Terms of use and conditions
# Terms of Use
**Effective date: 22 July 2026**
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the Thought Treat app
("Thought Treat", "the app", "we", "us"). By downloading, installing, or using
the app, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the
app.
If you have any questions, contact us at **support.thoughttreat@gmail.com**.
---
## The short version
- Thought Treat is a daily-quote and reflection app for your own personal use.
- You may use it on the Apple devices you own or control.
- **Thought Treat+** is an optional paid subscription that unlocks premium
features. It renews automatically until you cancel it.
- The quotes and content are for inspiration and reflection only, not
professional advice.
- The app is provided "as is", and your statutory consumer rights are not
affected.

## Who may use the app
You may use Thought Treat if you are old enough to form a binding contract in
your country and are not barred from doing so under any applicable law. If you
are a minor, you may only use the app with the consent and supervision of a
parent or legal guardian. The app is not directed to children under 13 (or the
equivalent minimum age in your country).
## Your licence to use the app
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive,
non-transferable, revocable licence to download and use Thought Treat for your
own personal, non-commercial use on Apple devices that you own or control, as
permitted by the App Store Terms of Service.
You agree not to:
- copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the app;
- reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code, except to the extent
this restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
- use the app in any unlawful way or for any unlawful purpose;
- interfere with or disrupt the app or the servers and networks that deliver
its content.
## Your content
Thought Treat lets you write reflections and journal entries. This content is
stored locally on your device and is not uploaded to or accessible by us, as
described in our Privacy Policy. You are responsible for your own content and
for keeping your own backups. Because we cannot access this content, we cannot
recover it if you delete it or uninstall the app.
## Subscriptions and billing
Thought Treat offers an optional auto-renewing subscription, **Thought Treat+**,
which unlocks premium features. The following terms apply to subscriptions:
- **Purchase and billing** are handled by **Apple** through your App Store
account. Prices are shown in the app before you buy and may vary by region.
- **Auto-renewal.** Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each
billing period unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end
of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours
before the end of the current period.
- **Managing and cancelling.** You can manage or cancel your subscription at any
time in your App Store account settings. Cancelling stops future renewals; it
does not retroactively refund the current period.
- **Free trials or introductory offers**, where offered, are applied as
described at the time of purchase. Any unused portion of a free trial is
forfeited when you buy a subscription.
- **Refunds** are handled by Apple in accordance with the App Store Terms of
Service and applicable law. We generally cannot issue refunds directly.
## Content and no professional advice
The quotes, prompts, and other content in Thought Treat are provided for
inspiration, education, and personal reflection only. They are **not** medical,
psychological, legal, financial, or other professional advice, and they are not
a substitute for care from a qualified professional. If you are experiencing a
crisis or need help, please contact a qualified professional or your local
emergency services.
## Intellectual property
The app, its design, logos, and the compilation of its content are owned by us
or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. Individual
quotes may be attributed to their original authors and remain the property of
their respective rights holders. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership
rights to you other than the limited licence described above.
## Third-party services
Thought Treat relies on third-party services to function, including **Apple**
(App Store and device platform), **RevenueCat** (subscription management), and
**Supabase** (content backend). Your use of those services may also be governed
by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party
services that we do not control.
## Availability and changes to the app
We work to keep the app available and functioning, but we do not guarantee that
it will always be available, uninterrupted, or error-free. We may update, change,
or discontinue features of the app at any time. Some features require an internet
connection to download content; if content cannot be reached, the app falls back
to a bundled quote pack so it keeps working offline.
## Disclaimer of warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the app is provided **"as is"** and
**"as available"**, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied,
including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, and non-infringement. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of
certain warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.
## Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect,
incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data,
arising out of or related to your use of the app. Nothing in these Terms limits
liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, and your statutory
consumer rights are not affected.
## Termination
You may stop using the app at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or end
your access to the app if you breach these Terms or use the app unlawfully. The
sections that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual
property, disclaimers, and limitation of liability) will continue to apply.
## Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we
will update the "Effective date" above and post the revised Terms at the same
address. Your continued use of the app after an update means you accept the
revised Terms.
## Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws applicable in your country of residence
where required by mandatory consumer law, and otherwise by the laws of the
Netherlands, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Mandatory consumer
protections available to you in your place of residence are not affected.
