Terms of Use
The short version: Firsts suggests small new things to try; you decide what to do and stay safe doing it. Your firsts belong to you. Be kind in friends, groups and community lists. Pro is a subscription billed by Apple that you can cancel anytime. You must be 18 or older.

Agreement
These terms are an agreement between you and Northwest Ag Technologies, L.L.C., which makes Firsts through its studio Verde House ("we," "us"). They cover the Firsts app, the website at tryfirsts.com and the pages it links to (together, "Firsts"). By using Firsts you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your information. If you don't agree, please don't use Firsts.
Who can use Firsts
You must be at least 18 years old, and able to agree to these terms where you live. Firsts is a personal app; please don't use it for commercial purposes without our written permission.
Your account
Firsts works without signing up: the first time you open it, it creates an account just for your phone. You can back it up with Sign in with Apple (or email, where offered) so you can restore it later. You're responsible for what happens under your account and for keeping your Apple ID or email secure. If you never back up and you delete the app or lose your phone, we can't recover your firsts.
You can delete your account anytime in the app (Settings → Account → Delete account). What happens to your data then is described in the Privacy Policy.
Trying firsts safely
Firsts suggests activities: daily firsts, list items, "Never have I ever" cards, and lists or challenges made by other people. They're ideas, not instructions. You decide whether and how to do any of them, and you're responsible for doing them safely and legally.
- Use good judgment. Skip anything that doesn't suit your health, skills, budget or situation.
- Follow local laws, posted rules, and the guidance of venues, parks, guides and instructors. Check conditions, hours, prices and closures before you go; details in the app can be out of date.
- Costs and times shown ("Free · Quick", "$ · Half a day") are rough guides, not quotes.
- Take care when meeting people, including friends you plan a first with. Meet in public places when it makes sense, and never feel obliged to go.
- Nothing in Firsts is medical, financial, legal or professional advice.
To the extent the law allows, we aren't responsible for injury, loss or damage that comes from activities you choose to do, places you visit, or people you meet.
Firsts Pro
The daily first, logging, your timeline, share cards, weekly recaps, friends, groups and backup are free. Firsts Pro is an optional subscription that adds more lists, themes, stats and other features described in the app.
- Billing. Pro is sold through Apple's App Store as a monthly or yearly subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase. Prices are shown in the app before you buy.
- Renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the same length and current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID is charged within 24 hours before the period ends.
- Free trial. If a plan includes a free trial, you won't be charged if you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Any unused part of a trial ends when you buy a subscription.
- Cancel anytime in your iPhone's Settings → your name → Subscriptions. You keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for.
- Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies. Go to reportaproblem.apple.com to request one.
- Changes. We may add, change or remove Pro features over time. If we raise the price, Apple will tell you in advance and, where required, ask you to agree before your next renewal.
TestFlight and other test versions of Firsts may unlock Pro features for testing. That access ends when the test does.
Your content
Your firsts, photos, notes, lists, plans and messages are yours. You give us permission to store, copy, process and display them only as needed to run Firsts for you: to back them up, sync them, and show them to the people you choose (for example, your friends, a group you share to, people you send a link to, or everyone, for a list you publish to the community). This permission ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies other people already saved (such as a community list someone saved) or that we must keep by law.
Only post content you have the right to share, and make sure it follows the rules below. You're responsible for what you post.
Friends, groups and community
Friends, groups, plan invites, challenges and community lists let you share with other people. To keep Firsts a kind and safe place, don't:
- harass, bully, threaten, or encourage self-harm;
- post hate speech or content that demeans people for who they are;
- post sexual content, graphic violence, or content involving minors;
- encourage drinking, drugs, gambling, dangerous stunts or anything illegal;
- share someone else's personal information, photos of people without their permission, or contact details, links or ads in community lists;
- impersonate anyone, spam, or try to get around a block;
- break, overload, scrape, or reverse-engineer Firsts, or use it to collect information about other people.
You can block anyone and report people, firsts, photos and lists in the app. We review reports, hide reported content automatically after several reports, and may remove content or suspend accounts that break these rules, with or without notice. See the community guidelines. We aren't responsible for what other people post, but we act on what we're told about.
Our app
Firsts, including its design, prompts, lists, cards, artwork, themes and the name and logo "firsts!", belongs to us or our licensors and is protected by law. We give you a personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app on Apple devices you own or control, under these terms and Apple's rules. You may share share cards and links the app makes for you. Please don't copy, sell or republish our content or the app itself.
If you send us feedback or ideas, we can use them freely without owing you anything.
Other services
Firsts relies on other services, such as Apple (Sign in with Apple, payments, and the App Store), the U.S. National Weather Service (for the Weather theme), and the apps you share to. Their own terms and policies apply to your use of them, and we aren't responsible for them. Links to other websites are for convenience.
Ending your use
You can stop using Firsts and delete your account anytime. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms, if we have to by law, or if we stop offering Firsts; when we can, we'll tell you first and give you a chance to save your firsts. Deleting the app doesn't cancel a Pro subscription; cancel it with Apple. Sections that by their nature should continue (like your content license ending, disclaimers, limits on liability and disputes) continue after your use ends.
Disclaimers
We work hard on Firsts, but it's provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability and non-infringement. We don't promise that Firsts will be uninterrupted or error-free, that content (including facts, costs, times and places) is accurate or current, or that your data will never be lost. Back up your account to protect your firsts.
Limits on liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we won't be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost data, profits or goodwill, arising from your use of Firsts or any activity you do because of it. Our total liability for any claim about Firsts is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for Firsts in the 12 months before the claim, or US $50. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you; nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that can't be waived.
If you use Firsts in a way that breaks these terms or the law and that leads to a claim against us, you agree to cover our reasonable costs of that claim, as far as the law allows.
Disputes
If something goes wrong, please email us first at software@nwagtech.com; most problems can be fixed quickly. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Iowa and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and disputes will be heard in the state or federal courts located in Iowa, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring a claim in your local courts.
Apple terms
If you got Firsts from Apple's App Store:
- These terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple isn't responsible for Firsts or its content.
- Your license to use Firsts is also subject to the Usage Rules in Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions, and Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies where these terms don't cover something.
- Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for Firsts. Contact us instead.
- If Firsts fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you can notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price, if any. To the extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for Firsts.
- Apple isn't responsible for any claims about Firsts, including product liability claims, claims that it fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer protection or privacy claims. We, not Apple, are responsible for investigating and handling any claim that Firsts infringes someone else's intellectual property.
- You confirm you're not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo or listed on a U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.
Changes
We may update these terms as Firsts changes. We'll change the date at the top, and for significant changes we'll let you know in the app before they take effect. If you keep using Firsts after that, you accept the updated terms.
