Leader Guide Terms of Use

Effective date: November 12, 2026

Leader Guide is published by Turing Forge LLC, an Alabama limited liability company ("Turing Forge," "we," "us"). These Terms of Use ("Terms") apply to the Leader Guide app for iPhone and iPad (the "App").

The App is licensed to you under Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Standard EULA," https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/). These Terms add to the Standard EULA. If the two conflict, the Standard EULA controls as far as Apple's rules require it to; otherwise these Terms control. By downloading or using the App, you agree to these Terms.

1. What Leader Guide does

Leader Guide helps adult leaders find their way around a camp's leader guide. You import a guide (a PDF), and the App reads it on your device. It then shows passages from the guide that relate to common questions and to questions you ask, lets you turn the guide's packing lists and schedules into checklists and tables, and lets you keep your own notes. On iPhones and iPads with Apple Intelligence turned on, Ask can also show a short AI answer written from the guide's passages (see Section 5). Ask and Share and Export are part of Leader Guide Pro (see Section 7).

2. Independence

Leader Guide is an independent app from Turing Forge LLC. It isn't affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Scouting America or any council or camp. Scouting America and related names are trademarks of their owners. Names of councils and camps appear only to identify them.

3. Your guides

3.1 They belong to their publishers. Leader guides and other documents you import belong to the councils, camps or others who publish them. Importing a guide doesn't give you or us any rights in it.

3.2 Your responsibility. Import only documents you have the right to access and use, such as guides a council or camp has published for leaders or given to you. Don't use the App to get around logins, member-only pages or other access controls.

3.3 Personal use; no redistribution. The App is for your own use of guides you've imported. Guide text and AI answers in the App are shown for reading only. The App doesn't let you copy, share or export them, and you agree not to use the App to republish or distribute guides. What you can share is your own content: your notes, checkmarks, lists and schedules, which the App labels with the guide's page numbers.

3.4 Stored on your device. We don't receive, host or keep any guide you import (see Section 9).

4. The guide is the final word

4.1 Search can miss things. Leader Guide finds passages by search, and reads lists, schedules, dates and highlights using fixed rules. Text on scanned or picture pages is read by your device's text recognition. Any of these can miss, mismatch or misread information, and a guide may have changed since you imported it.

4.2 Check before you rely on it. The camp's current leader guide and the camp's staff are the final word on dates, deadlines, fees, forms, medical requirements, rules and safety. Check important details in the guide (the App links each passage to its page), and confirm with the camp when in doubt.

4.3 Dates you add. Before the App adds an event to your calendar or reminders, it shows you the date it read from the guide for you to confirm. You're responsible for checking that it's right.

4.4 Starter lists. Where a guide has no packing list, the App may offer a general starting list written by us. It's a suggestion only; your camp's own list comes first.

4.5 Not advice. The App doesn't give safety, medical or legal advice. You and your group are responsible for planning, supervision and safety.

5. AI answers

5.1 What they are. On iPhones and iPads with Apple Intelligence turned on, Ask can show a short answer written by Apple's on-device language model from the passages the App found in your guide, with up to three quotes and links to their pages. The App checks each quote word for word against the guide and marks it ✓ if it was found or ⚠ if it wasn't. The model can't read pictures or maps, so pages that are only images aren't part of an AI answer. The search results always appear below the answer.

5.2 AI answers can be wrong, even when the quotes check out. A ✓ means the quoted words appear on that page. It doesn't mean the answer is correct: the model can draw the wrong conclusion from real quotes, miss a qualifier or exception, mix up details from different parts of the guide, or answer from the wrong passage. In our testing, some answers were wrong even though every quote matched. An answer saying the guide doesn't cover something may also be wrong. Always read the quoted pages, and rely on the guide and the camp (Section 4), not on an AI answer, for dates, deadlines, fees, forms, medical requirements, rules and safety.

5.3 Availability. AI answers are part of Leader Guide Pro (Section 7). Whether they're available depends on your device, your iOS version, your Apple Intelligence settings and your language, which Apple controls. Without them, Ask still shows search results. You can turn AI answers off in the App's settings, and we may change how they work in an update.

5.4 On your device. AI answers are produced entirely on your device. The App doesn't send your guides, questions or answers to us, to Apple or to any server for this (see the Privacy Policy).

6. Websites

If you import a guide from a link, the App downloads it from that website. We don't control other websites or what they publish, and their own terms apply.

7. Leader Guide Pro and purchases

7.1 What's free. The App is free to download. Without Pro you can import and read guides, see Highlights, use lists, checklists and schedules, pin facts, add notes, choose your camp week, and add dates to Calendar or Reminders.

