Terms of Service

Effective 24 April 2026

These Terms of Service govern your use of HolyLock (the "App"), provided by Bianca Iordache (the "Developer", "we", "our"). By installing or using HolyLock, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the App.

Your license to use HolyLock

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use HolyLock on any iOS device you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use. This license is subject to these terms and to Apple's App Store Terms of Service, which also apply.

Subscriptions and billing

HolyLock offers optional paid subscriptions ("HolyLock Pro") that unlock additional features. Pricing is shown on the paywall inside the App before purchase. All subscriptions are:

• Purchased through and managed by Apple's App Store
• Automatically renewed at the end of each billing period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before renewal
• Cancellable at any time via iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions → HolyLock
• Non-refundable except as required by Apple's refund policy or applicable consumer protection law

We are not responsible for App Store billing disputes — contact Apple directly for refund or billing issues.

What HolyLock does

HolyLock uses iOS's Screen Time and FamilyControls frameworks to help you voluntarily block apps you choose during reading windows you choose. You are the sole user and administrator — HolyLock is not a parental-control product, and it is not intended to supervise or control anyone other than the device's primary user.

Scripture content

HolyLock includes four Bible translations:

• Berean Standard Bible — public domain
• King James Version — public domain
• World English Bible — public domain
• American Standard Version — public domain

These texts are not our property and we make no claim over them. All other content in the App — design, copy, visuals, code, reading plans, mood-based passage curation — is the property of the Developer.

What you agree not to do

• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the App, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law
• Use the App to harm, surveil, or control another person without their clear informed consent
• Redistribute, sublicense, or resell the App or any of its content
• Use the App in a way that violates any applicable law

Disclaimer of warranties

The App is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. The App is a tool to support a reading practice; it is not a substitute for pastoral care, mental health support, or medical advice.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Developer will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the App. Our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to these terms or the App will not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability. In those jurisdictions, the above limitations apply only to the extent permitted by law.

Termination

You may stop using the App and delete it at any time. We may terminate or suspend your access to the App if you violate these terms, or for any other reason at our discretion, subject to applicable law.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The "Effective" date at the top of this page shows when they were last updated. Material changes will be communicated inside the App where practical. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Romania, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms or the App will be resolved in the courts of Romania, unless mandatory consumer-protection law in your jurisdiction provides otherwise.

Apple-specific terms

You acknowledge that these terms are between you and the Developer, not Apple. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these terms and may enforce them against you. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist-supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
