Terms of Service

1. Agreement and eligibility

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a proposed agreement between you and Fraction Compliance Inc., a Washington C Corporation (“Fraction Compliance,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), for your use of MaPause and related websites, apps, and services (the “Services”). By using the Services after these Terms become effective, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

You must be at least [[MINIMUM_AGE_TO_CONFIRM]] or have any consent required by law. The Services are not directed to children. Confirm the final age and consent requirements before publication.

2. What MaPause is — and is not

MaPause is a relationship-support and self-reflection tool intended to help people make space, breathe, and return to a conversation with more care. It is not medical, mental-health, crisis, legal, or professional relationship advice, and it does not diagnose, assess, score, or guarantee the health or outcome of a relationship.

If you or another person is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services or a qualified crisis resource. Do not rely on MaPause for emergency support.

3. Accounts and authentication

Some features may require an account or a third-party sign-in. If accounts are enabled, provide accurate information, protect credentials, and promptly tell us about unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity under your account except to the extent caused by our breach of applicable law.

Authentication providers may have their own terms and privacy practices. The final provider list, OAuth scopes, verification status, and account-recovery process are [[AUTHENTICATION_DETAILS_TO_CONFIRM]].

4. Couple invitations and shared use

If a pairing or invitation feature is enabled, use it only with the consent of the other person. Do not use another person’s email, invite, account, photos, or private information without authorization. The final invite, unpairing, visibility, and shared-data rules are [[PAIRING_RULES_TO_CONFIRM]].

5. Your content

You retain rights in content you submit or make available through the Services, such as photos, prompts, or profile information (“User Content”). You grant Fraction Compliance only the limited rights reasonably needed to provide, secure, maintain, and improve the enabled Services, as described in the final privacy notice. The exact license, duration, and sharing scope require legal review: [[USER_CONTENT_LICENSE_TO_CONFIRM]].

You represent that you have the rights and permissions needed to submit User Content and that doing so does not violate law, another person’s rights, or an agreement. Do not submit content you do not want processed under the final product behavior.

6. Local photos and device data

In the current source, selected photos are stored in the app’s local collection and are not uploaded automatically. Your device, operating system, backup provider, or a user-initiated third-party integration may copy or process app data under its own controls. We do not promise that deleting the app or a local item removes every backup copy.

7. Third-party services

The Services may interoperate with Apple, Google, YouTube, Spotify, Supabase, app stores, or other providers. Provider availability, permissions, content, and data practices are controlled by those providers. You are responsible for complying with their applicable terms. Amazon integration is not included in the current reviewed scope; do not add provider promises without updating the legal review.

8. Acceptable use

You may not:

• break the law, violate another person’s rights, or use the Services to harm, threaten, stalk, or harass someone;
• interfere with the Services, bypass security, probe systems, or introduce malicious code;
• scrape, copy, reverse engineer, or commercially exploit the Services except as permitted by law;
• misrepresent your identity, obtain access to another person’s account, or use an invite without consent; or
• use MaPause to make an automated diagnosis, relationship score, safety decision, or high-stakes decision.

9. Intellectual property

The Services, including MaPause branding, software, illustrations, text, audio, design, and other materials supplied by Fraction Compliance, are owned by or licensed to Fraction Compliance and are protected by applicable law. These Terms grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Services for personal, lawful purposes. No other rights are granted.

10. Feedback

If you provide suggestions or feedback, you allow us to use it without restriction or compensation, subject to the final privacy notice and applicable law. Do not send confidential information through an unconfigured support channel.

11. Availability and changes

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features, including optional provider integrations, at any time as the product develops. We do not promise uninterrupted availability, compatibility with every device, or that a planned feature will launch. Maintenance, beta, regional, store, and provider limitations may apply.

12. Fees and purchases

The current reviewed scope does not establish a paid plan or purchase terms. If MaPause later offers subscriptions, in-app purchases, or premium features, the owner must add pricing, renewal, cancellation, refund, tax, and store-specific terms before enabling them: [[FEES_AND_PURCHASES_TO_CONFIRM]].

13. Privacy

Our draft Privacy Policy describes how information may be handled. It must be completed and published with these Terms, and the two documents must match the shipped build, backend, SDKs, app-store disclosures, and provider configuration.

14. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate access where reasonably necessary for security, abuse prevention, legal compliance, or a material violation of these Terms. You may stop using the Services at any time. Account deletion instructions and the current implementation boundary are described on the account deletion page.

15. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, or that the Services will improve a relationship or meet a particular need. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so this section must be reviewed for the users and markets served.

16. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Fraction Compliance and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and licensors will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or lost profits, data, goodwill, or opportunities, arising from or related to the Services or these Terms. The aggregate liability cap, exclusions, and any required consumer-law carveouts are [[LIABILITY_TERMS_TO_CONFIRM]].

17. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Fraction Compliance and its representatives from claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from your User Content, misuse of the Services, violation of these Terms, or violation of another person’s rights. Counsel must review scope and enforceability before publication: [[INDEMNITY_TERMS_TO_CONFIRM]].

18. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of [[GOVERNING_LAW_TO_CONFIRM]], without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any forum, arbitration, class-action waiver, notice, and consumer-rights provisions are [[DISPUTE_TERMS_TO_CONFIRM]]. This section must be completed by counsel for the intended markets.

19. General terms

If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect to the extent allowed by law. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets. These Terms and documents incorporated by reference are the entire agreement about the Services, subject to any mandatory consumer rights.
