Hello, and thank you for collecting Doomies with us. Doomies is a screen time app that rewards you for scrolling less, and we’ve tried to keep this document friendly too: plain English wherever the law allows, and short wherever it can be. It’s still a real contract, so please read it properly.
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a legally binding agreement between you and Wildcard Wellness, LLC (“Wildcard Wellness”, “we”, “us” or “our”). They cover the Doomies iOS app, its widgets and extensions, any updates to it, the content inside it, and the website at doomies.app (together, “Doomies” or the “Services”).
A few things worth knowing up front. Doomies relies on Apple’s Screen Time, and we can’t promise every limit or block will always work (section 5). Doomies, boxes and everything else you collect are for fun only, have no money value, and can’t be bought or sold (section 6). Your subscription renews automatically through Apple until you cancel (section 4). Your shelf lives on your device and in your iCloud, and we can’t recover it if it’s lost (section 7). Our liability to you is limited (section 16), and disputes are resolved by individual arbitration, with no class actions or jury trials, unless you opt out (section 19). These provisions affect your legal rights.
1. Agreeing to these Terms
By downloading, installing or using Doomies, or by starting a subscription, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t use Doomies. If you are using Doomies on behalf of someone else, you confirm you have the authority to accept these Terms for them.
You agree that these Terms, and any notices, disclosures or other communications we send you in the app, on our website or by email, may be provided electronically, and that accepting these Terms electronically has the same effect as signing them on paper.
2. Who can use Doomies
You must be at least 13 years old to use Doomies, or 16 if you live in the European Union.
If you’re under 18 (or under the age of majority where you live), you need your parent or guardian’s permission to use Doomies, and they must read and agree to these Terms on your behalf. They’re also responsible for any purchases you make.
We don’t knowingly allow anyone under the minimum age to use Doomies, and if we learn that someone has, we’ll delete any information we hold about them. If you believe a child under the minimum age is using Doomies, please write to us at support@doomies.app and we’ll help.
You may not use Doomies if we have previously terminated your access for breaching these Terms.
You also confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a United States government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any United States government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
3. Your license to use Doomies
Doomies is licensed to you, not sold. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use Doomies on Apple devices that you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial use, in line with the usage rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
You may not copy, modify, adapt, translate, reverse-engineer, decompile or disassemble Doomies; rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense or redistribute it; extract its characters, art, animations, sounds or other content for use elsewhere; or use it to build a competing product. We keep every right we don’t expressly give you here.
Beta and pre-release versions. We sometimes share early versions of Doomies through TestFlight or another pre-release channel. Those versions are experimental, may be unstable, may lose or corrupt data, and may be withdrawn or changed at any time. Apple’s TestFlight terms apply to them in addition to these Terms, and anything you tell us about them is Feedback (section 9).
Apple’s role. Doomies is distributed through the Apple App Store. Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies to your use of the app as a minimum, and these Terms apply in addition to it. Where the two conflict, these Terms apply to the extent the law allows. You and we acknowledge that:
- These Terms are between you and Wildcard Wellness only, not Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for Doomies and its content.
- We, not Apple, are solely responsible for any maintenance and support of Doomies. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support services for it.
- If Doomies fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price you paid for it, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for Doomies, and any other claim, loss, liability, damage, cost or expense attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty is our responsibility.
- We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to Doomies or your possession or use of it, including product liability claims, any claim that Doomies fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy or similar laws.
- If a third party claims that Doomies infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are responsible for investigating, defending, settling and discharging that claim.
- You must comply with any third-party terms that apply when you use Doomies, such as your mobile carrier’s terms.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. When you accept them, Apple has the right, and is deemed to have accepted the right, to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.
4. Subscriptions and billing
Doomies is a paid app. There is one subscription, called Doomies, and it includes everything: limits and blocking, focus sessions, Friends, and a box for every day you stay under your limit.
