Terms of Use

Last updated 14 November 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and GROW (“we”, “us”) for using the GROW iPhone app and web app. By creating an account or using GROW, you agree to them and to our Privacy Policy.

1. Who can use GROW

You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age in your country if that's higher, and able to agree to these terms. If you're under 18, a parent or guardian should review them with you. You can't use GROW if we've removed your account before.

2. Your account

• Give your real name or a name your friends know you by, and an email address you control.
• Keep your password to yourself. You're responsible for what happens on your account.
• One person per account. Don't impersonate anyone or create accounts to get around a block or a ban.

3. Your content

You own the photos, habits, messages and other content you post. You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, copy, resize and display it, only to run GROW: for example, to show your check-ins to the groups you post them to. The licence ends when you delete the content or your account, apart from copies in backups until they're overwritten.

You're responsible for what you post. Only post photos you have the right to share, and don't post photos of other people without their permission.

4. Acceptable use

You may not post, send or do anything that:

• harasses, bullies, threatens, intimidates or shames anyone;
• is hateful or discriminatory, or attacks people for who they are;
• is sexually explicit, contains nudity, or sexualises anyone; any content that sexualises a minor is reported to the authorities;
• shows or encourages violence, self-harm, suicide or eating disorders;
• promotes illegal activity, drugs or weapons;
• is spam, a scam, advertising, or misleading;
• shares someone else's private information, or infringes their copyright or other rights;
• impersonates a person or organisation;
• interferes with GROW: hacking, probing for weaknesses, scraping, automated access, spreading malware, or trying to reach accounts, groups or data that aren't yours.

This applies everywhere in GROW: check-in photos, habit names, group names and photos, profile names and photos, and messages.

5. Reporting and blocking

• Report any check-in from its menu. Tell us what's wrong; the person isn't told who reported them. You can also email support@growwithfriends.com about any user or content.
• Block anyone. You won't see their check-ins, messages or activity anywhere in GROW, and neither of you can nudge the other or confirm the other's check-ins. They aren't told. You can unblock them in Settings.
• We act within 24 hours. We review every report. Content that breaks these terms is removed, and the accounts of users who posted it are removed. We may also act without a report, and we may contact the authorities when someone may be in danger.

6. Groups

Groups are private: only members see what's posted in them, and anyone with a group's invite code can join it, so share codes only with people you trust. The person who creates a group owns it and can remove members or delete the group; if the owner leaves, ownership passes to the longest-standing member. When you leave a group, what you already posted there stays unless you delete it.

7. Not professional advice

GROW helps you build habits with friends. It isn't medical, fitness, nutritional or mental-health advice. Check with a professional before starting a new exercise or diet routine. Stakes in the web app are practice amounts: no money is charged, held or donated.

8. Ending your account

You can delete your account at any time in Settings → Delete account (see what it deletes). We may suspend or remove your account, and remove your content, if you break these terms, immediately where it's serious (such as anything covered by our zero-tolerance policy), if the law requires it, or to protect other users. If you think we got it wrong, email us.

9. Changes to GROW and to these terms

GROW is free, and we may change, pause or stop parts of it. When we change these terms we'll update this page and the date at the top, and tell you in the app if the change is significant. Using GROW after a change means you accept the new terms.

10. Disclaimers

GROW is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent the law allows, we make no warranties of any kind, including that GROW will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure, or that it will help you reach your goals. We aren't responsible for what other users post or do, though we act on reports as described above.

11. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, we won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost data, profits or goodwill, arising from your use of GROW. Our total liability for any claim about GROW is limited to US$50. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you, and nothing here limits rights you have under consumer protection law.

You agree to cover our reasonable losses if a claim is brought against us because of content you posted or your breach of these terms.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of [GOVERNING LAW], without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, and disputes will be handled by the courts there, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring them in your local courts.

13. Apple

If you use GROW on an Apple device:

• These terms are between you and us, not Apple. We, not Apple, are responsible for GROW, its content, maintenance and support, and for any claims about it (including product liability, legal or regulatory compliance, and intellectual property claims).
• You may use GROW on Apple devices you own or control, as allowed by the App Store Terms of Service.
• Apple has no warranty obligation for GROW. If GROW fails to meet a warranty that applies by law, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any (GROW is free).
• You confirm you're not in a country subject to a US government embargo or designated as “terrorist supporting”, and not on a US government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.
