We are Squires Studios, LLC ("Company," "we," "us," "our"), a company registered in California, United States.
We operate the website https://www.squiresstudios.com (the "Site"), the mobile application Couples Therapy (the "App"), as well as any other related products and services that refer or link to these legal terms (the "Legal Terms") (collectively, the "Services").
Couples Therapy is a mobile app designed to help serious couples strengthen their bond and improve communication through interactions with an AI therapist trained on relationship science and couples therapy practices.
You can contact us by email at info@squiresstudios.com. A mailing address is available on request.
These Legal Terms constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity ("you"), and Squires Studios, LLC, concerning your access to and use of the Services. You agree that by accessing the Services, you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by all of these Legal Terms. If you do not agree with all of these Legal Terms, then you are expressly prohibited from using the Services and you must discontinue use immediately.
Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on the Services from time to time are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to these Legal Terms from time to time. We will alert you about any changes by updating the "Last updated" date of these Legal Terms. It is your responsibility to periodically review these Legal Terms to stay informed of updates. You will be subject to, and will be deemed to have been made aware of and to have accepted, the changes in any revised Legal Terms by your continued use of the Services after the date such revised Legal Terms are posted.
We recommend that you print a copy of these Legal Terms for your records.
The Services consist of a mobile application that provides:
The information provided when using the Services is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws.
The Services are not tailored to comply with industry-specific regulations (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), etc.), so if your interactions would be subjected to such laws, you may not use the Services. You may not use the Services in a way that would violate the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).
The Services are not a healthcare service, telehealth service, or licensed mental health practice. See Section 2.
Please read this section carefully. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree to the following.
The Services are a self-help, educational, and wellness tool. They are not a substitute for:
The AI therapist within the App is an artificial intelligence system designed to provide supportive, evidence-informed conversation. It is not a human therapist, has not been licensed to provide therapy in any jurisdiction, cannot make clinical diagnoses, cannot prescribe medication, and does not establish a therapist–client relationship with you under any law.
If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, abuse, or any emergency, do not use the Services for help. Instead, contact one of the following:
International users should contact their local emergency services and crisis resources.
Your use of the Services does not create a therapist–client, doctor–patient, attorney–client, or any other professional relationship between you and Squires Studios, LLC, our employees, contractors, or any AI system we provide access to. No information you receive through the Services should be considered professional advice on which you should rely.
We strongly encourage you to consult a licensed mental health professional, marriage and family therapist, physician, or other appropriate professional before making decisions affecting your physical or mental health, your relationship, or the wellbeing of your partner or family. The Services are intended to supplement — not replace — professional care.
Unlike licensed therapists, we are not subject to mandatory reporting obligations as a healthcare provider. However, we may disclose information as required by law (see Section 14, Privacy Policy). The AI therapist may surface crisis resources if it detects indicators of harm, but it is not a substitute for human crisis intervention.
By using the Services, you confirm you have read and understood this Section 2.
We are the owner or the licensee of all intellectual property rights in our Services, including all source code, databases, functionality, software, website designs, audio, video, text, photographs, and graphics in the Services (collectively, the "Content"), as well as the trademarks, service marks, and logos contained therein (the "Marks").
Our Content and Marks are protected by copyright and trademark laws (and various other intellectual property rights and unfair competition laws) and treaties in the United States and around the world.
The Content and Marks are provided in or through the Services "AS IS" for your personal, non-commercial use or internal business purpose only.
Subject to your compliance with these Legal Terms, including the "Prohibited activities" section below, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to:

If you wish to make any use of the Services, Content, or Marks other than as set out in this section or elsewhere in our Legal Terms, please address your request to info@squiresstudios.com. If we ever grant you the permission to post, reproduce, or publicly display any part of our Services or Content, you must identify us as the owners or licensors of the Services, Content, or Marks and ensure that any copyright or proprietary notice appears or is visible on posting, reproducing, or displaying our Content.
We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you in and to the Services, Content, and Marks.
Any breach of these Intellectual Property Rights will constitute a material breach of our Legal Terms and your right to use our Services will terminate immediately.
