Terms &
Conditions

Effective Date: April 17, 2026 · Last Updated: November 11, 2026

Version 2.1, effective 7 November 2026

Deutsche Fassung: dam-it.io/de/agb. Both versions are equally binding.

What changed in version 2.1

  • Liability: new, valid liability clause; your statutory warranty rights stay unaffected (Sections 7 and 9)
  • Severability: simplified clause (Section 15)
  • The Terms apply when you subscribe or accept them in the app, not by downloading the app (introduction)
  • Free trial: you can cancel any time before the trial ends (Section 3(c))
  • Licence: it can only be revoked for good cause (Section 5)
  • Section 7 updated to the current features; Section 6 states that statutory warranty rights stay unaffected
  • Place of jurisdiction for merchants clarified (Section 11)
  • Added on 11 November 2026: formal withdrawal instructions and model withdrawal form (Section 4); no change to your rights or obligations

These changes only benefit you and take effect on publication (Section 13(c)).

What changed in version 2

  • Referral: there is no reward for the person who invites any more; invited friends may get a special offer (Section 3(f)). Referral days earned before 7 November 2026 are still granted
  • Changes to these Terms: we ask for your explicit consent in the app. Continued use is no longer treated as acceptance, and not accepting never blocks a paid subscription (Section 13)
  • Price changes: only through Google Play's price-change process, never by continued use (Section 3(e))
  • Changes to the app: only for a valid reason, and if a change noticeably worsens your use you can terminate free of charge within 30 days (Section 10)
  • Minors: the age rules now follow EU and German law instead of US COPPA rules (Section 2)
  • Purchases and refunds are processed by Google Play, and its terms and refund process apply in addition (Sections 3 and 4)

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern the use of the Dam It! mobile application ("Application"), operated by Cornelius Pflüger Digital Solutions, Inhaber: Cornelius Pflüger ("Service Provider", "we", "us").

These Terms apply to your use of the Application. You accept them when you subscribe or when the Application asks you to accept them (Section 13).

1. Scope of Services

The Application provides tools to reduce digital distractions by limiting interaction with short-form content applications (currently YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok and TikTok Lite; supported applications may change over time). Core functionality requires activation of the Android Accessibility Service (see Section 6).

2. Age Restriction - Minors

The Application is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. It is intended for persons aged 16 and over.

Under German law, a contract with a minor generally requires the consent of a parent or legal guardian (§§ 106 ff. BGB). If you are under 18, you may subscribe to a paid plan only with the consent of your parent or guardian. Under Art. 8 GDPR, in Germany consent-based processing of personal data (for example the optional analytics and crash reports) requires the consent of a parent or guardian for persons under 16, so please do not give such consent yourself if you are under 16. In other countries a different age limit may apply under local law.

If we learn that a child has provided us with personal data without the required consent, we will delete it. Please contact contact@dam-it.io if you have concerns.

3. Subscription & In-App Purchases

a) Billing Infrastructure
All purchases and subscription billing are processed exclusively through Google Play Billing (entitlements are managed via RevenueCat). We do not directly process, store, or have access to your payment card details. Google Play's terms and refund policies apply in addition to these Terms.

b) Subscription Terms

  • Premium features are available via a paid subscription billed in advance on a recurring basis
  • Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled
  • The applicable price and billing period are displayed in the Google Play Store before purchase confirmation
  • Prices may vary by region and are shown in your local currency by Google Play

c) Free Trial

  • If a free trial is offered, it converts automatically into a paid subscription unless you cancel it in Google Play before the trial period ends
  • Only one free trial per Google account is permitted
  • During the free trial period, you will not be charged

d) Cancellation

  • You may cancel your subscription at any time through your Google Play account settings (Google Play → Subscriptions)
  • Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you retain access to premium features until that date
  • The Service Provider cannot cancel subscriptions or issue refunds directly - all billing matters are managed by Google Play
  • For refund requests, please contact Google Play support: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2479637

e) Price Changes
The price of an existing subscription changes only through Google Play's price-change process. Google Play informs you in advance and, where required, asks for your consent. If you do not consent, the subscription is not renewed at the new price and ends at the end of the current billing period. A price change is never accepted by continued use of the Application.

