Aether Terms of Use

1. Who we are and what these terms cover

Aether is made and published by Seven Alpha Labs ("we," "our," or "us"). These terms cover the Aether app, including its home screen widget, on iOS and Android. By installing or using Aether, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the app. How we handle information is described separately in the Aether Privacy Policy.

2. Who can use Aether

Aether is not directed at children under 13. If you are under the age of majority where you live, use Aether only with the permission of a parent or guardian.

3. Your license to use the app

We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download Aether and use it on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use, in line with these terms and the rules of the store you got it from.

The app, its code, design, and name belong to Seven Alpha Labs or our licensors. The license does not let you copy, sell, rent, or redistribute the app, or reverse engineer, decompile, or modify it, except where the law allows that regardless of these terms. What you write in Aether is yours.

4. Crisis lines and safety features

Aether can show a crisis line chosen for your country, open your own dialler or messaging app with your emergency contact or doctor filled in, and offer crisis resources when what you tap or write suggests you may be struggling. These features are there to make help easier to reach. They can miss things, and they never contact anyone automatically. You decide whether to call or send anything.

We only include crisis numbers we have checked against the operator's own published details, and elsewhere we point to findahelpline.com, a directory run by someone else. Services and numbers can change without notice to us, and we are not responsible for the services those lines or websites provide. If a number does not work, contact your local emergency number.

5. Aether Pro and purchases

The core app is free and none of its free features are time limited. Aether Pro is a single, one-time in-app purchase that unlocks extra features such as Deep Trend Analysis, Persona Tuning, Encrypted Device Sync, Reflection Export, and Custom Haptics, plus Widget Themes on Android. It is not a subscription, so nothing renews and there is nothing to cancel. The price is the one shown in the store at the time you buy. In a few countries the store cannot sell in-app purchases, and Pro is not available there.

The purchase is made through the Apple App Store or Google Play and is tied to the Apple Account or Google account that bought it. Apple and Google process the payment, and refunds are handled by them under their own refund policies. We never see your payment details and cannot issue refunds ourselves. On iPhone or iPad, use reportaproblem.apple.com. On Android, use your Google Play purchase history. If the store turns you down and you think the app is at fault, email us.

6. Your entries and backups

Aether has no Seven Alpha Labs account. Your check-ins, reflections, safety plan, and contacts are stored on your device only, and we have no copy. Deleting the app deletes them. Encrypted backups are protected by a passphrase you choose and saved wherever you put them; if you lose the passphrase, nobody, including us, can recover the backup. Keeping your device, your backups, and your passphrase secure is up to you.

7. Changes to the app and these terms

We may update Aether, change or retire features, or stop offering it. If we change these terms, we will post the new version here and update the date at the top. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the updated terms.

8. Ending this agreement

You can end this agreement at any time by deleting the app. Your license ends automatically if you break these terms. The note above about medical care, the ownership part of section 3, and sections 9, 10, 11, and 12 still apply after it ends.

9. Disclaimer

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AETHER IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT PROMISE THAT THE APP WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED, THAT ITS SAFETY FEATURES WILL DETECT EVERY SITUATION, OR THAT DATA STORED ON YOUR DEVICE WILL NEVER BE LOST.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SEVEN ALPHA LABS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF DATA OR PROFITS, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF AETHER. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATED TO AETHER WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR AETHER PRO, IF ANY. Some places do not allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Any dispute about them will be resolved in the courts located in Denton County, Texas, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring it elsewhere.

12. Apple and Google

If you got Aether from the Apple App Store, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies, and these terms add to it. If the two conflict on iOS, Apple's agreement controls. In addition:

• These terms are between you and Seven Alpha Labs only, not Apple. Seven Alpha Labs, not Apple, is solely responsible for Aether and its content.
• Your license is limited to Apple-branded devices you own or control, as allowed by the App Store Usage Rules.
• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for Aether.
• If Aether fails to meet any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app.
• Apple is not responsible for any claims by you or anyone else relating to Aether, including product liability claims, claims that it fails to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, and consumer protection or privacy claims.
• If anyone claims that Aether infringes their intellectual property, Seven Alpha Labs, not Apple, is responsible for investigating, defending, settling, and discharging that claim.
• You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.

If you got Aether from Google Play, Google Play's terms of service also apply to your use of the store and your purchase. Google is not responsible for Aether or its support. On either platform, questions, complaints, and claims about the app come to us, not to Apple or Google.
