Terms of Use

Squirrel Brain Last Updated: October 8, 2026 Effective Date: October 4, 2026

CRITICAL NOTICES — READ BEFORE USING THIS APP

BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. These Terms contain a binding arbitration clause and class action waiver in Section 22. Read Section 22 carefully. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not download, install, or use the App.

⚠ AI ACCURACY DISCLAIMER — THIS AFFECTS YOUR SAFETY

Squirrel Brain uses artificial intelligence to process your voice, images, and text. AI makes errors. Dates, times, names, alarm times, and calendar entries generated by AI may be wrong.

YOU MUST INDEPENDENTLY VERIFY ALL AI-GENERATED OUTPUTS, including every alarm, reminder, calendar event, and time-sensitive information, using a separate, reliable method before relying on them.

DO NOT rely solely on Squirrel Brain for:

  • Medical appointments or medication reminders
  • Legal or court deadlines
  • Flight or travel departures
  • Financial or tax deadlines
  • Any situation where a missed notification could cause harm

iOS CAN SUPPRESS ALARMS WITHOUT WARNING. Focus Mode, Low Power Mode, app restrictions, or a dead battery can silently prevent alarms from firing. Squirrel Brain is NOT a guaranteed alarm service.

WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR HARM CAUSED BY AI ERRORS OR MISSED NOTIFICATIONS. See Sections 10, 11, 18, and 19 for full details.

1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

1.1 Agreement

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a legally binding agreement between you and Acorn Labs LLC ("Squirrel Brain," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the Squirrel Brain iOS application, squirrelbrainapp.com, and all related features, content, and services (collectively, "Services").

By downloading, installing, creating an account, or using the App in any manner, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy (https://squirrelbrainapp.com/legal/privacy-policy). If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1.2 Electronic Acceptance

Your electronic acceptance constitutes your signature and agreement to these Terms with the same legal effect as a handwritten signature.

2. WHO MAY USE THE APP

2.1 Age Requirement

The App is available only to individuals at least 18 years of age. We do not offer a parental- or guardian-consent pathway for younger users, in any jurisdiction — if you are under 18, you may not use the Services, regardless of local age-of-majority or parental-consent rules that might otherwise permit a younger user to contract with parental consent. The App is not directed to children or teens under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we ever decide to permit younger users, we will amend these Terms, add the required consent mechanisms, and update our Privacy Policy before doing so.

2.2 Jurisdiction

You represent that your use of the Services is lawful in the jurisdiction where you access them. You are solely responsible for compliance with local laws applicable to your use.

2.3 Legal Capacity

You represent that you: (a) are of legal age to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction; (b) have the legal authority to enter into these Terms; and (c) have not been previously suspended or banned from the Services.

2.4 Business Users

These Terms apply to individual users. Business or enterprise use requires a separate written agreement with Squirrel Brain.

3. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

We may modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via in-app notification, email to your registered address, or a prominent notice on the Site, with at least 14 days' advance notice before taking effect. For material changes that significantly expand data processing or affect your legal rights, we will seek fresh consent where required by law.

Continued use of the Services after the effective date of changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using the Services before the effective date.

The date of the most recent revision appears at the top of these Terms. Prior versions of these Terms are archived and available upon request at hello@squirrelbrainapp.com

4. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

4.1 Voice Capture

You may record voice memos by tapping the microphone button (tap to start, tap again to stop — not press-and-hold). Audio is transmitted to our AI providers (see Section 5) to turn your speech into text and structure it into notes, tasks, reminders, and calendar events. By using voice capture, you explicitly consent to recording and AI processing of your voice. See Section 5 for the full list of AI providers.

Recording Third Parties. The voice capture feature records all audio within its range. Recording conversations with other people without their knowledge and consent may violate wiretapping, eavesdropping, and privacy laws in your jurisdiction, including California Penal Code § 632 (all-party consent required), the federal Electronic Communications Privacy Act (18 U.S.C. § 2510 et seq.), the Illinois Eavesdropping Act (720 ILCS 5/14-1 et seq.), the UK Investigatory Powers Act 2016, and the Australian Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979, among others. You are solely responsible for obtaining all required consents before recording. See also Section 14(k).

