1. Use of the Application

RouseWell provides tools for personal routines, including alarms, reminders, wake-up tasks, ringing themes, scheduled or one-time app blocking, breaks, and summaries of recorded activity. Available features depend on your device, operating system, permissions, application version, and purchase status.

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the application on compatible devices you own or control, subject to these Terms and the applicable App Store usage rules. You may use RouseWell only for lawful purposes.

2. Eligibility

RouseWell is intended for adults.

The application is designed for managing your own routines. It is not a service for supervising children or controlling another person's device without authorization.

3. Permissions and Device Settings

Certain features require system permissions, including alarm access, Screen Time authorization, camera access, or motion access. You decide whether to grant these permissions and can review them in your device settings. Denying or withdrawing a permission may prevent the corresponding feature from working.

Saving an alarm or blocking plan does not necessarily mean that the system has activated it. Review the status shown in the application and resolve permission or scheduling errors before relying on a feature.

Advertising tracking permission is separate from alarm, task, and blocking permissions. Refusing tracking permission does not itself remove access to purchased features.

4. Alarms and Reminders

You are responsible for selecting suitable times, repeat schedules, tasks, sounds, and device settings, and for checking that your alarms are enabled. Alarm behavior can be affected by device power, audio routing, permissions, operating system restrictions, software errors, and changes to time zones or device settings.

RouseWell cannot guarantee that an alarm will sound at a particular moment, wake you, remain audible, or prevent you from stopping it through system controls. Stopping a system alarm is not the same as completing an in-app task. Some task and schedule updates require you to reopen or interact with the application.

Use an independent backup for essential commitments. RouseWell is not an emergency alert system or a substitute for a dedicated safety device.

5. Wake-Up Tasks and Safety

Tasks may include calculations, typing, identifying an object with the camera, walking, shaking the device, or squat-related movements. Recognition and movement counts are estimates and can be inaccurate, delayed, or unavailable. Detecting phone movement does not establish your body position or confirm that you performed an exercise correctly.

Choose tasks appropriate to your abilities and surroundings before enabling an alarm. Use motion tasks only in a safe, clear space. Do not use them while driving, operating machinery, near traffic or stairs, or in a way that puts you or others at risk. Stop an activity if it causes pain, dizziness, or discomfort.

Camera tasks are intended to recognize task targets. They do not verify identity, diagnose a condition, or establish that a real-world action has occurred. Never compromise your safety to finish a task.

6. App Blocking and Breaks

With your authorization, RouseWell uses Apple's Screen Time technologies to restrict selected applications, categories, or websites, or the applications the system permits it to restrict under an all-apps setting. System-essential or exempt applications may remain available.

Blocking plans operate independently of alarms. A break or early ending applies to the relevant blocking session; another active plan may continue to restrict the same application or website. Taking a break does not extend the session's original end time.

Blocking and restoration depend on system scheduling and permissions. They are not guaranteed to take effect at an exact second or resist every method of bypass. Basic breaks and available early-ending or emergency-release controls for blocking sessions do not require an additional purchase.

When Screen Time authorization is available, alarm-related settings may also temporarily restrict app removal around an alarm's scheduled time. These protections remain subject to system behavior and do not make RouseWell impossible to disable or remove.

Review your selections before starting a block, particularly if you need access to essential services. Use restrictions only on devices you are authorized to manage.

7. Statistics and Wellness Information

Statistics summarize events that RouseWell can observe, such as recorded task completions, snoozes, blocking-session endings, and breaks. Missing records are not proof that an event did or did not happen.

RouseWell does not measure sleep duration or quality, diagnose or treat medical conditions, or verify medication adherence. Completing a reminder task does not establish that medication was taken. Routine suggestions, themes, and motivational messages are general information, not medical advice or professional care.

8. Your Content

You retain ownership of content you lawfully provide, such as custom task text and videos selected for personal ringing themes. You grant only the permission needed to process, store, adapt, and play that content to provide the features you select.

Importing a personal video does not grant us a right to publish it or use it in advertising. Local processing may create a converted video, audio, or cover image. Your selected media and custom text are handled as described in the Privacy Policy.

You must have the necessary rights to use your content, including permission from others where required. Do not import unlawful content or material that infringes intellectual property, privacy, or other rights. Keep independent copies of content that matters to you.

9. Intellectual Property

The application, software, interface, branding, and supplied themes, sounds, and other materials belong to their respective rights holders. Your right to use them within RouseWell does not include a right to resell, redistribute, or commercially exploit them separately.

You must not remove proprietary notices, make unauthorized copies, or reverse engineer the application except where applicable law expressly permits it. These Terms do not limit rights granted under applicable open-source licenses.

10. Subscriptions and Paid Features

Some features or content require Premium access. The purchase screen identifies the available benefits, price, currency, billing period, and any eligible introductory offer before you confirm a purchase. Actual availability and pricing are determined by the offer shown through Apple at the time of purchase.