Free trial. We may offer a free trial with some plans. If a trial is offered, you choose a plan and confirm the purchase, but your Apple Account isn’t charged until the trial ends. If you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, you aren’t charged at all and you keep Doomies until the free period runs out. If you don’t cancel, the plan you chose begins automatically at the end of the trial and your Apple Account is charged for the first period at that point. Apple allows one free trial or introductory offer per Apple Account for our subscription. Doomies shows you whether a trial applies before you confirm.
Plans and prices. We currently offer monthly and yearly plans. The length of each plan and its price are shown in the app before you subscribe, and in the App Store. Prices are set in your local currency and may include tax. We don’t repeat prices here because they can change; the price you see in the App Store at the time you subscribe is the one that applies.
Auto-renewal. After any free trial, your subscription renews automatically at the end of each period (monthly or yearly, depending on your plan) at the then-current price, and your Apple Account is charged within 24 hours before the current period ends, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. It will keep renewing until you cancel.
How to cancel. You can cancel any time. On your iPhone, open Settings › your name › Subscriptions, choose Doomies, and tap Cancel. Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription. Canceling stops the next renewal; you keep full access until the end of the period you’ve already paid for (or, during a free trial, until the trial ends), and nothing is refunded for the remainder of that period.
When a subscription ends. Your shelf and collection stay where you left them and you can still look at them, but daily limits, blocking and focus sessions stop, and no new boxes are earned until you subscribe again.
Billing and refunds are handled by Apple. All purchases are made through Apple’s in-app purchase system and charged to your Apple Account. We never see or store your payment details. Because Apple is the merchant, refund requests are decided by Apple under its own policies. To ask for one, visit reportaproblem.apple.com. We can’t issue refunds ourselves, but if something has gone wrong we’d still like to know, so please get in touch.
Price changes. We may change subscription prices from time to time. If a change affects an existing subscription, Apple will tell you in advance and, where the law or Apple’s rules require it, ask for your consent before the new price applies. If you don’t agree, you can cancel before the change takes effect.
Restoring purchases. Your subscription is tied to your Apple Account. If you get a new device or reinstall Doomies, use Restore inside the app to pick it up again.
Offers and promo codes. We may occasionally offer introductory prices, promotional offers or offer codes. Each is subject to the conditions shown with it, is available at our discretion, may be limited to one per Apple Account, and may be withdrawn at any time. Offers can’t be exchanged for cash or combined unless we say otherwise.
If we end your access. If we suspend or terminate your access because you’ve breached these Terms (section 14), you aren’t entitled to a refund for any unused part of your subscription, except where the law or Apple’s policies say otherwise.
5. Screen Time, limits and blocking
Doomies works through Apple’s Screen Time. To use it, you need to give Doomies Screen Time permission on your iPhone, and Screen Time needs to be working on your device.
Limits, blocks, focus sessions, schedules and the box you earn each night all depend on information and features that iOS provides. Sometimes they don’t arrive or don’t work as expected: for example, if Screen Time permission is turned off, iOS is updated, your device is restarted or out of storage, a block is bypassed through Settings, or Apple changes how Screen Time works. When that happens, a limit may not be noticed, a block may not appear or may lift early, or a day may count differently than you expected. We’ll do our best to keep things fair, but we can’t promise that every limit and block will work every time.
Please don’t rely on Doomies to block access to anything where that really matters, such as for safety, work or school compliance, or parental controls. Doomies is a motivational tool to help you scroll less, not a guarantee.
6. Doomies, boxes and your collection
Doomies is a game about scrolling less. Each day you stay under your limit, you can earn a box with a randomly chosen Doomie inside. Your streak changes which Doomies are more likely, as the app explains. Duplicates can happen, and the app may offer ways to use them, such as trading spares in or giving them to friends.
Boxes can’t be bought. Your subscription gives you access to the app; it doesn’t buy boxes, Doomies or any particular result. Boxes are earned by staying under your limit, and nothing in Doomies can be purchased one at a time.
They’re for fun, not money. Doomies, Shinies, secrets, spares, boxes, streaks, medals and anything else you collect (“Collectibles”) are part of the app’s content. You get a license to enjoy them inside Doomies; you don’t own them. They have no monetary value, can’t be exchanged for money or anything else of value, and can’t be sold, transferred or traded outside the app’s own features. We may change how Collectibles work, including the cast, how often things turn up, and future series, as Doomies grows.
