Terms of Service
Last updated: March 2026
These Terms of Service govern your use of applications developed and operated by Minn Studio, including Motavi — a goal-tracking application available on iOS and Android. By downloading, installing, or using any Minn Studio application, you agree to be bound by these terms.
Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using any Minn Studio application ("Service"), you confirm that you are at least 13 years of age (or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher), that you have read and understood these Terms of Service ("Terms"), and that you agree to be legally bound by them. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must immediately discontinue use of the Service and uninstall any related applications from your devices.
Your continued use of the Service after any modifications to these Terms constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of material changes through the application or via email associated with your account.
User Accounts
To access the full functionality of our applications, you must create an account. Authentication is handled via Firebase Authentication, and we support the following sign-in methods:
- Email & Password: Register with an email address and a password you create and manage.
- Sign in with Google: Authenticate using your existing Google account via OAuth 2.0.
- Sign in with Apple: Authenticate using your Apple ID, with the option to hide your email address using Apple's private email relay.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately at minndevstd@gmail.com if you suspect any unauthorized access to or use of your account.
You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep that information up to date. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that contain false or misleading information, or that violate these Terms.
You may not create more than one account per person, transfer your account to another individual, or use another person's account without their explicit permission.
Subscriptions & Payments
3.1 Subscription Plans
Certain features of our applications require a paid subscription. Subscription plans, pricing, and included features are described within the application and may be updated from time to time. We may offer monthly, annual, or other billing cycles as well as promotional or introductory pricing.
3.2 Payment Processing
Subscription management and payment processing are handled through RevenueCat in conjunction with the relevant app store platform — Apple App Store (via StoreKit) or Google Play Billing. All purchases are subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable app store. Minn Studio does not directly store or process your payment card information.
3.3 Auto-Renewal
Unless you cancel before the end of the current billing period, your subscription will automatically renew at the then-current price for an equivalent billing cycle. You authorize the applicable app store to charge the payment method on file at the time of each renewal. You will be notified of any price changes prior to the renewal in accordance with app store policies.
3.4 Cancellation
You may cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple App Store or Google Play account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you will retain access to paid features until that date. Minn Studio does not offer refunds for partial billing periods except where required by applicable law or app store policy.
3.5 Free Trials
We may offer free trials for subscription plans. At the end of a free trial, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription unless you cancel before the trial period ends. Only one free trial per person per product is permitted.
3.6 Price Changes
We reserve the right to modify subscription pricing. We will provide reasonable advance notice of any price increase. Your continued use of the Service following a price change constitutes your acceptance of the new pricing.
For refund requests or billing issues, please contact your app store directly. For general subscription inquiries, reach us at minndevstd@gmail.com.
User Content & Data
4.1 Your Content
"User Content" refers to any data or information you create, enter, or upload within our applications, including but not limited to: goals, habit definitions, progress entries, notes, completion logs, and any other tracking data you generate through your use of Motavi or other Minn Studio applications.
You retain full ownership of your User Content. By using the Service, you grant Minn Studio a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, process, and transmit your User Content solely for the purpose of providing and improving the Service to you.
4.2 Data Storage

4.3 Data Accuracy
Minn Studio makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any User Content. You are solely responsible for the accuracy of the data you enter into our applications, and you agree not to rely on the Service as your sole record for any critical personal, medical, or financial information.
4.4 Data Export & Deletion
You may request an export of your User Content or the deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us at minndevstd@gmail.com. We will process such requests in accordance with applicable data protection laws and our Privacy Policy. Note that some residual data may be retained in backups for a limited period following deletion requests.
4.5 No Warranty on Data Retention
We recommend that you regularly export or back up your User Content. While we take reasonable precautions to prevent data loss, Minn Studio is not liable for any loss or corruption of User Content arising from technical failures, user error, or account termination.
