Terms of Use

Effective date: May 24, 2026 Last updated: May 24, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a legally binding agreement between you and Mohammad Hassani, an individual developer based in California, USA ("we", "us", "our", or "Mantel"), and they govern your access to and use of the Mantel mobile application and any related websites or services (collectively, the "Service").

Please read these Terms carefully. By downloading, installing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you represent that you have your parent or legal guardian's permission to use the Service and that they have agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

You also represent that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any country subject to a U.S. Government embargo, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

2. License to use the Service

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install, and use the Service on devices that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use.

You may not:

• copy, modify, distribute, sell, rent, lease, or sublicense the Service;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service except to the extent applicable law expressly permits;
• remove or alter any proprietary notices in the Service;
• use the Service to develop a competing product;
• use any automated means (bots, scrapers) to access the Service or our backend;
• attempt to gain unauthorized access to our backend, our service providers' systems, or any other user's data;
• use the Service to violate any law or anyone else's rights.

We may add, change, or remove features at any time without notice.

3. Voice input and transcription

The Service uses your device's microphone to record short audio clips when you choose to capture a task by voice. Audio is uploaded to our backend and processed by third-party AI providers to produce transcripts and extract structured tasks. See the Privacy Policy for details on how voice data is handled.

You are responsible for what you say. Do not use the voice feature to record other people without their consent where required by law, and do not submit content that violates Section 5 below.

Accuracy disclaimer. Speech recognition and AI task extraction are imperfect and probabilistic. Transcripts, due dates, and task content may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unexpected. You are responsible for reviewing the tasks Mantel creates and for any consequences of relying on them. Do not rely on Mantel for time-critical, safety-critical, medical, legal, financial, or other high-stakes reminders without independent verification.

4. Your content

"Your Content" means the tasks, notes, lists, recordings, and other information you provide to or create using the Service.

• You retain ownership of Your Content.
• You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to process Your Content solely for the purpose of providing and improving the Service for you, including by transmitting it to the third-party processors described in the Privacy Policy. This license is limited to what is necessary to operate the Service and ends when we no longer need to process Your Content.
• You represent that you have the necessary rights to submit Your Content and that Your Content does not infringe anyone else's rights.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to create, transmit, or store any content that:

• is unlawful, fraudulent, defamatory, obscene, hateful, harassing, or threatening;
• infringes intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights of any third party;
• contains malware or other harmful code;
• promotes violence, terrorism, child sexual abuse material, or other illegal activities;
• attempts to interfere with, disrupt, or compromise the Service or our backend.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms.

6. Notifications

The Service can schedule local notifications on your device to remind you of due tasks. You can disable notifications at any time in iOS Settings → Mantel, or per task in the app. Whether notifications are delivered, and when, depends on iOS, device state, and your settings. We are not responsible for missed, delayed, or duplicate notifications.

7. Third-party services

The Service relies on third-party platforms and providers, including Apple (App Store, iCloud, CloudKit, APNs), Cloudflare, OpenRouter, and the AI model providers that OpenRouter routes requests to. Your use of those services is also subject to their own terms and policies. We do not control those third parties and are not responsible for their acts or omissions.

If iCloud / CloudKit is unavailable, disabled by you, or unable to sync, the Service will continue to work locally on your device but cross-device sync and restore-on-reinstall will not be available.

8. Pricing and future paid features

Mantel is currently provided free of charge. We may, in the future, introduce paid features, in-app purchases, or subscriptions ("Paid Features"). If you choose to purchase Paid Features:

• Payments will be handled by the platform store (currently Apple's App Store) and are subject to that store's billing terms.
• Subscription prices, billing cycles, renewals, and refunds will be disclosed at the point of purchase and governed by the App Store's standard subscription rules unless we say otherwise.
• We may change the price or availability of Paid Features. Where required by law, we will give you reasonable notice before a change affects you.

You are responsible for any costs your mobile carrier may charge you for data usage.

9. Updates and changes to the Service

We may release updates to the Service from time to time. We may also discontinue, suspend, or materially change all or part of the Service at any time. Where reasonably possible we will provide notice through the app or our website. We are not liable to you or anyone else for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service.

10. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time by uninstalling the app. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms, if we are required to do so by law, or if continuing to provide the Service is no longer feasible. Upon termination, Sections 3 (accuracy disclaimer), 4 (your content), 11–17, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive will survive.

11. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and quiet enjoyment.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, accurate, or that any specific result can be achieved through the Service. We do not warrant that voice transcripts or AI-extracted tasks will be correct. We do not warrant that notifications will be delivered or delivered on time. We do not guarantee that data stored locally or in CloudKit will not be lost.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties; in those jurisdictions, the disclaimers above apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, or for any loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, or business opportunities, arising out of or in connection with the Service or these Terms, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you have paid us for the Service in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) US $50.

The limitations in this section apply regardless of the legal theory of the claim and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages; in those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) Your Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.

14. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

For any dispute not subject to informal resolution or arbitration (see Section 15), the state and federal courts located in California, USA will have exclusive jurisdiction, and you and we consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts. Nothing in these Terms prevents either party from seeking equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

15. Dispute resolution

Informal resolution first. Before filing any claim, you agree to contact us at contact@phassani.com with a description of the dispute and your contact information, and to give us at least 60 days to resolve it informally.

Small claims. Either party may bring an individual claim in a small-claims court of competent jurisdiction.

No class actions. You and we agree that any dispute will be resolved on an individual basis only, and not as part of a class, consolidated, or representative action.

If any portion of this Section 15 is found unenforceable, the remainder will continue in effect.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and update the hosted version at https://thragna.com/mantel/terms. If a change is material, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you in the app or by other means. Your continued use of the Service after an update means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service.

17. Miscellaneous

• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements on the same subject.
• Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision.
• Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or by operation of law.
• No agency. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, employment, joint venture, or agency relationship between you and us.
• Notices. We may give notices through the app, by email, or by posting on https://thragna.com. You may give notices to us at contact@phassani.com.