By directly sending us any question, comment, suggestion, idea, feedback, or other information about the Services ("Submissions"), you agree to assign to us all intellectual property rights in such Submission. You agree that we shall own this Submission and be entitled to its unrestricted use and dissemination for any lawful purpose, commercial or otherwise, without acknowledgment or compensation to you.

By using the Services, you represent and warrant that:
If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, we have the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Services (or any portion thereof).
You are required to register an account to use the Services. We use Sign in with Apple as our sole authentication method. By signing in with Apple, you authorize us to receive a hashed identifier from Apple to associate with your account, as described in our Privacy Policy. You are responsible for maintaining the security of the Apple ID associated with your account.
We reserve the right to remove, reclaim, or change a display name you select if we determine, in our sole discretion, that such display name is inappropriate, obscene, or otherwise objectionable.
The Services are designed for use by couples. After registration, you may create a "couple account" and generate an invite code to pair with a partner. By pairing with a partner, you and your partner share access to the data associated with your couple account, including but not limited to:
You acknowledge that:
You may use the Services solo (without pairing a partner) for a limited time. After a reasonable period, full functionality may require pairing.
You agree to keep your authentication credentials confidential and will be responsible for all use of your account. If you believe your account has been accessed by an unauthorized party, contact us immediately at info@squiresstudios.com.
The Services are offered on an auto-renewing subscription basis. Subscription plans, pricing, and any free trial details are presented in the App at the time of purchase. Current plans include:
Pricing in the App is in U.S. dollars; localized pricing may apply outside the United States.
We may offer a free introductory trial period (such as a 7-day free trial) for new subscribers. The length and availability of any trial are displayed at the time of purchase. If you do not cancel before the end of the free trial, you will be automatically charged the subscription fee for the plan you selected.
All subscriptions are processed by Apple via Apple's App Store. By subscribing through the App, you authorize Apple to charge your Apple ID on file for the subscription fee at the start of each billing period (monthly or annually) until you cancel. Your subscription automatically renews unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
We do not access or store your credit card or payment details — Apple processes all payment data.
To cancel your subscription, you must use Apple's subscription management:
Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current paid term. You will continue to have access to subscribed features until that date. Deleting the App from your device does not cancel your subscription.
All refund requests are handled by Apple in accordance with Apple's refund policies. Submit refund requests at https://reportaproblem.apple.com. We do not directly issue refunds.
We may change subscription fees from time to time. We will communicate any price changes to you in accordance with applicable law and Apple's requirements. Price changes for existing subscribers will not take effect until your subscription is renewed after notice has been provided.
A single active subscription on a couple account provides subscribed features to both paired partners. Partners do not subscribe separately.
Limited functionality (such as a preview of certain features) may be available without a subscription. Full functionality, including unlimited AI Chat, Live Therapy sessions, and Love Notes, requires an active subscription.
The Services use artificial intelligence (AI) systems to generate responses, insights, and recommendations. AI capabilities are provided through third-party AI service providers, including Anthropic (Claude AI) for conversational responses and Amazon Web Services (Polly) for text-to-speech conversion. See our Privacy Policy for details on how data is processed by these providers.
As described in Section 2, the AI therapist is not a licensed mental health professional and the Services are not a substitute for therapy or medical care.
AI systems can:
Conversations with the AI therapist may include sensitive topics such as relationship dynamics, mental health, sexual intimacy, trauma, and family relationships. By using the AI features, you consent to processing of such information as described in our Privacy Policy.
Conversations with the AI therapist are transmitted to and processed by our AI service providers (see Privacy Policy). Per our service-provider agreements, providers do not use your data to train their models and delete prompt content from operational systems within a defined retention window. However, AI conversations are not legally privileged communications in the way that conversations with a licensed therapist may be.
Live Therapy uses your device's microphone to capture audio. Audio is converted to text by Apple's Speech Recognition (which may process audio on-device or via Apple's servers depending on your iOS configuration). We store the resulting transcript, not the raw audio. By using Live Therapy, you consent to this processing.
You may not access or use the Services for any purpose other than that for which we make the Services available. The Services may not be used in connection with any commercial endeavors except those that are specifically endorsed or approved by us.
As a user of the Services, you agree not to:
The Services provide you with the opportunity to create, submit, post, display, transmit, or otherwise contribute content including AI Chat messages, Live Therapy session content, Love Notes, intake responses, and other text (collectively, "Contributions"). Contributions are shared between paired partners on the same couple account and are processed by our AI service providers as described in the Privacy Policy.
