Terms of Service — Cadelyst

1. Agreement to Terms

By creating an account or using Cadelyst ("the App," "Service," or "we/us/our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service. You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account or use the Service.

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. We will notify you of any material changes via email or in-app notice at least thirty (30) days before such changes take effect. For non-material changes, updates may take effect immediately upon posting. Continued use of the Service after any changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

2. Description of Service

Cadelyst is a personal productivity and accountability application designed to help users set and pursue their own goals through structured planning tools and AI-assisted coaching. It is not a mental health service, therapeutic platform, or professional advisory tool of any kind. The Service provides:

Goal setting and tracking across any life area
AI-generated goal roadmaps with phased milestones and weekly breakdowns
Daily priority task planning and accountability reviews
An AI-powered coaching feature powered by Anthropic's Claude AI model
A personal journal with daily reflection prompts
A win/loss calendar to track daily execution
A Brain Dump capture tool for tasks and ideas with due dates
Weekly planning tools and schedule management
Saved conversation history with the AI coach

3. Subscriptions, Billing, and Auto-Renewal

Cadelyst offers the following paid plans after a 7-day free trial:

Monthly Plan — $24.99 per month, billed monthly
Annual Plan — $229 per year, billed once annually (approximately $19 per month)

Each plan includes up to 800 AI coach messages per calendar month, resetting on the first of each month.

AUTOMATIC RENEWAL DISCLOSURE: Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing period — monthly or annually — at the then-current subscription rate, unless you cancel before your renewal date. The renewal charge will be applied to the payment method on file. Before your free trial ends, we will send you a reminder via email at least three (3) days in advance of your first charge, stating the renewal date, the plan amount that will be billed, and a direct link to cancel. Before any subsequent annual renewal, we will send a similar reminder at least three (3) days in advance. You can cancel at any time through Settings in the app or by emailing Hello@Cadelyst.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period and you retain access until then.

Your free trial begins when you complete onboarding. You will not be charged during the trial period. After the trial ends, if you have not canceled your subscription, your payment method will automatically be charged for the plan you selected during signup.

Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. By providing payment information, you authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis for the selected plan. All fees are in USD. Fees are non-refundable except where required by applicable law.

We reserve the right to change pricing with at least thirty (30) days' advance notice. Price changes will not affect your current billing period. If you do not cancel before a price change takes effect, your continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

4. AI Coach — Nature, Limitations, and User Discretion

The AI coaching feature in Cadelyst is a productivity and accountability tool designed to help you organize your goals, plan your days, and build consistency through structured reflection and AI-assisted feedback. It is a motivational productivity tool only — not a substitute for professional advice of any kind.

THE AI COACHING FEATURE IS A PRODUCTIVITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY TOOL ONLY. IT IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, PSYCHIATRIC, NUTRITIONAL, FINANCIAL, LEGAL, FITNESS, OR ANY OTHER LICENSED PROFESSIONAL ADVICE.

By using the AI coaching feature, you expressly acknowledge and agree that:

AI responses are generated by a third-party large language model (Anthropic's Claude) and do not constitute professional advice of any kind
The AI coach cannot diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any physical or mental health condition
All AI-generated suggestions — including tasks, routines, goals, habits, exercises, financial actions, and relationship strategies — are for informational and motivational purposes only and are not tailored professional recommendations
You are solely responsible for evaluating any AI suggestion before acting on it
Cadelyst has no control over what the AI model generates in any given conversation, and AI outputs may occasionally be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, biased, or otherwise inappropriate
We cannot guarantee any specific outcome as a result of following AI coaching suggestions
If you have any medical condition, mental health concern, or are under the care of a healthcare provider, you should consult your provider before acting on any AI suggestion related to health, fitness, diet, or mental wellbeing

CRISIS SAFETY NOTICE: If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, suicidal thoughts, or are in immediate danger, please contact the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988, or call 911. The AI coach is not equipped to address crisis situations and is not a substitute for emergency mental health support.

The AI coach accesses your stored app data — including goals, tasks, journal entries, calendar history, roadmaps, and weekly plans — to personalize responses. You consent to this data being used for coaching context. You are subject to a usage cap of 800 AI coach messages per calendar month, resetting on the first of each month, as described in Section 3.

RESULTS DISCLAIMER: Individual results from using Cadelyst will vary significantly. The AI-generated roadmaps, goal suggestions, daily plans, and coaching advice are based on information you provide and general best practices. They do not account for every individual circumstance, physical condition, mental health status, financial situation, or other personal factor. No specific outcome is promised, implied, or guaranteed.

AI CONTENT MODERATION: Cadelyst implements automated content filtering designed to prevent the AI coach from responding to requests involving violence, self-harm, illegal activities, sexual content, harassment, hate speech, or any content that could harm the user or others. If you encounter AI-generated content that seems inappropriate, please report it immediately to Hello@Cadelyst.com.

COACH PERSONA AND LIKENESS DISCLAIMER: Cadelyst allows users to customize their AI coach with a name, photo, and personality. This customization is entirely the user's choice and responsibility. Cadelyst does not endorse, sponsor, or approve of any specific persona a user creates. The existence of any coach persona resembling a real person does not indicate that person's endorsement of, affiliation with, or sponsorship of Cadelyst or its products. Users bear sole responsibility for personas they create, and creation of a persona in violation of Section 6 is a material breach of these Terms. Cadelyst expressly disclaims any liability arising from user-created personas that resemble real individuals.

