Terms of Service

Last Updated: August 3, 2026

1. Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Pods mobile application (the “App”), operated by Pods (“we,” “us,” “our,” “Pods”). By creating an account or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you represent that you have permission from a parent or guardian to use the App.

3. Accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account. You agree to provide accurate information at signup and to keep it up to date. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

4. Description of Service

Pods is a social accountability application that allows users to set personal goals, track progress through check-ins, and form small groups (“pods”) with others for mutual accountability. Some features are available free of charge; others require a paid subscription (“Pods Pro”), as described in Section 6.

5. User Content

You retain ownership of any content you submit to the App (goal descriptions, check-in notes, pod names, etc. — “User Content”). By submitting User Content, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to store, display, and process that content solely to operate and provide the App’s functionality. You are solely responsible for your User Content and represent that it does not violate any law or third-party right.

We reserve the right to remove any User Content that violates these Terms, at our discretion.

6. Subscriptions and Payment

6.1 Pods Pro. The App offers an optional paid subscription (“Pods Pro”) that unlocks increased pod member capacity, as described in-app. Pods Pro is purchased and billed through Apple’s App Store or Google Play, and is subject to their respective payment terms, in addition to these Terms.

6.2 Billing. Subscriptions automatically renew until cancelled. You may cancel at any time through your Apple ID or Google Play account settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

6.3 No Refunds by Us. All payments are processed by Apple or Google. Refund requests are subject to their respective refund policies — we do not directly process payments or issue refunds.

6.4 Changes to Pricing. We reserve the right to change subscription pricing with reasonable advance notice; changes will not affect a billing period already in progress.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access for violations of this section.

8. Termination

You may delete your account at any time through the App. We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at our discretion, including for violation of these Terms, with or without notice.

9. Disclaimers

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.

The App is a tool to support personal goal-tracking and social accountability. It is not a substitute for professional advice (medical, financial, psychological, or otherwise), and we make no representations about outcomes or results from using the App.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL PODS, ITS OPERATORS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE APP.

IN NO EVENT SHALL PODS’ TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE APP EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO PODS IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) FIFTY CANADIAN DOLLARS (CAD $50).

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

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Pods, its operators, and affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your access to or use of the App; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your User Content; or (d) your violation of any third-party right, including without limitation any intellectual property or privacy right.

12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App shall be resolved exclusively in the courts located in York Region, Ontario, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the App or via email. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

14. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