Fair play. Collectibles are meant to be earned. Please don’t try to get them by tampering with the app, your device’s clock or Screen Time, or by any other trick. If we find that Collectibles were obtained this way, we may remove them.
7. Your shelf, your device and your content
Doomies has no login. Your shelf (your Collectibles, streak, settings and history) is stored on your device and, if you’re signed in to iCloud, backed up to your own private iCloud so it can survive a new phone. Apple, not us, provides iCloud, and it is governed by Apple’s terms. We don’t run servers that hold your shelf, and we can’t see, recover or restore it. If your device is lost, reset or replaced without a backup, your shelf may be lost too, and we won’t be able to bring it back.
Your device is your account. Anyone who can unlock your device or sign in to your Apple Account can open your shelf. You’re responsible for keeping your device, its passcode and your Apple Account secure, and for everything done in Doomies on your device. We can’t lock, reset or recover access for you.
Things you send us. If you send us material directly, for example a screenshot attached to a support email, you give us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use it to help you, to diagnose and fix problems, and to improve Doomies. If you publicly post something about Doomies, such as a share card or a review, and we’d like to reshare it, we’ll ask you first. You confirm that anything you send us is yours to share and doesn’t infringe anyone else’s rights.
8. Friends
Friends lets you join a small group, see each other’s streaks and shelves, and send gifts, trades and short notes. When you use Friends:
- The name you choose and the notes you write are visible to everyone in the group, and the name also appears in notifications your friends receive. Please choose a name that isn’t offensive and doesn’t pretend to be someone else. If you’re under 18, we suggest a nickname rather than your full name.
- Anyone with your group’s invite code can join, so only share it with people you know.
- Be kind. Don’t use names, group names or notes to harass, threaten, bully or abuse anyone, to share anything hateful, sexual or illegal, or to spam.
- Gifts and trades are final once accepted.
We don’t monitor what people write, but we may remove names, notes, groups or members that break these Terms, and we may limit or end your access to Friends. If someone in your group is making you uncomfortable, leave the group and tell us at support@doomies.app.
9. Our content and intellectual property
Doomies and everything in it that we made or licensed, including the Doomies characters, their names and designs, the art, animations and sounds, the writing, the design, the code, and the “Doomies” name, logo and marks, are owned by Wildcard Wellness or our licensors and protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. Your subscription gives you the right to enjoy this content inside Doomies. It doesn’t transfer any ownership to you.
You may take screenshots of your own shelf and share the share cards Doomies makes, and we hope you do. You may not copy, reproduce, sell or redistribute our content outside Doomies (for example on merchandise), remove any notices, or use our name or marks in a way that suggests we endorse something we don’t.
Feedback. If you send us ideas, suggestions or bug reports (“Feedback”), you give us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use them in any way, without any obligation or payment to you. We love hearing them.
If you think we’ve infringed your rights. We respect other people’s intellectual property. If you believe anything in Doomies or on our website infringes a copyright, trademark or other right you hold, please email support@doomies.app with the subject line “Intellectual property”, identifying the work, where it appears, and how to reach you. We’ll look into it promptly.
10. Acceptable use
When you use Doomies, you agree not to:
- Break any law or regulation, or use Doomies for anything unlawful.
- Interfere with or disrupt Doomies, its integrity, or the services it relies on, or attempt to gain access to any part of it you aren’t meant to reach, including other people’s groups.
- Circumvent, disable or tamper with subscription checks, in-app purchase, the way Collectibles are earned, or any other technical protection.
- Scrape, harvest or bulk-extract content from Doomies by any automated means, or use Doomies or its content to train or develop any machine-learning model or competing product.
- Infringe anyone else’s intellectual property or other rights.
- Misuse Friends as described in section 8.
11. Not medical advice
Doomies is a fun way to cut back on scrolling. It isn’t a medical device or a treatment for any condition, and nothing in it is medical, psychological or other professional advice. The insights, time-back figures and other numbers Doomies shows you are estimates for motivation, worked out from your own settings and answers. They may be incomplete or wrong.
