Welcome to Affirm. By downloading, installing, or using the app, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.
1. Description of Service
Affirm is a personal wellness app that helps you build a daily affirmation practice.

2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use Affirm. By using the app, you confirm that you meet this age requirement.
3. Account & Device
Affirm does not require an account. All data is stored locally on your device and optionally synced via your personal iCloud account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device and iCloud account.
4. Subscriptions & Payments
Affirm offers auto-renewable subscriptions managed entirely through the Apple App Store.
