Undivided Terms of Use

Effective: October 6, 2026 Updated: October 6, 2026. Added clauses on credits and the Safe Score, the Family plan, copyright notices, force majeure, and assignment.

August 14, 2026: Clarified the Free, Undivided Plus, account, and cloud-backup boundary. Drive detection and credit earning remain free.

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and the developer of Undivided ("Undivided", "we", "us"). By downloading, accessing, or using the Undivided app or the Undivided website at focusvault.link (including its support request form), you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app or the website. References to "the app" in these Terms include the website unless stated otherwise.

1. The service

Undivided is a focus, activity, and drive-time companion app. It includes focus timers, activity tracking, a distraction shield, driving-focus features, and audio content (news-style podcast episodes, briefings, stories, book discussions, and text-to-speech reading), much of which is generated by artificial intelligence. You must be at least 13 years old to use Undivided.

Your data and your backup. Undivided works offline and keeps your data on your phone. If you have Undivided Plus and sign in with an Undivided account, the app also backs up seven things and nothing else to our server so they can follow you to a new phone: your activities, your focus sessions, your app settings, your badges, your Collection progress, your flower arrangements (including the recipient nickname and card message you typed yourself), and your drive summaries (never coordinates, routes, or any map of where you went). This backup runs automatically: on opening and leaving the app, and shortly after a drive or focus session ends, so you are never required to trigger it yourself. Your listening history and anything you add for reading aloud stay on your phone and are never backed up. Free and guest use backs up nothing at all. Deleting your account in the app erases the backup from our server. See the Privacy Policy for the full detail.

2. Driving safety, your sole responsibility

Read this section carefully. It is the most important one.

• Undivided's drive audio is designed to reduce reasons to handle the phone. It does not eliminate distraction and is not a safety system. The intended way to use it is by voice and by audio, with the phone put away.
• We discourage looking at Undivided, or any app, while driving. No screen, feature, or button in this app is an invitation to look at or handle your phone while a vehicle is moving.
• Due to hardware limitations, we cannot control how you use your phone. A phone cannot reliably determine who is driving, cannot prevent a driver from touching it, and cannot control personal behavior. Undivided's detection, reminders, and phone-down design are conveniences, not safety systems, and they can be wrong, delayed, or unavailable.
• Operating the app while driving is solely your responsibility. You are always solely responsible for safe operation of your vehicle, for keeping your attention on the road, and for complying with all traffic laws and all laws on device use while driving in your jurisdiction.
• If any interaction with the app requires looking at or touching your phone, do it only while safely parked.
• Assumption of risk. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you assume all risk arising from your decision to use a phone in or around a vehicle, and we are not liable for any compensation, accident, injury, death, fine, citation, or property damage arising from or related to use of the app while driving or in a vehicle.

3. AI-generated content

• Audio episodes, briefings, summaries, stories, coaching notes, and similar content in Undivided are generated by AI. AI content can be incomplete, outdated, or wrong.
• All content is provided for general information and entertainment only. It is not professional advice of any kind, including financial, investment, medical, health, or legal advice. Do not make decisions based on it without verifying with a qualified source.
• News-style episodes are AI-written summaries based on headlines and descriptions published by third-party outlets, with attribution shown in the app. Undivided is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any news outlet, publisher, or author referenced in the app.

4. Content you submit (Listen to Anything and uploads)

When you submit a link, article, document, or other content for summarization or read-aloud:

• You confirm that you have lawful access to that content and the right to use it this way, and that your use is personal and non-commercial.
• You are solely responsible for the content you submit. We process it transiently to produce your summary or audio and do not store it, share it, or use it to train models.
• We may refuse or stop processing any submission at our discretion.

5. Third-party content and links

The app shows links to third-party websites (for example, source links for news stories). If you follow a link, you leave Undivided and the third party's own terms and policies apply. We are not responsible or liable for third-party websites, apps, or content, or for anything that results from you clicking through to them. Links are provided for attribution and convenience only, and should be opened only while safely parked, never while driving.

