Terms of Use
Last updated May 26, 2026
In short
Footing is a daily companion for the weeks after a layoff. It is not therapy, medical advice, or career advice. Use it gently, and don’t use it in a crisis — these terms explain the rest.
1. Acceptance
By downloading, installing, or using the Footing iOS app (“the App”) or this website (“the Site”), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the App or the Site.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age in your country, if older) to use Footing. By using the App, you confirm you meet this requirement.
3. Your account
The App creates an anonymous account on first launch. You may later link it to an email or your Apple ID. You’re responsible for keeping access to the device or identity provider you use to sign in. If your account is compromised, contact us so we can help.
4. Subscriptions, free trial, and refunds
Footing offers a free trial and a paid subscription. Subscriptions are billed through your Apple ID and managed by Apple. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before renewal in your Apple ID settings. Refunds are handled by Apple in accordance with their policies — we can’t issue refunds directly.
If you cancel, you keep access until the end of the period you’ve already paid for.
5. What you may do
Use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes. You can complete tasks, build your streak, share your progress with people you choose to share it with, and export your data.
6. What you may not do
Please don’t reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to circumvent the App’s technical limits; don’t use the App to harm others; don’t scrape or republish our content; and don’t pretend to be us.
7. Content and intellectual property
The App’s daily tasks, copy, design, and brand are ours. You’re granted a personal, non-transferable license to use them through the App. Anything you write in your own Notes or Journal app stays yours — Footing doesn’t see it, doesn’t store it, and claims no rights to it.
8. Important: Footing is not therapy or medical advice
Footing is a structured daily companion designed to help people through a hard transition. It is not therapy, counseling, mental-health treatment, medical advice, financial advice, legal advice, or career advice. Nothing in the App should be relied on as a substitute for professional help.
If you’re in crisis or thinking about hurting yourself, please reach out to a crisis line or emergency services in your country right away. In the United States, you can call or text 988.
9. Disclaimers
The App is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We don’t guarantee the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any specific outcome (job, mood, recovery) will follow from using it.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Footing’s total liability arising from your use of the App or Site is limited to the amount you paid us for the App in the twelve months before the claim arose. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages.
TODO · lawyer review
Liability cap language varies by jurisdiction; confirm phrasing with counsel before launch.
11. Termination
You can stop using the App at any time and delete your account from within the App. We may suspend or end your access if you materially breach these terms — we’ll generally give you a chance to remedy the issue first when possible.
12. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date tells you when. Material changes will also be surfaced in the App. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.
13. Governing law
TODO · lawyer review
Specify governing law and dispute-resolution venue (arbitration vs. courts; class-action waiver where enforceable). Decision affects which jurisdictions to call out explicitly.
