Terms of Service
Terms of Service
Effective Date: June 3, 2026 · Last Updated: June 4, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you ("you" or "User") and the independent individual developer who operates MoodDeck (the "Developer," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your use of the MoodDeck mobile application and related services (collectively, the "Service").
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS, LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, AND A SECTION ON AUTO-RENEWING SUBSCRIPTIONS. By downloading, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 17 years old to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are 17 or older and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
2. What MoodDeck Is
MoodDeck is a lifestyle and personal-journaling app. You can record how you feel, and the App offers AI-generated reflections, phrases, music suggestions, and small self-care prompts intended for general entertainment, relaxation, and self-reflection.
3. NOT MEDICAL, HEALTHCARE, OR PROFESSIONAL ADVICE
This is the most important section. Please read it carefully.
- MoodDeck is not a medical device, medical service, mental-health service, telehealth service, or healthcare product. It is a general-purpose lifestyle and journaling app, comparable to a diary.
- The Service, including any AI-generated text, mood labels, music suggestions, prompts, and summaries (collectively, "Content"), is provided for general informational, entertainment, and self-reflection purposes only. Despite any wording used in the App or its underlying code, the Content is not medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, therapy, counseling, or a prescription, and must never be relied upon as such.
- Using the Service does not create any doctor–patient, therapist–client, counselor–client, or other professional relationship between you and the Developer.
- The Service is not a substitute for professional medical, psychological, psychiatric, or mental-health advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of a qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical or mental-health condition. Never disregard professional advice or delay seeking it because of something you read or received in the Service.
- If you are in crisis or may be a danger to yourself or others, do not use the App. Immediately contact your local emergency services or a crisis hotline.
- You acknowledge and agree that you use the Service and any Content entirely at your own risk and are solely responsible for any decisions or actions you take based on it.
4. AI-Generated Content
The Content is generated by automated AI systems and third-party AI providers. You understand and agree that:
- AI-generated Content may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, offensive, nonsensical, or otherwise unsuitable, and may not reflect your actual situation.
- We do not review, endorse, or guarantee any Content, and we make no warranty as to its accuracy, reliability, or fitness for any purpose.
- Music and other suggestions may reference or link to third-party platforms (such as YouTube) that we do not control and are not responsible for. Your use of those platforms is governed by their own terms.
- You should exercise your own judgment and not rely on any Content.
5. Your Account
You may need to sign in using Sign in with Apple or Google Sign-In. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your device and account and for all activity that occurs under your account. You may delete your account at any time within the App (Settings → Account → Delete Account); doing so permanently deletes your account and all associated data and cannot be undone. We may suspend or terminate accounts as described in Section 13.
6. Your Content
- You own the journal text and information you create and submit ("User Content"). We do not claim ownership of it.
- You grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, process, transmit, and display your User Content solely to operate and provide the Service to you (including transmitting your mood text to third-party AI providers to generate Content, as described in our Privacy Policy).
- You represent that you have the right to submit your User Content and that it does not violate any law or third-party right.
- You are solely responsible for your User Content. We may remove content or limit the Service if we reasonably believe it violates these Terms or applicable law, but we have no obligation to monitor it.
7. License to Use the Service
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the App on a device you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial use. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
You agree not to: (a) copy, modify, reverse-engineer, decompile, or create derivative works of the App except as permitted by law; (b) use the Service for any unlawful, harmful, infringing, or abusive purpose; (c) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its systems; (d) interfere with or disrupt the Service; (e) use automated means to access the Service; or (f) resell or commercially exploit the Service.
8. Subscriptions — MoodDeck PLUS (Auto-Renewing)
MoodDeck offers an optional paid subscription, MoodDeck PLUS, that unlocks premium features. Please read these subscription terms carefully.
8.1 Plans, pricing, and free trial
- MoodDeck PLUS is offered as a monthly or an annual (yearly) auto-renewing subscription.
- Indicative pricing displayed in the App is, for example, ₩2,900 per month or ₩29,000 per year (the annual plan equating to roughly ₩2,417/month). Actual prices, currencies, taxes, and any free-trial length are shown to you in the App at the point of purchase and may vary by region, store, and over time.
- New subscribers may be offered a free trial (e.g., 3 days). If you begin a free trial and do not cancel before it ends, you will be automatically charged for the subscription. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription, where applicable.
8.2 Billing through Apple / Google — not by us
All payments are processed by the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store, not by the Developer. When you subscribe, payment is charged to your Apple or Google account upon confirmation of purchase (or at the end of any free trial). We do not collect, process, or store your payment-card details.