MEETING MODE — YOUR CONSENT OBLIGATION IS MANDATORY. Meeting Mode is specifically designed to capture multi-party conversations and stores the resulting audio in our cloud (retained on the same schedule as your other voice recordings — see our Privacy Policy Section 8 — until you delete the recording or your account, and deleted within 30 days of account deletion) so you can replay it. Before you begin a meeting recording, you must confirm that you have obtained the consent of every person present, consistent with the all-party-consent laws referenced above. YOU, not Squirrel Brain, are solely and entirely responsible for actually informing every participant and obtaining all legally required consents before you start a meeting recording, in every jurisdiction where a participant is located. We do not verify that you have done so, and we are not a party to your meetings.

4.2 Photo and Image Capture (PixNote)

You may capture photos or upload screenshots for AI analysis. Images are transmitted to our AI providers (see Section 5) for visual analysis, text extraction, and structuring into notes. By using photo capture, you explicitly consent to AI processing of your images. Up to ten (10) photos may be processed per PixNote submission.

4.3 Written Notes

Text you type is processed by our AI providers (see Section 5) to extract structured information, tasks, and calendar events.

4.4 Smart Alarms and Reminders

The App creates iOS local notifications and Apple Calendar events based on AI-extracted dates and times. These are iOS local notifications, not a guaranteed alarm service. See Section 11 for critical limitations.

4.5 Apple Calendar Integration

With your permission, the App reads from and writes to your Apple Calendar to create events and generate your Daily Brief. See Sections 7.3 and 11.3 for limitations and risks.

4.6 Daily Brief Emails

If you opt in, we send morning email summaries, 4 PM task nudge emails, and all-clear completion notifications via Resend. See Section 12.

4.7 Memory Stash and Link Stash

The App provides searchable archives of your AI-structured notes ("Memory Stash") and saved web links ("Link Stash"), including content saved via the iOS Share Extension from other applications.

4.8 AI Assistant (Pip)

Squirrel Brain includes a personalized AI assistant named "Pip." Pip is AI, not a human. Pip's replies and actions are generated by our AI providers; see Section 5. Pip is accessed within the App.

4.9 iOS Share Extension

The Share Extension allows you to save links and content from other iOS apps into your Link Stash and PixNote. You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to share content you ingest via the Share Extension. See Section 8 regarding your responsibilities for User Content.

4.10 Pre-Launch Waitlist

Submitting your email address at squirrelbrainapp.com constitutes consent to receive launch communications and updates. You may unsubscribe at any time.

5. AI PROCESSING AND THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

5.1 How AI Processing Works

Squirrel Brain's AI features are built on four AI subprocessors, each handling different content:

Your Input AI Service Used Purpose
Your voice, photos, screenshots, notes, and questions OpenAI, Inc.; Anthropic, PBC; Google LLC; xAI Corp. AI processing to power app features — transcription, reading and understanding your content, answering you, voice calls, and web search — depending on the feature you use

By using features that involve AI processing, you explicitly consent to transmission of your content to OpenAI, Inc., Anthropic, PBC, Google LLC, and/or xAI Corp. — as applicable to the feature you use, per the table above — for AI processing in accordance with their respective terms.

Your content is processed in accordance with the third-party AI services' current terms at the time of processing. We process data through these APIs and have no control over those services' internal handling beyond what their published terms provide.

5.2 Third-Party AI Terms

You are also subject to:

5.3 Other Third-Party Services

Service Provider Purpose
Cloud database Supabase, Inc. Storage of all App data
Email delivery Resend, Inc. Daily Brief and notification emails
Authentication Apple Inc. Sign in with Apple
Push notifications Apple Inc. Alarms and reminders
Calendar access Apple Inc. Event creation and Daily Brief
App Store billing Apple Inc. Subscription management
Crash reporting Functional Software, Inc. (Sentry) Crash and performance reports
Subscription status RevenueCat, Inc. Purchase and subscription status
Analytics PostHog, Inc. Usage analytics

5.4 AI Training Data

Under their current API terms, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and xAI do not use content sent through their APIs to train their models by default. For OpenAI, Acorn Labs also has a Zero Data Retention agreement: OpenAI does not store your voice or call content in its logs. Audio replies may be held for up to one hour, and OpenAI may retain content where the law requires or to investigate severe misuse of its services. This agreement covers OpenAI only. The other providers handle content under their own published terms, which may change.

