Terms of
Service

Effective: May 8, 2025 App: DreamBound Operator: Mahara Tech

These Terms govern your use of the DreamBound application. By using DreamBound, you agree to these Terms.

// 01

Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using DreamBound, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the app. These Terms constitute a binding agreement between you and Mahara Tech, operator of DreamBound.

You must be at least 18 years old to use DreamBound. By using the app, you represent that you meet this requirement.

// 02

The Service

DreamBound is a goal achievement platform that helps users set, plan, track, and complete personal and professional goals through AI-generated roadmaps, progress tracking, gamification, and optional mentorship features.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of significant changes.

// 03

Accounts

You may create an account using email and password or Google Sign-In. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it updated. Accounts are non-transferable. You may delete your account at any time via Settings → Delete Account or by contacting dev@mahara.tech.

Reasonable Use & Fair Use Policy (FUP)

DreamBound Pro is designed for individual, personal use. While Pro includes unlimited AI roadmaps, goals, and help questions, all access is subject to this Reasonable Use and Fair Use Policy.

What "Unlimited" Means

"Unlimited" means there is no hard quota imposed on your personal use of covered features. It does not mean unrestricted or automated use at any volume or frequency.

Prohibited Usage

Not Permitted Under Pro
  • Automated or programmatic access to AI features (bots, scripts, scrapers)
  • Using DreamBound to generate content at volume for resale or commercial distribution
  • Sharing a single Pro account among multiple people
  • Generating AI roadmaps or plans for third parties as a commercial service
  • Any use that degrades performance or availability for other users

What We May Do

If we determine your usage exceeds what a reasonable individual user would generate, or violates this FUP, we may: (a) notify you and request that you reduce usage; (b) temporarily throttle access; or (c) in cases of serious or repeated abuse, suspend or terminate your account. We will always try to contact you first before taking action.

In practice: If you are using DreamBound as an individual to manage your own goals and development, you will never need to worry about this policy. It exists solely to protect the platform from abuse.

Free Plan Extras

Free tier users may earn additional AI quota through in-app activities (watching ads, earning points). These bonus credits are also subject to reasonable personal use and cannot be accumulated or transferred to other accounts.

// 06

Payments & Billing

Pro subscriptions are processed by Google Play Billing and managed by RevenueCat. By subscribing, you agree to Google Play's payment terms. We do not have access to your payment card details.

Free Trial

New Pro subscribers receive a 7-day free trial. You will not be charged during the trial period. Your subscription will auto-renew at the end of the trial unless you cancel before it ends.

Auto-Renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled. You may cancel at any time through the Google Play subscription management page. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — you retain Pro access until then.

Refunds

Refund requests are handled by Google Play according to their refund policy. We do not issue refunds directly. If you experience a billing issue, contact dev@mahara.tech and we will assist.

// 07

Your Content

You retain ownership of all content you create in DreamBound — your goals, descriptions, notes, and uploaded images. By using DreamBound, you grant Mahara Tech a limited, non-exclusive license to store, process, and display your content solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you.

We do not sell your content or use it to train AI models. AI prompts sent on your behalf do not include your personal identifiers.

// 08

Acceptable Use

You agree not to use DreamBound to:

Prohibited Conduct
  • Violate any applicable law or regulation
  • Harass, abuse, or harm other users
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service or its systems
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the app
  • Upload malicious content, spam, or illegal material
  • Impersonate another person or entity
  • Use the Service in any way that could damage, disable, or impair it
// 09

AI Features

DreamBound uses AI (currently powered by DeepSeek via Firebase Cloud Functions) to generate goal plans and coaching responses. AI-generated content is provided for personal planning purposes only.

AI-generated plans and advice are not a substitute for professional advice (medical, legal, financial, psychological or otherwise). DreamBound makes no warranty that AI outputs are accurate, complete, or suitable for your circumstances. You use AI-generated content at your own discretion.

We may change the underlying AI provider at any time. Prompts sent to AI providers are governed by this policy and our Privacy Policy — your personal identifiers are not included.

// 10

Mentorship Feature

DreamBound includes optional peer mentorship features that allow users to offer and receive guidance. Mentors set their own terms and pricing. Mahara Tech facilitates the platform but is not a party to any mentorship arrangement.

Mentorship payments are processed in-app and records are retained for dispute resolution. Mahara Tech is not responsible for the quality, accuracy, or outcomes of mentorship sessions. Users engage in mentorship at their own risk.

Any disputes between mentors and mentees should first be resolved between the parties. If resolution is not possible, contact dev@mahara.tech for assistance.

// 11

Intellectual Property

All intellectual property in DreamBound — including the app design, code, branding, graphics, and text — is owned by Mahara Tech or its licensors. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use our trademarks, logos, or proprietary materials without prior written permission.

You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works of DreamBound without explicit written consent.

// 12

Disclaimers

DreamBound is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mahara Tech disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. Goal achievement depends on your own effort and circumstances — DreamBound is a tool, not a guarantee of results.

// 13

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Mahara Tech and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use DreamBound.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid to us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $10, whichever is greater.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitations of liability — in those cases, our liability is limited to the minimum permitted by applicable law.

// 14

Termination

You may stop using DreamBound and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent or abusive behaviour, or if we are required to do so by law.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends immediately. Account data will be deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will do so, including but not limited to intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitations of liability.

// 15

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms as DreamBound evolves. For significant changes, we will notify you via in-app notification and update the effective date. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

If you do not agree to updated Terms, you must stop using DreamBound and delete your account.
