Delve Terms of Service

Effective date: September 26, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Nolan Joseph Connolly ("Delve," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your access to and use of the Delve iOS application and related services (together, the "Service"). By downloading, installing, or using Delve, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

If you downloaded Delve from the Apple App Store, this agreement is between you and Nolan Joseph Connolly only, and not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). See the "Apple App Store Terms" section below for provisions required by Apple.

1. Acceptance and Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use Delve. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this age requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are using Delve on behalf of a minor for whom you are a parent or legal guardian, you accept these Terms on that minor's behalf and are responsible for their use of the Service. Delve is intended for one individual person per account. You may not create or use an account on behalf of another person or share your account with others. You also represent that you are not located in, and are not a national or resident of, any country subject to a United States government embargo or that has been designated by the United States government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any United States government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

2. The Service

Delve is an iPhone app with four kinds of content:

• Lessons: short, interactive lessons in a personalized feed on Home and in the Library.
• Books: lessons on well-known books, three narrated parts per book, each part teaching one idea from the book (Section 7.4).
• Puzzles: a set of daily logic and word puzzles, new each day at 10 a.m. on your phone's clock (Section 2.4).
• Ask and Review: an AI chat you can use to ask about a lesson, and a chat in the Library that asks you to explain what you have learned.

Lessons and chat replies are written with the help of artificial intelligence and are sourced from Wikipedia and other public sources, as described in Sections 7 and 9.

2.1 The free plan

Without a subscription, you can open up to two lessons or book parts per day, counted by your phone's local day, and play about half of each day's puzzles, chosen for you each day. Puzzles from past days, and the rest of each day's puzzles, need Delve Plus. The free plan does not include a lesson written for you.

2.2 Delve Plus

Delve Plus is an auto-renewing subscription (Section 3) that includes:

• One new lesson written for you each day from your interests, as described in Section 2.3.
• Every lesson and book, with no daily limit.
• Every puzzle, including puzzles from past days.

2.3 The lesson written for you each day

This section explains exactly how the daily lesson works, so you know what you are paying for.

• It is written overnight by an AI model. Writing starts at your local midnight, using the interests you gave Delve and any lessons you asked for. A lesson usually takes some time to write, so the day's lesson may arrive during the night or the morning.
• One at a time. If you have not opened your previous daily lesson, no new one is written until you do. Once you open it, the next one is written and usually arrives within about an hour. Days on which you do not open your daily lesson do not build up into extra lessons later.
• It needs AI turned on. The daily lesson is written only while AI is on in Account > AI Preferences. With AI off, no daily lesson is written, and the rest of Delve Plus still works.
• It is checked, then shared. The topic Delve picks for you passes a safety screen before the lesson is written. The finished lesson stays private to you until an automated content check passes; if the check fails, it is not published. Once it passes, the lesson joins Delve's shared library, and other readers can find and play it. Your requests shape its topic, but we do not put your name, your email, or anything else that identifies you into the lesson, and other readers are not told who it was written for.
• The topic is chosen for you. Delve decides the topic from your interests and requests, and it may pick a lesson already in the library instead of writing a new one when the library already teaches what you asked for. We do not promise that a particular request will be covered on a particular day.
• If the lesson cannot be written on a given day (for example, because of an outage), Delve may give you a lesson from the library for that day instead.

2.4 Puzzles

Each game has one puzzle a day, released at 10 a.m. on your phone's local clock. On the free plan, about half of each day's puzzles are open to you; which ones are chosen for you each day and stay the same all day. A puzzle you started on its day can always be finished. Delve Plus opens every puzzle, including every past day's. Puzzles are for enjoyment and practice. We do not claim that playing them raises your intelligence, improves your memory, or has any health benefit.

2.5 Changes to the Service

We may change, add to, or remove features of the Service, including what the free plan and Delve Plus include, at any time. We will give reasonable notice of material changes where practical, and a change to what Delve Plus includes will not reduce what you have already paid for in your current billing period without notice.

3. Subscriptions and Billing

3.1 Apple In-App Purchase

All Delve subscriptions are sold and billed through Apple's In-App Purchase system. Delve does not process, store, or have access to your payment card details. Available plans currently include:

• Delve Plus Monthly: $14.99, billed every month.
• Delve Plus Yearly: $119.99, billed once a year (about $9.99 a month).

Both plans renew automatically until you cancel.

Prices are set in each App Store region and may differ from the U.S. dollar amounts above. The price shown to you at checkout in the App Store is the price that applies.

3.2 Auto-renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period. Your Apple Account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period, at the price you most recently agreed to, unless you cancel before that time. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. If an introductory offer or free trial is shown at purchase, its terms are shown there, and any unused part of a free trial ends when you buy a subscription.

3.3 Managing and cancelling your subscription

You can review, manage, and cancel your subscription at any time in your device's Settings app, under Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions. Cancelling stops future renewals but does not refund any portion of a period already paid for, and you will keep subscriber access through the end of the current billing period.