We do not use your voice recordings, images, or personal notes to train our own AI models.

5.5 Force Majeure for AI Services

Core features of the App, including voice transcription, photo analysis, note structuring, and the Pip assistant, are entirely dependent on third-party AI services (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI). Outages, rate limits, API changes, or discontinuation of any of these services will disable corresponding App features. We are not liable for service degradation or unavailability caused by third-party AI service failures. See also Sections 15.3 and 24.5.

6. USER ACCOUNTS AND REGISTRATION

6.1 Account Creation

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating an account and to maintain and update that information to keep it accurate.

6.2 Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at hello@squirrelbrainapp.com if you suspect unauthorized access. We are not liable for losses arising from unauthorized use of your credentials where you have not reported suspected compromise.

6.3 Account Deletion

You may delete your account and request deletion of your personal data at any time through Settings > Account > Delete Account. Account deletion is processed within 30 days. Personal data handling upon deletion is described in our Privacy Policy.

Apple App Store Requirement. Pursuant to Apple App Store Guidelines § 5.1.1(v), in-app account deletion is available without requiring users to contact customer support. In-app account deletion is implemented at Settings > Account > Delete Account.

6.4 Sign in with Apple

Use of Sign in with Apple is governed by Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions. We receive only the information you authorize Apple to share, which may include a unique user identifier and, at your election, your email address or an Apple-relay email address.

6.5 One Account Per Person

Accounts are for individual, personal use only. You may not create accounts on behalf of others without their express authorization.

7. PERMISSIONS AND DEVICE ACCESS

7.1 Microphone Access

Required for voice capture. The App records audio only when you actively initiate a recording session by tapping the microphone button. The App does not continuously record audio in the background without your active initiation.

7.2 Camera and Photo Library Access

Required for PixNote. The App accesses your camera or photo library only when you explicitly initiate a photo capture or upload action. We do not access your photo library without your action.

7.3 Calendar Access (Read and Write)

By granting calendar access, you authorize the App to create, read, and modify events in your Apple Calendar. This is a write permission: the App can add events to your calendar. AI-generated calendar entries may contain incorrect dates, times, durations, or titles. You are responsible for reviewing, verifying, and correcting all App-created calendar entries. See Section 11.3 for limitations.

7.4 Notification Access

Required for smart alarms and reminders. Notification delivery is subject to iOS system conditions. See Section 11 for critical limitations.

7.5 Location Access (Optional)

Optional. Used to tag notes with your GPS location at time of capture and to improve AI context. Location tagging is not required for core functionality. GPS coordinates are stored in Supabase as note metadata. Previously stored location data is not automatically deleted when you revoke location permission.

7.6 Permission Changes

You may modify any permission at any time via iOS Settings > Privacy & Security. Revoking a permission disables the corresponding features. Permission revocation does not delete previously collected data associated with that permission.

8. USER CONTENT

8.1 Your Content; Ownership

"User Content" means all voice recordings, photos, images, text, notes, links, calendar data, and other content you submit through the Services. You retain full ownership of your User Content. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of your User Content to Squirrel Brain.

8.2 License to Squirrel Brain

You grant Squirrel Brain a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, sublicensable (solely to third-party service providers necessary to provide the Services) license to store, process, transmit, reproduce, and display your User Content solely as reasonably necessary to: (a) provide and operate the Services; (b) transmit content to AI processing services as described in Section 5; and (c) generate AI-structured outputs for your personal use. This license terminates when you delete your account and your content is deleted per our Privacy Policy.

8.3 Your Responsibility for Content

You represent and warrant that: (a) you have all rights, licenses, and permissions necessary to submit the content to the Services and to grant the license in Section 8.2; (b) your content does not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or other legal rights; (c) your content does not violate any applicable law or regulation; and (d) you will not submit malicious code, viruses, or harmful components.

8.4 Share Extension Content

When you use the iOS Share Extension to save content from other applications, you represent that you have the right to do so. You acknowledge that: (a) saved content may be subject to third-party intellectual property rights, including copyright; (b) content from other apps (financial, health, legal, messaging) may contain sensitive or regulated data; (c) you take responsibility for any content you save via the Share Extension and its compliance with applicable law.

