Terms of Service for Summer Ledger

Last Updated: October 7, 2026

Welcome to Summer Ledger ("the Service", "we", "us", "our"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Summer Ledger website and our native mobile applications for iOS and Android. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. Please read them carefully. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

  • Adults Only: Summer Ledger is designed for recording intimate and sexual-health information and is intended solely for adults. You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher) to create an account or use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement.
  • Compliance: You represent that you are not barred from using the Service under the laws of your jurisdiction and that your use will comply with all applicable laws.

2. Account Registration and Security

  • Accurate Information: You agree to provide accurate and complete information when you create your account and to keep this information up-to-date.
  • Sign-In Methods: You may register and sign in using an email and password, a passkey, or a supported third-party provider (Sign in with Apple or Google). If you sign in with a third-party provider, your use of that provider is also subject to its own terms.
  • Account Credentials: You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, including your password, your separate Gallery Code, and any passkeys you register. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account. You agree not to share your password or Gallery Code with others.
  • Security: We use industry-standard measures to protect your account, but no service can guarantee absolute security. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

3. User Content

  • Ownership: You retain full ownership of all the content you create and upload to the Service, including notes, partner details, health records, photos, videos, and any other data ("User Content").
  • License to Us: By using the Service, you grant Summer Ledger a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, modify (e.g., for display purposes), and process your User Content for the purpose of operating, providing, and improving the Service. We do not use your User Content to train artificial-intelligence models or to develop unrelated products or services. Any use of data to improve the Service is limited to aggregated or de-identified information that does not identify you or reveal your journal content.
  • Responsibility: You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of storing or uploading it. You affirm that you have the necessary rights to the content you upload and that it does not violate any laws or third-party rights. In particular, you must have the consent required under applicable law to record information about other identifiable people.
  • Prohibited Content: You agree not to upload any content that is illegal, including any sexual content involving minors, non-consensual intimate imagery, content that is defamatory or hateful, or content that infringes intellectual-property rights. We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to remove any User Content and to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

4. Service Usage and Features

  • Acceptable Use: You agree not to misuse the Service. This includes, but is not limited to, attempting to gain unauthorized access to our systems, interfering with the Service's operation, or using the Service for any illegal purpose.
  • AI-Powered Features: The Service offers optional features that use third-party AI providers, including Cloudflare Workers AI (for voice-memo transcription) and Google Gemini (for encounter summaries, the "Ledger Companion" chat, AI voice calls, AI-assisted import, adding partners with AI from a description or screenshot, and recap stories). These features are off until you turn them on, and you can turn them off at any time in Settings. By turning them on and using them, you consent to the relevant User Content — which may include audio, notes, location names, profile details, and, where you invoke it, health records — being sent to these providers for processing. On the Plus and Pro plans, if automatic summaries are on, one is written each time you save an encounter with notes; you can switch this off in Settings. When you ask the Ledger Companion to remember something, it adds it to your Companion memory, which you can edit in Settings. The AI voice-call feature streams your live microphone audio to the provider for the duration of the call. AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate; you should not rely on it as a statement of fact, and we do not guarantee its accuracy, availability, or suitability.
  • Usage Limits: AI features are subject to fair-use limits (shown in the app as "sparks") and monthly limits on summaries and voice notes that depend on your plan. We may adjust these limits, and we may throttle, suspend, or modify AI features to manage cost, abuse, or availability.
  • Storage Quotas: The Service provides a specific amount of storage for your media files. You will be notified of these limits within the application. We reserve the right to restrict uploads if you exceed your quota. Photos and videos of partners in Recently deleted count toward your storage until they are permanently deleted.
  • Data Backup and Restore: The Service provides tools to back up and restore your data. You are encouraged to create regular backups. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or corruption of your User Content.
  • Recently Deleted: Partners and encounters you delete are kept in Recently deleted for 30 days, where you can restore them. After 30 days, or when you choose to delete them forever, they and their media are permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. Individual photos, videos, and health records are deleted immediately.

5. Subscriptions and Billing

  • Paid Plans: Some features require a paid subscription. The features, price, and billing period of each plan are shown at the point of purchase.
  • Billing Provider: Subscriptions purchased on the website are billed through our payment processor, Stripe. Subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play are billed by, and managed through, that platform under its own terms, and we do not receive or store your payment card details.
  • Automatic Renewal: Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current price until you cancel. You authorize us or the applicable platform to charge the renewal to your payment method.
  • Plan Changes: If you upgrade from Plus to Pro on the website, the prorated difference for the rest of your current billing period is charged right away to your payment method on file, and Pro renews at its own price after that. Plan changes for App Store or Google Play subscriptions are handled by that platform.
  • Cancellation: You may cancel at any time. For App Store or Google Play purchases, manage or cancel your subscription in your device's account settings; for web purchases, use the billing portal in your account settings. Cancellation stops future renewals; you retain access until the end of the current paid period.
  • Refunds: Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable. Refund requests for purchases made through the Apple App Store or Google Play are handled by, and subject to the policies of, that platform. For web purchases, contact us.
  • Price Changes: We may change subscription prices. We will give you advance notice of any price change, and it will take effect on your next billing period. Your continued use after the change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the new price.

6. Not Medical Advice

Summer Ledger is a personal journaling and record-keeping tool. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Any health-related information you record or receive through the Service (including AI-generated summaries) is for your personal reference only and is not a substitute for professional medical care. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider regarding your health, testing, or treatment, and never disregard or delay seeking professional advice because of something you read in the Service.

7. Termination

  • By You: You may terminate this agreement at any time by using the "Delete Account" feature in your account settings. This action is irreversible and will permanently delete all of your User Content from our databases and storage, including anything in Recently deleted. Deleting your account does not automatically cancel a subscription billed through the App Store or Google Play; cancel that separately in your device's account settings.
  • By Us: We may suspend or terminate your account at our discretion if you violate these Terms of Service or use the Service in a way that risks harm to others, to us, or to the Service.

8. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SUMMER LEDGER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM (I) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE; (II) ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE OF OUR SERVERS AND/OR ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION STORED THEREIN; OR (III) ANY AI-GENERATED CONTENT.

  • Informal Resolution First: Before starting a formal proceeding, you agree to contact us at [email protected] and give us 30 days to resolve the dispute informally.
  • Binding Arbitration: Except as provided below, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. The arbitrator's decision may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
  • Class-Action and Jury Waiver: You and Summer Ledger agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. You and Summer Ledger waive any right to a jury trial.
  • Exceptions: Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect its intellectual property or stop unauthorized access to the Service.
  • 30-Day Opt-Out: You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing us at [email protected] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name and intent to opt out. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.
  • Governing Law: These Terms and any dispute are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Where a dispute proceeds in court despite the above, it will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Minnesota, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
