1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and the developer of Moodrift ("Moodrift," "we," "us," or "our") governing your use of the Moodrift mobile application (bundle ID: app.moodrift.app) and any related services (collectively, the "Service").

By downloading, installing, or using Moodrift, you represent that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you are using Moodrift on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age (or 16 years of age if you are located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom) to use Moodrift. By using the app, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement.

If you are between 13 and 18 years of age (or between 16 and 18 in the EEA/UK), you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

3. Description of Service

Moodrift is a personal mood journaling application that allows you to:

Moodrift is an offline-first application. Your journal data is stored on your device. An internet connection is required only for AI-powered features and subscription verification.

4. Not a Medical or Therapeutic Service

MOODRIFT IS NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE, CLINICAL DIAGNOSTIC TOOL, MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT, CRISIS INTERVENTION SERVICE, OR SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL OR PSYCHOLOGICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT.

The AI-generated insights, mood tags, and summaries produced by Moodrift are intended solely for personal reflection and self-awareness. They are not clinical assessments and should not be used to diagnose, treat, or manage any medical or mental health condition.

If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, thoughts of self-harm, or a psychiatric emergency, please immediately contact:

Always seek the advice of a qualified healthcare professional for any questions regarding your mental or physical health. Do not disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you read or experience in Moodrift.

5. License to Use the App

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, limited license to download and use Moodrift on devices you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial purposes.

This license does not include the right to:

We reserve all rights not expressly granted in these Terms.

6. Your Content

You retain full ownership of all mood entries, notes, voice recordings, and other content you create in Moodrift ("Your Content"). We do not claim any ownership rights in Your Content.

By using AI features (mood tagging, weekly insights, chapter summaries), you grant us a limited, transient, non-exclusive license to transmit Your Content to our AI processing infrastructure solely for the purpose of generating the AI output you have requested. This license is revoked immediately upon completion of the AI processing call. We do not retain, use, or share Your Content for any other purpose.

When you use the "Share as image" feature to export an AI-generated insight, you retain full rights over that exported image and any sharing decisions are entirely your own.

You are solely responsible for Your Content. You represent that Your Content does not violate any applicable law or any third party's rights.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use Moodrift to:

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service if we reasonably believe you have violated this section.

8. Subscriptions and Billing

Moodrift offers a free tier and a premium subscription (Moodrift Pro). Premium features include voice entry, unlimited mood history, AI weekly insights, Life Chapters, and data backup and export.

Pricing:

Auto-renewal: All Moodrift Pro subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period (monthly or annually) at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your payment method on file with Apple or Google will be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the renewal date.

Managing your subscription: You can view, manage, and cancel your subscription at any time through your device's subscription management settings:

Cancellation: Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid billing period. You will retain access to premium features until the period ends. Cancellation does not entitle you to a refund of any amounts already charged, except as required by applicable law.

Refunds: All subscription purchases are final and non-refundable except where required by law. Refund requests must be directed to Apple (via reportaproblem.apple.com) or Google (via play.google.com/store/account). We do not process refunds directly.

Price changes: We may change subscription prices at any time. Price changes will not affect your current subscription period. We will notify you of price changes in advance, and the new price will apply to your next renewal period. Founding Member pricing is exempt from price increases for as long as that subscription remains active and in continuous good standing.

Free trials: If a free trial is offered, the trial period, post-trial pricing, and auto-renewal terms will be disclosed at the time of sign-up. If you cancel during a free trial before it ends, you will not be charged.

Payment: All payments are processed by Apple or Google. We do not collect or store your payment information. By subscribing, you authorize Apple or Google to charge your payment method on a recurring basis.

9. AI Features

Certain features of Moodrift use artificial intelligence. AI-generated content — including mood tags, emotional assessments, weekly insight text, and chapter summaries — is generated automatically and may not always be accurate, complete, or appropriate for your situation.

You acknowledge that:

We make no warranty regarding the accuracy, quality, or fitness for any particular purpose of AI-generated content.

