Terms of Use

Last updated: [PUBLISH DATE]

These Terms of Use apply to your use of HanaLock. By using HanaLock, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

What HanaLock Does

HanaLock helps you add friction before opening apps, categories, or websites you choose. When you try to open a blocked target, iOS may show a Screen Time shield. HanaLock can then ask you to complete a short vocabulary or recognition challenge before granting temporary access.

HanaLock is designed to turn repeated phone impulses into small learning moments. It focuses on vocabulary, scripts where needed, recognition, and short phrases. It is not a complete language course and does not guarantee fluency.

Apple Screen Time

HanaLock uses Apple's public Screen Time technologies, including Family Controls, Managed Settings, Device Activity, and shield extensions.

Screen Time behavior depends on iOS, your device settings, Screen Time permission, selected targets, app lifecycle state, and Apple system behavior. HanaLock can configure and reconcile shields, but it does not control every detail of when iOS shows a shield, how quickly a target relocks, or which apps, categories, or websites Apple makes available in the system picker.

You are responsible for choosing the targets you block and for keeping Screen Time permission enabled if you want blocking to work.

No Guarantee Of Perfect Blocking

HanaLock is a focus and learning tool. It is not a security product, emergency control system, parental surveillance system, or guaranteed access-control system.

We do not guarantee that:

• every app, category, or website can be selected or blocked
• a shield will appear instantly in every device state
• relocking will happen at the exact second an allowance ends
• Screen Time data will always be complete or immediate
• HanaLock will prevent all unwanted phone use
• HanaLock will work the same way across every iOS version or device

Do not rely on HanaLock for emergencies, safety-critical situations, legal compliance, medical treatment, addiction treatment, or controlling another person's device.

Learning Content

HanaLock provides short language-learning prompts. The content is designed for small repeated moments, not full instruction. You should not treat HanaLock as a complete language course, professional translation service, certification program, or guarantee of learning results.

We may update, add, remove, or revise learning content over time.

Accounts And Progress Sync

The current version does not require an account.

If HanaLock adds optional Sign in with Apple or progress sync in a future version, you may choose whether to use it. Account sync, if offered, is intended to help restore vocabulary progress after reinstalling the app. It is not intended to create a social account, advertising profile, or public user profile.

Any account or sync feature must be covered by the current Privacy Policy before release.

Beta And TestFlight

If you use a TestFlight or beta version of HanaLock, you understand that the app may contain unfinished features, bugs, placeholder text, incomplete content, or behavior that changes before release.

When you submit TestFlight feedback, crash reports, screenshots, or comments, Apple may make that information available to the developer through App Store Connect according to Apple's TestFlight rules.

Support And Feedback

You may contact us with support requests, bug reports, or feedback. If you send feedback, you give us permission to use it to improve HanaLock without owing you compensation.

Do not send sensitive information unless it is necessary for support. HanaLock does not need passwords, private messages, financial information, or highly sensitive personal information to provide support.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• misuse HanaLock or attempt to bypass Apple platform rules
• reverse engineer, copy, or redistribute the app except as allowed by law
• use the app to monitor or control another person without proper authority and consent
• use support or feedback channels to send unlawful, abusive, or harmful content
• interfere with the app, its services, Apple's services, or other users
• use HanaLock in a way that violates applicable law

Intellectual Property

HanaLock, including its design, code, learning content, branding, icons, text, and other materials, is owned by [LEGAL NAME] or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may use HanaLock only as permitted by these Terms, Apple's App Store terms, and applicable law.

Third-Party Services

HanaLock relies on Apple platform services, including App Store, TestFlight, Screen Time, local notifications, and iOS system frameworks. Your use of those services is also governed by Apple's terms and policies.

If future versions add third-party services, subscriptions, analytics, cloud sync, or other integrations, the Terms and Privacy Policy must be updated as needed.

Purchases And Subscriptions

The current version does not include in-app purchases or subscriptions.

If purchases or subscriptions are added later, purchase terms, cancellation rules, refund handling, and any recurring billing details must be added before release of that version.

Disclaimer

HanaLock is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so some of these terms may not apply to you.

Limitation Of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, [LEGAL NAME] will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, lost progress, device issues, inability to access apps or websites, or failure of Screen Time restrictions to work as expected.

Where liability cannot be excluded, our liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Termination

You can stop using HanaLock at any time by deleting the app.

We may suspend or stop providing HanaLock, in whole or in part, if needed for legal, technical, security, App Store, or product reasons.

Apple App Store Terms

Your download and use of HanaLock through the App Store is also governed by Apple's terms, including the Apple Media Services Terms and the applicable Apple standard end user license agreement, unless a custom EULA is provided in App Store Connect.

Changes

We may update these Terms as the app changes. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, provide notice in the app or through the App Store release process.
