Effective: May 14, 2026 · Last updated: August 4, 2026 (v6)
By downloading, installing, or using Student Focus (the "App"), you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the App.
These Terms include a dispute-resolution clause (Section 9) that requires you to first try to resolve disputes informally. They do not waive your statutory rights as a consumer.
Student Focus is offered to students aged 13 or older with a valid school or university email address. Eligibility is checked by rejecting ages below 13 during onboarding, requiring an academic email, and confirming the sign-in credential sent to that address. The age entry is not stored or uploaded, and we do not collect a date of birth. Non-academic email domains are rejected at sign-up. If we learn that an account belongs to a child under 13, we will delete it. By using the App, you confirm that you meet these requirements and that the information you provide is accurate.
Quebec residents aged 14 to 17 may consent on their own behalf under Quebec law because the App is intended for high-school and post-secondary students.
Your account is tied to your school email address. You are responsible for keeping access to that email secure. We are not liable for unauthorized access resulting from a compromised email account. You may not create accounts on behalf of others or share an account with multiple people.
The App applies a 60-second resend cooldown after requesting an email sign-in code to reduce duplicate requests.
We grant you a limited, personal, revocable, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the App on devices you own or control, solely for personal, non-commercial use, and subject to these Terms.
If you obtained the App from the Apple App Store, your use is also subject to Apple's Standard End User License Agreement. Where Apple's EULA conflicts with these Terms, Apple's EULA governs the licensed application aspects.
If you obtained the App from the Google Play Store, your use is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service.
Student Focus is a personal productivity tool. You agree not to:
Anything you type into the App, for example custom block names, belongs to you. You grant us a limited license to display that content back to you on your device so the App can function. We do not upload your custom block names to our servers.
Blocking apps on a phone depends on permissions you grant and the operating system's own APIs:
If required permissions are revoked or unavailable, the App cannot enforce the affected blocks. We do our best, but we cannot guarantee a particular blocking outcome. Protected actions include disabling a target, loosening a configured limit, ending a focus session early after its initial 20-second lock, or replaying setup. Self Control requires a continuous 10-second hold followed by a 2-minute in-app waiting period. Friend Control requires a correct rotating code plus a live server check confirming current approval, revocation, and expiry status. Completing either authorized path grants a 45-minute local grace period for later protected actions. Friend-granted grace is revalidated and fails closed if approval cannot be confirmed. Resetting local data and deleting an account remain separately available after explicit destructive confirmation, without completing the override gate.
If you enable Friend Control, a trusted friend can help you override your own blocks. By using this feature:
The App is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement, except where such warranties cannot be excluded under applicable consumer law.
We do not guarantee uninterrupted service without errors, that blocking will work in every situation, or that the App will be compatible with future OS versions.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Student Focus and its developer are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from your use of the App, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
Our total liability for any claim arising from or related to the App is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the past 12 months for the App, or (b) CAD $100, except where such a limit is prohibited by applicable law.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law, including:
Informal resolution first. Before filing any formal claim, please email livefonam@gmail.com describing the issue. We will work in good faith for 30 days to resolve it.
For users in the United States: If informal resolution fails, you may bring an individual claim in small-claims court in your county of residence. You agree to bring claims only in your individual capacity and not as part of a class action, except where prohibited by law. Nothing in this clause limits any right you have under Quebec's Loi sur la protection du consommateur or any other mandatory consumer-protection law to bring a class action or to sue in your local court.
For users outside the United States: Disputes will be resolved in the courts of the Province of Quebec, Canada.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Quebec, Canada, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. If you live in California, you keep your rights under California consumer protection law where they apply.
We may suspend or terminate your account if you materially violate these Terms or use the App in a way that harms the Service or other users. We will give you reasonable notice unless the conduct requires immediate action.
You may terminate at any time in two ways:
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will update the "Last updated" date and provide any additional notice required by applicable law. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the rest of the Terms remain in effect. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App.
