Terms

About these terms

These terms cover the Bouncer website, launch waitlist, and iPhone app when it becomes available. Together, they are the “Service.” By using the Service, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Pre-release website and waitlist

Bouncer is not yet available on the App Store. Information on this website may change before release and does not promise a launch date, price, final feature set, or availability in a specific country.

By joining the waitlist, you ask Bouncer to send one launch notification to the email address you provide. Joining the waitlist does not reserve access, create a purchase, or guarantee an invitation.

What Bouncer does

Bouncer helps you restrict distracting apps by applying rules through Apple Screen Time APIs. You choose your rules and remain responsible for how you configure and use them.

Bouncer depends on Apple system services. We cannot promise that blocking will always be uninterrupted or that using Bouncer will produce a particular personal result. Do not rely on Bouncer for an emergency, safety-critical duty, or legal obligation.

Subscriptions and purchases

When the app becomes available, purchases will be processed through Apple’s In-App Purchase system. Bouncer does not receive or store your card details.

Any subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it through your Apple ID settings before renewal. The price, billing period, trial terms, and renewal date shown by Apple when you subscribe control your purchase. Cancelling stops future renewals but does not shorten the period already paid for.

Apple handles App Store refunds under its policies. We cannot issue those refunds directly.

Acceptable use

Use the Service only for lawful, personal purposes. Do not submit another person’s email address without permission, interfere with or overload the Service, evade its security or usage limits, use automated access, reverse-engineer it except where the law permits, or use it in a way that harms another person.

Our content and software

Bouncer’s software, website, mascot, name, text, graphics, and other brand assets are protected by intellectual property laws. We give you a limited, personal, non-transferable right to use the Service under these terms and the applicable App Store rules. We do not transfer ownership of the Service or its content to you.

Third-party services

The Service depends on third parties, including Apple and Cloudflare. Their own terms and privacy policies apply to the services they provide. We are not responsible for the content or practices of a third-party website or service that you choose to open.

Availability and changes

We may change, suspend, or discontinue part or all of the Service. We do not promise uninterrupted or error-free availability. Where reasonable, we will give notice of a material change that affects an available paid service.

Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the extent the law permits, we make no implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or that the Service will meet every expectation. Some places do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so these exclusions may not fully apply to you.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Bouncer is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive loss, or for lost profits, revenue, data, or goodwill arising from the Service. Nothing in these terms excludes liability or consumer rights that the law does not allow us to exclude.

Apple App Store

When Bouncer is distributed through the Apple App Store, these terms are between you and Bouncer, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its support. You must also follow the App Store terms. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce the App Store provisions against you.

Updates

We may update these terms when the website, app, or law changes. The effective date at the top shows the current version. If a change materially affects your rights in an available service, we will provide reasonable notice. Continuing to use the Service after the change means you accept the updated terms.
