Terms of Use

1. Introduction and Acceptance

Welcome to LifeJRNL, a private personal media journaling application developed by Lawren Burroughs. These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the LifeJRNL application and any related services made available through it. These Terms form a binding agreement between you and the developer of LifeJRNL, Lawren Burroughs, and not with Apple Inc. or any other app store provider.

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using LifeJRNL, or by clicking an in-app button or control labeled “I Agree,” “Accept,” or similar, you (1) acknowledge that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Terms and the LifeJRNL Privacy Policy, (2) represent that you are of legal age and otherwise have the legal capacity to form a binding contract with the developer, and (3) if you are acting on behalf of another person or entity, represent that you have authority to bind that person or entity to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms or the Privacy Policy, you must not download, install, access, or use LifeJRNL, and you should delete the application from your device.

LifeJRNL is designed to comply with applicable laws in the jurisdictions where it is made available and with Apple’s legal, privacy, and platform requirements for apps distributed through the App Store. Acceptance of both these Terms and the LifeJRNL Privacy Policy is a condition of using the app. The current versions of these Terms and the Privacy Policy are available via clear and conspicuous links within the app and on the App Store listing.

LifeJRNL is licensed to you, not sold. You acknowledge that Apple Inc. (“Apple”) is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the LifeJRNL app or its content, maintenance, or support. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to LifeJRNL and has no responsibility for any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses arising out of or relating to the app or your use of it. However, you acknowledge and agree that Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as they relate to any copy of LifeJRNL obtained through the Apple App Store and, upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce such Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

These Terms apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and Apple’s App Store policies. Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit any non-waivable statutory rights you may have under applicable law or any rights that must be provided to you under Apple’s App Store rules. Important limitations on warranties, remedies, and the parties’ liability, as well as a binding arbitration requirement and waiver of class actions, are described in the sections below, including the “Indemnification, Disclaimer of Warranties, and Limitation of Liability” and “Dispute Resolution and Arbitration” sections.

We may update these Terms from time to time as described in the “Changes to Terms” section, and your continued access to or use of LifeJRNL after any such update constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

2. Description of the Service

LifeJRNL provides a secure and private platform for personal media journaling, enabling you to create, organize, and manage journal entries—including text, images, and other media—directly on your iOS device.

The app includes features such as artificial intelligence assistance for journaling, organization, and content generation. By default, LifeJRNL is designed so that supported AI features process your information on your device using Apple’s Foundation Models Framework.

If you choose to enable optional cloud-based AI features, LifeJRNL—based on your affirmative choice to opt in—may relay certain information through Vercel to Gemini, a U.S.-based AI provider, in order to provide enhanced analysis, pattern recognition, and recommendations. LifeJRNL relays only the information reasonably necessary to provide the specific AI functionality you request, and only as described in the LifeJRNL Privacy Policy, which explains in detail what categories of data may be transmitted, for what purposes, and under what safeguards.

LifeJRNL does not intentionally include your name or direct contact information in requests to third-party AI providers unless you choose to include such information in the content you submit (for example, in the text of a journal entry you ask the AI to analyze). Any transmission of your information to third-party AI providers occurs only with your permission and only for the limited purpose of delivering these AI-powered features, as further described in the LifeJRNL Privacy Policy, which is available via a conspicuous link within the app and on the App Store listing.

You may opt out of cloud-based AI features at any time by enabling Private-Only Mode at the top of the Settings page. If you opt out, AI assistance will be limited to on-device processing, and certain features or outputs may be less capable of reasoning, pattern recognition, or other forms of analysis, or may not be available at all; in some cases, AI features may be unable to perform certain types of reasoning, long-range pattern detection, or complex analysis altogether.

Opting out does not affect your ability to use the core journaling features of LifeJRNL; it only limits enhanced AI functionalities. By choosing to disable cloud-based AI, you understand, acknowledge, and agree that certain AI-powered features and outputs will be unavailable or significantly limited, and that any remaining AI outputs may be less sophisticated or incapable of performing certain types of reasoning or analysis, and you accept these limitations.

2.1 Third-Party Services

Certain LifeJRNL features may rely on or interoperate with third-party services or providers, including services used to relay or process information for optional cloud-based AI features (such as Vercel and Gemini). These third parties are independent of LifeJRNL and have their own terms, policies, and practices, which you are responsible for reviewing and complying with. Your use of any third-party service in connection with LifeJRNL is at your sole risk.

