Terms of Service

Last updated: July 8, 2026

Welcome to Dark Advisor. Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms”) carefully before using the Dark Advisor mobile application (the “Service”), operated by Griffin Nelms (“Dark Advisor”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you may not use the Service.

2. Description of the Service

Dark Advisor is a habit-building and self-improvement application that helps you develop habits and pursue your goals through features such as:

• Daily habit tracking and completion logging across skill categories
• Skill-point and experience-based progression
• Goals and progress monitoring
• Journaling and situational logs
• Learning content, assessments, and recommendations

We reserve the right to modify, update, or discontinue any feature of the Service at any time without prior notice.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By using it, you represent that you meet this requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

4. Your Account

The Service signs you in anonymously by default, and you may optionally link an Apple or Google account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of any linked account and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to provide accurate information where requested and to notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

5. User Content

5.1 Your content

The Service lets you create content such as habits, goals, journal entries, situational logs, and notes (“User Content”). You retain ownership of your User Content, which is private to your account and is not shared publicly or with other users.

5.2 Limited license to us

You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, store, back up, process, and display your User Content solely to provide the Service to you and to operate and improve it. We do not sell your User Content or use it for advertising.

5.3 Your responsibilities

You represent that you own or have the rights to your User Content, that it does not infringe anyone’s rights, and that it complies with these Terms and applicable law. You are solely responsible for your User Content.

5.4 Content removal

You may delete your User Content at any time within the app. We may remove content that violates these Terms.

6. Prohibited Uses

You agree not to:

• use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
• attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, or related systems;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service;
• use bots, scrapers, or other automated tools without our permission;
• interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service;
• upload viruses or other malicious code; or
• collect or harvest information about other users.

7. Subscriptions and Payments

7.1 Subscription plans

Dark Advisor may offer premium subscription plans on weekly, monthly, annual, or other billing periods that unlock additional features.

7.2 Payment methods

Subscriptions are purchased and billed through Apple In-App Purchase on the App Store. By purchasing, you authorize Apple to charge your payment method for the subscription fee and any applicable taxes. We use RevenueCat to manage subscription status and validate purchases; RevenueCat does not process your payment details.

7.3 Automatic renewal

BY PURCHASING A SUBSCRIPTION, YOU AUTHORIZE US (THROUGH THE APP STORE) TO AUTOMATICALLY CHARGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD AT THE END OF EACH BILLING PERIOD UNTIL YOU CANCEL. YOUR SUBSCRIPTION RENEWS AT THE THEN-CURRENT PRICE UNLESS YOU CANCEL BEFORE THE RENEWAL DATE.

7.4 Cancellation

You can cancel anytime through your Apple ID subscription settings (Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Dark Advisor → Cancel). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep access until then. Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription — you must cancel through the App Store. For help, email darkadvisorapp@googlegroups.com.

7.5 Refunds

Purchases are final and non-refundable except as required by law or by Apple’s policies. Refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple — you can request one at Apple’s refund page.

7.6 Price changes

We may change subscription prices. Changes do not affect your current billing period and apply on renewal; we will notify you before they take effect as required.

7.7 Free trials

We may offer free trials. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, your payment method will be charged for a subscription. Trial eligibility is determined at our discretion.

8. Intellectual Property

The Service and all of its content, features, and functionality (text, graphics, logos, icons, learning materials, software, and designs) are owned by Griffin Nelms or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Service, reverse engineer it, or use our trademarks or branding without our prior written consent.

9. Third-Party Services and Links

The Service relies on third-party providers (such as Google Firebase and RevenueCat) and may contain links to or embed third-party content (such as the App Store or video content). We do not control or endorse these third parties and are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or terms. Your use of them is at your own risk.

10. Disclaimers

10.1 “As is” and “as available”

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

10.2 No professional advice; no guarantee of results

Dark Advisor is a habit-building and self-improvement tool provided for informational and motivational purposes only. It does not provide medical, psychological, therapeutic, financial, or other professional advice, and is not a substitute for professional care. Always seek the advice of a qualified professional regarding your health or wellbeing.

Individual results vary. Any assessments, recommendations, archetypes, or projected outcomes shown in the Service are for motivational purposes only, and we make no guarantee that you will achieve any particular result, form any particular habit, or experience any specific change.

10.3 Use at your own risk

Your use of the Service is at your sole risk. You are solely responsible for decisions or actions you take based on the Service.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL Griffin Nelms OR ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100 USD).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Griffin Nelms and its officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your use of the Service, your User Content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right. In simple terms: if you do something wrong and we get sued because of it, you are responsible for the costs — not us.

13. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time (and cancel any subscription through the App Store). We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, for any reason, including violation of these Terms, fraudulent or illegal activity, or discontinuation of the Service. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends, we may delete your account data subject to our Privacy Policy, and provisions that by their nature should survive (such as disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will continue to apply.

14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before filing any claim, you agree to first contact us at darkadvisorapp@googlegroups.com to try to resolve the dispute informally. Any legal action shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Georgia, United States, and you consent to their jurisdiction. Any claim must be filed within one (1) year after it arises, or it is permanently barred.

15. Apple App Store Terms

This section applies if you obtained the App from the Apple App Store. These Terms are between you and Griffin Nelms only, not Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App. In the event the App fails to conform to 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 regarding the App. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App, including product-liability, regulatory-compliance, or consumer-protection claims, or any third-party intellectual-property claim. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. You represent that you are not located in a U.S.-embargoed country or on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties, and you agree to comply with applicable third-party terms when using the App.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by posting a notice in the app and updating the “Last updated” date above. Material changes become effective a reasonable time after notice. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service.

17. General Provisions

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them. Except for Apple (Section 15), these Terms create no third-party beneficiary rights. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