AI Features and Daily Usage Limits

Moodrift Pro includes access to AI-powered features. To maintain service quality and fairness across all users, the following usage limits apply per device per calendar day:

These limits reset at midnight UTC each day. Under normal usage patterns (1–3 journal entries per day), these limits will not be reached. If a limit is reached, the affected AI feature will be temporarily unavailable until the limit resets the following day. Core journaling functionality — writing entries, viewing history, using the mood calendar — is never affected by AI usage limits.

We reserve the right to adjust these limits. If limits are materially reduced, we will notify you in advance via an in-app notification.

10. Privacy

Our data practices are described in full in our Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference and forms part of this agreement. By using Moodrift, you acknowledge that you have read and understood our Privacy Policy.

11. Intellectual Property

Moodrift and its original content, features, design, and functionality are and remain the exclusive property of the Moodrift developer. The Moodrift name, logo, and all related marks, designs, graphics, and trade dress are our proprietary intellectual property.

Nothing in these Terms transfers or licenses any intellectual property rights to you except for the limited license described in Section 5.

If you believe any content in Moodrift infringes your intellectual property rights, please contact us at privacy@moodrift.app.

12. Third-Party Services and Links

Moodrift integrates with third-party services for AI processing, subscription management, crash reporting, analytics, and app distribution. Your use of these services is governed by their respective terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices of any third-party service provider.

The app may display links to third-party websites. We do not endorse and are not responsible for any third-party content or practices.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that:

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties. If you are located in such a jurisdiction, some of these exclusions may not apply to you.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE MOODRIFT DEVELOPER BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) $50 USD.

These limitations apply even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages and even if any remedy fails of its essential purpose.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. If you are located in such a jurisdiction (including the EU, where certain consumer protections may apply), some of these limitations may not apply to you.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Moodrift developer and any affiliates, contractors, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms or your use of the Service in a manner not authorized by these Terms.

16. Termination

These Terms remain in effect as long as you use the Service.

Termination by you: You may stop using Moodrift at any time by deleting the app from your device. Deleting the app removes your local journal data. To cancel an active subscription, follow the steps in Section 8 before deleting the app.

Termination by us: We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, or if we discontinue the Service. In the event of discontinuation, we will provide reasonable advance notice where practicable and will not charge you for any subscription period after service termination.

Upon termination, the license granted to you under Section 5 ends. Sections 4, 6, 11, 13, 14, 15, and 17 survive termination of these Terms.

17. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Informal resolution: Before filing any claim, you agree to attempt to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at privacy@moodrift.app. We will attempt to resolve the dispute within 30 days.

Binding arbitration (US users): If informal resolution fails and you are located in the United States, you and Moodrift agree to resolve any dispute through binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except that either party may bring claims in small claims court if the claim qualifies. YOU AND MOODRIFT ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

EU/UK users: If you are located in the European Union, you may also bring proceedings before your local courts and have the right to use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. If you are in the UK, you may use the UK equivalent dispute resolution services. Nothing in these Terms limits your statutory rights as a consumer.

Venue: To the extent court proceedings are permitted, you consent to personal jurisdiction in the state and federal courts located in California, United States.

Time limit: Any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms must be brought within one year after the cause of action arises, except where prohibited by applicable law.

18. Apple App Store Additional Terms

If you downloaded Moodrift from the Apple App Store, the following additional terms apply. These terms are required by Apple and supplement the rest of these Terms:

19. Google Play Additional Terms

If you downloaded Moodrift from the Google Play Store, the following additional terms apply:

20. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes — those that significantly affect your rights or obligations — we will provide at least 30 days' advance notice via an in-app notification before the new Terms take effect.

Your continued use of Moodrift after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms. If you do not accept the new Terms, you must stop using Moodrift before the effective date.

The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the date of the most recent revision. Prior versions are available on request.

Miscellaneous

Entire agreement: These Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and the Moodrift developer regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements.

Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Waiver: Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of that right or provision.

Assignment: You may not assign your rights under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, provided that we give you notice and the acquiring entity agrees to be bound by these Terms.

Language: These Terms are written in English. Translations, if any, are provided for convenience only. In the event of a conflict, the English version controls.
