These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a legally binding agreement between you and Edgery - Mission Evangelists, PS, doing business as HARK ("HARK," "we," "us," or "our") and govern your access to and use of the HARK mobile application, website, AI-assisted features, community features, subscriptions, content, and related services (collectively, the "Service").

By downloading, accessing, creating an account, purchasing a subscription, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

02What HARK is — and what HARK is not

HARK is a faith-based listening-prayer companion designed to help users make space for stillness, reflection, journaling, discernment, and faithful action.

HARK is not:

If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call local emergency services. In the United States, you may call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. HARK cannot monitor, respond to, or intervene in emergencies.

03AI features do not speak for God

HARK may provide AI-generated reflections, summaries, session letters, prompts, action items, themes, encouragement, or carry cards. AI output is generated by software based on the content you submit and related context you provide.

You understand and agree that AI output:

You are responsible for using your own judgment and seeking appropriate professional, pastoral, or emergency support when needed.

04Eligibility

HARK is intended for adults. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account, purchase a subscription, post to Community, join or create a Circle, submit content to AI, or use sharing features.

If HARK later allows users under 18, they may use the Service only with parent or guardian consent and under additional safeguards. HARK is not directed to children under 13. You may not use the Service if you are under 13.

By using the Service, you represent that you meet the eligibility requirements and that your use of the Service is lawful in your jurisdiction.

HARK is operated from the United States by a Virginia limited liability company. The Service may be available worldwide, but these Terms are drafted for a U.S.-based operator and may be supplemented or limited by mandatory laws in your country of residence.

05Accounts and security

You may need an account for certain features, including sync, Circle, Community, subscriptions, or account-based preferences.

You agree to:

We may refuse, suspend, restrict, or terminate accounts for violations of these Terms, suspected abuse, legal risk, security concerns, or misuse.

If the Service supports account creation, we will provide a way to initiate account deletion within the app. Deleting your HARK account does not automatically cancel Apple App Store or Google Play Store subscriptions; you must manage cancellation through the applicable app-store account settings unless the app store provides another mechanism.

06License to use HARK

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your own lawful, personal, non-commercial use.

You may not use the Service for commercial, organizational, ministry, training, coaching, counseling, therapeutic, or group-program purposes without our written permission or a separate agreement.

07Acceptable use

You agree not to:

We may remove content, restrict features, suspend accounts, or report matters to appropriate authorities where we believe it is necessary.

08Community, Circle, and user-generated content

HARK may offer Community, Circle, prayer room, testimony, wins, confirmations, comments, reactions, sharing, or other user-generated content features.

You own your content

You retain ownership of content you create and submit, subject to the license you grant below.

License you grant HARK

When you post, upload, submit, publish, or share content through the Service, you grant HARK and Edgery - Mission Evangelists, PS a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, format, adapt, moderate, remove, preserve, transmit, distribute, and otherwise use that content as needed to:

For private session content that remains local and is not submitted to an online feature, this license does not apply because HARK does not receive that content.

User responsibility

You represent and warrant that:

Visibility and anonymity

Do not share anything you would not want seen, copied, screenshotted, preserved, or redistributed by others. Circle and Community features are not confidential counseling or pastoral relationships.

Anonymous posting may hide your display name from other users, but it does not guarantee legal, technical, or operational anonymity from HARK, vendors, moderators, or lawful requests.

Moderation and enforcement

We may, but are not obligated to, review, filter, moderate, remove, preserve, restrict, or refuse content. We may provide reporting, blocking, post-deletion, account-safety, and user-safety tools, including the ability to report posts or users, block users, delete your own posts where supported, and contact HARK about moderation concerns at support@harktime.com.

We do not guarantee that all objectionable content will be removed immediately or that moderation will prevent all harm.

No endorsement

User content reflects the views of the user who posted it, not HARK or Edgery - Mission Evangelists, PS. We do not endorse user content.

09Prayer requests, testimonies, and sensitive disclosures

HARK may invite personal reflection. You should not submit or share highly sensitive information unless you are comfortable with how the applicable feature works.

Do not use HARK to report emergencies, abuse, imminent self-harm, threats of violence, medical crises, or other urgent matters. Use emergency services, crisis resources, trusted leaders, or appropriate authorities.

We may take action if we become aware of content suggesting imminent harm, abuse, exploitation, threats, or illegal activity, but we do not promise to monitor all content or provide intervention.

10Subscriptions, purchases, trials, and refunds

HARK may offer free and paid features. Paid features may include the subscription tier currently called HARK Pro.

App-store billing

For iOS purchases, subscriptions are processed by Apple through the App Store. For Android purchases, subscriptions are processed by Google through the Google Play Store. HARK does not collect or store your full payment card information for app-store purchases.

Before you subscribe, the applicable purchase screen should clearly display the subscription title, features, price, billing period, renewal terms, free-trial terms where applicable, and links to these Terms and the Privacy Policy.

HARK Pro prices, billing periods, free-trial terms, renewal details, taxes, currencies, and promotional offers may vary by country, platform, app store, and offer. The terms shown at purchase control the price and billing period for that purchase.

Auto-renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless canceled before renewal under the applicable app-store rules. App stores commonly require cancellation at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, but the exact cancellation timing is governed by the Apple App Store or Google Play Store terms that apply to your purchase.

You can manage or cancel subscriptions through your Apple account settings or Google Play account settings, as applicable. Deleting the HARK app or deleting your HARK account does not automatically cancel your subscription.

Trials and promotions

Free trials, promotional pricing, introductory offers, and discounts may be offered at our discretion and may be subject to additional terms. After a trial ends, your subscription may automatically renew at the then-current price unless canceled in time through the applicable app store.

Refunds

Apple and Google handle refunds for app-store purchases under their respective policies. We cannot guarantee refunds and may not have authority to issue refunds directly for Apple-processed or Google-processed purchases.

Web or non-app-store purchases

If HARK later offers web, partner, enterprise, ministry, group, or other non-app-store purchases, those purchases may be processed by Stripe or another payment provider and may be subject to additional payment terms presented at purchase.

Feature changes

We may add, change, limit, or discontinue free or paid features. If required by law or platform rules, we will provide notice of material changes.

Small claims

Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court if the claim qualifies.

Class-action waiver
