LEGAL & INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY GOVERNANCE • TECH BETTERMENT LLC
Effective Date: November 2026 • These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of all websites, digital platforms, software-as-a-service offerings, custom development and strategy engagements, and standalone mobile software applications published or operated by Tech Betterment LLC.
SECTION 01 • SCOPE & ACCEPTANCE
By accessing, downloading, installing, or using any website, web application, digital platform, consulting service, or standalone mobile software application (collectively, the "Services") provided by Tech Betterment LLC, a Colorado limited liability company ("Tech Betterment," "we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company, organization, or other legal entity, you represent that you have full authority to bind such entity.
Covered Portfolio Categories: These Terms govern our entire portfolio of offerings across two primary functional umbrella categories: (a) Commercial Digital Engineering, Custom Web and Mobile Application Development, AI Workflow Enablement, and Marketing Strategy Engagements for business clients; and (b) Standalone Consumer and Professional Mobile Software Applications, On-Device Media and Visual Utility Software, and Interactive Productivity Tools published under Tech Betterment LLC on authorized mobile application distribution platforms.
SECTION 02 • PROPRIETARY IP & TRADE SECRETS
All unique application capabilities, interactive workflows, user interface designs, visual ergonomics, brand emblems, visual attribution elements, underlying codebase modules, system and cloud architectures, on-device media processing pipelines, technology stacks, and growth methodologies embodied in or utilized by the Services are the exclusive proprietary intellectual property and confidential trade secrets of Tech Betterment LLC and its licensors, protected under United States and international copyright, trade secret, trademark, and patent laws.
Strict Prohibition on Reverse Engineering & Competitive Reconnaissance: You may not, and may not permit or assist any third party to: (a) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, decrypt, or attempt to derive the source code, object code, application binaries, algorithm logic, or underlying structure of any Tech Betterment web platform or mobile software application; (b) perform stack fingerprinting, network or API traffic profiling, automated scraping, benchmarking, or competitive reconnaissance against any Service; (c) extract, modify, repackage, sideload-tamper, or redistribute any mobile application package or binary; or (d) use any portion of the Services or their visual outputs to train, fine-tune, or evaluate competing software products or machine learning models.
SECTION 03 • MOBILE APPLICATION LICENSE
Subject to your continuous compliance with these Terms, Tech Betterment LLC grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable license to download, install, and run our published mobile software applications strictly on compatible mobile devices that you own or lawfully control, solely for your personal or authorized internal training, utility, or productivity purposes.
Brand Attribution, Watermark Integrity & Tier Licensing: Certain mobile applications published by Tech Betterment LLC may operate under freemium, ad-free early-adopter, or upgraded licensing tiers and may display integrated brand attribution elements or visual watermarks within live viewports or exported media files. You are strictly prohibited from removing, cropping, obscuring, altering, or attempting to bypass any in-app or exported brand attribution notice, logo, or visual watermark unless explicitly unlocked through an authorized upgrade tier provided directly within the application. Your use of any mobile application is also subject to the applicable usage rules of the authorized mobile application distribution platform from which you obtained the application.
SECTION 04 • HARDWARE PERMISSIONS & SAFETY
On-Device Hardware & System Permissions: Standalone mobile applications published by Tech Betterment LLC may utilize optional, user-authorized device capabilities—such as camera optics, audio input, local device storage, tactile haptic feedback, or system display and background rendering permissions—solely to execute user-initiated local software functionality on your device. You may revoke device permissions at any time through your mobile operating system settings, acknowledging that doing so may disable corresponding application features.
Physical Activity, Athletic Training & Situational Awareness Assumption of Risk: Certain Tech Betterment mobile applications may be used during physical training, sports and movement analysis, or active device operation in real-world environments. Tech Betterment applications are visual and utility aids only and do not provide medical, clinical, coaching, or safety advice. You expressly assume all physical and environmental risks associated with using a mobile device during physical movement or outdoors. Never operate or view any mobile application while driving a motor vehicle, cycling, operating machinery, crossing roadways, or navigating hazardous or crowded environments where distracted attention could result in personal injury or property damage.
SECTION 05 • COMMERCIAL ENGAGEMENTS & BILLING
Custom Web Development Sprints, App Development Sprints, AI Enablement engagements, and Monthly Marketing Strategy Retainers are governed by these Terms together with the applicable written Statement of Work ("SOW") or order agreement executed between you and Tech Betterment LLC. Unless otherwise specified in an applicable SOW, upon receipt of full and final payment for a custom client deliverable, Tech Betterment assigns to the client the agreed-upon rights to the bespoke client-specific deliverables, while retaining all rights, title, and interest in Tech Betterment's pre-existing frameworks, reusable software libraries, internal architectures, and generalized know-how.
All billing, subscription charges, and invoice settlements are processed securely through PCI-DSS Level 1 certified payment processors or authorized mobile application distribution platforms. Fees paid for completed sprint milestones or active billing cycles are non-refundable except as expressly stated in a written SOW or required by applicable law.
