Terms of Use

Last Updated: 1 April 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the ZenPause app and website (https://zenpause.top) operated by ZenPause ("we", "our", or "us") and created by Sonaben Rathod, hereby referred to as Service Provider.

By accessing or using ZenPause, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

1. Description of Service

ZenPause is a self-directed screen time control app that enables users to voluntarily limit access to selected apps and categories on their own device using Apple's Screen Time technologies.

The app is intended for personal use to support focus, productivity, and healthier digital habits.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum legal age in your jurisdiction) to use ZenPause.

By using the service, you represent that:

  • You are the owner or authorized user of the device
  • You are using ZenPause for your own device and personal purposes

3. User Control and Responsibility

ZenPause is a self-imposed control tool:

  • You are solely responsible for selecting apps or categories to restrict
  • You may modify or remove restrictions at any time
  • You are responsible for managing your own device usage

ZenPause does not enforce restrictions without your consent and does not control your device independently.

4. How the Service Works

ZenPause plans to use Apple's system frameworks, including:

  • Family Controls
  • Managed Settings

Restrictions are enforced at the operating system level by Apple. ZenPause does not directly block apps but configures system-level restrictions based on your selections.

ZenPause requires your explicit authorization through Apple's Screen Time permission system.

5. Limitations of Service

While ZenPause is designed to support digital wellness:

  • We do not guarantee that restrictions cannot be bypassed
  • We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation
  • The effectiveness of the app depends on user behavior and system limitations

ZenPause is a supportive tool, not a guaranteed enforcement mechanism.

6. Prohibited Uses

You agree not to use ZenPause:

  • For monitoring or tracking other individuals without their consent
  • For parental control, employee surveillance, or any unauthorized supervision
  • In any way that violates applicable laws or Apple's platform policies
  • To attempt to reverse-engineer or misuse Apple's system frameworks

7. Privacy

Your use of ZenPause is also governed by our Privacy Policy: https://zenpause.top/privacy-policy

We are committed to minimizing data collection and protecting user privacy.

8. Intellectual Property

All content, trademarks, branding, and software associated with ZenPause are owned by us or licensed to us. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works without permission.

9. Third-Party Services

ZenPause depends on Apple's operating system and frameworks.

We are not responsible for:

  • Changes in Apple's APIs or policies
  • Device compatibility issues
  • System-level limitations imposed by Apple

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

ZenPause is provided "as is" and "as available".

We make no warranties regarding:

  • Reliability
  • Availability
  • Fitness for a particular purpose

Your use of the service is at your own risk.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

ZenPause shall not be liable for:

  • Any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages
  • Loss of productivity, data, or business
  • Any issues arising from reliance on app restrictions

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate access if:

  • These Terms are violated
  • Required by law or platform policies

You may stop using ZenPause at any time.

13. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms periodically. Continued use of ZenPause after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable in your jurisdiction, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
