These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of Inner Thread (the “App”), published by Piedmont Developers (“we,” “us”). By creating an account or using the App, you agree to these Terms.
You must be at least 13 years old to use Inner Thread. If you are under 18, you confirm you have a parent or guardian's permission. The App is not for individuals barred by their jurisdiction from entering binding agreements.
Inner Thread is a private journaling application. You write or speak entries, and the App uses third-party AI to retrieve relevant past entries and generate replies in a “letter from your past self” format. The App is not a substitute for professional medical, mental-health, legal, or financial advice.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately at support@innerthread.net of any unauthorized use.
You own the journal entries you create. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, encrypt, transmit, and process your content solely to provide the App's features (storage, search, AI replies). We do NOT use your content to train AI models. We do NOT sell your content. The license ends when you delete your content or your account.
You agree not to:
Important. Replies you receive in the chat feature are produced by an AI language model. They reflect patterns from your own past writing combined with general AI inference. They are not therapy, medical advice, legal advice, financial advice, or guidance from a licensed professional. AI replies may be inaccurate or misleading. If you are in crisis or considering self-harm, contact emergency services or a crisis line. In the US, you can dial or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
Our handling of your data is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms.
The App, including its design, code, branding, and the “Inner Thread” name and logo, is owned by Piedmont Developers and protected by copyright and trademark law. You may not copy or use any portion of the App outside of normal use as an end user.
You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms or engage in conduct that endangers the App or other users. On termination, your license to use the App ends and we will delete your data per our Privacy Policy.
The App is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure against unauthorized access.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Piedmont Developers and its affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or loss of goodwill, arising from your use of the App. Our total liability for any claim under these Terms is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim or USD $50.
You agree to defend and indemnify Piedmont Developers from any claim arising out of your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the App.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the State in which Piedmont Developers is registered, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes will be resolved in the state and federal courts located in that State, unless required otherwise by applicable consumer-protection law.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by in-app notification or email at least 14 days before they take effect. Your continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
