Terms of Use

Effective date: September 14, 2026
Last updated: September 14, 2026

1. About Couplio

Couplio (the "App") is a mobile application for iOS that lets two people keep a private, shared journal of their relationship: relationship events and memories, important dates, photos, comments and reactions, and saved places on a map. Some content can be shared with a connected partner and some can be kept private. Couplio is operated by Matveev Evgenii under the Gidra Apps brand ("Gidra Apps", "we", "us"). These Terms of Use (the "Terms") govern your use of the App and of the related online services we operate for it (together, the "Service").

2. Acceptance of These Terms

By creating an account or using the App you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data and forms part of the information you should read before using the Service, but it is a separate document.

These Terms are written in English; the Russian version is provided for convenience. If the two versions differ, the English version prevails, except where the law of your country requires otherwise.

3. Eligibility

Couplio is a relationship journal for couples and is not directed specifically at children. To use the App you must be able to enter into a binding agreement under the law of your country and be allowed to use a service like Couplio there. If the law of your country requires the consent of a parent or guardian for a person of your age to use the Service or to enter into these Terms, that consent must be obtained before you use the App. We do not set a single age threshold for all countries because the applicable age differs between jurisdictions.

4. Account

• To use the App you create an account with an email address and password or with Sign in with Apple.
• One person may have one account. You must provide accurate information and keep it up to date.
• You are responsible for keeping your credentials (and your Apple ID) confidential and for all activity that happens under your account. Tell us at support@gidraapps.com if you believe your account has been used without your permission.
• You can delete your account at any time directly in the App (Profile → Delete Account). See Section 14.

5. Couple and Shared Content

Couplio connects two accounts into a "pair" using an invitation mechanism in the App. When you are in a pair:

• Shared content — content you add to the shared space (for example shared events, comments and reactions, important dates, saved places, and photos attached to shared content) can be viewed by your connected partner and, depending on the feature, edited, commented on, or deleted by them.
• Private content — content you keep private is available only to you and is not shown to your partner.
• Your partner's content — your partner owns their own content in the same way you own yours. You may not use content your partner has shared with you outside the App in a way that infringes their rights or applicable law.
• Leaving or deleting — if one member leaves the pair or deletes their account, the other member's account and their own content are not deleted, and the pair may remain available to the remaining member. The removed member's own content is handled as described in the Privacy Policy.

Only invite a partner you actually want to share this space with. Once your partner has seen shared content, we cannot recall it from them.

6. User Content

6.1 Your rights

You keep all rights you have in the content you add to Couplio (text, photos, dates, places, and other material — "User Content"). We do not claim ownership of it.

6.2 Licence to us

So that the App can work, you grant Gidra Apps a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, process, back up, transmit, synchronise, and display your User Content, solely to the extent necessary to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the Service for you and, for shared content, for your connected partner. This licence lasts for as long as your User Content is stored in the Service and ends when it is deleted, except for copies that remain in provider backups for a limited time as described in the Privacy Policy. We do not use your User Content for advertising, and we do not sell it.

6.3 Your responsibilities

You are responsible for your User Content. You confirm that you have the rights needed to add it to Couplio and to share it with your partner, including in relation to other people who appear in photos or are described in your content. You must not add content that:

• is unlawful, or infringes anyone's copyright, privacy, personality, or other rights;
• is harassing, threatening, or abusive toward any person;
• contains malware or is intended to harm the Service or other users;
• is used to abuse, defraud, or manipulate the Service.

We do not routinely review User Content, but we may remove content or restrict an account where we reasonably believe these Terms or the law have been violated, or where we are required to do so.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• access or attempt to access accounts, data, or systems that you are not authorised to access;
• interfere with the operation or security of the Service, including by overloading it or bypassing access controls;
• misuse the pair or invitation mechanism, for example to connect with someone without their agreement or to gain access to another person's content;
• use bots, scrapers, or other automated means to collect data from the Service;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the extent applicable law expressly allows this despite this restriction;
• upload or distribute malware or other harmful code;
• impersonate another person or misrepresent your relationship with anyone;
• use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of anyone's intellectual property or other rights.

8. Premium Subscriptions and Free Trials

• Some features of Couplio ("Premium") are available through an auto-renewable subscription purchased in the App via Apple's App Store (StoreKit).
• Premium is currently offered as a monthly and a yearly subscription. The available plans, prices, subscription periods, and any introductory offers are shown in the App and in the App Store before you purchase.
• An introductory free trial may be offered. Free trials and other introductory offers are available only to users whom Apple determines to be eligible (typically once per subscription group). If you are not eligible, the App will not show a free trial and you will be charged from the start of the subscription.
• If a free trial is offered and you do not cancel before it ends, the subscription converts to a paid subscription and Apple charges you the displayed price.
• Premium may be extended to your connected partner according to the App's current logic, so that both members of a pair can use Premium features while one of them has an active subscription. This sharing is a feature of the App and may change; it does not create a separate subscription for your partner.
• Prices may differ by country and currency and may change for future subscription periods. Where required, you will be notified of a price change and asked to agree before it applies.

