Terms of Use

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Sknowfield LLC, doing business as “Footing”(“Footing”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). They govern your use of the Footing iOS app (the “App”) and the Footing website at footing.day (the “Site”, and together with the App, the “Service”).

Please read these Terms carefully. They include important provisions that limit our liability (sections 13 and 14) and that govern how disputes are resolved (section 18), including a waiver of jury trial and class actions.

1. Acceptance of these Terms

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Service — including by continuing past the onboarding screens, starting a subscription, or tapping any “agree” or “continue” control presented with a link to these Terms — you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

If you are using the Service on behalf of someone else (for example, a minor in your care — see section 2), you represent that you have the authority to accept these Terms for both of you.

2. Eligibility and age

The Service is intended for a general audience and is rated 16+ in the App Store. To use Footing, you must be 18 or older, or 13 to 17 and using the Service with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf. You must also be legally able to enter into a contract. Footing is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly allow them to use the Service.

By using the Service, you confirm that you meet these requirements.

3. What Footing is — and what it is not

Footing is a structured, self-guided program: one suggested task per day for about 90 days, with gentle pacing, reflection prompts, and a “graduation” at the end of the program. It is designed to help people move through the disruption that follows a layoff.

Footing is a wellness and self-help product. It is not, and does not provide:

• medical, psychological, psychiatric, or clinical care or treatment;
• diagnosis, therapy, or counseling;
• legal, financial, or career advice; or
• the services of a licensed professional of any kind.

Using the Service does not create a therapist–client, physician–patient, counselor–client, or any other professional or fiduciary relationship between you and us. The App may reference a brief self-check (a PHQ-2 screen) to adjust your pacing; this is a self-guidance feature, not a clinical assessment or diagnosis, and your answers stay on your device (see our Privacy Policy).

Always seek the advice of a qualified health provider with any questions you have about your physical or mental health, and never disregard or delay seeking professional advice because of something in the App.

4. Not for emergencies or crisis

The Service is not designed for emergencies and is not a crisis, suicide-prevention, or mental-health hotline. Do not rely on Footing if you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself or others.

If you are in crisis or this is an emergency, contact emergency services immediately. In the United States, you can call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or text HOME to 741741(Crisis Text Line), or call 911. The App’s Support screen lists these and other resources for convenience. Those resources are operated by third parties, not by Footing; we provide them as-is, do not control them, and are not responsible for them.

5. No guaranteed outcomes

Footing offers structure and encouragement — not a promised result. We do not guarantee any particular outcome, including re-employment, an interview, income, recovery, symptom relief, improved mood, or any specific change in your circumstances. Individual results vary and depend on factors outside our control. Completing the program and reaching “graduation” means you finished the 90-day program — it is not a clinical, medical, or employment outcome, and it is not a certification of anything.

6. Your account

The App creates an anonymous account for you on first launch so your progress can be saved and synced. You may later link it to your Apple ID using Sign in with Apple, which helps you recover your account (for example, after reinstalling the App). You are responsible for maintaining access to the device and the Apple ID you use with the Service, and for activity that occurs through your account. If you believe your account has been accessed without your authorization, contact us at support@footing.day.

You may delete your account at any time from within the App (Settings → Delete account). Deleting your account erases your journey data on our backend and wipes the App’s on-device data; it does not by itself cancel a paid subscription (see section 7).

7. Subscriptions, free trial, billing, and refunds

Access to the full 90-day journey requires a paid subscription. As of the date above, Footing is offered as a monthly subscription at $9.99/month and an annual subscription at $59.99/year, typically with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. Current pricing, trial length, and terms are shown to you on the purchase screen before you buy and control if they differ from the amounts here.

Subscriptions are sold and processed through your Apple ID by Apple — not by Footing. By subscribing, you agree to the following:

• Auto-renewal. Your subscription automatically renews at the end of each billing period at the then-current price, and your Apple account is charged, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Free trial. If your plan includes a free trial, it converts to a paid, auto-renewing subscription when the trial ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited if you buy a subscription during the trial.
• Managing and canceling. You manage and cancel your subscription in your Apple ID subscription settings (the App’s Settings → Manage subscription deep-links you there). If you cancel, you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for.
• Refunds. Refunds are handled by Apple under Apple’s policies. We cannot issue refunds directly and do not control whether Apple grants one.
• Payment data. We neverreceive your card number or payment details; Apple processes all payments. We see only your subscription’s entitlement state (active, trial, expired) through our subscription provider, RevenueCat.

Apple’s own terms (including the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions) also apply to your purchase.

8. License to use the Service

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download and use the App on a device you own or control, and to access the Site, for your own personal, non-commercial use. This license lasts only as long as you comply with these Terms.

The Service — including its daily tasks, text, program structure, design, logos, and the “Footing” name and brand — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for the license above, we grant you no rights in the Service, and all rights not expressly granted are reserved.