Optional cloud-based AI features that rely on third-party services are used only if and when you choose to enable them, and any data that is relayed to or processed by such third parties is limited to what is reasonably necessary to provide the relevant LifeJRNL features and is handled only for the purposes described in these Terms and in the LifeJRNL Privacy Policy.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the developer is not responsible or liable for any interruptions, errors, failures, security incidents, data loss, or other harm arising from or related to any act or omission of such third parties or from your use of their services, even when those services are accessed through or used with LifeJRNL.

For information about when and how data may be shared with or processed by third-party services, and the choices you have (including the ability to opt out of cloud-based AI features), please refer to the LifeJRNL Privacy Policy.

3. User Rights and Limitations

You are granted a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable license to access and use LifeJRNL solely for your own personal, non-commercial purposes, and solely on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, in accordance with these Terms and any applicable app store rules.

You are solely responsible for safeguarding your device, for maintaining the confidentiality of any content you create, store, or share using the app, and for all activity that occurs on or through your device in connection with LifeJRNL, whether or not such activity is expressly authorized by you.

You agree not to, and will not permit any third party to:

• (a) license, sell, rent, lease, lend, transfer, assign, distribute, host, or otherwise commercially exploit LifeJRNL or any portion of it;
• (b) modify, translate, adapt, merge, create derivative works of, disassemble, decompile, reverse compile, reverse engineer, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of LifeJRNL or any related software, except to the limited extent that such restrictions are expressly prohibited by applicable law;
• (c) use any automated means (including but not limited to bots, spiders, crawlers, scrapers, or data mining tools) to access or interact with LifeJRNL or to extract data from it;
• (d) access or use LifeJRNL in order to build or improve a competing product or service;
• (e) remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices or markings contained in or on LifeJRNL;
• (f) distribute, upload, or transmit any viruses, malware, or other malicious or harmful code or content;
• (g) interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to disrupt the operation or security of LifeJRNL or any related systems or services, or attempt to circumvent any security or access-control measures;
• (h) use LifeJRNL in any manner that infringes, violates, or misappropriates any rights of any third party or that is unlawful, harmful, abusive, harassing, defamatory, fraudulent, deceptive, or otherwise objectionable.

Your ability to access, correct, delete, or exercise choices regarding your personal data—and the procedures for doing so, including any account deletion, data removal, or privacy controls that may be available—are described in the LifeJRNL Privacy Policy, which is available via a conspicuous link within the app and on the App Store listing.

You may opt out of cloud-based AI features at any time by enabling Private-Only Mode in the Settings page. If you opt out, cloud-based AI features will be limited or disabled, and AI assistance will be restricted to on-device processing only; by enabling Private-Only Mode, you understand, acknowledge, and agree that, as a result, certain enhanced AI functionalities may be unavailable and any AI outputs that are available may be less sophisticated, less accurate, or incapable of performing certain kinds of reasoning, pattern recognition, or analysis, and you accept these limitations.

Paid functionality within LifeJRNL is not conditioned on your agreement to grant access to personal data beyond what is reasonably necessary to provide the relevant paid features, and you are not required to enable optional system permissions (such as location services or push notifications) in order to use the basic journaling functionality of the app. However, if you decline or disable certain optional data uses, permissions, or settings, some non-essential or enhanced features may be limited or may not function as designed.

You are solely responsible for deciding whether to enable iCloud or other backup services for your device and for maintaining appropriate backups of your entries and other content. If you choose not to enable backups, you understand, acknowledge, and agree that you assume the risk of permanent loss of data and that LifeJRNL and its developer do not have access to your private content and cannot restore or recover any lost or deleted entries from your device or any other storage location.

You are solely responsible for your use of LifeJRNL and for any consequences arising from that use, including but not limited to any unauthorized access, misuse, or loss of data resulting from your actions, your failure to secure your device, your decision to share information with others, or your use of third-party services or integrations.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, LifeJRNL and its developer are not responsible or liable for any damages, losses, liabilities, or claims arising out of or related to your failure to maintain the security of your device or your content, your use or misuse of the app, your sharing or disclosure of information, or any acts, omissions, breaches, or failures of third-party service providers or integrations.

Because your journal content is stored on your own device and, if you choose, in your own iCloud account or other backup services that you control, LifeJRNL and its developer do not have access to your private entries and cannot restore or recover any lost, corrupted, or deleted data from your device or from any backup service you use.

LifeJRNL does not promise to store, maintain, or continue to make available any particular content, data, or features, and may from time to time impose reasonable limits on storage, processing, functionality, or availability, including by setting file-size limits, storage caps, or feature constraints, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

LifeJRNL may modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect, feature, or functionality of the app at any time, with or without notice, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, LifeJRNL and its developer will not be liable to you or any third party for any such modification, suspension, or discontinuation.

