Terms of Service - JayWFoster

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS. THEY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. IN PARTICULAR: SECTION 4 (THE SERVICE IS AI, NOT THERAPY, AND IS NOT FOR EMERGENCIES), SECTION 5.3 (YOUR SUBSCRIPTION RENEWS AUTOMATICALLY UNTIL YOU CANCEL), SECTION 13 (LIMITS ON OUR LIABILITY), AND SECTION 14 (INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER, WHICH YOU MAY OPT OUT OF WITHIN 30 DAYS).

In Brief

A plain-language summary, provided for convenience. It is not part of the agreement. Where it differs from the sections below, the sections below control.

What this is. A self-guided personal development app. Everything you interact with is generated by artificial intelligence, not by a person.
What this is not. Not therapy, counseling, medical care, or an emergency service. See Section 4.
What it costs. The Archetypes Indicator Synopsis is free. The Archetypes Indicator Full Report is US$10 once, and is yours to keep. The subscription is US$16 per month and renews automatically until you cancel.
Cancel in the app at any time, with no penalty and no phone call. You keep access through the period you paid for.
Your data. You own what you write. We never use it to train AI models, and we never sell it. You can delete it permanently from inside the app.
Claims are resolved by individual arbitration rather than in court, unless you opt out within 30 days. See Section 14.

1. About These Terms

1.1 Who we are

JayWFoster, LLC is a Florida limited liability company (“JayWFoster,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). We operate the JayWFoster website and mobile applications and all related features and content (together, the “Service”).

1.2 Accepting these Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and JayWFoster. By creating an account, tapping to accept, making a purchase, or using the Service, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. Our Privacy Policy, available at jaywfoster.com/privacy, is part of this agreement.

1.3 Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. For minor changes we will post the update with a new version number and date. For material changes we will give you at least 30 days’ notice by email and in the app. If you have an active subscription, a material change will not apply to you until your next renewal after that notice, and you may cancel before then. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept it. We record which version you accepted and when.

1.4 Electronic communications

You agree that we may send you notices, agreements, and disclosures electronically, by email or in the app, and that this satisfies any requirement that they be in writing.

2. Who Can Use the Service

2.1 You must be 18 or older

You must be at least 18 years old, or older if that is the age of majority where you live. The Service is not directed to children and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. We may ask you to verify your age. If we learn that an account holder is under 18, we will close the account, delete the data, and refund any unused fees.

2.2 Your account

You may sign in with Google, with Apple, or with an email address and password. Keep your information accurate and your credentials confidential, and tell us promptly at [email protected] if you think someone else has accessed your account. Your account is personal to you — do not share it, transfer it, or let anyone else use it.

3. What the Service Is

3.1 What is included

The Service currently includes the Archetypes Indicator interview, which produces a free Synopsis and an optional paid Full Report, together with the subscription features described in Section 5.3. We add, change, and retire features over time. Nothing here is a promise to release or keep any particular feature.

3.2 Changes to the Service

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service. If we permanently discontinue something you bought outright under Section 5.2 within the preceding twelve months, we will give you at least 30 days’ notice. If we discontinue the subscription service, we will refund the unused part of your current month. Features labeled “Beta” or “Early Access” are provided as-is and may change or disappear without notice.

3.3 Availability

We will make reasonable efforts to keep the Service running, but we do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted or error-free.

4. Important: This Is AI, and It Is Not Therapy

4.1 You are interacting with artificial intelligence

Every conversation, report, prompt, persona, and voice on the Service is generated by artificial intelligence. You are not communicating with a human being. We tell you this when a session begins and repeat it periodically during longer sessions. No part of the Service involves a real person unless we say so at the time.

Personas have names, tones, and personalities to support reflection. They do not have consciousness, feelings, or understanding. No persona is, or may hold itself out as, a licensed therapist, counselor, psychologist, physician, social worker, or any other licensed professional. If an output ever suggests otherwise, it is wrong — please disregard it and tell us at [email protected].