8.5 Sensitive Content — Prohibited and Cautionary Uses

HIPAA / Healthcare. The App is NOT a HIPAA-compliant platform. We are not a HIPAA Business Associate. You must not use the App to store, process, or transmit Protected Health Information ("PHI") as defined under HIPAA if you are a covered entity or business associate subject to HIPAA obligations. If you are an individual (not a covered entity) who captures incidental health information for personal use, be aware that this information will be transmitted to third-party AI services and stored in our cloud database without HIPAA-grade protections.

Exercise extreme caution before capturing:

We are not responsible for consequences arising from your decision to capture, transmit, or store sensitive or regulated content through the App.

8.6 No Confidentiality of AI-Processed Content

Content transmitted to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or xAI for AI processing (see Section 5) is processed under those services' terms. We cannot guarantee confidentiality of content processed by third-party AI APIs. Do not submit content you require to remain strictly confidential.

8.7 Copyright and DMCA Policy

Our designated DMCA agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office (Registration No. DMCA-1073455). If you believe content accessible through our Services infringes your copyright, please submit a written notice to our designated DMCA agent at hello@squirrelbrainapp.com containing: (a) your signature; (b) identification of the copyrighted work; (c) identification of the allegedly infringing material; (d) your contact information; (e) a statement of good faith belief; and (f) a statement of accuracy under penalty of perjury. Upon receipt of a valid notice, we will act in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512.

Note: PixNote and Share Extension enable users to ingest images and web content that may contain copyrighted material. We process this content at your direction. You are responsible for your own copyright compliance.

9. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

9.1 Squirrel Brain IP

The App, squirrelbrainapp.com, software, source code, algorithms, AI prompt architecture, design elements, user interface, the "Pip" AI character and persona, the Squirrel Brain name and logo, and all related intellectual property are owned by or licensed to Squirrel Brain and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws.

9.2 Limited License to You

Subject to your continued compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, personal license to download, install, and use the App on Apple-branded iOS devices you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use.

9.3 Restrictions

You may not: (a) copy, modify, distribute, sell, sublicense, or transfer the App or any portion thereof; (b) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive source code from the App; (c) remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices or labels; (d) use the App or any portion thereof to develop, train, or improve a competing product or service; (e) use automated bots, scrapers, or similar tools to interact with the Services; (f) use the App for any commercial purpose without our prior written consent.

9.4 Feedback

If you provide Squirrel Brain with any feedback, suggestions, ideas, or improvement requests regarding the Services ("Feedback"), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, incorporate, modify, and commercialize that Feedback without any obligation to you. We are not obligated to act on Feedback.

9.5 AI-Generated Output Ownership

AI-structured outputs generated from your content (transcribed notes, extracted tasks, calendar events) are derived from your User Content. Ownership and use rights in AI-generated outputs are governed by applicable law and the third-party AI providers' terms. We make no representation regarding the copyright status of AI-generated outputs.

10. AI-GENERATED OUTPUT — LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMERS

10.1 AI Errors Are Expected and Inherent

AI language and vision models make mistakes. Common error types include but are not limited to: mishearing or misinterpreting words; extracting incorrect dates, times, names, or numbers; setting incorrect alarm times; missing important context; misreading handwritten text; generating plausible but inaccurate summaries; hallucinating information not present in the input; and failing to recognize ambiguous instructions.

10.2 Your Mandatory Verification Obligation

YOU ARE SOLELY AND ENTIRELY RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING AND VERIFYING ALL AI-GENERATED OUTPUTS BEFORE ACTING ON THEM. This is not an optional step.

Do not rely on AI outputs for any time-sensitive, safety-critical, or high-stakes decision without independent, human verification using a separate system. Examples requiring independent verification before reliance include, without limitation: medical appointments and medication reminders; legal deadlines, court dates, and filing deadlines; flights and travel departure times; financial deadlines, tax due dates, and payment obligations; work obligations, interviews, and business meetings; and any other matter where an error could cause harm.

10.3 Not Professional Advice

Nothing generated by the App constitutes medical, legal, financial, therapeutic, or any other form of professional advice. AI-generated notes, summaries, and reminders are organizational tools only and are not substitutes for qualified professional judgment. Consult appropriate licensed professionals for decisions in those domains.

