Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and SimpleLM ("we," "us," or "our") governing your use of the SimpleLM mobile application for iOS and related pages at simplelm.co (together, the "Service").

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using SimpleLM, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle information. It is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

Who we are

SimpleLM publishes this app and the pages at simplelm.co.

For questions about these Terms, contact us at legal@simplelm.co.

We will add a full legal entity name and mailing address in this section and in App Store Connect as required by Apple.

What SimpleLM is

SimpleLM is a personal AI assistant that runs primarily on your iPhone or iPad. You can chat with the assistant, attach documents to projects, use optional voice and vision features, and optionally sync encrypted data across your own Apple devices through iCloud.

SimpleLM is licensed to you. It is not sold. We may update, modify, suspend, or discontinue parts of the Service at any time, including features available on the free or Pro tiers.

Eligibility

You must be at least thirteen years old to use SimpleLM. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the Service only with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.

By using the Service, you represent that you meet these requirements and that you have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement.

No SimpleLM account

SimpleLM does not require you to create an account with SimpleLM. There is no email and password registration, no SimpleLM-hosted identity, and no Sign in with Apple flow for a SimpleLM account.

Local preferences you enter in the app (such as a display name or assistant personality settings) are not a SimpleLM account. Closing or deleting app data does not involve closing a SimpleLM account because none exists.

License to use the app

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use SimpleLM on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, and only as permitted by Apple's App Store Usage Rules and these Terms.

You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or create derivative works of the Service except where applicable law expressly allows you to do so.

You may not rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, or sublicense SimpleLM.

You may not use the Service to build a competing product or service, to scrape or harvest data from the app in bulk, or to interfere with the Service's operation or security.

If you sell or give away a device on which SimpleLM is installed, you should remove the app and your data from that device first.

Free tier and SimpleLM Pro

SimpleLM offers a free tier and an optional paid subscription called SimpleLM Pro.

Free tier includes, among other things: unlimited chats subject to a per-conversation context limit, a limited number of projects and documents, and on-device document search features available without a Pro subscription.

SimpleLM Pro includes, among other things: unlimited context per conversation, unlimited projects and documents, voice and vision features, optional iCloud Sync across your Apple devices, and full import of conversation exports from other assistants.

Feature limits, names, and availability may change. The app and App Store product page describe what is included at the time of purchase or use. If a free feature becomes Pro-only or a limit changes, we will not retroactively charge you for past free use, but continued use may require Pro where limits apply.

Document search and reasoning features that are available on the free tier remain available on the free tier unless we say otherwise in an updated version of these Terms or in the app.

Subscriptions, billing, and refunds

SimpleLM Pro is sold as an auto-renewing subscription through Apple's In-App Purchase system. Available plans include monthly and yearly options. The exact title, length, and price of each plan are shown in the app at the time you subscribe.

Payment. Apple is the merchant of record for in-app purchases. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. We do not receive your payment card number or full billing details.

Auto-renewal. Subscriptions automatically renew unless you cancel at least twenty-four hours before the end of the current billing period. Your Apple ID will be charged for renewal within twenty-four hours prior to the end of the current period unless you cancel earlier.

Free trials and introductory offers. If we offer a free trial or promotional price, the app will describe the duration and what happens when the offer ends. When a trial converts to a paid subscription, Apple will charge your Apple ID unless you cancel before the trial ends. Previous subscribers may not be eligible for the same introductory offer again.

Manage or cancel. You can manage or cancel a subscription at any time through iOS Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions, or through Apple's subscription management page at https://apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You keep Pro access until that period ends.

Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription. Removing SimpleLM from your device or deleting local data does not stop billing. You must cancel through Apple.

Restore purchases. If you reinstall SimpleLM or use a new device signed into the same Apple ID, you may restore Pro entitlements through the restore option in the app, subject to Apple's records.

Refunds. Refund requests are handled by Apple under Apple's policies. We do not process direct refunds for App Store purchases except where applicable law requires otherwise.

Price changes. We may change subscription prices or offer new plans. Apple will notify you of price changes affecting your subscription where required, and you may accept the new price or cancel before it takes effect.

Acceptable use

You agree to use SimpleLM lawfully and responsibly.

