These Terms of Use are the agreement between you and RisenApps, an individual developer ("we", "us"), covering the Step Time app for iPhone (the "App"). They also serve as the end user licence agreement required by the App Store. By downloading or using the App you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not use the App.
Some sections below describe features the App may offer in the future, such as paid features, advertising, and usage analytics. They apply only if and when those features are actually present in the version you are using.
This agreement is between you and us alone. Apple Inc. is not a party to it. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the App and its content. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the App.
We grant you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive licence to use the App on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. This licence does not let you:
Distribute the App or make it available over a network where several devices could use it at once.
Rent, lease, or sell it.
Attempt to derive its source code.
Step Time counts the steps you take and converts them into screen time that you spend to open apps you have chosen to shield. Shielding uses Apple's Screen Time frameworks. Step counting uses the motion sensors in your iPhone.
You choose which apps to shield, you choose the rate at which steps earn time, and you can change or remove those choices at any time.
Step counts, distance, and calorie figures come from your device's sensors and from formulas applied to the height and weight you enter. They are estimates. They are not medical or clinical data.
The App is a general fitness and habit tool. It is not a medical device and gives no medical advice. Do not rely on it to make decisions about your health. Talk to a doctor before starting or changing any exercise routine, and stop exercising if you feel unwell. You are responsible for walking safely and for paying attention to your surroundings rather than to your phone.
Shielding depends on features Apple provides and on permissions you grant. It can stop working, or be undone, in ordinary ways: you can revoke Screen Time permission, change your selections, delete the App, reset or restore your device, or use another device entirely. Apple may also change how these features behave.
Because of this, you must not rely on the App where being unable to open an app could cause harm or loss. Do not shield apps you may need urgently, including phone, messaging, maps, medical, banking, or emergency apps. We are not responsible for anything you miss while an app is shielded.
The App is a tool for your own self-control on your own device. It is not a parental control product and is not designed to restrict anybody other than the person holding the phone.
The App asks for Motion & Fitness access to count steps, Screen Time access to shield the apps you choose, and notification permission so it can offer to bring you back to the App from a shield screen. You can refuse or later withdraw any of these in iOS Settings. Refusing a permission disables the part of the App that depends on it.
You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes and only as these terms allow. You agree not to interfere with the App's operation, to work around any limit it imposes, or to use it in a way that breaks the law or infringes anybody's rights.
If you are under the age at which you can enter a contract where you live, you may use the App only with the consent of a parent or guardian, who accepts these terms on your behalf. The App is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
The App may offer paid features, one-off purchases, or subscriptions. Where it does:
All purchases are made through Apple and billed to your Apple Account. Apple's payment terms apply, not ours.
Prices are shown in the App before you buy. We may change prices for future purchases and for subscription renewals, with the notice Apple requires.
Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before that period ends. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings. Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription.
Where a free trial is offered, any unused part of it is lost when you buy a subscription covering the same feature.
Refunds are handled by Apple under its own policies. We cannot issue refunds for purchases made through the App Store.
Purchases can be restored on devices signed in to the same Apple Account.
The App may show advertising, including advertising supplied by third parties. Where it does:
Adverts may be chosen based on limited information about your device or your use of the App. iOS asks your permission before any tracking across other companies' apps and websites, and you can refuse or withdraw it at any time in Settings.
We are not responsible for the content of third-party adverts or for anything you buy from an advertiser. Dealings with an advertiser are between you and them.
Where paid features are offered, they may remove advertising. That is described in the App at the point of purchase.
Today the App keeps your steps, goals, and settings on your device. Future versions may collect usage and diagnostic information to help us understand how the App is used and to fix faults.
What is collected, why, and who it is shared with is set out in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms and is published alongside them. If those practices change we will update the Privacy Policy and the App's privacy information on the App Store before the change takes effect.
The App, its design, its code, and its name belong to us or to our licensors, and are protected by copyright and other laws. Nothing in these terms transfers any of that to you beyond the licence in Section 2.
If anyone claims the App infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are responsible for investigating, defending, settling, and discharging that claim.
Where you use the App with a third-party service, you must comply with that service's terms as well as these. Apple's own terms for the App Store and for Apple Media Services continue to apply to your use of the App.
We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the App, and may update these terms. When we change these terms materially we will change the effective date at the top and publish the new version at the address where you found this one. Continuing to use the App after that means you accept the change. If you do not accept it, stop using the App and delete it.
This agreement lasts until ended. You can end it at any time by deleting the App. We may end it if you break these terms. Sections 4, 5, 12, 16, 17, and 18 survive it ending.
The App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, to the fullest extent the law allows. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, accurate, or that it will meet your requirements.
If the App fails to conform to any warranty that does apply, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the App to you if you paid one. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation at all in respect of the App.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you, and you may have rights that these terms cannot take away.
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss, or for lost profits, lost data, or anything you missed or failed to do while an app was shielded. Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability to you is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the App in the twelve months before the claim, or ten US dollars ($10.00).
Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.
We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claim you or a third party makes relating to the App or your use of it. That includes product liability claims, any claim that the App fails to comply with a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection or privacy law.
You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a United States Government embargo or designated by the United States Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any United States Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
These terms are governed by the laws of Vietnam, without regard to its conflict of laws rules, and the courts of Vietnam have jurisdiction over any dispute. This does not remove any protection you have under the mandatory law of the country where you live.
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms. On your acceptance of them, Apple has the right, and is deemed to have accepted the right, to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.
If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest continues to apply. Our not enforcing a right is not a waiver of it. These terms, with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between us about the App.
