2. Description of service
NowPresent is a digital wellness application for iOS that uses on-device behavioral analysis and AI to detect unhealthy phone usage patterns and suggest positive micro-interventions. The App operates entirely on your device with no server-side processing of personal data.
NowPresent is a wellness tool, not a medical device. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical or psychiatric condition.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 17 years old to use NowPresent, in accordance with App Store age ratings. By using the App, you represent that you meet this age requirement. The App is intended for personal, non-commercial use only.
4. License
Subject to these Terms, NowPresent grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on iOS devices you own or control, solely for your personal wellness purposes.
You may not:

- ◈Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App
- ◈Remove or alter any proprietary notices or labels
- ◈Use the App for any commercial purpose

5. Screen Time & system permissions
NowPresent may request access to iOS Screen Time (via Apple's DeviceActivityFramework), notifications, and HealthKit data. These permissions are entirely optional and can be revoked at any time through iOS Settings. Granting or revoking permissions will affect certain features but will not prevent basic app functionality.
Use of Apple's Screen Time API requires compliance with Apple's Family Controls entitlement requirements. NowPresent uses this API only for the purpose of detecting usage patterns and delivering wellness interventions, as described in our Privacy Policy.
6. Wellness disclaimer

Important:
- ◈If you are experiencing severe anxiety, depression, or addiction, please consult a qualified healthcare professional
- ◈NowPresent does not diagnose any condition
- ◈Intervention suggestions are informational only and not medical recommendations
- ◈Results vary between individuals — there is no guarantee of specific outcomes
7. Intellectual property
The App, including its design, code, AI models, intervention content, and all associated intellectual property, is owned by NowPresent and protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights to use NowPresent trademarks, logos, or branding.
8. User content
Journal entries, mood logs, and other content you create within the App ("User Content") are stored exclusively on your device. Because we have no access to User Content, we cannot recover it if lost. You are solely responsible for maintaining backups of any User Content you wish to preserve.
9. Availability & updates
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the App at any time without notice. We may release updates that change functionality, require newer iOS versions, or alter these Terms. Continued use of the App after updates constitutes acceptance of any changes.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from these Terms or your use of the App shall not exceed the amount you paid for the App in the twelve months preceding the claim, or $10 USD, whichever is greater.
12. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which NowPresent is registered, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration rather than in court, except where prohibited by law.