f) Referral Programme & Promotional Codes

  • Eligibility: anyone who has completed the app's setup can share their referral link. A referred user ("referee") must be a new user who has not previously subscribed. Only one referral attribution is applied per install
  • Invitee offer: a referred user who uses a valid invite link or referral code may receive a promotional offer on their subscription. The offer and its conditions are shown in the app before purchase and may change or end at any time. There is no entitlement to an offer
  • No referrer reward: there is no reward for the person who invites. Rewards already granted before 7 November 2026 remain unaffected. This includes any referral days earned before 7 November 2026, also days held back while a paid subscription was running: they are still granted. If you are owed such days, email us at contact@dam-it.io and we will credit them
  • Self-referral is prohibited. Abuse, such as self-referral, fake accounts, automated or bulk link generation or duplicate installs, may lead to exclusion from offers and to disabling of referral links
  • The data processed for referral attribution is described in the Privacy Policy, Section 2(e)

4. Purchases & Right of Withdrawal (EU / EEA Consumers)

Purchases are processed through Google Play. Google Play handles payment, refunds and its own withdrawal process according to the Google Play terms, and its terms and refund policies apply in addition to these Terms.

If you are a consumer in the European Union or European Economic Area, your statutory rights remain unaffected. This includes the right of withdrawal (Widerrufsrecht) within 14 days where it applies. For digital content not supplied on a tangible medium (including in-app subscriptions and digital features), the right of withdrawal can expire under Art. 16(m) of Directive 2011/83/EU and the applicable national law (e.g., § 356 Abs. 5 BGB) if the service has begun with your express request and acknowledgment, as provided for by those rules.

For refunds, please use Google Play's refund process: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2479637. If mandatory consumer law in your country of residence provides stronger protections, those protections remain unaffected.

Withdrawal notice:
If you believe you have a right of withdrawal towards us, you may also send us a notice:

  • Cornelius Pflüger Digital Solutions, Email: contact@dam-it.io
  • Stating: your name, a clear statement of withdrawal, and the date of purchase

We will acknowledge your notice without undue delay and, where we are the contracting party and a refund is owed, refund within 14 days. Where Google Play is the seller of the purchase, it handles the refund.

Withdrawal instructions

The following instructions follow the statutory model (Annex I(A) of Directive 2011/83/EU; in Germany Annex 1 to Art. 246a § 1(2) EGBGB).

Right of withdrawal

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day of the conclusion of the contract.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us (Cornelius Pflüger Digital Solutions, owner: Cornelius Pflüger, H1 12-13, App. 76, 68159 Mannheim, Germany, email: contact@dam-it.io) of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or an email). You may use the model withdrawal form below, but it is not obligatory.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

If you requested to begin the performance of services during the withdrawal period, you shall pay us an amount which is in proportion to what has been provided until you have communicated us your withdrawal from this contract, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.

End of withdrawal instructions

Note on Google Play: payments run through Google Play. We arrange a reimbursement after a withdrawal through Google Play. You can also request the refund from Google Play directly: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2479637. Nothing is charged during a free trial; if you cancel in Google Play within the trial, there is no cost.

  • Name of consumer(s):

5. Intellectual Property

All rights, title, and interest in the Application remain with the Service Provider, including:

  • Source code, algorithms, and business logic
  • Design, user interface, and visual assets
  • Branding, logos, trademarks, and the "Dam It!" name

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Application for personal, non-commercial purposes in accordance with these Terms. We may revoke this licence only for good cause, in particular a serious breach of these Terms. You may not:

  • Copy, modify, adapt, or create derivative works of the Application
  • Distribute, sublicense, sell, or commercially exploit the Application
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Application, except where expressly permitted by applicable law (e.g., § 69e UrhG)

6. Use of Android Accessibility Service

The Application requires activation of the Android Accessibility Service for its core scroll-blocking functionality. By enabling this feature, you acknowledge that:

  • The Service Provider does not collect, record, store, or transmit any data via the Accessibility Service (see Privacy Policy, Section 1)
  • This permission can be revoked at any time in Android system settings (Settings → Accessibility)
  • Revoking the permission will disable the blocking functionality but will not affect other app features or your subscription status

The Service Provider is not responsible for limitations caused by device manufacturers, OS restrictions, Android version updates, or battery optimisation systems that may affect Accessibility Service availability. Your statutory rights in respect of defects remain unaffected.

