By downloading, installing, accessing, or using iubi ("the App"), you ("User", "you") agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"). If you do not agree to all of these Terms, do not download, install, or use the App. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and the developer ("Developer", "we", "us").

2. Description of Service

iubi is a private voice-messaging and partner-connection application for couples, close friends, and family members. Core features include push-to-talk voice messages with background recording (recording continues while the screen is locked), shared location between paired users, memory cards, photo sharing, and lock-screen widgets and Live Activities. iubi is a peer-to-peer communication tool and is not a broadcast, dating, or social-networking platform.

3. AI-Generated Software Disclaimer

• The source code, client application, server infrastructure, database schemas, native widget extensions, user interface, and all technical components of this App were generated, in whole or in part, by artificial intelligence systems.
• The Developer does not warrant that AI-generated code is free from errors, bugs, security vulnerabilities, logical flaws, or unintended behaviors.
• You expressly assume all risk associated with using software that has been substantially generated by artificial intelligence to record, transmit, store, and play back your private voice communications and location data.
• No AI provider, including but not limited to Anthropic (maker of Claude), OpenAI, Google, or any other AI service provider, bears any responsibility, liability, or obligation whatsoever in connection with this App, its functionality, its failures, or any damages arising from its use.
• The AI-generated nature of this software may result in unpredictable behavior, data handling issues, or security considerations that differ from traditionally developed software. This is particularly relevant for audio recording, background recording, location sharing, and message delivery features.

• Indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages

• Service interruptions, downtime, or server unavailability
• Data breaches, unauthorized access, or security incidents
• Actions, omissions, or failures of third-party services (including Supabase, Expo, Apple, Google, Railway, and any push-notification or authentication provider)
• Device incompatibility, performance issues, battery consumption, or data-plan usage
• Emotional distress, relationship harm, or any interpersonal consequence arising from the delivery, non-delivery, misreading, or misinterpretation of messages or shared data
