Status: draft, not yet in forceEffective:EFFECTIVE DATEAlso the End User Licence Agreement
Not yet a finished document. The descriptions of how the app behaves
are accurate — they were read out of the source, not assumed. What is not
settled is everything marked LIKE THIS: who the
contract is with, the subscription price and trial length, and the
jurisdiction. Those must be filled in and the whole document reviewed by a
qualified adviser before the app is submitted. Apple additionally requires a
working link to this page from the App Store listing and from the paywall
inside the app. The full list is kept in CLAUDE.md.
The short version
One subscription covers both of you. Whoever pays
unlocks the app for the couple, not for a seat.
Apple takes the money, not us. Billing, renewals and
refunds are handled in your App Store account.
What you write stays yours. The only licence you give
is the one needed to store it and show it to your partner.
The Map is an inference, not a record. It reads the
stamps on your photographs and draws a conclusion. It can be wrong.
Nothing here takes away your statutory rights. If you
are a consumer, the law you live under wins over anything below.
This summary has no legal effect. The sections below do.
1. The agreement
These terms are a contract between you and
LEGAL NAME of
REGISTERED ADDRESS ("we", "us"), and they govern
your use of the Two of Us iPhone app and this website. They are also the
End User Licence Agreement for the app.
By downloading or using the app you accept them. If you do not, do not use
the app — and if you have already paid, section 6 explains how to get your
money back from Apple.
An iPhone app for two people in a relationship. It contains a shared map
built from the date and location stamps on your own photographs; games
you each answer in your own time and then compare; a shared list of things
you are counting down to; and widgets that put some of it on your Lock
Screen.
It is entertainment. It is not counselling, therapy, relationship advice,
navigation, a safety tool or a record you should rely on for anything that
matters. Please do not use it to settle an argument about where somebody
was.
The app is currently in beta. Features may change,
break, or be withdrawn, and data may occasionally be lost. We will not
pretend otherwise.
3. Who may use it
You must be at least MINIMUM AGE years old. By
using the app you confirm that you are, and that you are not barred from
using it under the laws that apply to you.
4. Accounts
You can sign in with Apple, or continue without it. Both give you a real
account. They differ in one important way:
Sign in with Apple ties your account to your Apple ID,
so you can get back into it on a new phone.
Continuing without it creates an account that exists
only on the device you made it on. If you lose that device,
delete the app, or reset it, that account and everything in it is gone
and cannot be recovered by us or by you. That includes a
subscription's link to your couple.
You are responsible for what happens under your account and for keeping
your device secure. Do not share your account with anyone; the second seat
in a couple exists for exactly that purpose.
5. Couples
A couple is two accounts joined by a six-character invite code. One
account is in one couple at a time, and a couple holds at most two people.
Joining a couple means the other person can see the things described in
the Privacy Policy — your places, your
wishlist, and your answers to questions they have also answered. Treat an
invite code like a key: anyone you give it to can take the free seat.
Either of you may leave at any time. Leaving detaches you and lets you
start again. It does not delete your account, and — see the
Privacy Policy for exactly what leaving
does and does not remove — it does not undo what your partner has already
seen.
We take no view on your relationship and provide no mechanism for
resolving a dispute between the two of you over shared content. If you
want your own data gone, delete your account.
6. Subscriptions and payment
What costs money, and what doesn't
The games, the countdowns, and how far apart the two of you are do not
cost anything. A subscription unlocks the Map, and having the rest arrive
on your Lock Screen as widgets. We may change which features sit on which
side of that line while the app is in beta; if we move something you are
already using behind the subscription, we will say so in the app before we
do it.
One subscription, two people
Access belongs to the couple, not to a person. Whoever
subscribes unlocks the app for both members, for as long as the
subscription is active. This is deliberate and is not a loophole; there is
no second seat to buy.
Price and billing
The subscription is PRODUCT NAME at
PRICE per PERIOD,
following a TRIAL LENGTH free trial. The price
shown in the app at the moment you buy is the price that applies, in your
local currency, and it governs over anything written here.
