Terms of Use
Last updated: October 22, 2026
Agreement and age requirement
nudge. is owned and operated by Kowalczyk Ventures LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company ("we," "us," or "our"). By downloading, installing, or using nudge. ("the app"), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the app.
nudge. is intended for users 18 years of age or older. By creating an account, you affirmatively confirm that you are at least 18 years old. If you are under 18, you may not use the app. We reserve the right to terminate accounts where we have reason to believe the user is under 18.
Description of service
nudge. is a weekly real-world challenge app. Each Monday it gives you one challenge, and you have until Sunday night to do it. You can share what happened with friends. The app includes social features (posts, photos, tags, reactions, vouches, friend connections), optional team challenges for organizations, and sponsored challenges from brands. nudge. is free to use.
Challenge participation: assumption of risk and liability waiver
nudge. provides challenges for entertainment and personal development purposes only. You participate in all challenges entirely at your own risk. By using the app, you acknowledge and agree that:
- Every challenge is optional, including team challenges. Skip anything that feels unsafe, uncomfortable, or wrong for you. Skipping only affects your weeks-in-a-row count.
- Challenges are suggestions, not instructions. You are responsible for determining whether any challenge is safe and appropriate for your personal circumstances, physical condition, location, and environment.
- Kowalczyk Ventures LLC (the operator of nudge.) and its members, employees, and affiliates are not responsible for any injury, harm, loss, damage, or negative consequence (physical, emotional, financial, or otherwise) arising from your decision to attempt or complete any challenge.
- You will use your own judgment before attempting any challenge and will not do anything that puts yourself or others at risk.
- No challenge in the app should be interpreted as professional advice of any kind, including medical, legal, financial, or safety advice.
This waiver of liability is a material condition of your use of the app. If you do not agree to assume full responsibility for your challenge participation, do not use the app.

Featuring on social media. When you post a photo to everyone, you can tick a box that lets nudge. feature that photo and its story on nudge.'s own Facebook and Instagram accounts. We only do this if you tick the box for that post, we review every photo before it is used, and we may show your username with it.

Limitation of liability

Termination
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these terms or is harmful to other users, us, or third parties. You may delete your account at any time from within the app under Settings.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes not subject to arbitration shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in New Jersey.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. We will notify users of material changes through the app. Your continued use of nudge. after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree to updated terms, you must stop using the app and may delete your account.