9. Billing, Cancellation and Refunds

• Payment is charged to your Apple ID account when you confirm the purchase, or at the end of a free trial.
• The subscription renews automatically for the same period unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Renewal is charged within 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• You manage and cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings (Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions) or in the App Store app. Deleting the App or your Couplio account does not by itself cancel the subscription.
• Purchases can be restored on a new device or after reinstalling by using Restore Purchases in the App, which relies on Apple's StoreKit.
• Refunds are handled by Apple in accordance with Apple's App Store policies and applicable law. Gidra Apps does not process payments and cannot issue refunds itself; to request a refund, use Apple's refund process (reportaproblem.apple.com).

10. Service Availability and Changes

We aim to keep Couplio available and reliable, but we do not promise that the Service will always be available or free of errors. The Service may be temporarily unavailable because of maintenance, updates, technical problems, or events outside our control, including changes to or outages of the Apple and Google Firebase services on which the App depends. We may add, change, or remove features of the App over time, including features that are part of Premium, while making reasonable efforts not to remove core functionality without notice. We recommend keeping your own copies of photos and other material that is important to you.

11. Intellectual Property

You own your User Content (Section 6). The App itself — including its software, design, user interface, graphics, text, the Couplio name and logo, and the Gidra Apps brand — is owned by Gidra Apps or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Third-party components included in the App (for example open-source libraries and Apple and Google SDKs) belong to their respective owners and are licensed under their own terms.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as permitted by the App Store terms, for your own personal, non-commercial use. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

12. Third-Party Services

The App is distributed through the Apple App Store and relies on Apple services (including Sign in with Apple, StoreKit, and push notifications) and on Google Firebase services (including authentication, database, file storage, analytics, and crash reporting). Your use of those services is also subject to the respective terms and policies of Apple and Google. We are not responsible for services operated by third parties.

13. Privacy

How we collect, use, share, retain, and delete personal data — including what happens to your content and your partner's content when an account is deleted — is described in our Privacy Policy at gidraapps.com/couplio/privacy. Please read it.

14. Account Deletion and Termination

14.1 By you

You may stop using the App at any time and may delete your account directly in the App via Profile → Delete Account. Deletion is irreversible. What is deleted, and what happens to your partner's account and content, is described in the Privacy Policy. Deleting your account does not cancel an active subscription — cancel it in your Apple Account settings (Section 9).

14.2 By us

We may suspend or restrict your access to the Service, or terminate your account, where we reasonably believe that you have seriously or repeatedly violated these Terms, used the Service unlawfully, or created a risk to the Service, to other users, or to us, or where we are required to do so by law. Where reasonably possible, we will tell you the reason and give you an opportunity to respond. We do not terminate accounts arbitrarily.

14.3 Effect

When your account ends, your right to use the App ends. Sections that by their nature should survive (including Sections 6.1, 11, 15, 16, and 19) continue to apply.

15. Disclaimers

Couplio is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we do not make any warranty that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, or that data stored in the Service will never be lost or corrupted, and we disclaim implied warranties that the law allows us to disclaim.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits warranties or rights that cannot be excluded or limited under the law of your country. If you are a consumer, you have statutory rights in relation to digital services that these Terms do not affect.

16. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Gidra Apps is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses, or for loss of data, loss of profit, or loss of goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use the Service, provided that this does not exclude or limit our liability for anything for which liability cannot be excluded or limited by law — including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for wilful misconduct or gross negligence, or under mandatory consumer protection law.

Where the law of your country allows liability to be limited but not excluded, our liability is limited to the extent that law permits. Nothing in this Section affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

17. Apple App Store Terms

• The App is distributed through the Apple App Store, and your download and use of the App are also subject to the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and, unless a separate licence agreement is displayed in the App Store for Couplio, to Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Standard EULA"). If these Terms conflict with the Standard EULA, the Standard EULA prevails to the extent of the conflict in relation to Apple.
• These Terms are between you and Gidra Apps only, not Apple. Apple is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the App or its content, or for providing maintenance or support for it, except as set out in Apple's own terms.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms to the extent provided in the Standard EULA, and may enforce them against you in that capacity.
• You must comply with any applicable third-party terms (for example your wireless carrier's terms) when using the App.

18. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time, for example when the App gains new features, when the services we rely on change, or when the law requires it. When we do, we will publish the updated Terms at this address and update the "Last updated" date. If a change is material, we will inform you in a reasonable way before it takes effect where the law or the nature of the change requires it — for example by a notice in the App. If you do not agree with updated Terms, you should stop using the App and may delete your account. Your continued use of the App after updated Terms take effect is governed by the updated Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

19. Governing Law and Consumer Rights

These Terms are governed by the law that applies to them under the rules of the country in which you live. If you are a consumer, you benefit from any mandatory provisions of the consumer protection law of the country in which you have your habitual residence, and nothing in these Terms deprives you of the protection afforded to you by those provisions or of your right to bring proceedings before the courts of that country where the law gives you that right.

We prefer to resolve any concern informally: please contact us first at support@gidraapps.com. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply.
