PairCafe

Terms

The deal between us.

Last updated

The short version

Pair Cafe (often just “Pair”) is a small, two-person todo app. Use it to share things with one other person you actually want to do them with. Don’t use it to do anything illegal or harmful. You own what you put in; we’ll do our best to keep the lights on, but we can’t promise perfection.

The full terms are below. By creating an account or signing in, you agree to them.

1. Who’s agreeing to what

These Terms of Service form a binding agreement between you (the person using Pair Cafe) and Thesis Labs, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Thesis Labs,” “Pair Cafe,” “Pair,” “we,” or “us”), the operator of the Service at pair.cafeand in the Pair Cafe iOS and Android applications. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Service.

2. The Service

Pair Cafe is a private, two-person shared todo and bucket-list service available on the web, iOS, and Android. A single account belongs to one person; an account can be paired with exactly one partner via an invite link, and the resulting couple is the unit that owns todos, completion notes, photos, and reactions.

Pair Cafe is intentionally not a social network. There are no feeds, followers, recommendations, or ads. We may add or remove features from time to time as we improve the Service.

3. Eligibility and accounts

  • You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age in your jurisdiction for online services, whichever is higher.
  • You're responsible for protecting your password and keeping access to the email address used for password recovery. Do not share recovery links or active sessions.
  • You're responsible for everything that happens in your account, including content your partner adds while connected to you.
  • You may have only one Pair account. If you want to start a fresh couple with a new partner, leave the existing one first.

4. Acceptable use

By using Pair you agree not to:

  • Use the Service for anything illegal, fraudulent, abusive, or designed to harass another person.
  • Upload content that is illegal where you live, infringes someone else's rights, or that you don't have permission to share — including photos of people who haven't consented to be uploaded.
  • Reverse engineer, scrape, or attempt to access the Service in any way other than through the official UI and documented public endpoints.
  • Try to break, overload, or test the security of Pair without first contacting us.
  • Impersonate another person, or invite someone you have no consensual relationship with.
  • Misuse reporting, blocking, or support tools to harass someone or submit knowingly false reports.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules — see Termination below.

You can report a connected partner or their content from the native apps. Blocking archives the relationship for both people and prevents those accounts from pairing again while the block remains. We may review reports and related content, restrict access, or preserve limited safety records as described in the Privacy Policy.

5. Your content

You and your partner own the todos, notes, photos, and reactions you put into Pair (“Your Content”). We don’t claim any ownership of it.

To run the Service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, transmit, display, resize, and back up Your Content for the sole purpose of providing Pair to you and your partner. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for backups already made in the ordinary course of operations, which are deleted on a rolling basis.

You’re responsible for the legality of what you upload. Pair will respond to valid takedown requests where applicable law requires.

6. AI features

Pair uses a third-party AI provider (currently OpenAI) for two things, and only two things:

  • Categorization — a todo's title and free-text notes may be sent so the app can suggest one or two category labels. Whenever a completed item that has attached media is categorized — including automatically when you log a memory with photos or edit a completed item, not only when you tap refresh — up to four of its completion photos or short clips may also be sent so the suggestion can use visual context. Categorizations are suggestions; you can change them at any time.
  • Recaps — when a monthly or on-request recap is generated, up to sixteen of your completion photos or clips may be sent for content tagging, along with todo titles, category counts, and short excerpts of completion notes, so the recap's titles and captions can be written. Recaps are generated for your couple only and are never shared with anyone else.

Pair does not send your name or email address for either feature, and your data is never used to train AI models. See the Privacy Policy for the full list of what each feature transmits.

7. Purchases

Pair Cafe is free to download and use. Some features (“Pair Cafe Plus”) may require a one-time purchase or other paid unlock, made through Apple’s App Store using your Apple account. The exact price is always shown by the App Store before you confirm a purchase, and may vary by country and change over time.

  • One purchase covers your couple. When either partner unlocks Plus, the shared space is unlocked for both of you for as long as the purchase remains valid.
  • Payment, billing, and refunds are handled by Apple under Apple's Media Services terms. We can't issue App Store refunds ourselves — request one from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.
  • Some things are never paywalled: inviting or joining a partner, safety tools and reporting, account deletion, purchase restore, support, and these legal pages.
  • If a purchase can't be verified (for example, Apple reports it refunded or revoked), the associated unlock may be removed.
  • Prices don't include taxes Apple may collect on top, depending on your country.

Deleting your account does not automatically cancel or refund anything you bought through Apple — manage purchases in your App Store account settings.

8. Notifications

If you opt in to browser or native device push, Pair will send notifications about activity on your shared list. You can disable push or any individual category from Settings → Notifications; you can also revoke permission in your browser or operating-system settings. Account-management emails are transactional and you can’t opt out of them while you have an active account.

9. Beta features and changes

Pair is built and maintained by a small team. Features may change, launch in a rough state, or go away entirely. When we make changes that materially reduce functionality, we’ll do our best to tell you in advance through the app.

10. Termination

You can stop using Pair at any time:

  • Sign out from Settings → Account.
  • Leave your couple from Settings → Danger zone. The couple is archived for your partner.
  • Delete your account entirely from Settings → Danger zone. Your profile and the entire couple — including every todo, photo, comment, and recap you and your partner created together — are removed immediately. This can't be undone, and your partner loses access to that shared content too.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, if your continued use puts other users or the Service at risk, or if we’re required to by law. Where reasonable we’ll contact you first.

11. Service is provided “as is”

Pair is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We don’t guarantee the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for a particular purpose, and we don’t warrant that it will preserve every photo or note exactly as you left it (though we obviously try). Back up anything you can’t afford to lose.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Thesis Labs and its operators won’t be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the Service, including loss of data, loss of profits, or emotional distress. Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of these Terms or the Service is limited to the greater of $50 USD or the amount you paid us in the twelve months prior to the event giving rise to the claim.

13. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold Pair harmless from any claim or demand made by any third party arising out of content you upload, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of someone else’s rights.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute that can’t be resolved through a friendly conversation will be handled in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, and you consent to that jurisdiction.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms over time. When we make a substantive change, we’ll update the Last updated date and, where the change is material, give you reasonable notice through the app before it takes effect. Continuing to use Pair after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

16. Apple App Store terms

If you use Pair Cafe on an Apple device, these Terms are concluded between you and Thesis Labs only — not with Apple Inc. Apple has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support for the app and is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to it, including product liability, legal compliance, or intellectual-property claims. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. You represent that you are not located in an embargoed country and are not on any U.S. government restricted-party list.
