Terms of Use

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the Service only with the consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.

2. Description of the Service

Doommate is a screen time management application. Using the App, you may:

• Start an operation of a chosen duration, during which applications and categories you select are blocked on your device.
• Log offline activities (“directives”) to earn time (“clearance”) that may be spent to temporarily unblock the selected applications.
• Review a record of your operations, logged activities, and related statistics.

Blocking is performed by Apple’s Screen Time framework (Family Controls, Managed Settings, and Device Activity) and requires that you grant the App Screen Time access in iOS. The App cannot block applications if that access is not granted or is later revoked.

3. Accounts

The App may be used without an account. Where you choose to sign in, authentication is provided exclusively through Sign in with Apple. An account allows your data to be restored on a new device or after reinstallation.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Apple Account and for all activity carried out through your account. Notify us promptly at [email protected] if you become aware of any unauthorised use.

You may sign out, clear your data, or permanently delete your account at any time from the App’s Settings screen. Account deletion is irreversible and is described in our Privacy Policy.

4. Subscriptions and Payments

Subscription Required: Use of the Service requires an active subscription.

Billing: Subscriptions are sold as auto-renewable in-app purchases through Apple. Payment is charged to your Apple Account upon confirmation of purchase. The price, billing period, and any free trial are displayed in the App before you confirm the purchase.

Automatic Renewal: Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current price unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Free Trials: Where a free trial is offered, the subscription begins and is charged automatically when the trial ends unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription, where applicable.

Cancellation: You may manage or cancel your subscription from the Manage Subscription screen in the App or in your Apple Account settings in iOS. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you retain access to the Service until then. Deleting the App or your account does not cancel your subscription.

Refunds: All purchases are processed by Apple and are subject to Apple’s refund policies. We do not process refunds directly. Refund requests may be submitted to Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.

Restoring Purchases: A subscription purchased with your Apple Account may be restored on another device using the restore function in the App.

Price Changes: We may change subscription prices. Price changes are communicated and applied in accordance with Apple’s policies, and do not affect a billing period already paid for.

5. Licence

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to download and use the App for your personal, non-commercial use on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules set out in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the App or the Website.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the App, except where permitted by applicable law.
• Interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the App, the Website, our servers, or any other user’s data.
• Use the App in violation of any applicable law or regulation.
• Use automated means to access the Service or to manipulate subscription entitlements.

7. User Content

You may enter content into the App, such as the names of custom directives. You retain ownership of that content. You grant us a limited licence to store, process, and display it solely to provide the Service to you. You are responsible for the content you enter and must not enter content that is unlawful or infringes the rights of others.

8. Intellectual Property

The App and the Website, including their software, design, text, graphics, and trademarks, are owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the licence granted in section 5, no rights are transferred to you under these Terms.

9. Health and Wellbeing Disclaimer

The App is a self-management tool intended for general wellbeing. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical, psychological, or therapeutic advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The statistics, projections, and in-app messages presented by the App are informational only. If you are concerned about compulsive device use or your mental health, consult a qualified professional.

10. Blocking Limitations

The App relies on functionality provided by iOS. We do not guarantee that blocking will be effective in all circumstances. Blocking may be interrupted or circumvented, including where Screen Time access is revoked, where the device or operating system is modified or updated, or where iOS does not deliver scheduled events to the App. You may end an operation or unblock applications at any time using the controls in the App. You remain responsible for ensuring that access to any application required for emergencies, work, or other essential purposes is not blocked when you need it. We are not liable for any consequence of an application being blocked or unblocked.

11. Third-Party Services

The Service uses third-party services, including Apple Inc. (authentication, payments, and Screen Time), Supabase, Inc. (authentication and data storage), and RevenueCat, Inc. (subscription management). Your use of those services is subject to their respective terms and policies. We are not responsible for the availability or conduct of third-party services.

12. Privacy

Our collection and use of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy, which is published on the Website, is linked from the App’s Settings screen, and forms part of these Terms.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that data will not be lost.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or opportunity, arising from or related to your use of or inability to use the Service. Our total liability for any claim arising from these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid for the Service in the twelve months preceding the claim.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. If you are a consumer, you retain the statutory rights granted to you by the laws of your country of residence.

15. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Service.

16. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time by deleting the App and, if applicable, deleting your account. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you materially breach these Terms. Upon termination, the licence granted in section 5 ends. Sections 7 to 15 and 18 to 20 survive termination.

17. Changes to the Service and These Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the Service or legal requirements. Updates will be published at the address linked from the App’s Settings screen before taking effect, with in-app notice for material changes where required. Continued use of the Service after an update takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

18. Apple App Store Terms

These Terms are between you and us only, and not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”). In respect of the App:

• We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the App and its content.
• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support services for the App.
• If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any, of the App to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession and use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to any legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
• In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of it infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of that claim.
• You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.

19. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Hungary, without regard to conflict of law principles. Disputes shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the competent courts of Hungary. If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, or of your right to bring proceedings in the courts of that country.

20. General

• Entire Agreement: These Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
• Severability: If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
• No Waiver: Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that provision.
• Assignment: You may not assign your rights under these Terms. We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms to a third party in connection with a transfer of the App, provided that your rights under these Terms are not reduced.