4.2 Not medical or clinical care

The Service is a self-guided reflection and personal development tool. It is not a medical device, does not provide therapy, diagnosis, or treatment, and does not give medical, psychological, or psychiatric advice. Using it does not create a therapist-client, physician-patient, fiduciary, or other professional relationship, and we do not assume a duty of care for your physical, emotional, or psychological wellbeing.

4.3 The Service is not monitored

No one reads your session while it is happening, and no one will intervene. The Service does not detect crises, does not alert anyone on your behalf, and does not contact emergency services. We provide crisis resources in the app and below, but the Service is not a safety net and must never be relied on as one.

IF YOU ARE IN CRISIS, OR CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR SAFETY OR SOMEONE ELSE’S, CONTACT EMERGENCY SERVICES NOW. CALL OR TEXT 988 FOR THE SUICIDE AND CRISIS LIFELINE, OR CALL 911. DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE FOR HELP IN AN EMERGENCY.

4.4 Outputs may be wrong

AI systems produce output that can be inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent, biased, or badly suited to your situation. Nothing is reviewed by a person before you see it. You decide how to interpret and act on what the Service produces, and you should not rely on it as the only basis for an important decision.

4.5 We make no promises about results

We do not claim that the Service will improve your mood, mental health, relationships, career, or wellbeing, and we make no claims about healing, recovery, or therapeutic benefit. Descriptions of what a feature is designed to support are statements of intent, not promises of outcome.

4.6 If you have a health condition

If you have or suspect a physical or mental health condition, talk to a licensed professional before using the Service and continue any treatment they have prescribed. Never disregard or delay professional advice because of anything you read here. The Service supplements professional care; it never replaces it.

5. Payment

5.1 Free

The Archetypes Indicator interview and Synopsis are free. We may change what is free on 30 days’ notice.

5.2 Archetypes Indicator — Full Report (US$10, one time)

The Full Report costs US$10 as a single payment, plus any applicable tax. It is not a subscription and does not renew.

The Full Report is yours to keep. Buying it gives you a permanent, personal, non-transferable right to view and download that report. That right survives cancellation of any subscription, is not affected by the inactivity rules in Section 7.5, and continues for as long as we operate the Service. You may not resell or redistribute it.

5.3 Subscription (US$16 per month)

THE JAYWFOSTER SUBSCRIPTION RENEWS AUTOMATICALLY. UNLESS YOU CANCEL, IT WILL RENEW EVERY MONTH AND YOUR PAYMENT METHOD WILL BE CHARGED US$16 PER MONTH, PLUS APPLICABLE TAX, ON THE SAME DAY OF EACH MONTH, WITHOUT FURTHER ACTION BY YOU, UNTIL YOU CANCEL. YOU MAY CANCEL AT ANY TIME IN THE APP, WITH NO PENALTY AND NO FEE. CANCELLATION TAKES EFFECT AT THE END OF THE MONTH YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR.

The subscription unlocks Daily Attunement, Own the Morning!, Contemplations, Reflection Practices, and Author Your Story. Its terms are:

Length: one month, starting the day you subscribe.
Price: US$16 per month, plus applicable tax.
Renewal: automatic, monthly, on the same day each month, until you cancel.
Cancelling: any time in the app — see Section 5.4. No penalty, no cancellation fee.
Confirmation: we email you these terms and cancellation instructions immediately after you subscribe, and a receipt after each renewal.
Advance reminders: we email you before each renewal so that a charge is never a surprise.

5.4 How to cancel

Open the app and go to Settings → Subscription → Cancel Subscription. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the month you have already paid for. You keep full access until then, and you keep the Full Report if you bought it.

Cancelling is always available in the app, takes no more steps than subscribing did, and never requires you to call, chat, or listen to an offer. You can also email [email protected] from your account address and we will cancel for you. If you subscribed through the App Store or Google Play, cancel through that store — see Section 5.8.

