Terms of Service

The fine print, made readable.

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:

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

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:

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.

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.
