By accessing or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not access or use the App.
1. Ownership and Intellectual Property
All content on the App—including text, graphics, images, sound, illustrations, and software—is either my exclusive property or used with permission from the respective content owners. The App’s content is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any rights to use any intellectual property owned by me or third parties except as expressly set forth herein.
2. License to Use the App
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, I grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the App for your personal, non-commercial purposes. I reserve the right to modify or revoke this license at any time.
2.1. Resource Usage
You agree not to use the App in any manner that excessively consumes system resources or otherwise degrades the performance or availability of the App for other users. I may implement technical measures to prevent or mitigate excessive resource usage.
3. Age Restriction
Due to the sensitive nature of some of the content, the App is intended solely for individuals who are 18 years of age or older. By accessing or using the App, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old.
4. Registration and Account Security
Registration is optional; however, some features require the creation of an account. When you register, you must provide accurate information, verify your email address, and create a secure password. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. Alternatively, you may use social login (e.g., via Google) to access the App. Even if you use the App without registration, some features may remain inaccessible.
5. Prohibited Uses
You agree not to use the App or its content for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these Terms. In particular, you shall not:
- Engage in illegal activities: Use the App for any activities that violate local, state, national, or international law.

Failure to adhere to these guidelines may lead to warnings, temporary suspension, or permanent banning from the App.
7. Maintenance and Availability
I may, at my discretion, schedule maintenance or experience downtime for technical reasons. I will endeavor to provide reasonable notice when possible, but I do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access to the App.
8. Charges, Payment, and Subscription
8.1. Charges and Support Options
The MentalJourney App is free to use. However, if you choose to support the platform and access an ad-free experience, you may subscribe for $10 per month. The revenue from subscriptions is allocated as follows:
- Platform Fees: 30% is retained by Apple or Google Play as platform fees.
- Revenue Allocation:
- If you select a Church: 70% of the remaining amount is forwarded to your chosen Church, and 30% supports MentalJourney’s operational costs and future upgrades.
- If you do not select a Church: 100% of the remaining 70% is applied to sustaining and improving the App.
- MentalJourney absorbs all bank transfer fees for international church support, reducing the actual revenue received.
8.2. Subscription & Cancellation
Subscriptions auto-renew on a monthly basis unless canceled. You may cancel your subscription at any time via your App Store or Google Play settings. Upon cancellation, premium features will remain available until the end of your current billing cycle.
