Terms of use

Terms of use.

These terms govern your use of Hermly. The short version: we license you the app for personal, non-commercial use; the underlying Apple Standard EULA applies; subscriptions auto-renew through your Apple ID; and Hermly is for informational use only — it does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition.

Last updated 2026-05-16. This page is a plain-language summary plus Hermly-specific addenda; the binding legal text is the Apple Standard EULA linked below, as modified by the addenda in section 3.

1. Acceptance

By downloading, installing, or using Hermly (the “App”) on an Apple device, you accept these terms and the incorporated Apple Standard End User License Agreement (“Apple EULA”). If you do not accept these terms, do not use the App.

2. The Apple Standard EULA applies

Hermly is distributed through the Apple App Store. Your use of Hermly is governed by Apple's Standard End User License Agreement unless a separate written agreement is signed between you and Hermly. The Apple EULA covers the licence grant, permitted uses, restrictions, services and materials, transfer, consent to use of data, termination, and external services.

Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these terms and is entitled to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary of the Apple EULA.

3. Hermly-specific addenda

The following addenda apply on top of the Apple EULA and take precedence where they conflict.

  • Subscriptions. Hermly Pro is a recurring auto-renewing subscription billed through your Apple ID at the price shown on the in-app paywall. Renewal occurs automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Cancel anytime from Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions on your device. Refunds are handled by Apple per Apple's policies.
  • Free trial. If a free trial is offered, it converts to a paid subscription at the end of the trial window unless cancelled before the trial ends.
  • Health data. Your Apple Health, cycle, sleep, attack, pain, and medication records stay on your iPhone (see the Privacy promise for the complete data-flow description). Hermly's servers do not store any of that data and we cannot recover it on your behalf.
  • Research opt-in (optional). When you opt into anonymous research observations in Settings, you grant Hermly a non-exclusive licence to use the pseudonymous observations described in the research consent document for the research purposes stated there. You may withdraw at any time and pending observations will be deleted within seven days.
  • Doctor / partner sharing. When you share a Doctor Report PDF or open Spouse Mode, you initiate that transfer. The recipient is responsible for handling and storing whatever you share with them; Hermly is not a party to that downstream use.

4. Medical disclaimer

Hermly is not a medical device. It is a consumer wellness app providing informational risk assessments and pattern observations from your self-reported and Apple Health data. Hermly does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition. Predictions are probabilistic estimates, not clinical diagnoses, and should not replace consultation with a qualified clinician.

Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something the App suggested. In an emergency (sudden severe headache unlike previous attacks, neurological symptoms, etc.), contact your local emergency services or your clinician immediately.

5. Termination

You may stop using Hermly at any time by uninstalling the App. Your in-app data is removed when you delete the App; the encrypted iCloud copy, if any, is governed by Apple's iCloud terms. Hermly may suspend or terminate your access if these terms are materially breached.

6. Disclaimer of warranties; limitation of liability

The App is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranty of any kind, express or implied, except where prohibited by law. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Hermly and its suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data or profits arising out of or related to your use of the App. The provisions in section 4 of the Apple EULA apply to liability between you and Apple.

7. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be surfaced in-app on next launch and the “Last updated” date at the top of this page will change. Continued use after such notice constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

Status

This page is a plain-language draft intended for App Store submission alongside the Apple Standard EULA. The binding obligations remain the Apple EULA plus the addenda in section 3. The full text is pending legal review prior to launch; meaningful changes that affect user rights will be surfaced in-app and dated at the top of this page.
