Cadence Terms of Service

Last updated: November 10, 2026.

These terms are an agreement between you and Zachary Belden ("we", "us") about your use of the Cadence app ("Cadence"). By using Cadence you agree to them. If you don't agree, don't use Cadence.

1. Who can use Cadence

You must be at least 13 years old. If you're under 18, you need a parent or guardian's permission, and they agree to these terms for you.

2. What Cadence is (and isn't)

Cadence helps you plan your day, track habits, spending, meals, sleep and workouts, and share weekly progress with friends. Cadence is not a doctor, dietitian, allergist, therapist, or financial advisor.

• Health and sick days. Sleep scores, sick-day tips and health information are general information only, not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Always ask a doctor or pharmacist about your health and medicines. In an emergency, call 911 (or your local emergency number).
• Food and allergies. Meal ideas are generated by AI and checked against the allergies you enter, but no check is perfect. Packaged foods and sauces can hide allergens. You are responsible for reading labels and confirming every ingredient is safe for you and anyone you cook for.
• Money. Spending and bill features are for your own organization, not financial advice.
• AI features. Some features use an AI service. AI can be wrong, incomplete or out of date. Check anything important before you rely on it.

3. Your account

You're responsible for what happens on your account and for keeping your device secure. You can delete your account anytime in Settings.

4. Subscriptions and free trials

Some features need a paid subscription. Subscriptions are sold through Apple's App Store and renew automatically until you cancel. New accounts get a 14-day free trial that needs no payment details and never turns into a paid subscription on its own. When it ends, you can subscribe or keep using a free version with limited AI features. Cancel a subscription at least 24 hours before it renews to avoid the next charge. You can manage or cancel in your iPhone's Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions. Payments and refunds are handled by Apple under Apple's terms. Usage limits (such as daily AI actions) depend on your plan and may change.

5. Community rules

Cadence lets you share posts, reactions and comments with friends. Joking around with friends is fine. We have zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. You agree not to post or send anything that:

• harasses, bullies, threatens or intimidates anyone, or encourages self-harm;
• uses slurs or hate speech to attack someone;
• is sexual content sent to someone who doesn't want it, or involves minors in any sexual or inappropriate way;
• stalks or tracks anyone, including asking for or sharing where someone lives or is, or using Cadence to watch an ex or anyone who doesn't want contact;
• shares someone else's private information;
• is spam, a scam, or impersonates someone.

Friend requests. Nobody can see anything about you until you accept their request. You can turn off username search so only people with your invite code can find you, and you can block anyone at any time.

How enforcement works. Some content is blocked automatically (threats, stalking, self-harm, content involving minors, and the most severe slurs) and held for review. Other words may be flagged for review without being blocked. You can report anything and block anyone. A real person reviews reports and flags before any action is taken.

• Three strikes. Each confirmed violation from a report is a strike, and the content is removed. Strikes 1 and 2 come with a warning in the app. At 3 strikes your account is permanently suspended and you can no longer use Cadence.
• Severe violations (anything sexual involving minors, threats of violence, stalking, or doxxing) are reviewed first and may lead to immediate suspension without warnings. We may report them to the authorities.

Suspension applies even if you have a paid subscription. We don't owe a refund for a suspension caused by breaking these rules; refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple under its own policies. Creating new accounts to get around a suspension is not allowed. Content reported by several people may be hidden until it's reviewed.

6. Your content

You own what you post. You give us permission to store it and show it to the friends you share it with, only to run Cadence. You're responsible for what you post. Deleting a post or your account removes it from Cadence.

7. Things you can't do

Don't misuse Cadence: no hacking, scraping, overloading our systems, getting around usage limits, reverse engineering, or using Cadence to break the law.

8. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect and how we use it. Health data from Apple Health stays on your iPhone.

9. Changes and ending

We may update Cadence and these terms. If changes are significant we'll let you know in the app; using Cadence after that means you accept them. You can stop using Cadence anytime. We may suspend or end access if you break these terms.

10. Disclaimers

Cadence is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent the law allows. We don't promise Cadence will be error-free, always available, or that its information (including AI output, allergy checks, sleep scores and health tips) is accurate or complete.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any harm that results from relying on information in Cadence, including food you eat, health decisions, or financial decisions. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us for Cadence in the 12 months before the claim (or $50 if you paid nothing). Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

12. Indemnity

If you break these terms or the law, or your content causes a claim against us, you agree to cover our reasonable costs from it.

13. Law

These terms are governed by the laws of Massachusetts, USA, except where your local law says otherwise.

14. Apple

These terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple isn't responsible for Cadence or its content, and has no obligation to provide support. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them.
