Terms of Service

The short version

  • Drift is a self-tracking tool, not medical advice. It's a good companion to a plan; it isn't a substitute for a doctor.
  • Subscriptions are weekly and auto-renew through Apple or Google. Cancel anytime in your phone's settings; refunds go through Apple or Google, not us.
  • A Commitment is a one-time, non-refundable purchase. The money is spent when you buy it — it isn't held for you and doesn't come back, whether or not you hit your goals.
  • Every number Drift shows — averages, streaks, scores, "saved" totals, projections — is an estimate built from what you enter.
  • Disputes go to individual arbitration rather than court, and you give up class actions — unless you opt out within 30 days, which you're free to do (Section 21).

This summary is for convenience only. The full text below is what governs.

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you and We Sell Things LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Drift", "we", "us", or "our"). They govern your access to and use of the Drift mobile application, its home-screen and lock-screen widgets, our websites, our APIs, notifications we send you, and any related services (together, the "Service").

By downloading, installing, creating an account for, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Changes to these Terms

We may change these Terms from time to time. If a change is material, we will give you notice through the app, by email, or by updating the "Last updated" date and posting the revised Terms at this URL before they take effect. Changes are not retroactive and apply to your use of the Service after the effective date. Your continued use of the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the revised Terms. If you do not accept them, your remedy is to stop using the Service and cancel your subscription.

Changes to Section 21 (Dispute Resolution) do not apply to any dispute for which we had actual notice before the change took effect.

2. Eligibility and age requirements

Drift is designed for tracking the moderation of adult behaviors, including alcohol, tobacco, nicotine, and similar categories. The Service does not sell, supply, encourage, or endorse the use of any of these. If content of this nature is not appropriate for you, do not use the Service.

3. Your account

You need an account to use most of the Service. You may create one with an email address and password, or by using Sign in with Apple or Google Sign-In. You agree to:

You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. We are not liable for any loss arising from unauthorized use of your account, including any Commitment forfeited or purchase made by someone using your device or credentials.

You may delete your account at any time using the instructions on our Support page. Deleting your account does not cancel your subscription — see Section 6.

4. What Drift is — and what it is not

Drift is a self-tracking tool, not medical advice or a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent any disease, disorder, addiction, or condition, and using it does not create a doctor–patient, therapist–client, counselor, or other professional relationship between you and us.

You acknowledge and agree that:

5. Your data, and the numbers Drift shows you

Drift's entire output is derived from information you enter: the habits you create, the baseline you claim, the per-unit cost, calorie, or time values you supply, the counts you log, the pauses you take, and your device's time zone.

You retain ownership of the data you create in Drift. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, transmit, and display that data solely to operate, secure, support, and improve the Service, and as described in our Privacy Policy. This license ends when you delete the data or your account, except for backups and records we are required to retain, and except for aggregated or de-identified data that cannot reasonably be linked back to you.

6. Subscriptions, billing, and cancellation

Auto-renewing subscriptions

Drift's full functionality requires a paid, auto-renewing weekly subscription, offered in tiers:

The tiers differ in price only; the features are the same. Prices shown are in U.S. dollars and may differ by country, currency, tax treatment, and platform. The price and billing period displayed on the purchase screen at the time you buy is the price that governs.

How billing works

Cancelling

You can cancel at any time through your platform's subscription settings:

Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep access until then. Deleting the app or deleting your Drift account does not cancel your subscription — you must cancel through Apple or Google. Uninstalling the app while a subscription is active will not stop renewals or charges.

Refunds

Except where a refund is required by applicable law, all charges are final and non-refundable, and partial periods are not refunded or pro-rated. Because Apple and Google process payments, all refund requests must go to them; we have no technical ability to refund a platform purchase. See Apple's refund instructions or Google Play's refund instructions. Nothing here limits any non-waivable statutory right you may have, including cancellation and withdrawal rights available to consumers in the EU, UK, and certain other jurisdictions.

Price changes

We may change subscription prices. A price change will not take effect for you until the beginning of a subsequent billing period, and we (or the platform) will give you notice and, where required, obtain your consent before the new price applies. If you do not accept a price change, cancel before it takes effect.

Chargebacks

If you initiate a chargeback or payment dispute rather than following the refund process above, we may suspend or terminate your account and revoke any associated benefits, including any active Commitment, promotional pricing, or reward, without further liability to you.

7. Free Week and other rewards

Drift may offer promotional rewards, including the "Free Week" — an offer that, if earned and claimed, makes your next subscription renewal $0.

8. Commitments (the "pledge" feature)

A Commitment is a purchase, not a deposit. Buying one is a one-time, non-refundable purchase of a feature that puts a stake behind your goals inside the app. The money is spent at the moment of purchase — we don't hold it for you, it isn't an escrow, deposit, trust, savings balance, stored value, credit, or investment, you can't withdraw it, and it isn't returned or paid out to you, whether or not you meet your goals. "Forfeiting" doesn't move money; it ends the Commitment's status inside the app.

Here is how the feature works, and what you're agreeing to:

What you are buying

No prize, no payout, no chance

Eligibility, arming, and forfeiture

Your acknowledgements

9. Notifications and reminders

The Service sends push notifications — habit reminders, quick-log actions, end-of-day and reward messages, and Commitment-related alerts. You agree that:

10. Widgets, sharing, and device features

Drift can display data in home-screen and lock-screen widgets, generate shareable images of your progress, save those images to your device's photo library, and hand them to other apps such as Instagram. If you use these features:

11. Acceptable use

You agree not to, and not to attempt to:

We may investigate suspected violations and take any action we consider appropriate, including reversing rewards, voiding Commitments, and suspending or terminating accounts.

