Section 1

Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you") and Inthread ("we," "us," or "our") governing your use of the Inthread iOS and Apple Watch application (the "App") and all related services.

By creating an account, downloading, installing, or using the App, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.

These Terms also incorporate, by reference, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement ("Apple EULA"), available at apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Apple EULA, these Terms shall govern to the extent permitted.

Section 2

Description of Service

Inthread provides an iOS keyboard extension and Apple Watch application that allows you to access third-party AI language models (including but not limited to Claude by Anthropic, GPT-4o by OpenAI, Gemini by Google, and Grok by xAI) from within iMessage and Apple Watch without leaving your conversation.

The App acts as an interface layer between you and third-party AI providers. We do not operate the underlying AI models. The quality, accuracy, and availability of AI responses are governed by the respective third-party providers.

In no event shall our total liability to you exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid to us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) US $50.
