Last updated: March 2026

1. Agreement to Terms

Hippie Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”), a company based in Vancouver, BC, Canada, operates the Cheerly mobile application (“the app”). By downloading, installing, or using Cheerly you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

We may update these terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes via in-app notice or email. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use Cheerly. Users under 18 require parental or guardian consent. By using the app you represent that you meet these requirements.

3. Subscriptions and Billing

Cheerly offers free and paid subscription tiers. Paid subscriptions are billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, and their respective billing terms apply.

  • Manage or cancel your subscription through your App Store or Google Play account settings
  • Refunds are handled by Apple or Google in accordance with their policies

Cheerly uses artificial intelligence to generate personalised stories, quests, feedback, and other content (“AI Content”). You acknowledge and agree that:

  • AI Content is generated automatically and may not always be accurate, appropriate, or complete
  • AI Content does not constitute professional advice of any kind (medical, psychological, financial, or otherwise)
  • Hippie Inc. is not liable for decisions you make based on AI Content
  • We may use anonymised, aggregated interactions to improve our AI systems; we will not use your personal journal entries or identifiable data to train models without your explicit consent

5. Your Content

You retain ownership of content you create within the app (journal entries, goals, progress notes). By using the app you grant Hippie Inc. a limited licence to store and process your content solely to provide the service. We do not claim any ownership over your personal content.

8. Wellness Disclaimer

Cheerly is a gamified self-improvement app, not a healthcare provider. Nothing in the app — including AI-generated content — constitutes medical or psychological advice. If you have mental health concerns, please consult a qualified professional.