10.4 No Warranty of Accuracy

WE MAKE NO WARRANTY WHATSOEVER — EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE — THAT AI-GENERATED OUTPUTS, INCLUDING TRANSCRIPTIONS, EXTRACTED DATES AND TIMES, STRUCTURED NOTES, CALENDAR ENTRIES, SUMMARIES, OR REMINDERS, ARE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, OR FIT FOR ANY PURPOSE. AI OUTPUTS ARE PROVIDED ENTIRELY "AS IS" FOR PERSONAL ORGANIZATION CONVENIENCE ONLY.

10.5 Your Acceptance of Risk

BY USING ANY AI-POWERED FEATURE, YOU EXPRESSLY ACCEPT ALL RISK ASSOCIATED WITH AI ERRORS, including the risk of a missed event or deadline resulting from an incorrect AI output. This acceptance of risk is a material element of the agreement between you and Squirrel Brain.

11. ALARM, NOTIFICATION, AND CALENDAR RELIABILITY

11.1 How Alarms Work

Smart alarms in Squirrel Brain are iOS local notifications and Apple Calendar events. They are generated on your device by the iOS notification system and are subject to all iOS notification system constraints and limitations. Squirrel Brain does not operate its own independent alarm hardware or guaranteed notification delivery infrastructure.

11.2 Conditions That May Silently Prevent Alarm Delivery

WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT ANY ALARM OR NOTIFICATION WILL FIRE. The following conditions, among others, may cause alarms to be silently suppressed or delayed without any warning to you:

11.3 Calendar Entry Limitations

App-created calendar events may: (a) land in an incorrect calendar if you have multiple calendars; (b) contain incorrect AI-extracted dates, times, durations, or titles; (c) be duplicated if similar input is submitted multiple times; (d) fail to create if calendar write permission is revoked; (e) conflict with existing calendar entries. YOU MUST REVIEW ALL CALENDAR ENTRIES CREATED BY THE APP PROMPTLY AFTER CREATION.

Calendar Corruption Risk. By granting write access to Apple Calendar, there is an inherent risk that AI-generated entries may interfere with existing calendar entries. While the App is designed to create new events only and not modify existing ones, AI errors or bugs could in theory affect your calendar. You should maintain backups or use a secondary calendar for App-generated events.

11.4 Mandatory Acknowledgment of Alarm Risks

BY USING THE ALARM, REMINDER, AND CALENDAR FEATURES, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT:

(a) Squirrel Brain is not a mission-critical, life-safety, or guaranteed-delivery alarm system; (b) You will independently verify all important alarms using at least one other reliable, independent method (a native iOS clock alarm, calendar, or other trusted system); (c) You will not rely solely on Squirrel Brain for any reminder or deadline where failure to receive it could cause significant personal, physical, professional, financial, medical, or legal harm; (d) Squirrel Brain is not liable for any consequences arising from alarm failures, notification suppression, silent failures caused by iOS behavior, or incorrect calendar entries, including but not limited to missed meetings, missed flights, missed medical appointments, missed medication, missed legal deadlines, or any other adverse outcome.

DO NOT rely solely on Squirrel Brain for time-sensitive reminders where failure could cause significant harm to you or others.

12. EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS

12.1 Transactional Emails

We may send account-related transactional emails including account verification, security alerts, and account deletion confirmation. These emails cannot be opted out of while you maintain an active account, as they are necessary to perform the contract.

12.2 Daily Brief Emails

If you enable the Daily Brief feature, you consent to receive: (a) morning email summaries of your tasks, notes, and calendar; (b) 4 PM task nudge emails; and (c) all-clear completion notifications. You may disable Daily Brief emails at any time in App settings or by following the unsubscribe link in any Brief email. Disabling will take effect within 48 hours of your action.

12.3 Email Delivery Limitations

We cannot guarantee email delivery. Emails may be delayed, blocked by your email provider, filtered to spam, or lost in transit. We are not liable for consequences from failed, delayed, or spam-filtered email delivery. Do not rely on Daily Brief emails as your sole reminder for time-sensitive matters.

12.4 Marketing Communications

With your consent, we may send promotional or marketing emails. You may withdraw consent and unsubscribe at any time via the unsubscribe link in any marketing email or by contacting hello@squirrelbrainapp.com.

12.5 CAN-SPAM / CASL Compliance

All commercial email communications will comply with the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act and, where applicable, Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL). Each commercial email will include a functioning unsubscribe mechanism honored within ten (10) business days.

