2. Description of Service

Dial is a screen time management application that helps users reduce phone usage and improve digital wellbeing by:

  • Blocking access to selected applications during user-defined restriction periods
  • Tracking screen time usage and providing analytics
  • Implementing "Strict Mode" sessions that enforce app blocking

2.1 Strict Mode

When Strict Mode is enabled (default setting), you cannot disable app restrictions during an active restriction session except by purchasing an "Undial" pass. There is no other method to exit Strict Mode during an active session, including but not limited to force-closing the app, restarting your device, or any other technical workaround. By using Strict Mode, you explicitly acknowledge and accept this limitation.

2.2 No Subscription Model

Dial does not operate on a subscription basis. The App is free to use for its core screen time blocking and tracking features. The only in-app purchase available is the "Undial" consumable purchase described below.

3. In-App Purchases

3.1 Undial Purchase

During an active Strict Mode restriction session, you may purchase an "Undial" pass to immediately exit Strict Mode and restore access to blocked applications. Undial pricing uses a chain-based escalation system starting at $0.59 USD and increasing to $1.09 USD and $1.49 USD (capped) based on repeated undial and reblock patterns. See our Undial Pricing page for complete details. This is a consumable in-app purchase that:

  • Is consumed immediately upon successful purchase
  • Ends the current restriction session
  • Does not provide ongoing benefits or subscription access
  • Must be purchased again for each instance you wish to exit Strict Mode early
  • Price is determined by your undial chain status at the time of purchase

3.2 No Refunds

All Undial purchases are final and non-refundable. Because the Undial purchase is a consumable item that provides immediate benefit (ending your restriction session), refunds will not be issued under any circumstances, including but not limited to:

  • Accidental purchases
  • Change of mind after purchase
  • Technical issues occurring after the restriction session has been ended
  • Dissatisfaction with the service

By purchasing an Undial pass, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to this no-refund policy.

3.3 Payment Processing

All in-app purchases are processed through the Apple App Store. Your purchase will be charged to your Apple ID account. Pricing may vary by region and is subject to change without notice.

4. User Accounts and Authentication

4.1 Account Creation

To use the App, you must create an account by providing a valid email address. You are responsible for:

  • Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
  • All activities that occur under your account
  • Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized use

4.2 Accurate Information

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during onboarding and account creation, including demographic information such as name, birthdate, gender, occupation, and baseline usage data.

5. Use of iOS ScreenTime API

The App utilizes Apple's ScreenTime API (FamilyControls, ManagedSettings, and DeviceActivity frameworks) to:

  • Monitor your app usage
  • Apply restrictions to selected applications
  • Generate usage reports and analytics

By using the App, you grant permission for the App to access and utilize these iOS system features. You acknowledge that these restrictions are enforced at the operating system level and cannot be bypassed during an active Strict Mode session except through the Undial purchase mechanism.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree NOT to:

  • Attempt to circumvent, disable, or interfere with the App's restriction features
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App
  • Use the App for any unlawful purpose
  • Share your account credentials with others
  • Use automated systems or scripts to interact with the App
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the App's systems or infrastructure

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

  • Warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement
  • Warranties that the App will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free
  • Warranties regarding the accuracy or reliability of screen time data or analytics

You acknowledge that the App is a tool to assist with digital wellbeing but does not guarantee any specific outcomes regarding behavior change, productivity, or mental health.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

  • Adversity Labs LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to your use of the App
  • Our total liability to you for all claims arising from your use of the App shall not exceed the amount you have paid us in the past twelve (12) months, or $10.00 USD, whichever is greater
  • We are not liable for any damages resulting from your inability to access blocked applications during a restriction session, including emergency situations

You assume full responsibility for the consequences of enabling Strict Mode and blocking access to applications. In emergency situations, you may use the Undial purchase to restore access.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Adversity Labs LLC, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:

  • Your use of the App
  • Your violation of these Terms
  • Your violation of any rights of another party

10. Data Collection and Privacy

Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy. By using the App, you consent to the data collection and processing practices described in our Privacy Policy.

11. Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by:

  • Posting an updated version within the App
  • Sending an email to your registered email address
  • Displaying a notification when you next open the App

Your continued use of the App after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

13.3 Class Action Waiver

14. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.
