CommunicAI Terms of Use

Effective date: October 4th, 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Brandon Burns, a sole proprietor doing business as BurnsDev (“we,” “us,” “our”), and apply to the CommunicAI iOS app and its iMessage extension (the “App”).

Your use of the App is also governed by Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “Apple EULA”), available at https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/. These Terms add to the Apple EULA. If the two conflict, these Terms control as between you and us, except for section 17 (Apple terms), which always applies. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information.

By creating an account or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. Who can use CommunicAI

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the App. You may only pair with another adult who has agreed to these Terms with their own account.

2. Your account

You are responsible for your account and for everything that happens under it. Keep your sign-in details secure and tell us right away at brandonburnsdev@gmail.com if you think someone else has accessed your account. You may have only one account, and you may not create an account for someone else or share your account.

3. Pairing and shared content

CommunicAI connects two accounts as partners. Once you pair:

• your partner can see the information described in our Privacy Policy, including your messages, reactions, exercise answers, mood and display name;
• the shared chat and exercises belong to both of you. If either of you deletes their account, that shared history is deleted for both of you;
• either partner can unpair at any time.

Only pair with someone you know and trust. We are not responsible for what your partner does with content you share with them, including screenshots or copies made outside the App.

4. AI features

CommunicAI uses artificial intelligence (currently Google’s Gemini) to suggest rewrites of your messages. By using these features, you understand and agree that:

• Suggestions are only suggestions. AI output can be inaccurate, incomplete, inappropriate or not what you meant. Review every suggestion before you send it.
• You are responsible for what you send. A suggestion only becomes a message when you choose to send it, and you are solely responsible for every message you send, whether you wrote it, edited it, or used an AI suggestion.
• CommunicAI is not professional advice. The App, including its AI suggestions, exercises and other content, is for general informational and self-help purposes only. It is not therapy, counseling, mental-health treatment, medical advice or legal advice, and it is not a substitute for a licensed professional. Using the App does not create a therapist-client or any other professional relationship.
• CommunicAI is not for emergencies. If you or someone else is in danger, or you are experiencing abuse, contact local emergency services or a crisis line such as the National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233). Do not rely on the App in a crisis.
• No guaranteed outcome. We do not promise that the App will improve your relationship or communication, or prevent conflict or a breakup.
• Limits may change. Free accounts have a daily limit on AI rewrites, and all AI use is subject to service-wide limits. We may change these limits, or the AI provider or model we use, at any time.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the App to harass, threaten, stalk, abuse, intimidate or harm anyone, including your partner;
• send content that is illegal, sexually exploits minors, promotes violence or self-harm, or infringes anyone’s rights;
• pair with, monitor or access someone’s account without their knowledge and consent;
• try to bypass usage limits, subscription checks or security measures, or use the AI features for anything other than rewriting your own messages;
• reverse engineer, scrape, overload or interfere with the App or its servers, except as the law expressly allows;
• use the App to build a competing product or to train AI models.

6. Your content

You keep ownership of the messages, answers and other content you put into the App (“Your Content”). You give us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, process, transmit and display Your Content only as needed to operate the App for you and your partner, including sending it to our AI provider as described in our Privacy Policy. This license ends when Your Content is deleted, except for copies kept for a short time in service logs or as required by law.

You confirm that you have the right to share Your Content and that it does not violate these Terms or anyone’s rights.

7. Subscriptions

• Billing through Apple. CommunicAI Premium is sold as an auto-renewing subscription through Apple. Apple handles payment, and Apple’s terms govern billing.
• Price and auto-renewal. The price and billing period are shown in the App before you buy (currently US $9.99 per month, plus any applicable tax). Your subscription renews automatically each month at that price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can cancel anytime in your iPhone’s Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions, or from CommunicAI’s Settings screen. Canceling stops future renewals; you keep Premium until the end of the paid period.
• Refunds. Refunds are handled by Apple under Apple’s policies. We cannot issue refunds directly.
• Shared Premium. A subscription also gives Premium features to the partner you are paired with, but only while you are both paired with each other. If you unpair, your former partner loses Premium. Shared Premium is a courtesy feature and may change.
• Deleting your account does not cancel your subscription. Cancel it with Apple first.
• Changes. We may change Premium features or pricing. Apple will notify you of price increases as Apple requires.

8. Ending your use

You can stop using the App and delete your account at any time in Settings > Delete Account.

We may suspend or end your access, or remove content, if you break these Terms, if your use creates risk or legal exposure for us or others, or if we stop offering the App. Where reasonable, we will tell you first. Sections 3, 4, 6 (to the extent of content already shared), 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16 and 17 continue to apply after your account ends.

9. Third-party services

The App relies on services from Apple and Google, such as sign-in, hosting, notifications and AI. We are not responsible for those services, their availability, or their terms and privacy practices.

10. Disclaimers

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE APP, INCLUDING ALL AI SUGGESTIONS AND OTHER CONTENT, IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, NON-INFRINGEMENT AND QUIET ENJOYMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR SECURE, THAT MESSAGES OR NOTIFICATIONS WILL ALWAYS BE DELIVERED, OR THAT DATA WILL NEVER BE LOST.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

• WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, GOODWILL OR RELATIONSHIPS, OR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE APP OR THESE TERMS;
• WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCT OF ANY USER, INCLUDING YOUR PARTNER, OR FOR ANY MESSAGE YOU OR ANYONE ELSE SENDS, INCLUDING MESSAGES BASED ON AI SUGGESTIONS;
• OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO THE APP OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP AND SUBSCRIPTIONS IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) US $50.

These limits apply to every legal theory, even if we were told the damage was possible. They do not limit liability for fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or anything else that cannot be limited under applicable law. Some places do not allow certain of these limits, so they may not fully apply to you.

12. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Brandon Burns (and any business entity that later takes over the App) from any claims, losses, damages and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from Your Content, your messages, your use of the App, or your violation of these Terms or anyone’s rights.

13. Disputes between users

Disagreements between you and your partner, or between you and any other user, are yours to resolve. We have no obligation to get involved, and you release us from claims arising from those disputes. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Before filing any claim, you agree to contact us at brandonburnsdev@gmail.com and try to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. Any claim that is not resolved will be brought only in the state or federal courts located in Orange County, California, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction, except that either of us may bring an individual claim in small claims court. If you live in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you keep any protections and the right to bring claims in your home country that your local law gives you.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. We will post the new version at this page and update the effective date, and if a change is significant we will tell you in the App before it takes effect. If you keep using the App after the change takes effect, you accept the updated Terms.

16. General

These Terms, the Apple EULA and our Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the App. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not transfer these Terms without our consent; we may transfer them, for example to a business entity that takes over the App.

17. Apple terms

If you got the App from Apple’s App Store, these terms also apply, and they control over anything else in these Terms:

• These Terms are between you and us only, not Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the App and its content.
• Your license to use the App is limited to a non-transferable license to use it on Apple-branded products you own or control, as allowed by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
• Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the App.
• If the App fails to conform to any warranty that applies, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price you paid for the App, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses caused by any failure to conform to a warranty are our responsibility, to the extent they are not disclaimed in these Terms.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the App or your use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection, privacy or similar laws.
• If a third party claims that the App or your use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for investigating, defending, settling and discharging that claim.
• You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• You must comply with any third-party terms that apply when you use the App, such as your wireless carrier’s terms.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. Once you accept these Terms, Apple has the right (and is deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.

Questions, complaints or claims about the App should be sent to us at the contact details below.
