QuietTime — Terms of Service

Last updated: 10 April 2026

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 and to install QuietTime. 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, and activity logs — is stored 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

QuietTime records certain events locally on your device, including:

  • Block period start and end times
  • Override actions
  • Time extensions granted
  • Settings changes

This data is stored only on your device and is never transmitted externally. It is intended to help parents review how the app has been used.

6. 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 guardians, and should not be relied on as the sole method of controlling device access. We do 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.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our liability for any loss caused by such circumstances is limited to the amount you paid for the app in the 12 months before the claim.

7. 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. If the app is not of satisfactory quality or does not match our description, you are entitled to a repair, replacement, price reduction or refund in line with the Act.

8. Refunds

QuietTime is sold exclusively through the Google Play Store and the Microsoft Store. Refund requests are handled by those platforms under their published refund policies:

You have the same statutory rights under UK consumer law regardless of which store you buy from.

9. Changes to these terms

We may make minor changes to these terms — for example, to clarify wording or correct errors — by updating this page and the “Last updated” date at the top.

For material changes, such as to pricing, 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 and request a refund from the store where you bought it, subject to that store's refund policy.

10. 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.

11. Contact and trader details

QuietTime is published by David Arthur Software, a sole trader based in York, United Kingdom.
