changes will be reflected here with a new effective date, and continuing to use the App after that date means you accept the updated terms.
14. Severability
If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in full force.
