Effective date: June 21, 2026

⚠️ Starting draft — not legal advice. Have a lawyer review before publishing and fill in every [BRACKET]. App Store apps must make terms available (commonly linked in the app and on your website).

These Terms govern your use of Hodge (the "App"), operated by its independent developer ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the App.

1. What Hodge is — and is not

Hodge is a self-help coaching tool that helps each partner reflect after a conflict and communicate better. Hodge is not therapy, counseling, medical or mental-health care, crisis intervention, or professional advice of any kind. It does not diagnose or treat any condition. If you are in crisis, in danger, or experiencing abuse, contact local emergency services or a crisis line — Hodge is not a substitute for professional or emergency help.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 (or the age of digital consent where you live) and able to form a binding contract. The App is for personal, non-commercial use.

3. Your account

You're responsible for your account and for keeping your login secure. Provide accurate information. You may delete your account at any time from within the App.

4. Pairing and shared content

Hodge links you with one partner via a code. Content you share in a room is visible to your paired partner. You can unpair at any time, which dissolves the link and erases the shared room for both of you. Don't pair with anyone who hasn't agreed to use the App with you.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use Hodge to harass, threaten, abuse, coerce, or harm another person.
• Upload unlawful content, or content that violates someone's rights.
• Attempt to access another couple's data, probe, or disrupt the service.
• Use the App for any commercial, clinical, or professional-advice purpose.
• Misrepresent your identity or use the App on someone's behalf without consent.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe create a safety risk. You can report problems from within the App; reports go only to our team.
