The Mood Buddy
Terms & Conditions
Effective and last updated: 3 November 2026
Mood Buddy offers a quiet space for emotional awareness and self-support. These terms explain its use, purchases and your local records.
1. About Mood Buddy
The Mood Buddy offers emotional-awareness and self-reflection tools for personal use by adults aged 18 and over. Questions about the app, purchases or these terms can be sent to [email protected]. Please also read the Privacy Policy.
2. Support and product boundaries
Mood Buddy can help you notice your feelings and explore small ways to support yourself. It does not diagnose or treat a medical condition, provide individual professional advice or replace therapy, medication, professional care, emergency assistance or human support. The app and its support mailbox are not emergency services. No particular emotional outcome is promised.
Choose activities only when they are appropriate and comfortable for your health and surroundings. You can skip, stop or choose an alternative. Seek appropriate professional help when needed and do not change prescribed treatment because of app content.
3. Features and plans
The Android app is free to download where it is available through Google Play. The current release is available through testing; a public launch has not yet been announced. Sadness, Anger and Anxiety are available free.
Basic — ₹499 one-time in India: adds Laziness, Discouragement, Stress, Boredom and Suffocation, giving eight emotions including the free content. Basic does not retain completed check-ins as mood history.
Plus — ₹999 one-time in India: includes all 12 emotions and the complete collection of 60 Mood Buddy cards, additional activities and affirmations, completed-check-in history, daily/weekly/monthly summaries and reports, My Notes and optional Gratitude. Profile, purposes, progress and achievements support your personal journey. These features show your recorded selections and reflections; they are not clinical measurements.
These are one-time purchases, not subscriptions. Check the price and included features shown in the app and Google Play checkout before confirming a purchase. An existing verified Basic owner can upgrade to Plus for an additional ₹500, making the combined purchase cost ₹999. The ₹500 upgrade is available only with a valid Basic purchase. New users can choose the ₹999 Plus purchase directly. Google Play shows the chosen product and its price before confirmation. A testing or preview plan does not establish a paid entitlement.
4. Google Play purchases and restoration
For the Google Play Android release, Google Play handles checkout under its applicable terms. Paid access unlocks after a completed purchase has been verified and acknowledged. Pending or unsuccessful payments do not unlock paid access. Use Restore purchase with the relevant Google Play account when needed. Clearing local app storage does not cancel a purchase or delete Google's purchase history. Restore access requires Google Play to confirm the purchase and may need an Internet connection.
Purchased access and privately supplied review/testing access are separate. A private testing code is not a receipt, a purchase or a promise of entitlement in the public app.
5. Purchases, refunds and support
Mood Buddy does not offer voluntary refunds for a change of mind after purchase. This applies to Basic, Plus and the Basic-to-Plus upgrade. Any refunds required by applicable law or available under Google Play’s applicable refund policies remain unaffected.
For a failed unlock, duplicate-charge concern or other purchase issue, contact [email protected] with the relevant Google Play order details. Do not send card details, account passwords or private reflections. Purchase support remains available under this policy. A refunded or revoked purchase may lose its associated access. The Plus upgrade requires a valid Basic purchase; if Basic is revoked, an upgrade purchase alone does not unlock Plus.
6. Local records, exports and device changes
The current Plus Android app and browser preview store profile information, purposes, notes, gratitude and completed Plus check-ins locally. There is no Mood Buddy account, cloud backup or automatic cross-device synchronization. Clearing app storage, uninstalling the app or losing the device can remove these records; support cannot recover records held only on your device. Restoring a purchase does not restore personal notes or check-in history.
PDF/PNG reports are created from your recorded information and may contain sensitive content. You choose where to save or share them. Exported files remain separate from app storage. Screenshot protection within the Android app does not protect a file after you deliberately export it and cannot stop an external camera or every modified device.
7. Permitted use
Use Mood Buddy for lawful personal emotional awareness and self-reflection. Do not interfere with its operation, seek unauthorized access to another person's information or present it as professional treatment. App content, designs and branding are supplied for use within the app; commercial redistribution requires permission or another lawful basis. You retain control of your own writing and entries.
8. Availability and changes
Technical faults, maintenance, device compatibility and external services can affect availability. We will communicate material changes to purchased features, data handling or terms clearly. Changes do not remove any rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded. External apps, websites, storage providers and Google Play operate under their own terms and privacy practices.
9. Browser previews and testing
The website browser preview and private testing modes are separate from purchased Google Play access. Preview controls do not create a paid entitlement, charge you or transfer your records to the Android app. Purchase tests made with Google Play test payment methods do not represent real charges. Availability and features in older test versions may differ.
10. Updates and contact
The latest terms appear on this page with an updated date. We will communicate material changes through relevant app or website notices. For app, privacy or purchase questions contact [email protected]. Support does not provide counselling or emergency assistance.
