Terms and Conditions for Focus Up

Welcome to Focus Up. These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the Focus Up mobile application and website (the “Service”) operated by Joemer Ramos (“we,” “us,” or “our”).

By downloading, accessing, or using Focus Up, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the terms, then you may not access the Service.

1. Description of Service

Focus Up is a productivity application designed to help users minimize distractions. Core features include blocking specific applications (such as social media, video games, and messaging apps), setting daily time limits and weekly schedules, and using accountability partners to manage app unlock requests.

2. Device Permissions

To function properly, Focus Up requires access to certain device settings and permissions, which may include screen time tracking, accessibility services, and device administration rights, depending on your operating system. By using the app, you consent to granting these permissions. You can revoke these permissions at any time through your device settings, though doing so will limit or disable the app’s core functionality.

3. Accountability Partners

Focus Up allows you to designate trusted individuals as “accountability partners.”

• User responsibility. You are solely responsible for choosing who you add as an accountability partner.
• Delegated authority. By assigning an accountability partner, you grant them the authority to approve or deny requests to unlock your blocked apps before your set timer expires.
• No liability for partner actions. We are not responsible for any disputes, damages, or inconveniences caused by the actions or inactions of your accountability partners (for example, if a partner refuses to unlock your phone, or unlocks it against your original productivity goals).

4. Limitation of Liability

Focus Up is designed as a personal productivity tool. Because the app intentionally restricts access to other applications on your device:

• Emergencies and important communications. You acknowledge that blocking messaging or communication apps may prevent you from receiving important or urgent notifications. You use this blocking feature at your own risk.
• No warranties. The Service is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure.
• Limitation of damages. In no event shall Joemer Ramos be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including without limitation, loss of data, loss of access to communications, or other intangible losses, resulting from your use of, or inability to use, the Service.

5. Focus Up Pro Subscriptions

Focus Up offers optional auto-renewable Focus Up Pro subscriptions through Apple’s App Store. Pro currently includes instant blocking and 2x coins during focus sessions. The available subscription options are Weekly at $1.49 per week, Monthly at $5.00 per month, and Annual at $39.99 per year. Apple may display different localized prices or taxes at checkout; the price shown in the App Store purchase sheet is the price you will be charged.

Payment is charged to your Apple ID account when you confirm the purchase. Your subscription automatically renews at the same price and for the same term unless you turn off automatic renewal at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period. Your account may be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the current period ends. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple ID account settings after purchase. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.

If a free trial or other introductory offer is available, its duration and eligibility are shown before purchase. Unless canceled at least 24 hours before the trial or offer ends, it may automatically renew as the selected paid subscription.

All purchases and refunds are processed by Apple and are subject to Apple’s terms and policies. Focus Up cannot issue App Store refunds. See Apple’s support instructions for requesting a refund.

The Focus Up app license is also governed by Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement (Standard EULA). To the extent these Terms conflict with Apple’s Standard EULA for the licensed app, the Standard EULA controls the app license terms.

6. User Conduct and Abuse

You agree not to use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in any way that interrupts, damages, or impairs the service. Attempting to exploit, bypass, or reverse-engineer the app’s blocking mechanisms outside of the intended features (such as accountability partner requests) is prohibited.

7. Privacy and Data

Your use of Focus Up is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.

8. Modifications to the Service and Terms

We reserve the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice. We may also revise these Terms from time to time. The most current version will always be posted within the app or on our website. By continuing to use the Service after changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms.

9. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
