App Terms of Service
Effective date: August 31, 2026
These terms are an agreement between you and Volk Ventures LLC, doing business as Daisy's Guide ("we," "us," "our"). They govern your use of the Daisy's Guide app.
Our website, our store, and our physical books are covered by separate terms. This agreement is about the app.
By creating an account or using the app, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use it.
1. Who can use the app
You must be 18 or older to create an account. By doing so, you are telling us that you are.
The app is written for adults about raising children. It is not for use by children.
2. Your account
You are responsible for your account and for anything done through it. Keep your sign-in credentials to yourself and tell us promptly if you think someone else has access.
The display name you choose is shown to your linked partner and appears in the shared summaries the app generates. Display names are limited to 30 characters. Do not use someone else's name, impersonate anyone, or choose something designed to mislead.
We may suspend or close an account being used to abuse the service, to abuse another person, or in violation of these terms.
3. Linking with a partner
The app is built for two people. When you link with a partner:
- Once you have both answered a topic, your answers on that topic become visible to each other. This is what the product does. Before that, your partner sees only that you have answered.
- A revealed topic cannot be un-revealed. There is no way to take back an answer your partner has already seen.
- Notes you write on a topic stay private to you.
- Either of you can unlink at any time.
Think about what you write. You are writing to a person, and once they have seen it, it has been seen. If you would not say it out loud, do not type it.
If your partner deletes their account, their answers, their notes, and every shared summary that narrated their answers are permanently deleted. Your own answers, notes, and access are untouched. Topics you had both revealed become answerable again.
If you delete your account, the same is true in reverse, and your partner keeps their own material and their access. Our App Privacy Policy sets out exactly what is deleted and what is retained.
4. What you are buying
App access is a one-time purchase. It is not a subscription, and we do not bill you again for what you have already bought.
One purchase covers two accounts: the person who bought it, and one partner who accepts their invitation. The second seat is assigned the moment that partner accepts, and it is assigned permanently. It is not reassigned afterward. If you later link with someone new, that person needs their own purchase.
Access is permanent and we do not take it away. Not when you unlink, not when your partner deletes their account, not when you delete yours and come back, and not when a purchase is refunded.
The specific promise shown to you at the moment of purchase is part of this agreement. Where an offer states what it covers and for how long, that statement governs what you bought, and these terms do not narrow it.
App access can be bought in three places: through Apple in the app, through our web checkout, and included in some physical bundles. What you get is identical in all three. Purchases made outside the app are redeemed on our website, not in the app.
5. Refunds
Purchases made through Apple are refunded by Apple, not by us. Apple decides those requests under its own policies, and any guarantee we offer on our own checkout cannot be honored on an Apple purchase, because we are not the one holding the money.
For purchases made through our own checkout, our Refund Policy applies and is part of these terms.
A refund does not remove app access. We do not build revocation, and we do not want a customer locked out of something we told them was permanent. If this is ever abused at scale, any change would apply to new purchases only.
6. This is not medical advice
Daisy's Guide is educational. The app exists to help two people talk to each other about decisions they are going to have to make anyway.
Nothing in the app is medical advice, and using it does not create a doctor-patient relationship. Our medical author reviews our content for accuracy. She is not your doctor and is not treating you.
Do not use the app to diagnose or treat anything, and do not delay seeking care because of something you read in it. For anything concerning your health, your pregnancy, or your child's health, talk to a qualified professional. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.
Parenting decisions are yours. We give you the questions, not the answers.
7. Your content
You own what you write. Your answers, your notes, and anything else you enter stay yours.
You give us a limited license to store, process, display, and transmit your content solely to run the service for you and your partner. That includes generating the shared summary described in our App Privacy Policy, which involves sending the relevant answers, notes, and first names to a third-party AI provider. The license exists to operate the product and ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies in backups until they cycle out.
We do not use your answers or notes for marketing, we do not sell them, and we do not train our own models on them.
8. What you may not do
Do not:
- Use the app to harass, threaten, abuse, or deceive another person, including your linked partner
- Access anyone else's account, or attempt to
- Scrape, reverse engineer, decompile, or resell any part of the app
- Copy or redistribute our questions, articles, or other content
- Interfere with the app's operation or security
- Use the app for anything illegal
9. Our intellectual property
The Daisy's Guide name, logo, app, question sets, articles, and design are ours or licensed to us, and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws.
Buying app access gives you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the app for as long as it exists. It does not transfer ownership of anything.
10. Third-party services
We rely on other companies to operate the app, including Apple, our payment processors, our hosting provider, and an AI provider. Their terms apply to their part of the transaction. We are not responsible for their services.
11. If you got the app from the Apple App Store
These terms apply in addition to the Apple Media Services Terms. The following are required by Apple and are true:
- This agreement is between you and Daisy's Guide only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content.
- Your license to use the app is a non-transferable license to use it on Apple-branded devices you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms.
- Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the app. Support requests go to legal@daisysguide.com.
- If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the app.
- We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the app, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to conform to a legal requirement, and claims under consumer protection or privacy law.
- We, not Apple, are responsible for investigating and resolving any third-party claim that the app infringes that party's intellectual property rights.
- You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as a terrorist-supporting country, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms as they apply to the app, and may enforce them against you.
12. Ending your use
You can stop using the app at any time, and you can delete your account from within it.
We may suspend or terminate access if you materially breach these terms. If we do, sections 6 through 9 and 12 through 17 survive.
Terminating your account does not revoke app access you purchased, and it does not entitle you to a refund.
13. Warranties and disclaimers
We provide the app "as is" and "as available." To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that your data will always be available.
Nothing in these terms limits any right you have under consumer protection law that cannot be limited by agreement.
14. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
- We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or loss of goodwill.
- Our total liability to you for any claim relating to the app is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose, or one hundred US dollars.
This limit applies regardless of the legal theory and even if we were told the damages were possible. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limits, in which case they apply to the fullest extent allowed there.
15. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Volk Ventures LLC and its owner, contractors, and contributors from claims, damages, and reasonable legal fees arising out of your misuse of the app, your violation of these terms, or your violation of someone else's rights.
16. Disputes
Talk to us first. If something goes wrong, email legal@daisysguide.com and describe the problem. Most things get resolved this way. Both of us agree to try, in good faith, for 30 days before starting anything formal.
Arbitration. If we cannot resolve it, you and we agree that any dispute will be settled by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, in San Diego County, California, or remotely at your election. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.
You and we each waive the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or representative proceeding. Arbitration is one person against one company.
Small claims are exempt. Either of us can bring an individual claim in small claims court instead.
You can opt out of arbitration. Email legal@daisysguide.com within 30 days of first accepting these terms, with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" and your account email. Opting out costs you nothing and changes nothing else.
Governing law. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Where arbitration does not apply, the courts in San Diego County, California have exclusive jurisdiction.
17. Everything else
Changes. We may update these terms. The effective date at the top reflects the current version. If a change is material, we will give you notice by email or in the app before it takes effect. Continuing to use the app after that means you accept it.
Assignment. You may not assign these terms. We may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a sale of the business.
Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
No waiver. Not enforcing a provision once does not waive it.
Entire agreement. These terms, our App Privacy Policy, and the specific promise presented to you at purchase are the whole agreement between us about the app.