6. Subscriptions and purchases

• Undivided Plus features are sold as auto-renewing subscriptions through Apple. Price and term are shown in the app before purchase.
• Payment is charged to your Apple account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel in your Apple ID subscription settings.
• Purchases, billing, and refunds are handled by Apple under Apple's terms. We never see your payment details.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to: use the app for any unlawful purpose; attempt to disrupt, overload, reverse engineer, or gain unauthorized access to the app or its servers; resell or redistribute app content; or use the app's audio or summaries to build a competing content service.

8. Intellectual property

The app, its design, and content we generate are owned by us or our licensors. We grant you a personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app for personal, non-commercial purposes. If you send us feedback, we may use it without obligation to you.

9. Copyright notices

If you believe content available through Undivided infringes your copyright, email a notice to support@focusvault.link. The notice must include the elements required by 17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3): your physical or electronic signature; identification of the copyrighted work; identification of the material you believe infringes and where it appears; your name, address, telephone number, and email address; a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner. We review all such notices and will remove or disable access to infringing content where appropriate. We may end access to features that read links you provide, such as Listen to Anything, for users who repeatedly infringe.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

The app is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, non-infringement, accuracy, or uninterrupted availability. Features that depend on device sensors, Apple services, or network connectivity (including drive detection and audio generation) may fail, be delayed, or be unavailable. Exports and drive records (including drive summaries and mileage figures) are approximate, are attested by you rather than verified by the app, are provided for informational purposes only, and are not warranted as fit for tax, reimbursement, or legal purposes.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to the app, however caused, even if advised of the possibility.
• Without limiting Section 2, we are not liable for any harm, loss, or damage arising from use of the app while driving, from reliance on app content, or from third-party content or websites reached through the app.
• Our total liability for all claims relating to the app is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us through the app in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) fifty US dollars ($50).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from content you submit, your violation of these Terms, your violation of law (including traffic and device use laws), or your misuse of the app.

13. Disputes, arbitration, and class action waiver

• Informal resolution first. Before filing a claim, contact us using the contact details below and give us 30 days to try to resolve the issue.
• Binding arbitration. Any dispute arising out of these Terms or the app that is not resolved informally will be settled 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.
• Class action waiver. Disputes will be resolved only on an individual basis. You and we each waive any right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or representative proceeding.
• Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by contacting us through the contact details below within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name and that you opt out of arbitration.
• These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any claim not subject to arbitration must be brought in the state or federal courts located in Texas, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

14. Apple-specific terms

Because the app is distributed through Apple's App Store:

• These Terms are between you and us only, not with Apple. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance, support, warranty, or refunds for the app beyond what Apple's own terms require, and is not responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the app, including product liability claims, consumer protection claims, and claims that the app infringes intellectual property rights.
• You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a US government embargo or designated a "terrorist supporting" country, and are not on any US government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. Apart from Apple and its subsidiaries as stated in this section, these Terms create no other third-party beneficiaries; no one who receives an export or record you share gains any rights under these Terms.
• Our contact for questions, complaints, and support is the contact details below.

15. Termination

You can stop using the app and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for violation of these Terms. Sections 2, 3, 5, and 8 through 14 survive termination.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. Changes are posted on the website with a new effective date, and material changes are also noted in the app. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

17. General

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. These Terms and the privacy policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the app.

18. Credits, Safe Score and earned days

Credits, earned free days of Undivided Plus, and Collection pieces are virtual items. They have no cash value, are not transferable, and cannot be redeemed for money or anything outside the app. We may change, reset, or discontinue them. The Safe Score measures this phone only. It is not a safety, insurance, or legal assessment of anyone.

19. Family plan

The Family plan is purchased through Apple Family Sharing. Each family member needs their own Undivided account and must be 13 or older. The purchaser manages the subscription with Apple. We may change Family plan terms with notice.

20. Force majeure

We are not responsible for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including outages at Apple or our service providers, network failures, natural disasters, or government action.

21. Assignment

We may assign or transfer these Terms. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms.
