The rules for using Zovia apps. Straightforward, no surprises.
By downloading, installing, or using any Zovia Studio app (**Zistil**, **Zots**, **Zyve**, **Zuzzle**, or future apps), you agree to these Terms of Use ("Terms"). If you don't agree, don't use our apps. It's that simple. These Terms are a legal contract between you and Zovia Studio ("we," "us," or "our"). They govern your access to and use of our mobile applications and related services.
If you suspect unauthorized access to your account, contact us immediately at hello@zovia.studio. We'll help you secure your account. We're not liable for losses from unauthorized access if you didn't take reasonable steps to protect your account (e.g., sharing your password, using weak authentication).
All Zovia apps offer full-featured free versions with usage limits. The free tier is supported indefinitely—no time limits, no forced upgrades. You can use Zovia apps forever without paying.
Most Zovia apps offer **one-time, lifetime purchases** with no recurring charges. However, some apps (like Zupply) offer subscription options for ongoing services.
**Zupply** offers auto-renewable subscription options in addition to lifetime purchases:
Some apps offer consumable purchases that can be bought multiple times:
All purchases are processed through Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Refund requests must be submitted directly to Apple or Google according to their refund policies:

By using our apps, you grant us a limited license to store, process, transmit, and sync your content solely to provide our services (cloud storage, multi-device sync, offline access). We won't use your content for marketing, training AI models, or any other purpose without your explicit consent.

You may stop using our apps and delete your account at any time. See our [Data Deletion](/data-deletion) page for instructions. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or misuse our services. We'll notify you before termination unless prohibited by law. Upon termination, your right to use our apps ends immediately. Sections of these Terms that should reasonably survive (intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability) will continue to apply.
We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or business practices. If we make significant changes, we'll notify you via: • In-app notification when you next open the app • Email to your registered email address • Update to the "Effective Date" at the top of this page Continued use of our apps after changes means you accept the updated Terms. If you don't agree, please stop using our apps and delete your account.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state where Zovia Studio is located, without regard to conflict of law principles. If you have a dispute with us, please contact us first at hello@zovia.studio to try to resolve it informally. We're reasonable people and want to work things out. If we can't resolve the dispute informally, any legal action must be brought in the courts located in the United States, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.