4. Indemnification, Disclaimer of Warranties, and Limitation of Liability

4.1 Indemnification

By using LifeJRNL, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless LifeJRNL, its developer Lawren Burroughs, and any affiliates, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, proceedings, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to:

• (a) your use or misuse of the app;
• (b) your violation of these Terms;
• (c) your infringement, violation, or misappropriation of any rights of another person or entity;
• (d) your unauthorized sharing, posting, transmission, or disclosure of information or content;
• (e) any failure to maintain the security of your device, credentials (if any), or content;
• (f) your use of, reliance on, or interaction with any third-party services or integrations (including but not limited to services used for cloud-based AI features such as Vercel and Gemini);
• (g) your use of, or reliance on, any AI-generated content, analysis, pattern recognition, or recommendations (whether generated on-device or via cloud-based providers), and any decisions or actions you take based on such output;
• (h) any loss of data resulting from your actions or omissions, including but not limited to your decision not to enable iCloud or other backup services on your device.

This indemnification obligation applies to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and will survive any termination of these Terms or your use of LifeJRNL. LifeJRNL reserves the right, at its own expense and using counsel of its own choosing, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you agree to cooperate fully in asserting any available defenses. Nothing in this section limits any non-waivable rights you may have under applicable law or under Apple’s App Store policies.

4.2 Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, LifeJRNL and its developer provide the app on an “as is” and “as available” basis and expressly disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, satisfactory quality, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.

LifeJRNL does not warrant that the app will meet your requirements; that it will be available on an uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free basis; that defects will be corrected; that any data, journal entries, or other content will be stored, synchronized, or preserved without loss, corruption, or deletion; that the app or any related software or services will be free of viruses or other harmful components; or that any AI-generated content, analysis, pattern recognition, or recommendations, or any third-party services or integrations (including but not limited to Vercel and Gemini), will be accurate, complete, reliable, current, or suitable for any particular purpose or outcome.

LifeJRNL is a personal journaling application and does not provide medical, mental health, crisis, legal, financial, or other professional services, and nothing in the app (including any AI-generated output) is intended or should be relied on as professional advice, diagnosis, or treatment, or as a substitute for speaking with a qualified professional or contacting emergency or crisis services. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from LifeJRNL or its developer, or through or from the app, shall create any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.

These disclaimers apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and Apple’s App Store policies and do not override any non-waivable statutory rights or privacy protections that apply to you.

4.3 Limitation of Liability

The liability of LifeJRNL and its developer is limited as described in this Limitation of Liability section, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, LifeJRNL and its developer shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of data, loss of goodwill, loss of privacy, or any other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of or inability to use the app, any third-party integrations or services (including but not limited to Vercel or Gemini), your decision to share or transmit data, or any loss, corruption, or disclosure of data due to your actions or omissions (such as not enabling iCloud or other backups), even if LifeJRNL or its developer has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In no event shall the aggregate liability of LifeJRNL and its developer arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the app exceed the greater of (a) the total amount, if any, that you paid directly to LifeJRNL or its developer for use of the app or related paid features during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) fifty U.S. dollars (US $50).

You acknowledge and agree that the exclusions and limitations of liability in this paragraph are a fundamental basis of the bargain between you and LifeJRNL and its developer, and that, absent such limitations, the terms and pricing applicable to the app would be substantially different. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages or of liability, so the above limitations may not apply to you to the extent they are prohibited by applicable law.

You expressly acknowledge and agree that LifeJRNL and its developer are not responsible for any loss of data if you choose not to enable iCloud or other backup solutions on your device, and that LifeJRNL and its developer cannot retrieve or restore lost entries because only you have access to your data on your own device(s) and in any backups you choose to maintain.

LifeJRNL and its developer are not responsible for the actions, omissions, security practices, availability, or failures of any third-party service providers or integrations, including but not limited to Vercel and Gemini. Your use of any third-party services in connection with LifeJRNL is at your own risk, and you are solely responsible for reviewing and complying with any terms, conditions, and policies applicable to those services.

4.4 Third-Party Services

LifeJRNL and its developer are not responsible for the actions, omissions, availability, security practices, breaches, or failures of any third-party service providers or integrations, including but not limited to services used to relay or process information for optional cloud-based AI features such as Vercel and Gemini.

Any sharing of your personal data with third-party services in connection with LifeJRNL (including with Vercel and Gemini for optional cloud-based AI features) occurs only as described in the LifeJRNL Privacy Policy and in accordance with applicable law and platform rules, only after you choose to enable or use the relevant feature, and only for purposes such as providing, operating, or improving that feature.

LifeJRNL requires third-party providers that receive user data from LifeJRNL to provide the same or comparable protection of user data as described in the LifeJRNL Privacy Policy and as required by applicable law and applicable app store and platform rules.

5. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

All disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use, your use of LifeJRNL, or any related matter—including but not limited to statutory, contract, tort, and equitable claims—shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration on an individual basis.

This arbitration provision is mutual and applies equally to both you and LifeJRNL and its developer. By agreeing to these Terms, you and LifeJRNL each agree that (a) all such disputes will be resolved only by arbitration and not in court (except as expressly provided below), (b) you and LifeJRNL each waive any right to a trial by jury to the fullest extent permitted by law, and (c) you will bring claims only in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative action or proceeding, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., and, to the extent not inconsistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

Arbitration will be conducted in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and the exclusive venue for any arbitration-related judicial proceedings (such as proceedings to compel arbitration, or to confirm, modify, or vacate an arbitral award) shall be the state or federal courts located in or serving Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Unless you and LifeJRNL agree otherwise in a signed writing, the arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its applicable rules for consumer disputes then in effect, as modified by these Terms. The parties may instead agree in a signed writing to use a different reputable arbitration administrator, in which case that administrator’s rules will apply to the extent they are consistent with these Terms and with the Federal Arbitration Act.

Notwithstanding the foregoing arbitration requirement, either party may bring an individual action in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction in Virginia Beach, Virginia (or, if you reside outside the United States, in your local small claims court) if the claim is within that court’s jurisdiction. In addition, either party may seek temporary or preliminary injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights or confidential information, pending a final decision by the arbitrator.

5.1 Arbitration Process

• Initiation: Before commencing arbitration with the applicable arbitration administrator, you must provide written notice of your claim to LifeJRNL’s developer at the contact address provided in these Terms. The notice must describe the nature of the dispute, the relief sought, and include your name, contact information, and the email address associated with your use of LifeJRNL, if any.
• Selection of Arbitrator: The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. The parties will attempt to mutually select the arbitrator from the roster of the applicable arbitration administrator. If the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator, the arbitrator will be appointed in accordance with the rules of the applicable arbitration administrator and the Federal Arbitration Act.
• Conduct of Arbitration: The arbitration will be conducted in English, in Virginia Beach, Virginia, in accordance with the rules of the applicable arbitration administrator for consumer disputes then in effect, as modified by these Terms. The arbitrator shall have the authority to resolve all disputes subject to arbitration, including disputes about the interpretation, scope, applicability, or enforceability of this arbitration provision, to the extent permitted by the Federal Arbitration Act and other applicable law.
• Finality: The arbitrator’s award will be final and binding on both parties, and judgment on the award may be entered in the state or federal courts located in or serving Virginia Beach, Virginia, or in any other court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award any relief that would be available in a court under law or in equity, subject to the limitations set forth in these Terms.
• Costs: Each party will bear its own costs and expenses of arbitration, including attorneys’ fees, unless the arbitrator determines otherwise or as required by applicable law or the rules of the applicable arbitration administrator. Consistent with applicable law and consumer arbitration rules, if you demonstrate to the satisfaction of the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration would be prohibitive compared to the costs of bringing a claim in court, LifeJRNL will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive.

This arbitration provision is intended to provide a fair, efficient, and neutral mechanism for resolving disputes between you and LifeJRNL on an individual basis. It is mutual and applies equally to both parties, and it is not intended to be unconscionable or to deprive either party of any right that cannot be waived under applicable law.

This arbitration provision is severable. If any portion of this arbitration provision is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law, except to the extent that applicable law requires otherwise for the arbitration provision to be enforceable, and subject to the additional terms regarding class and representative proceedings set forth below.

5.2 Waiver of Jury Trial and Class Actions

By agreeing to these Terms, both you and LifeJRNL (including its developer, Lawren Burroughs) irrevocably waive any right to a trial by jury in any dispute between you and LifeJRNL to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and LifeJRNL also waive any right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, collective action, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding. All claims and disputes subject to arbitration under these Terms must be brought on an individual basis only and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative action, and the arbitrator shall have no authority to consolidate more than one person’s claims or to preside over any form of class, collective, or representative proceeding, except to the extent such a waiver is prohibited by applicable law.

If the waiver of class, collective, or representative proceedings in this section is found to be unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or request for relief, then that specific claim or request for relief must proceed only in a court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis to the extent permitted by law.

Your substantive rights regarding privacy, data collection, and user information are described in the LifeJRNL Privacy Policy, which is available via a conspicuous link within the app and on the App Store listing.

6. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to them or your use of LifeJRNL, are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict of law principles, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration agreement in the “Dispute Resolution and Arbitration” section.

