Terms of Service — Eunomia

Version 1.8

Last updated: 2026-07-06

⚠ Important notice — please read first

Eunomia is a personal reflection tool. It is NOT a substitute for professional mental health care, counseling, or medical advice. Eunomia does not diagnose, treat, or cure any condition.

If you are in crisis or feel you may be a danger to yourself or others, contact a qualified professional or local emergency services immediately:

EU: 112 (general emergency)
US: 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or 911
UK: 999 or Samaritans 116 123
Switzerland: 143 (Die Dargebotene Hand) or 144

1. Acceptance

These Terms form a binding agreement between you ("you") and Joanna Bednarczyk, an independent developer based in Switzerland, operating under the trade name "Studio Volt" ("the developer", "I"). By downloading, installing, or using Eunomia (the "App"), you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

You must be at least 17 years old to use Eunomia. This is a requirement of these Terms based on the app's intended audience; it is separate from the App Store age rating, which reflects content classification only.

2. Important — who Eunomia is for

Eunomia is a personal reflection and self-improvement tool for people in stable mental health who want to think more clearly about their day-to-day experiences. It is built around journaling and structured self-reflection, drawing loose inspiration from cognitive techniques.

Eunomia is NOT designed for, and is not appropriate for, people who:

are experiencing a mental health crisis, suicidal thoughts, or self-harm urges
have a diagnosed mental health condition requiring professional treatment
are using or seeking medical advice, diagnosis, or therapy
are minors under 17 (Eunomia's intended audience is adults; this exclusion is set by these Terms, not by the App Store age rating, which reflects content classification only)

If any of the above applies to you, please stop using Eunomia and contact a qualified professional or local crisis services:

🇪🇺 EU: 112 · Telefon Zaufania PL: 116 123
🇺🇸 US: 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline)
🇬🇧 UK: 116 123 (Samaritans)
🇨🇭 CH: 143 (Die Dargebotene Hand) · 144 (medical emergency)

3. Limitation of liability — independent developer

Eunomia is provided by an independent individual developer, not a corporation, hospital, clinic, or licensed practitioner. The developer is not a mental health professional and Eunomia provides no professional service of any kind.

The developer assumes no responsibility for:

your mental, emotional, or psychological state, before, during, or after using the app
decisions you make based on suggestions, AI parsing, or reframes generated within the app
actions you take in response to your reflections or AI output
outcomes of conversations you have with others using content exported from the app
any action, inaction, or harm to yourself or to any third party arising from content you wrote in the app or from AI-generated suggestions, including content concerning self-harm, harm to others, or unlawful acts
any loss, harm, distress, or consequence — emotional or otherwise — arising from your use

You use Eunomia entirely at your own discretion and risk, and you assume all risk arising from that use. By installing and opening the app, you accept that this is a personal tool, not a service rendered by a professional.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and except for liability that cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory law (including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for gross negligence or wilful misconduct where such liability cannot be excluded), the developer's total aggregate liability to you arising out of or relating to the App or these Terms is limited to the total amount you paid us for the App in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, and in any case shall not exceed CHF 50. The developer is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profit, goodwill, or anticipated savings, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Nothing in this section limits or excludes any liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded, or any non-waivable rights you have under the mandatory law of your country of residence.

4. License

A personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license is granted to you to install and use Eunomia on Apple devices you own or control, in accordance with the Apple Media Services Terms and these Terms. You may not:

copy, modify, reverse engineer, or create derivative works of the App,
rent, lease, lend, or sublicense it,
circumvent paid features or usage limits,
use the App to violate any law or anyone's rights.

The developer retains all rights, title, and interest in Eunomia, including its name, logo, content, and code.

5. The App is a self-reflection tool

Eunomia helps you write down and structure your thoughts using the Padesky 7-column journaling method. Any AI features generate suggestions based on the text you provide. These suggestions:

are not professional advice,
are not personalized care,
may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable for your situation,
should not be relied on for any decision regarding your health, safety, or wellbeing.

Use Eunomia as you would a private notebook. If you need support, please reach out to a qualified professional or trusted person.

AI processing — on-device vs Cloud AI (and when Cloud AI is required)

Eunomia uses the following AI paths to turn reflections into structured 7-column records:

1. Apple Intelligence (on-device) — when your iPhone supports it AND your speech language is among those Apple Intelligence supports (currently English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Turkish, Vietnamese, and a small number of others — Apple's list changes over time and I do not control it). On-device processing means your text does not leave your iPhone. 2. Cloud AI — your reflection text is sent to a third-party AI provider and the structured result returns to you. Your reflection content is not retained by the developer beyond the time needed to return the result; only an anonymous token count is kept to enforce usage limits. The third-party AI provider handles your text under its own API terms and data-processing terms, which currently provide that API inputs are not used to train its models and are retained only for a limited period (typically up to 30 days) for abuse monitoring before deletion. Those terms are set by the provider, may change, and are not within the developer's control; the developer makes no independent warranty as to the provider's processing. Apple-Intelligence-style on-device privacy does not apply to Cloud AI. The current provider is listed in the Privacy Policy.

Cloud AI is opt-in for supported languages and required for unsupported languages.

If your iPhone's speech language is one Apple Intelligence does not support (Polish is the current canonical example), Apple's on-device AI cannot parse your reflections in that language. In that case, Cloud AI is the only path that produces a meaningful Padesky structure. Eunomia will:

show a clear consent screen during onboarding explaining this before any text is sent,
offer you a starting trial of 2 free Cloud AI parses,
let you decline. If you decline, the app's structured AI parsing features will not work for entries in that language. You can still record audio and read raw transcripts, but the 7-column structure will not be filled in automatically; you can write it in by hand.
let you change your mind at any time in Settings → AI & Privacy.

