Terms of Service

1. Agreeing to these terms

These terms are the agreement between you and Screen Fasting (“we”, “us”). By using our website or app — including a Welcome Fast you take without an account — you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use Screen Fasting.

2. What Screen Fasting does

Screen Fasting guides you through setting a new Assistive Access passcode on your iPhone, one you never see. We save that passcode on our server before your phone changes, and when your fast ends we email it to you. That’s the whole service: we keep the code safe while you take a break, then give it back.

The passcode is only for Assistive Access. It is not your phone’s passcode, and it doesn’t unlock anything without your phone in hand.

Assistive Access is a feature of Apple’s iOS. Screen Fasting is not made by, affiliated with, or endorsed by Apple, and Apple may change how Assistive Access works at any time.

3. Who can use it

You must be at least 13 years old to use Screen Fasting. If you’re under 18, you need a parent’s or guardian’s permission, and they agree to these terms on your behalf.

4. Your email and account

Your email address is how your code gets back to you, so please type it carefully and use one you can reach. A Welcome Fast needs only an email address. To sign in, we email you a one-time code — there’s no password.

You’re responsible for keeping your email account secure, because anyone who can read your inbox can sign in as you and see your codes once your fasts end.

5. Your fast

You choose how long each fast lasts, and you agree to that length when you start. A running fast can be made longer, but never shorter, and we can’t end one early for you.

You’re never truly stuck. During a fast, the apps you chose for Assistive Access — like Calls and Maps — keep working. And if you ever have to, you can erase your phone and set it up again — that always gets you out.

Please don’t start a fast if you may need apps outside Assistive Access while it runs — for example, if you’re on call, caring for someone, or rely on an app for your health. You decide whether a fast is right for you.

6. Free and Pro plans

Screen Fasting is free to use within the limits shown on our pricing page. Pro raises those limits and costs US$45 a year (US$3.75 a month, billed annually). Payments are handled by our payment provider; we never see or store your full card details.

Pro renews automatically each year until you cancel. You can cancel any time, and you keep Pro until the end of the year you’ve paid for. Cancelling never ends or shortens a running fast. If we change the price, we’ll tell you before your next renewal, and the new price applies only from that renewal.

7. Refunds

If Pro isn’t right for you, email hello@tryscreenfasting.com within 30 days of any charge — your first purchase or a yearly renewal — and we’ll refund it in full to your original payment method. No questions asked.

A refund returns your money, never your phone: if you ask for one during a fast, the fast still runs to its end, and your code arrives as planned.

8. Fair use

Please don’t:

• copy, reverse-engineer, or try to get around how Screen Fasting works — including trying to get a code before its fast ends;
• create accounts automatically or in bulk, or otherwise abuse the free plan;
• try to access anyone else’s account, fasts, or codes;
• use Screen Fasting for anything unlawful, or to control someone else’s phone without their consent;
• file a chargeback in bad faith instead of asking us for a refund.

9. Stopping and deleting your data

You can stop using Screen Fasting whenever you like. To delete your account and data, email us and we’ll take care of it. If a fast is still running, we’ll wait until it ends and its code reaches you, so you’re never left without it.

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms. Even then, we’ll still email you the code for any fast that’s running.

10. If Screen Fasting shuts down

If we ever shut Screen Fasting down, we’ll give you at least 30 days’ notice by email, send the code for every running fast, and refund the unused part of any Pro year you’ve paid for.

11. Disclaimers

We work hard to keep Screen Fasting running and to get every code to you on time, but the service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind. We can’t guarantee it will always be available or free of errors.

Your code reaches you by email, which depends on providers outside our control, so it can occasionally be delayed or land in your spam folder. If it hasn’t arrived when your fast ends, check your spam folder, or write to us and we’ll send it again. We’re not responsible for changes Apple makes to iOS or Assistive Access, or for how your device behaves.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we’re not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential loss, including losing access to your device, apps, or data, or a code arriving late or not at all. Our total liability to you for any claim about Screen Fasting is limited to the amount you paid us for it.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that can’t be limited by law, or takes away consumer rights you have where you live.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we’ll change the date at the top of this page, and if a change is significant we’ll email account holders before it takes effect. If you keep using Screen Fasting after a change, you accept the updated terms.

14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Bangladesh, and any dispute will be handled by the courts of Bangladesh. This doesn’t take away any protection you have under the consumer laws of the country where you live.
