Terms of Service for After

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and After ("we," "our," "us") governing your use of the After mobile application (the "App"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms.

Contact us at after.support@gmail.com.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use After, consistent with its App Store age rating.

2. Description of the Service

After is a self-guided personal tool to support you through the end of a relationship — including journaling, mood and habit check-ins, a no-contact streak tracker, a designated "anchor" contact feature, activity suggestions, and related content. Some features are free; others require an auto-renewing subscription (Section 5).

3. Not Medical, Psychological, or Emergency Care

After is not a substitute for professional mental health treatment, medical advice, or emergency services. If you are in crisis, thinking about harming yourself, or experiencing an emergency, do not rely on this App — contact a crisis line (in the US: call or text 988), go to your nearest emergency room, or contact local emergency services immediately.

4. Your Content and Your Responsibility

You retain ownership of everything you enter into the App. Because it's stored locally on your device, you are responsible for backing it up if you want to preserve it beyond the life of your device or the App.

By entering another person's name and phone number as your "anchor," you represent that you have their permission to store their contact information within the App and to contact them via the messaging features described in our Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for verifying this consent, the accuracy of contact information you provide, whether the anchor receives or responds to any message, or any consequences arising from your relationship with your anchor. You agree not to use the App to harass, contact, or gather information about any person without their consent.

5. Subscriptions and In-App Purchases

Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage your subscription or turn off auto-renewal at any time in your Apple ID Account Settings. If a free trial is offered, payment begins automatically at the end of the trial unless canceled at least 24 hours before it ends. All purchases are billed and managed by Apple; refund requests are handled by Apple according to its own policies.

6. Third-Party Services

The App may allow you to connect to third-party services (for example, Spotify). Your use of any third-party service is subject to that service's own terms and privacy policy.

Community letters. If you submit a letter to be shared with other users, you confirm you wrote it, that it contains no personal information about anyone else, and that you grant After a free, non-exclusive right to edit, display, and remove it within the App. We review submissions before publishing and may reject or remove any letter at any time. We can't respond to submissions, and they are not a way to reach us in an emergency. Users can report any letter from within the App.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the App for any unlawful purpose, to harass, stalk, or harm another person, to attempt to reverse-engineer or interfere with the App, or to misrepresent your identity or age.

8. Intellectual Property

The App, including its design, text, graphics, and underlying code, is owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual property laws.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT ANY CONTENT WILL BE PRESERVED OR RECOVERABLE.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APP — INCLUDING CONSEQUENCES ARISING FROM THE ANCHOR FEATURE, LOST CONTENT, OR RELIANCE ON THE APP IN PLACE OF PROFESSIONAL CARE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE.

11. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms.

12. Changes to the App or These Terms

We may update the App or these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

13. Governing Law

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