Terms

Effective and last updated November 4, 2026

BuddyPad is made by Built By Mo LLC. By using it you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use it. Questions go to buddypad@builtbymo.dev.

Who can use it

You need to be 18 or older.

You sign in with your own Apple or Google account, and you're responsible for what happens under it.

It's free for now

BuddyPad costs nothing today. We may charge for some of it later. If we do, we'll tell you first, and you won't pay anything unless you agree to.

You and your buddy

Each list has two people on it. Your buddy can see what you share with them. You own what you write. You give Built By Mo LLC permission to store it, back it up, copy it, send it through our service providers, show it to the people you've shared it with and to tools they connect, and use it to handle reports and enforce these terms. That permission is only for running BuddyPad. It ends when your content is deleted, except for what stays under the privacy policy, such as reports and backups that haven't rolled off. Only post what you have the right to post. We can't promise your buddy won't screenshot something or tell someone, so share what you're comfortable with them having.

We don't check what buddies do with each other. Keeping your goals is up to you. BuddyPad isn't medical, mental health, legal or financial advice, and it isn't a crisis service. Don't rely on a reminder or a buddy for medicine or anything urgent. If you're in danger, call 911. If you're thinking about hurting yourself, call or text 988.

What's not allowed

We have no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. Don't use BuddyPad to:

• harass, threaten or spam anyone;
• post anything illegal, or any sexual content involving a minor, which we'll report;
• post someone's private details or intimate images without their consent;
• pretend to be someone else;
• break the app, get at other people's data, or get around its limits;
• post sexual, hateful or violent content meant to hurt or demean someone; encourage self-harm; infringe someone's copyright; or do anything that breaks the law or someone else's rights.

We don't read lists as a routine. If someone reports a problem, we read what's involved and aim to act within 24 hours. We can remove content or close an account that breaks these rules, and we'll report child sexual abuse material to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

To have an intimate image taken down, see Remove an intimate image.

Removing a buddy

You can remove a buddy at any time. That ends your shared list and stops them inviting you again. You each keep your own goals. If someone is bothering you, go to Me, tap their name, and use Remove or Report a problem. You can also report a single comment or photo where you see it.

Ending your account

You can delete your account in the app whenever you want. The delete page says what goes and what your buddy sees. We can close an account that breaks these rules. If we ever shut BuddyPad down, we'll try to give you 30 days' notice, and you can email us for a copy of your data.

The public API

You can connect your own tools with a token. A tool you connect can read your goals, your buddies' shared goals and your conversations. Depending on its permissions, it can also change or delete goals and message your buddy as you. It can't see photos.

You can use the API to build tools for your own account. If your tool stores or sends on anything your buddy wrote, that's their data. Keep it safe, use it only for what you built the tool to do, don't sell it or share it, and delete it when your buddy's list ends or they ask you to. You're responsible for what your tool does and where your webhooks send data, and you'll cover our costs if your tool or your use of the API gets us sued.

Stay inside the rate limits, and don't scrape BuddyPad, resell the API, or use it to reach anyone else's data. We can change limits, revoke a token, or pause a webhook at any time, and we can end the API. It comes with the same no-warranty terms as the rest of BuddyPad, and it's free for now.

If we make a change that would break working code, we put it in a new version and try to keep the old one working for at least 6 months after we post the notice on the versioning page. We may move faster for security, for legal reasons, or if we shut BuddyPad down.

No warranty

BuddyPad is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE," with no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We work hard on it, but it can go down, a notification can arrive late or never, and data can be lost. To the extent the law allows, Built By Mo LLC isn't liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses, and its total liability for anything to do with BuddyPad is limited to $100. None of this limits liability for fraud, willful injury, breaking the law, or anything else the law doesn't let us limit, and it doesn't take away consumer rights that can't be waived.

Changes

If we change these terms, we'll update this page and the date at the top. If it's a big change, we'll email your sign-in address or tell you in the app at least 30 days before it applies. If you keep using BuddyPad after that date, the new terms apply. If you don't agree, delete your account before then. A change never applies to a dispute that has already started.

The law that applies

California law governs these terms, without regard to its conflict of law rules. If you have a problem, email us first and give us 30 days to fix it. After that, either of us can go to court. You can use small claims court where you live. Anything else goes to the state or federal courts in Los Angeles County, California. If your state gives you rights that can't be waived, you keep them.

If you got BuddyPad from the App Store

These terms are between you and Built By Mo LLC, not Apple. Apple's standard license applies to the app, Apple owes no support or warranty, and Built By Mo LLC, not Apple, handles any claims about the app. You confirm you're not in a country under a U.S. embargo and not on a U.S. list of restricted parties. You'll follow any third-party terms that apply, such as your data plan. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and can enforce them against you.

The rest

These terms are the whole agreement between us about BuddyPad. If part of them can't be enforced, the rest still applies. If we don't enforce something, we can still enforce it later. You can't transfer these terms, and we can transfer them if BuddyPad is sold. Parts that should outlast your account do, including permission for what stays under the privacy policy, the no-warranty terms and the law that applies.
