Terms of Service
Last updated May 28, 2026
Agreement
By installing or using the Guth app (“Guth,” “Service”) you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, don’t use Guth. Guth is published by Antonio Manuel Moniz (“Company,” “we,” “us”). Contact: hello@getguth.com.
Eligibility
You must be 17 or older to use Guth. If you are under 17, do not install or use Guth.
What Guth is
- Helps you set and enforce Screen Time limits on your own device via Apple’s Family Controls framework.
- Generates AI conversational responses from Guth and a constellation of specialists.
- Optionally schedules walks, calendar events, reminders, and other on-device actions.
AI disclaimer
Guth and the specialists are AI-generated personas. Their replies are not professional advice.
- Not medical or mental-health advice. If you are in crisis, contact emergency services or 988 (US Suicide & Crisis Lifeline).
- Not legal advice.
- Not financial advice.
- Not a substitute for licensed clinicians, attorneys, accountants, or other professionals.
You should not rely on Guth for decisions with material consequences without consulting a licensed professional.
Safety routing
Some conversations may trigger safety routing — for example, a specialist may respond with a crisis hotline number (988 in the US) and pause the conversation. This is intentional. We do not screen your messages for content beyond this safety routing.
Your conduct
You agree not to:
- Use Guth to harm yourself or others.
- Use Guth to harass any person.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract our system prompts.
- Use Guth’s content to train competing AI models.
- Circumvent rate limits or paywalls.
Family Controls
Guth uses Apple’s Family Controls framework to enforce Screen Time limits on your own device. You authorize this voluntarily and may revoke it at any time via iOS Settings → Screen Time. We do not manage anyone else’s device. Guth is for individual use, not parental supervision of another person.
Subscriptions and purchases
- Pro is a recurring subscription processed by Apple via in-app purchase. The price is disclosed at purchase and auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the renewal date via your Apple ID Subscriptions.
- Refunds are handled by Apple per the App Store refund policy; we do not process refunds directly.
- Cancelling stops future billing but does not delete your data.
- Some on-device features may be unlocked via one-time purchases (“bubbles”) — permanent unlocks tied to your Apple ID.
Intellectual property
- You own the messages you write in chat.
- We own the Guth name, mascot, voice, specialist names, and the app’s code and design.
- You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to process your chat messages through our backend and OpenAI for the purpose of generating AI responses.
Third-party services
Guth’s cloud AI features depend on OpenAI and Supabase. Their terms apply to that processing. We are not liable for outages, errors, or content moderation actions by these services.
Disclaimer of warranties
Guth is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. We do not warrant that Guth will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, that AI responses will be accurate or appropriate, or that Guth will achieve any specific outcome.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising from your use of Guth is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months prior to the claim, or $50, whichever is less. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages.
Dispute resolution
Disputes will be resolved by binding individual arbitration. You waive any right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action. You may opt out of this arbitration provision by emailing hello@getguth.com within 30 days of first installing the app, with the subject “Arbitration Opt-Out.”
Termination
We may terminate your access at any time for any reason, including violation of these Terms. You may stop using Guth at any time.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which the Company is established, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.
Changes
We may update these Terms. Material changes will be notified in-app before they take effect. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
