Draft for the private pilot — placeholders in brackets must be completed before launch.

US terms of use

Last updated September 29, 2026. These terms are for members who live in the United States. If you live in the United Kingdom, our UK terms apply instead.

These terms are an agreement between you and [TRADING NAME] (“DadMode,” “we,” “us”). They apply when you use DadMode, including the coach in Telegram, the dashboard and the website. Please read them with our US privacy notice. By starting a membership or using DadMode, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use DadMode.

1. Who we are

DadMode is provided by [TRADING NAME] ([COMPANY NUMBER IF ANY]), [REGISTERED ADDRESS]. Contact us at [CONTACT EMAIL].

2. Who can use DadMode

You must be at least 18 years old, and old enough to enter a binding contract where you live, and you must live in the United States. DadMode is not for children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. During the private pilot you also need a valid invite. You need your own Telegram account, and using Telegram is subject to Telegram’s own terms. You are responsible for keeping your Telegram account, dashboard login, health import key and any personal access tokens secure.

3. What DadMode is, and what it is not

DadMode is an AI coach that gives general fitness and nutrition guidance, adapted to what you tell it about your goals, schedule and circumstances. It can also track challenges, keep a log of your meals and workouts, and send the reminders you ask for.

DadMode is not medical care. It does not give medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. It is not a doctor, physical therapist, registered dietitian, nutritionist licensed in your state, or mental health professional, and using it does not create a doctor–patient or any other professional relationship. DadMode is not a medical device, and it has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Do not use DadMode:

• if you have, or think you may have, an eating disorder;
• for exercise or nutrition during pregnancy or after giving birth;
• to manage an acute injury, or a medical condition or medication that needs a clinician’s advice; or
• for anything urgent.

In an emergency, call 911. If you are thinking about suicide or are in emotional distress, call or text 988 (the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), any time. Talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise or diet program, especially if you have a health condition, take medication or have any doubts.

4. AI limitations and your judgment

DadMode’s replies are written by AI. They can be wrong, incomplete, out of date or unsuitable for you, and the coach can misunderstand what you tell it, including voice notes, photos and documents. Nutrition values are estimates, and food database results can be wrong. Readings from wearables are device estimates, not clinical measurements. Challenge totals and your data log are only as accurate as what the coach understood, so check them.

Use your own judgment. You decide whether a suggestion suits your health, ability and circumstances. Stop exercising and get help if you feel pain, dizziness, chest discomfort, shortness of breath or anything that feels unsafe.

An automated safety check may stop the coach answering some topics and point you to other help instead. This is deliberate.

Exercise has risks. Physical activity and changes to how you eat can lead to injury or illness. You choose what you do, how hard you push and when to stop, and you take on those risks to the extent the law allows.

5. The private pilot

DadMode is a paid membership. Some members are not charged: a few founding pilot members who use their own OpenAI API key, and members we give a complimentary membership. We will tell you if either applies to you, and we will give you notice before it changes. The pilot is an early version of the service, so features may change, stop working or be removed, and the service may be unavailable at times. We may change or end the pilot at any time. We will try to give you notice in Telegram, and you can download your data from the dashboard before it ends.

6. Membership, automatic renewal and cancellation

The key terms, before you sign up: DadMode costs [US PRICE] per month, plus any applicable sales tax. New members may get a 7-day free trial, once per person. Unless you cancel, your membership renews automatically every month and we charge the payment method you gave us at the start of each monthly period until you cancel. If you have a free trial, the first charge is made when the trial ends. There is no minimum term. You can cancel any time online, as explained below.

• Your consent: before you pay, we show you these key terms: in Telegram, where we send your checkout link, and on the checkout page, next to the button you use to subscribe. That means the price, that you are charged every month, that the membership renews automatically until you cancel, any free trial and when your first charge is made, how to cancel, and a link to these terms. You agree to them by checking the box and confirming. We take your membership through our payment provider, Stripe. Card details go straight to Stripe.
• Confirmation: when your membership starts, we send you a message in Telegram that you can keep. It sets out the price, any free trial and when your first charge is made, that the membership renews automatically until you cancel, how to cancel and when access ends after you do, and a link to these terms.
• Free trial: coaching starts right away. If you cancel before the trial ends, you are not charged. About three days before your free trial ends, we remind you in Telegram that your first charge is coming, how much it is, the date it is made, and how to cancel.
• Reminders: while your membership continues, we remind you at least once a year (and more often where the law of your state requires) what you are paying, how often, and how to cancel.
• How to cancel: send /billing in Telegram, open the secure Stripe billing portal and choose cancel. It takes a few taps, and you do not have to talk to anyone or give a reason. You can also email [CONTACT EMAIL] with the word “cancel”. We confirm the cancellation in Telegram, saying what was canceled and when your access ends. Deleting your account (section 12) also cancels immediately.
• When cancellation takes effect: at the end of your current monthly period (or at the end of the free trial). You keep access until then, and you are not charged again.
• Refunds: [LAWYER DECISION — US REFUND POLICY] If you cancel within 14 days of your first charge, email us and we will refund that charge. Otherwise, charges already made are not refundable except where the law requires or where we choose to give a refund. We do not refund part of a month when you cancel.
• Price changes: we will tell you at least 30 days before a price change takes effect, and the new price applies from the next monthly period after that. If you do not want to pay it, you can cancel before then.
• Tester discount codes: a tester discount code may reduce the price. The discount lasts as stated at checkout; after that, the normal price applies unless we tell you otherwise.
• Failed payments: if a charge fails, coaching may be paused until it is paid. We do not charge late fees.