If you’re worried about your phone use, your mood or your health, please talk to a qualified professional. If you’re in crisis, contact your local emergency services or a crisis line straight away. Doomies can’t respond to emergencies.
12. Third-party services
Doomies relies on services provided by others, including Apple (the App Store, in-app purchase, Screen Time, iCloud, push notifications and other iOS features). Those services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies, we don’t control them, and we aren’t responsible for them. Doomies may also link to other websites or resources; we aren’t responsible for their content or practices.
13. What Doomies needs, notifications, and support
What you need. Doomies runs on iPhones that meet the minimum iOS version shown on its App Store page, with Screen Time available and turned on. You’re responsible for your device, for keeping it and Doomies reasonably up to date, and for any internet connection needed to download the app, subscribe, restore purchases, use Friends or back up to iCloud. Your carrier’s data charges are yours. We may raise the minimum requirements as iOS moves on, and older devices may stop being supported.
Notifications. If you allow notifications, Doomies sends heads-ups, reminders and messages from friends. Whether and when they appear depends on iOS, your settings and your device, so we can’t promise they’ll arrive at all or on time. You can turn them off in Doomies or in iOS Settings whenever you like.
Support. We’re a small team and we do our best to answer at support@doomies.app and through our support page, but we can’t promise a response time or a particular outcome. Support is offered in English.
14. Changes to Doomies, and ending your use
We’re a small team and Doomies will keep growing. We may add, change or remove features, Doomies, series or other content, and we may update the app from time to time. Some updates may be required for Doomies to keep working. We may also suspend or discontinue Doomies, in whole or in part, if we need to; if that happens while you have a paid subscription, we’ll do our best to give you reasonable notice.
You can stop using Doomies at any time by canceling your subscription (section 4) and deleting the app. We may suspend or terminate your access to Doomies, or to Friends, if you materially breach these Terms, or if the law requires us to. On termination your license ends, but the sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive (including sections 6, 7, 9, 11 and 15 through 21) continue to apply.
15. Disclaimer of warranties
We build Doomies with great care, but we can’t promise it will be perfect. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DOOMIES IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DON’T WARRANT THAT DOOMIES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR SECURE, THAT LIMITS OR BLOCKS WILL ALWAYS WORK, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, THAT YOUR DATA OR COLLECTIBLES WILL NOT BE LOST, OR THAT USING DOOMIES WILL PRODUCE ANY PARTICULAR RESULT, INCLUDING ANY REDUCTION IN YOUR SCREEN TIME.
Some jurisdictions don’t allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms affects statutory rights that can’t be excluded.
16. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WILDCARD WELLNESS AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA (INCLUDING YOUR SHELF AND COLLECTIBLES), LOSS OF PROFITS, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO DOOMIES OR THESE TERMS, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO DOOMIES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR YOUR DOOMIES SUBSCRIPTION IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM AND (B) FIFTY UNITED STATES DOLLARS (US$50).
These limits don’t apply to liability that can’t be limited by law, including for death or personal injury caused by our negligence where the law doesn’t allow that to be limited, or for fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
17. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Wildcard Wellness and its members, managers, employees, contractors, agents and licensors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or relating to your breach of these Terms, your violation of any law or third-party right, or your misuse of Doomies, including anything you write in Friends.
18. Governing law
These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or to Doomies, are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, and by the United States Federal Arbitration Act, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If you live somewhere whose consumer-protection laws give you rights that can’t be taken away by this choice of law, you keep those rights.
Courts. If a dispute isn’t subject to arbitration under section 19, for example because you opted out or because the arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, it will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you and we consent to their personal jurisdiction, unless the law where you live requires otherwise. Either of us may still use small-claims court as described in section 19.
Using Doomies from outside the United States. We make Doomies available from the United States. If you use it from somewhere else, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for complying with local law. If you’re a consumer in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or another place whose law gives you mandatory rights, such as a right of withdrawal or a statutory guarantee, nothing in these Terms takes those rights away, and Apple handles withdrawal and refund requests for purchases made through the App Store.
