# Terms of Use · Askesis Source: https://goaskesis.com/terms Back to homeTerms of Use Effective date: October 27, 2026 1. Acceptance of Terms By accessing or using Askesis ("the Platform"), operated by Individual Entrepreneur Nikita Shestak ("we", "us", "our"), you agree to these Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy and our Refund Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform. 2. Who Can Use Askesis You must be at least 13 years old to use the Platform. If you are under 18, or under the age of digital consent in your country, you confirm that your parent or guardian has agreed to these Terms. Only adults may buy a subscription. By creating an account, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate. 3. Your Account You sign in with an emailed link or with Google. You are responsible for keeping access to your email and Google account secure and for all activity under your account. Tell us immediately at support@goaskesis.com if you suspect unauthorised access. You can delete your account at any time in your profile. 4. Acceptable Use You agree to use Askesis only for lawful purposes. You must not: Post content that is hateful, discriminatory, harassing, threatening or abusive toward any person or group Post content that is obscene, pornographic or sexually explicit Create challenges that encourage self-harm, dangerous or illegal activity Impersonate another person or entity, or misrepresent your identity Post false or misleading check-ins — each check-in confirms that you genuinely did that day's challenge Spam, advertise without our permission, or attempt phishing Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Platform or its infrastructure, or interfere with its operation Scrape or extract data from the Platform, or use bots or scripts to interact with it, without our written consent Manipulate streaks, leaderboards, karma or any ranking by artificial means Post content that infringes anyone's intellectual property or other rights 5. User Content You keep ownership of the content you post, including check-in notes, comments and challenge descriptions. By posting public content, you grant Individual Entrepreneur Nikita Shestak a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, display and distribute it on the Platform and to show it in materials promoting the Platform. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for promotional materials already published. Private notes are never covered by this licence. You are solely responsible for the content you post. We do not endorse user content. 6. Challenges and Check-ins Askesis is built on honest accountability. You can join a challenge at any time; your own period runs for the challenge's number of days from your start date, following your profile's timezone. Each day of your period you can check in once. A day without a check-in or a freeze is recorded as missed and resets your current streak. When your period ends, the challenge is marked completed if you checked in on at least 80% of its days, otherwise it is marked ended. Challenges that require approval start only after the creator approves you. Challenge creators are responsible for their challenges. Challenges are not medical, fitness or professional advice — take part at your own risk and within your own limits. Report suspected false check-ins or other violations to support@goaskesis.com. We may investigate and remove content or suspend accounts. 7. Free Plan and Subscription The free plan lets you have up to 2 active challenges you created and take part in 1 challenge at a time (your own challenges don't count towards this). Drafts don't count. The paid subscription (streak insurance) removes these limits and includes 2 freeze days per month that protect your streak; a freeze can be used on the current day or, within 7 days, on a missed day (yesterday costs 1 freeze, older days 2). If you check in on a day you froze, the freeze is returned. Unused freezes do not roll over. Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns. Subscriptions started before November 2026 continue to be billed through Stripe. Subscriptions are billed monthly or yearly in advance at the price shown before you pay, including any applicable taxes, and renew automatically until you cancel. You can cancel at any time under Subscription in the app menu; you keep access until the end of the paid period. Refunds are described in our Refund Policy. We may change features or prices. Price changes apply from your next billing period and we will tell you in advance, so you can cancel before they apply. Streaks, karma, badges and freezes have no monetary value and cannot be transferred or exchanged. 8. Privacy How we handle personal data is described in our Privacy Policy. Private notes are visible only to you, are never used for AI training and are never disclosed to third parties except as required by law. 9. Content Moderation and Termination We may remove content that violates these Terms and suspend or close accounts for serious or repeated violations. We are not obliged to monitor all content but will act on reports sent to support@goaskesis.com. If we close your account without cause, we will refund the unused part of a paid subscription. 10. Intellectual Property The Askesis name, logo, design and platform technology belong to Individual Entrepreneur Nikita Shestak. You may not use them without our prior written permission. 11. Third-Party Services and Sponsored Content The Platform relies on third-party services including Supabase (database and sign-in), Vercel (hosting), Paddle (payments, as Merchant of Record), Stripe (payments for subscriptions started before November 2026), Google (sign-in), Resend (email) and Amplitude (analytics). Purchases are also subject to Paddle's buyer terms. The Platform may show sponsored cards linking to other products and websites. We are not responsible for third-party sites, products or their practices. 12. Disclaimer The Platform is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted or error-free. We are not responsible for loss of streaks or progress caused by technical failures, except where the failure is our fault and the law requires otherwise. 13. Limitation of Liability To the maximum extent permitted by law, Individual Entrepreneur Nikita Shestak is not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from your use of the Platform, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or any other liability or consumer right that cannot be limited or excluded by law. 14. Governing Law These Terms are governed by the laws of Georgia, and disputes are subject to the courts of Georgia. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of your country of residence and may bring claims in its courts. 15. Changes to These Terms We may update these Terms. We will notify registered users of material changes by email or in-app notification before they take effect. If you keep using the Platform after that, the updated Terms apply; if you do not agree, you can cancel your subscription and delete your account. 16.
