Terms of Service

1. Agreement and operator

By using Iara, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service. The verified legal name and contact of the service operator must be configured before public release; until then, release is blocked.

2. The public v1 service

Iara is a journal-led relationship companion. It preserves notes, organizes person-specific context, supports explicit and occasional automatic outreach reminders, and creates editable message openers that you may pass to the iOS share sheet.

• Iara never sends a message to another person automatically.
• AI output may be incomplete or wrong; review it before relying on or sharing it.
• Notifications are optional. Denial does not prevent note capture, and eligible suggestions remain available inside the app.
• Showcase-only, contact-import, gift, group-payment, and location capabilities are not part of the public native v1 promise.

3. Free v1

The public iOS v1 is free. It contains no subscription, paywall, purchase, PIX payment, or external payment promise. Any future paid offering requires new terms and any platform-required purchase flow.

4. AI consent and anonymous access

Third-party AI processing is required for the core experience and occurs only with active consent. You may decline or revoke it, but Iara does not provide a local-only AI substitute.

Public v1 uses an anonymous device identity and does not provide account recovery. Losing or resetting device credentials can make existing server data inaccessible. Reinstall or reset is not deletion; use permanent deletion in Settings when you still have the required authority.

5. Your responsibilities

• Use the service lawfully and respectfully, including when recording information about people who are not Iara users.
• Do not use Iara for harassment, stalking, discrimination, illegal surveillance, spam, abuse, or rights violations.
• Do not probe, disrupt, overload, reverse engineer where prohibited, or bypass security and rate limits.
• Review dates, reminders, AI inferences, notification settings, and message drafts. Iara is not an emergency, medical, legal, or professional advice service.

6. Your content and Iara software

You keep your rights in the content you submit. You grant Iara the limited permission needed to host, process, derive context from, display, secure, and delete that content as described in the Privacy Policy and your consent choices.

The Iara app, design, trademarks, and software remain protected by applicable intellectual-property law. These terms do not transfer ownership of Iara software to you.

7. Availability, changes, and suspension

The service may be unavailable for maintenance, incidents, safety controls, or dependency failures. Iara may limit or suspend abusive or unlawful use. Kill switches may stop automatic outreach or push delivery while capture, support, and deletion remain available.

Material product or legal changes will be communicated when required. A release must not advertise a capability that is unavailable in its live build.

8. Disclaimers and liability

To the extent permitted by law, Iara is provided without a guarantee that every reminder, inference, draft, or notification will be accurate or timely. Nothing in these terms excludes rights or liability that cannot legally be excluded.

9. Ending use and deletion

You may stop using Iara at any time. Removing the app does not delete server data. Permanent deletion is available in Settings and may remain pending when provider cleanup must be retried. Iara will not claim completion until controlled server, processor, push, and local scopes finish.

10. Governing terms and contact

Applicable mandatory consumer and privacy law continues to apply. The publisher must supply the verified legal entity, jurisdiction, dispute venue, and support contact before public release. Until those owner-only facts are resolved, these terms are a release candidate draft and must not be represented as submission-ready.
