Terms of Use

Last updated: September 11, 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of the MindLock app and website (the “Service”). By downloading or using MindLock you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. What MindLock is

MindLock is a self-control tool. It lets you lock apps on your own device and asks you a quiz before opening them. It relies on Apple’s Screen Time framework and works only to the extent iOS allows. MindLock does not guarantee that a lock cannot be bypassed, including by deleting the app or changing device settings, and is not a parental-control or security product.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age required in your country to use apps with in-app purchases, to use MindLock. By using the Service you confirm that you meet this requirement.

3. Licence

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use MindLock on Apple devices you own or control, as permitted by the App Store terms. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, reverse-engineer or create derivative works of the Service, or use it in any unlawful way.

4. Free features and MindLock Pro

The core features are free. MindLock Pro is an auto-renewing subscription sold through the App Store:

• Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
• The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends at the price shown in the App Store.
• You can manage or cancel subscriptions in iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
• Refunds are handled by Apple under the App Store terms.
• Prices may vary by country and may change; changes apply to future renewals and are communicated by Apple.

5. Quiz content

Quiz questions are provided for the purpose of adding friction before opening apps. We try to keep them accurate, but they are not educational material and may contain mistakes. If you find one, please tell us.

6. Acceptable use

Do not use the Service to interfere with other people’s devices, attempt to access our systems without authorisation, or disrupt the Service. We may suspend access for misuse.

7. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what data stays on your device, what reaches our servers and why. It forms part of these Terms.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that locks cannot be circumvented.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, MindLock and its developer are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for loss of data, profits or opportunities, arising from your use of or inability to use the Service. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

10. Apple

These Terms are between you and MindLock, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content and has no obligation to provide maintenance or support. Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies where it grants you more rights. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms.

11. Changes and termination

We may update the Service or these Terms. Material changes will be announced in the app or on this page, and the date above will change. Continued use after a change means you accept the new Terms. You can stop using the Service at any time by deleting the app; we may terminate access for breach of these Terms.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the developer’s country of residence, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, unless mandatory consumer law in your country provides otherwise.