By using the app you acknowledge that this is a fair design trade-off given the current state of on-device AI language coverage, and that you remain in control of when and whether your text leaves your device.

5a. No monitoring; no emergency service

Eunomia is not monitored by any person. The developer does not read, review, monitor, or moderate your entries, and is under no obligation to do so. Eunomia may, on a best-effort basis and entirely on your device, recognise some words associated with distress and respond by showing crisis-resource information; this is a convenience feature, not a safety system. It will miss many cases, may trigger when nothing is wrong, and must never be relied upon to detect a crisis, summon help, contact anyone, or alert any emergency service. Eunomia cannot and does not contact emergency services, professionals, family, or any third party on your behalf. If you need help, you must contact the resources listed above yourself.

5b. Authorship and control of generated output

Any AI output in Eunomia — parsed structures, suggestions, drafts, and reframes (together, "Generated Output") — is produced automatically by software, in direct response to, and shaped by, the text you provide. As between you and the developer:

You are the author and sole controller of Generated Output. It is generated for you alone and delivered only to you within the App, and it is you who decides whether to keep, edit, discard, share, export, or act on it.
The developer does not author, review, verify, adopt, endorse, or publish Generated Output, does not communicate it to anyone other than you, expresses no view, statement, or opinion through it, and is under no obligation to review or verify it before it is shown to you.
Generated Output is automatic and unverified. It may be inaccurate, incomplete, out of date, offensive, or otherwise unsuitable, and it is not a statement of fact about you or about any other person.
If you choose to share, export, or otherwise publish any content from the App, including Generated Output, you do so as its author and publisher. You are solely responsible for that content, for the decision to disclose it, and for its effect on any third party.

To the extent any intellectual-property rights subsist in Generated Output, the developer claims none against you.

AI suggestions are prompts for your own private self-reflection; they are not statements of fact about any person, and you are solely responsible for any content you create, share, or export from the App.

6. Subscriptions, top-ups, and auto-renewal

Eunomia offers a free trial and several paid subscription tiers. Current tiers and prices are shown in-app and managed by Apple's App Store.

Auto-renewal disclosures (required by Apple)

Title of the subscription: shown in-app at the time of purchase (for example, "Premium" or "Power").
Length of the subscription: monthly, unless stated otherwise at purchase.
Price of the subscription: shown in-app in your local currency at the time of purchase.
Payment will be charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
The subscription automatically renews for the same period unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period at the price of the selected plan.
You can manage and cancel your subscriptions by going to your Apple Account settings on your device after purchase. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period.
Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when you purchase a paid subscription.

Top-ups

One-time top-ups (such as additional AI tokens) are non-subscription in-app purchases. They do not auto-renew and are consumed as you use the app.

Refunds

All purchases are processed by Apple. Refund requests are handled by Apple under their refund policy. To request a refund, visit reportaproblem.apple.com. The developer does not have the ability to issue refunds directly.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

use Eunomia for anything illegal, harmful, or abusive,
attempt to access another user's data or backend systems,
interfere with the App's operation or security,
use the optional Cloud AI feature to submit content that is illegal, that infringes someone's rights, or that violates the AI provider's usage policies (which apply because Cloud AI uses a third-party AI provider as a sub-processor).

The developer has no obligation to monitor content but may remove access, refuse processing, or take other action if content submitted to Cloud AI is unlawful or violates the AI provider's policies. The developer does not thereby assume any duty to monitor.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

The App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The developer does not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure against all attacks, or that AI suggestions or any Generated Output will be accurate, complete, correct, reliable, or appropriate, or that any Generated Output is suitable or safe to rely or act on. Any reliance you place on Generated Output is at your own risk.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, all warranties not expressly stated in these Terms are disclaimed. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you; in that case such warranties are limited to the minimum scope and shortest duration permitted by mandatory law.

8a. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the developer from and against any third-party claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, and reasonable expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your misuse of the App; (b) your breach of these Terms; (c) content you submit through the optional Cloud AI feature that is unlawful or infringes a third party's rights; or (d) your violation of any law or of the rights of any third party. This section does not apply to the extent a claim arises from the developer's own gross negligence or wilful misconduct, and does not require you to indemnify the developer where doing so is prohibited by the mandatory consumer-protection law of your country of residence.

9. Termination

You may stop using Eunomia at any time by uninstalling the App. The developer may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms or if the App is discontinued. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (license restrictions, disclaimers, limitations of liability, governing law) will survive.

10. Assignment and successor entity

The developer is currently an individual sole operator. The developer may assign, novate, or transfer these Terms and the App, in whole or in part, to any successor or affiliated entity (e.g., Studio Volt GmbH or Studio Volt SA) once incorporated, or in connection with a merger, reorganisation, or sale of assets. On such transfer the successor entity assumes the developer's obligations to you under these Terms going forward, and the developer is released from those obligations to the extent they are assumed. No additional consent from you is required for such assignment. Your non-waivable rights under mandatory law remain unaffected by any such transfer. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without the developer's prior written consent.

11. Changes to these Terms

These Terms may be updated from time to time. If material changes are made, the version and "last updated" date above will be updated and you will be notified in-app before the change takes effect. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the new Terms.

12. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of Switzerland, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be brought in the competent Swiss courts, except where mandatory consumer-protection law in your country of residence gives you the right to bring proceedings in your local courts.

Nothing in this section limits any non-waivable consumer rights you have under the law of your country of residence.

12a. Severability, waiver, and entire agreement

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and modified to the minimum degree necessary to make it valid, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. The developer's failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the Apple Media Services Terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and the developer regarding the App and supersede any prior understanding on that subject.

13. Apple-specific terms

You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and Joanna Bednarczyk (operating under the trade name "Studio Volt"), not Apple, and that Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App. In the event the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