RouseWell may offer weekly or annual auto-renewing subscriptions and a one-time, non-consumable Lifetime purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless you cancel before renewal in accordance with Apple's terms. Payment is charged through the Apple Account used for the purchase.

RouseWell does not currently offer a free trial. An introductory price, when offered to eligible purchasers, is a paid offer for the stated period. The subscription then renews at the regular price shown before purchase unless canceled. Eligibility is determined through Apple and is not guaranteed.

A Lifetime purchase does not automatically renew. It provides ongoing access to the included Premium features for the supported life of the RouseWell service; it does not promise perpetual operation, compatibility with every future device, or access to separately identified future products. This does not reduce rights attached to your purchase under applicable law.

Selecting a plan alone does not authorize a charge. A purchase requires your purchase action and Apple's confirmation process. A pending or unverified transaction may delay access while its status is resolved. Free alarms and basic reminders do not have a commercial quantity limit; system scheduling limits are separate from Premium access.

11. Cancellation, Restoration, and Refunds

Manage or cancel an auto-renewing subscription in your device's Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions. Review the renewal information there and cancel before the displayed renewal date if you do not want another billing period. Subject to Apple's rules, access ordinarily continues through the paid period after cancellation.

Deleting RouseWell, deleting a routine, withdrawing a permission, or removing local data does not cancel an Apple subscription. A Lifetime purchase has no recurring subscription to cancel.

Use Restore on the purchase screen with the Apple Account used to purchase eligible access. Restoration depends on Apple's verified purchase records and may require an internet connection. Restoring access does not restore locally stored alarms, blocking plans, task history, or personal media.

Refund requests for Apple purchases are handled through Apple's refund process and applicable law. Eligibility is determined by Apple and applicable consumer protections. A refunded or revoked purchase may no longer provide Premium access.

12. Privacy and Third-Party Services

The Privacy Policy explains the information processed by RouseWell, including local routine data, purchase records, technical identifiers, analytics, and advertising attribution.

The application uses Apple system services and may rely on service providers for hosting, purchase verification, analytics, and attribution. Their services may be subject to separate terms and privacy notices. We do not control the availability of independently operated third-party services, and nothing in this section removes responsibilities that applicable law places on us.

13. Acceptable Use

You must not:

• Use the application unlawfully or infringe another person's rights.
• Attempt unauthorized access to systems, purchase records, or data.
• Submit malicious code or disrupt the application or its services.
• Falsify transactions, misuse restoration, or fraudulently obtain paid access.
• Copy, resell, or commercially exploit the service without permission.
• Use blocking or other features to coerce, harass, or control another person.

These restrictions do not prohibit ordinary use of system permission settings, subscription cancellation, or available safety and exit controls.

14. Availability and Changes to the Application

Features may be interrupted by maintenance, network or provider outages, device limitations, and software changes. Updates may be needed for compatibility or security.

We may modify or discontinue features for legitimate operational, technical, security, or legal reasons. Where required, we will provide notice and any remedy due under applicable law. This section does not allow us to disregard rights associated with a paid purchase.

15. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the extent permitted by law, RouseWell is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation, error-free recognition, perfectly accurate statistics, or any particular improvement in waking, habits, productivity, or wellbeing.

No statement in these Terms excludes a warranty or guarantee that cannot lawfully be excluded.

16. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of, or inability to use, RouseWell, including losses associated with missed alarms, interrupted restrictions, unavailable services, or lost local data.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury where such liability cannot lawfully be limited, or any other liability that applicable law does not permit us to exclude or limit.

17. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using RouseWell at any time. Review active alarms, blocking plans, permissions, and subscriptions when doing so.

We may restrict access to connected services when reasonably necessary to address a material breach of these Terms, fraud, security threats, or legal requirements. Where practicable and legally required, we will give notice and an opportunity to resolve the issue. Termination does not automatically cancel an Apple subscription or erase records that must be retained lawfully.

Provisions that by their nature need to continue, including ownership, payment obligations already incurred, and lawful liability limitations, survive termination.

18. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms as the application or applicable requirements change. The revised document will show an updated date. Material changes will be brought to your attention where required, and any required agreement will be obtained before those changes apply.

Changes will not retrospectively remove mandatory rights or alter completed purchases contrary to applicable law. If you do not accept an applicable update, you may stop using the service and manage any subscription through Apple.

19. Consumer Rights and Severability

You retain all mandatory protections provided by the laws that apply to you, including applicable rights concerning digital services, refunds, privacy, and access to courts or regulators. These Terms do not impose mandatory arbitration or waive class-action rights.

If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted by law. Failure to enforce a provision on one occasion does not waive the right to enforce it later.

20. Apple Terms and Entire Agreement

Your use of the App Store and Apple purchase services remains subject to Apple's applicable terms. Where Apple's Standard End User License Agreement applies to the application license, these Terms supplement it for RouseWell's features and services and do not override mandatory Apple usage rules.

These Terms, together with the applicable purchase disclosures and any applicable application license, form the agreement governing your use of RouseWell. The Privacy Policy separately explains our data practices and does not replace any consent required by law.
