Terms of use

Who we are

ScrollSense is made by a small independent team. "We" and "us" in these terms mean ScrollSense. These terms are an agreement between you and us. Our privacy policy explains how we handle your data.

What ScrollSense does

ScrollSense helps you notice fast, mindless scrolling and stick to the focus times you plan. Depending on your phone and the settings you choose, it can turn apps grey, pause them, ask a quick question before an app opens, stop sound for a moment and open another app instead.

ScrollSense is a self-help tool. It is not medical treatment or advice, parental control software or a guaranteed blocker. Phone makers, system updates, battery settings and changes to other apps can affect how it works, so check that it's working before you rely on it.

Your account

• You must be at least 13. If the law where you live needs a parent's or guardian's permission, you need it before using the app.
• You sign in with Google or, on iPhone, with Apple. Keep that account and your phone secure.
• Don't use someone else's account or pretend to be someone else.
• You can stop using ScrollSense and delete your account at any time.

Subscriptions and free trial

• ScrollSense is a paid subscription, monthly or yearly. You'll see the price in your currency, including tax, before you pay.
• New subscribers get a 14-day free trial. If you don't cancel at least 24 hours before it ends, the subscription starts and you're charged.
• Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel. Cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date in Google Play (Payments & subscriptions) or on iPhone in Settings > your name > Subscriptions. You keep access until the end of the period you paid for.
• Deleting the app or your account does not cancel your subscription.
• Refunds are handled by Google Play or Apple under their rules. This doesn't affect any rights you have by law.
• We won't raise your price. The price you subscribe at stays the same for as long as you keep your subscription.

Copyright and ownership

ScrollSense and everything in it is owned by us and protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. This covers the app's code, design, screens, text, pictures, animations, sounds, videos, the website and the ScrollSense name and logo.

We give you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence that we can cancel, to install and use ScrollSense on phones you own or control, for your own personal use, under these terms. We don't sell you the app or any part of it, and all rights we don't give you here are reserved.

Parts of the app use open-source software under its own licence. Those licences still apply to those parts.

What you can't do

Unless we agree in writing, you must not:

• Reverse engineer the app. This means decompiling, disassembling, decrypting or otherwise trying to get its source code, how it works inside, or its files, sounds, pictures or videos.
• Copy, change, translate or make your own version of ScrollSense, or a modified or "cracked" copy of it.
• Sell, rent or lend the app, or give out copies of its files. Telling friends about ScrollSense and sharing our store links is always welcome.
• Get around the subscription, free trial or any security or licence checks.
• Remove or hide any copyright notice, trademark or label.
• Use the ScrollSense name, logo, screenshots or content to suggest you're connected to us, or to make a competing product.
• Use bots or scripts on the app, overload or attack our services, or try to get into them without permission.
• Use ScrollSense on someone else's phone without their permission, or for anything illegal.

Some laws, such as EU rules on making software work with other programs, give you rights that can't be taken away. Nothing here limits those rights, but only as far as the law actually allows.

What you set up

You're responsible for the task names, focus times, links and apps you choose in ScrollSense. We aren't responsible for other apps or websites you open from it.

Other services

ScrollSense uses Google Sign-In, Sign in with Apple, Firebase, Google Play, the App Store, RevenueCat, MET Norway and Open-Meteo. Their own terms apply to them, and if one of them is down, some features may not work.

Updates

We may update ScrollSense to fix problems, keep it working with new phones or improve it. Features can change or be removed. We'll give you reasonable notice of big changes that affect what you've paid for.

Liability

As far as the law allows, ScrollSense is provided "as is", and we don't promise that it will always work, have no errors or block every app or video. You're responsible for how you use your phone and for your work, study and safety.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, such as for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence. If you're a consumer, your legal rights are not affected.

Ending these terms

You can stop at any time by deleting your account and the app. We can suspend or end your access if you seriously break these terms, for example by reverse engineering or cracking the app, or if the law requires it. If that happens, the licence ends and you must delete any copies of the app. The copyright, liability and governing law sections keep applying after that.

If you got ScrollSense from Google Play

• Your purchase is also covered by the Google Play Terms of Service. Google handles payment, refunds and cancellation under its own rules.
• These terms are between you and us, not Google. We, not Google, are responsible for the app and its support.

If you got ScrollSense from the App Store

• These terms are between you and us, not Apple. We, not Apple, are responsible for the app and its content.
• Apple has no duty to provide support for the app.
• If the app doesn't work as promised, you can tell Apple and Apple may refund the price you paid. As far as the law allows, Apple has no other warranty duty for the app.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for any claims about the app, including product liability, legal or regulatory claims, consumer protection claims and claims that the app infringes someone else's rights.
• You confirm you are not in a country under a US government embargo and are not on a US government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries can enforce these terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

You must also follow the usage rules in Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions.

Governing law

Irish law applies to these terms. If you're a consumer living elsewhere, you keep the protection of your own country's mandatory laws and can bring a claim in your local courts.

Changes to these terms

If we change these terms, we'll update the date at the top. If a change is important, we'll also tell you in the app or on the store page before it takes effect. If you keep using ScrollSense after that, you agree to the new terms.