12. Our intellectual property

The Service — including its software, design, text, graphics, icons, fonts as licensed, layouts, and the "Drift" name and logo — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the Service on devices you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial use. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. Feedback you send us may be used freely, without obligation or compensation to you.

13. Third-party services

The Service relies on third parties, including Apple, Google (including Firebase authentication and messaging), our hosting and database providers, our analytics provider, and the advertising-measurement provider described in our Privacy Policy. Their availability, changes, outages, and policies are outside our control, and we are not responsible for them. Your use of Apple's and Google's services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Links from the Service to third-party sites or apps are provided for convenience and do not imply endorsement.

14. Apple-specific terms

If you obtained the app from the Apple App Store, the following apply and prevail over any conflicting provision in these Terms as between you and Apple:

15. Availability, changes, and data loss

We may modify, suspend, limit, or discontinue the Service or any feature — including subscription tiers, rewards, and the Commitment feature — at any time, with or without notice. We may impose usage limits, run maintenance, and release features that are experimental or incomplete.

We take reasonable measures to protect your data, but we do not guarantee that data will never be lost, corrupted, or made temporarily unavailable, and we are not a backup service. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for lost or corrupted data, lost streaks, lost scores, lost history, or missed evaluations. Export your data if it matters to you.

16. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms, if we suspect fraud or abuse, if required by law or a platform, or if we discontinue the Service.

On termination: your license ends, your right to use the Service stops, any active Commitment ends with no refund or return of the amount, any unclaimed reward is void, and your data is handled as described in our Privacy Policy. Termination does not cancel your Apple or Google subscription — you must cancel that yourself. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including Sections 5, 8, 12, and 17 through 22.

17. Disclaimer of warranties

In particular, we don't warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, timely, or error-free; that any calculation, evaluation, streak, score, estimate, or notification will be accurate, complete, or delivered; or that the Service will meet your requirements or produce any particular health, behavioral, or financial outcome.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you. In that case, any implied warranty is limited to the shortest period permitted by law.

18. Limitation of liability

Without limiting the above, this includes: any health, medical, psychological, or behavioral outcome arising from your use of the Service or from a goal you set; any Commitment amount spent or forfeited; any reward not earned, not delivered, or not claimed; any subscription charge incurred because a subscription was not cancelled; any undelivered, delayed, or inaccurate notification; and any lost, incorrect, or reset streak, score, entry, or history.

These limitations apply even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose, and they are a fundamental basis of the bargain between us. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages — including, in some places, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or fraudulent misrepresentation — so some of the above may not apply to you, and nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

19. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless We Sell Things LLC and its members, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: your use of the Service; your violation of these Terms or applicable law; your violation of anyone's rights; the data or content you submit or share; or any decision you make about your own health, behavior, or spending in connection with the Service.

20. Assumption of risk

You use the Service voluntarily and at your own risk, and you're responsible for your own health, behavior, goals, and spending, including any decision to buy a Commitment. To the extent permitted by law, you accept the risks that come with a behavior-tracking and self-motivation tool — among them that goals, reminders, streaks, scores, and stakes create pressure, which is the point for some people and the wrong fit for others. If it's the wrong fit for you, stop using it.

21. Dispute resolution — arbitration and class action waiver

This section affects your legal rights, so it's worth a read. It sends most disputes to individual binding arbitration instead of court, means you give up a jury trial and class actions, and gives you 30 days to opt out if you'd rather not.

Informal resolution first

Before starting any proceeding, you agree to first contact us using the address on our Support page, with a description of the dispute, the relief you seek, and your account email. We will do the same for any claim we have against you. Both parties agree to try in good faith to resolve the dispute for 60 days after that notice. This step is a condition precedent to starting arbitration, and any limitations period is tolled during it.

Binding individual arbitration

If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, you and we agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service — including its formation, interpretation, breach, or termination, and including claims that arose before you accepted these Terms — will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration, administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, and not in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section.

Arbitration will take place in the county where you live or, at your election, by telephone, videoconference, or on documents only. A single arbitrator will decide the dispute and may award the same individual relief a court could. We will pay AAA filing and arbitrator fees to the extent required by the AAA rules for consumer cases. The arbitrator's award may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

What is excluded

Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property or to stop unauthorized access to the Service. Nothing here prevents you from reporting a matter to a government agency.

Class action and jury waiver

If this class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request will be severed and heard in a court of competent jurisdiction, while all other claims proceed in arbitration. If the entire arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, disputes will be resolved in the courts identified in Section 22.

Coordinated filings

If 25 or more similar arbitration demands are filed by or with the assistance of the same counsel or coordinated entity, the AAA's mass-arbitration or multiple-case-filing procedures will apply, and the parties will cooperate to have the cases batched for efficient resolution.

Your right to opt out

You may opt out of this arbitration and class-waiver section by writing to us at the address on our Support page, with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" and including your name and account email, within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out affects only this Section 21; the rest of the Terms still apply, and opting out will not affect your use of the Service in any way.

22. Governing law and venue

These Terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and by the Federal Arbitration Act as to Section 21. For any dispute not subject to arbitration, you and we consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware, and waive any objection to venue or inconvenient forum.

If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction whose law grants you rights that cannot be waived by contract, nothing in these Terms deprives you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, or of the right to bring proceedings in the courts of that country.
