Terms of Service

Effective: 30 April 2026 · Last updated: 30 April 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Simple Scale FZ-LLC ("DontSnooze", "we", "us") governing your use of the DontSnooze mobile application and the website at dontsnooze.io (together, the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 17 years old to use DontSnooze. By using the Service, you represent that you are at least 17 and that you have the capacity to enter into a binding agreement.

2. The Service in plain English

DontSnooze is a social accountability alarm clock that uses photos as a personal stake to help you complete your morning challenges. After you grant Photo Library access, the app automatically samples photos from your iPhone library and stores them privately as your stake. You cannot view, edit, or delete individual photos in your stake collection. When you complete a challenge on time, nothing is shared. When a challenge fails, the app shares one photo from your stake with the followers you have accepted on the Service. You decide who can follow you, and the people you have not accepted cannot see your stake photos. The only way to prevent any sharing is to complete your challenges on time.

By granting Photo Library access, you authorize this automatic sampling and acknowledge that any photo currently in your iPhone library may be used as your stake and, if a challenge fails, shared with your accepted followers. Do not grant Photo Library access if your library contains content you would not be comfortable sharing. You can revoke Photo Library access at any time from iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Photos → DontSnooze; revocation stops new photos from being added to your stake, but does not remove photos already collected. Deleting your account removes the entire stake permanently.

3. Your account

  • You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure.
  • You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, except where the activity results from our negligence.
  • One account per person. Do not impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity.
  • We may suspend or terminate your account for violations of these Terms, including those described in Section 5.

4. Your content

You retain ownership of the photos, videos, text, and other content you submit or that we collect from your device with your permission (together, your "Content"). You grant DontSnooze a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, transmit, and display your Content solely as needed to operate the Service (for example, to maintain your punishment pool, to display a punishment-pool photo to your accepted followers if you fail a challenge, to deliver notifications, to back up your data, and to debug issues).

You represent that you own or have the necessary rights to the photos in your iPhone library and the other Content covered by this licence, that the Content does not infringe any third party's rights, and that it does not contain illegal material.

You can delete other Content (alarms, challenges, follow relationships, profile data) from inside the app or by deleting your account. You cannot delete individual pool photos directly; the only ways to remove pool photos are to complete the challenges that consume them, to revoke Photo Library access (which stops new additions), or to delete your account (which deletes everything in the pool). When you remove Content, we delete it from our active systems; residual copies may persist in routine backups for up to 30 days.

5. Acceptable use — zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users

DontSnooze has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. You agree not to upload, post, share, or transmit any content that:

  • depicts or constitutes nudity, sexually explicit material, sexual content involving minors, or any material that sexualizes children in any way;
  • depicts or promotes violence, self-harm, suicide, terrorism, or extreme gore;
  • harasses, bullies, threatens, doxes, or stalks any person;
  • promotes hate, discrimination, or violence against people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected characteristic;
  • impersonates any person or entity, or misrepresents your affiliation;
  • infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, right of privacy, right of publicity, or other right of any party;
  • is unlawful in your jurisdiction, fraudulent, or designed to deceive;
  • contains malware, scrapes the Service, attempts to reverse-engineer it, or otherwise interferes with the Service.

We reserve the right (but are not obligated) to remove any Content and to suspend or terminate any account that violates this Section 5, with or without notice.

6. Reporting and takedown

If you encounter Content or a user that violates Section 5, please report it inside the app (long-press the content or the user, then tap Report) or email contact@simplescale.tech.

We aim to review reports of objectionable content within 24 hours. If a report is upheld, we will remove the Content and may suspend or terminate the offending account. We may also notify the reporting user of the outcome.

7. Blocking

You can block another user from inside the app. Once blocked, the other user cannot follow you, see your profile, or appear in your feeds, and they cannot interact with you on the Service.

8. Copyright and DMCA

We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe that Content on the Service infringes your copyright, please send a notice to contact@simplescale.tech with:

  • identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed;
  • identification of the allegedly infringing material and information sufficient to locate it;
  • your contact information;
  • a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised;
  • a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorised to act on behalf of the rights holder;
  • your physical or electronic signature.

We will respond to valid notices and may remove the disputed Content. We may also terminate accounts that repeatedly infringe.

9. Service changes

We may add, modify, or remove features at any time, and we may release updates to fix bugs, improve performance, or comply with law. We will not make material changes to the way your data is collected or used without notice.

10. Termination

You can stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We can suspend or terminate your account for violations of these Terms, prolonged inactivity, or where required by law. On termination, your right to use the Service ends, and we will delete your account data as described in our Privacy Policy.

11. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE FROM HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ALARMS WILL FIRE IN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE. YOU REMAIN RESPONSIBLE FOR ARRANGEMENTS THAT MATTER (FLIGHTS, MEDICATION, SAFETY) — DO NOT RELY SOLELY ON DONTSNOOZE FOR THEM.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL DONTSNOOZE, ITS AFFILIATES, OR ITS PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM AND (B) US$ 50.

NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

13. Indemnity

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless DontSnooze and our affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of (a) your Content, (b) your use of the Service, (c) your violation of these Terms, or (d) your violation of any third-party right.

14. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates and the applicable free zone where Simple Scale FZ-LLC is registered, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. You and we agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the applicable free zone for any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, except that we may seek injunctive relief in any competent court.

15. Apple-specific terms (iOS App Store)

You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and DontSnooze, not Apple, and that Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support. In the event of any failure of the Service to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Service. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

16. Miscellaneous

  • Entire agreement: these Terms (and our Privacy Policy) are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
  • Severability: if any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
  • No waiver: failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of it.
  • Assignment: you may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger or acquisition.
  • Notices: we may send you notices in-app, by push, or by email at the address associated with your account.
