2. Scope and Acceptance

2.1 These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your use of the Evident mobile application (the "App") and the related backend services (together, the "Service") provided by Maximillian Joel Stabe (the "Provider", "we", "us", "our").

2.2 By creating an account, accessing or using the Service, you (the "User", "you") accept these Terms and the Privacy Policy. Acceptance is captured electronically during onboarding. You may decline; in that case, you must not use the Service.

2.3 Deviating, contradictory or supplementary general terms and conditions of the User shall not become part of the contract unless we expressly agree in text form.

3. Service Description

3.1 Evident is a personal-tracking application. It helps you log daily habits and subjective ratings, computes aggregated scores (the "Pillar Scores" and "Evident Score" on a 0 – 100 scale) and shows statistical correlations between your behaviours and your subjective well-being using the Pearson correlation coefficient. The Service may also offer social features (friends, friend codes), curated challenges and similar-user matching.

3.2 Evident is not a medical device. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate or prevent any disease or other condition, nor to replace consultation with a physician or other qualified healthcare professional. The Service is not certified under Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR) and is not a "medizinprodukt" within the meaning of § 3 MPG.

3.3 You must not rely on any output of the Service for medical decisions. In case of doubt or any health concern, always consult a qualified healthcare professional.

3.4 The Service is currently in a pre-release / beta stage. We may add, change or remove features, change the data model, perform migrations, or temporarily limit availability at any time. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability of the Service during the beta phase.

3.5 The Service depends on third-party components (in particular Apple HealthKit, Apple Sign In, Supabase, Google Firebase, Resend). Disruptions of those components may affect the Service and are outside our control.

4. Account, Eligibility and Acceptance Process

4.1 To use the Service you must create an account using your email and a password, or by signing in with Apple.

4.2 You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. By accepting these Terms, you confirm that you meet this minimum age. Users under 16 must obtain consent from the holder(s) of parental responsibility, in accordance with Art. 8 GDPR / § 8 (1) BDSG.

4.3 You must provide accurate, current and complete information during account creation and keep it up to date. Account credentials must be kept confidential; you are responsible for activity on your account.

4.4 You may create only one personal account. Account sharing, transfer or sale is prohibited.

4.5 We may refuse account creation or terminate accounts in case of false information, suspected abuse, or breach of these Terms.

5. User Obligations and Acceptable Use

5.1 You agree to use the Service only for personal, non-commercial purposes and in compliance with applicable law.

5.2 You shall not:

  • (a) reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the App except as expressly permitted by law;
  • (b) use automated systems (bots, scrapers, scripts) to access the Service or the backend API beyond what the App itself does;
  • (c) interfere with, disable or circumvent any security or rate-limit feature;
  • (d) upload, transmit or submit content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, infringing, harmful, deceptive, or contains personally identifiable information of third parties without their consent;
  • (e) use the friend-system to send unsolicited requests, harass other users, or share friend codes for unsolicited contact;
  • (f) submit challenge proposals that contain advertising, malicious links, illegal instructions, or content that is harmful to health;
  • (g) misrepresent your identity, age, profile attributes or HealthKit-derived data to manipulate matching or community statistics;
  • (h) attempt to identify other users from anonymous community statistics or aggregates;
  • (i) resell, sublicense or otherwise commercialise the Service or any part of it.

5.3 We may, in our reasonable discretion, remove user-submitted content, restrict access to features or suspend accounts that violate these obligations.

6. Friends, Community and User-Submitted Content

6.1 Friend system. If you accept or send a friend request, your pillar scores become visible to the confirmed friend. You can revoke friendship at any time.

6.2 Community insights. Aggregated, anonymous statistics derived from user logs may be displayed in the App as community insights. These statistics cannot be linked to you and are excluded from data export and account deletion (see Privacy Policy).

6.3 User-submitted challenges. Users may submit challenge proposals through the App. We curate and review submissions before publication; we may reject, edit or remove submissions in our discretion.

6.4 By submitting a challenge, you grant the Provider a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable licence to host, reproduce, edit, translate, publish and distribute the submission within the Service, for the purpose of operating and promoting the Service. You retain ownership of the submitted content.

6.5 You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant the licence in 6.4 and that the submission does not infringe third-party rights.

7. Intellectual Property

7.1 Provider IP. The App, the Service, all design elements, source code, branding, trademarks and content provided by us are owned by the Provider or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property law. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, the Provider grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the App on devices you own or control, solely for personal, non-commercial use.

7.2 No other rights are granted. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

7.3 Feedback. If you submit suggestions, feedback or ideas, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use them without obligation to you.

8. Premium / Subscriptions

8.1 The Service offers an optional paid premium subscription (the "Premium Subscription") which unlocks additional features (e.g. unlimited challenge creation, additional trackables). Free features remain available without subscription.

8.2 Subscriptions are sold through Apple's In-App-Purchase system (Apple ID, App Store). The current product identifier is com.evident.monthly.premium. The current price, billing period and any free trial are displayed in the App before purchase and are also visible in Apple's subscription management.

