Terms of Service

4.1 Registration required.

You must create an account to use the Services. You may sign in via email/password, Apple, or Google.

4.2 Accurate information.

You agree to provide accurate information and keep it up to date.

4.3 Usernames.

Nicknames are allowed. You must not impersonate others or use names that violate rights or laws.

4.4 Account security.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for activity under your account.

4.5 Multiple accounts.

Multiple accounts are generally permitted, but they must not be used to obtain duplicate referral rewards, bypass plan limits, evade enforcement, impersonate others, spam, commit fraud, or otherwise violate these Terms.

5.1 Private social spaces.

Habit Groups and Challenges are participant-scoped and normally accessible through a join code or invitation method provided in the app. A code can be forwarded by its recipient, so keep it within the audience you intend. CoThrive does not promise that another participant will keep shared content confidential.

5.2 Roles.

• Group Owner (Creator): may assign or remove admin status, delete posts including posts by admins, and remove members including admins;
• Admin: may delete posts and remove members, except removing other admins;
• Member: may report posts and delete their own posts.

5.3 Challenges.

Challenge creators can configure goals, schedules, start conditions, and participation settings made available in the app. Challenge progress, rankings, and results are calculated from participant activity and may be corrected if data, timing, or eligibility is wrong. Joining a Challenge does not guarantee any outcome, prize, or uninterrupted participation.

5.4 Friends and nudges.

Friend features can expose limited profile information and aggregate progress as described in the Privacy Policy. Nudges are intended as supportive reminders. You must respect another user’s settings and must not use nudges, requests, or codes for harassment, pressure, spam, or unwanted contact.

5.5 Additional space rules.

Group Owners, Admins, and Challenge creators may set additional rules that do not conflict with these Terms or applicable law. CoThrive is not responsible for interpersonal conflicts or for a user moderator’s decision, subject to CoThrive’s own legal obligations.

5.6 Primary user-moderation responsibility.

Groups are user-managed spaces. The Group Owner and Admins are primarily responsible for setting and enforcing Group rules and for moderating Content and member behavior within their Group, including reviewing reports and taking action such as removing Content or members.

5.7 No general monitoring obligation.

We are not obligated to proactively monitor Groups or Content. However, we may review Content or Groups and take action at any time to enforce these Terms, comply with law, protect users, or maintain the security and integrity of the Services.

7.1 Image posts.

The Services allow eligible users to upload images as posts in personal Habits, Habit Groups, and Challenges (‘Content’).

7.2 Your responsibility.

You are solely responsible for your Content. You may only upload Content you own or have permission to use. This includes permission from people appearing in photos where required by law.

7.3 No perfect privacy.

Personal spaces, Groups, and Challenges are private or participant-scoped by design, but no system is perfectly secure and participants can capture or reshare what they can see. Do not upload Content you would not want visible to the intended audience.

9.1 In-app reporting and contact.

You can report posts through the available in-app flow. In-app Group reports may first be visible to the relevant user moderators. To send a notice directly to CoThrive, including a notice of allegedly illegal content, email info@cothriveapp.com.

9.2 What to include (for illegal content notices).

A notice to CoThrive should be sufficiently precise and substantiated to let us identify and assess the material. Please include where possible:

• a substantiated explanation of why you believe the information is illegal;
• the exact electronic location or enough detail to identify it, such as Group or Challenge, user name, post time, post identifier, screenshot, or link;
• your name and email address, except where the law permits an anonymous notice;
• a statement confirming your good-faith belief that the information and allegations are accurate and complete;
• supporting context or evidence.

9.3 Group-level handling.

Reports submitted only within a Group may be handled by its Owner or Admins in the first instance. A user-moderator report is not necessarily a formal notice to CoThrive. CoThrive reviews notices that reach it and can take action where legal compliance, safety, or platform integrity is involved.

9.4 Acknowledgment and decision.

Where required by applicable law and electronic contact details are available, we will acknowledge receipt and communicate our decision without undue delay. Notices and reporters must not abuse the process or knowingly submit false allegations.

10.1 Possible actions.

We may remove or restrict Content, restrict group features, suspend accounts, or terminate accounts.

10.2 Statement of reasons.

Where applicable law requires it, when we restrict Content, a feature, or an account because information is allegedly illegal or violates these Terms, we will provide a clear statement of reasons, subject to lawful exceptions. The notice may be delivered in the app or by email.

10.3 Appeal.

If you believe a moderation action was incorrect, you may appeal by emailing info@cothriveapp.com with relevant details. We may request additional information and may uphold, reverse, or modify the action.

11.1 Habit rhythms.

Habit schedules may include intervals (every X days), counts per week (X times per week), or specific weekdays, calculated using your device or user timezone.

11.2 No guarantee of accuracy.

Streaks, reminders, nudge availability, Challenge results, rankings, contributions, Compound Routine state, analytics, and other progress indicators are provided for convenience and motivation. Calculations can be affected by time zones, offline use, late synchronization, moderation, corrected data, or outages. We do not guarantee that they are always accurate, complete, or uninterrupted.

