- Goal creation and check-in tracking.

Eligibility
Knoweth is intended for users 18 years of age or older. By using Knoweth, you certify that you are at least 18. If you are under 18, you may not use the Service. If we become aware that a user is under 18, we will terminate the account and delete associated data.
Your account
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for any activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at hello@knoweth.app if you believe your account has been compromised.
We may suspend or terminate your account for any of the following: violation of these Terms, suspected fraudulent activity, non-payment, abuse of the Service or other users, or any activity that violates applicable law.

Your content
You retain all rights to the content you create in Knoweth, including your journal entries, moods, goals, contacts, photos, and voice transcripts. We do not claim ownership of your content and we do not sell it.
You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, process, transmit, and display your content solely to provide the Service to you. This includes transmitting your content to the sub-processors listed in our Privacy Policy as necessary to generate AI reflections and voice transcription. The license ends when the content is deleted or your account is terminated, subject to the backup-retention window described in the Privacy Policy.
You are solely responsible for your content and its legality. You represent that you have the right to submit any content you upload, including any photos or scans of other people.
AI-generated content
Reflection prompts, journey follow-up questions, insights, lens reflections, milestone messages, and process plans are generated by artificial intelligence (specifically, Anthropic's Claude language models) based on your entries and mood data. Voice transcripts are generated by Deepgram's speech-to-text technology.
Ownership. You may use AI-generated content freely within the Service and for your own personal, non-commercial purposes. Knoweth retains ownership of the underlying prompt templates, system prompts, model configurations, and product methodology that produce this content. You do not gain any rights in the AI models themselves.
Limitations you accept. AI-generated content may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, or inappropriate for your specific situation. AI systems can produce confident-sounding output that is factually wrong (commonly called "hallucinations"). Different AI-generated responses to the same prompt may vary from session to session. AI may reflect biases present in the training data of the underlying models.
Not professional advice. AI-generated content is NOT medical advice, mental-health treatment, therapy, diagnosis, legal advice, financial advice, or any other regulated professional service. It should not be used as a substitute for consultation with a qualified professional. See the medical and safety notice near the top of these Terms.
Your responsibility. You are responsible for the decisions you make based on AI-generated content, including whether to act on it, share it, or ignore it. Knoweth is not liable for actions you take (or do not take) in reliance on AI output.
Right to disregard. You may ignore, delete, or disagree with any AI-generated content at any time. You may also revoke consent to AI processing entirely from Account → Privacy → Revoke consent. See "How AI processes your content" in our Privacy Policy for details on which AI systems we use and what we send them.
Our intellectual property
The Knoweth Service, including its software, design, branding, prompt templates, system prompts, methodology, and the content we author (marketing copy, help articles, prompt libraries), is owned by us and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your personal, non-commercial reflection purposes only.
You may not copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Service or its content. You may not use our name, logo, or branding without our prior written permission. You may not remove any copyright or proprietary notices from the Service.
Feedback
If you submit feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Service (through the in-app feedback form, by email, or otherwise), you grant Knoweth a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use that feedback without obligation to compensate you. Feedback is not considered confidential.
Third-party services
Knoweth uses third-party services to deliver the app, including Supabase, Anthropic, Deepgram, Resend, Stripe, and RevenueCat. Your use of Knoweth is also subject to the terms and privacy policies of these third parties as they process your data on our behalf. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of third-party services, though we work only with vendors that maintain appropriate security and privacy standards and are bound by Data Processing Agreements with us.
Termination
You may terminate your account at any time from Account → Delete Account. Deletion follows the timeline described in our Privacy Policy (30-day soft-delete grace period, then hard deletion; encrypted backups may retain your data for up to 90 days after hard deletion).
We may terminate or suspend your account with or without notice if you violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or if we cease operating the Service. If we terminate the Service entirely, we will provide at least 30 days' notice by email and refund any prepaid unused subscription time.
Upon termination, your access to Pro features ends and your content follows the deletion timeline. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution.
Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Knoweth is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranty of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that any defects will be corrected.
We disclaim all implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that AI-generated content will be accurate, helpful, or appropriate for your situation. You use AI-generated content at your own discretion and risk.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will Knoweth, its officers, directors, employees, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, or business interruption, arising from or related to your use of the Service.
Our total liability for any claim arising from or related to the Service will not exceed the greater of: one hundred dollars ($100), or the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Knoweth harmless from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, your violation of any third-party right, or your content.
Binding arbitration and class-action waiver
Please read carefully. This section affects your legal rights.
You and Knoweth agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute informally by contacting hello@knoweth.app; both parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the matter for 30 days before pursuing formal proceedings.
If not resolved informally, any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, not in court, except that: (a) you may bring an individual claim in small claims court that qualifies for its jurisdiction, and (b) either party may seek injunctive relief in court for intellectual property infringement or unauthorized access to the Service.
Class-action waiver. You agree that any dispute will be resolved on an individual basis. You waive the right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or representative action.
Arbitration will be conducted by JAMS or the American Arbitration Association under their consumer arbitration rules. The arbitration will be conducted in Colorado or, if both parties agree, remotely. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant any remedy that a court could grant to you individually.
Opt-out: you may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing hello@knoweth.app with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" and including your account email. Opting out of arbitration does not affect any other provisions of these Terms.
This section does not affect your right to file a complaint with a government agency, or your rights under applicable consumer protection laws that cannot be waived. Users in the European Union and the United Kingdom retain the right to bring proceedings in the courts of their country of residence as required by local consumer law.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Colorado without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. Users in the European Union and the United Kingdom retain the protection of mandatory local consumer law.
Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When material changes occur, we will update the version number and the Last Updated date, trigger a re-consent prompt in the app on your next authenticated visit, and send you an email notification at least 30 days before the change takes effect (unless the change is required by law and must take effect immediately). Continuing to use Knoweth after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
Entire agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Knoweth regarding the Service. They supersede any prior agreements.
Severability, waiver, assignment
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of that provision.
You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, or by operation of law.
Notices
We may send you notices about your account or the Service by email or via the app. You are responsible for keeping your contact information current.
Notices to Knoweth may be sent to hello@knoweth.app. Formal legal notices may also be sent by certified mail to Knoweth LLC, 110 16th Street, Suite 1460, Denver, CO 80202.
