Terms of Use
Last updated: November 10, 2026
1. Scope
These terms apply to the iOS app Screen Time Blocker (the “app”), provided by Rene Arnegger, Tapify Labs (see Imprint). In addition, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (Standard EULA) applies. If these terms and the Standard EULA conflict, these terms take precedence to the extent permitted by Apple.
2. How blocking works
Blocking relies on Apple's Screen Time frameworks and runs under the control of iOS. We cannot guarantee that every block works at all times, for example after iOS updates, if Screen Time access is revoked, or if the device's Screen Time settings are changed. The app is a self-help tool and not a parental-control or security product.
3. Licence and use
We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the app on Apple devices that you own or control, for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer or redistribute the app or its content (texts, cards, design), except where the law expressly allows it.
4. Free version, trial and subscription
Some features require a paid subscription (Screen Time Blocker Pro). The following applies:
- The price, billing period and any free trial are shown in the app before you buy.
- Payment is charged to your Apple ID account when you confirm the purchase, or when a free trial ends.
- The subscription renews automatically for the same period unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- You can manage and cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple ID account settings (iOS Settings › your name › Subscriptions) or in the app under “My Subscription”. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the current period.
- Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
- Purchases, cancellations and refunds are handled by Apple under Apple's terms. You can request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com.
- You can restore an existing subscription on a new device with “Restore purchases” in the app.
5. Availability and changes
We continuously improve the app and may change, add or remove features, as long as this is reasonable for you. We aim for high availability but cannot guarantee uninterrupted operation. Your data is stored on your device; please keep device backups.
6. Liability
We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and under the German Product Liability Act. For slight negligence we are liable only for breach of essential contractual obligations, limited to the typical, foreseeable damage. Otherwise our liability is excluded. Statutory consumer rights remain unaffected.
7. Governing law
German law applies. If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of the country where you habitually reside.
8. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms for valid reasons (for example new features or legal changes). The current version is always available on this page.