When you create or make available any Contributions, you thereby represent and warrant that:
Any use of the Services in violation of the foregoing violates these Legal Terms and may result in, among other things, termination or suspension of your rights to use the Services.
You and Services agree that we may access, store, process, and use any information and personal data that you provide following the terms of the Privacy Policy and your choices (including settings).
By submitting suggestions or other feedback regarding the Services, you agree that we can use and share such feedback for any purpose without compensation to you.
We do not assert any ownership over your Contributions. You retain full ownership of all of your Contributions and any intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights associated with your Contributions. We are not liable for any statements or representations in your Contributions provided by you in any area on the Services. You are solely responsible for your Contributions to the Services and you expressly agree to exonerate us from any and all responsibility and to refrain from any legal action against us regarding your Contributions.
You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to access, store, process, and transmit your Contributions for the limited purpose of providing the Services to you and your paired partner, including transmitting your conversational inputs to AI service providers to generate responses.
If you access the Services via the App, then we grant you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited right to install and use the App on wireless electronic devices owned or controlled by you, and to access and use the App on such devices strictly in accordance with the terms and conditions of this mobile application license contained in these Legal Terms. You shall not:
The following terms apply when you use the App obtained from the Apple App Store (the "App Distributor") to access the Services:
The Services may contain (or you may be sent via the Site or App) links to other websites ("Third-Party Websites") as well as articles, photographs, text, graphics, pictures, designs, music, sound, video, information, applications, software, and other content or items belonging to or originating from third parties ("Third-Party Content"). Such Third-Party Websites and Third-Party Content are not investigated, monitored, or checked for accuracy, appropriateness, or completeness by us, and we are not responsible for any Third-Party Websites accessed through the Services or any Third-Party Content posted on, available through, or installed from the Services.
Inclusion of, linking to, or permitting the use or installation of any Third-Party Websites or any Third-Party Content does not imply approval or endorsement thereof by us. If you decide to leave the Services and access the Third-Party Websites or to use or install any Third-Party Content, you do so at your own risk, and you should be aware these Legal Terms no longer govern. You should review the applicable terms and policies, including privacy and data gathering practices, of any website to which you navigate from the Services.
Any purchases you make through Third-Party Websites will be through other websites and from other companies, and we take no responsibility whatsoever in relation to such purchases which are exclusively between you and the applicable third party.
We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to:
We care about data privacy and security. Please review our Privacy Policy. By using the Services, you agree to be bound by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Legal Terms.
The Services are hosted in the United States. If you access the Services from any other region of the world with laws or other requirements governing personal data collection, use, or disclosure that differ from applicable laws in the United States, then through your continued use of the Services, you are transferring your data to the United States, and you expressly consent to have your data transferred to and processed in the United States.
These Legal Terms shall remain in full force and effect while you use the Services.
You may terminate your account at any time by:
Terminating your account does not cancel your Apple-managed subscription. To cancel your subscription, see Section 6.
Without limiting any other provision of these Legal Terms, we reserve the right to, in our sole discretion and without notice or liability, deny access to and use of the Services (including blocking certain IP addresses), to any person for any reason or for no reason, including without limitation for breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in these Legal Terms or of any applicable law or regulation. We may terminate your use or participation in the Services or delete your account and any content or information that you posted at any time, without warning, in our sole discretion.
If we terminate or suspend your account for any reason, you are prohibited from registering and creating a new account under your name, a fake or borrowed name, or the name of any third party, even if you may be acting on behalf of the third party. In addition to terminating or suspending your account, we reserve the right to take appropriate legal action, including without limitation pursuing civil, criminal, and injunctive redress.
We reserve the right to change, modify, or remove the contents of the Services at any time or for any reason at our sole discretion without notice. However, we have no obligation to update any information on our Services. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, price change, suspension, or discontinuance of the Services.
