1. AGREEMENT TO TERMS

Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of BlockApp, an iPhone (iOS) only application operated by Andrew Raymond Kelly ("we," "us," or "our").

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy (available in the App and at https://blockapp.site/privacy). If you do not agree, do not use the App.

If you are under the age of 18, or under the age of majority where you live, you may use the App only with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who accepts these Terms on your behalf.

2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE

Description of Service

BlockApp is a local utility that lets you create block lists, select apps and websites to restrict, set optional schedules, and apply blocking through Apple's Screen Time APIs.

The App also offers optional spoiler shields for live sports, motorsport series (including oval racing), and Formula 1. When you enable these features, the App may fetch public schedule information to determine when to apply blocking during games or race sessions. The App does not read your device Calendar app or EventKit.

The App is intended for personal self-control on a device you own or are authorized to manage. It does not provide accounts, cloud backup, multi-device sync, counseling, medical advice, mental health treatment, addiction therapy, legal advice, or emergency services.

The App may offer a Home Screen widget and system shortcuts (App Intents) to show blocking status or trigger block and unblock actions. Those features use the same locally stored lists and settings as the main App and do not transmit your block data to us.

3. ELIGIBILITY AND AGE RATING

Eligibility and Age Rating

The App is rated 4+ on the Apple App Store. That rating describes content suitability (the App contains no objectionable material), not a minimum age to use iOS, Screen Time, or BlockApp.

The App is available only on iPhone (iOS) only. You are responsible for ensuring your use complies with applicable laws and with Apple's App Store terms and iOS license agreements.

If you contact us for support and you are under 13 years old, a parent or guardian should send the message on your behalf. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 except as permitted by law.

4. SCREEN TIME PERMISSION AND USER RESPONSIBILITIES

Screen Time Permission and User Responsibilities

Blocking requires that you grant Screen Time authorization through iOS. You are solely responsible for:

• The apps, websites, and schedules you configure.
• Understanding that blocking may prevent access to apps or sites you or others on the device may need.
• Maintaining access to iOS Settings if you need to change or revoke permissions.

You agree not to use the App for unlawful purposes or to interfere with others' lawful use of a device unless you have authority to manage that device (for example, as a parent, guardian, or device owner).

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your block lists, schedules, spoiler settings, and restrictions comply with applicable law and with contractual or legal obligations that apply to you (including employment, school, court orders, and household or custody arrangements). We do not provide legal advice and do not review whether your configuration is lawful or appropriate for your situation.

5. NOT A PARENTAL CONTROL OR MDM PRODUCT

Not a Parental Control or MDM Product

BlockApp is a personal self-control utility, not a parental-control product, surveillance tool, mobile device management (MDM) solution, or enterprise monitoring service.

We do not market the App for covert monitoring or for restricting devices without the knowledge and authority of the device owner or authorized manager.

You represent and warrant that you have the legal right and authority to configure restrictions on any device where you use the App. You are solely responsible for claims by other users of a shared device affected by your settings.

6. SPOILER SCHEDULE FEATURES

Spoiler Schedule Features

Spoiler shields are optional convenience features. You opt in by creating or configuring a spoiler-type block list for sports, motorsport, or Formula 1.

Schedule times come from public third-party sources (including Jolpica for Formula 1 and ESPN for supported sports and motorsport leagues). We do not guarantee that schedules are accurate, complete, timely, or available.

We may add, change, or remove spoiler data sources, leagues, or motorsport series at any time without notice. Continued availability of any spoiler feature is not guaranteed.

Sync requires network access. When offline or when a provider is unavailable, the App may rely on the last cached schedule on your device.

Spoiler blocking windows may start early or end late based on settings you choose (such as padding before or after events). Mis-timed or missed blocking is possible and is an inherent risk of best-effort schedule-based blocking.

BlockApp is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Formula 1, ESPN, NASCAR, any league, team, broadcaster, or rights holder. Trademarks and logos belong to their respective owners.

7. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Third-Party Services

The App depends on services and data sources outside our direct control, including Apple iOS and Screen Time, public schedule and image providers used by spoiler features, and optional providers described in our Privacy Policy (such as Sentry for crash reporting and Expo Application Services for in-app JavaScript update delivery when enabled in your build).

We do not operate those third parties and are not responsible for their availability, security, accuracy, privacy practices, or terms. When spoiler features run, your device may request data from independent hosts (for example Jolpica and ESPN); those providers are not BlockApp account processors and their policies apply to those requests.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for loss or harm arising from third-party outages, API or policy changes, erroneous or incomplete schedule data, or discontinuation of third-party services.

8. THIRD-PARTY TRADEMARKS AND LOGOS

Third-Party Trademarks and Logos

The App may display third-party league, team, constructor, or broadcaster names and logos retrieved from public sources solely to help you identify sports, motorsport, or racing content.

