1. Acceptance
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the SYNTHARON application for iPhone and Apple Watch (the "App") and the website at which you are reading them (the "Site"), together the "Service," provided by SYNTHARON ("we," "us"). By creating an account, subscribing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
2. Eligibility and accounts
- You must be at least 16 years old (or the age of digital consent where you live) and able to form a binding contract.
- You sign in with Sign in with Apple. You are responsible for keeping your Apple ID secure and for everything done through your account.
- One account per person. Provide accurate information and keep it current.
- You can delete your account at any time from inside the App (Settings → Account → Delete account). See section 10.
3. License to use the App
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on Apple devices you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service, for your own personal development. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, rent, reverse-engineer or create derivative works of the App, use automated means to access it, or circumvent any paywall, rate limit or security measure.
4. Subscriptions, trials and billing
- Free tier. The first step of the Path, aim definition, a text statement, the daily recitation reminder and a basic streak are free.
- Premium. Everything else requires a SYNTHARON Premium subscription, currently US $14.99 per month or US $99.99 per year. Prices may vary by country and are shown in the App before purchase.
- Free trial. New subscribers receive a 7-day free trial. The trial converts to a paid subscription unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. One trial per Apple ID.
- Auto-renewal. Subscriptions are purchased through Apple's in-app purchase system, billed to your Apple ID, and renew automatically at the end of each period at the then-current price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before renewal. Manage or cancel in iOS Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription.
- Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies; we cannot issue them directly.
- Changes. We may change prices or what is included in a tier with notice in the App. Price changes apply at your next renewal and Apple will ask you to agree where required.
- A limited Founders lifetime offer, if made, is governed by the terms shown with that offer.
5. AI features
Ignimani, the Council of Invisible Counselors, AI plan generation, the AI Facilitator and related features are generated by artificial intelligence and are labeled as such in the App. You acknowledge that:
- AI output can be inaccurate, incomplete or inappropriate. You are responsible for evaluating it and for every decision you make.
- Counselors are AI personas inspired by the publicly known ideas of historical figures. They are not those people, do not speak for them, and are not endorsed by them, their estates or any foundation. Custom counselors you create are subject to the same rule and must not impersonate a real person in a misleading way.
- You will not use AI features to generate content that is unlawful, harassing, hateful, sexually explicit, or that attempts to extract another person's private information.
- We may apply usage limits to AI features to keep the Service reliable for everyone.
More detail is on the About the AI page.
6. No professional advice, no guarantees
SYNTHARON is a personal development tool built on Napoleon Hill's 1937 text. It is not financial, investment, tax, legal, medical or mental-health advice, and it is not therapy. Nothing in the Service, including anything said by Ignimani or a counselor, is a promise or guarantee of income, wealth, business success, health or any other outcome. Your results depend on your aims, circumstances and effort. Consult a qualified professional before making financial, legal or health decisions. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 in the United States or contact your local emergency services.
7. Your content
- You own the content you create in the Service: your aim, statement, recordings, plans, reflections, ideas, messages and anything else you put in ("Your Content").
- You grant us a limited license to host, store, process, transmit and display Your Content solely to operate and improve the Service for you and for the people you choose to share it with, and to the providers named in the Privacy Policy for that purpose. We do not use Your Content to train AI models and do not sell it.
- Content you share into a Mastermind group or with an accountability partner is visible to them under the sharing settings you choose. Other members may retain copies of what they have already received.
- You are responsible for Your Content and must have the rights to anything you upload.
- We may remove content that violates these Terms.
8. Groups, meetings and conduct
Mastermind groups and accountability features involve other people. You agree to:
- Treat other members with respect. No harassment, threats, hate speech, discrimination, sexual content, spam, or solicitation of money, investments or multi-level marketing.
- Not record a meeting by any means outside the App's consent-gated recording feature, and not share recordings, transcripts or notes outside the group without every participant's permission.
- Not share another member's aim, progress or personal information outside the group.
- Not impersonate anyone or misrepresent your identity.
- Respect the group owner's decisions, including removal from a group.
You can report any member or message and block anyone. Messages are checked by automated moderation and reports are reviewed by a person. We may warn, restrict, suspend or terminate accounts that break these rules. Meeting recording happens only when every participant has accepted the on-screen consent prompt; by accepting, you consent to being recorded and transcribed for that meeting and to the AI Facilitator producing notes that are shared with the group.
9. Intellectual property and third-party rights
- The App, Site, the SYNTHARON name, the Council Seal, the Ignimani persona, our original lessons, exercises, audio, visualizations, designs and code are our property or licensed to us, protected by copyright and trademark law. Nothing in these Terms gives you a license to them beyond section 3.
- Think and Grow Rich (1937) is in the public domain in the United States. Quotations and principles drawn from it are used on that basis. SYNTHARON is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the Napoleon Hill Foundation or the estate of Napoleon Hill.
- Historical figures referenced in the Council are used as sources of inspiration for clearly labeled AI personas. No affiliation with or endorsement by any such person, estate or institution is claimed.
- Apple, iPhone, Apple Watch, TestFlight and related marks are trademarks of Apple Inc. Other names belong to their owners.
- If you believe content in the Service infringes your rights, write to legal@syntharon.com.
10. Termination and deletion
You may stop using the Service at any time and may delete your account from inside the App, which deletes your data as described in the Privacy Policy. Deleting your account does not cancel an active subscription; cancel it in your Apple ID settings. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service, in which case we will give reasonable notice where possible. Sections 6, 7 (as to copies already shared), 9, 11 and 13 survive termination.
11. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT AI OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SYNTHARON AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE OR RELIANCE ON ANY CONTENT, INCLUDING AI OUTPUT. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR US $100, WHICHEVER IS GREATER. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions; in those places our liability is limited to the extent permitted.
You agree to indemnify us against claims arising from Your Content or your breach of these Terms.

- Apple has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support for the App.
- If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation.

13. Governing law and general terms
- Governing law and venue will be stated here at launch once the publishing entity and its jurisdiction are finalized. Nothing in these Terms removes mandatory consumer protections that apply where you live.
- Changes. We may update these Terms. We will post the new version here and, for material changes, notify you in the App before they take effect. Continued use after that date means you accept them.
- Entire agreement; severability; waiver. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the Service. If any part is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Failure to enforce a term is not a waiver.
- Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
