Terms of Service
The fine print, made readable.
LIVED isn't on the App Store yet. These terms already apply to this website and the waitlist. They'll apply to the app when it's released; if we change them before then, we'll update this page first.
The short version
- Your life stays yours.Your photos, Moments and Replays belong to you. We don't claim ownership of anything you create or capture.
- Be kind to the people you add.Friends is small and private. Don't harass, impersonate or spam anyone.
- LIVED+ is billed by Apple.It renews until you cancel in your Apple ID settings. If you stop paying, your data stays.
- LIVED is not a medical device or a backup service.Numbers can be imperfect, and your history lives on your phone. Export it if you want a copy.
- Leave anytime.Delete your account in the app whenever you like.
1. The agreement
These Terms are an agreement between you and Deacon Brantley, who runs LIVED ("LIVED", "we", "us"), based in Washington, United States. They cover the LIVED iPhone app, the LIVED+ subscription, this website and the waitlist (together, "LIVED"). By using any of them, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use LIVED.
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information and is part of these Terms.
2. Who can use LIVED
You must be at least 13 years old. If you're under the age of digital consent where you live (up to 16 in some countries, including parts of the EU), or under the age of majority, you need a parent or guardian's permission, and they agree to these Terms for you. You can't use LIVED if you're barred from it under the laws that apply to you.
3. Your account
Some features, such as Friends and LIVED+, need an account. You can sign in with Apple, Google or email. Keep your sign-in secure, give accurate information, and use one account per person. You're responsible for what happens under your account; tell us at deacon@livedhq.com if you think someone else is using it.
4. Your content and data
You own your photos, videos and the other content on your phone, and the Moments, Replays and other things LIVED makes from them ("your content"). We don't claim any ownership of it.
Most of LIVED runs on your iPhone, so we never see most of your content. Where a feature needs our servers, you give us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free permission to store and process the content involved, only to provide that feature to you and the people you choose. This includes showing your display name and profile photo to your friends, delivering a Replay you send to a friend, or running an AI task you've agreed to. That permission ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies other people already received from you.
Only share content you have the right to share. You're responsible for what you send to others, including through other apps. Copies you send outside LIVED can't be recalled.
5. Connected services
LIVED can connect to services such as Apple Photos, Apple Health, Apple Music, Spotify and Apple's WeatherKit. Using them is optional, and their own terms and privacy policies apply. We don't control them. If one changes, limits its data or stops working with LIVED, some features may change or stop. Music and other content from those services stays subject to their rules; for example, Replays you export may not include song recordings.
6. Friends and acceptable use
Friends is a small, private space. When you use LIVED, don't:
- harass, threaten, bully or impersonate anyone, or use a name or profile photo that's offensive, misleading or someone else's;
- send spam or mass unsolicited invites;
- share content that's illegal or infringes someone else's rights;
- try to access other people's accounts or data, or get around privacy and security protections;
- falsify leaderboard totals or tamper with how LIVED measures them;
- copy, scrape, reverse engineer, resell or interfere with LIVED, except where the law expressly allows it; or
- use LIVED for anything unlawful.
You can block anyone at any time. If someone breaks these rules, we may remove content, limit features or suspend or close their account, telling them why where we reasonably can.
7. LIVED+ subscriptions
- Free start. New users can try the full app for free for a limited period before LIVED+ is needed. The exact period is shown in the app and doesn't require payment details.
- Billing. LIVED+ is sold through Apple's App Store. The price, billing period and what's included are shown before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple account when you confirm.
- Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID subscription settings. Deleting the app or your account doesn't cancel a subscription.
- Refunds. Apple handles all payments and refunds under its policies. We can't issue refunds directly.
- Price changes. If the price changes, Apple will tell you in advance and, where required, ask you to agree before you're charged the new price.
- If LIVED+ ends, you keep your data, your streak, Friends and all privacy controls. Deeper features such as the full Replay archive may be limited until you subscribe again.
