Terms of Service

Last updated: 29 May 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Cleave, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the application. These terms apply to all users, including both free and paid subscribers.

2. Description of Service

Cleave is a faith-centred marriage enrichment application that provides daily devotionals, couple questions, marriage challenges, conflict repair tools, and other features designed to help married couples grow together. The service is available as a free tier (Covenant Preview) and as paid subscriptions (Covenant Plus) with additional features.

Cleave is operated by Sagacity Network Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 15712287), whose registered office is at Pendle Drive, Basildon, SS14 3LT. In these terms, “Cleave”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Sagacity Network Ltd.

3. Account Registration

To use Cleave, you must create an account with a valid email address. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to provide accurate and complete information during registration and to keep this information up to date.

Each person may only maintain one account. Accounts are personal and may not be shared or transferred to another person.

4. Subscription Plans and Billing

Cleave offers the following plans:

  • Covenant Preview (Free) — access to core features including daily devotionals, couple questions, and limited games and tools
  • Covenant Plus Monthly — full access to all features, billed monthly
  • Covenant Plus Yearly — full access to all features, billed annually at a discounted rate
  • Founding Member — lifetime access via a one-time payment (limited availability)

All payments are processed securely through Stripe. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Upon cancellation, you will retain access to paid features until the end of your current billing period. Refunds are handled in accordance with applicable consumer protection laws.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use Cleave for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws
  • Harass, abuse, or harm another person through the couple-linking or messaging features
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to other users' accounts or data
  • Use automated tools, bots, or scrapers to access or extract data from the service
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the service
  • Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation

6. User Content

You retain ownership of all content you create within Cleave, including journal entries, love notes, check-in responses, and daily question answers. By using the service, you grant Cleave a limited licence to store, process, and display your content back to you and your linked partner as part of the service.

We do not publicly share, sell, or use your personal content for any purpose other than providing the service. Individual answers to couple questions remain private until both partners have responded.

7. Couple Linking

Cleave allows you to link your account with your spouse via an email invitation. Linking is consent-based — both parties must actively accept the connection. Either party may unlink their account at any time through their profile settings. Unlinking does not delete individual account data but does remove access to shared couple features and history.

You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from this content without prior written permission.
