Welcome to Pay Attention (“the App,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By downloading, registering for, or using Pay Attention, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”). Please read them carefully before using the App.
If you do not agree to these Terms, do not install or use Pay Attention.
1. Description of Service
Pay Attention is a digital wellness application designed to help users manage screen time. Users set daily screen time allowances, select a designated partner charity, and authorize automated financial contributions (“Penalties” or “Donations”) whenever their screen time exceeds their configured allowance.
2. Eligibility & Account Registration
- Age Requirement: You must be at least 18 years old (or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction) to create an account and authorize financial transactions.
- Account Security: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.
- Accurate Information: You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete payment and account information.
3. Screen Time Tracking & Permissions
- Device Permissions: To track screen time, Pay Attention requires specific device permissions (e.g., iOS Screen Time API, Android Usage Access). Revoking or tampering with these permissions may cause the App to malfunction or default to maximum penalty charges.
- Tracking Disclaimers: Screen time tracking relies on operating system APIs. While we strive for precision, Pay Attention is not liable for minor tracking discrepancies caused by OS updates, background processes, or device glitches.
4. Payment Terms & Automated Charges
- Authorization: By setting a screen time allowance and linking a payment method, you explicitly authorize Pay Attention to charge your payment method automatically whenever you exceed your set allowance based on your selected rate (e.g., $.10 per 10 minutes over allowance).
- Payment Processing: Payments are processed securely by third-party processors (e.g., Stripe, Apple Pay, Google Pay). We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers.
- Processing Fees: 25% of the charged amount will be used to cover payment processing fees and platform operations. The remaining net portion will be disbursed to your designated charity.
- Non-Refundable: All charges triggered by exceeding your screen time limit are final and non-refundable, regardless of whether you intentionally or accidentally exceeded your screen time limit.
5. Charitable Contributions & Tax Status
- Distribution of Funds: Pay Attention collects authorized payments and remits the designated charity portion to verified 501(c)(3) organizations (or regional equivalent non-profits) on a scheduled basis.
- Tax Deductibility: Charitable donations are facilitated by Every.org. More information can be found at support.every.org.
6. Fair Play & User Conduct
You agree not to:
- Attempt to bypass, hack, or artificially manipulate the screen time tracking mechanism.
- Initiate fraudulent payment chargebacks for charges legitimately triggered by your screen time settings.
- Use the App for any unlawful purpose.
Violation of these rules may result in immediate account termination and permanent bans from the platform.
7. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability
- “As-Is” Basis: Pay Attention is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis without warranties of any kind, express or implied.
- Limitation of Liability: To the maximum extent permitted by law, Pay Attention, its parent company, officers, and employees shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages resulting from your use of or inability to use the service.
8. Account Termination
You may delete your account and uninstall the App at any time. Deleting your account will cancel any future pending charges, but you remain responsible for any charges already incurred prior to deletion. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at our discretion for violations of these Terms.
9. Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of [Insert Jurisdiction/State/Country], without regard to its conflict of law principles.
