Terms of Use, Assume It
Last updated: October 28, 2026
Please read these Terms of Use ("Terms") before using Assume It ("the app"). By downloading or using the app, you agree to these Terms.
These Terms are between you and Artifex Innovations LLC ("we," "us"), the provider of Assume It.
The app
Assume It is a personal practice tool for writing, recording, and revisiting personal “scenes.” It is intended for relaxation, reflection, and self-guided mental rehearsal.
Not medical or professional advice
Assume It is not a medical device and does not provide medical, psychological, or therapeutic advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Content in the app (including any references to research) is for general informational purposes only. If you are experiencing distress or a medical or mental-health condition, please consult a qualified professional. Do not use the app's audio while driving or operating machinery.
Subscriptions
Premium access is offered as an auto-renewable subscription (monthly or annual), sold through the Apple App Store. Android Premium is unavailable unless and until a configured Android release displays Google Play subscription options. When those options are available, Android Premium is offered as an auto-renewable subscription (monthly or annual) sold through Google Play.
For an Apple purchase you choose, payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation unless an eligible free trial applies. For a Google Play purchase you choose, payment is charged to the applicable Google Play account according to the terms shown at checkout. Apple introductory offers do not apply to Google Play purchases.
When offered and confirmed by Apple at checkout, an eligible Apple free trial lasts three days on the monthly or annual Premium plan. After the trial, the selected paid subscription begins and renews automatically at the price and billing period shown by Apple at checkout unless canceled. Cancel at least 24 hours before the trial or current subscription period ends to avoid renewal. Manage or cancel through your Apple Account subscription settings. Apple determines eligibility; a customer can redeem only one introductory offer across the Assume It Premium subscription group. Customers who are not eligible see the applicable paid terms before purchase.
Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel before the next renewal. Apple may charge the renewal within 24 hours before the current period ends.
You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription. Deleting your Assume It account does not cancel a subscription. If Google Play subscription options were available in your Android release and you subscribed there, manage or cancel it in Google Play's subscription settings.
Apple purchases can be restored through the app using Apple's StoreKit, including the app's “Restore Purchases” option, and refund requests for Apple purchases are handled by Apple under Apple's App Store refund policy. If Google Play subscription options are available in your configured Android release, Google Play purchases can be restored or reconciled through Google Play Billing, and refund requests are handled under Google Play's policies. Where applicable law requires otherwise, mandatory consumer rights prevail.
Prices are shown in the app before purchase and may vary by region.
Accounts, permissions, and external services
A paying customer does not need an Assume It account. Sign-in is optional. On iOS, account providers currently offered are Apple, Google, or email; Microsoft remains hidden pending publisher verification. On Android, Google or email sign-in is available only when the release includes its Firebase configuration; otherwise account sign-in is unavailable. Features such as recording, iPhone dictation, reminders, and Auto appearance require the relevant device permission; you can decline a permission, but the related feature may be unavailable or use its stated fallback.
The app can open Privacy, Terms, Support, and cited research pages in a browser when you select their links. Apple, Google, Firebase, website hosts, and linked third-party sites operate under their own terms and policies. Links to studies are provided for general information and do not promise a particular result or endorse every statement on the destination site.
Apple, Google Play, and other applicable store or platform terms may also apply. Where required, mandatory platform terms control to the extent of any conflict with these Terms, and mandatory consumer protections remain in force.
Optional problem reports and support
Sending a problem report is optional. We use the information you enter, including any contact details, to investigate problems, respond when possible, and secure the reporting service, as described in our Privacy Policy. Please do not include passwords, payment information, or private scene or recording content.
Your content
Scenes and recordings you create are yours and are stored on your device (see the Privacy Policy). On iPhone, if you opt in to personal widget excerpts, short excerpts are also stored locally in the app's shared widget container. Optional account sign-in does not sync your scenes or recordings. You are responsible for the content you create.
Acceptable use
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app for your personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, redistribute, sell, sublicense, or create derivative works from the app or its content except as permitted by law; attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the app; or engage in unlawful misuse of the app. You agree not to misuse the app or use it in violation of applicable law.
You may not interfere with or disrupt the app or its connected services, attempt to bypass access or security controls, submit fraudulent or abusive problem reports, or knowingly assist another person in any prohibited use. Restrictions on copying, modification, or reverse engineering apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law and applicable open-source licenses.
Suspension and termination
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Artifex Innovations LLC may suspend or terminate your license to use the app or your access to its connected services if you materially violate these Terms or unlawfully misuse the app or those services. We may act with or without prior notice, subject to any notice, remedy, or other protection required by applicable law.
Ending your license or access does not transfer ownership of your scenes or recordings to us or by itself delete content stored on your device. Information we hold remains subject to the retention and deletion provisions in our Privacy Policy. Ending access does not by itself cancel a store subscription; you can manage or cancel it through the store where you subscribed. Any refund or other remedy required by applicable law or applicable store terms remains available to you.
Disclaimer and limitation of liability
The app may be interrupted, unavailable, delayed, or contain errors or other defects, and we do not promise uninterrupted or error-free operation. The app is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent permitted by law. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the app.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Artifex Innovations LLC's total liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the app or these Terms will not exceed the greater of US$100 or the fees you paid for Assume It through the applicable store during the 12 months immediately before the event giving rise to the claim.
The exclusions and cap in this section do not apply to liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that applicable law does not allow us to exclude or limit. Nothing in these Terms limits mandatory consumer rights, statutory remedies that cannot lawfully be limited, or any refund or other remedy required by applicable store terms.
Responsibility for third-party claims
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to reimburse Artifex Innovations LLC for damages and reasonable external legal costs that a final court judgment requires it to pay, or that are included in a settlement you approve in writing, but only to the extent a third-party claim results from: (a) content you create or submit through the app that infringes that third party's intellectual property or privacy rights; (b) your intentional misuse of the app or its connected services; or (c) your violation of applicable law in connection with that use. This obligation does not cover claims to the extent caused by Artifex Innovations LLC's own breach of these Terms, negligence, or other wrongful conduct.
We will notify you promptly of a claim for which we seek reimbursement and give you a reasonable opportunity to participate in its resolution. We will not agree to a settlement that imposes an obligation on you without your written consent. This paragraph does not limit any consumer protection or other right that cannot lawfully be waived.
Dispute resolution and arbitration
Please read this section carefully. It affects how disputes between you and Artifex Innovations LLC are resolved, including a waiver of jury trial and class actions, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you and Artifex Innovations LLC agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the app or these Terms will be resolved by binding individual arbitration rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if the claim qualifies, and either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section.
You and Artifex Innovations LLC each waive any right to a jury trial and any right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or other representative, collective, or consolidated proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate another person's claims with yours and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If a court finds the class-action waiver in this section unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim must be brought in court and will be severed from any claims that proceed in arbitration.
The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator under the consumer arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The arbitration will take place in the State of Washington or, at your election, by telephone or video conference or based on written submissions. We will pay or reimburse arbitration filing, administration, and arbitrator fees to the extent needed so that the cost of arbitration is no greater for you than filing the same claim in court, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement. To opt out, email info@artio.space within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, with your name and a clear statement that you decline the arbitration agreement. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.
Nothing in this section limits mandatory consumer protections, statutory remedies, or other rights that cannot lawfully be waived, and this section applies only to the extent permitted by the law of the state or country where you live.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Mandatory consumer protections and other rights that cannot lawfully be waived remain available to you. This choice of law does not deprive you of protections or remedies that applicable law in the state or country where you live requires us to preserve, including applicable California consumer and privacy protections.
Changes
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the app after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