8.3 Auto-renewal. Premium Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. The renewal price is charged through your Apple ID.

8.4 Cancellation. You can cancel a subscription at any time in Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions on your Apple device. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; no pro-rata refund is given for the remaining period.

8.5 Withdrawal right (§ 312g BGB / § 356 (5) BGB). As a consumer in the EU, you have a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal for distance contracts. However, by purchasing the Premium Subscription and explicitly consenting to immediate provision of the digital service during the withdrawal period, you confirm that you have lost your right of withdrawal in accordance with § 356 (5) BGB. The consent dialog presented before purchase reflects this requirement.

8.6 Statutory rights regarding faulty digital services (§§ 327 ff. BGB) remain unaffected.

8.7 Price changes. We may change subscription prices for future renewal periods. We will inform you of any price change at least 30 days before the change takes effect; you may cancel before the renewal to avoid the new price.

9. Term and Termination

9.1 The contract between you and the Provider begins when your account is created and continues until either party terminates it.

9.2 Termination by you. You may terminate the contract at any time by deleting your account via Settings → Account → Delete Account. The Premium Subscription is governed separately by Apple's subscription terms (see 8.4).

9.3 Termination by us. We may terminate the contract or restrict access:

  • (a) for material breach of these Terms after a reasonable warning;
  • (b) for repeated minor breaches;
  • (c) without prior notice in cases of obvious abuse, illegal activity or imminent harm to other users or the Service;
  • (d) if the Service is discontinued for the User's region or at all (we will give 30 days' notice where feasible).

9.4 Effect of termination. On termination we delete or anonymise personal data as described in the Privacy Policy. Active Premium Subscriptions continue under Apple's terms until the end of the current billing period unless terminated by Apple.

9.5 We reserve the right to end the beta phase, change beta data without prior notice during the beta, or move the Service to a final release with new terms. We will inform Users in good time before such changes take effect.

10. Warranty (Gewährleistung) and Defects

10.1 For paid features, the statutory rights regarding defects in digital services (§§ 327 ff. BGB) apply. In particular, we owe a digital service that is fit for the contractually agreed and ordinary use, has the qualities customary for digital services of the same kind, and which the consumer may reasonably expect.

10.2 For free features, our liability for defects is limited as set out in section 11.

10.3 You shall report defects to legal@evidentapp.com with a description of the problem, your device, OS version and the affected feature.

11. Liability

11.1 The Provider is fully liable for damages caused by intent or gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the Product Liability Act, and to the extent of any warranty (Garantie) given by the Provider.

11.2 For damages caused by slight negligence in the breach of material contractual obligations (Kardinalpflichten - obligations whose fulfilment makes proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose fulfilment the User regularly relies), the Provider's liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract.

11.3 In all other cases - and in particular for damages caused by slight negligence in the breach of non-material obligations - the Provider's liability is excluded.

11.4 Limitations under 11.2 and 11.3 also apply to claims based on tort (§ 823 BGB) to the extent permitted by law.

11.5 Health information disclaimer. The User acknowledges that the Service does not provide medical advice (see 3.2 – 3.3). The Provider is not liable for medical decisions, treatments or omissions that the User undertakes based on any information shown in the Service. Users must consult a qualified healthcare professional before making health-related decisions.

11.6 Beta-stage data. During the beta phase, the Provider may lose, change or migrate user data due to schema changes, debugging or testing. The Provider's liability for data loss during the beta phase is limited as set out in 11.2 / 11.3; Users are advised to export their data regularly via the export function.

11.7 The limitations in this section do not apply to claims under mandatory consumer-protection law that cannot be limited.

12. Force Majeure

The Provider is not liable for delays or failures in performance caused by events outside its reasonable control, including (without limitation) outages of Apple HealthKit, Apple Sign In, Supabase, Google Firebase or Resend, telecommunications failures, natural disasters, war, pandemics, or governmental actions.

13. Changes to the Terms

13.1 We may amend these Terms, including to reflect changes in features, applicable law or our business model.

13.2 We will inform you of any material change at least 30 days before the change takes effect, via the App, by email, or both. If you do not object within 30 days, the amended Terms enter into force. If you object, the original Terms remain in effect; we may then terminate the contract under section 9.

13.3 The notification will inform you of your right to object and the consequences of remaining silent.

14. Out-of-Court Dispute Resolution (§ 36 VSBG)

14.1 The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR) at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

14.2 The Provider is not willing and not obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board within the meaning of § 36 (1) No. 1 VSBG.

15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

15.1 These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).

15.2 Where the User is a consumer within the meaning of § 13 BGB and habitually resides in another EU Member State, mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the law of that Member State remain unaffected (Art. 6 of the Rome I Regulation).

15.3 The non-exclusive place of jurisdiction is the Provider's place of business, to the extent permitted by law.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that comes as close as legally possible to the intended commercial purpose.
