QuietTime — Terms of Service

By downloading, installing, or using QuietTime, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the application.

1. Purpose

QuietTime is a scheduling tool designed to help parents manage screen time on a child's device. It is not a security product and does not guarantee that device access will be prevented in all circumstances.

2. Who can accept these terms

You must be 18 or over to accept these terms. If you are a parent or guardian installing QuietTime on a child's device, the contract is between us and you, not the child.

3. PIN and recovery password

You are solely responsible for remembering your PIN and recovery password. If both are lost, the only way to regain access is to clear the app's data or reinstall, which will remove all settings and schedules.

We strongly recommend writing down your recovery password and keeping it somewhere safe. There is no way for us to recover your PIN or password remotely, because no data is stored on any server.

4. Data storage

All data — including PINs, recovery passwords, schedules, activity logs and screen-time information — is stored or processed locally on your device. No data is transmitted to us or to any third party. For full details, see our Privacy Policy.

5. Activity log and screen-time insights

QuietTime records certain events locally on your device, including:

• Block period start and end times
• Override actions and time extensions granted
• Focus sessions started and ended
• Settings changes

The Android version can also show you screen-time insights — your total screen time and most-used apps for today or the last seven days. This information is read from Android's own usage statistics on your device, at the moment you open the insights screen, and is displayed only. It is not stored by us, not collected, and never leaves your device.

6. Price and optional donations

QuietTime is free to download and use. The app contains no advertising, no subscriptions, and no paid features. It is supported by voluntary donations through Buy Me a Coffee. Donations are entirely optional and the app functions identically whether or not you choose to donate. Donations are processed by Buy Me a Coffee under their own terms and are not refundable through us.

7. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law. Your statutory rights as a consumer are not affected.

Subject to that, QuietTime is provided as an aid for parents and does not guarantee that device access will be prevented in all circumstances — for example, if the operating system denies the app a required permission, the device is rebooted into safe mode, a child learns your PIN, or a third-party app interferes with the block screen. As the app is provided free of charge, our liability for any direct loss caused by such circumstances is limited to GBP 50, except where statutory consumer rights require otherwise.

8. Quality

We provide QuietTime with reasonable skill and care and we have tested it on a range of devices. Digital products can contain bugs, and behaviour may vary across device manufacturers, operating-system versions, and third-party software. Your statutory rights under the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 (or equivalent local law) are not affected.

9. Changes to these terms

We may make minor changes to these terms — for example, to clarify wording or correct errors — by updating this text and the “Last updated” date at the top. For material changes, such as to data handling or limitation of liability, we will ask you to actively accept the new terms the next time you open the app. If you do not accept, you may stop using the app.

10. Distribution channels

QuietTime is distributed via the Microsoft Store, the Google Play Store, and as a direct download from davidarthur.app. Where the app is downloaded via a store, that store's own terms apply to the download itself in addition to these terms. We do not take direct payments.

11. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute will be dealt with by the courts of England and Wales. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the United Kingdom, you have the right to bring proceedings in the courts of the part of the United Kingdom where you live.

12. Contact and trader details

QuietTime is published by David Arthur Software, a sole trader based in York, United Kingdom. For support, questions about these terms or any privacy concerns, please contact info@davidarthur.app.

Full trader details are available on written request by email.

Language

These terms are provided in your selected language within the app. The English version is provided for reference. For EU and UK consumers, the version in your language is binding in case of any conflict.
