Terms of Service

1. The agreement

These Terms are a contract between you and Hypera Venture Inc. (“Someday,” “we,” “us”), the company behind the Someday app and the Stedhaven brand. By creating an account, starting a membership, or making a purchase, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree, don’t use the Service.

You must be 18 or older and able to form a binding contract. The Service is offered in the United States.

2. What the Service is

Someday lets you record voice messages for your children, keeps them safe, and helps you pass them on — including through physical products (like our minted coins) that can help your family access what you’ve made, now or years from now. Features, prices, and details of the Service will evolve; current features and pricing are always described in the app and on our site.

3. Our promises about your recordings

These commitments are the heart of the Service and of this contract:

• (a) Your recordings are yours. You own every recording you make and everything you create in the Service. We take only the limited license we need to store, process, back up, transmit, and deliver your content so the Service works — nothing more.
• (b) We never sell your content or your family’s information. We will not sell, rent, or trade your recordings, your children’s information, or your personal information.
• (c) Never for advertising. Never for AI training. We will not use your recordings or your children’s information to advertise to anyone, or to train artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models — ours or anyone else’s.
• (d) Not biometrics. We do not use your recordings to identify anyone by voice, and we will not build or permit voiceprint or biometric identification from your content.
• (e) Yours regardless of payment. If your paid membership ends, you do not lose what you made. Your recordings remain yours, remain stored, and remain retrievable and exportable by you. Paid membership affects what you can add and do going forward, never your ownership of or access to what you have already made.
• (f) These promises bind our successors. If we are ever acquired, merged, or reorganized, any successor takes the user content in this Service subject to (a)–(e).

4. Permanence, and if we ever wind down

Permanence is our design goal, and we pursue it in two ways.

First, by architecture. The Service is built so your archive can live in storage you control (such as your own cloud drive), not only on our systems. Your own copies are yours forever and need nothing from us. We encourage every member to keep their archive synced or exported at all times.

Second, by commitment. No young company can honestly promise to exist forever — so we promise a floor, and we are working to raise it. If we ever discontinue the Service, we will give you as much advance notice as we reasonably can — and in all events no less than 90 days as a minimum, except where legally impossible — during which export will keep functioning so you can take a complete copy of everything you’ve made. Beyond that floor, it is our stated intention to establish, as the company grows, a dedicated long-term arrangement (such as a funded trust or escrow) committed to keeping member archives and their access mechanisms alive for decades regardless of what happens to the company. That arrangement does not exist yet and this paragraph does not create it; when it does exist, we will announce it and bind ourselves to it in these Terms.

5. Memberships, trials, and billing

• We offer paid memberships (currently in monthly, yearly, and one-time “Lifetime” forms) and one-time purchases (including physical products). Current prices, what each membership includes, and trial terms are shown at the point of purchase.
• Free trials: if a membership starts with a free trial, we will tell you the trial length and the price you’ll be charged when it converts, before you start. You can cancel during the trial and pay nothing.
• Auto-renewal: subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. How to cancel: purchases made through Apple are managed and cancelled in your Apple account settings; purchases made on our website are managed in your account or by contacting us. Cancelling stops future charges; it does not delete your account or your recordings (see §3(e)).
• “Lifetime” membership means a one-time payment covering membership for the life of the Service (see §4 for what happens if the Service ever ends), for the purchasing account. It is not transferable except as part of passing your archive to your family as the Service is designed to do.
• Charges are processed by Apple or by our payment processor; we do not store your card details.
• Except where required by law or expressly stated at purchase, payments are non-refundable once a billing period begins — but we care more about your trust than a billing period; contact us and we will try to make it right.

6. Physical products (coins and other goods)

Some memberships include, and our shop may sell, physical products such as minted coins. Physical products are goods, separate from your digital membership: shipping timelines are estimates; risk of loss passes on delivery; if a coin arrives damaged or goes missing in transit, contact us and we’ll replace it. A lost coin does not lock your family out — coins are one way to access an archive, and we will always maintain reasonable alternative means for you (or those you designate) to access what’s yours, subject to our verification procedures.

What the coin is (and isn’t). The coin is a physical keepsake and an access key — it does not contain or store your recordings. Its code and QR link to your archive in the Service; the coin does not connect to any copies you’ve exported to your own storage. To be clear about what “requires the Service” means: it means the platform must exist (see §4) — it does not mean you must keep paying. Consistent with §3(e), your archive and the coin’s ability to open it do not depend on an active paid membership; a coin your family holds will work whether or not you are still a paying member. And losing the coin never means losing your recordings — your archive exists in the Service independently of the coin (and in any copies you keep yourself), and we maintain alternative means of access as described above.

7. Your account, your kids, and access by others

• You are responsible for your account and for keeping your credentials secure.
• You may enter information about your children (like a first name and birthdate) to personalize the Service and to control when messages become available. You confirm you have the right, as their parent or legal guardian, to provide it. Your children are not account holders.
• The Service includes features that let people you designate (typically your children, possibly years from now) access some or all of your archive after completing verification steps you configure. You are responsible for choosing those verification details thoughtfully; we will honor the access rules you set, as they exist at the time of access.
• Access flows may be used by your children when they are minors (for example, a teenager using a coin you gave them). By setting up such access, you consent to that use as their parent or guardian.

8. Acceptable use

Don’t use the Service to break the law, to harm anyone, to upload content you don’t have the right to record, or to interfere with the Service or other users. Recordings are private to your family by design; the Service is not a platform for public distribution. We may suspend or terminate accounts engaged in illegal activity or abuse of the Service — and even then, §3(e)’s export right survives except where the content itself is unlawful or we are legally barred.

9. Deletion and immutability

• You can delete recordings. Deleted recordings enter a recovery window (currently about 30 days) and are then permanently deleted from our systems. Permanent means permanent — we cannot recover them after that, and you accept that risk when you confirm deletion.
• By design, a saved recording’s audio cannot be edited or replaced — only its details (title, recipient, availability) can change. This protects the integrity of your archive.
• You can delete your entire account; we will delete your data per our Privacy Policy, subject to any export you perform first. Deleting your account deletes your archive. Export first.

10. Disclaimers, liability, and disputes

• THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim implied warranties (merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement). We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation.
• We strongly encourage you to use the export features to keep your own copies. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising out of the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amounts you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or (b) $100. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of data — provided that nothing in this section limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or excuses us from the promises in §3.
• If any part of these Terms is unenforceable, the rest stands. These Terms plus the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement. We may update these Terms; for material changes we’ll give notice (in-app or by email) before they take effect, and the §3 promises will never be weakened by an update.