8.3 Automatic renewal
MoodDeck PLUS automatically renews. Your subscription renews automatically for the same period at the then-current price, and your account is charged, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. Your subscription will continue to renew until you cancel.
8.4 How to cancel
You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time through your store account settings:
- iOS / Apple: Settings → your name → Subscriptions → MoodDeck.
- Android / Google Play: Play Store → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → MoodDeck.
Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you keep access to PLUS features until then. The Developer cannot cancel your subscription for you and has no access to your store payment settings.
8.5 Refunds
All purchases are final, and the Developer does not provide refunds. Refunds, where available, are handled solely by Apple or Google under their respective policies, and you must request them directly from the applicable store. Cancelling a subscription stops future renewals but does not entitle you to a refund for the current period, except where required by applicable law.
8.6 Price changes
We may change subscription prices. If a price increase applies to your subscription, the applicable store will notify you and, where required, seek your consent before the increase takes effect, in accordance with the store's rules. If you do not agree, you may cancel.
8.7 Restore purchases
If you reinstall the App or switch devices, you can restore an active subscription using the "Restore Purchases" option, subject to your store account.
8.8 Free features may change
We may add, modify, or remove features (including moving features between the free and paid tiers) at any time, as described in Section 12.
8.9 Advertising and the free tier
The free tier is supported by advertising. To generate cards on the free tier, you may be asked to watch a rewarded ad first; completing the ad unlocks the action. Ads are served by third parties (currently Google AdMob) and are subject to those parties' own terms and policies, which we do not control. MoodDeck PLUS removes ads. We may change how, when, and whether ads are shown at any time. How advertising data is handled is described in our Privacy Policy.
9. Third-Party Stores and Services
Your download and use of the App is also subject to the terms of the app store you obtained it from (Apple or Google) and to the terms and privacy policies of third-party services the App relies on. We are not responsible for third-party services. Section 16 (Apple) applies if you obtained the App from the Apple App Store.
10. Intellectual Property
The Service, including the App, its design, text, graphics, logos, and software (excluding your User Content), is owned by the Developer or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms do not grant you any right to our trademarks or branding.
11. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, THAT DATA WILL NOT BE LOST, OR THAT ANY CONTENT WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM THE SERVICE CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED HERE.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
12. Changes to the Service
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any feature) at any time, with or without notice, and we are not liable to you or any third party for doing so. We may also impose limits on certain features or restrict access.
13. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause or notice. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 3, 4, 6, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, and 17) will survive.
14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:
- IN NO EVENT WILL THE DEVELOPER BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE OR ANY CONTENT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
- THIS INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DAMAGES RELATING TO RELIANCE ON ANY CONTENT, ANY DECISION OR ACTION YOU TAKE, OR ANY EMOTIONAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, HEALTH, OR PERSONAL OUTCOME.
- THE DEVELOPER'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO THE DEVELOPER THROUGH THE APP IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $50.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW (SUCH AS LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, WHERE NON-WAIVABLE).
15. Indemnification
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Developer from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of these Terms or any law; or (d) your violation of any third-party right.
16. Apple App Store Additional Terms
If you obtained the App from the Apple App Store, the following also applies, and prevails to the extent it conflicts with other terms:
- These Terms are between you and the Developer only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
- Your license to use the App is limited to use on Apple-branded products you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service.
- Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the App. Any support questions should be directed to the Developer at kjk2678@gmail.com.
- To the extent permitted by law, Apple has no warranty obligation with respect to the App, and any claims relating to a failure to conform to a warranty are the Developer's responsibility (and any refund will be handled per Section 8).
- Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App, including product-liability claims, consumer-protection claims, or intellectual-property claims.
- You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as "terrorist-supporting," and are not on any U.S. Government restricted-parties list.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
17. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
- Informal resolution first. Before bringing any formal claim, you agree to contact us at kjk2678@gmail.com and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.
- Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Developer resides — the Republic of Korea — without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, and excluding the U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer-protection rights in your country of residence remain unaffected.
- Venue. Subject to applicable mandatory law, you agree that the courts located in the Developer's place of residence will have jurisdiction over disputes not subject to arbitration.
- No class actions. To the extent permitted by applicable law, disputes will be resolved on an individual basis, and you waive any right to participate in a class or representative action.
18. General
- Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and the Developer regarding the Service and supersede prior agreements.
- Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect, and the unenforceable provision will be limited to the minimum extent necessary.
- No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver.
- Assignment. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a transfer of the Service.
- Force majeure. We are not liable for failures or delays caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
- Changes to these Terms. We may update these Terms from time to time. We will revise the "Last Updated" date and, where appropriate, provide notice in the App. Your continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