We cannot guarantee the Services will be available at all times. We may experience hardware, software, or other problems or need to perform maintenance related to the Services, resulting in interruptions, delays, or errors. We reserve the right to change, revise, update, suspend, discontinue, or otherwise modify the Services at any time or for any reason without notice to you. You agree that we have no liability whatsoever for any loss, damage, or inconvenience caused by your inability to access or use the Services during any downtime or discontinuance of the Services. Nothing in these Legal Terms will be construed to obligate us to maintain and support the Services or to supply any corrections, updates, or releases in connection therewith.
These Legal Terms and your use of the Services are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to agreements made and to be entirely performed within the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Legal Terms (each a "Dispute" and collectively, the "Disputes") brought by either you or us (individually, a "Party" and collectively, the "Parties"), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.
If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. You understand that without this provision, you would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the American Arbitration Association (AAA) website. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, we will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so.
Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in the State of California, United States. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in the State of California, United States, and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Legal Terms.
In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Services be commenced more than one (1) year after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief.
There may be information on the Services that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, including descriptions, pricing, availability, and various other information. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to change or update the information on the Services at any time, without prior notice.
The Services are provided on an as-is and as-available basis. You agree that your use of the Services will be at your sole risk.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, in connection with the Services and your use thereof, including, without limitation, the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We make no warranties or representations about the accuracy or completeness of the Services' Content (including any AI-generated content) or the content of any websites or mobile applications linked to the Services, and we will assume no liability or responsibility for any:
Specifically, and without limiting the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that:
We do not warrant, endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for any product or service advertised or offered by a third party through the Services, any hyperlinked website, or any website or mobile application featured in any banner or other advertising. As with the purchase of a product or service through any medium or in any environment, you should use your best judgment and exercise caution where appropriate.
In no event will we or our directors, employees, or agents be liable to you or any third party for any direct, indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special, or punitive damages, including lost profit, lost revenue, loss of data, emotional distress, relationship harm, or other damages arising from your use of the Services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, our liability to you for any cause whatsoever and regardless of the form of the action, will at all times be limited to the amount paid, if any, by you to us during the six (6) month period prior to any cause of action arising.
Certain US state laws and international laws do not allow limitations on implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. If these laws apply to you, some or all of the above disclaimers or limitations may not apply to you, and you may have additional rights.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless, including our subsidiaries, affiliates, and all of our respective officers, agents, partners, and employees, from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, made by any third party due to or arising out of:
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate, at your expense, with our defense of such claims. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action, or proceeding which is subject to this indemnification upon becoming aware of it.
We will maintain certain data that you transmit to the Services for the purpose of managing the performance of the Services, as well as data relating to your use of the Services. The handling of this data is governed by our Privacy Policy.
Although we perform regular routine backups of data, you are solely responsible for all data that you transmit or that relates to any activity you have undertaken using the Services. You agree that we shall have no liability to you for any loss or corruption of any such data, and you hereby waive any right of action against us arising from any such loss or corruption of such data.
Account deletion. You may delete your couple account and all associated data at any time from within the App (Settings → Delete Account). This action permanently removes data for both paired partners. We retain data only as described in the Privacy Policy.
Visiting the Services, sending us emails, and completing online forms constitute electronic communications. You consent to receive electronic communications, and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide to you electronically, via email and on the Services, satisfy any legal requirement that such communication be in writing.
You hereby agree to the use of electronic signatures, contracts, orders, and other records, and to electronic delivery of notices, policies, and records of transactions initiated or completed by us or via the Services. You hereby waive any rights or requirements under any statutes, regulations, rules, ordinances, or other laws in any jurisdiction which require an original signature or delivery or retention of non-electronic records, or to payments or the granting of credits by any means other than electronic means.
If any complaint with us is not satisfactorily resolved, you can contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, California 95834 or by telephone at (800) 952-5210 or (916) 445-1254.
These Legal Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Services or in respect to the Services constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Legal Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. These Legal Terms operate to the fullest extent permissible by law. We may assign any or all of our rights and obligations to others at any time. We shall not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, delay, or failure to act caused by any cause beyond our reasonable control. If any provision or part of a provision of these Legal Terms is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Legal Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. There is no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship created between you and us as a result of these Legal Terms or use of the Services. You agree that these Legal Terms will not be construed against us by virtue of having drafted them. You hereby waive any and all defenses you may have based on the electronic form of these Legal Terms and the lack of signing by the parties hereto to execute these Legal Terms.
