Terms of Service

Last updated: March 26, 2026

Agreement to Terms

By downloading, installing, or using Applowance ("the App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App. These Terms constitute a legal agreement between you and Ramses Works ("we", "us", or "our"), the publisher of Applowance.

Use of the Service

Applowance is a family screen time management app designed for parents and their children. The App allows parents to:

  • Create a family group and invite children to join
  • Assign chores with screen time rewards
  • Approve or deny chore completions
  • Manage app restrictions on children's devices using Apple's Screen Time frameworks

Parents are responsible for supervising their children's use of the App and for all activity that occurs under their family group. The App is intended for use by families where the parent or legal guardian has direct authority over the children in the group.

Account and Family Management

To use Applowance as a parent, you must sign in using Sign in with Apple. By doing so, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate information when setting up your family
  • Maintain the security of your Apple ID and any PINs you set within the App
  • Accept responsibility for all actions taken under your family group
  • Only add children for whom you are the parent or legal guardian

Children join a family using a 6-character invite code provided by the parent. Children do not need an Apple ID or email address to use the App.

Screen Time and App Restrictions

Applowance uses Apple's FamilyControls, ManagedSettings, and DeviceActivity frameworks to enforce app restrictions on children's devices. These are system-level frameworks provided by Apple. By using these features, you acknowledge that:

  • App restrictions are enforced at the operating system level and may affect the child's ability to use certain apps
  • The effectiveness of restrictions depends on the child's device settings and iOS version
  • We are not responsible for any issues arising from Apple's Screen Time frameworks
  • Screen time sessions and balances are tracked locally and synced via our cloud service

User Conduct

You agree not to:

  • Use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to other users' accounts or family groups
  • Interfere with or disrupt the App's functionality or its underlying infrastructure
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the App
  • Use the App to monitor or restrict devices of individuals who are not your children or legal dependents

Privacy

Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect your information, including specific protections for children's data under COPPA. By using the App, you consent to the data practices described in the Privacy Policy.

Intellectual Property

The App, including its design, code, graphics, and content, is owned by Ramses Works and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the App for its intended purpose. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works based on the App.

Disclaimers

The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that:

  • The App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure
  • App restrictions will be completely effective in all circumstances
  • Data synchronization will always be immediate or accurate
  • The App will be compatible with all devices or iOS versions

Screen time management features depend on Apple's frameworks and device capabilities, which are outside our control.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Ramses Works shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, arising from your use of the App. Our total liability for any claims arising from or related to these Terms or the App shall not exceed the amount you paid for the App in the twelve months preceding the claim.

Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the updated Terms on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you should stop using the App.