Such display is for identification and convenience only. It does not imply endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation by any rights holder.

If you are a rights holder and believe any display infringes your rights, contact us at support@tcktd.live. We may remove or modify display of specific assets at our discretion.

9. LIMITATIONS OF BLOCKING

Limitations of Blocking

BlockApp relies on Apple-provided APIs. Blocking effectiveness depends on iOS version, device settings, and Apple's platform behavior.

If you use spoiler shields, blocking windows also depend on third-party schedule data and sync availability as described in "Spoiler Schedule Features."

We do not guarantee that blocking will be uninterrupted, error-free, or impossible to bypass. Users may be able to disable blocking by revoking Screen Time permission, changing system settings, or other methods permitted by iOS. The App is provided as a convenience, not a security, surveillance, or parental-control guarantee.

The App is not a substitute for professional medical, psychological, or behavioral health care. Do not rely on the App for diagnosis, treatment, or crisis intervention.

10. PLATFORM, ENTITLEMENT, AND APP STORE CHANGES

Platform, Entitlement, and App Store Changes

The App depends on Apple's Family Controls entitlement, Screen Time APIs, and App Store distribution. Apple may change, restrict, or revoke these APIs or entitlements, remove the App from the App Store, or alter iOS behavior at any time.

We are not liable for loss of blocking functionality, data, or access to the App resulting from iOS updates, Apple policy changes, entitlement revocation, App Store removal, or discontinuation of third-party schedule APIs.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature of the App at any time without liability.

We may deliver updates through the Apple App Store and, where supported, through in-app update services (such as Expo Application Services) that download replacement JavaScript bundles compatible with your installed app version. Such updates do not replace native code or iOS extensions. Your continued use after an update is applied constitutes acceptance of the updated App behavior where permitted by law.

11. WEBSITE BLOCKING LIMITATIONS

Website Blocking Limitations

BlockApp blocks websites by domain names you enter. It does not provide full content filtering, keyword blocking, or network-level inspection of web traffic.

Blocking may not apply to all browsers, in-app web views, private relay or VPN configurations, or system features outside Apple's supported Screen Time / Managed Settings behavior. You are responsible for verifying that your rules work for your device and use cases.

12. ASSUMPTION OF RISK

Assumption of Risk

You understand that distraction blocking is inherently imperfect and that you assume all risks associated with configuring restrictions on your device or on devices you are authorized to manage.

If you use spoiler shields, you also assume risks that schedule data may be wrong, delayed, or unavailable, which may cause blocking to start late, end early, or not apply when expected.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you accept that we are not responsible for consequences of missed messages, delayed communications, lost opportunities, or similar outcomes tied to blocked apps or websites.

13. EMERGENCY AND CRITICAL SERVICES

Emergency and Critical Services

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the App does not prevent access to emergency services (such as calling local emergency numbers), medical alerts, financial services, work-critical tools, or other communications you may need.

Do not block apps or websites that you or others on the device may need for safety, health, legal obligations, or urgent personal or professional matters. We are not liable for harm arising from blocked access to such services.

14. SAFETY-CRITICAL APPS ACKNOWLEDGMENT

Safety-Critical Apps Acknowledgment

Before enabling blocking, you acknowledge that you are responsible for not restricting access to safety-critical apps and services, including without limitation: Phone, Messages, FaceTime, medical alert apps, banking and payment apps, navigation, and work or school tools you may need on short notice.

You agree to review your block lists and schedules regularly and to maintain an alternate way to reach emergency services and critical contacts.

We do not provide a list of "safe" apps to block. Your configuration choices are yours alone.

15. NO ACCOUNTS; LOCAL DATA

No Accounts; Local Data

The App does not require registration. Your lists and settings are stored locally on your device.

We do not provide cloud backup, cloud sync, or remote recovery of your lists or settings. We have no obligation to restore data you lose due to device failure, iOS updates, app deletion, factory reset, or failure to back up your device through Apple's backup tools.

Deleting the App removes locally stored App data subject to iOS behavior. Screen Time restrictions you configured may remain in iOS Settings until you change them manually.

16. FEES AND PAYMENTS

Fees and Payments

The App is currently offered without charge for its core features. If we introduce paid features, subscriptions, or in-app purchases in the future, pricing and billing will be displayed before you purchase and processed through Apple.

All purchases made through the App Store are subject to Apple's payment terms and refund policies. We do not process payment card information directly.

17. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND LICENSE

Intellectual Property and License

The App, including its design, code, and branding (excluding Apple and third-party trademarks), is owned by Andrew Raymond Kelly and protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Subject to these Terms, you receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes on Apple-branded devices you own or control, in accordance with the Apple App Store rules.

You retain ownership of the content you create (such as list names). You do not acquire any ownership in the App itself.