19. Dispute resolution
Talk to us first. Most problems can be sorted out with an email. Before starting any formal proceeding, you agree to write to us at support@doomies.app describing the problem and what you’d like us to do, and to give us sixty (60) days to try to resolve it informally.
Arbitration. If we can’t resolve it informally, you and Wildcard Wellness agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or Doomies will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (available at adr.org). A single arbitrator will decide the dispute and may award the same individual relief a court could. Hearings will be held by documents, telephone or video unless the arbitrator decides an in-person hearing is needed, in which case it will take place in the county where you live. You’ll never be required to travel to another state to arbitrate.
Class action waiver. YOU AND WILDCARD WELLNESS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS OR AWARD RELIEF THAT AFFECTS ANYONE OTHER THAN THE PARTIES. If this waiver is found unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim will be heard in court under section 18 and the rest will proceed in arbitration.
Jury trial waiver. IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, YOU AND WILDCARD WELLNESS EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, TO THE EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS.
Fees. Arbitration fees are set by the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules, which cap the filing fee a consumer pays. If the arbitrator finds that your claim wasn’t frivolous, we’ll reimburse any filing fee you paid. Each of us pays our own legal fees unless the arbitrator awards them under the rules or the law.
Small claims. Either of us may instead bring an individual claim in a small-claims court with jurisdiction, as long as it stays there and stays individual.
Protecting intellectual property. Either of us may ask a court under section 18 for an injunction or other urgent relief to stop actual or threatened infringement or misuse of intellectual property, or unauthorized access to Doomies, without first going through arbitration.
Many similar claims. If twenty-five (25) or more similar arbitration demands are brought against us by or with the help of the same or coordinated lawyers, they will be administered under the AAA’s Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules, and any limitation period will be paused for those claims while that process runs.
Who decides what. The arbitrator decides all disputes about whether a claim is covered by this section, except that a court decides any dispute about the class action waiver or whether a claim belongs in small-claims court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this section.
You can opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing support@doomies.app with the subject line “Arbitration opt-out” within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms, telling us your name and that you’re opting out. Opting out affects only this section 19; the rest of these Terms still apply, and it won’t affect your use of Doomies in any way.
Time limit. To the extent the law allows, any claim relating to Doomies or these Terms must be brought within one (1) year after it arises, or it is permanently barred. This section survives the end of these Terms.
Changes to this section. If we change this section 19 in the future, the change won’t apply to any dispute you’ve already told us about in writing before the change took effect, and you may reject the change by emailing us within thirty (30) days of it, in which case the previous version of this section keeps applying to you.
20. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time, for example when Doomies gains a new feature or the law changes. When we do, we’ll post the new version here and update the effective date at the top. If a change is material, we’ll also let you know in the app or by another reasonable means before it takes effect. If you keep using Doomies after a change takes effect, you accept the updated Terms. If you don’t agree, you can cancel your subscription and stop using Doomies.
21. General
- Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement, are the whole agreement between you and us about Doomies, and replace any earlier understanding.
- Severability. If any part of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, that part will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest will stay in force.
- No waiver. If we don’t enforce a right under these Terms, that isn’t a waiver of it.
- Assignment. You may not transfer these Terms or your subscription to anyone else. We may assign these Terms, including as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
- Force majeure. We aren’t responsible for any delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including outages of Apple’s or other third-party services.
- Export. You’ll comply with any export laws that apply to your use of Doomies.
- Notices. We may give you notice in the app, on our website, or by another reasonable means. You can give us notice by email at the address below.
- Relationship. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, employment, agency or fiduciary relationship between you and us.
- Third-party beneficiaries. Apart from Apple as described in section 3, no one other than you and us has any rights under these Terms.
- Language. These Terms are written in English. If we provide a translation, the English version governs if the two differ.
- Interpretation. “Including” means “including without limitation”. Headings and our friendlier phrasing are there to help you read; they don’t change the legal meaning of a section.
