Terms of Service
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are an agreement between you and Stint Labs LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“Stint”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). They govern your use of the Stint application (on the web, iOS, and any other platform where we offer it), as well as this website (stinthq.com) and the private-beta waitlist (together, the “Service”). By using any part of the Service or creating an account, you accept these Terms; if you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
Our Privacy Policy describes how we handle information on this website and the waitlist; the application shows its own privacy policy inside the product, which governs data handled there.
1. What Stint is, and what it is not
Stint is a personal planning application with an AI coach: it helps you set goals and focus periods (“stints”), plan your days, track habits and tasks, reflect, and talk through your plans with an AI assistant that can propose changes for you to approve.
Stint is a planning tool, not a professional service. It does not provide medical care, mental-health treatment, therapy, diagnosis, financial advice, legal advice, or any other licensed professional service, and nothing in the Service (including anything the AI coach says) should be treated as such. Wellness features (for example, logging weight, sleep, or exercise habits) are for personal tracking only; Stint is not a medical device. Always consult a qualified professional for decisions about your health, finances, or legal affairs.
If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself or others, do not use Stint to seek help. In the United States, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 911; outside the U.S., contact your local emergency number or crisis line.
2. AI-generated content
The coach's replies, the daily brief, suggested priorities, and similar content are generated by artificial intelligence. AI output can be wrong (incomplete, outdated, or mistaken) even when it sounds confident. You are responsible for evaluating it before you rely on it. Stint is designed so the AI does not change your data on its own: changes it proposes take effect only when you approve them, and you can review, edit, or delete what it produces.
3. Who may use Stint
You must be at least 13 years old to use the application, and at least 16 to use this website. If you are under 18, you may use the application only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf. You must be at least 18 (or the age of majority where you live) to join the beta waitlist or to purchase a subscription. By using the Service you represent that you meet these requirements and that any information you provide is accurate and your own.
4. Your account
You need an account to use the application. Keep your credentials confidential: you are responsible for activity under your account. Tell us promptly at support@stinthq.com if you believe your account has been compromised. You may delete your account at any time in the app's settings; deletion is scheduled and then performed server-side as described in the application privacy policy.
5. The beta and the waitlist
Stint is in active development. The private beta is limited in size and offered at our sole discretion. Signing up reserves your place in line. It does not guarantee a seat, a start date, or that the beta or the product will include any particular feature. We may change, pause, or end the beta program at any time. Joining the waitlist is free, requires no payment method, and creates no obligation for you to purchase anything.
6. Subscriptions, trials, and billing
Parts of the Service require a paid subscription. The plans, prices, and billing periods available to you are shown at the point of purchase.
- Free trial. New subscriptions may include a free trial (currently seven days). We do not require a payment method to start a trial; you are charged only if you subscribe.
- Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current price for your plan, until you cancel.
- Cancelling. You can cancel at any time: in the app or, for purchases made through Apple, in your App Store subscription settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep access until then. Except where the law requires otherwise, payments already made are not refunded when you cancel.
- Purchases through Apple. If you subscribed through the App Store, billing, renewal, cancellation, and refunds are handled by Apple under Apple's terms; refund requests for those purchases go to Apple.
- Purchases from us directly. Web purchases are processed by our payment provider (Stripe). We do not see or store your full card details.
- Price changes. If we change the price of your plan, we will give you advance notice, and the change applies no earlier than your next renewal. If you keep the subscription after the notice period, the new price applies; if not, cancel before renewal.
- Founding and promotional rates. If we grant you access as a founding member, the founding rate communicated to you at or before the time billing begins applies for as long as you keep your subscription continuously active, as described in the offer and confirmed in your access email.
7. Early access and fair use
Some features (or the whole Service, during a beta period) may be offered as early access: they can change, break, or be withdrawn without notice, and are provided without any commitment that they will become generally available. We may set reasonable usage limits (for example, fair-use limits on AI conversations) to keep the Service reliable and sustainable, and will show you in the product where such limits apply.
8. Communications
By creating an account or joining the waitlist, you agree that we may email you about your access, your account, and meaningful product updates. You may unsubscribe from non-essential email at any time using the link in any email; unsubscribing does not affect your place in line or your account.
9. Your content
“Your Content” means what you put into Stint: tasks, goals, habits, journal entries, gratitude, chat messages, and anything else you create or upload. It is yours. We claim no ownership of it.
So that we can run the Service, you grant us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, process, transmit, display, and back up Your Content, solely to provide, secure, and improve the Service for you. This includes sending relevant parts of Your Content to the AI providers that power the coach (for example, Anthropic) to generate your briefs and replies. We do not sell Your Content, we do not use it for advertising, and we do not use it to train AI models. The license ends when the content is deleted, subject to a short period for backups to cycle out.
