End User Licence Agreement

1. Acknowledgement

You and we acknowledge that this agreement is concluded between you and BetrayStories only, and not with Apple Inc. or Google LLC. We alone — not Apple or Google — are responsible for the app and its content. This agreement does not conflict with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions or the Google Play Terms of Service, and you acknowledge that you have had the opportunity to review those.

2. Scope of licence

We grant you a non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable licence to use the app on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, or on any Android device associated with your Google account, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and by Google Play's terms — including sharing through Family Sharing or volume purchasing where those apply. The licence is for personal, non-commercial use.

You may not:

• copy, distribute, sell, sublicense, rent or lease the app, except as this licence permits;
• reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble it, except to the extent the law expressly allows despite this limit;
• remove or alter proprietary notices, or use the app to build a competing service;
• extract, scrape or bulk-copy stories, audio or other content, or use them to train a machine-learning model.

The app is licensed, not sold. We and our licensors retain all rights not expressly granted.

3. In-app purchases and auto-renewal

• Recovery Companion Pro is offered as an auto-renewing subscription at $2.99 per month, or the local equivalent shown in the store, plus any yearly option presented at purchase.
• A trial of three days or three companion sessions, whichever comes first, is available without payment.
• Purchases made in the app are sold by Apple or Google. Payment is charged to your store account at confirmation. The subscription renews automatically unless you turn off auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
• Manage or cancel the subscription in your Apple ID or Google Play account settings after purchase. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies; we cannot issue them.
• Restore purchases is available in the app's account screen, and restores an active subscription to any device signed in to the same store account.
• Any unused portion of a free period is forfeited when you buy a subscription.

4. User content, reporting and blocking

The app shows stories submitted by other people. We do not tolerate objectionable content or abusive users. By using the app you agree not to submit content that is illegal, defamatory, harassing, hateful, sexually explicit involving minors, or that identifies or exposes a real person.

• Every story has a Report action. Reports reach us directly.
• We review reports of objectionable content and remove offending content within 24 hours, and we eject the user who submitted it where the breach warrants it.
• You can block a submitting author so their stories no longer appear to you.
• All submissions are anonymised and moderated before publication, and we may decline or remove any submission at our discretion.

5. AI and health

The Recovery Companion uses AI. It is not a licensed therapist or clinician, it does not provide medical or mental-health care, its output can be wrong, and it is not an emergency service. We screen for crisis before anything else and will stop and refer you to real-world help. Reading the AI & health disclaimer is a condition of using the companion, and it forms part of this agreement.

6. Age rating

The app is rated 17+ for frequent mature and suggestive themes. You must be 18 or older to create an account or to use the Recovery Companion.

7. Maintenance and support

We are solely responsible for providing maintenance and support for the app. Apple and Google have no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services for it. Support requests go through the contact form.

8. Warranty

We are solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent they are not effectively disclaimed. The app is otherwise provided "as is" and "as available", and to the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim all warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. In the event of any failure of the app to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the app to you (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the app, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to a warranty are our sole responsibility.

9. Product claims

We, not Apple or Google, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the app or your possession and use of it, including: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the app fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy or similar legislation, including in connection with the app's use of HealthKit or HomeKit frameworks (which this app does not use).

10. Intellectual property claims

We, not Apple or Google, are responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of any third-party claim that the app or your possession and use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights.

11. Legal compliance

You represent and warrant that: (i) you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

12. Developer name and address

BetrayStories is the developer of this app. Questions, complaints and claims relating to the app should be directed to us through the contact form, which is our operating support channel. Our registered postal address is listed on our App Store and Google Play listings and is provided on request through that form.

13. Third-party terms

You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the app — for example, your wireless data service agreement. Third-party services used inside the app (Apple and Google for purchases, RevenueCat for receipt validation, Supabase for accounts and storage, and DeepSeek for AI replies) are governed by their own terms, and we make no representation or warranty about them.

14. Third-party beneficiary

You and we acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of this agreement, and that upon your acceptance of it Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce it against you as a third-party beneficiary. The same applies to Google in respect of the Google Play distribution of the app.