3.4 Refunds

Delve does not process refunds directly. All purchases are billed by Apple, and refund requests are handled by Apple under its own policies. To request a refund, visit reportaproblem.apple.com or use the "Report a Problem" feature in the App Store.

3.5 Price changes

We may change subscription prices from time to time. If we increase the price of your plan, we will provide advance notice as required by the App Store, and the new price will apply starting with your next renewal after the change takes effect, unless you cancel before then.

4. Accounts and Security

You can create a Delve account using Sign in with Apple or email one-time-passcode (OTP) sign-in. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Apple Account credentials and any device or email access used to sign in to Delve, and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at support@delvelearning.app if you suspect unauthorized use of your account. You may delete your account at any time from within the app; see Section 12 for what account deletion does.

5. Acceptable Use

When using Delve, you agree not to:

• Scrape, crawl, harvest, or otherwise systematically extract data, lessons, or other content from the Service by automated means.
• Abuse, overload, or attempt to manipulate the per-lesson chat assistant, including by attempting to extract system prompts or internal instructions, generate content unrelated to the lesson it is attached to, or use it to generate content that violates these Terms.
• Circumvent, disable, or attempt to bypass the free plan's daily limits, the puzzles closed to you, subscription checks, or other technical restrictions in the Service.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the proprietary parts of the Service, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law.
• Use the Service to violate any applicable law, infringe any third party's rights, or transmit malicious code.
• Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity, in your account, interest inputs, or chat messages.
• Use the Service in any way that could disable, overburden, damage, or impair it, or interfere with any other party's use of it.

We may investigate and take appropriate action against anyone who violates this section, including suspending or terminating accounts, as described in Section 13.

6. Delve's Intellectual Property

Delve's software, application design, user interface, feature set, curation logic, branding, and all other elements of the Service that are original to Delve (collectively, "Delve IP") are owned by Nolan Joseph Connolly and are protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Delve app on Apple-branded devices you own or control, solely as permitted by the App Store's Usage Rules, and solely for your personal, non-commercial use. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of any Delve IP to you. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

7. Sources, Licensing, and Books

Delve's lessons are written from, and link to, sources that are mostly Wikipedia articles.

7.1 Text

Wikipedia article text is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-SA 4.0). Where a Delve lesson incorporates or is substantially derived from Wikipedia text, that underlying content remains subject to CC BY-SA 4.0, and your rights to reuse that underlying material (for example, the right to copy, redistribute, and adapt it, with attribution and under the same license) come from the CC BY-SA 4.0 license itself, not from Delve. Delve's original presentation of that content within the app, including its structure, interactive elements, and any Delve-authored framing, explanation, or commentary, is Delve IP as described in Section 6, and is licensed to you only under Section 6, not under CC BY-SA 4.0.

7.2 Images

Images shown in Delve carry their own individual licenses, which vary by image; Delve credits the pictures inside its lessons, and the credit and license for any image in Delve is available from support@delvelearning.app. Your use of any image is subject to that image's specific license, not to a blanket license from Delve.

7.3 No warranty of completeness

Wikipedia content changes over time and Delve's lessons reflect Wikipedia content as of when they were generated. We do not guarantee that a lesson reflects the current state of its source Wikipedia article.

7.4 Books

The Books tab has lessons on published books, in three parts per book, each part teaching one idea from the book.

• Delve's own commentary. Each part is Delve's original educational commentary, written in Delve's own words: it teaches one idea, adds context and later evidence, and checks your understanding. It is not a summary, abridgment, or substitute for the book, and it does not reproduce the book's text beyond short, attributed quotations used for comment and teaching.
• Sources. A public domain book is checked against its own text. For a book still in copyright, the parts rely on the author's own public words (essays, excerpts the publisher released, talks, and interviews) and other public sources, and say "the author argues" rather than quoting the book.
• Covers and names. Book titles, author names, and cover images appear only to identify the book being discussed. Delve is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any author or publisher.
• Purchase links. A book's Get the book button opens a plain link to the book on Amazon's website. These links are never affiliate links: Delve is not paid for them and earns nothing from any purchase you make. What you buy there is between you and the seller.
• Rights holders. A rights holder who believes a book lesson goes beyond fair use, or that any Delve content infringes their copyright, can write to the address in Section 20. We act on such notices promptly, and Section 10 describes how corrections are handled.

8. Your Inputs and License to Delve

When you use Delve, you give us inputs, including the interests you pick, what you type about your interests, the lessons you ask for, your answers in lessons and puzzles, and the messages you send in Ask and Review chats ("User Inputs").

You keep whatever rights you have in your User Inputs. You grant Delve a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, and process your User Inputs to run, provide, and improve the Service, including to choose topics for and write new lessons.

Lessons written from your interests and requests, including your daily lesson under Section 2.3, are Delve's content, not yours. Once they pass Delve's content check (Section 2.3), they are published in Delve's shared library, may be shown to and played by other readers, and stay in the library after you delete your account. We do not put your name, your email, or anything else that identifies you into them, and your requests themselves are never shown to other readers.