Subject to the Dispute Resolution and Arbitration section, venue for all arbitration proceedings and for any court proceedings permitted under these Terms (including proceedings to compel arbitration, to confirm, modify, or vacate an arbitral award, to seek temporary or preliminary injunctive or other equitable relief, or to resolve any dispute or claim that a court determines is not subject to arbitration) shall be exclusively in the state or federal courts located in, or having jurisdiction over, Virginia Beach, Virginia, regardless of the jurisdiction in which the app is accessed or used.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit any non-waivable rights or remedies you may have under applicable consumer protection or other mandatory laws, or under Apple’s App Store policies.

7. Changes to Terms

LifeJRNL reserves the right to update or modify these Terms of Use at any time. We may make changes that are material or non-material. Material changes are those that significantly affect your rights or obligations under these Terms; non-material changes include clarifications, corrections, formatting or organizational updates, and other changes that do not materially affect your rights or obligations.

If we make material changes to these Terms, we will provide you with clear and conspicuous notice, such as by displaying an in-app notice, by using an operating-system-level notification mechanism, and/or by contacting you at the email address or other contact information associated with your use of LifeJRNL (if any), to the extent required by applicable law and Apple’s App Store policies.

For non-material changes, we may simply post the updated Terms in the app without additional notice. Any such changes will be effective on the date specified in the notice or, if no date is specified, when the updated Terms are made available in the app.

Unless expressly stated otherwise in the notice, changes to these Terms will apply only on a going-forward basis from the effective date and will not apply to any dispute between you and LifeJRNL that arose before that effective date.

You are responsible for reviewing the Terms and the Privacy Policy periodically for updates. Your continued access to or use of LifeJRNL after the effective date of any updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of those updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using LifeJRNL and delete the app from your device.

Changes to the LifeJRNL Privacy Policy will be notified separately, as required by applicable law and Apple’s App Store policies, and we will provide notice of material changes to the Privacy Policy to the extent required by those laws and policies.

These Terms, including this Changes to Terms section, apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law and Apple’s App Store policies and do not limit any non-waivable rights or protections you may have under those laws or policies. In the event of any direct conflict between these Terms and such non-waivable rights or protections, those rights or protections will control.

8. Miscellaneous Provisions

These provisions apply in addition to all other terms above. Nothing in this section is intended to limit or waive any rights you may have under non-waivable applicable law, the Apple App Store terms, or the LifeJRNL Privacy Policy.

• Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
• Entire Agreement: These Terms of Use, together with the LifeJRNL Privacy Policy and any additional terms or policies that are expressly incorporated by reference into either of those documents, constitute the entire agreement between you and LifeJRNL and its developer regarding your use of the app, and supersede any prior or contemporaneous communications, representations, or agreements, whether oral or written, regarding that subject matter.
• Waiver: The failure of LifeJRNL or its developer to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by the party granting the waiver.
• Survival: The provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination or expiration of your use of LifeJRNL will survive, including without limitation those relating to ownership and intellectual property rights, license restrictions, indemnification, disclaimers of warranties, limitations of liability, dispute resolution and arbitration, governing law and venue, and these Miscellaneous Provisions.
• No Agency or Partnership: Nothing in these Terms is intended to or shall be construed to create any partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise, or agency relationship between you and LifeJRNL or its developer. Neither party has any authority to bind the other or incur obligations on the other’s behalf, except as expressly stated in these Terms.
• Notices: Unless a different method is required by applicable law, notices required or permitted under these Terms may be provided electronically, including by email and in-app messages. Formal legal notices to LifeJRNL, including any notices relating to dispute resolution or arbitration, must be sent using the contact details provided in the Contact Information section of these Terms.
• Assignment: You may not assign, transfer, or delegate these Terms or any of your rights or obligations under them, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of LifeJRNL’s developer. Any attempted assignment, transfer, or delegation in violation of this restriction is void. LifeJRNL and its developer may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, without your consent, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, sale of assets, or by operation of law, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
• Force Majeure: LifeJRNL and its developer are not liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from causes beyond their reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, fire, flood, epidemic or pandemic, war, terrorism, civil unrest, embargoes, labor or industrial disputes, failures of suppliers or subcontractors, power outages, failures or interruptions of internet or telecommunications services, or governmental actions or orders, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
• No Third-Party Beneficiaries: Except as expressly provided in these Terms, there are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that Apple Inc. and its subsidiaries are intended third-party beneficiaries of the provisions of these Terms that relate to any copy of the app obtained through the Apple App Store, and that, upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce such provisions against you as a third-party beneficiary.
• Headings: Section and paragraph headings are for convenience only, have no legal or contractual effect, and do not affect the interpretation of these Terms.