AI OUTPUT LIABILITY LIMITATION: DESPITE OUR CONTENT FILTERING MEASURES, AI-GENERATED RESPONSES MAY OCCASIONALLY BE INACCURATE, INCOMPLETE, OR CONTEXTUALLY INAPPROPRIATE. CADELYST, ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, AND AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY HARM, LOSS, OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM RELIANCE ON AI-GENERATED CONTENT.

5. User Accounts and Responsibilities

You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Service. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old.

RIGHT-OF-PUBLICITY PROHIBITION: You expressly agree not to create an AI coach persona using the name, likeness, photograph, voice, signature, or any other identifying characteristic of any real person — whether a public figure, celebrity, athlete, entertainer, or private individual — without that person's express written consent. This prohibition applies regardless of whether you intend commercial gain or personal use. Creating a persona in violation of this provision is a material breach of these Terms and may result in immediate account termination.

RIGHT-OF-PUBLICITY TAKEDOWN PROCEDURE: Any individual who believes their name, likeness, photograph, voice, or other identifying characteristic is being used in a Cadelyst coach persona without their consent may submit a written complaint to Hello@Cadelyst.com. The complaint should describe the nature of the concern and, where possible, include documentation. Cadelyst will review the complaint within five (5) business days and take appropriate action, which may include removing the content, suspending the relevant features, or terminating the account.

7. Data and Content

You retain ownership of all personal data, goals, journal entries, and content you create within Cadelyst ("User Content"). By using the Service, you grant us a limited license to store and process your User Content solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you.

We do not sell your User Content to third parties. We do not use your personal journal entries or goal data for advertising purposes. Your User Content is sent to Anthropic's API for AI response generation and is not used to train AI models without your consent.

8. Third-Party Services

Cadelyst integrates with third-party service providers whose terms and privacy policies also apply to your use. These providers process your data solely to provide services to Cadelyst on our behalf and are prohibited by contract from using your data for their own commercial purposes:

You may request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time through Settings → Delete Account, or by contacting Hello@Cadelyst.com.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT: (A) THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS; (B) THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE; (C) AI-GENERATED CONTENT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES; OR (D) ANY RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICE WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE. CADELYST MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING THE OUTCOMES OF ANY GOALS, TASKS, HABITS, HEALTH PRACTICES, FINANCIAL DECISIONS, OR OTHER ACTIVITIES SUGGESTED OR REFERENCED BY THE AI COACH.

The foregoing disclaimers do not apply to any liability that cannot be disclaimed under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by gross negligence or intentional misconduct, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CADELYST AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION: LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES; PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE OF ANY NATURE; ANY HARM RESULTING FROM FOLLOWING AI COACH SUGGESTIONS; ANY OUTCOMES ARISING FROM USE OF OR RELIANCE ON THE SERVICE; ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF YOUR DATA; OR ANY BUGS, VIRUSES, OR OTHER HARMFUL CODE TRANSMITTED THROUGH THE SERVICE.

OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) $50 USD.

The foregoing limitations do not apply to liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or to the extent applicable law does not permit such limitation or exclusion. In jurisdictions that do not permit certain exclusions or limitations, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Cadelyst and its owners, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) any action you take based on AI coaching suggestions; (d) your violation of any third-party rights, including any right of publicity, privacy right, or intellectual property right; or (e) any coach persona you create in violation of Section 6.

13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan and applicable federal law, without regard to conflict of law provisions. For any dispute not subject to arbitration under this section, the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Muskegon County, Michigan.

INFORMAL RESOLUTION — NOTICE AND CURE: Before initiating any arbitration or legal proceeding, the party asserting a claim must first send written notice to the other party describing the nature of the dispute, the specific relief sought, and the legal basis for the claim. Notice to Cadelyst must be sent by email to Hello@Cadelyst.com with the subject line "Dispute Notice." The parties agree to negotiate in good faith for thirty (30) days following delivery of the notice before either party may initiate arbitration.

BINDING ARBITRATION: If informal resolution fails, disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by these Terms. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator. The seat and place of arbitration will be Muskegon County, Michigan; however, the arbitrator may permit remote proceedings upon request.

OPT-OUT PROVISION: You have the right to opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to Hello@Cadelyst.com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" within thirty (30) days of the date you first create your Cadelyst account. Opting out does not affect your right to use the Service.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER: YOU AND CADELYST EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION. IF A COURT OR ARBITRATOR DETERMINES THAT THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS UNENFORCEABLE IN A PARTICULAR CASE, THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT WILL NOT APPLY TO THAT CASE AND THE CASE WILL PROCEED IN COURT.

FEES AND COSTS: Cadelyst will pay all AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees for claims that do not exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000). For claims exceeding that amount, fees will be allocated in accordance with the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. Each party will bear its own attorneys' fees and costs except as otherwise provided by applicable law or AAA rules.

SMALL CLAIMS CARVEOUT: Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court in the county of the user's residence if the claim qualifies under that court's jurisdictional rules. Small claims proceedings must be brought on an individual basis only.

INJUNCTIVE RELIEF CARVEOUT: Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking emergency injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm pending the outcome of arbitration. Seeking such relief does not waive either party's right to arbitrate the underlying merits of the dispute.