9. Your own writing stays yours

Footing is built so that your most personal material never reaches us. When a task invites open journaling, the App deep-links into your own Notes, Apple Journal, Day One, or another app you choose; what you write there is yours alone. We do not see it, receive it, or store it, and we claim no rights in it. Your private check-in answers and structured task responses likewise stay on your device. Because the Service stores no user content for us, there is no content for us to host, moderate, or license.

You are responsible for your own backups of anything you write in third-party apps; we have no access to it and cannot recover it for you.

10. Acceptable use

When using the Service, you agree not to:

• use the Service for any unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful purpose, or in violation of these Terms;
• copy, scrape, republish, sell, rent, or commercially exploit the Service or its content;
• reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the App, except where that restriction is prohibited by law;
• circumvent, disable, or interfere with the Service’s security, technical limits, subscription gating, or intended operation;
• introduce malware or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, our systems, or our service providers’ systems; or
• impersonate us or misrepresent your affiliation with us.

We may investigate and respond to suspected violations, including by suspending or terminating access (section 15).

11. Third-party services and links

The Service relies on and links to third parties — including Apple (Sign in with Apple and in-app purchases), Supabase, RevenueCat, PostHog, Sentry, and TikTok (advertising attribution — only if you allow tracking), and outbound links to your own note-taking apps and to external crisis and support resources. We do not control these third parties, do not endorse them, and are not responsiblefor their content, availability, practices, or terms. Your use of a third-party service is governed by that party’s own terms and privacy policy. How our service providers handle data is described in our Privacy Policy.

The App includes TikTok’s advertising-measurement SDK, which helps us understand whether our ads help people discover Footing. It reads your device’s advertising identifier only if you allow tracking when iOS asks you (App Tracking Transparency); if you decline, no advertising identifier is read or shared with TikTok. What it collects, and the choices you have, are described in our Privacy Policy.

12. Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices and rights you have. By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read it.

13. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT ANY CONTENT OR RESULT IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR RELIABLE. NOTIFICATIONS AND REMINDERS ARE DELIVERED ON A BEST-EFFORT BASIS AND DEPEND ON YOUR DEVICE AND ITS SETTINGS; WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THEIR DELIVERY OR TIMING.

YOU ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR HOW YOU USE THE SERVICE AND FOR ANY ACTION YOU TAKE BASED ON IT. The Service does not replace professional judgment or care. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you.

14. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FOOTING WILL NOT 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 RELATING TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US (THROUGH APPLE) FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) US $100.

These limits do not apply to liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law — for example, liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud or willful misconduct. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

15. Termination and suspension

You may stop using the Service at any time and delete your account from within the App. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you materially breach these Terms or use the Service in a way that creates risk or legal exposure for us or others; where practical and not urgent, we will try to give you notice and an opportunity to fix the problem first.

Terminating your access does not by itself cancel or refund a subscription billed by Apple — manage that through your Apple ID (section 7). Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including sections 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, and 19 — will survive.

16. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Footing (Sknowfield LLC) from any third-party claims, losses, and reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of your misuse of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party. This is a standard, individual-consumer indemnity; it is not intended to shift liability for our own wrongdoing.

17. Apple-specific terms

These Terms are between you and Footing only, not with Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. You acknowledge that:

• The license granted in section 8 is limited to using the App on Apple-branded devices you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service.
• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App.
• To the extent permitted by law, Apple has no warranty obligationfor the App, and any warranty claims, product-liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and claims under consumer-protection or similar law are our responsibility, not Apple’s.
• Apple is not responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party that the App infringes intellectual-property rights.
• You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as “terrorist-supporting,” and that you are not on a U.S. Government prohibited-or-restricted- parties list.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

18. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and by applicable U.S. federal law. The Service is intended for users in the United States.

Informal resolution first. Before filing anything, please email us at support@footing.day so we can try to resolve the matter informally. Most concerns can be handled this way.

Venue.If we can’t resolve a dispute informally, you and we agree that it will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Colorado, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there — except that either of us may bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies.

Jury-trial waiver. To the extent permitted by law, you and we each waive any right to a jury trial in any dispute arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms.

Class-action waiver. To the extent permitted by law, disputes will be brought only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, or representative action.

Nothing in this section limits any rights you may have under mandatory consumer-protection laws of your place of residence that cannot be waived by agreement.

19. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above, and material changes will also be surfaced in the App. Changes are effective when posted. Your continued use of the Service after a change means you accept the updated Terms.If you don’t agree to a change, stop using the Service and cancel any subscription through Apple.

20. Miscellaneous

• Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service and supersede any prior agreements on that subject.
• Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect, and the unenforceable provision is limited or removed only to the minimum extent necessary.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of our assets.
• Notices.We may give you notice through the App, the Site, or by email if you’ve linked one. You can reach us at support@footing.day.
• No agency. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship between you and us.