11.3 No professional advice.

The Services do not provide medical, psychological, therapeutic, or other professional advice, and are not a substitute for such advice. The Services do not guarantee habit success, health outcomes, or behavioral results.

12.1 Exports.

Export features are provided on an ‘as available’ basis. We do not guarantee exports will always be available, compatible, complete, or error-free.

12.2 Backups.

You are responsible for maintaining your own backups of Content you consider important. Subject to Section 18 and mandatory law, CoThrive is not responsible for loss caused solely by your actions, your device, or a third-party service outside our control.

13.1 Current plan limits.

At the effective date of these Terms, the Free plan allows up to three routine slots across standalone Habits, Habit Groups, and Compound Routines, plus one counting Challenge that is awaiting participants or active. The Pro plan allows up to 50 unified slots across those routines and counting Challenges. Finished Challenges do not count toward the active Challenge limit.

How a Compound Routine affects slot counting depends on whether standalone Habits are linked into it, as reflected in the app. Current plan limits and included features are shown before purchase and can be changed prospectively only in accordance with Section 22 and mandatory law.

13.2 Pro features and offers.

Pro features may include the higher unified limit, more detailed analytics, custom reminders, and export tools. CoThrive currently offers weekly and monthly auto-renewing subscriptions where made available. The binding price, currency, billing period, trial or introductory terms, and included features are the details displayed in the applicable purchase screen before you confirm.

13.3 Store billing and renewal.

Subscriptions are processed through the Apple App Store or Google Play where offered. Unless the purchase screen says otherwise, a subscription renews automatically for the selected billing period until cancelled. Store terms and applicable law govern purchase authorization, renewal timing, cancellation, and refund processing. Manage or cancel the subscription in the relevant store account settings.

13.4 Account deletion is not cancellation.

Deleting your CoThrive account or the app does not cancel a store subscription and does not by itself stop future renewals. Cancel separately in the Apple App Store or Google Play. If your subscription or promotional entitlement ends, access to Pro features may end, while mandatory access and consumer rights remain unaffected.

13.5 Refunds and statutory rights.

We do not control all store billing or refund decisions. Contact the relevant store where its rules require this, or contact us if a statutory remedy must be provided by CoThrive.

If you are a consumer and mandatory laws grant you statutory rights regarding digital services, including remedies for non-conformity, those rights remain unaffected.

13.6 Referral eligibility.

Where the referral program is offered, an invited person must be a new eligible user, use one valid referral attribution during sign-up, and complete the post-sign-up onboarding milestone. Only one referral can be attributed to an invited account. Self-referrals, duplicate attributions, sham or duplicate accounts, bots, manipulated onboarding, sale or exchange of codes, and other attempts to obtain unearned rewards are prohibited.

13.7 Current referral reward.

At the effective date, an eligible invited user receives 14 days of promotional Pro access after qualification. The referrer receives 14 days only for their first successful referral. A user can receive no more than 28 total referral-reward days. A promotional entitlement does not by itself start, extend, or cancel a paid store subscription.

13.8 Reward conditions.

Referral rewards have no cash value, are not transferable, cannot be exchanged, and may take time to appear because qualification and provider processing are asynchronous. A reward can be withheld, corrected, or revoked where it resulted from fraud, manipulation, duplicate attribution, technical error, an ineligible account, or a breach of these Terms.

13.9 Referral program changes.

We may suspend or change the referral program prospectively for a valid operational, security, fraud-prevention, economic, or legal reason and will provide reasonable notice where appropriate. A lawfully earned reward will not be removed retroactively except for fraud, abuse, ineligibility, or error. The Privacy Policy explains referral and attribution data processing.

14.1 Our IP.

The Services, including software, design, text, logos, and trademarks, are owned by CoThrive or licensors and are protected by applicable laws.

14.2 Limited license to you.

Subject to these Terms and for the duration of your entitlement to use the relevant features, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Services for your own non-commercial use. Suspension or termination is governed by Section 20 and mandatory law.

14.3 Restrictions.

You must not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, reverse engineer, or attempt to extract source code, except where such restrictions are prohibited by law.

14.4 Feedback.

If you send suggestions or feedback, you grant us the right to use it without restriction or compensation.

17.1 Availability.

We provide the Services with the availability and quality required by the contract and applicable law. Temporary interruptions can occur for maintenance, security updates, capacity limits, emergencies, or third-party outages. We will use reasonable efforts to limit avoidable disruption.

17.2 Digital-product conformity and updates.

Consumers retain all mandatory rights relating to conformity of digital products and services, remedies for defects, and updates, including security updates, for the period required by applicable law. Nothing in these Terms excludes or reduces those rights.

17.3 No guaranteed personal outcome.

CoThrive is a motivational tool. It does not guarantee that you will achieve a Habit, Challenge, health, wellbeing, productivity, or other personal outcome.

