Safety & Acceptable Use Rules

Effective date: July 14, 2026
Version 1.0

These Safety & Acceptable Use Rules apply to your use of the GoalWithMe mobile application, website, and related services. GoalWithMe is owned and operated by JC Behavioral Consulting INC.

These Rules are part of the Terms of Use. By using GoalWithMe, you agree to follow these Rules.

1. Use GoalWithMe for Safe and Lawful Commitments

Commitments created through GoalWithMe must be lawful and should not create an unreasonable risk of harm.

Do not create, encourage, participate in, or verify commitments that:

• Require or encourage illegal activity
• Encourage violence, threats, or physical harm
• Encourage self-harm or suicide
• Encourage dangerous challenges, dares, or stunts
• Require unsafe use of alcohol, drugs, medications, or other substances
• Require another person to participate without consent
• Encourage abuse, exploitation, or neglect
• Violate another person's privacy or legal rights

2. Participation Must Be Voluntary

GoalWithMe is designed for voluntary accountability between users.

You may not:

• Force or pressure another person to create a commitment
• Force or pressure another person to accept you as an accountability partner
• Threaten consequences for refusing to participate in GoalWithMe
• Use GoalWithMe to control another person's personal decisions
• Use an accountability relationship to intimidate, manipulate, or exploit another person

Users should be free to decline invitations, end participation, or stop using the Service.

3. Treat Accountability Partners With Respect

You may not use GoalWithMe to:

• Harass, threaten, stalk, or intimidate another person
• Repeatedly contact someone who has asked you to stop
• Humiliate or shame another user
• Use abusive, hateful, or degrading language
• Retaliate against someone for declining or disputing a verification request
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity

4. Do Not Use GoalWithMe for Emergencies

Do not rely on GoalWithMe, an accountability partner, a verification request, or an in-app report as a substitute for emergency assistance.

5. Do Not Use GoalWithMe as a Substitute for Professional Care

GoalWithMe is a general-purpose accountability tool. It is not a medical, mental-health, psychological, behavioral, legal, financial, or other professional service.

Do not use GoalWithMe to pressure another person to ignore, discontinue, or act against professional advice.

Commitments involving health, medication, treatment, exercise, nutrition, finances, legal matters, or other potentially consequential decisions should be approached carefully and, where appropriate, discussed with a qualified professional.

6. Only Share Content You Have the Right to Share

You are responsible for photos, notes, descriptions, and other content you submit through GoalWithMe.

Do not upload or share content that:

• Violates another person's privacy
• Was obtained without appropriate consent
• Contains private or confidential information you are not authorized to share
• Infringes copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual-property rights
• Contains unlawful or sexually exploitative material
• Contains malicious software, harmful code, or deceptive links

Be especially careful when uploading photos that include other people, private locations, identifying documents, financial information, medical information, or other sensitive details.

7. No Sexual Exploitation or Abusive Sexual Content

You may not use GoalWithMe to create, request, upload, distribute, or promote content involving:

• Sexual exploitation or abuse
• Nonconsensual sexual content
• Sexual content involving minors
• Threats to distribute intimate content
• Coercion involving sexual activity or sexual images

Content involving the sexual exploitation of minors is strictly prohibited and may be reported to appropriate authorities where required by law.

8. No Self-Harm or Dangerous Challenges

You may not create or promote commitments that encourage:

• Suicide or intentional self-injury
• Starvation or dangerous restriction
• Intentional overdose or misuse of medication
• Dangerous substance use
• Reckless physical challenges
• Any activity with a substantial and unreasonable risk of serious harm

GoalWithMe may restrict or remove content that appears to create a serious safety risk.

9. No Illegal, Fraudulent, or Deceptive Use

You may not use GoalWithMe to:

• Plan, encourage, or document illegal activity
• Defraud or deceive another person
• Misrepresent completion in order to obtain money, property, or another benefit
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to another account or system
• Interfere with the operation or security of GoalWithMe
• Use automated systems to scrape, spam, or misuse the Service

10. Verification Must Be Honest

Accountability partners should make verification decisions honestly and in good faith based on the information available to them.

GoalWithMe does not guarantee that verification decisions will always be accurate or that users will agree about whether a commitment was completed.

You may not knowingly falsify progress, fabricate evidence, manipulate another user's verification decision, or falsely claim that another person verified a commitment.

11. Respect Boundaries When Sharing Information

Only share information that is reasonably necessary for the accountability relationship you have chosen.

Do not pressure another user to provide:

• Passwords or account credentials
• Financial account information
• Government identification numbers
• Highly sensitive medical information
• Intimate images
• Other information that is not reasonably necessary for the commitment

12. Reporting Safety or Abuse Concerns

If you encounter content or conduct that you believe violates these Rules, the Terms of Use, or applicable law, you may report the concern through available in-app reporting tools or by contacting us.

When making a report, provide enough information for us to understand the concern without unnecessarily sharing additional sensitive information.

13. How We May Respond to Violations

Depending on the circumstances, JC Behavioral Consulting INC may take action that it reasonably believes is appropriate, including:

• Providing a warning
• Restricting access to certain features
• Removing or limiting access to content
• Suspending an account
• Terminating an account
• Preserving information when required for legal or safety reasons
• Reporting conduct to appropriate authorities when required by law

We may consider the seriousness of the conduct, the risk of harm, repeated violations, available context, and applicable legal obligations.

14. These Rules Do Not Replace Personal Judgment

No policy can identify every unsafe, abusive, or inappropriate use. You are responsible for using reasonable judgment when creating commitments, choosing accountability partners, sharing information, and responding to other users.

If something feels unsafe, coercive, abusive, or inappropriate, stop participating and seek appropriate support.

15. Changes to These Rules

We may update these Safety & Acceptable Use Rules as GoalWithMe develops or as safety, legal, technical, or operational requirements change.

When we make changes, we will update the effective date and version number shown at the top of this page.

If changes materially affect user responsibilities, we may provide additional notice or require renewed acknowledgement where appropriate.
