12. Health Disclaimer
The Rune 1 is NOT a Medical Device
The Pulsyn Rune 1 is a consumer wellness product intended for general fitness and wellness purposes only. It is not a medical device and has not been cleared or approved by the FDA, CE, or any other regulatory body for medical use.
Intended Use
The Rune 1 is designed to help you understand trends in your health and wellness over time. It provides data and insights that may support a healthy lifestyle, but it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition.
AI Insights
Health insights generated by our on-device or cloud AI are informational only. They are not medical advice and should not be used as a substitute for professional medical judgment. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider for medical decisions.
Limitations
- Sensor readings may vary based on fit, skin type, movement, and environmental conditions
- The ring cannot detect all health conditions or emergencies
- Do not rely on the Rune 1 for critical health monitoring
- Accuracy may differ from clinical-grade medical devices
Emergency Situations
In case of a medical emergency, call your local emergency services immediately. Do not rely on the Rune 1 or the Pulsyn app to detect or respond to emergencies.
Consult Your Doctor
If you have a medical condition, are pregnant, or have concerns about your health, consult your healthcare provider before using the Rune 1. The ring is not a replacement for regular medical checkups.
13. Data & Privacy
Your privacy is fundamental to how we designed Pulsyn. Please review our Privacy Policy for complete details on how we handle your data.
Key Points
- Your health data stays on your device by default — we never see it
- If you enable cloud sync, your data is end-to-end encrypted — we cannot read it
- We never sell your data or use it to train AI models
- You can export or delete your data at any time
Data Loss Disclaimer
Important: Because we use zero-knowledge encryption, we cannot recover your data if you lose your password or recovery key. You are solely responsible for maintaining backups and safeguarding your credentials. Pulsyn is not liable for any data loss resulting from lost credentials.
Account Deletion
If you delete your account, all associated data is permanently removed from our systems within 30 days. Data stored locally on your device is not affected by account deletion — you control that separately.
14. Intellectual Property
All content on the Pulsyn website and app — including text, graphics, logos, images, software, and the Pulsyn and Rune 1 brand names — is the property of Pulsyn and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
Trademarks
"Pulsyn," "Rune 1," and associated logos are trademarks of Pulsyn. You may not use these marks without our prior written consent.
Limited Use
You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from any Pulsyn content without our prior written consent. Personal, non-commercial use of our website for informational purposes is permitted.
Open Source
Where we use open-source components, we honor the terms of their respective licenses. A list of open-source licenses is available in the Pulsyn app settings.

17. Dispute Resolution
Governing Law
These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Finland, without regard to conflict of law principles. Finland provides strong privacy protections and is where our servers are located.
Informal Resolution
Before initiating formal proceedings, you agree to contact us at legal@getpulsyn.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. Most concerns can be resolved quickly this way.
Arbitration (US Users)
If you are located in the United States, any dispute that cannot be resolved informally shall be resolved through binding arbitration rather than in court, except as noted below. Arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA).
- Class action waiver: All claims must be brought individually, not as part of a class action
- Small claims exception: Either party may bring claims in small claims court if eligible
- Injunctive relief: Either party may seek injunctive relief in court for intellectual property disputes
Arbitration Opt-Out
You have the right to opt out of arbitration. To opt out, email legal@getpulsyn.com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" within 30 days of your first purchase or account creation. Include your name and order number. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in court.
EU & International Users
If you are located in the European Union or other jurisdictions with mandatory consumer protection laws, you retain the right to bring claims in your local courts. Nothing in these terms limits your statutory rights as a consumer.
Jurisdiction
For disputes not subject to arbitration, exclusive jurisdiction lies with the courts of Helsinki, Finland, except where your local consumer protection laws require otherwise.
18. General Provisions
Force Majeure
Pulsyn is not liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: natural disasters, pandemics, supply chain disruptions, component shortages, labor disputes, government actions, or infrastructure failures.
Severability
If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
Assignment
You may not assign or transfer your rights under these terms without our written consent. Pulsyn may assign or transfer these terms to an affiliate or successor in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
Waiver
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by Pulsyn.
Entire Agreement
These Terms of Service, together with our Privacy Policy, Shipping Policy, and Return & Refund Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Pulsyn regarding our products and services, superseding any prior agreements.
Headings
Section headings are for convenience only and have no legal effect.
