Terms
of Use.

These Terms are a contract between you and M Hardy Apps (we, us) governing your use of The Girlfriend Challenge mobile application (the App). By downloading or using the App, you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not use the App.

Our Privacy Policy is part of these Terms.

You must be at least 16 years old to use the App. The App is rated 16+ and is not intended for children. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the App only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.

If you tell us during onboarding that you are under 18, the App changes the wording it uses: appearance-comparison framing is replaced with strength, habit and grooming framing, for as long as the App is installed. The same programs remain available. The same change applies if you tell us you have never been happy with how you look.

By using the App you confirm you meet the age requirement and that the information you enter during onboarding is accurate.

The App contains five 30-day self-improvement programs. Between them they cover strength and core training, food and sleep habits, skin and grooming, how clothes fit, posture and presence, and — in one program — dating photos and profile writing. Your answers during onboarding decide which one you start, and every program contains most of these; the program you pick decides the emphasis, not the contents. Each provides:

• A daily set of three tasks, each with written method instructions and, where available, demonstration content.
• Streak and progress tracking, kept separately for each program.
• Optional progress photos, taken by you, stored on your device.
• An end-of-program Report comparing your own starting and ending inputs.

A paid subscription includes all five programs, all of them available from the day you subscribe. You can switch between them at any time from Settings, and each keeps its own days, streak and photos, so switching never costs you progress in the one you leave.

The App is a general information and motivation product. It is not medical, psychological, nutritional, dating, or professional advice. It does not evaluate, score, or rank your appearance, and it never issues a verdict on how you look.

The App has no sign-up, no login, and no password. Everything it stores lives on your device. You are responsible for the device the App is installed on, and for anything done through it.

Because there is no server copy, deleting the App or erasing your data in Settings is permanent. We cannot recover it for you, because we have never had it. Your subscription is separate and is not affected.

5.1 What you are buying

Full access to the App requires a paid subscription. The current plans are:

• Annual, 39.99 US dollars per year, with a 3-day free trial for new subscribers.
• Weekly, 9.99 US dollars per week, with no trial.

Prices are shown in your local currency inside the App at the point of purchase, and the price shown there is the one that applies. Prices may vary by territory and may change with notice.

5.2 Free trial

If you start a free trial, you will not be charged during the trial period. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the subscription begins automatically and your payment method is charged. If you switch to a different plan during a trial, the unused portion of the trial is forfeited.

5.3 Automatic renewal

Subscriptions renew automatically. Your Apple ID account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period, at the then-current price, unless you turn off automatic renewal at least 24 hours before that date.

5.4 Canceling

Manage or cancel your subscription in iOS Settings, then your name, then Subscriptions. Deleting the App does not cancel your subscription. Canceling stops future charges, and you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for.

5.5 Refunds

All purchases are processed by Apple. Refunds are handled by Apple under its own policies, not by us. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. Except where a refund is required by law, payments are non-refundable and partial periods are not prorated.

5.6 Promotional and retention offers

We may offer discounted or promotional pricing to specific groups of users, including existing or lapsed subscribers. Offers are limited, non-transferable, cannot be combined, and may be withdrawn at any time. Availability is subject to Apple's rules for promotional offers.

5.7 Your progress survives your subscription

Your completed days, streak and recorded progress are stored on your device, independently of your subscription status, and separately for each program. If your subscription lapses, that record is preserved. Access to the content, however, requires an active subscription.

You may use the App for your own personal, non-commercial use.

You may not:

• Copy, redistribute, resell, publicly display or sublicense the App's content, including the curriculum, task methods and demonstration videos.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile or attempt to extract source code, except where that restriction is void under applicable law.
• Circumvent the subscription, use a modified or jailbroken build to obtain paid content, or share credentials.
• Scrape, bulk-download, or use automated systems against the App.
• Use the App or its content to train a machine-learning model.
• Interfere with the App's operation or security.

We may suspend or terminate your access for a material breach of this section.

The App, its curriculum, task methods, demonstration videos, copy, design and trademarks are owned by M Hardy Apps or its licensors and are protected by copyright and other laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for its intended purpose while your subscription is active. Nothing else is granted.

Your content stays yours. Progress photos you take remain your property and remain on your device. We neither receive nor claim any rights in them.

The App contains physical exercise, grooming and lifestyle guidance. It is not medical advice and is no substitute for consulting a qualified healthcare professional. We are not doctors, dietitians, therapists, or trainers, and no practitioner-patient relationship is created by your use of the App.

• Consult a physician before beginning any exercise program, especially if you have or suspect a medical condition, are recovering from injury or surgery, or take medication.
• You participate at your own risk. Physical activity carries an inherent risk of injury. Stop immediately and seek medical attention if you experience pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or any other symptom of distress.
• Perform only what you can do safely. Modify or skip any task that does not suit your body or circumstances. Nothing in the App requires you to complete a task, and skipping one has no consequence beyond the streak.
• Results vary and are not guaranteed. Any before-and-after images, testimonials or statistics shown in the App or in our marketing reflect individual experiences, not a promise of outcome. We make no representation about physical, romantic, social or dating results.
• The App is not mental health care. If you are struggling with body image, disordered eating, or your mental health, please speak to a qualified professional. If you are in crisis, contact your local emergency services or a crisis line.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you assume full responsibility for any injury, loss or damage arising from following the App's guidance, and you release M Hardy Apps from claims arising out of it.

The App relies on Apple, RevenueCat and PostHog. Their services are governed by their own terms, and we are not responsible for their acts or omissions. The App may link to third-party content we do not control and do not endorse.

We may modify, suspend, add to or discontinue any part of the App, including individual programs and content. We aim to keep the App available but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. If we discontinue a paid feature you are actively paying for, we will provide a reasonable remedy such as a pro-rata refund or a comparable replacement, where required by law.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the App is provided as is and as available, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or that the App will meet your requirements or be uninterrupted or error-free.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing here limits any non-excludable statutory guarantee, including under Canadian consumer protection legislation, the Australian Consumer Law, the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015, or equivalent laws where you live.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, M Hardy Apps and its officers, employees and agents are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, goodwill, or business interruption, arising out of or related to the App, even if we were advised such damages were possible.

Our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the App is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or 50 US dollars.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.

You agree to indemnify and hold M Hardy Apps harmless from claims, damages and reasonable legal costs arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the App, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

You may stop using the App at any time. To remove your data, use Settings, then Erase all my data, or simply delete the App. To stop being billed, cancel your subscription in iOS Settings.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the App. Sections 7, 8, 11, 12, 13 and 15 survive termination. Termination does not entitle you to a refund except as required by law or Apple's policies.

These Terms do not choose a governing law or a court. The mandatory consumer laws of the country or region where you live apply, and you may bring proceedings in your local courts.

Before filing anything, please email mzhardyapps@gmail.com. Most issues are resolved in a day.

Because the App is distributed through the App Store, the following apply and prevail over any conflicting term above:

• These Terms are between you and M Hardy Apps only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
• Your license to use the App is a non-transferable license to use it on Apple-branded devices you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service.
• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App.
• If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty are our responsibility.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the App, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection or privacy law.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any third-party intellectual property infringement claim relating to the App.
• You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as terrorist supporting, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, have the right to enforce them against you.

Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us regarding the App.

Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in force.

No waiver. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.

Changes. We may update these Terms. Material changes will be notified in the App before they take effect, and continued use afterwards means acceptance.