7.2 Leader Guide Pro. Pro adds Ask (searching a guide in your own words, and AI answers where your device supports them; see Section 5) and Share and Export (sharing Highlights, and exporting checklists and schedules as PDF, text or CSV) for every guide you import. Ask and Share and Export also work, without Pro, on the sample guide that comes with the App, so you can try them before you buy. AI answers need Apple Intelligence on a supported device; Pro doesn't make them available on a device that doesn't support them. You can get Pro in one of two ways:

(a) Yearly subscription. See Section 7.4.

(b) One-time Pro unlock. A single payment that unlocks Pro features in the App for your Apple Account and your Family Sharing group. It isn't a subscription and doesn't renew. It unlocks the Pro features the App offers; it doesn't promise future features, updates or versions (see Section 8).

7.3 Prices. Prices are shown in the App and on the App Store before you buy, in your local currency, and may change. A price change doesn't affect what you've already paid for. Apple processes all payments under its terms.

7.4 Yearly subscription.

• Billing. Apple charges the subscription to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, and again at the start of each new year of service.
• Automatic renewal. The subscription renews automatically each year at the then-current price until you cancel. To avoid the next charge, cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current year.
• Cancelling. You can cancel anytime in Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions, or from "Manage Subscription" in the App's Settings. After you cancel, Pro stays active until the end of the year you've paid for.
• Price changes. If the subscription price changes, Apple will notify you and, where Apple's rules require it, ask for your consent before charging the new price.
• Reminder. While renewal is on, the App will remind you once a year, about 30 days before your subscription renews.

7.5 If Pro ends. If your subscription ends, or Pro otherwise stops being available to your account (for example, after a refund or if you leave a Family Sharing group), Ask and Share and Export lock again for your imported guides. Nothing is deleted: your guides, notes, pins, checklists and week choice stay, and the free features keep working.

7.6 Family Sharing. Leader Guide Pro can be shared through Apple's Family Sharing as Apple allows.

7.7 Refunds. Apple handles all payments and refunds. To request a refund, go to reportaproblem.apple.com. We can't issue refunds directly.

8. Updates, availability and discontinuation

8.1 No promise of updates. We may release updates, but we don't promise to. We don't promise new features, fixes, compatibility with future versions of iOS or future devices, or that the App will read every guide's format, or that AI answers will stay available.

8.2 Availability. We may stop offering the App or Leader Guide Pro, or stop updating or supporting the App, at any time. If we do, the copy already on your device keeps working as installed, including Pro features you've unlocked, for as long as your device and iOS continue to run it. Whether you can download the App again is up to Apple and the App Store.

8.3 Changes to features. We may change, add or remove features in an update. We won't remove a Pro feature from a one-time Pro unlock or an active subscription term on purpose, except where a law, Apple's rules, or a security or safety problem requires it. AI answers depend on Apple Intelligence, which Apple controls; if Apple changes or withdraws it, Ask keeps its search.

8.4 Subscriptions after discontinuation. If we stop offering the subscription, we'll turn off renewals so you're not charged again, where Apple lets us.

9. Your data

Leader Guide keeps your guides, notes, checkmarks, lists and questions on your device. Turing Forge doesn't receive or store them. See the Leader Guide Privacy Policy: https://turingforgeai.com/leaderguide/privacy. You're responsible for backing up your device.

10. Acceptable use

Use the App only lawfully, and only for planning and preparing for camp and similar activities. Don't copy, modify, reverse engineer or redistribute the App except as the Standard EULA or the law allows.

Minors. Leader Guide is meant for adult leaders. If you're under 18, use it only with a parent's or guardian's permission. Where the law requires a parent's consent and it wasn't given, we won't enforce these Terms against the minor.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent the law allows, the App is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We don't warrant that the App will be error-free or uninterrupted, or that what it shows from a guide, including AI answers, will be accurate, complete or current. Some places don't allow these exclusions, so some may not apply to you.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Turing Forge won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, use or goodwill, arising from the App or these Terms. That includes missed deadlines, fees, forms or registrations, and decisions made in reliance on an AI answer. Our total liability for any claim relating to the App is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid for the App and Leader Guide Pro in the 12 months before the claim and (b) US$50. These limits don't apply where the law doesn't allow them, such as liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence in places where that can't be limited.

13. Apple

These Terms are between you and Turing Forge, not Apple. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. The Standard EULA's terms about Apple, including product claims, intellectual property claims and legal compliance, apply.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Alabama, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that isn't resolved informally will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Jefferson County, Alabama, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction. If you're a consumer, this doesn't take away any mandatory protections of the law where you live, including your right to bring a claim in your local courts where that law allows.

15. Concerns from publishers

If you publish a guide or represent a council or camp and have a concern about the App, contact us at support@turingforgeai.com. We'll respond promptly.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. We'll post the new version at this address with a new effective date. If a change is material, we'll tell you in the App before it takes effect.
