Terms of Use

Last updated: [DATE] · Applies to the Kept web app at [YOUR-DOMAIN]
The short version

Nothing you order on Kept is real. Every restaurant, shop, product, price, review, and delivery driver is invented. No order is ever placed with anyone. No payment is ever taken. Nothing is ever delivered. The “money kept” and the “Vault” are illustrations of money you chose not to spend — Kept does not hold, move, or invest any funds.

1. What Kept is

Kept is an entertainment and self-help app that simulates the experience of placing an impulse order — browsing, customizing, checking out, and watching a delivery — and then shows you the amount you did not spend.

By using Kept you confirm you understand that the entire experience is a simulation.

2. No real orders, no charges

3. The Kept Vault is simulated — not a financial service

The Vault displays a running total of amounts you chose not to spend, plus illustrative growth projections based on a fixed assumed annual rate.

[IF YOU EVER CONNECT REAL ACCOUNTS OR MOVE REAL FUNDS, THIS SECTION MUST BE REWRITTEN BY COUNSEL AND YOU WILL LIKELY NEED A LICENSED PARTNER AND ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES.]

4. Not medical or mental-health care

Kept includes mood check-ins and describes patterns in your behavior. This is for personal reflection only. Kept is not a medical device and does not provide diagnosis, treatment, or therapy for any condition, including compulsive spending, eating disorders, or addiction.

If you are struggling with compulsive spending, disordered eating, or your mental health, please contact a qualified professional. [CONSIDER LISTING RELEVANT SUPPORT RESOURCES FOR YOUR MARKETS.]

5. Fictional brands

All stores, products, menus, prices, ratings, reviews, and couriers in Kept are fictional and were created by us. Any resemblance to a real business is coincidental or parodic, and does not imply affiliation with, endorsement by, or sponsorship from anyone.

The “fake-order anything” feature lets you type a description of something you personally want. That text is stored only on your device and is not published, shared, or used commercially by us. You are responsible for what you type; please do not enter anything unlawful or anyone else’s personal information.

6. Acceptable use

Please do not:

7. Your data

Kept stores your activity on your own device. We do not hold a copy, and clearing your browser data erases it permanently. See the Privacy Policy. Because there is no backup, we cannot restore lost progress.

8. Intellectual property

The Kept name, app, design, code, and all fictional stores, product names, and written content are owned by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME] and protected by intellectual property law. You may use the app for personal, non-commercial purposes. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

9. Availability

Kept is provided free and “as is”. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of it at any time, including limited-time seasonal content, without notice.

10. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Kept is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that it will produce any particular financial, behavioral, or emotional outcome.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, [LEGAL ENTITY NAME] will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, savings, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of Kept. [ADD A LIABILITY CAP AND ANY JURISDICTION-SPECIFIC CARVE-OUTS — SOME CONSUMER PROTECTIONS CANNOT BE WAIVED. GET COUNSEL.]

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. Material changes will be reflected here with a new “last updated” date. Continuing to use Kept after a change means you accept the updated terms.

12. Governing law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of [JURISDICTION], without regard to conflict-of-law rules. [ADD DISPUTE-RESOLUTION / VENUE / ARBITRATION TERMS IF DESIRED — GET COUNSEL.]
