Terms of Service
1. Agreement
By tapping "Got it", "Allow" or "Don't allow" on the privacy screen in the app, or by using PactMe ("the app"), you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please uninstall the app. These terms apply alongside Google Play's Terms of Service, which govern your download and purchases.
2. Who can use the app
You must be at least 13 years old to use PactMe. If you are under the age at which you can agree to these terms on your own where you live, you need a parent or guardian's permission, and they accept these terms on your behalf.
3. What the app is for
PactMe helps you set intentional limits on your own app usage: it pauses you before you open an app, holds you to a duration you chose, and shows you statistics afterwards. It is a personal habit tool, intended for you to use on your own device for your own benefit.
4. What the app is not
- Not a parental control or surveillance tool. It is not designed to monitor or restrict another person, and it does not send your activity to other people.
- Not a security or enforcement mechanism. Even in Strict mode, a determined user can disable the accessibility service, revoke permissions, force-stop the app, or uninstall it. This is intentional: Android gives you control over your own device, and PactMe works by cooperating with your intentions, not by overriding them. Please do not rely on it to make an app inaccessible.
- Not a medical or therapeutic service. The app does not provide diagnosis or treatment. If your relationship with your phone is causing you real distress, please consider talking to a qualified professional.
5. Acceptable use
Use the app on devices you own or are authorised to configure. Do not install or configure it on someone else's device in order to monitor or restrict them without their knowledge and consent.
6. Licence and ownership
We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to use the app on Android devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use. The app, its design, code, text and graphics, and the PactMe name and logo belong to the developer. You may not:
- copy, modify, decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer the app, except where the law expressly allows it;
- bypass, crack or tamper with subscriptions, licence checks or Google Play billing;
- distribute, sell, rent or publish the app or modified versions of it;
- use the app to break the law or interfere with other apps or services.
7. Free and PRO features
PactMe offers a free tier and a paid PRO tier, available as a subscription or a Lifetime purchase. The specific features included in each tier are described in the app. We may add, change or remove free features from time to time. If a change would remove a PRO feature you are paying for, we will announce it in the app or in the release notes beforehand, and it will take effect no earlier than your next billing period.
To improve the app, we sometimes test different versions of features or screens, so some users may see options or layouts that others do not.
8. Purchases, renewal, and cancellation
- PRO is sold through Google Play as an auto-renewing subscription (monthly or yearly) or as a one-time Lifetime purchase. Prices are shown in your local currency inside the app before you confirm.
- Lifetime is paid once and does not renew. It unlocks PRO for as long as the app is offered, on devices signed in to the Google account you bought it with. The renewal and cancellation terms below apply to subscriptions only.
- Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends.
- You can cancel in Google Play → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. Cancelling stops future renewals; you keep PRO until the end of the period you already paid for. Subscriptions are managed in your Google Play account, so we are not able to cancel one for you.
- If a free trial is offered and you cancel before it ends, you are not charged. Otherwise the plan you selected is charged when the trial ends.
- If your subscription lapses, PRO features become unavailable. Your local data and statistics are not deleted.
9. Refunds
Purchases are processed by Google, so refunds are governed by Google Play's refund policy and are requested through Google Play. We are not able to issue refunds directly. If something in the app is broken, please contact us first, as we would like to fix it.
10. Your data
Your usage records, pacts and statistics are stored on your device, and we do not keep a copy on our servers. If you want to keep them, please back up your device; we are not able to restore them if your device is lost or reset, or the app's data is cleared. The app sends analytics and crash reports through Google Firebase, which you can turn off in Settings. In some regions, analytics starts only after you agree. See the Privacy Policy for details.
11. Availability and changes
The app depends on Android system behaviour that varies by manufacturer and OS version — background process limits, battery optimisation, and accessibility handling in particular. On some devices, the system may interrupt monitoring. We may update, change, or discontinue features, and will note significant changes in release notes.
12. Termination
You can stop using the app at any time by uninstalling it; remember to cancel any subscription in Google Play separately. If you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, for example by cracking the subscription, your licence ends and we may stop providing the app or PRO features to you. We may also stop offering the app; if we do, we will try to give reasonable notice. Sections 6 and 13 continue to apply after termination.
13. Disclaimer and limitation of liability
The app is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for any loss arising from missed pacts, undetected app launches, lost local data, or the app failing to block something you hoped it would block. Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid for the app in the twelve months before the claim.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing here limits rights you have under mandatory consumer protection law.
14. Changes to these terms
We may revise these terms as the app changes, and will update the date at the top. For material changes, we will show a notice in the app when you first open an updated version, before the changes apply to you. If you do not agree to the revised terms, you can stop using the app and cancel your subscription in Google Play. Continuing to use the app after the notice means you accept the revised terms. Minor edits, such as clearer wording, are made on this page.
