Draft — not yet reviewed by a lawyer. It describes how the service works today, but may still change.

Terms of service

Last change: 11 November 2026

1. Who and what

• These terms set out the rules for using the TimeProtect service provided electronically: the TimeProtect app, the parent panel at app.timeprotect.eu, the computer client and the website timeprotect.eu.
• Service provider: [TO BE COMPLETED: name, address, contact e-mail, tax number if any].
• How we process personal data is described in the privacy policy.

2. What the service is

• TimeProtect lets a parent set a shared screen time limit and rules for apps and websites on a child's devices (Android, Linux) and manage them from a phone or a browser.
• The service is free and without ads. Support through Ko-fi is voluntary and unlocks no extra features.
• The software is free software (Android app: GPL-3.0, server and installer: AGPL-3.0), based on the TimeLimit project (Jonas Lochmann). The licences cover the code; these terms cover the use of our server.
• The service is under development and may contain bugs. We do not guarantee that every attempt to get around the limits will be blocked.

3. Technical requirements

• An Android device or a Linux computer (X11 session), internet access, a current browser (parent panel) and the parent's e-mail address.
• The Android app is installed from an APK file from timeprotect.eu or over a USB cable.

4. Family account

• The account (family) is created by an adult parent or legal guardian. Creating new families may temporarily be limited to invitations.
• The service agreement starts when the family is created and lasts until the account is deleted. A parent can delete the account at any time in the TimeProtect app, without giving a reason.
• The parent keeps the parent password, sign-in codes and invitation links confidential (an invitation link works like a password).
• A family in which no device has connected to the server for 90 days is deleted by the server automatically.

5. Rules of use

• TimeProtect may be used only on devices of your own children or children in your care, and on your own devices. It must not be used to monitor other people, in particular adults without their knowledge.
• We encourage you to tell your child about the limits. TimeProtect works openly: the child sees the limits and the time left.
• Do not disrupt the server, get around its security or upload unlawful content (including to the family vault).
• If these rules are broken we may block or delete the account, after a warning by e-mail unless the breach is serious.

6. Liability

We do our best to keep the service running, but outages and maintenance breaks can happen. [TO BE COMPLETED: scope of liability — lawyer's review, taking into account consumer rights that a contract cannot limit]

7. Complaints and contact

• Send complaints and questions to the address in section 1. Describe the problem and give the account's e-mail address.
• We answer within 14 days.
• Consumers may use out-of-court dispute resolution (e.g. a consumer ombudsman) [TO BE COMPLETED: lawyer's review].

8. Changes to the terms

We announce changes to these terms in the parent panel or by e-mail at least 14 days before they take effect. If you do not agree, you can delete the account. Polish law applies [TO BE COMPLETED: lawyer's review]. The Polish version is the binding one; this English text is a translation.
