Terms and Conditions

Last updated: October 22, 2026

1. About these terms

These terms govern the use of the Molted app ("the app", "the service"), a gamified self-improvement app: habits, momentum, a character that evolves, to-dos and a planner, Focus sessions, groups and progress partners, statistics and reports written with the help of AI. By creating an account or using the app you confirm that you have read them and agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.

2. Your account

• To sync data between devices and to join groups you need an account (email or Google account). Authentication and account management are handled by the specialized provider Clerk (email and password or Google account); we do not see your password. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
• You must be at least 16 years old. If you are under 16, you need the consent of your parent or legal guardian.
• The data you provide must be accurate, and the account is personal: do not share it with anyone else and take care of access to it. You are responsible for what happens through your account.
• You can delete your account at any time from Settings, under "Delete account". The account and its associated data are deleted.

3. How you may use the app

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive and revocable right to use the app for your own use. Please do not:

• break the laws in force in Romania or the European Economic Area (EEA) by using the app;
• try to access other users' data or bypass security measures;
• use the app to harass, threaten, discriminate against or deceive anyone, including through the messages ("reminders") sent in groups;
• upload or write content that is illegal, offensive or that infringes the rights of others;
• use scripts, bots or other automated means to overload the service, fake progress or leaderboards, or abuse the AI features;
• disassemble, copy or resell the app or parts of it, beyond what the law allows.

4. Your content

The habits, to-dos, notes, character name and the other data you enter remain yours. You only give us the technical permission to store, display and process them as far as needed for the app to work (sync, statistics, groups, AI reports). You are responsible for what you write. We may remove content that breaks these terms.

5. Groups and progress partners

• A group can only be joined with the invitation code. What the other members see: your display name, character, level, streak, momentum and the day's progress. They do not see your list of habits or your texts.
• You can be in at most 3 groups and 3 progress partnerships; a partnership has two people.
• If you come across abusive behavior in the app, for example an abusive profile name or abusive messages ("reminders") sent in groups, you can contact us at molted.app@gmail.com. We review the report and may remove the content or suspend or close the account concerned, in line with section 14.
• You can leave a group at any time. Share the invitation code only with people you trust; whoever has the code can join.

6. AI features

The evening reports, the chapters of your character's story, the personalized lines at key moments, the analyses in Stats and the plan proposed by the coach are generated with an AI model, based on your progress (for example goals, ticked habits, to-dos, level and streak). The texts sent to the AI provider are limited to what is necessary. Keep in mind:

• AI-generated texts may be inaccurate or inappropriate; they are made for motivation and entertainment, not as a verdict about you;
• the score given by the AI contributes to momentum, but it is an indicative assessment with no value outside the game;
• the coach may point to research studies as a source; they are presented together with their limits, they are not a guarantee of results for you, and proposals are applied only if you confirm them;
• there is a daily usage limit, and the AI features may be unavailable or may fail. In that case the app does not replace the AI answer with a pre-written text: the feature simply generates nothing and tells you that the AI did not answer. Without an AI answer, the evening report is not generated and the day does not get the AI score.

7. Emails and notifications

Emails. By creating an account you agree to receive messages from Molted about the app at your account's email address: a starter message, tips, an introduction to the features, a request for your opinion and a single message if you are away for a long time. We send no more than one email every 7 days and no more than 3 in 30 days, and we send no one else's advertising. You can unsubscribe at any time, in a single click, from the link in the email or from Settings → Emails; unsubscribing applies immediately and does not affect your use of the app. Details are in the Privacy Policy (section 6).

Push notifications. If you turn them on, we may send you push notifications: the daily report at the time you chose and reminders sent by members of your groups. They are optional, and you can turn them off at any time from the app or from your browser or device settings. To send them we keep your device's technical address, time zone and report time (see the Privacy Policy). We do not guarantee their delivery: it depends on the browser, the device and the notification services. We do not use notifications for ads.

8. Not medical, financial or professional advice

Molted helps you track your habits. The content in the app (including the habits from the catalog, the quotes, the suggestions and the AI texts) is general in nature and does not replace the advice of a doctor, psychologist, financial advisor or other specialist. If you face physical or mental health problems, seek professional help. You are responsible for the habits you choose.

9. Intellectual property

The app, the design, the characters and pixel-art graphics, the app's texts, the code and the name "Molted" belong to the Molted team or its licensors and are protected by law. The terms do not transfer any ownership rights in them to you. The quotes shown belong to their authors and are credited with their source.

10. Personal data

How we use your data is described in the Privacy Policy, which is part of these terms. There you will also find what data we collect through the statistics tool (PostHog) and the error-reporting tool (Sentry), the emails we send (through Resend), and the cookies and local storage we use. You have rights over your data (access, rectification, erasure, portability); you can exercise them from the app (downloading or deleting your data in Settings) or by writing to us.

11. Availability and changes to the service

The app is provided "as is" and "as available". We make reasonable efforts to keep it working, but we do not guarantee that it will not have interruptions, errors or data loss. We recommend that you download your data from Settings periodically. We may change, limit or stop certain features or the entire service; when possible, we will tell you in advance.

12. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect damages or for loss of data, progress or profit resulting from the use of, or the inability to use, the app. The app is free in its current form, and our total liability to you does not exceed, to the extent permitted by law, the amount you paid for the service in the last 12 months. We are also not liable for problems, damages or losses caused by incorrect use of the product, that is, use contrary to these terms, the instructions in the app or the law. Nothing in these terms limits the rights that the law recognizes for you as an individual and nothing excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.

13. Force majeure

We are not liable for failure to perform or delay in performing our obligations if it is caused by a force majeure event, that is, an external, unpredictable, absolutely unavoidable and inevitable event, such as natural disasters, war, cyberattacks, power or network outages, failures of infrastructure providers (hosting, authentication, notifications, AI) or decisions of the authorities. The affected obligations are suspended for the duration of the event, and we make reasonable efforts to resume the service as quickly as possible.

14. Suspension and termination

You can stop using the app at any time. We reserve the right to suspend or close abusive accounts, that is, those that break these terms, that do not comply with the laws in force in Romania or the European Economic Area (EEA), that endanger the security of the service or of other users, or when the law requires us to. In serious cases we may act without notice; when possible, we tell you the reason. Upon termination, your right to use the app ends, and the account data is deleted in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

15. Changes to the terms

We may update these terms, for example when new features appear. The date of the last update is written at the top. If the changes are important, we will tell you in the app or by email. If you keep using the app after the changes take effect, it means you agree to them.

16. Governing law

These terms are governed by Romanian law. We first try to resolve any disputes amicably; if we cannot, the Romanian courts have jurisdiction, without affecting the rights you have as a consumer, including the possibility of going to the court of your place of residence or to the consumer protection authorities.

17. Who provides the service, and contact

The service is provided by the Molted team, a group of natural persons without legal personality: Teodor-Vlad Constantin, Mihai-Alexandru Stroe, Vlad Alexandru Oancea and Tudor Filipache, postal address Buzău, Romania. The app is free in its current form. If we later register a company, the rights and obligations pass to it and you will be told. You may also contact the consumer protection authorities (ANPC, anpc.ro).

For questions about these terms, about personal data or to report abusive behavior (for example an abusive profile name or abusive reminder messages in groups), write to us at molted.app@gmail.com.
