Terms of Use

Last updated: August 12, 2026

1. Acceptance of these terms

These Terms of Use are an agreement between you and Verso Co, LLC, the maker of the Verso app. By creating an account or using Verso, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.

2. What Verso is

Verso is a mobile app for choosing one word for your year and reflecting on it, month by month. It's free to download and free to use. There are no purchases, subscriptions, or ads. Your reflections are private by default.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to create a Verso account. By creating an account, you confirm that you meet this requirement.

4. Your account

You sign in to Verso with an email address and password, or with your Apple or Google account, through our authentication provider. When you create an account, please:

• Give us accurate information, and keep it up to date.
• Keep your sign-in credentials safe, and don't share your account with others.
• Let us know at versoappllc@gmail.com if you think someone else has accessed your account.

You're responsible for what happens under your account.

5. Your content

Your word, your reflections, and any photos you add are yours. You own them. You give Verso Co, LLC only the limited license we need to run the app: to store your content, back it up, sync it to your devices, and display it back to you and to the people you explicitly choose to share it with. We don't use your content for anything else, and this license ends when you delete the content or your account.

Everything you write in Verso is private by default. If you choose to include your word in the community count, it appears only as part of an anonymous aggregate: a tally of how many people chose each word, with no name or identity attached. You can change that choice in Settings at any time.

6. Acceptable use

Verso is a quiet, personal space, and we intend to keep it that way. You agree not to post or share content that is unlawful, hateful, harassing, threatening, sexually explicit, or that infringes someone else's rights, including their privacy or intellectual property. You also agree not to impersonate others, interfere with the app or its infrastructure, or use Verso for any unlawful purpose.

This applies to everything in your account, and especially to anything other people can see: the word you choose (which can appear in the anonymous community count) and any reflections or photos you share with trusted readers.

We don't tolerate objectionable content or abusive behavior. If content violates these terms, we may remove it, revoke sharing, and suspend or terminate the account responsible. If you encounter content that concerns you, report it to versoappllc@gmail.com. We review every report and act on violations promptly, including removing the content and, where warranted, the account that posted it.

7. Sharing with trusted readers

Verso lets you share your story with people you trust using a group code. You control who sees what:

• Sharing is entirely optional, and nothing is shared unless you choose to share it.
• You can revoke a group code, or revoke an individual reader's access, at any time.
• Codes are for one year and expire on December 31.

If someone shares their story with you as a reader, treat it with care. It was shared with you personally. Don't republish or redistribute it.

8. Ending your account

You can delete your account at any time from inside the app, which permanently deletes your account and your content. See Delete Account for the steps. We may suspend or terminate an account that violates these terms; where reasonable, we'll let you know why.

9. Disclaimers

Verso is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind. We work hard to keep the app reliable, but we can't promise it will always be uninterrupted or error-free.

Verso is a tool for personal reflection. It is not medical, psychological, or therapeutic advice, and it isn't a substitute for care from a qualified professional. If you're struggling, please reach out to someone qualified to help.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Verso Co, LLC will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the app. Because Verso is free, our total liability to you for any claim related to the app will not exceed fifty US dollars ($50). Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we'll post the updated terms on this page with a new "Last updated" date. If a change is significant, we'll do our best to give you notice in the app. Continuing to use Verso after an update means you accept the revised terms.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising from these terms or the app will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Ohio.
