TERMS OF USE FOR ONLYPALS
Last Updated: March 12, 2026
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the OnlyPals mobile application (the "App") operated by Digital Den LLC ("we," "our," or "us"). By downloading, installing, or using OnlyPals, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
- ELIGIBILITY
You must be at least 13 years of age to use OnlyPals. If you are under 18, you represent that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf. We reserve the right to terminate accounts that we reasonably believe belong to users under 13.
- ACCOUNT REGISTRATION AND SECURITY
2.1 Account Creation
To use OnlyPals, you must create an account using phone-based SMS verification. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep your account credentials secure.
2.2 Account Responsibility
You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately. We are not liable for any loss resulting from unauthorized access to your account.
2.3 One Account Per User
Each user may maintain only one active account. Creating multiple accounts to abuse features such as referral codes, challenges, or XP rewards may result in suspension or termination.
- USE OF THE APP
3.1 Permitted Use
OnlyPals is a personal accountability and social motivation platform. You may use the App to:
-
Adopt and track daily Points (personal accountability actions)
-
Claim Points and earn XP through morning and evening check-ins
-
Build and maintain streaks
-
Participate in challenges and leaderboards
-
Connect with Pals for social accountability
-
Share your location with all connected Pals via the Proximity feature
-
Set and upload a custom profile photo
3.2 Prohibited Conduct
You agree not to:
-
Use the App for any unlawful purpose
-
Harass, bully, threaten, or intimidate other users
-
Upload offensive, explicit, or inappropriate content as a profile photo
-
Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity
-
Attempt to manipulate XP, streaks, challenge rankings, or leaderboard positions through automated means, scripts, or exploits
-
Create fake accounts or use bots to interact with the App
-
Interfere with or disrupt the App's infrastructure, servers, or networks
-
Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the App
-
Scrape, harvest, or collect data about other users without authorization
-
Use the Proximity feature to stalk, track, or monitor another person without their knowledge or consent
3.3 Content Standards
Any content you submit (profile photos, display names, notes on Point claims) must not contain:
-
Hate speech, discriminatory language, or slurs
-
Sexually explicit or pornographic material
-
Graphic violence or threats of harm
-
Spam, advertising, or solicitations
-
Personal information of third parties without their consent
We reserve the right to remove content and suspend accounts that violate these standards without prior notice.
- POINTS, XP, AND VIRTUAL REWARDS
4.1 Nature of Virtual Items
Points, XP, streaks, levels, badges, and other virtual rewards within the App have no monetary value and cannot be exchanged for cash, credit, or any form of real-world currency. They exist solely as motivational tools within the App.
4.2 No Guarantee of Availability
We may modify, reset, or remove virtual reward systems at any time without notice. This includes changing XP values, streak mechanics, challenge reward structures, or Point availability.
4.3 Streak Mechanics
Streaks are calculated based on daily Point claims relative to your timezone. Streaks reset automatically if no Points are claimed within a calendar day. Streak freezes, where available, are a premium feature and are subject to limitations (e.g., one per week). We are not responsible for streaks lost due to app bugs, server outages, timezone changes, or device issues, though we will make reasonable efforts to address such situations.
4.4 Fair Play
You agree to earn XP and progress through legitimate use of the App. Any attempt to artificially inflate progress, exploit bugs for advantage, or manipulate challenge outcomes may result in account suspension, XP adjustment, or permanent ban.
- CHALLENGES AND LEADERBOARDS
5.1 Challenge Participation
Challenges are curated and managed by OnlyPals. By participating in a challenge, you agree to its rules and goals as displayed in the App. Challenge targets may be pro-rated for late joiners.
5.2 Leaderboard Rankings
Leaderboard rankings are based on Point claim progress and are updated in real time. Rankings are provided for motivational purposes and do not constitute a competition with prizes unless explicitly stated.
5.3 Modifications
We reserve the right to modify, pause, or end any challenge at any time, including adjusting goals, duration, or rewards. In such cases, we will make reasonable efforts to communicate changes to participants.
- SOCIAL FEATURES AND PAL CONNECTIONS
6.1 Pal Connections
You can connect with other users ("Pals") through friend codes, referral links, or contact matching. By connecting with a Pal, you agree to share certain activity data (display name, profile photo, Point activity, streaks, and challenge progress) with them.
6.2 Proximity and Location Sharing
The Proximity feature stores your location so that all connected Pals who also have Proximity enabled can detect when you are nearby. Proximity is a global, mutual system — when enabled, it applies to all of your Pal connections (there is no per-Pal opt-out for Proximity). Both users must have Proximity enabled for nearby detection to work. When two Pals are detected within range, both users receive a push notification.
Location tracking continues in the background even when the App is not actively open, and updates when you move approximately 200 meters or every 15 minutes, whichever occurs first.
The Pal Map is a separate feature that allows you to view the precise map position of Pals on a map. Pal Map visibility is controlled by individual per-Pal sharing toggles — you choose which specific Pals can see your position on the map, and they choose whether to share theirs with you.
Location data is:
-
Entirely opt-in (Proximity is off by default)
-
Used for mutual nearby detection between all connected Pals, never shared with strangers
-
Revocable at any time by toggling the feature off, which stops background tracking and marks your location as inactive
-
You are solely responsible for your decision to enable Proximity and Pal Map sharing. We are not liable for any consequences arising from your use of these features.
6.3 Kudos and Interactions
You may send kudos (emoji reactions) to Pals on their activity. All social interactions must be respectful and in accordance with the Prohibited Conduct outlined in Section 3.2.
6.4 Blocking and Removing Pals
You may remove a Pal connection at any time. Removing a Pal revokes their access to your activity data and location.
- SUBSCRIPTIONS AND PAYMENTS
7.1 Free and Premium Tiers
OnlyPals offers both free and premium features. Premium features may include multiplayer challenges, leaderboard access, streak freezes, and other functionality as described in the App.
7.2 Billing
Premium subscriptions are billed through the Apple App Store. By purchasing a subscription, you agree to Apple's payment terms. All billing, renewals, and cancellations are managed through your Apple ID account settings.
7.3 Pricing Changes

7.4 Refunds
Refund requests are handled by Apple in accordance with their refund policies. We do not process refunds directly.

Free users have no obligation to subscribe. Core accountability features (Point tracking, streaks, check-ins) are available without a subscription.
