Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of the Chatlas iOS app and its related support and legal website. They are intended to protect your privacy, clarify subscription terms, and encourage responsible use of exported conversation data.

1. Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Ryan Bijoy, the developer and operator of Chatlas (“Chatlas,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By downloading, accessing, purchasing, or using the Chatlas iOS app or related website (together, the “Services”), you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

If you use the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms. You must be at least 13 years old, and at least the minimum age required to use the Services in your country.

2. What Chatlas does

Chatlas lets you import supported exported chat histories and generate local statistics, charts, comparisons, and evidence-based conversation insights. Import and analysis are performed on your device. Features, supported export formats, and availability may change over time.

Chatlas is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by WhatsApp, Instagram, Meta, Snapchat, Snap Inc., OpenAI, or Apple. Third-party names and marks belong to their respective owners.

3. Your responsibility for imported data

Conversation exports can contain highly private information about you and other people. You are solely responsible for the files you choose to import and for your use of the resulting analysis. You represent and agree that:

  • you own the export or have all permissions and lawful authority needed to possess and process it;
  • your use respects applicable privacy, confidentiality, intellectual property, and data-protection laws, as well as any relevant platform rules;
  • you will not use Chatlas to stalk, harass, discriminate against, exploit, or harm another person; and
  • you will keep exports and your device secure and will not send private chat data to support unless specifically requested through a secure method.

4. Analysis limitations

Chatlas’s outputs are automated summaries of patterns found in the imported data. They may be incomplete, inaccurate, or affected by missing messages, ambiguous timestamps, export formatting, participant selection, or other limitations. Outputs do not establish anyone’s feelings, intent, attraction, honesty, mental state, or likely future behavior.

Chatlas is provided for personal informational and entertainment purposes. It is not medical, mental-health, legal, financial, relationship, safety, or other professional advice. Do not use it as the sole basis for significant personal, employment, credit, housing, legal, health, or safety decisions.

5. Subscriptions, billing, and cancellation

Chatlas may offer auto-renewing weekly and annual subscriptions that unlock Pro features. The exact product name, billing period, price, currency, and included features are shown in the app before purchase. Prices may vary by storefront and may change as permitted by Apple and applicable law.

  • Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase.
  • A subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it through your Apple ID subscription settings before the end of the current billing period.
  • Deleting Chatlas does not cancel a subscription. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple ID settings.
  • You can use “Restore Purchase” in the app to restore an eligible purchase linked to your App Store account.
  • Apple processes payments, cancellations, and refund requests. Refund eligibility is governed by Apple’s policies and applicable law.

Subscription validation is provided through RevenueCat. See our Privacy Policy for details about purchase information.

6. Limited license and acceptable use

Subject to these Terms and the applicable App Store terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use Chatlas on Apple devices that you own or control for personal, lawful purposes. You may not:

  • copy, sell, rent, sublicense, distribute, or commercially exploit the Services;
  • reverse engineer, decompile, bypass, or interfere with security, purchase checks, access restrictions, or technical limits, except where law expressly permits it;
  • use the Services to violate law, another person’s rights, or a third-party service’s terms;
  • introduce malicious code or attempt unauthorized access to the Services; or
  • misrepresent Chatlas outputs as verified facts or professional conclusions.

7. Ownership

You retain any rights you have in the files and information you import. These Terms do not grant us ownership of your conversation data. Chatlas and its software, design, branding, and original content are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

8. Third-party services

The Services interact with or depend on third parties, including Apple’s App Store, RevenueCat, your email provider, and website infrastructure providers. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and policies. We are not responsible for third-party services, export formats, outages, or policy changes outside our control.

9. Updates, availability, and termination

We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue features to improve Chatlas, address security or legal requirements, or respond to third-party platform changes. We do not promise that every feature or export format will always be available. Where reasonably required, we will honor applicable consumer rights for paid services.

You may stop using Chatlas at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you materially violate these Terms, misuse the Services, or create legal or security risk. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will remain effective.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Services are 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, non-infringement, accuracy, reliability, or uninterrupted availability. Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits, goodwill, relationships, or opportunities arising from the Services. Our total liability for claims relating to the Services will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid for Chatlas during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim or US $50. These limits do not apply where prohibited by law, including liability that cannot be limited under applicable consumer-protection law.

12. Additional Apple terms

If you obtained Chatlas through Apple’s App Store, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for Chatlas. To the extent required by applicable law or App Store terms, Apple may handle refunds, and Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms with the right to enforce the applicable provisions against you. Your use must also comply with the Apple Standard End User License Agreement and applicable App Store rules.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws that apply to your use of the Services, without limiting mandatory consumer protections available where you live. Any dispute will be brought in a court with lawful jurisdiction unless applicable law provides another forum or process. Before filing a formal claim, please contact us and allow a reasonable opportunity to resolve the issue informally.

14. General terms

If a provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain 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 as part of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to applicable law. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and applicable App Store terms form the entire agreement concerning the Services.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms as the Services or legal requirements change. We will update the “Last updated” date and provide additional notice for material changes where reasonably required. Continued use after updated Terms take effect means you accept them, except where applicable law requires another form of consent.
