Terms of Service
Last updated October 21, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Maria Patricia Del Mundo, who operates Hypnofy as an individual ("Hypnofy", "we", "us"), and cover the Hypnofy iPhone app, the Hypnofy website and the services behind them (together, the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.
1. A wellness product, not medical care
Hypnofy creates guided self-hypnosis sessions for relaxation and self-improvement. Hypnofy is not a medical device, and it does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or mental health condition. It is not therapy, counseling, psychotherapy or medical advice, and it does not create a doctor–patient or therapist–client relationship with anyone, including our cofounders. Always seek the advice of a qualified health professional about any medical or mental health question, and never disregard or delay professional advice because of something you heard in Hypnofy.
If you are in crisis or think you may harm yourself or someone else, stop using Hypnofy and call your local emergency number now. In the US, call or text 988. You can find more lines on our Support page.
2. Who can use Hypnofy
You must be at least 18 years old, and old enough to enter into a binding contract where you live, to use the Service. By using it, you confirm that you are.
3. Using Hypnofy safely
- Never listen while driving, operating machinery, or doing anything that needs your full attention. Only listen when you are somewhere safe where you can relax completely.
- If you have epilepsy or a seizure disorder, psychosis, a dissociative disorder, or are in active psychiatric care, talk to your clinician before using hypnosis.
- Stop any session at any time if you feel uncomfortable, distressed or unwell. You can always open your eyes and return to full awareness.
- Hypnofy screens what you share and may decline to write a session, offer a calm breathing session instead, or show support resources. These checks help but cannot catch everything, and they are not a substitute for your own judgment or professional care.
4. Your account
You can sign up with Sign in with Apple or with an email address and password. You are responsible for keeping your login details secure and for activity under your account. Tell us at support@hypnofy.app if you think someone else has accessed it. You can delete your account at any time in the app under Settings.
5. Plans, subscriptions and billing
Free plan
The free plan includes one new personalized session a month and the features described in the app. We may change what the free plan includes.
Hypnofy Plus
Hypnofy Plus is an auto-renewing subscription, offered monthly or annually, that unlocks additional features described in the app. Plus includes up to 30 new personalized sessions in any 30-day period; this limit keeps the Service sustainable and may be adjusted with notice.
- Billing. Subscriptions are bought and billed through your Apple ID. The price is shown in the app, in your local currency, before you confirm.
- Automatic renewal. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each period, at the then-current price, unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the period ends. Your Apple ID is charged within 24 hours before renewal.
- Free trials. If a free trial is offered, it converts to a paid subscription when it ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours before then. Any unused part of a trial ends when you subscribe.
- Cancelling. Manage or cancel your subscription in iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep Plus until the end of the current period. Deleting the app or your Hypnofy account does not cancel a subscription.
- Refunds. Apple handles all payments and refunds under its own policies. You can request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com.
- Price changes. If the price of Plus changes, Apple will let you know in advance as its rules require, and may ask you to agree to the new price.
6. Your content
"Your content" means what you put into Hypnofy: your answers to the intake questions, scripts you write or edit, and your check-ins. You keep ownership of your content. You give us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free permission to process your content only as needed to run the Service for you, for example to write and voice your sessions. Our servers don't store your answers or scripts after a session is made; see the Privacy Policy.
Please don't include other people's private information, or anything you don't have the right to share, in what you give Hypnofy.
7. Personalized sessions
Sessions are written for you automatically by artificial intelligence, guided by our structure, instructions and safety checks, and read aloud by a synthetic voice. Because they are generated, sessions may occasionally contain wording that is inaccurate, unexpected or not right for you. Use your own judgment, skip or stop anything that doesn't feel right, and let us know at support@hypnofy.app. Subject to these Terms, you may use sessions made for you for your own personal, non-commercial listening.
8. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use the Service for anyone other than yourself, or to make sessions intended to influence another person without their knowledge;
- use the Service for any unlawful, harmful or abusive purpose, or to create content that harasses or harms others;
- try to get around safety checks, usage limits or subscription features;
- use the Service, its API or its voices as a general text-to-speech or text-generation service;
- copy, resell, sublicense or commercially exploit the Service or its sessions;
- reverse engineer, scrape, overload or interfere with the Service, except where the law expressly allows it.
9. Our intellectual property
The Service, including the app, website, design, session structure, templates, the Hypnofy name and logo, and the iceberg artwork, belongs to Hypnofy or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app on Apple devices you own or control, under these Terms and the App Store's usage rules. If you send us feedback or ideas, we may use them without any obligation to you.
10. Third-party services
The Service relies on providers such as Apple (sign-in, payments, speech recognition), Supabase (accounts and hosting), Anthropic (writing scripts) and Google Cloud (voices). Links to outside resources, including crisis lines, are offered for your convenience; we don't control those services and aren't responsible for them.
11. Disclaimers
To the fullest extent the law allows, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free or produce any particular result. Experiences of hypnosis vary from person to person, and we don't promise any specific outcome. Some places don't allow these exclusions, so some of them may not apply to you.
12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Hypnofy and its founders, team and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits or goodwill, arising from or related to your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for the Service in the 12 months before the claim arose, or US$50. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
13. Indemnity
To the extent the law allows, you agree to defend and hold Hypnofy harmless from claims, losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) that arise from your misuse of the Service or your breach of these Terms.
14. Ending your use
You can stop using Hypnofy and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms, if we need to for legal or safety reasons, or if we stop offering the Service; where reasonable, we'll tell you first. Sections that by their nature should survive, such as disclaimers, limitation of liability and governing law, survive termination.
15. Apple App Store terms
If you got the app from the Apple App Store, these additional terms apply:
- These Terms are between you and Hypnofy, not Apple. Hypnofy, not Apple, is solely responsible for the app and its content.
- Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
- If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price, if any. To the maximum extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app.
- Hypnofy, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims relating to the app, including product liability claims, claims that it fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer protection claims.
- Hypnofy, not Apple, is responsible for investigating and resolving any claim that the app infringes a third party's intellectual property rights.
- You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a US government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any US government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- You must also comply with any applicable third-party terms when using the app.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
16. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of any mandatory laws of the country where you live. Before starting any formal dispute, please contact us at support@hypnofy.app so we can try to resolve it informally.
17. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If a change is significant, we'll tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use the Service after the change means you accept the updated Terms. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. We may transfer these Terms, and the operation of Hypnofy, to a company we form to run it; if we do, we'll tell you, and these Terms and your rights under them stay the same. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Hypnofy about the Service.