You may not use the Service to violate any law or regulation, infringe anyone's intellectual property or privacy rights, harass or threaten others, or distribute malware or harmful code.

You may not attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other users' data, or our systems. Because SimpleLM stores data locally, "other users' data" primarily means data on a device you do not own or control.

You may not use the assistant to generate content for illegal purposes, including fraud, violence, exploitation of minors, or circumvention of safety or legal obligations.

You may not misrepresent AI-generated output as human-written where that misrepresentation would be deceptive or harmful in context.

You may not overload, abuse, or resell access to the Service in a way that harms us or other users.

We may suspend or terminate your license to use the Service if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, though because there is no account with us, enforcement is limited to your license to use the app and any remedies available at law.

Your content

Ownership. You retain ownership of the content you create, upload, or store through SimpleLM, including chat messages, project documents, photos, and imported conversation exports.

License to SimpleLM. You grant SimpleLM a limited license to process your content solely as needed to operate the Service on your device (and, if you enable iCloud Sync, to encrypt and sync that content through your Apple iCloud account as described in our Privacy Policy). We do not claim ownership of your chats or documents. We do not use your content to train public models.

Responsibility. You are responsible for your content and for ensuring you have the right to import, store, and use materials you add to SimpleLM, including documents and exports from other services.

No obligation to monitor. We do not operate a hosted platform that stores readable copies of your chats. We do not pre-screen your local content. You are responsible for backups and for what you choose to store or sync.

Imported conversations. If you use Bring Your Chats to import exports from ChatGPT, Claude, or other providers, you represent that you have the right to possess and import that export and that your use complies with the terms of the service from which it came.

Artificial intelligence features

SimpleLM uses on-device artificial intelligence to generate responses, analyze documents you provide, transcribe speech, describe images, and perform similar tasks.

No professional advice. Output from SimpleLM is for general informational purposes only. It is not medical, legal, financial, tax, mental health, or other professional advice. Do not rely on the assistant as a substitute for a qualified professional. Do not make important decisions based solely on AI output without independent verification.

Accuracy. AI output may be wrong, incomplete, outdated, offensive, or inappropriate. You are responsible for reviewing output before you use or share it.

No guarantee of uniqueness. Similar or identical output may be produced for different users or sessions. Output is not confidential as against other users in any general sense, though your local data remains on your device unless you choose to sync it.

High-risk uses. Do not use SimpleLM for emergency services, life-critical systems, or situations where errors could cause death, personal injury, or severe financial harm.

Your judgment. You remain responsible for how you use the Service and any consequences that follow.

Voice, vision, and device permissions

Some features require permission to use your microphone or speech recognition. You may deny permissions in iOS Settings, but the related features will not work without them.

Voice features may use Apple's speech recognition services, which may process audio on Apple's servers when on-device recognition is unavailable. That processing is governed by Apple's terms and privacy policy, not ours.

iCloud Sync

If you subscribe to Pro and enable iCloud Sync, encrypted copies of selected data are stored in your personal iCloud account. Sync is optional and can be turned off in Settings.

You are responsible for your Apple ID, iCloud storage, and compliance with Apple's terms. We cannot access readable copies of your synced data on our own servers.

Deleting local app data, turning off sync, or uninstalling the app does not necessarily remove all data already stored in iCloud. See our Privacy Policy for deletion steps.

Privacy

Our Privacy Policy describes what information the app handles, how it is stored, and how you can delete it. By using SimpleLM, you acknowledge that you have read the Privacy Policy.

The Privacy Policy and these Terms must be read together. If there is a direct conflict about data handling, the Privacy Policy controls for privacy matters. These Terms control for use of the Service, billing, and liability.

Maintenance and support

We are responsible for providing support and maintenance for SimpleLM as described in these Terms or as required by applicable law.

Apple has no support obligation. You and we acknowledge that Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support services for SimpleLM.

For help, contact legal@simplelm.co or use feedback options linked in the app where available.

Apple App Store terms

If you downloaded SimpleLM from the Apple App Store, the following additional terms apply. They are required by Apple for apps distributed through the App Store and are part of your agreement with SimpleLM.

Agreement with SimpleLM, not Apple. These Terms are between you and SimpleLM only, not Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the app and its content. These Terms may not conflict with Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions or Usage Rules.