13. SUBSCRIPTIONS AND PAYMENTS

13.1 Free to Use at Launch

Squirrel Brain is free to use at launch. You do not need a subscription to use the App. Some features have usage limits that we may change. We will give notice in the App before we start requiring payment for a feature you currently use for free.

13.2 Paid Plans (If Introduced)

We may introduce optional paid plans in the future. If we do, they will be billed through Apple App Store In-App Purchases and governed by Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/. We do not directly process payment card information. Pricing and plan details will be displayed in the App and on the App Store listing at the time of purchase.

13.3 Automatic Renewal Disclosure

IMPORTANT — SUBSCRIPTIONS AUTO-RENEW UNLESS CANCELLED. This section applies only if you buy a paid subscription.

Your subscription automatically renews at the end of each billing period (as shown when you purchase) at the then-current price, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. Renewal charges are applied through your Apple ID. The renewal charge will appear on your Apple ID account statement.

Price changes: We will provide advance notice of any price increase before it takes effect. If you do not cancel, you consent to the new price at the next renewal.

HOW TO CANCEL: Go to Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions on your iOS device. Select Squirrel Brain. Tap "Cancel Subscription." Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid billing period. You will not be charged again after cancellation, but you will retain access through the end of the current period.

Cancellation of a free trial: You must cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the free trial period to avoid being charged for the first subscription period.

This disclosure is provided pursuant to Apple App Store Guidelines and applicable consumer protection laws.

13.4 Free Trials

If a free trial is offered, the trial period and conditions will be disclosed at the time of sign-up. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, your subscription will automatically begin and you will be charged. You may not receive a separate notice that your trial is ending.

13.5 Refunds

All refund requests must be directed to Apple. Squirrel Brain does not directly process refunds for App Store purchases. To request a refund: https://support.apple.com/billing. Apple's refund policies govern. No refunds are provided for partial subscription periods, except as required by applicable law or Apple policy.

13.6 Subscription Management

You can view and manage your subscriptions at any time in your Apple ID account settings. Squirrel Brain has no ability to issue refunds, modify charges, or cancel subscriptions on your behalf — these actions must be performed through Apple.

13.7 Future Pricing

Squirrel Brain may introduce paid subscription plans or adjust pricing in the future. Any changes will be communicated with at least 30 days' notice and will not affect your current subscription period.

14. PROHIBITED CONDUCT

You agree not to use the Services for any of the following:

(a) Violating any applicable federal, state, local, or international law or regulation; (b) Transmitting or submitting illegal, harmful, threatening, harassing, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable content; (c) Capturing, recording, or processing personal information of third parties without their knowledge and consent as required by applicable law; (d) Impersonating any person or entity, or misrepresenting your affiliation with any person or entity; (e) Attempting unauthorized access to any App systems, servers, infrastructure, or other users' accounts; (f) Interfering with, disrupting, or impairing the integrity or performance of the Services; (g) Using the Services to develop, build, improve, or benchmark a competing product or service; (h) Using the Services for unauthorized commercial purposes, including resale of AI-processed outputs; (i) Submitting, uploading, or transmitting malware, viruses, Trojan horses, time bombs, or other harmful or malicious code; (j) Infringing third-party intellectual property rights through content submitted to or generated by the App; (k) Recording conversations with or involving third parties without obtaining all legally required consents.

Stat. § 934.03), Washington (RCW § 9.73.030), the United Kingdom (Investigatory Powers Act 2016), and Australia (Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979) — require the consent of all parties to a conversation before it may be recorded. You are solely responsible for determining and complying with the consent requirements of your jurisdiction and any jurisdiction in which the other parties to a conversation are located. Squirrel Brain expressly disclaims liability for your violation of wiretapping, eavesdropping, or recording consent laws; (l) Processing, storing, or transmitting Protected Health Information ("PHI") in violation of HIPAA if you are a covered entity or business associate; (m) Processing, storing, or transmitting any data in violation of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) or applicable financial privacy laws; (n) Imposing an unreasonably large or disproportionate load on our infrastructure; (o) Circumventing, disabling, or otherwise interfering with security-related features of the App or the Services; (p) Using the Services to facilitate spam, phishing, or unsolicited commercial communications.