18.1 Unlimited liability.

CoThrive is liable without limitation in accordance with statutory law:

• for intent or gross negligence;
• for injury to life, body, or health;
• for liability under mandatory product-liability law;
• where CoThrive has assumed a guarantee;
• for any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.

18.2 Slight negligence and essential duties.

For damage caused by slight negligence, CoThrive is liable only for breach of an essential contractual duty, meaning a duty whose performance is necessary for proper performance of the contract and on which you may regularly rely. In that case, liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract.

18.3 Other slight-negligence claims.

Subject to Section 18.1 and mandatory consumer law, liability for other damage caused by slight negligence is excluded. The same limitations apply to CoThrive’s legal representatives and agents.

18.4 User Content and third parties.

CoThrive is not responsible for another user’s Content, reshares, interpersonal conduct, or user-level moderation decision merely because the Services technically host or transmit it. This does not limit CoThrive’s own duties after receiving notice, its own fault, or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

20.1 Enforcement actions.

We may take action including warnings, Content removal, temporary restrictions, group restrictions, suspension, or termination, depending on severity, repetition, and risk.

20.2 Grounds.

We may act if we reasonably believe you violated these Terms, the Community Rules, or applicable law, or if your use creates a concrete security, fraud, safety, or legal risk for us or others. A measure will take account of severity, frequency, fault, and affected rights. Where reasonable, we will warn you and allow a remedy before terminating an account; an advance warning is not required for a serious breach or urgent risk.

20.3 Immediate action.

We may act immediately to protect users, comply with law, or secure the Services.

20.4 Effects on progress indicators.

Content removal or restrictions may affect streaks and analytics.

20.5 Account deletion by you.

You may start deletion through in-app settings or contact support. Account deletion is separate from cancelling an Apple App Store or Google Play subscription; you must cancel the store subscription separately. We may retain limited information where required by law or reasonably necessary for security, fraud or abuse prevention, compliance, and legal claims, as explained in the Privacy Policy.

20.6 Effects of termination.

When the contract ends, your right to use the account and paid features ends, subject to any legally required transition, export, reimbursement, or continued access. Terms that by their nature continue after termination remain in force.

22.1 Updates and maintenance.

We may provide updates needed to maintain conformity, security, compatibility, and legal compliance. Install updates within a reasonable time after being informed of their availability and consequences. We are not responsible for a lack of conformity caused solely by failure to install a properly supplied update where the statutory requirements for that consequence are met.

22.2 Permitted Service changes.

Beyond updates needed to maintain conformity, we may change a feature where these Terms provide a sufficient contractual basis and there is a valid reason, such as improving functionality or accessibility, responding to security or abuse, adapting to law or store requirements, maintaining compatibility, replacing a discontinued third-party dependency, or adapting capacity. A change will be made without additional cost to you and we will inform you clearly.

22.3 Material negative changes.

If a change negatively affects a consumer’s access to or use of the digital product more than only minimally, we will inform the consumer on a durable medium within the period required by law about the characteristics and time of the change and the right to terminate. Where Section 327r BGB or equivalent law applies, the consumer can terminate free of charge within 30 days unless a statutory exception applies, including where the unchanged version remains accessible without additional cost and in conformity.

22.4 Terms updates.

We may update these Terms for a valid reason, including a change in law, security risk, abuse pattern, Service functionality, provider dependency, or correction of an ambiguity. Changes do not retroactively remove accrued rights. We will give reasonable advance notice of material changes and request affirmative acceptance where required. Continued use alone counts as acceptance only where applicable law and the notice permit that consequence.

22.5 Suspension or discontinuation.

If we suspend or discontinue a material part of the Services, we will provide reasonable advance notice where possible and any remedy, refund, export opportunity, or termination right required by law. Urgent security, legal, or force-majeure situations may require immediate action.

23.1 Governing law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding conflict-of-law rules and the CISG.

23.2 Consumers.

If you are a consumer in the EU/EEA or another jurisdiction with mandatory consumer protections, those mandatory rights remain unaffected.

23.3 Venue.

If you are a consumer, you may generally bring claims in the courts of your habitual residence where mandatory law provides. Otherwise, the courts at the Provider’s place of residence in Germany will have jurisdiction to the extent permitted by law.

27.1 Severability.

If any provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.

27.2 No waiver.

Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.

27.3 Survival.

Provisions that by their nature should survive will remain effective after termination, including Sections 8, 14, 16, 18–19, and 23–27, only to the extent necessary and legally valid.

27.4 Notices.

Legal notices to CoThrive must be sent to info@cothriveapp.com and to the postal address listed under Parties, postal address & legal notices at the start of these Terms. We may send notices to you by email, in-app message, or other reasonable means.

27.5 Entire agreement.

These Terms, together with the binding purchase details displayed before a paid transaction and any mandatory app-store terms, form the agreement regarding the Services. The Privacy Policy is a separate notice and is not part of that agreement.