Scope of license. Your license to use SimpleLM is limited to use on Apple-branded products you own or control, under Apple's Usage Rules, including use through Family Sharing or volume purchasing where applicable.

Maintenance and support. As stated above, we are solely responsible for maintenance and support. Apple has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support for the app.

Warranty. We are solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent they are not effectively disclaimed in these Terms. If SimpleLM fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price paid for the app to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to SimpleLM, and any other claims or losses relating to failure to conform to warranty are our sole responsibility.

Product claims. We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to SimpleLM or your possession or use of the app, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and claims under consumer protection, privacy, or similar laws.

Intellectual property infringement. In the event of a third party claim that SimpleLM or your possession or use of the app infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, will be solely responsible for investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of that claim, subject to applicable law.

Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as terrorist-supporting, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

Developer contact. Questions, complaints, or claims regarding SimpleLM should be directed to legal@simplelm.co and the mailing address published in App Store Connect and on simplelm.co.

Third party terms. Your use of SimpleLM must comply with applicable third party terms, including your agreement with your wireless data provider and Apple's iCloud, App Store, and speech recognition terms when you use those features.

Apple as third party beneficiary. You and SimpleLM acknowledge and agree that Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third party beneficiaries of these Terms. Upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right to enforce these Terms against you as a third party beneficiary.

Nothing in this section limits your statutory rights as a consumer where applicable law does not allow such limits.

Third party services and links

SimpleLM integrates with Apple services such as the App Store, in-app purchases, iCloud, speech recognition, and system pickers for photos and files. Your use of those services is subject to Apple's agreements and policies.

The app may link to our website, Apple's subscription management pages, or other external pages. We are not responsible for third party sites or services you choose to visit.

Open source and embedded software components included in SimpleLM are used under their respective licenses. They run locally and are not used to transmit your content to their authors for inference.

Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

SIMPLELM DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT SIMPLELM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT AI OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR RELIABLE.

Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of implied warranties. In those jurisdictions, the above exclusions apply only to the extent permitted by law.

Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SIMPLELM AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE EXTENT LIABILITY CANNOT BE EXCLUDED, SIMPLELM'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR SIMPLELM PRO IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS (USD $50).

Because SimpleLM processes data locally and we do not store readable copies of your chats on our servers, some types of data loss or harm may be outside our control once data is on your device or in your iCloud account.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct where such exclusion is prohibited.

If you are a consumer in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or Türkiye, you may have rights that cannot be waived by contract. In that case, this section applies only to the extent permitted by the mandatory laws of your country of residence.

Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SimpleLM and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your content, your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third party rights.

Termination

You may stop using SimpleLM at any time by uninstalling the app and, if applicable, canceling your Pro subscription through Apple.

We may terminate or suspend your license to use the Service if you materially breach these Terms or if we discontinue the app, subject to applicable law.

Upon termination, your license ends. Sections that by their nature should survive (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law, and Apple App Store terms) will survive.

Termination does not entitle you to a refund except through Apple's refund processes where available.

Changes to the Service and these Terms

We may update SimpleLM and these Terms from time to time.

When we make material changes to these Terms, we will post the updated version at /terms and update the "Last updated" date. For significant changes, we may also notify you through the app or App Store release notes where appropriate.

Your continued use of SimpleLM after updated Terms take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and cancel any active subscription through Apple.

Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where SimpleLM is established, excluding conflict-of-law rules, except where mandatory consumer protection laws in your country of residence require otherwise.

Before filing a formal claim, you agree to contact us at legal@simplelm.co and try to resolve the dispute informally in good faith.

If informal resolution fails, disputes will be resolved in the courts of competent jurisdiction where SimpleLM is established, unless mandatory consumer law in your country requires disputes to be heard in your home jurisdiction.

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

We will publish the chosen governing law and venue in this section before App Store release.

General

Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and SimpleLM regarding the Service, except for Apple's role as described in the Apple App Store terms section.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with notice where required by law.

Language. These Terms are written in English. Translated versions may be provided for convenience. If a translated version conflicts with the English version, the English version controls to the extent permitted by law.

Export control. You agree to comply with applicable export control and sanctions laws.