7. Acceptable use

You must not:

• share your pilot invite code, or let anyone else use your account;
• abuse, harass or threaten anyone, or use DadMode for anything unlawful or harmful;
• try to get at other users’ data, the system instructions or anything you are not meant to access;
• try to get around the safety checks, usage limits or security controls, including by hiding instructions in messages, documents or images;
• overload, disrupt, scrape, reverse engineer or resell the service; or
• upload content you do not have the right to share, or content that is illegal or sexually explicit.

Fair use limits apply to AI usage, documents and images each day. If you reach one, the coach tells you and it resets the next day.

8. Your content

You own what you send to DadMode. You give us a limited permission to store, process and send it to our service providers as far as we need to run and improve the service, as described in our US privacy notice. This permission ends when your content is deleted, except for approved general coaching lessons, which contain no personal information.

Health information you share is sensitive. We collect and use it only with your consent and only to coach you, and you can withdraw consent at any time. Our US privacy notice explains how.

9. Our content

DadMode, including its name, logo, website, software and coaching materials, belongs to us or our licensors. You can use the coaching you receive for your own personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not copy or reuse the service itself. Images on our website are illustrations, some made with AI, not photographs of members.

10. Other services

DadMode runs through services we do not control: Telegram delivers the coach, Stripe takes payments, Google or Telegram signs you in to the dashboard, and apps such as Health Auto Export can send us your health readings. Their own terms and privacy policies apply to your use of them. We are not responsible for their availability or for what they do with data under their own terms. If you connect your own apps with a personal access token, you choose what they can see.

11. Feedback

If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them to improve DadMode without owing you anything. We will not identify you publicly without your permission.

12. Suspending or ending your access

You can stop using DadMode at any time and delete your data from the dashboard or with /delete_me confirm in Telegram. Deleting your data also cancels any subscription immediately, with no further charges, and deletes your customer record at Stripe. If we cannot reach Stripe to cancel it, nothing is deleted and you can try again.

We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms, if we need to for safety, security or legal reasons, or if we close the service. If you tell the coach you are under 18, coaching is blocked immediately; contact us and we will cancel and refund any subscription. Unless there is a serious breach or an urgent reason, we will give you reasonable notice. If we end a paid subscription for a reason other than your breach, we will refund any charge for the period you have not received.

13. Disclaimers

We work hard to make DadMode useful and safe, but to the fullest extent the law allows, DadMode is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not promise that it will be uninterrupted, error-free or right for your particular goals, or that any particular result will follow from using it, and we disclaim implied warranties such as merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Some states do not allow these disclaimers, so some of them may not apply to you, and you may have other rights that vary from state to state.

14. Limit on our liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data or goodwill, arising from your use of DadMode. Our total liability to you for all claims about DadMode is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the event that caused the claim, or US$100. These limits do not apply to liability that the law does not allow us to limit, such as liability for our gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, or for death or personal injury caused by our negligence where that cannot be limited. Some states do not allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

15. Your responsibility to us

If you break these terms or the law while using DadMode, and someone makes a claim against us because of it, you are responsible for the reasonable costs of that claim, to the extent the law allows. This does not apply to claims caused by our own fault.

16. Resolving disputes

Talk to us first. If you have a problem, email [CONTACT EMAIL] with a short description and what you would like us to do. We will try to resolve it within 30 days. You or we can still bring a claim in small claims court at any time if it qualifies.

Courts. If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, it will be decided in the state or federal courts of [GOVERNING LAW — LAWYER DECISION], unless the law of the state where you live gives you the right to bring it in your local courts.

[LAWYER DECISION — OPTIONAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS-ACTION WAIVER] The paragraph below is an option for review, not a default. Delete it if DadMode does not adopt arbitration. If kept, it needs an opt-out process, fee terms, a named arbitration provider and rules, and a mass-arbitration clause.

Optional arbitration and class-action waiver. You and we agree to resolve any dispute about DadMode by binding individual arbitration, not in court, except for small claims and claims to stop misuse of intellectual property. Arbitration is run by [ARBITRATION PROVIDER AND RULES] and we pay the filing and arbitrator fees above what you would pay to file in court. You and we each give up the right to a jury trial and to take part in a class or representative action. You can opt out of this paragraph within 30 days of first agreeing to these terms by emailing [CONTACT EMAIL] with your name and the words “arbitration opt-out.”

17. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of [GOVERNING LAW — LAWYER DECISION], without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and by the Federal Arbitration Act if the arbitration paragraph above applies. Nothing in these terms takes away any protection you have under the consumer protection law of the state where you live.

18. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms, for example to reflect changes to the service or the law. We will tell you about important changes in Telegram or the dashboard before they take effect, and change the date at the top. If you have a subscription and do not accept a change that affects you, you can cancel before it takes effect. A change to the dispute terms never applies to a dispute we already knew about.

19. California residents

Under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, California users are entitled to the following consumer rights notice: you can reach the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.

20. Other important terms

• These terms and the documents they mention are the whole agreement between you and us about DadMode.
• We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organization, for example if the business is sold. We will tell you, and it will not reduce your rights. You may not transfer your membership to someone else.
• If a court decides part of these terms cannot be enforced, the rest still applies.
• If we do not enforce a term right away, we can still enforce it later.
• We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events outside our reasonable control, such as an outage at Telegram or our hosting provider.
