Terms of Use

Last updated · 18 July 2026

These terms govern your use of the Cara app and website. Cara is meant to be simple and kind; we’ve tried to keep these terms the same way.

1. Who we are

Cara is operated by Cara App Limited (“we”, “us”), a company registered in Northern Ireland (company number NI742229) with its registered office at 32 Brandon Parade, Belfast, BT4 1JH. You can reach us at support@trycara.app.

2. What Cara is

Cara is an accountability app: you set routines and one-off tasks, share them with one or more accountability partners, and each of you can see the other’s progress and send encouragement (“nudges”). If you allow it, your partner is notified when a routine goes unticked past its grace period.

Cara is a motivation tool, not a medical, psychological or professional service. It is not a substitute for professional advice, and you shouldn’t rely on it for anything health-critical.

3. Your account

You must be at least 13 years old to use Cara.
Give us accurate information and keep your password secure. You’re responsible for activity on your account.
You can delete your account at any time in Settings → Delete account. This permanently removes your data (see the Privacy Policy).

4. Subscriptions and billing

Cara is an auto-renewing subscription: £2.99 per month or £24.99 per year, starting with a 14-day free trial. Prices in other regions are set by Apple and shown before you subscribe.
Payment is charged to your Apple ID when the trial ends, and the subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
Manage or cancel any time in your device’s App Store subscription settings — deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
Refunds are handled by Apple under their terms.
If prices change, we’ll give you notice in advance; continuing to subscribe after a change takes effect means you accept the new price.
None of this affects your statutory rights as a consumer under the law of Northern Ireland and the UK.

5. Partners and shared visibility

When you connect with a partner, they can see the routines you share, whether you’ve completed them, and your profile (name, username, photo).
You control whether your partner is notified about missed routines (Settings → Notifications) and whether your profile is findable by username (Settings → Privacy).
You can end a partnership at any time from the Partners tab; it is removed for both of you.

6. Acceptable use

Don’t use Cara to:

harass, bully or intimidate anyone — nudges are for encouragement;
impersonate another person or misrepresent who you are;
attempt to access other users’ data, probe or disrupt our systems, or reverse-engineer the app;
do anything unlawful.

There is no tolerance for objectionable content or for abusive behaviour towards other people. Anyone who posts it may have their account removed without warning.

Every routine, note, comment and group message is written by the person who posted it, not by us. If you see something objectionable, report it: open the person’s profile in the app and choose Report or block, or write to support@trycara.app. We read every report, usually within a day, and we remove content and accounts that break these rules. Blocking someone takes effect immediately: you stop seeing each other, any routines you shared end, and neither of you can contact the other again.

7. Your content

Your routines, tasks, photos and messages are yours. You give us the limited licence needed to store and display them to you and the partners you choose — nothing more. We never sell your content or use it for advertising.

8. Availability and changes

We work hard to keep Cara running, but it’s provided “as is” and we can’t promise it will always be available or error-free. We may add, change or remove features. If we ever discontinue Cara, we’ll give you reasonable notice so you can export your data.

9. Liability

Nothing in these terms limits liability that can’t be limited by law. Otherwise, our liability to you is limited to the amount you’ve paid us in the 12 months before the claim. We’re not liable for indirect losses, or for what your partner does with information you chose to share with them.

10. Changes to these terms

If we make material changes, we’ll notify you in the app or by email before they take effect. Continuing to use Cara after that means you accept the updated terms.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of Northern Ireland, and disputes belong to the courts of Northern Ireland — though nothing removes protections you have under the mandatory laws of where you live.