You promise that you have the right to submit your User Inputs and that they do not break the law or anyone else's rights. Do not put sensitive personal details about yourself or anyone else into your interests, requests, or chats.

9. AI-Generated Content and No Professional Advice

Delve's lessons, book lessons, daily lessons, and chat replies are written with the help of artificial intelligence. Lessons are checked by automated tests before they are published. A lesson written for you each day passes a topic safety screen and an automated content check before it joins the shared library, but no person reads it first.

"Ask about this" answers questions about the lesson you are in. Its answers can draw on the lesson, general knowledge, and a web search, and the sources it shows are links that open in your browser, outside Delve. You can report any answer with "Report this answer". Ask is not a crisis or emergency service. If you tell it you are in crisis, it is instructed to point you to help, but if you or someone else is in danger, contact your local emergency number.

Delve is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. AI-generated content may be incomplete, outdated, or contain factual errors, and you should not treat any lesson or chat response as a guaranteed accurate or complete source of information. Nothing in the Service constitutes medical, legal, financial, or other professional advice, and no lesson or chat response should be relied upon as a substitute for consulting a qualified professional. Nothing in Delve, including its Health & Body lessons, is medical advice. You are responsible for independently verifying any information from Delve before relying on it, particularly for decisions with health, legal, financial, or safety consequences.

10. Reports and Corrections

If you believe a lesson or puzzle contains an error, is offensive, or otherwise should be reviewed, you can report it from the lesson's menu in the app or by email; an answer in "Ask about this" can be reported with "Report this answer". When we determine a correction is warranted, we generally address it by superseding the lesson with a corrected version rather than editing it in place. We review reports at our discretion and do not guarantee a particular outcome, timeline, or response to any individual report.

11. The Wikimedia Pledge

Delve has publicly stated its intention to donate 50% of its profits to the Wikimedia Foundation. This pledge reflects a voluntary business commitment by Nolan Joseph Connolly. In the app, the pledge is worded "we give 50% of our profits to the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit behind Wikipedia" and "Half of our profits go to Wikipedia." Delve is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Wikimedia Foundation. It is not a term of the agreement between you and Delve, is not a condition of any purchase or subscription, does not create any contractual right for you or any third party to enforce it, and does not modify the price or nature of anything you purchase from Delve. No portion of any payment you make to Delve is a charitable contribution or donation, and no payment to Delve is deductible as a charitable contribution for tax purposes.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time using the account deletion option in the app. Deleting your account ends your access to your saved history and account data as described in our Privacy Policy, and, if you have an active subscription, does not by itself cancel that subscription; you must separately cancel your subscription through your Apple Account settings as described in Section 3.3 to stop future billing.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms, misused the Service, or for any other reason at our discretion, including discontinuing the Service generally. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, and 19) will survive.

13. Disclaimers of Warranty

THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ALL LESSONS, PUZZLES, CHAT RESPONSES, AND OTHER CONTENT, IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. DELVE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY CONTENT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR RELIABLE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOLAN JOSEPH CONNOLLY AND HIS AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOLAN JOSEPH CONNOLLY'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100 USD) OR (B) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO DELVE THROUGH THE APP STORE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Nolan Joseph Connolly harmless from any third-party claims, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the Service. We will provide you with notice of any such claim and, where reasonably possible, an opportunity to participate in its defense.

16. Apple App Store Terms

The following provisions apply because Delve is distributed through the Apple App Store, and are required by Apple's licensing rules for apps of this kind. In the event of any conflict between this Section 16 and any other part of these Terms regarding the matters below, this Section 16 controls.

1. This agreement is between you and Nolan Joseph Connolly only, not with Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content.
2. The license granted to you to use the app is limited to a non-transferable license to use the app on any Apple-branded product that you own or control, as permitted by the App Store's Usage Rules.
3. Delve, not Apple, is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services for the Service, as described in these Terms (or as required under applicable law). Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services for the Service.
4. In the event of any failure of the Service to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the app to you, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Service, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of Delve, as set out in these Terms.
5. Delve, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the Service or your possession and/or use of the Service, including: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the Service fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
6. In the event of any third-party claim that the Service or your possession and use of the Service infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, Delve, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim, to the extent required by these Terms.
7. You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties, as also stated in Section 1.
8. Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary of these Terms.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice through the app or by other reasonable means before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to updated Terms, you must stop using the Service and may delete your account as described in Section 12.

18. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise based on your location. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service that cannot be resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Texas, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Either party may instead bring an individual claim in small claims court where that court has jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by law, you and Delve each agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative action. Nothing in this section limits any non-waivable consumer protection rights you have under the law of your country of residence.

19. Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Nolan Joseph Connolly regarding the Service.

20. Contact

Questions about these Terms can be sent to support@delvelearning.app.

Copyright notices can be sent to the same address, with "Copyright" in the subject. Please include your contact details, the work you believe is infringed, where it appears in Delve (the lesson or book title), a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorized, a statement that your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner, and your physical or electronic signature.