5.5 Price changes

We may change our prices. We will email you at least 30 days before a change applies to you, and the new price takes effect at your first renewal after that. If you do not want to pay it, cancel before that renewal.

5.6 Refunds

Subscription fees are not refundable for partial months, and we do not refund unused time, except where Section 3.2 applies, where the law requires it, or where we choose to make an exception. If you think you have been charged in error, email [email protected] and we will look into it and put right any mistake of ours. Please contact us before starting a chargeback.

5.7 Taxes, payment processing, and failed payments

Prices exclude sales and similar taxes, which we add where required. Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc., or by Apple or Google for in-app purchases; we never receive or store your full card number. You authorize us and our processor to charge your payment method for amounts due, including renewals. Keep your payment details current. If a payment fails we may retry it for up to 14 days and may suspend access until it succeeds. Suspension for non-payment does not affect your permanent right to a Full Report you already bought.

5.8 Purchases through the App Store or Google Play

Purchases made in the Apple App Store or Google Play are processed by Apple or Google under their terms. Billing, cancellation, and refunds for those purchases are handled by Apple or Google, not by us, and this Section 5 is subject to their policies. Manage or cancel those subscriptions in your Apple or Google account settings. Purchases made on our website are processed by Stripe and governed by this Section 5.

6. Fair Use

The Service is meant for ordinary personal use by one person. You may not use automated or scripted tools to interact with it, generate content in bulk, resell or redistribute what it produces, share an account, or work around any limit we apply.

We may apply reasonable usage limits to keep the Service working well for everyone. If your usage goes far beyond ordinary personal use, we will contact you first, and we may then slow or temporarily pause AI features for the rest of the month, or suspend the account under Section 11. We will not charge you any extra fee for heavy usage unless you have separately and expressly agreed to that fee in advance.

7. Your Content and Your Data

7.1 You own what you write

“Your Content” means everything you put into the Service — interview answers, journal entries, check-ins and ratings, narratives, recordings, and messages. As between you and us, you own Your Content. We claim no ownership of it.

7.2 The permission you give us

You give us a limited, royalty-free license to store, process, and display Your Content only in order to run the Service for you, generate your reports and responses, help you when you ask, keep the Service secure, and meet our legal obligations. This license ends when Your Content is deleted.

7.3 We do not train AI models on your content

WE DO NOT USE YOUR CONTENT TO TRAIN, FINE-TUNE, OR DEVELOP ANY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MODEL, OURS OR ANYONE ELSE’S. WE DO NOT SELL YOUR CONTENT. WE DO NOT GIVE IT TO ANYONE FOR THEIR OWN MODEL DEVELOPMENT.

Producing your reports and responses requires sending Your Content to third-party AI providers, who act on our instructions only. We require them by contract not to train on it. They are listed in our Privacy Policy.

We do use aggregate operational figures — how many sessions ran, which features were used, error rates — to run the Service. Those figures contain none of Your Content.

If we ever want to change this, we will not apply the change to content you have already given us, and we will not apply it at all without asking you to opt in. Continuing to use the Service will not count as agreement. This commitment binds anyone who acquires the Service from us.

7.4 Reports and other outputs

You may use the reports and other content the Service generates for you for your own personal, non-commercial purposes, including downloading and printing them. You may not resell or redistribute them, present them to anyone as professional advice, or use them to build a competing service or train a model. Because outputs come from shared models, they may not be unique to you.

7.5 Deleting your data

You can delete your data at any time from inside the app, at Settings → Privacy → Delete My Data, and you can delete your whole account at Settings → Account → Delete Account. Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone, so export anything you want to keep first.

When you delete, we remove Your Content from our live systems immediately and from our encrypted backups within 30 days, after which it is gone. We keep only what we must: payment and tax records, and anything we need to meet a legal obligation, defend a legal claim, or prevent fraud.

If you have no subscription and have not signed in for 24 months, we will email you, and if we do not hear from you within 30 days we will delete your account and content the same way. A Full Report you have purchased is not deleted under this paragraph unless you ask us to delete it.