Apple is the seller. Payment is charged to your Apple ID
at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically at the
same price unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end
of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours
before the period ends. You manage and cancel subscriptions in your Apple
ID account settings, not in this app — we cannot cancel one for you.
If a free trial is offered, any unused portion is forfeited when you buy a
subscription, where Apple's rules provide for that.
Refunds and cancellation rights
Refunds are handled by Apple under the App Store terms, and we have no
power to issue one. If you are a consumer in the UK or EU you also have a
statutory right to cancel a distance contract within 14 days; because the
app gives you access immediately, that right may be lost once you begin
using the paid features, as the law allows. Either way, ask Apple first —
it is the fastest route.
When it lapses
If the subscription ends, the paid features lock. Your data is not
deleted; your map, answers and history wait for you. You can
delete your account at any time if you would rather they did not.
Changes to the price
We may change the price for future periods. Apple will notify you and ask
for your consent where its rules require it, and you can cancel before the
new price takes effect.
7. Gift codes
We sometimes issue codes granting access without payment — for family,
testers and reviewers. A code is not property, has no cash value, cannot
be sold or exchanged, may be limited in uses and duration, and may be
withdrawn if it is being abused. Redeeming one grants access to the couple
you are already in.
8. Your content
Your names, your answers, your wishlist notes, the things you are counting
down to, the places on your map, your profile picture and the photographs
you take in the app are yours. We claim no ownership of
any of it.
To run the app we need your permission to do a small, specific set of
things with it: to store it, to back it up, to transmit it between your
two devices, and to display it to you and to the partner you chose. That
is the whole licence — non-exclusive, worldwide only because servers are,
royalty-free, and lasting only as long as you keep the content in the
app.
We will not use what you write to advertise, to train a
model, to publish, or to show anybody who is not your partner.
You are responsible for having the right to share what you share — which
includes a profile picture: only upload one you are entitled to use, and
bear in mind that it will be shown on your partner's Lock Screen, where
anyone glancing at their phone can see it. You keep your own copy of
everything; the app is not a backup service.
Your name and your picture are yours. Once you are both
in the couple, each of you can change only your own — neither of you can
rename or re-photograph the other. Until the second person joins, whoever
set the couple up can fill in both, because there is nobody there yet to
do it themselves.
The countdown list is the other way round, and deliberately so: either of
you can add, change or remove anything on it, because a plan belongs to
the pair rather than to one of you. The anniversary works the same way. If
that is not a level of trust you want, do not pair.
Sharing how far apart you are is switched on per person, on their
own phone. Neither of you can turn it on for the other, and
either of you can turn it off at any moment — including the optional
setting that lets it keep up in the background. Pressing somebody to
switch either of them on, or leaving them on for somebody who has asked
you not to, is the behaviour section 9 prohibits.
9. How you may use it
We grant you a personal, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the
app on Apple devices you own or control, in line with the App Store's
Usage Rules. You may not:
use it unlawfully, or to harass, deceive, coerce, monitor or control
another person — including the person you share it with;
use it to build a picture of somebody's movements without their
knowledge and agreement;
copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile or attempt to extract the
source, except to the extent the law expressly permits;
interfere with the service, probe or bypass its access controls, scrape
it, or automate access to it;
resell, rent, sublicense or commercially exploit it, or share a paid
seat outside your couple;
upload anything unlawful, or anything you have no right to upload.
The second and third bullets are not boilerplate. An app built on the
places two people have been is capable of being misused against one of
them, and doing so is a breach of these terms as well as, quite possibly,
the law.
10. The Map is an inference
The Map does not know where you have been. It reads the date and location
that your camera wrote onto your photographs, groups them, and concludes
that two people who have photographs from the same area on overlapping
days were probably there together.
That conclusion can be wrong, in both directions. A photograph can carry a
missing, wrong or edited location. A phone can be borrowed. A trip with no
photographs leaves no trace at all. Places you were genuinely together can
be missed, and places you were not can appear.
