Terms of Service for Forslow

Last Updated: August 31, 2026

Welcome to Forslow (the “App”), a personal digital well-being and mindful app-blocking application.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the App, provided by Ammar / Forslow Digital Wellbeing (“we,” “our,” or “us”). By installing, accessing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use the App.

Note: This document is a practical, Play-Store-ready template based on standard mobile-app terms. It is not a substitute for advice from a qualified attorney. We recommend a final legal review before publishing.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, if higher) to use the App. By using the App, you represent that you meet this requirement.

2. Description of Service

Forslow is a personal digital well-being utility for Android devices. It helps you build intentional device habits by letting you self-configure a list of blocked applications. When you attempt to open a blocked application, the App interrupts the action and displays a temporary mindfulness reflection gate and/or usage timer.

The App operates on a local-first architecture. It does not require user accounts, registration, or remote data synchronization. Your settings, blocklists, and configurations are stored locally on your device.

3. Personal Use License

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install, and use the App on your Android device for personal, non-commercial use, strictly in accordance with these Terms.

You agree not to:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App or attempt to extract its source code.
• Use the App to interfere with the normal operation of other devices or apps in a malicious manner.
• Distribute, rent, lease, or sublicense the App to third parties.

4. Device Permissions & System Interception

To deliver its features, Forslow requires specific Android system permissions (Usage Access, Overlay Display, Foreground Service, Boot Receiver, Battery-optimization exemption, Notifications). By using the App, you acknowledge and agree that:

• You must manually grant these permissions in Android Settings for the App to function.
• The App runs a persistent background service (visible via a notification) to monitor active app launches in real time.
• The App intercepts screen focus by displaying overlays that you explicitly configure and control.
• You are solely responsible for managing which applications you add to your blocklist.

5. No Medical or Health Advice

Forslow is a well-being and productivity tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical or psychological condition, including but not limited to addiction, anxiety, or attention disorders. It is not a substitute for professional medical, psychological, or psychiatric advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you believe you have a condition that requires professional help, consult a qualified professional.

6. User Conduct, Responsibility & Legal Compliance

You warrant and agree that:

• Compliance with Laws: You will use the App in strict compliance with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws and regulations.
• No Unlawful or Harmful Use: You will not use the App for any unlawful, unauthorized, harmful, or wrongful purpose.
• Third-Party Terms: You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the App to block or overlay third-party applications does not violate those applications’ terms of service or policies.
• Sole Control & Responsibility: Because the App operates entirely locally, you are in sole control of, and solely responsible for, the settings, blocked-app lists, quotes, and any consequences arising from how you configure or use the App. We have no access to, visibility over, or control of your configuration or use.

7. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Developer, Forslow Digital Wellbeing, and any contributors or affiliates from any claims, lawsuits, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from:

• Your use or misuse of the App.
• Your violation of these Terms.
• Your violation of any third-party right (including copyright, trademark, privacy, or contract rights).
• Any wrongful, negligent, or illegal act in connection with your use of the App.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties (“AS IS”)

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the App will:

• Intercept 100% of target applications on all device models, OS versions, or under all power constraints.
• Operate uninterrupted, securely, or be compatible with all third-party apps.

YOUR USE OF THE APP IS AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEVELOPER AND FORSLOW DIGITAL WELLBEING SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE APP, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE WERE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. The following are examples and are not exhaustive:

• Your Own Actions: Any consequence of how you choose to configure or use the App, including the apps you block or fail to block.
• Missed Actions or Notifications: Delays or inability to access blocked apps, or missed notifications from the reflection gate/countdown.
• Emergency Situations: The App is a self-discipline utility. Do not block critical apps (dialers, emergency alerts, essential communication) you may need urgently. We are not responsible for consequences of blocking such apps.
• Device Performance & Battery: Any impact on battery, CPU, or thermal state from the background monitoring service.
• Data or Productivity Loss: Any loss of data, productivity, or business interruption.

Force Majeure: We are not liable for any failure, delay, or defect caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including internet or mobile-network outages, device-manufacturer changes, Android OS updates, or the unavailability or alteration of third-party services such as Google Firebase.

IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO ACCESS OR USE THE APP (WHICH IS $0). Some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

10. Intellectual Property

All rights, title, and intellectual property in the App (code, design, graphics, branding, and quote databases) are owned by us. These Terms do not grant you any intellectual property rights except the limited license in Section 3.

11. Term and Termination

You may terminate these Terms at any time by uninstalling the App. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without cause and without notice. Sections that by nature survive termination shall survive.

12. General Provisions

• Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App.
• Severability: If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
• No Waiver: Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.
• Assignment: We may assign these Terms to a successor without notice. You may not assign them without our written consent.
• Informal Resolution: Before starting any legal proceeding, you agree to contact us at support@mdammar.dev and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Bangalore, Karnataka, India. If you are a consumer resident in the EEA, UK, or another jurisdiction whose mandatory consumer-protection laws provide for a different forum or applicable law, those mandatory provisions shall apply notwithstanding the foregoing.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time and will update the “Last Updated” date above. Your continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
