• Tap Guardian requires a paid subscription after the free trial. Subscriptions are billed monthly ($6.99/month) or annually ($49.99/year) through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
• Payment: Payment is charged to your iTunes Account (Apple) or Google Play account at confirmation of purchase.
• Auto-renewal: Your subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period at the same price.
• Managing subscriptions: You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple App Store settings (Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions) or Google Play settings (Google Play > Menu > Subscriptions).
• Free trial: Every new account includes a 14-day free trial with full access to all features. No credit card or payment information is required to start the trial, and you will not be charged automatically when it ends. When the trial expires, a paid subscription is required to continue using the Service. Until you subscribe, the Service's features — including screen time enforcement, monitoring, and location updates — stop functioning. Free trials are limited to one per account, and we may change trial availability, length, or terms for new accounts at any time.
• Effect of expiration or cancellation: If your free trial ends or your paid subscription expires, is canceled, lapses, or is refunded for any reason, ALL Tap Guardian features stop functioning — including screen time enforcement, app blocking, monitoring, geofence alerts, SOS alerts, and location updates. Your child's device will be unmonitored and unrestricted by Tap Guardian until an active subscription is restored, and any location shown in the parent app may be a stale “last known” position from before the lapse.
• Refunds are handled according to the policies of the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
• We reserve the right to change pricing with reasonable notice. Price changes will not affect your current billing cycle.

• Use the App to monitor anyone who is not your minor child or legal dependent.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the App.
• Use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law.
• Transmit harmful, threatening, abusive, or objectionable content through the App.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or other users' accounts.
• Use automated systems (bots, scrapers) to interact with the App.
• Use the App to monitor anyone other than your own minor child or legal dependent. You are solely responsible for complying with the laws that apply to monitoring in your jurisdiction.

• The App is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied.
• We do not guarantee that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure.
• Tap Guardian is a tool to assist parenting — it does not replace parental supervision and responsibility.
• Location accuracy may vary due to device hardware, network conditions, and environmental factors.
• NO GUARANTEE OF SAFETY OR MONITORING. TAP GUARDIAN DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOUR CHILD'S SAFETY, THE ACCURACY, TIMELINESS, OR AVAILABILITY OF LOCATION INFORMATION, OR THE DELIVERY OF ANY ALERT OR NOTIFICATION. Location data may be delayed, inaccurate, or unavailable due to GPS conditions, operating-system power management, airplane mode, a powered-off or offline device, or permission changes on the child's device. Monitoring and enforcement features can be circumvented (for example by clock changes, VPNs, GPS spoofing, force-stopping the app, or a factory reset), and we do not warrant that they cannot be bypassed. Do not rely on Tap Guardian as your sole means of locating or protecting your child, and never rely on it in an emergency.
• SOS is not an emergency service. The SOS feature sends a notification to the parent's device only. It does not contact 911, police, fire, medical, or any other emergency service, and delivery is not guaranteed — notifications may be delayed or fail due to network conditions, device settings, battery, or service interruptions. In an emergency, always call 911 (or your local emergency number) directly.
• The Service, including location tracking and enforcement, operates only while you maintain an active trial or subscription (see Section 5).
• We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service or any feature at any time, with reasonable notice where practicable. We are not liable for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation, including any resulting gap in monitoring or enforcement.
• We are not responsible for any decisions made based on information provided by the App.

• You may delete your account at any time through the App settings. Deletion requests enter a 14-day grace period during which you can cancel by signing back in; after the grace period, all associated data is permanently removed from production systems, and from encrypted backups within 30 days.
• We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms or engage in abusive behavior.
• Upon termination, your right to use the App ceases immediately.

• Acknowledgement: You and Tap Guardian acknowledge that this EULA is concluded between you and Tap Guardian only, and not with Apple, and that Tap Guardian, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content.
• Scope of License: The license granted to you for the App is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on any Apple-branded products that you own or control and as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the App may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
• Maintenance and Support: Tap Guardian is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services with respect to the App, as specified in this EULA or as required under applicable law. You and Tap Guardian acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App.
• Warranty: Tap Guardian is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the App to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of Tap Guardian
• Product Claims: Tap Guardian, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession and/or use of the App, including but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
• Intellectual Property Rights: You and Tap Guardian acknowledge that, in the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, Tap Guardian, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim.
• Legal Compliance: You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Developer Contact: Direct any questions, complaints, or claims with respect to the App to: support@tapguardian.io.
• Third-Party Beneficiary: You and Tap Guardian acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of this EULA, and that, upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this EULA against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.

For Apple-distributed apps, Apple's Standard EULA applies as a fallback to the extent any provision of this EULA is more restrictive than Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement available at apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula.

Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights.

• Informal resolution first: Before filing any claim, you agree to contact us at legal@tapguardian.io and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.

• Class action waiver: You and Tap Guardian agree that disputes will be resolved on an individual basis only. You waive any right to participate in class actions, class arbitrations, or representative proceedings.