Nothing the Map shows is evidence of anything. It is
offered as a memory, not a record, and must not be relied upon for any
decision that matters — legal, financial, or personal. We accept no
liability for conclusions drawn from it.
11. Our intellectual property
The app, its design, its artwork, its name, its games and the text of its
question decks belong to us and are protected by copyright and trade mark
law. Nothing in these terms transfers any of that to you beyond the
licence in section 9.
If you send us an idea or a suggestion, we may use it without owing you
anything. We would rather have the suggestion than the silence.
12. Availability and changes
We aim to keep the app working and do not promise that it always will.
It depends on Apple, on our hosting provider, and on your network, none of
which we control.
We may change, add or remove features. If we remove something you are
paying for, or make a change that materially reduces what a paid
subscription gives you, we will tell you first and you may cancel.
We may change these terms. Material changes will be notified in the app
or by email before they take effect, and continuing to use the app
afterwards means you accept them. If you do not, you may cancel and stop
using it.
13. Apple
The App Store requires the following, and all of it is true:
These terms are between you and us only, not Apple.
We alone are responsible for the app and its content.
Your licence to use the app is limited to Apple-branded products you
own or control, as permitted by the App Store Usage Rules.
Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support
for the app. We do.
If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify
Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price. To the maximum extent
permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation of any kind,
and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses
attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty are our
responsibility.
We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claim by you or a
third party relating to the app — including product liability, any
failure to comply with a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims
under consumer protection or similar legislation.
We, not Apple, are responsible for investigating and resolving any
claim that the app infringes a third party's intellectual property.
You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a US
Government embargo or designated as terrorist-supporting, and that you
are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
You must comply with any applicable third-party terms when using the
app.
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of
these terms and have the right to enforce them against you.
Questions, complaints or claims about the app should come to
SUPPORT EMAIL, not to Apple.
14. Warranties
If you are a consumer, you have legal rights about digital content — that
it be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described — and
nothing in these terms limits them. In the UK those rights come from the
Consumer Rights Act 2015.
Beyond those rights, and to the extent the law allows, the app is provided
"as is". We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free,
secure against every threat, or that the places and conclusions it shows
are accurate.
15. Liability
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death
or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent
misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Subject to that, and to the extent the law permits:
We are not liable for loss that was not reasonably foreseeable when you
started using the app.
We are not liable for loss of profit, loss of business, or loss arising
from use of the app for any business purpose — it is supplied for
personal use.
We are not liable for the acts of the person you share a couple with,
for what they do with what you shared, or for any consequence of your
relationship.
Our total liability to you for all claims in any twelve-month period is
limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the app in that
period and LIABILITY FLOOR.
We are not liable for failures caused by things outside our reasonable
control, including outages at Apple or at our hosting provider.
16. Ending it
You may stop at any time: delete your account in Settings, cancel any
subscription through Apple, and delete the app.
We may suspend or end your access if you materially breach these terms —
in particular section 9 — or if we are required to by law. Where it is
reasonable to do so we will warn you first and give you a chance to put it
right. If we end your access without cause, we will refund the unused
part of any subscription period, which in practice means asking Apple to.
Sections 8, 10, 11, 14, 15, 17 and 18 survive the end of this agreement.
17. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the law of
JURISDICTION, and its courts have
non-exclusive jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, this does not
deprive you of the protection of the mandatory law of the country you live
in, and you may bring proceedings there.
Please write to us before doing any of that; almost everything is easier
to fix than to litigate.
18. General
If any part of these terms is held unenforceable, the rest continues.
If we do not enforce something straight away, we have not given it up.
We may transfer our rights and obligations to another organisation,
for example if the app is sold. Your rights will not be reduced, and we
will tell you. You may not transfer yours without our agreement.
Nobody other than you, us and — under section 13 — Apple has any right
to enforce these terms.
These terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us
about the app.