16.7 Illinois BIPA Notice

Squirrel Brain's voice recording feature and PixNote/photo feature process audio and image input. Illinois users should be aware that the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA, 740 ILCS 14) regulates the collection, storage, and use of "biometric identifiers," which may include voiceprints and face geometry in some interpretations. See our Privacy Policy Section 14.1 for the full BIPA disclosure, including how your use of these features constitutes written consent. We do not sell biometric data.

17. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

The Services are available only to users 18 and older (Section 2.1) and are not directed to children or teens under 18. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), 15 U.S.C. § 6501 et seq., and do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13; because our minimum age is 18, this also means we do not knowingly collect personal information from any minor. If we discover that we have collected personal information from someone under 18, we will delete that information promptly. If you believe a minor has provided personal information to us, please contact us at hello@squirrelbrainapp.com.

We do not offer a parental- or guardian-consent pathway that would permit a user under 18 to access the Services in any jurisdiction, including the EEA and UK.

STATUTORY RIGHTS. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits your statutory rights as a consumer under applicable law, including rights that cannot be excluded under the laws of your jurisdiction.

APPLE WARRANTY CLAIM. In the event the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any) for the App. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App, and any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are Squirrel Brain's sole responsibility.

21. ACCOUNT TERMINATION

21.1 Termination by You

You may terminate your account at any time through Settings > Account > Delete Account > Confirm, or by contacting us at hello@squirrelbrainapp.com. Termination does not entitle you to a refund of subscription fees except as described in Section 13.5.

22. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND BINDING ARBITRATION

Applicability. This Section 22 applies only to users in the United States and such other jurisdictions where pre-dispute arbitration clauses in consumer contracts are enforceable. It does not apply to users in the European Union, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, or any jurisdiction where such clauses are prohibited or unenforceable under applicable consumer protection law. Users in those jurisdictions may bring claims in their local courts of competent jurisdiction.

22.1 Informal Resolution First (Mandatory Pre-Condition)

Before initiating any formal legal proceeding, you agree to attempt informal resolution. Contact us at hello@squirrelbrainapp.com with a written description of your claim, the relief sought, and your contact information. We will attempt to resolve the matter within 30 days. Neither party may commence formal proceedings until 60 days after the dispute notice is sent and the informal resolution period has expired without resolution.

This informal resolution requirement does not apply to claims for injunctive or emergency equitable relief, IP claims, small claims court matters, or any situation where informal resolution would be barred by applicable law.

22.2 Binding Individual Arbitration

EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 22.5, ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS, OR CONTROVERSIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES, INCLUDING THE SCOPE AND ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE, SHALL BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its then-current Consumer Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. The arbitration shall be conducted in English.

Hearing Location. Arbitration shall be conducted telephonically or via video conference unless both parties agree otherwise or the arbitrator determines an in-person hearing is necessary.

Arbitration Rules. The arbitration provider's consumer rules govern procedural aspects of arbitration. If any consumer arbitration rule conflicts with these Terms, the consumer rule shall govern.

Governing Law for Arbitration. The Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration clause.

22.3 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND SQUIRREL BRAIN EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE SHALL BE RESOLVED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. No arbitrator shall have authority to combine individual arbitrations into a class arbitration without the consent of all parties.

22.4 Costs of Arbitration

Filing fees shall be governed by the arbitration provider's consumer fee schedule. For disputes under $10,000, we will pay all arbitration provider fees and costs upon your written request, provided the claim is not frivolous. The arbitrator shall have authority to award fees and costs to a prevailing consumer as permitted by applicable law and the arbitration provider's consumer rules.

22.5 Exceptions to Arbitration (Preserved Court Rights)

Either party may seek relief in court for: (a) Claims within the jurisdiction of a small claims court in your county; (b) Emergency injunctive or temporary equitable relief to prevent irreparable harm pending arbitration; (c) Claims for injunctive relief for intellectual property infringement; (d) Claims that applicable law expressly requires to be heard in court and cannot be waived by agreement.

22.6 Opt-Out of Arbitration

You may opt out of this arbitration clause by sending written notice to hello@squirrelbrainapp.com within 30 days of the date you first accepted these Terms (or, if these Terms have been materially amended, within 30 days of the amendment's effective date). Your notice must include: (a) your full name; (b) your account email address; (c) a clear statement that you elect to opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms or your right to use the Services.

