Neverhold Terms of Service

Last Updated: August 29, 2026

TAP app: TAP has its own Terms at terms-of-service-tap.html. These Terms are for Neverhold (the dialer) and shared-account items called out below.

1. Introduction and Acceptance

Welcome to Neverhold ("we," "our," "us," or "Company"). These Terms of Service ("Terms," "Agreement") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and Neverhold regarding your access to and use of Neverhold (the dialer), our website neverhold.co, and related services (collectively, the "Services"). The standalone TAP app is covered by the TAP Terms of Service.

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Services and should immediately uninstall the App.

These Terms apply to all users of the Services, including users who access the Services through Google Play Store, sideloaded installations, or any other distribution method.

2. Eligibility and Age Requirements

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher) to use the Services. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that:

• You are at least 18 years old or have reached the age of majority in your jurisdiction;
• You have the legal capacity and authority to enter into this Agreement;
• You are not prohibited from using the Services under applicable laws;
• All information you provide to us is accurate, current, and complete.

3. Description of Services

Neverhold is the full app experience. TAP is a separate app for TAP contact cards, TAP exchange, and Emergency ID. The same Neverhold/TAP account works in both apps. Together, the Services may provide:

• Cellular Call Management: Integration with your device's native calling capabilities for making and receiving cellular calls (Neverhold);
• VoIP Calling Services: Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calling services provided through third-party service providers (including but not limited to Twilio);
• Call Recording: Optional call recording features subject to applicable laws and user consent;
• Contact Management: Integration with your device's contacts and call history;
• Æther Contact Cards and TAP: Building a shareable digital contact card (Æther) and exchanging it with nearby devices over Bluetooth or Nearby Connections (and NFC when you start a medical share). Ordinary TAP exchange does not include Medical ID. Card and profile photos on TAP Android use the system Photo Picker or camera capture — TAP does not require photo-library access and does not scan TAP-card QR codes;
• TAP Medical ID (optional): User-entered medical and emergency-contact information, lock-screen Medical ID (notification does not show medical details), lock-screen Send, emergency SMS to designated contacts, in-app emergency Message Center copies, medical .tapcard files, and armed NFC share;
• Accounts and sign-in: Email/password, Continue with Google, and Continue with Microsoft (Azure / Microsoft 365). Optional cloud backup of TAP / Æther contacts;
• Business Account and Æther Store: Paid or loyalty-redeemed entitlements such as Business Account (multi-mailbox OAuth for Gmail, Exchange / Microsoft 365, and iCloud contact sync; extra business cards; ad-free in TAP and Neverhold for that account) and Remove Ads (annual, not lifetime, unless a legacy forever purchase is restored);
• Shared loyalty: One points balance and shared entitlements for the same signed-in user in TAP and Neverhold. There is no daily login claim; optional rewarded ads may grant points and a short ad-free window;
• Additional Features: Any other features we may add from time to time.

4. User Accounts and Registration

4.1 Account Creation

To access certain features of the Services, you may be required to create an account. When creating an account, you agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information;
• Maintain and promptly update your account information;
• Maintain the security and confidentiality of your account credentials;
• Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account;
• Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access or use of your account.

4.2 Sign-in with Google or Microsoft

If you choose Continue with Google or Continue with Microsoft, you authorize Google or Microsoft to share the account information described in our Privacy Policy so we can create or resume your Neverhold/TAP session. You must comply with those providers’ terms as well as these Terms. If you already have a Neverhold/TAP account with the same verified email, sign-in may link to that existing account. Connecting Gmail or Exchange under Business Account is a separate step from login and can be disconnected in the App.

4.3 Phone Number Verification

You may be required to verify your phone number to use certain features. By providing your phone number, you consent to receive verification codes via SMS or voice call. Standard message and data rates may apply. You represent that you own or have authorization to use the phone number you provide. Google or Microsoft sign-in does not verify a phone number: a number from those profiles is prefill only. If you verify a number used as someone else’s Medical ID emergency contact, TAP or Neverhold may deliver matching emergency messages to your in-app Message Center.

4.4 TAP Medical ID, emergency SMS, NFC, and .tapcard

TAP Medical ID is optional. It is a personal safety aid, not a medical device, not dispatch, and not a substitute for calling emergency services (911 or your local equivalent).

• You are solely responsible for the accuracy of Medical ID you enter and for keeping designated emergency-contact numbers current and authorized;
• Lock-screen Medical ID is optional. The lock-screen notification does not display your medical conditions, medications, or allergies;
• Lock-screen Send may SMS only the emergency contacts on that Medical ID. It is not a bulk-messaging, marketing, or general SMS product. TAP is not a default SMS app and does not read your inbox;
• Medical fields are not included in ordinary TAP card exchange or day-to-day Share My Card. A Medical ID .tapcard or NFC share is started from the Emergency / Medical ID hub (including lock-screen Send / NFC arm);
• TAP cannot silently enable NFC. You (or a rescuer) must arm it; if NFC is off, Android settings must be used;
• Recipients of a medical .tapcard may view or delete it. They may not edit the origin Medical ID. Only a new medical share from the owner updates stored medical fields;
• Carrier SMS, nearby radios, and device settings can fail. We do not guarantee that any emergency message, TAP share, or NFC payload will be sent, received, read, or acted upon;
• Do not rely on TAP instead of professional emergency medical care.

5. Acceptable Use and Prohibited Conduct

You agree to use the Services only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree NOT to:

• Use the Services for any illegal purpose or in violation of any local, state, national, or international law or regulation;
• Violate or infringe upon the rights of others, including intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights;
• Transmit, upload, or distribute any content that is harmful, abusive, harassing, threatening, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable;

• Use automated systems (bots, scrapers, etc.) to access the Services without our express written permission;
• Use the Services to make fraudulent, harassing, or abusive calls;

• Use TAP Medical ID, lock-screen Send, emergency SMS, NFC Medical ID, or .tapcard medical share for marketing, pranks, harassment, or to contact anyone other than contacts designated on that Medical ID;
• Enter another person’s health information as Medical ID except as that person (or their lawful representative) authorized, or impersonate an injured person / first responder;
• Resell, redistribute, or sublicense the Services without our express written permission;
• Use the Services in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair our servers or networks.
