Terms of Use
1. Acceptance of terms
By downloading or using Dopamine Guard (the “app”), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the app.
2. What the app is
Dopamine Guard is a focus-protection and digital wellbeing app: it helps you define an intent you want to protect, plan guard modes, run focus sessions, and review your own progress. Some protection features depend on device permissions and platform capabilities (section 9).
3. Accounts
An account is optional. If you create one (email sign-in), you are responsible for keeping access to your email secure. You may sign out or request account deletion at any time (see Data Deletion).
4. Local-first use
The app works without an account; in that mode your data stays on your device and you are responsible for device backups. Deleting the app deletes local data.
5. Subscriptions and paid features
Some features require Dopamine Guard Pro (subscription or one-time lifetime purchase). Billing is handled by the Apple App Store or Google Play. Details, prices, and trials are shown in the app before purchase and in the Subscription Terms.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- reverse engineer, resell, or misuse the app or its services;
- attempt to access other users’ data;
- use the app in violation of applicable laws;
- abuse support channels or interfere with the service’s operation.
7. No medical advice
Dopamine Guard is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent addiction or any medical condition, and it does not provide medical advice. If you have concerns about your health, consult a qualified professional.
8. No guarantee of uninterrupted blocking
App protection features may depend on OS permissions, device settings, platform limitations, OS updates, and your configuration. We do not guarantee that any app or content will be blocked at all times, and protection can be changed or disabled by you or the platform at any time.
9. Device permissions and limitations
Certain features (such as Screen Time–based protection on supported platforms) require permissions you grant in the operating system. Feature availability may differ between platforms and OS versions, and may require a compatible device.
10. Your responsibility for configuration
You choose what to protect and when. The app should not be relied on as the only method for critical safety, legal, employment, or medical decisions.
11. Intellectual property
The app, its design, artwork (including the Guard Companions), and content are owned by the operator or its licensors and protected by law. These terms grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the app.
12. Third-party services
The app and this site rely on third-party services, including:
- Supabase (accounts and sync infrastructure)
- RevenueCat (subscription management)
- Apple App Store and Google Play (distribution and billing)
- Vercel (hosting of this website)
Their terms and privacy policies apply to their services.
13. Disclaimers
The app is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
14. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operator shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the app. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid for the app in the 12 months before the claim.
15. Termination
You may stop using the app at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for breach of these terms. Sections that by their nature survive termination (including 11–14) survive.
16. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the product evolves; the effective date above reflects the latest revision. Continued use after changes means acceptance.
17. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Poland, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, unless mandatory consumer law in your country provides otherwise.
