Terms &
Conditions

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

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"). By downloading or using the Application, you agree to these Terms.

If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not install or use the Application.

1. Scope of Services

The Application provides tools to reduce digital distractions by limiting interaction with short-form content applications (e.g., YouTube Shorts). Core functionality requires activation of the Android Accessibility Service (see Section 6).

2. Age Restriction - Minors (COPPA)

The Application is not intended for use by persons under the age of 13. In compliance with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA, 15 U.S.C. §§ 6501–6506), we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Users between the ages of 13 and 17 (or under 18 where local law requires) may only use the Application with the consent of a parent or legal guardian. By using the Application, you represent that you meet the applicable age requirement or that a parent or guardian has consented on your behalf.

If we learn that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete it immediately. 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 (managed via RevenueCat). We do not directly process, store, or have access to your payment card details.

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 cancelled at least 24 hours 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
We may change subscription prices with reasonable advance notice. Google Play will inform you of price changes before the next billing cycle. Continued use of the Application after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new price.

4. Right of Withdrawal (EU / EEA Consumers)

If you are a consumer resident in the European Union or European Economic Area, you have a statutory right of withdrawal (Widerrufsrecht) within 14 days of the date of purchase, without providing reasons.

Loss of Right of Withdrawal for Digital Content:
For digital content not supplied on a tangible medium (including in-app subscriptions and digital features), pursuant to Art. 16(m) of Directive 2011/83/EU and the applicable national implementing legislation (e.g., § 356 Abs. 5 BGB):

  • By confirming the purchase and expressly requesting immediate commencement of the service, you acknowledge that your right of withdrawal is forfeited once the digital service has begun to be provided
  • You will be asked to confirm this at the point of purchase via Google Play

Exceptions (Right of Withdrawal Remains):
If the service has not yet commenced, or if mandatory EU consumer law in your country of residence provides stronger protections, those protections remain unaffected.

Model Withdrawal Form (Muster-Widerrufsformular):
If you wish to exercise your right of withdrawal (where applicable), you may do so by contacting:

  • 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 withdrawal without undue delay. Any refund owed will be processed via the original payment method within 14 days of receiving notice of withdrawal.

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 and trademarks (including the "Dam It!" name and beaver mascot)

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Application for personal, non-commercial purposes in accordance with 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.

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 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.

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

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

  • The Application is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranty of any kind
  • No guarantee is made regarding uninterrupted, error-free, or fully effective operation
  • The Service Provider shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of productivity, data, or profits, arising from use of or inability to use the Application

Mandatory exceptions under German law (these limitations do not apply to):

  • Damages caused by Vorsatz (wilful intent) or grobe Fahrlässigkeit (gross negligence)
  • Injury to life, body, or health
  • Claims under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz)
  • Any other liability that cannot be excluded by law

10. Availability & Changes to Service

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the Application at any time, including introducing new features, limitations, or supported platforms. We do not guarantee permanent or uninterrupted availability. Where changes materially affect paid subscribers, we will provide reasonable notice.

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: Exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in Germany
  • Consumers: Applicable statutory jurisdiction rules of your country of residence apply

12. Consumer Dispute Resolution (EU Requirement)

The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR):
https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr

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

We may update these Terms from time to time. Where changes are material, we will notify you within the Application and/or by email with reasonable advance notice. Continued use of the Application after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree with the new Terms, you must discontinue use of the Application.

15. Severability (Salvatorische Klausel)

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under applicable law, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be replaced with a valid provision that most closely reflects the commercial intent of the original.
