Terms of Use

What Sidelit is

Sidelit is an app that surfaces alternative perspectives on situations you describe. It is a thinking tool, not a therapeutic or clinical service. The perspectives it provides are not advice, diagnoses, treatment plans, or professional recommendations of any kind.

Who can use Sidelit

Sidelit is available to users 16 and older. By using Sidelit, you confirm that you are at least 16 years of age. Use of Sidelit is permitted for personal, non-commercial purposes only.

Permitted use

You may use Sidelit to:

• Explore perspectives on situations in your personal life
• Think through decisions, relationships, and interpersonal dynamics
• Build your own capacity for perspective-taking over time

Prohibited use

You may not use Sidelit to:

• Attempt to elicit medical, legal, or financial advice
• Submit content that describes plans to harm yourself or others
• Use the service on behalf of or to build products for third parties without written permission
• Circumvent rate limits, session limits, or access controls
• Reverse engineer, scrape, or systematically extract content from the service
• Misrepresent Sidelit's output as professional therapeutic or clinical guidance

Your content

You own the content you submit. By using Sidelit, you grant Focovi LLC a limited, non-exclusive licence to process your content solely to deliver the service: generating perspectives, maintaining session context, and improving the product in aggregated, non-identifying ways. We do not use your content to train AI models.

Subscriptions and billing

Pro subscriptions are billed at $2.99 per month through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Billing is handled entirely by Apple or Google; Focovi LLC does not store payment card data. Refund requests are subject to Apple's and Google's refund policies. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled before the renewal date.

Top-up packs (10 sessions for $0.99) are consumable in-app purchases. They expire at the weekly reset, midnight Sunday in your local timezone, and do not roll over.

No guarantees

Sidelit is provided as-is. We do not guarantee that the perspectives it provides will be helpful, accurate, or suitable for your situation. Outcomes vary. The service is not a substitute for professional judgment.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Focovi LLC is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of Sidelit, including decisions made based on content the app generates.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via in-app notice and posted on this page. Continued use of Sidelit after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
