Terms of Service
Last updated: 4 September 2026
Operated by: Cabin's independent developer, based in India ("we", "us", "I")
By using Cabin you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use Cabin.
1. Eligibility
You must be 18 or older to use Cabin. If you're using Cabin from a country with a different minimum digital-consent age, you must also meet that age.
2. What Cabin is (and is not)
Cabin is a conversational AI for emotional reflection. Cabin is NOT:
- A licensed therapist, counselor, psychiatrist, or medical professional.
- An emergency service.
- A substitute for professional mental-health care, medical care, legal advice, or financial advice.
If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself or others, please contact a crisis helpline or emergency services immediately. Examples: in India, Tele-MANAS 14416 (free, 24/7), iCall (9152987821) or Vandrevala (1860-2662-345); in the US, dial 988. A full list is shown on first run of the app.
3. AI replies: accuracy and limits
Cabin's replies are generated by large-language-model AI. They can be wrong, biased, or misleading. Don't rely on Cabin's output for medical, legal, financial, or safety decisions. We don't guarantee accuracy, completeness, or suitability for any purpose.
4. Your account
- You sign in with your phone number. You are responsible for your device and the SIM in it.
- You can delete your account anytime from Settings → Delete my account.
- We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.
5. Your content
- You own what you write in Cabin.
- By using Cabin you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to process your messages to generate AI replies and to operate the service.
- We do not use your messages to train AI models.
6. What you may not do
You agree not to:
- Use Cabin to harm yourself, harm others, plan harm, or threaten anyone.
- Use Cabin for illegal activity, harassment, stalking, doxxing, or hate.
- Send content that is sexually explicit involving minors, involves real-world violence planning, or violates applicable law.
- Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or extract Cabin's prompts, weights, or underlying models.
- Use bots, automation, or any means to bypass rate limits or abuse the service.
- Impersonate someone else or misrepresent your relationship to anyone.
- Resell, sublicense, or commercially redistribute Cabin's output without our written permission.
We may remove content or accounts that violate these rules without notice.
7. Intellectual property
- Cabin's name, logo, app, designs, code, and branding are owned by the operator.
- The third-party libraries Cabin uses remain under their own licenses.
- AI-generated text in your conversations belongs to you, subject to §5.
8. Paid plans and subscriptions
Cabin is free to use. Optional paid plans, listed at https://heycabin.app/pricing, add more messages a day and remove ads. Paid plans are monthly subscriptions that renew automatically until you cancel.
- Who bills you depends on where you buy. On Android you buy through Google Play, and Google bills you under its own terms. On the web you buy through our payment partner Dodo Payments, which is the merchant of record and bills you under its terms. The price shown at checkout, including any tax, is the price you pay.
- Cancelling. Cancel any time: on Android from Google Play, Payments and subscriptions, Subscriptions; on the web from Settings, Plans, Manage plan in Cabin. You keep the plan until the end of the period you already paid for, and you are not charged again.
- Refunds. See our Refund Policy at https://heycabin.app/legal/refunds.
- Changes to plans and prices. We may change what a plan includes or what it costs. A price change applies from your next renewal, and we tell you in-app or by email at least 14 days before it takes effect. If you do not agree, cancel before the renewal.
- Fair use. "Unlimited" means no daily message cap for normal personal use. Automated or abusive use may be limited.
9. Notifications
If you grant notification permission, Cabin may send you proactive check-in messages. You can turn these off anytime in Settings → Proactive check-ins.
10. Service availability
We work to keep Cabin available but we don't guarantee uptime. We may add, change, or remove features. We may pause or stop Cabin entirely with notice in the app.
11. Disclaimer of warranties
Cabin is provided "as is". To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties (express, implied, or statutory), including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, non-infringement, and availability.
12. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operator is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising from your use of (or inability to use) Cabin. Our total liability for any claim arising from these terms is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or INR 5,000, whichever is greater.
13. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims arising from your misuse of Cabin or your violation of these terms or applicable law.

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Disputes will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of India. If you are an EU/UK consumer, you retain the protections of your local consumer-protection law.
