1. Agreement to Terms

By downloading, installing, or using the Fold application ("the App," "Fold," or "the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use Fold independently. Children under 13 may use Fold as members of a household managed by a parent or legal guardian. By using the App, you represent that you meet these requirements.

4. Accounts & Authentication

Fold uses Firebase Authentication to manage user accounts. You can sign in using one of the following methods:

• Sign in with Apple: Uses your Apple ID to authenticate. Apple provides a unique identifier and, optionally, your email address. Your Apple ID password is never shared with Fold or Firebase.
• Google Sign-In: Uses your Google account to authenticate. Google provides your email address, display name, and a unique identifier. Your Google password is never shared with Fold.

You are responsible for:

• Maintaining the security of the account used to sign in (your Apple ID or Google account)
• All activity that occurs through Fold under your authenticated account
• Notifying us if you believe your Fold account has been compromised

Fold does not create, manage, or have access to your Apple ID or Google account credentials. Authentication is handled entirely by Apple and Google respectively.

5. Subscriptions & Billing

5.1 Subscription Plans

Fold Pro is available through the following auto-renewable subscription plans:

Plan	Price	Free Trial
Weekly	$0.99 USD/week	3 days
Monthly	$2.99 USD/month	3 days
Yearly	$24.99 USD/year	3 days

Prices may vary by country and are displayed in your local currency in the App Store. Prices are subject to change; existing subscribers will be notified before any price change takes effect.

5.2 Free Trial

New subscribers are eligible for a 3-day free trial. During the trial period, you have full access to all Pro features. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, your subscription will automatically begin and you will be charged the applicable subscription fee.

5.3 Billing

• Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at the confirmation of purchase (or at the end of the free trial)
• Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period
• Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period at the same rate
• Any unused portion of a free trial period is forfeited when you purchase a subscription

5.4 Managing & Canceling Subscriptions

You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time through:

• iPhone: Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions
• App Store > Account > Subscriptions

Canceling a subscription stops future billing but does not provide a refund for the current period. You will retain Pro access until the end of the current billing period. After expiration, Pro features will be locked but your local data will be preserved.

5.5 Refunds

All purchases are processed by Apple. Refund requests must be submitted to Apple directly through reportaproblem.apple.com. We cannot process refunds.

6. User Content & Data

6.1 Ownership

You retain full ownership of all content you create in Fold, including but not limited to: calendar events, tasks, grocery lists, recipes, messages, journal entries, notes, and trip expenses. We claim no ownership over your content.

6.2 Household Sharing

When you share a household with others (Pro feature):

• Household sharing is facilitated through Firebase Firestore using an invite code system
• The household owner generates an invite code that other members use to join
• All household members can view, create, edit, and delete shared content (events, tasks, grocery items, messages, etc.)
• The household owner can invite and remove members
• Any member can leave a household at any time
• Deleting a household removes shared access and data from Firebase Firestore for all members
• We are not responsible for content created, modified, or deleted by other household members

6.3 Data Storage

Free users: All data is stored locally on your device using Core Data. We do not have access to, cannot view, and do not store your data on any server.

Pro users: Data is stored locally on your device using Core Data and synced to Firebase Firestore (hosted on Google Cloud) for household sharing. Firebase Firestore data is subject to Google's Privacy Policy. For complete details on how your data is handled, see our Privacy Policy.
