You acknowledge and agree that:

• This license does not grant you any ownership, title, or interest in the App, its source code, design, underlying algorithms, brand, mascot, or intellectual property.

If you do not meet these requirements, you must delete the App immediately.

4. User Accounts and Anonymous Access

4.1 Anonymous Account System

By default, JustYap utilizes an anonymous local account system. We do not require you to provide an email address, password, or physical identity to use the App. Upon first launch, the App automatically generates a private, unique, anonymous user ID (stored via Supabase Auth) on our servers to track your subscription status and manage AI usage quotas.

4.2 Technical Consequences of Account Deletion or De-authentication

If you log out of the App, clear your App data, delete your account, or uninstall the App:

• All local files, database records, and journal entries stored on the device are immediately deleted by your device's operating system.

• We have no technical means to restore, retrieve, or recover your journal data. If you have not created a manual backup using the Google Drive feature, your data is lost forever.

6. AI Features and Fair Use Policy

JustYap incorporates advanced Artificial Intelligence features (including voice transcription, summaries, weekly recaps, and monthly chapters) operated by third-party providers (Groq, OpenAI).

6.1 Fair Use Policy

Your use of these AI features must comply with our Fair Use Policy. The App is designed for individual, personal journaling only.

• You are strictly prohibited from using automated tools, scripts, bots, or unofficial API integrations to access or abuse the AI endpoints.

• You may not use the App to process high volumes of third-party content (such as transcribing commercial audio, lectures, podcasts, or meetings) that exceeds standard personal journaling behaviors.

• If we detect excessive, automated, or abusive usage patterns, we reserve the right to immediately suspend or terminate your access to the App, including your subscription, without warning or refund.

6.2 Limitations of AI Output

• No Guarantee of Accuracy: Transcriptions, summaries, and recaps are generated by third-party AI models. We do not guarantee their accuracy, completeness, or reliability. AI outputs may contain errors, omissions, or nonsensical translations.

• Third-Party Data Transmission: In order to transcribe your voice recordings and generate summaries, your audio files and journal text must be securely transmitted to and processed by third-party AI processors (Groq and OpenAI) via our backend functions. By using these features, you consent to this transmission and processing.

• No Professional Advice: All AI-generated content (including mood tracking, insights, and summaries) is provided for self-reflection and entertainment purposes only. It is not professional, legal, medical, psychological, financial, or mental health advice.

7. Medical and Mental Health Disclaimer

JUSTYAP IS NOT A MEDICAL APP, CLINICAL TOOL, DIAGNOSTIC UTILITY, OR THERAPEUTIC SYSTEM. THE APP AND ITS AI CONTEXT ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL CARE, PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELING, PSYCHIATRIC DIAGNOSIS, OR THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION.

• The mood tracking, analysis, summaries, and recaps are intended solely for personal reflection. They do not constitute clinical evaluations, diagnostic recommendations, or medical advice of any kind.

• Emergency Situations: If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, suicidal thoughts, or any medical emergency, do not rely on this App. You must immediately contact professional medical services, a qualified healthcare provider, or emergency hotlines in your country.

8. User Content and License

8.1 Ownership of Your Content

You retain full ownership, title, and copyright of all journal entries, text, audio recordings, and metadata you create within the App ("Your Content"). We do not claim any ownership rights over Your Content.

8.2 License to Us for Processing

By using the App, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to process, transmit, and format Your Content solely to the extent necessary to deliver the App's features (such as sending audio for transcription or text for summaries). This license automatically expires once the processing is complete or when you delete the data from your local device. We will never sell, distribute, or license Your Content to advertisers or third parties.

9. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to engage in any of the following prohibited activities:

• Circumventing, bypassing, or attempting to hack subscription limits, API quotas, or security locks.

• Using the App for any illegal, fraudulent, or unauthorized purpose.

• Interfering with or disrupting the security, performance, or integrity of the App's servers, databases, or API infrastructure.

• Decompiling, reverse-engineering, or copying the source code, design elements, animations, or layout of the App.

10. Passcode Lock and Biometric Security

The App includes optional local locking features (PIN code, Face ID, or Touch ID) to restrict access to your journal on your physical device.

• Local Processing: Biometric validation is handled entirely by your device’s operating system (e.g., Apple's Secure Enclave or Android's Keystore). We do not collect, store, or transmit your biometric patterns.

• Forgotten Passcode Risk: If you set a numeric PIN code, it is stored locally in encrypted storage. We do not have access to your PIN. If you forget your PIN and do not have biometrics enabled, the only way to regain access to the App is to uninstall and reinstall it. This action will permanently erase your local data.

• Liability Disclaimer: We take no responsibility for unauthorized access to your journal entries due to:
  • Failure to set a passcode/biometric lock.
  • Sharing your device passcode or biometrics with third parties.
  • Your device being compromised, stolen, or unlocked by a third party.

11. Google Drive Cloud Backup (Third-Party Feature)

The App provides an optional backup feature linking to your personal Google Drive account.

• Direct Client-to-Cloud Connection: The App establishes a direct link between your device and Google's API to upload and download your backup files. The backup files are stored in your private Google Drive account. We do not host, access, or control these files.

• Storage Limits and Costs: You are solely responsible for ensuring your Google Drive account has sufficient storage capacity and is in good standing. We are not liable for backup failures resulting from Google account suspension, storage limits, or API errors.

• Waiver of Backup Liability: Google Drive is a third-party service. We make no warranty that Google Drive backups will succeed, be complete, remain uncorrupted, or be retrievable. We are not responsible for any failure in the Google Drive API, data corruption during upload/download, or loss of access to your Google account.

Except for Your Content, all intellectual property in the App—including but not limited to the source code, user interface, graphic designs, icons, logos, the "Yap Dot" mascot, layouts, animations, and proprietary text—is the sole and exclusive property of Victor Lougon Sampaio Lopes and is protected by copyright, trademark, and intellectual property laws worldwide.