You are responsible for Your Content: do not store anything in Stint that you do not have the right to store, and keep your own copies of anything irreplaceable.
10. Connected services
You can optionally connect third-party services (for example, Google Calendar) to bring your data into Stint. Connections are yours to grant and revoke: disconnecting in the app deletes our stored tokens for that service. Your use of a connected service remains governed by that service's own terms, and we are not responsible for third-party services. Data received from Google APIs is used and transferred in accordance with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
11. Acceptable use
When using the Service, you agree that you will not:
- Use the Service to violate any law or regulation, or to harm, harass, defraud, or impersonate anyone;
- Submit anyone's information other than your own, sign up by automated means, or attempt to reserve beta seats in bulk;
- Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service, circumvent any security, authentication, or rate-limiting measure, or access accounts or data that are not yours;
- Interfere with the operation of the Service, including scraping at scale, harvesting information about other users or visitors, flooding, or transmitting malicious code;
- Copy, resell, or provide the Service to others as your own offering, or reverse engineer it except where the law permits despite this restriction;
- Use the Service to build a competing dataset or to develop or train a competing AI system; or
- Attempt to manipulate the AI coach into producing content that violates these Terms, or present AI output as the advice of a licensed professional.
We may investigate violations, decline or remove abusive waitlist entries, and take appropriate action, including suspension or termination under Section 16.
12. Our intellectual property; feedback
The Service, including its software, design, text, graphics, product screenshots, logos, and the Stint name and marks, belongs to Stint Labs LLC and its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service as intended by these Terms. No other rights are granted; you may not use our name or marks without our prior written permission.
If you send us ideas, suggestions, or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use them for any purpose, including improving and marketing Stint, without any obligation or compensation to you. We will never publicly attribute feedback to you by name without your permission.
13. Third-party services and links
The Service may link to or rely on services we do not control (for example, our hosting, payment, AI, and email providers). We are not responsible for the content or practices of third-party sites or services, and a link does not imply our endorsement.
14. Apple App Store terms
When you use the iOS app, the following also applies:
- These Terms are between you and Stint only, not Apple. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
- In the event of any failure of the app to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price of the app (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app.
- Apple is not responsible for addressing claims relating to the app (including product-liability, regulatory, or intellectual-property claims), which are governed by these Terms.
- You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo or designated a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any U.S. government restricted-parties list.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms with respect to the iOS app and may enforce them against you.
15. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE (INCLUDING THE APPLICATION, THIS SITE, THE WAITLIST, AND ANY BETA ACCESS) IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT AI OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE.
Sections 1 and 2 are part of these disclaimers: Stint is a planning and coaching tool, not a medical, mental-health, financial, or legal service, and its content should not be used as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
16. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service, and where practicable we will give you notice and a chance to export your data first. If we discontinue the Service (not for your breach) while you have an active paid period purchased from us directly, we will refund the unused portion pro-rata. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including 9, 12, 15, 17, 18, and 19) survive.
17. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (a) NEITHER STINT NOR ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, OR SUPPLIERS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OPPORTUNITY, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; AND (b) STINT'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100) OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you; in that case, liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
18. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Stint Labs LLC and its members, managers, and agents from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your violation of these Terms, your misuse of the Service, or Your Content. We will notify you of any such claim and may participate in its defense with our own counsel.
19. Disputes: talk to us first, then arbitration
Informal resolution first. Before filing any claim, you agree to email legal@stinthq.com with a description of the dispute and give us thirty (30) days to work it out with you. Most issues are fixable this way.
Arbitration. If we cannot resolve it informally, you and Stint agree that 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 under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court for infringement or misuse of intellectual property. The arbitration will be conducted in English, remotely or in a mutually convenient location, and the AAA's consumer fee schedule applies.
Class-action waiver. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis: neither you nor Stint may participate in a class, consolidated, or representative action. If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) proceeds in court.
Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement entirely by emailing legal@stinthq.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name, account email, and that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.
Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, USA (where Stint Labs LLC is organized), without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. For anything not subject to arbitration, you and Stint consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Virginia.
20. Changes to the Service or these Terms
We are building quickly: features will evolve, and we may modify or discontinue parts of the Service at any time. We may also update these Terms. If a change is material, we will give you reasonable advance notice (in the app, by email, or on this page) before it takes effect, and the “last updated” date above will change. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms; if you do not accept them, stop using the Service and cancel any subscription before your next renewal.
21. General
These Terms are the entire agreement between you and Stint regarding the Service and supersede prior agreements on that subject. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remain in effect, and the provision is enforced to the maximum extent permitted. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with notice to you. Except as stated in Section 14 (Apple), there are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms. The Service is operated from the United States, and we make no representation that it is appropriate or available elsewhere.
