Terms of Service

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service, and at least the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction to enter into a paid subscription. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and for activity that occurs under your account. Tell us immediately at support@descreened.com if you suspect unauthorized access.

Descreened aims to help you better manage the time you spend on apps and websites by restricting them on your devices according to limits and schedules you configure. Specific features are described on this website and in the apps themselves and may change over time as the Service evolves.

Pre-launch notice. Descreened is currently in pre-launch and is not yet accepting payments or providing live service. These Terms describe the relationship that will apply once subscriptions open. References to billing, renewal, and refunds below take effect when the paid Service is made available.

When subscriptions open, Descreened Pro will be offered at the price displayed on the pricing page (currently $2.99 USD per month). Prices, plans, and available payment methods may change; we'll give reasonable notice before any change affects an existing subscription.

Payments on the web are processed by Paddle.com Inc. and Paddle.com Market Ltd. ("Paddle"), acting as merchant of record. By subscribing through the website, you also agree to Paddle's checkout and buyer terms in addition to these Terms. Mobile in-app subscriptions, if offered, are processed by Apple or Google under their respective subscription terms.

Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns.

Applicable taxes (VAT, GST, sales tax) are collected by the payment processor where required.

Auto-renewal. Subscriptions are billed in advance for each billing period (monthly, unless otherwise stated) and automatically renew at the then-current price until canceled. Your payment method will be charged at the start of each renewal period unless you cancel before that date. You can cancel at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you keep access until then.

You can manage or cancel a web subscription through the Paddle customer portal link emailed to you when you subscribed. Mobile in-app subscriptions are managed in your Apple or Google account's subscription settings.

If you have trouble cancelling, email support@descreened.com and we'll help.

Refunds are governed by our Refund Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms.

Acceptable use. You agree not to:

• use the Service in violation of any law or third-party right;
• reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service except where law expressly permits;
• share, resell, or sublicense your account or your access to the Service;
• attempt to circumvent security, rate limits, or entitlement checks;
• use the Service to harass, surveil, or restrict another person without their informed consent;
• introduce malware or interfere with the operation of the Service or its infrastructure.

Termination by us. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at our sole discretion, with or without notice, for any reason — including violation of these Terms or any applicable law. Where the suspension is for material breach and a cure is practical, we will give reasonable notice and an opportunity to cure first. If we terminate without cause and you have unused paid subscription time, we will refund the unused portion through Paddle.

Termination by you. You may stop using the Service and cancel your subscription at any time as described in §4. On termination, your personal data is handled according to our Privacy Policy's retention rules.

The Service, including its software, design, and content, is owned by Descreened or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property law. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your personal use during the term of your subscription, subject to these Terms.

Your blocklists, focus settings, and other configurations remain yours. When you opt into cross-device sync, you grant us a limited license to host and process those settings as needed to operate the Service.

Any suggestions, feedback, or ideas you provide about the Service may be used by us without restriction or obligation to you.

THE SERVICE AND ALL RELATED MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, DESCREENED DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND ALL WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

Descreened does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, free of viruses or other harmful components, or that defects will be corrected. Descreened does not warrant that the Service will block every app or site, that scheduled blocks will fire on every device, or that any feature will produce a particular outcome — including any reduction in your time spent on apps or sites. Some platforms (notably mobile operating systems) impose limits on what blocking software can do; those limits are outside our control.

No advice or information, oral or written, obtained from Descreened or the Service constitutes any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Descreened's total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD $25. Descreened is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages, including lost profits, lost data, or loss of goodwill. Some jurisdictions don't allow these limitations; in those jurisdictions our liability is limited to the smallest amount the law permits.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Descreened, Hayden Rhodea LLC, and our officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claim, demand, damage, loss, liability, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your breach of these Terms or any applicable law; (b) your violation of any third-party right, including intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights; (c) any content, data, or configuration you submit, transmit, or make available through the Service; or (d) your fraudulent, willful, or grossly negligent misuse of the Service.

We may, at our option and your expense, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of any such claim.

We may update these Terms from time to time for any reason. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes take effect when posted unless a different effective date is stated. You are responsible for reviewing these Terms periodically; your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. We may also notify you of significant changes by email, in-app notice, or banner where reasonably practical, but we are not obligated to do so.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The parties agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Michigan for any dispute that isn't subject to mandatory consumer-protection law in your home jurisdiction.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that right or provision.

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Refund Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Descreened regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements.

Assignment. We may assign these Terms (including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets); you may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent.

Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, fires, floods, or unavailability of third-party infrastructure or services.

Survival. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including §5 (Refunds), §7 (Intellectual property), §8 (Disclaimers), §9 (Limitation of liability), §10 (Indemnification), §12 (Governing law), and this §13 — survive any termination of these Terms.
