Terms & Conditions

These Terms and Conditions govern your use of the Stay Away iOS app (“the App”). By downloading or using the App, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. What the app does

Stay Away uses Apple's Screen Time and Family Controls APIs to help you block distracting apps and websites. It tracks streaks, logs relapses, and sends local reminders, all on your device. It is a tool to support your own intentions; results depend on your consistent use of it.

2. No medical or therapeutic advice

The App is not a medical device, mental health treatment, or therapeutic service. It does not diagnose or treat addiction, compulsive behavior, or any other condition. If you are struggling with a serious mental health issue, please seek help from a qualified healthcare professional.

3. No guarantees

We do not guarantee that the App will help you reduce screen time, break habits, or achieve any specific outcome. Screen Time blocking can be bypassed through iOS settings, and we cannot prevent that. The App is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

4. Subscriptions

Some features require a paid subscription. Subscriptions are billed through Apple In-App Purchase and are subject to Apple's payment terms. By subscribing, you agree to the following:

• Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID account settings.
• No refunds are issued for unused portions of a subscription period.
• Prices may change with reasonable notice.

5. Your responsibilities

• You must be at least 13 years old to use the App.
• You are responsible for maintaining access to your device and its passcodes.
• You agree not to attempt to reverse-engineer, modify, or circumvent the App's functionality.

6. Intellectual property

The App, including its design, code, and content, is owned by us and protected by copyright and other laws. You are granted a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the App on your own devices. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from any part of the App.

7. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the App, including loss of data, loss of progress, or failure to achieve a desired outcome. Our total liability to you for any claim will not exceed the amount you paid for the App in the 12 months preceding the claim.

8. Termination

You may stop using the App and delete it at any time. We may update, suspend, or discontinue the App at any time. If a subscription feature is permanently removed, we will provide reasonable notice.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Germany, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of Berlin, Germany.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We will update the effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
