Terms of Use

1. Agreement and Eligibility

These Terms form an agreement between you and the individual developer of Lock In (“Lock In,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). If you do not agree, do not create an account or use the Service. You must be at least 13 years old and legally permitted to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority where you live, a parent or legal guardian must review and agree to these Terms on your behalf.

2. Accounts

You agree to provide accurate information, keep your credentials secure, and promptly notify us of unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity conducted through your account. You may not sell, transfer, share, or create accounts through automated means. We may limit an account to one active device session where needed for security or fair use.

3. License and Acceptable Use

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable license to use the Service for lawful, noncommercial purposes. You may not:

• Copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, reverse engineer, or attempt to extract source code except where applicable law expressly permits it.
• Interfere with the Service, bypass security or access controls, use bots or automation, or attempt unauthorized access.
• Exploit bugs, manipulate focus records, rewards, rankings, or virtual balances, or help others do so.
• Use the Service to violate law, infringe rights, harass others, impersonate another person, or distribute malware or harmful material.

4. Focus and Screen Time Features

Lock In provides tools intended to support focus and accountability. You control whether to grant Apple Screen Time and notification permissions. Device restrictions, timers, reminders, and session records may be delayed, interrupted, or unavailable because of device settings, operating-system behavior, connectivity, or other circumstances. The Service is not an emergency, safety, medical, or professional-advice tool, and you remain responsible for how you use your device and manage your time.

5. Social Features and User Content

The Service may let you choose a profile name, name virtual trees, connect with friends, react to activity, participate in leaderboards, and join shared focus sessions. You are responsible for content you submit and must have the rights needed to submit it. Do not post unlawful, abusive, threatening, discriminatory, sexually explicit, deceptive, privacy-invasive, or infringing content.

You retain ownership of your content. You grant us a worldwide, nonexclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and process that content only as reasonably needed to operate, secure, and improve the Service. This license ends when the content is deleted, except for reasonable backup, legal, or security retention. We may remove content or restrict social features when reasonably necessary to enforce these Terms or protect users and the Service.

6. Virtual Items and Rankings

Coins, XP, seeds, trees, streaks, rewards, rankings, and similar features are virtual, have no monetary value, cannot be redeemed for money, and are not transferable. We may adjust balances, rules, availability, or rankings to correct errors, address abuse, rebalance the Service, or make product changes. You do not own a monetary or property interest in virtual items.

7. Service Changes and Availability

We may update, suspend, or discontinue features and may impose reasonable usage limits. We do not guarantee that the Service will always be available, error-free, secure, or compatible with every device or operating-system version. You are responsible for maintaining a compatible device, internet access, and any third-party account needed to use the Service.

8. Suspension, Termination, and Account Deletion

You may stop using the Service at any time and may initiate account deletion in Settings. We may suspend or terminate access when we reasonably believe you violated these Terms, created risk or legal exposure, abused the Service, or when required by law. Sections that by their nature should survive termination—including intellectual-property, disclaimer, liability, and general provisions—will survive.

9. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, shared, retained, and protected. Please review it before using the Service.

10. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, visual design, graphics, text, and other materials provided by us, is owned by or licensed to us and is protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for the limited license above, these Terms do not grant you rights in our trademarks, branding, or Service content.

11. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” We disclaim all express and implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and noninfringement. Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Lock In will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, use, goodwill, or profits arising from the Service. To the extent liability cannot be excluded, our total liability for claims relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid to use the Service during the 12 months before the claim or US$50. These limits do not apply where prohibited by law.

13. Apple App Store Terms

If you downloaded the app from Apple’s App Store, these Terms are between you and Lock In, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content and has no obligation to provide maintenance or support. Your license is limited to use on Apple-branded products you own or control as permitted by the App Store Usage Rules, including eligible Family Sharing or volume-purchase use. Lock In, not Apple, is responsible for addressing claims relating to the app, including product-liability, legal-compliance, and intellectual-property claims. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce this section against you.

14. General Terms

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement regarding the Service. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will continue in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not transfer these Terms without our consent; we may transfer them as part of a reorganization, financing, sale, or transfer of the Service. Applicable mandatory consumer protections remain unaffected.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms as the Service or legal requirements change. We will update the effective date and provide additional notice when required. If a material change requires renewed agreement, we may ask you to accept the updated Terms before continuing to use the Service.