7. Disclaimer of Blocking Functionality

The Application is designed to assist users in voluntarily reducing short-form video consumption. However, the Service Provider expressly makes no guarantee that:

  • Every scroll or swipe gesture will be blocked in every circumstance
  • The blocking functionality will remain effective following updates to third-party applications (e.g., YouTube, TikTok) or the Android operating system
  • The Application will function identically across all Android device manufacturers, as some OEM customisations may limit Accessibility Service behaviour
  • The Application achieves any specific behavioural outcome for the user

The Application does not currently provide scheduling or daily time limits. Features described as planned may change or may not ship.

The Application is a technical tool to support self-regulation. It does not constitute medical, therapeutic, or psychological advice, and is not a substitute for professional support in cases of problematic media use. Your statutory rights in respect of defects remain unaffected.

8. User Responsibilities

You agree to:

  • Use the Application only for personal, non-commercial purposes and in compliance with applicable laws
  • Not interfere with, circumvent, or attempt to disable the Application's security or functionality
  • Not use the Application in any manner that violates the rights of third parties
  • Maintain reasonable security practices on your device (e.g., use the official Google Play version; avoid rooting if it compromises Accessibility Service functionality)

9. Limitation of Liability

(a) We are liable without limitation for damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz) and to the extent we have given a guarantee.

(b) In cases of simple negligence we are liable only for the breach of an essential contractual obligation, meaning an obligation whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose fulfilment you may regularly rely. In that case our liability is limited to the damage that is foreseeable and typical for this type of contract.

(c) Otherwise our liability is excluded.

(d) The limitations above also apply in favour of our legal representatives and vicarious agents.

(e) Your statutory rights in respect of defects of digital products (§§ 327 ff. BGB) remain unaffected.

10. Availability & Changes to Service

We do not guarantee permanent or uninterrupted availability; temporary interruptions, for example for maintenance or because of third parties, can occur.

We may change the digital product itself (features, supported applications) only for a valid reason. Valid reasons are in particular changes in the supported third-party applications or in Android, security, legal requirements, and improvements or the further development of the Application. Changes do not cost you anything extra.

If a change more than insignificantly impairs your access to or use of the Application, we will inform you in advance in the Application (or by email if you have given us your address) and you may terminate your subscription free of charge within 30 days of the change or of the notice, whichever is later (§ 327r BGB). This does not apply if the change impairs access or usability only insignificantly. You can also cancel at any time in Google Play (see Section 3(d)).

If we discontinue the Application entirely, we will inform you in advance and, for subscription periods already paid for, refund the part of the price that relates to the time after the discontinuation, to the extent required by law.

11. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding its conflict of law provisions and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).

  • EU / EEA consumers: The mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence remain unaffected. Nothing in these Terms limits your rights under applicable national consumer law.
  • Business users: Merchants (Kaufleute), legal entities under public law and special funds under public law: the exclusive place of jurisdiction is Mannheim, Germany.
  • Consumers: Applicable statutory jurisdiction rules of your country of residence apply

12. Consumer Dispute Resolution (EU Requirement)

We are not obligated and generally not willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. Our email address for dispute-related correspondence is: contact@dam-it.io.

13. Changes to Terms

a) Consent in the Application. We may change these Terms, for example to adapt them to new features or to the law. Each version has a version number and an effective date, shown at the top of this page. If you have accepted an earlier version and a new version changes the main rights and obligations, the Application shows you a one-time dialog with a short summary of what changed and links to the Terms and the Privacy Policy. You can choose "Accept" or "Not now". If you accept, we record the version and the time of your acceptance on your device and with your subscription record at RevenueCat. If you choose "Not now", the dialog appears again each time you start the Application until you accept.

b) No consequences if you do not accept. Not accepting never blocks your access to a paid subscription. Until you accept the new Terms, the previous Terms continue to apply to you. Continued use of the Application is not treated as acceptance. You can cancel your subscription at any time in Google Play (Section 3(d)); cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

c) Changes without your consent. Changes that are only to your advantage, and purely editorial changes or changes required by law that do not affect the main obligations of either party, take effect when published, with notice in the Application or on this website.

d) Prices and the product. Price changes for existing subscriptions are made only as described in Section 3(e). Changes to the digital product follow Section 10.

e) Privacy Policy. Changes to the Privacy Policy are information, not a request for consent; the dialog shows them as noted. If the scope of a consent-based processing changes (analytics or crash reports you opted into, the accessibility service disclosure), we ask for your consent again.