We may change what's included in LIVED+ over time. If a change materially reduces what you're paying for, we'll tell you in advance so you can cancel.
8. The website and waitlist
Joining the waitlist is free and creates no obligation on either side. It doesn't guarantee that LIVED will launch, when, or in which countries. The website describes LIVED as it's being built; features, timing and pricing may change. Photos, people, numbers and screens marked as samples are illustrations, not real users or results.
9. Our app and brand
LIVED's app, website, design, software, name and logo belong to us and are protected by law. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the LIVED app on Apple devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use, under these Terms and the App Store rules. Nothing in these Terms lets you use our name or logo.
If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without owing you anything.
10. Apple App Store terms
If you got LIVED from Apple's App Store, these points also apply:
- These Terms are between you and us, not Apple. We, not Apple, are responsible for LIVED and its content.
- Your license to use LIVED is limited to Apple-branded products you own or control, as allowed by the App Store's Usage Rules, except that Family Sharing may allow other accounts in your family group to access it.
- We're solely responsible for maintenance and support. Apple has no obligation to provide any.
- If LIVED fails to meet an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any. To the extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for LIVED.
- We, not Apple, are responsible for handling any claims about LIVED, including product liability claims, claims that it fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer protection or privacy claims.
- If anyone claims LIVED infringes their intellectual property, we, not Apple, are responsible for investigating, defending, settling and resolving that claim.
- You confirm that you're not in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you're not on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- You must also follow any third-party terms that apply when you use LIVED, such as your mobile carrier's.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
11. Changes and ending
LIVED will change as we improve it. We may add, change or remove features, and occasionally LIVED may be unavailable. If we ever shut LIVED down, we'll give reasonable notice and a way to export your data.
We may update these Terms. We'll post the new version here with a new effective date, and tell you in the app or by email before a material change applies. If you keep using LIVED after that, the new Terms apply; if you don't agree, stop using LIVED and delete your account.
You can stop using LIVED and delete your account at any time from inside the app. We may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these Terms, or where the law requires it. Sections 4, 9, 12, 13, 14 and 15 continue after your account ends.
12. Disclaimers
We work hard to make LIVED reliable and beautiful, but it's provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, and we don't promise LIVED will be uninterrupted or error-free.
- Not medical advice. LIVED isn't a medical, health or fitness device. Step counts, distances and other numbers come from your device and connected services and may be incomplete or inaccurate.
- Not a backup service. Your history is stored on your iPhone. If your phone is lost, reset or damaged without a backup, your LIVED history may be lost. Use your iPhone's backups and LIVED's export to keep a copy.
- AI can be wrong. AI-chosen covers and captions can be imperfect. Review them before you share.
Some places don't allow these disclaimers, so they may not all apply to you.
13. Limits on liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost data, profits or goodwill, arising from your use of LIVED. Our total liability for any claim relating to LIVED is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for LIVED+ in the 12 months before the claim, or US $50.
These limits don't apply where the law doesn't allow them, including for liability that can't be limited, such as for fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by negligence.
14. Disputes and governing law
If you have a problem with LIVED, please email deacon@livedhq.com first. Most issues can be sorted out quickly, and we'll both try in good faith for 30 days before going further.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that isn't resolved informally will be heard in the state or federal courts located in Washington, and you and we agree to their jurisdiction. Either of us may instead bring a claim in small claims court if it qualifies.
If you're a consumer, you keep any rights the law where you live gives you that can't be waived by contract, including, in the EU and UK, the right to bring proceedings in your own country.
15. General
- These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about LIVED.
- If part of these Terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies.
- If we don't enforce something right away, we haven't given up the right to do so later.
- You can't transfer these Terms to anyone else. We may transfer them as part of a reorganization, merger or sale of LIVED, as long as your rights under them continue.
- We aren't responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
- We may send you notices in the app or by email; you can reach us by email.
