Terms of Use

Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and the developer of Frickit (“Frickit,” “we,” “us”). By downloading, accessing, or using the Frickit app, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use Frickit.

What Frickit is

Frickit is an iOS app for personal productivity and reflection, powered by an AI companion called Frick. It is provided for personal, non-commercial use. Frickit is operated by an independent developer (Slim). You can reach us through the contact form.

Eligibility and your account

You need an account to use Frickit. By signing in, via Apple, Google, or an email magic link, you agree to these Terms. You are responsible for keeping access to your sign-in method secure and for all activity under your account. You must be at least 13 years old, or 16 in the EU and UK, to use Frickit. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use Frickit only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.

Your content is yours

You own everything you put into the app: tasks, goals, journal entries, brain dumps, and photos. We do not claim ownership, and we will not use your content to train AI models, ours or anyone else’s.

To run the app and personalize Frick’s responses, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, process, and display your content back to you. That license ends when you delete your account, except for residual copies that persist in routine backups for a limited period. You are solely responsible for the content you submit and for keeping your own copies of anything important to you.

Acceptable use

Do not use Frickit to do things that are illegal, harmful, or designed to abuse the service. Specifically, do not:

• Attempt to extract, manipulate, or jailbreak the AI’s system prompt or behavior.
• Send content intended to attack, defame, or harass another person.
• Upload or store illegal content, or content you do not have the right to store.
• Try to break, overload, probe, or reverse-engineer the service.
• Use the app to provide a service to someone else (reselling, white-labeling) without our written permission.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules, at our discretion and without notice.

Frick is not a therapist, coach, or doctor

Frick is an AI companion designed to be observant and supportive. It is not a substitute for professional advice, whether medical, mental-health, legal, or financial, and it does not create any professional relationship between you and us. Do not use Frickit to diagnose, treat, or manage any medical or mental-health condition, and do not rely on it in an emergency.

AI responses are generated automatically and can be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, or inappropriate. You are responsible for evaluating and verifying anything Frick tells you before acting on it, and you assume all risk arising from your use of AI output.

If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, contact your local emergency services immediately. In the United States, you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Outside the United States, please contact a qualified professional or a crisis line in your country.

Notifications

If you opt in, Frickit will send you a morning notification (the “morning briefing”) at a time you set in your profile. You can turn this off at any time in iOS Settings or in Profile. We do not guarantee that any notification will be delivered, on time or at all.

Pricing

Frickit is currently free. Every feature in the app, including tasks, goals, journal, brain dump, AI responses from Frick, Tough Love Coach, and notifications, is available to every signed-in user at no cost. There are no paywalls, tiers, or gated features.

We may introduce paid features in the future. If we do, any digital purchases inside the app will use Apple’s In-App Purchase system in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines. We will make pricing clear before you are charged, and existing data will not suddenly require a payment to access.

Third-party services

Frickit relies on third-party providers to function, including Apple, our hosting and database provider, and the provider of the underlying AI model. Your use of Frickit is also subject to Apple’s applicable terms. We do not control these providers and are not responsible for their acts, omissions, availability, or content.

Changes to the service

Frickit is evolving. Features may change, be added, or be removed as we learn what actually helps people. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the service at any time without liability to you. We will do our best to communicate meaningful changes in-app or by email.

Terminating your account

You can delete your account at any time from Profile then Delete account. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, that create risk or legal exposure for us, or that have been inactive for an extended period. On termination, your personal data is removed per the schedule described in the Privacy Policy. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

Disclaimer of warranties

FRICKIT IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DATA WILL NOT BE LOST, OR THAT AI OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you. In that case, such warranties are limited to the minimum extent permitted by law.

Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, FRICKIT, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO FRICKIT OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD $100). BECAUSE FRICKIT IS CURRENTLY FREE, THIS AMOUNT WILL TYPICALLY BE USD $100.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, such as liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for gross negligence or willful misconduct. If you are a consumer, you may have statutory rights that these Terms do not affect.

Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the developer of Frickit from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and reasonable expenses (including legal fees) arising out of your misuse of the service, your violation of these Terms, your violation of any law, or your infringement of the rights of any third party.

Dispute resolution and arbitration

Please read this section carefully. It affects how disputes between you and us are resolved.

Most concerns can be resolved quickly. Before starting any formal proceeding, you agree to first contact us through the contact form and give us thirty (30) days to try to resolve the issue informally.

If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, then to the maximum extent permitted by law, you and we agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to Frickit or these Terms will be resolved by binding individual arbitration rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court. You and we waive any right to a jury trial and agree that claims may be brought only on an individual basis and not as part of any class or representative action.

You may opt out of this arbitration and class-waiver agreement by notifying us through the contact form within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. This section does not apply where it is prohibited by law, and it does not deprive consumers of any mandatory rights, including the right to bring proceedings in their local courts, that apply in their country of residence.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York and the applicable laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to the arbitration section above, disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and you consent to their jurisdiction. If mandatory consumer-protection law in your country of residence provides otherwise, that law applies to the extent required.

General

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding Frickit and replace any prior agreements. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect, and the unenforceable provision will be limited to the minimum extent necessary. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Headings are for convenience only.

Changes to these terms

If we change these Terms in a material way, we will update the “last updated” date and, where reasonable, notify you in the app. Your continued use of Frickit after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