22.7 Severability of Arbitration Clause

If any portion of this Section 22 is found unenforceable, the unenforceable portion shall be severed, and the remaining provisions shall continue in effect. If the class action waiver is found unenforceable in a context where class proceedings are the only viable remedy, then the class action may proceed in court, but all other disputes shall remain subject to arbitration.

22.8 EU, UK, Australian, and Canadian Users

The arbitration clause in Sections 22.1–22.7 does NOT apply to users who are residents of: the European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, or Canada. Such users may bring claims before the competent courts in their jurisdiction of residence. EU and UK consumers may also access out-of-court dispute resolution mechanisms, including the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform (https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr) and UK Alternative Dispute Resolution schemes.

23. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE

23.1 Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee, without regard to its conflict of law principles, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs arbitration-related provisions.

23.2 Venue

For disputes not subject to arbitration, exclusive jurisdiction and venue shall be in the state and federal courts located in Knox County, Tennessee. You and Squirrel Brain each consent to personal jurisdiction of such courts.

Consumer Carve-Out. Notwithstanding Section 23.2, consumers in jurisdictions that require disputes to be heard in the consumer's local courts may bring claims in those courts.

23.3 Waiver of Jury Trial

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND SQUIRREL BRAIN EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES.

24. GENERAL PROVISIONS

24.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy https://squirrelbrainapp.com/legal/privacy-policy and any subscription order forms or additional terms applicable to specific features, constitute the entire agreement between you and Squirrel Brain with respect to the Services and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations, and representations.

24.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. If the provision cannot be modified to be enforceable, it shall be deemed severed, and the remaining provisions shall remain in effect.

24.3 Waiver

No failure or delay by Squirrel Brain in exercising any right, power, or privilege under these Terms shall constitute a waiver of that right. No single or partial exercise of any right precludes further exercise of that or any other right.

24.4 Assignment

You may not assign, transfer, or sublicense your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. Squirrel Brain may freely assign these Terms, in whole or in part, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, with notice to you.

24.5 Force Majeure

Squirrel Brain is not liable for delay or failure in performance of our obligations to the extent caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, government actions, war, civil unrest, pandemic, infrastructure failures, Internet outages, third-party service provider outages (including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Supabase, Apple, Resend, and other service providers), labor disputes, or other events beyond our reasonable control ("Force Majeure Events"). For avoidance of doubt, third-party AI service outages (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI) are Force Majeure Events that disable corresponding App features without triggering liability.

24.6 No Third-Party Beneficiaries

Except as provided in Section 24.9 (Apple) and Section 24.10 (indemnified parties), no third-party beneficiary rights are created by these Terms, and no third party may enforce any provision hereof.

24.7 Notices

Notices from us to you may be provided via in-app notification, push notification, email to your registered address, or posting to the Site. Legal notices to Squirrel Brain must be provided in writing by email to hello@squirrelbrainapp.com.

24.9 Apple-Specific Required Terms

As required by Apple's App Store Guidelines, the following terms apply to your use of the App obtained through Apple's App Store:

(a) Acknowledgment. These Terms are between you and Squirrel Brain only, and not with Apple, Inc. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. (b) Scope of License. The license granted to you is a limited, non-transferable license to use the App on any Apple-branded Products that you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service. (c) Maintenance and Support. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App. Any maintenance and support is Squirrel Brain's sole responsibility, to the extent required under applicable law or these Terms. (d) Warranty. In the event the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any) you paid for the App. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty shall be Squirrel Brain's sole responsibility. (e) Product Liability. Squirrel Brain, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession and/or use of the App, including but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation, including in connection with GDPR or CCPA. (f) Intellectual Property Claims. In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes a third party's intellectual property rights, Squirrel Brain, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such IP infringement claim. (g) Legal Compliance. You represent and warrant that: (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

24.10 EU Digital Services Act (DSA)

The EU Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065) entered into full application in February 2024. Squirrel Brain qualifies as a micro or small enterprise (under 50 employees and under €10M annual revenue) and is accordingly exempted from most DSA obligations applicable to larger intermediary services. For any DSA-related inquiries from EU authorities, contact hello@squirrelbrainapp.com.

24.11 Headings

Section headings are for convenience only and shall not affect interpretation of these Terms.

24.12 Language
