Terms of Service
By creating an account or using Anvyl you agree to these terms. They are written to be read. If anything here is unclear, write to hello@useanvyl.com and we will explain it.
1. Acceptance
These Terms of Service are a contract between you and Anvyl Inc. ("Anvyl," "we," "us"). They cover your use of the Anvyl iOS app, this website, and any related service we offer (collectively, the "Service"). By signing up, you accept these terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use Anvyl. Users aged 13–17 must have permission from a parent or guardian. You must also be legally able to enter a binding contract in your jurisdiction.
You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under US law, including OFAC sanctions, or under the laws of your jurisdiction.
3. Your account
- You are responsible for keeping your password and device secure. Tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access.
- One account per person. Don't share, sell, or transfer your account.
- Pick a display name that doesn't impersonate someone else and doesn't violate the Community Guidelines.
- The information you give us must be accurate.
4. Subscription & billing
Anvyl is a paid subscription service. Pricing at launch is USD $2.99/week or USD $59.99/year. Prices in other currencies are set by Apple at purchase time and may vary.
- Billing is via Apple. All subscriptions are sold and billed through the App Store. Your Apple ID is charged.
- Auto-renew. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- How to cancel. iPhone Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions → Anvyl → Cancel. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period; you keep access until then.
- Price changes. If we change the price, Apple will notify you and request your consent before charging the new amount.
- If a payment fails, your access may be paused until billing resumes.
5. Free trial
New subscribers receive a 7-day free trial. If you cancel before the trial ends, you pay nothing. If you do not cancel, your subscription begins automatically at the price displayed at sign-up. One trial per Apple ID.
6. Refunds
Refund requests for App Store purchases are handled by Apple, not by us, at reportaproblem.apple.com. We have no ability to process refunds directly. If you believe you were charged in error, contact us and we will do what we can to help you file the request with Apple.
7. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for any illegal purpose or in violation of any law.
- Harass, threaten, dox, or impersonate other users.
- Post content that promotes hate against a protected class, sexual content involving minors, gratuitous gore, self-harm content, or content that facilitates violence.
- Cheat the streak system — fake check-ins, scripted clients, multi-account abuse, or any attempt to inflate metrics dishonestly.
- Scrape, crawl, mirror, or otherwise systematically pull data from the Service.
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source of the app, except where this restriction is prohibited by law.
- Probe, attack, or interfere with the Service or any user's account.
- Use the Service to build a competing product.
The Community Guidelines extend this list. Read them at community-guidelines.html.
8. Public streaks & cohort posts
Anvyl works because the streak is witnessed. Your display name, avatar, current Account Heat state, per-letter levels, badges, and cohort posts are visible to other Anvyl users by default. You may switch individual challenges to private mode in Settings.
Do not post anything to a cohort forum or friend's profile that you would not want another user to see, screenshot, or report. We may remove content that violates the Community Guidelines without notice.
9. Your content & licence to us
You keep ownership of the content you create on Anvyl — posts, replies, profile text, avatars. By posting it, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute that content for the limited purpose of operating the Service (showing your post in your cohort, syncing it to your other devices, backing it up). This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except where we are required by law to retain it.
You promise that the content you post is yours to post — that it does not infringe someone else's copyright, trademark, privacy, or other rights.
10. Moderation & suspension
We may remove content or suspend/terminate accounts that violate these terms or the Community Guidelines. Serious violations (CSAM, doxxing, credible threats) result in an immediate, permanent ban. Less severe violations may receive a warning, a temporary suspension, or content removal. You can appeal a moderation action by writing to support@useanvyl.com; we aim to respond within 20 hours of receipt.
11. Termination
You may stop using Anvyl at any time. To close your account, use Settings → Account → Delete Account in the app. We may terminate or suspend your access if you breach these terms, if we are legally required to, or if continued provision becomes commercially unreasonable. If we terminate without cause, we will refund any unused prepaid subscription period (where Apple permits us to).
12. Disclaimers
Anvyl is provided "as is" and "as available." To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties — express, implied, statutory, or otherwise — including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.
Anvyl is not a substitute for medical, psychological, or professional advice. Habit tracking is a self-improvement tool, not a clinical intervention. If you are in crisis, contact local emergency services or a qualified professional.
13. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Anvyl Inc., its officers, directors, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including lost profits, lost data, or business interruption — arising out of or relating to your use of the Service, whether based in contract, tort, or any other legal theory, and whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Our total liability for any claim arising from or relating to these terms or the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD $100.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, the above limits apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.
14. Disputes & governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. The Wyoming state and federal courts located in Sheridan County have exclusive jurisdiction, except where local consumer law gives you the right to sue in your home jurisdiction.
Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us at kyle@useanvyl.com and try in good faith to resolve the matter informally for at least 60 days.
15. Changes
We may update these terms when the product or the law changes. Material changes are announced by email and in-app banner at least 14 days before they take effect; for subscription terms, the new terms apply only from your next renewal. Non-material updates (clarifications, typo fixes) take effect on publication. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page always reflects the current version.
If you do not agree to a material change, your only remedy is to stop using the Service and cancel your subscription before the next renewal.