18. LICENSE RESTRICTIONS

License Restrictions

Except as expressly permitted, you may not:

• Copy, modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the App.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive source code from the App, except where applicable law prohibits this restriction.
• Rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, distribute, or commercially exploit the App.
• Remove, alter, or obscure proprietary notices.
• Circumvent technical limits, security measures, or Apple platform rules.
• Use the App to monitor or control a device without proper authority.

19. PROHIBITED USES

• Scraping, automated access, or unauthorized data extraction from the App.
• Misrepresenting your identity or authority to manage a device.
• Imposing restrictions in violation of a court order, custody agreement, employment or school policy, or other legal duty when you lack authority to do so.

20. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the App will meet your requirements, operate without interruption, be error-free, or be free of harmful components.

Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of implied warranties. To the extent permitted by law, any implied warranties are limited to the shortest duration allowed by law.

21. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANDREW RAYMOND KELLY AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS OR THE APP, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS ($50).

The limitations in this section apply even if any remedy fails of its essential purpose.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

22. LIMITATION OF TIME TO BRING CLAIMS

Limitation of Time to Bring Claims

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms or the App must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action accrued. Otherwise, that claim is permanently barred.

23. RELEASE

Release

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you release us and our affiliates from liability for claims, demands, and damages arising out of or connected with your use of the App, your blocking configuration, or reliance on blocking effectiveness, except where such a release is prohibited by law.

24. INDEMNIFICATION

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Andrew Raymond Kelly and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:

• Your use or misuse of the App.
• Your block lists, schedules, spoiler configurations, or device restrictions.
• Your violation of these Terms or applicable law.
• Your violation of any third-party rights, including unauthorized control of another person's device.
• Claims by other users of a shared device affected by your settings.

We may assume exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification, and you agree to cooperate with our defense.

25. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Dispute Resolution

Informal resolution first. Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us at support@tcktd.live and allow at least 30 days to try to resolve the dispute informally.

Binding arbitration (U.S. users). If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, except where prohibited by law, any dispute arising out of these Terms or the App shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual action in small claims court if it qualifies.

Arbitration opt-out. You may opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms by emailing support@tcktd.live with your name, the email address associated with your device (if any), and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. If you opt out, the arbitration agreement does not apply to you, but the rest of these Terms remains in effect.

Class action waiver. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

Jury trial waiver. To the extent permitted by law, you and we waive any right to a jury trial in any proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App.

If you are located in the European Union, United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction where mandatory consumer protection laws require local courts or prohibit binding arbitration or class action waivers, those mandatory rights and remedies apply to you and nothing in this section limits them.

26. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE

Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of Pennsylvania, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction provide otherwise.

Subject to the Dispute Resolution section and mandatory local law, you agree that exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any permitted court proceeding shall lie in the state and federal courts located in Pennsylvania, United States.

27. APPLE APP STORE TERMS

Apple App Store Terms

The App is made available through the Apple App Store. These Terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.

Apple has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support for the App. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no warranty obligation with respect to the App.

Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App, including product liability, legal or regulatory claims, or intellectual property claims.

In the event of any third-party claim that the App infringes intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are responsible for investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of such claim to the extent required by these Terms.

Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary of the license granted to you.

You must comply with applicable App Store terms and Usage Rules.

If there is a conflict between these Terms and the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions or Licensed Application End User License Agreement regarding your use of the App obtained from Apple, Apple's terms control solely with respect to Apple.

28. FEEDBACK

Feedback

If you submit feedback, ideas, or suggestions about the App, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, modify, and incorporate that feedback without compensation or attribution to you.

29. TERMINATION

Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it from your device and revoking Screen Time permission in iOS Settings.

We may suspend, discontinue, or modify the App, or terminate or restrict your license to use the App, at any time, with or without notice, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without liability to you.

Upon termination, your license ends and you must cease use and delete the App. Sections that by their nature should survive (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, governing law, and general provisions) will survive termination.

30. CHANGES TO TERMS

Changes to Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. Updated Terms will be posted in the App with a revised effective date. Material changes may require you to accept the updated Terms before using certain features (such as enabling Screen Time). Your continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance where permitted by law. If you do not agree to updated Terms, stop using the App and delete it.

31. GENERAL PROVISIONS

General Provisions

Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App and supersede prior agreements or understandings on the subject.

No reliance. You acknowledge that you have not relied on any representation, warranty, or statement not expressly set out in these Terms or the Privacy Policy.

Operator. The App is offered by Andrew Raymond Kelly in an individual developer capacity unless we identify a different legal entity in writing.

No third-party beneficiaries. Except for Apple and its subsidiaries as expressly stated in "Apple App Store Terms," these Terms do not confer any third-party beneficiary rights on any other person or entity.

Severability. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