7.6 Feedback

Any suggestion or feature request you send us is not confidential, and we may use it freely without owing you anything.

8. Acceptable Use

You will not:

use the Service to harm, harass, threaten, or abuse anyone, or to promote hate or violence;
create or request content that is unlawful or sexually exploitative, and in particular any content that sexualizes a minor;
impersonate anyone, or give us another person’s information without their permission;
use the Service for any emergency, clinical, diagnostic, or treatment purpose, or present its outputs to anyone as professional advice;
reverse engineer the Service or try to extract its source code, model weights, or prompts;
scrape the Service, access it by automated means, or use it to generate training data;
get around security measures, usage limits, or paywalls;
resell, rent, or sublicense the Service or its outputs, or use them to build a competing product;
interfere with the operation or security of the Service; or
use the Service in violation of any law.

The Service is licensed for personal use. Using it, or its outputs, with or on behalf of clients, patients, students, or employees requires a separate written license from us — contact [email protected].

We may investigate suspected violations, remove content, and suspend or close accounts under Section 11. Where a problem can be fixed and is not serious, we will normally warn you first.

9. Our Intellectual Property

The Service and everything in it — software, AI personas and their names and voices, audio, text, design, branding, prompts, system logic, and report structures — belongs to JayWFoster, LLC or its licensors. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to use the Service and install the app on devices you own, for personal, non-commercial use. No other rights are granted. “JayWFoster” and our feature and persona names are our trademarks; do not use them without written permission.

If you believe material on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice meeting the requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to our designated agent: Jay Foster, JayWFoster, LLC, 1497 Market St.], Tallahassee, Florida 32312, [email protected]. We may close the accounts of repeat infringers.

10. Communications

Messages about your account — receipts, renewal reminders, security alerts, deletion warnings, and changes to these Terms — are part of the Service, and you cannot opt out of them while you have an account.

We send marketing email only if you opt in, and every marketing email has an unsubscribe link. We send text messages only if you separately opt in; we disclose message frequency and that message and data rates may apply at the point you opt in, you can reply STOP to stop or HELP for help, and agreeing to texts is never a condition of buying anything. Push notifications are optional and controlled in your device settings.

11. Suspension and Termination

You may cancel your subscription (Section 5.4) or delete your account (Section 7.5) at any time.

We may suspend or close your account, with notice where practical, if you materially breach these Terms, if we reasonably believe your use creates a legal or safety risk, if you do not pay, if the law requires it, or if we discontinue the Service under Section 3.2. For serious violations — threatening another person, content sexualizing a minor, or attacking the Service — we may act immediately and without notice.

When your account closes, your access ends. A Full Report you purchased stays available to you, except where we closed the account for a serious violation, in which case we may revoke it and will refund what you paid for it if you bought it in the last twelve months. If you think we made a mistake, email [email protected] within 30 days and we will review it. Sections 4, 5.6, 7.1 through 7.4, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 17 survive termination.

12. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE AND EVERYTHING IT PRODUCES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT ITS OUTPUTS WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR SUITED TO YOUR SITUATION, OR THAT IT WILL ACHIEVE ANY PARTICULAR RESULT. WE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICE WILL IDENTIFY, RESPOND TO, OR PREVENT ANY RISK OF HARM.

Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so parts of this Section may not apply to you.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, JAYWFOSTER AND ITS MEMBERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, OR DATA, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF WE WERE TOLD SUCH DAMAGES WERE POSSIBLE.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS (US$100).

Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or anything else that cannot lawfully be limited. Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so parts of this Section may not apply to you. You acknowledge that these limits are a basis of the bargain and that we could not offer the Service at these prices without them.

14. Disputes, Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver

THIS SECTION AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS: IT REQUIRES INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF COURT, WAIVES JURY TRIALS AND CLASS ACTIONS, AND GIVES YOU 30 DAYS TO OPT OUT.

14.1 Talk to us first

Before starting arbitration or a lawsuit, email [email protected] describing the dispute and what you want, and we will do the same for you. We will both try in good faith to resolve it for 60 days. This step comes first, and any deadline for bringing a claim pauses while it runs.

