Provider and software
Anastasia Miller, trading as WELTEN, is a German sole trader at Rümpeler Weg 29, 23843 Bad Oldesloe, Germany. Contact: hello@welten.app. Telephone: +49 173 1836760.
WELTEN is downloadable English-language software for Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 14 or later. The one-time purchase includes the full feature set and the Waldlichtung forest world. Focus sessions, projects and your forest are stored locally; a licence does not provide accounts or world synchronisation.
Your software and licence contract is with Anastasia Miller, trading as WELTEN. Sold through Link, LLC, a Stripe affiliate, provides Stripe Managed Payments as merchant of record and facilitates the sale on WELTEN’s behalf. Checkout identifies this as “Sold through Link”. The Link terms presented there also apply to its services. WELTEN remains responsible for the software, licence fulfilment and product support. The total price is shown before you submit an order. Order acceptance and access confirmation are provided electronically.
Ordering and contract records
Choose the one-time purchase in WELTEN to open Checkout. Review the price and enter your contact and payment details. Before submitting, you can correct the entries in Checkout; to stop, leave Checkout and return to WELTEN. Only the final order button submits the order.
The WELTEN contract documents are provided in English. Checkout may display its interface in another language. Order acceptance and access confirmation are sent electronically after the purchase is confirmed.
We store the version of the terms and withdrawal notice sent with your contract email, together with the relevant contract and delivery records. Keep that email and its attachments. There is no WELTEN customer account for retrieving documents online; you can request a copy from hello@welten.app. Link separately provides its billing and order records.
Ten free focus sessions
Your first ten fully completed focus sessions are free, including the short introductory session, and each plants a permanent world element. They have no expiry date. Cancelled sessions and breaks are not counted. Installation and the free sessions do not start a subscription or require payment details. Further focus sessions require the one-time purchase or applicable private-beta access.
One-time purchase — €24.99
The price is €24.99 once, including applicable tax. It includes WELTEN, the Waldlichtung forest world and all published 1.x updates. Later major versions, additional worlds and separate services are not automatically included.
After online activation, the one-time licence remains usable offline without an expiry. A network or licensing-server outage does not expire it. Initial activation, restoration and device management require internet access.
This update scope does not restrict mandatory rights to necessary updates, including security updates, or remedies for defects. It does not promise compatibility with every future macOS version or hardware configuration.
Existing monthly subscriptions
New monthly subscriptions are no longer offered. A monthly subscription concluded earlier continues under the terms sent with its contract email: €3.99 per month, including applicable tax, renewing monthly until cancelled.
You can cancel at any time before renewal, with effect at the end of the current trial or paid period and no additional notice period. Cancel during the trial to avoid the first charge. Access continues through the valid period. Mandatory rights to end the contract earlier remain unaffected.
Use the online cancellation function at https://welten.app/cancel/, Link order management or hello@welten.app to cancel. Uninstalling the app or deactivating a Mac does not cancel a subscription. Ordinary cancellation does not itself refund a current period; withdrawal and other refund rights remain available. A routine renewal starts neither a new trial nor a new contractual withdrawal period.
Offline subscription access is limited to the valid trial or paid period. An unsuccessful renewal does not extend that period until payment is resolved. WELTEN adds no late fee. Sessions already running may finish and local progress remains viewable.
Two personal installations
The licence is personal and non-exclusive. Each licence allows two active personal installations. Each macOS user profile counts separately. You can replace installations at any time without a waiting period, including a lost Mac. If both places are used, explicitly select the installation to replace.
You may choose an installation name; otherwise a neutral label and short identifier are used. Your Mac’s computer name is not uploaded automatically. An installation you deactivate loses permission to start new sessions at its next successful licence check. A session already running may finish with its reward.
Device replacement does not transfer ownership to another person or transfer your forest. The licence does not permit distributing the app or sharing access with others. Rights that cannot lawfully be excluded remain unaffected.
Recovery and your progress
Keep your recovery code safely. It proves ownership for licence restoration and installation management, including on an inactive Mac. There is no WELTEN login. If you lose the code, you can replace it at https://welten.app/recover/ by confirming the email address used for the original purchase; the old code then stops working for recovery, and recovery cannot be moved to a different email address. Any Link billing account is separate.
Restoring a licence does not transfer your local forest, projects or history. When paid access ends, those records remain viewable, new focus sessions require valid access, and running sessions may finish with their rewards. Back up your Mac to protect local data against loss or damage.
Switching to one-time ownership
In WELTEN’s switch-to-one-time flow, a successfully verified one-time purchase stops further renewal of linked WELTEN monthly subscriptions. WELTEN confirms that renewal has stopped only after cancellation has been processed.
A linked renewal collected at or after the successful one-time purchase because of a processing overlap is refunded in full. An earlier subscription period is not automatically credited against the one-time price. Refunding the one-time purchase never restarts a cancelled subscription.
Withdrawal and refunds
You may withdraw within the applicable 14-day period. We do not ask you to waive withdrawal because you download or activate the app immediately. The free focus sessions do not replace your withdrawal rights. See the separate withdrawal notice for the deadline, optional form and refund procedure.
Mandatory rights and Link’s applicable protections remain intact. Beyond those and the duplicate-charge rule above, WELTEN offers no additional general money-back guarantee. Individual goodwill refunds remain possible. Statutory rules govern defects, necessary updates and liability.
Completed withdrawal or a full refund reversing a purchase ends its corresponding paid entitlement. A partial refund does not by itself remove the whole licence. Payment disputes are reviewed rather than automatically treated as a final loss of ownership. Local progress is retained and sessions already running may finish.
Private-beta participants
Admitted private-beta participants retain the free transition period promised in the private-beta terms. There is no automatic charge or subscription trial.
Their personal 30% discount gives a one-time launch price of €17.49 instead of €24.99. It can be used once per person within 60 days of the actual sales launch, cannot be combined with other discount codes, and does not apply to subscriptions. A waiting-list request alone does not qualify.
