Agreement to Terms

By downloading, installing, or using Anchor ("the App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.

Description of Service

Anchor is a habit-building app that helps users complete routines by temporarily blocking access to selected apps until tasks are verified as complete. The App uses Apple's Screen Time API to manage app blocking on your device.

License

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for your personal use, subject to these Terms.

You may not:

  • Copy, modify, or distribute the App
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code
  • Use the App for any unlawful purpose
  • Attempt to circumvent any security features of the App

User Responsibilities

You are responsible for:

  • Your use of the App and any routines you create
  • Ensuring the App is appropriate for your needs
  • Any NFC tags or QR codes you create or use with the App
  • Maintaining access to your device and any physical anchors you set up

You acknowledge that app blocking features may prevent access to apps on your device, including in situations where you may need immediate access. You are solely responsible for managing your routines and ensuring you can complete tasks or access emergency features when needed.

Subscriptions

Anchor offers auto-renewing subscriptions that unlock certain features. The current subscription options, prices, and billing periods are displayed at the point of purchase inside the App.

Billing. Subscriptions are sold and billed by Apple through the App Store using the payment method on file with your Apple ID. Anchor does not see or store your payment details.

Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period at the price of the selected plan.

Cancellation. You can cancel a subscription at any time through your Apple ID account settings (Settings → your name → Subscriptions). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you retain access until then.

Free trials and introductory offers. If a free trial or introductory offer is provided, any unused portion is forfeited when you purchase a subscription, where applicable. A free trial converts to a paid subscription at the regular price unless you cancel before the trial ends.

Refunds. Subscription refunds are handled by Apple in accordance with their refund policy. To request a refund, contact Apple Support. We are generally unable to issue refunds directly.

Price changes. We may change subscription prices from time to time. Apple will notify you of any increase and, where required, ask for your consent before the new price takes effect.

Subscription infrastructure. We use RevenueCat as our subscription infrastructure provider to validate purchases and deliver entitlements. See our Privacy Policy for details on what information is shared with RevenueCat.

Subscriptions are also subject to Apple's Standard End User License Agreement for licensed application end users, unless a separate custom EULA is provided.

Intellectual Property

The App, including its design, features, code, and content, is owned by us and protected by intellectual property laws. The Anchor name, logo, and related marks are our trademarks. You may not use our intellectual property without prior written permission.

Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

We do not guarantee that:

  • The App will help you build habits or change behavior
  • App blocking will work in all circumstances
  • The App will be compatible with future iOS versions
  • NFC or QR code verification will work with all devices or tags

Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

  • Loss of data or routines
  • Inability to access apps on your device
  • Any damages resulting from your use or inability to use the App
  • Any issues with NFC tags, QR codes, or other verification methods

Our total liability for any claims arising from your use of the App shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for subscriptions or in-app purchases in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) USD $50.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses arising from your use of the App or violation of these Terms.

Changes to the App

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the App at any time without notice. We are not liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the App.

Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the new Terms on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.

Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to the App at any time, without prior notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users, us, or third parties.

Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
