Effective Date: September 25, 2026 Last Updated: September 25, 2026
Please read these Terms of Use (“Terms”) carefully before downloading, installing, or using Treatise (the “Application” or “App”), developed by Abraham Doe (“us,” “we,” or “our”).
By installing, downloading, or using the Application, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of these Terms, you may not access or use the Application.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install, and use Treatise for your personal, non-commercial use on Apple devices you own or control, in accordance with Apple’s Usage Rules.
You agree that you will not:
The Application’s software, design, user interface, and the specific compilation and presentation of its exercises are the property of the developer and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.
Some content presented in the Application is drawn from, or based on, the public domain (for example, classical fables) or historical events and figures, and is cited with its source within the app where applicable; such underlying public-domain or historical material is not exclusively owned by us. Exercises not drawn from a cited source are original compositions written for the Application.
Treatise is free to use. It contains no advertisements, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, and no monetization of any kind. It also contains no third-party services or SDKs (see the Privacy Policy for details).
The Application lets you write personal practice notes in response to its exercises. This content is created by you, stored only on your own device, and is never transmitted to us or to any third party. You retain all rights to anything you write. We make no claim to it and have no access to it.
Treatise presents classical rhetorical exercises for educational purposes, including exercises in the form of legal argument (“Law” exercises) and historical or persuasive speech. Nothing in the Application constitutes legal, medical, financial, or other professional advice. Some exercises reference historical figures, events, or conduct — including, in a small number of cases, historical tyranny, conspiracy, or violence — solely as subjects of classical rhetorical analysis (for example, an invective against a Roman emperor, or a declamation on a historical military decision). These are educational exercises in a two-thousand-year-old rhetorical tradition, not endorsements of any view expressed within them.
The Application may reference historical sources or works (for example, in an exercise’s citation) without linking to them directly. The Application itself does not link out to, or embed, any third-party websites or services.
THE APPLICATION IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL WE, OUR AFFILIATES, OR OUR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF DATA OR LOSS OF USE, RESULTING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE APPLICATION, HOWEVER CAUSED, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
Because Treatise is distributed exclusively through the Apple App Store, you acknowledge and agree that:
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the developer resides, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable consumer-protection law requires otherwise. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Application will be resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction in that location, or through binding arbitration where permitted.
We may terminate or suspend your license to use the Application at any time if you breach these Terms. Since the Application requires no account and stores no data on our servers, termination has no effect beyond your license to use the app; any locally stored data remains yours to delete at any time.
We may modify these Terms from time to time. We will note material changes by updating the “Last Updated” date above. Continued use of the Application after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
