Terms of Use
Last updated: July 23, 2026
1. Acceptance of the Terms
By creating an account or using HabitForward, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, you should not use the platform. These terms apply to all features of HabitForward, including challenges, Ask Simon, and The Forward Circle.
2. Eligibility and Account Responsibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use HabitForward. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for all activity that occurs under your account. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us promptly.
3. Appropriate Use of the Platform
You agree to use HabitForward lawfully and respectfully. The platform is meant for personal growth, accountability, and encouragement. You may not misuse the service, interfere with its operation, or attempt to access data or systems you are not authorized to access.
4. User-Generated Community Content
Content you post in The Forward Circle or within challenge discussions is your responsibility. You retain ownership of your content but grant HabitForward a license to display it within the platform. You agree not to post content that is unlawful, harmful, harassing, misleading, or infringes on someone else's rights. HabitForward may remove content that violates these terms.
5. Prohibited Conduct
You may not harass, threaten, or impersonate others; spam the community; attempt to disrupt the service; reverse engineer the platform; or use HabitForward for any illegal or fraudulent purpose. Violations may result in content removal or account termination.
6. Intellectual Property
HabitForward, its name, logo, design, and software are owned by HabitForward and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, redistribute, or create derivative works from the platform without permission. Your own content remains yours as described above.
7. Paid Subscriptions and Cancellation
HabitForward offers a Pro subscription with monthly and annual billing, processed through our third-party payment provider. You can cancel your subscription at any time; cancellation stops future renewals while your current billing period remains active. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law. We may change pricing with reasonable notice, and any change applies to your next renewal.
8. Ask Simon Limitations
Ask Simon is a general habit-planning and self-improvement tool. It is not a substitute for professional medical, mental-health, legal, or financial advice. Simon's responses are generated to support your personal growth and should not be relied upon for diagnosis, treatment, or professional decisions. If you need such guidance, please consult a qualified professional.
9. No Guarantee of Personal Results
HabitForward provides tools and encouragement to help you build consistency, but your results depend on your own effort and circumstances. We make no guarantee that you will achieve any particular outcome from using the platform.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties
HabitForward is provided "as is" and "as available." To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, HabitForward and its founder shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for any loss of data or streaks, arising from your use of the platform. Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the preceding twelve months, if any.
12. Account Suspension or Termination
We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these terms or if we believe your activity is harmful to the platform or its members. You may close your account at any time. Upon termination, some content and data may be removed in accordance with our retention practices.
13. Changes to the Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated with reasonable notice, and continued use of HabitForward after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
14. Contact Information
If you have questions about these terms, please contact the founder, Courtney Simons, Ph.D., at courtney@habitforward.app.