14.2 Arbitration

If that does not resolve it, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be settled by binding individual arbitration before a single arbitrator, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court — except as set out in Sections 14.4 and 14.5. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this Section. Arbitration will be held by videoconference, or where you live if you prefer, or on documents alone. The arbitrator may award you anything a court could, and the award may be entered as a judgment.

14.3 Costs

We will pay all AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration you start seeking less than US$10,000, unless the arbitrator finds the claim frivolous. Each of us otherwise pays our own legal fees, unless a statute says otherwise.

14.4 Small claims

Either of us may bring an individual claim in small claims court instead of arbitration, as long as it stays there and is not brought on a class basis.

14.5 Intellectual property

Either of us may ask a court for an injunction to protect intellectual property or stop unauthorized access to the Service.

14.6 Class action and jury trial waiver

YOU AND JAYWFOSTER MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER ONLY INDIVIDUALLY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT COMBINE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AND JAYWFOSTER EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

If this Section 14.6 is held unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim will be heard in court under Section 15, and the rest of Section 14 still applies to everything else.

14.7 How to opt out

You may opt out of arbitration and the class action waiver by emailing [email protected] with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out” and your name and account email, within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out changes nothing else about your account, and we will not treat you differently for doing it. If you opt out, Section 15 governs your disputes.

14.8 Survival

This Section survives the end of these Terms and the closing of your account.

15. Governing Law and Where Claims Are Brought

These Terms and any dispute relating to them or to the Service are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. For any dispute not subject to arbitration, you and we agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Leon County, Florida. Nothing here deprives you of the protection of any mandatory consumer law of the state where you live.

16. The Service Is Offered in the United States

We operate from the United States and offer the Service to users in the United States. We make no claim that it is appropriate or available elsewhere, and if you use it from outside the United States you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for local law. You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as supporting terrorism, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

17. Terms Required by the App Stores

Apple. If you got our app from the Apple App Store, the following apply and override anything inconsistent in these Terms for that app:

(a) These Terms are between you and JayWFoster only, not Apple, and JayWFoster alone is responsible for the app and its content.
(b) Your license is a non-transferable license to use the app on any Apple-branded product you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that it may also be accessed by other accounts associated with you through Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
(c) JayWFoster alone is responsible for maintenance and support. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services.
(d) JayWFoster alone is responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied, that are not effectively disclaimed. If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price of the app; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever.
(e) JayWFoster, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the app or your possession or use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection, privacy, or similar law.
(f) JayWFoster, not Apple, is solely responsible for investigating, defending, settling, and discharging any third-party claim that the app or your possession and use of it infringes that party’s intellectual property rights.
(g) You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as supporting terrorism, and are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
(h) Questions, complaints, and claims about the app should go to JayWFoster, LLC at the address in Section 19.
(i) You must comply with any applicable third-party terms when using the app.
(j) Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and on your acceptance Apple has the right to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.

Google. If you got our app from Google Play, your use is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. Google is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the app. Billing, cancellation, and refunds for Google Play purchases follow Google’s policies, as noted in Section 5.8.

18. General

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between us about the Service. If any provision is unenforceable, it will be narrowed as far as needed or removed, and the rest stays in effect. Our not enforcing something is not a waiver of it. You may not transfer these Terms or your account; we may transfer them to an affiliate or to a buyer of the business, on notice to you, and anyone who acquires the Service is bound by the commitment in Section 7.3. There are no third-party beneficiaries except Apple under Section 17(j). Neither of us is liable for delays caused by events beyond our reasonable control. We are independent parties, not partners or agents. We send notices to the email on your account, deemed received 24 hours after sending; you send them to [email protected]. Headings and the summary at the front are for convenience only. “Including” means “including without limitation.”

We aim to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 Level AA. If any part of the Service is hard for you to use, email [email protected] and we will find another way to get you the information.
