These terms govern your use of the PhonePact pre-launch website, waitlist, and feedback form. They do not govern the future mobile application; separate app terms will be provided before launch.
Eligibility and Accurate Information
You must be at least 13 years old to submit information through this website. You agree to provide contact information that belongs to you and not to use automated tools to abuse the forms or disrupt the site.
Waitlist and Communications
Joining the waitlist does not guarantee beta access, a launch date, product availability, pricing, or any particular feature. Email updates may be unsubscribed from at any time. SMS updates are optional and are sent only after affirmative consent; message and data rates may apply.
Product Information
Descriptions, interface previews, pricing ideas, commitments, and planned features are pre-launch concepts and may change as PhonePact is designed, tested, and reviewed. The website does not provide medical or mental-health advice.
Acceptable Use
You may not interfere with the site, submit another person’s information without authorization, attempt unauthorized access, or use the site for unlawful activity.
Intellectual Property
PhonePact’s name, original copy, graphics, and website design are owned by PhonePact LLC or used with permission. These terms do not transfer any ownership rights to you.
Availability and Liability
The pre-launch site is provided on an “as available” basis. We do not promise uninterrupted operation or that the future product will produce a particular behavioral or health outcome. Rights that cannot legally be limited remain unaffected.
Changes and Contact
We may update these terms as the website and product evolve. Continued use after an update means the revised terms apply to later use. Questions may be sent to info@getphonepact.com.
Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms,” “Agreement”) carefully before using the website or joining the pre-launch waitlist operated by PhonePact LLC (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
This Agreement sets forth the legally binding terms and conditions governing your interaction with our web funnel and our upcoming mobile application platform. By accessing our website, interacting with our forms, or submitting your contact information, you explicitly agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you are strictly prohibited from utilizing this website or joining our waitlist.
To ensure clarity for both users and developers, this document is structurally divided into Part 1: The Pre-Launch Web Funnel & Waitlist Controls, Part 2: The Mobile Application Architecture Framework, and Part 3: Global Legal Protections & Universal Corporate Clauses.
Part 1: The Pre-Launch Web Funnel & Waitlist Controls
This section governs all interactions taking place directly on our public-facing web landing pages before the mobile platform goes live.
1.1 Intent and Scope of the Waitlist
The PhonePact website serves as an informational landing page and waitlist for individuals seeking an alternative, autonomy-focused approach to screen-time regulation. Joining the waitlist does not guarantee immediate beta access, application deployment slots, or contractual rights to software delivery. Optional preference information is used to inform product development and is handled according to our Privacy Policy.
1.2 User-Certified Input Accuracy
By submitting data through our web funnel, you represent and warrant that all data you supply (including your mobile phone number and email address) is completely accurate, truthful, and belongs exclusively to you. You are strictly prohibited from inputting numbers or emails belonging to third parties or utilizing automated web scraping scripts, bots, or sybil-attack vectors to artificially inflate our waitlist registry.
Part 2: The Mobile Application Architecture Framework
This section outlines the operational constraints, community rules, and technical boundaries governing our upcoming application software.
2.1 The Covenant Sequence & User Pledges
Before entering any accountability peer group (“Circle”), you must execute a mandatory, irreversible three-step onboarding covenant designed to establish distinct self-regulatory intent:
- Target Goal Selection: You must utilize our custom visual arc/dial module to explicitly choose your targeted daily maximum screentime allocation.
- Statement of Intent (The Pledge): You must provide a clear textual justification detailing your objective, bound strictly to a 280-character maximum ceiling.
- The Covenant Signature: You must physically sketch your signature or handwritten legal marker directly onto your device’s capacitive screen matrix using a fingertip interface. You acknowledge that this asset is rasterized and permanently bound to your user profile card inside that specific accountability cluster.
2.2 Core Mobile Tracking & System Overrides
[Precise programmatic execution frameworks for tracking background usage to be finalized prior to mobile launch.]
System Override Interventions: You explicitly acknowledge and consent to the application’s core loop behavior, which utilizes system-level modal overlays that forcefully command temporary visual focus over active applications when specific milestone thresholds are breached.
2.3 Peer-to-Peer Interactivity & Conditional Privacy
By entering into an Accountability Circle, you explicitly consent to the following sociological looking-glass mechanisms and public tracking rules within your group:
- Roster Attributes: Your user name, profile picture, personal daily screen time goal, and written overage justifications are permanently displayed to all active circle participants.
- The Conditional Privacy Restriction: High-precision, real-time incremental usage updates are completely masked from peers while you track beneath your target thresholds. Peer usage details reveal themselves automatically if and when you breach your target goal metric for the day.
- Overage Broadcasts: The instant your goal metric is completed, you must choose to provide an explanation or allow an automated milestone notification to broadcast directly to the group members’ phone notifications and chatroom feeds after a five-minute grace period.
- The 24-Hour Ephemeral Rule: All messages, system alerts, request cards, and chat artifacts processed in the “Room” are subject to an aggressive maintenance script that permanently purges and deletes all local and server-side records exactly 24 hours after creation. No historic logs can or will be recovered.
2.4 Peer-to-Peer Collaborative Adjustments
You cannot modify your core tracking parameters, alter daily targets, or exclude specific applications (e.g., FaceTime, Spotify, Slack) silently. Any modification request requires selecting a peer verification partner, defining a temporary or permanent temporal duration, logging a written structural justification, and receiving a formal digital “Agree” verification from your peer partner on their home dashboard.
2.5 Financial Architecture, Pricing, and The 30-Day Decision Block
[Primary payment processing vendor and gateway interface details to be finalized prior to mobile launch.]
- The Month 1 Experiment: Any user can download PhonePact and create or join circles completely free without entering payment or credit card details for the first 30 days.
- The Day 30 Choice: At exactly 12:00 AM on the 30th day, the application freezes normal execution loops and displays a full-screen questionnaire block asking if you have noticed a change in your relationship with your screen.
- The “Step Away Gently” Clause: If you choose “No” on the questionnaire, your account structure, circle associations, covenant signatures, and metrics are instantly and permanently deleted from our servers with zero historical records or backups retained. If you choose “Yes,” you commit to a $1/month subscription tier to maintain active circle operations.
- Price Stability: PhonePact LLC commits that the baseline $1 subscription price for paying users will never increase, though options to voluntarily pay more will exist within the application.
Part 3: Global Legal Protections & Universal Clauses
This section outlines intellectual property, corporate liabilities, and dispute resolution frameworks protecting PhonePact LLC.
3.1 Intellectual Property Sovereignty
The visual assets, core architectural loops, the paper-minimalist user interface design (featuring Deep Organic Green on Ancient Pearl with custom serif typography), the visual arc/dial pact tools, the custom hand-signed covenant sequence, and all copy strings, logos, and branding elements are the exclusive intellectual property of PhonePact LLC. You may not reverse-engineer, copy, scrape, mimic, or redistribute our functional frameworks, software concepts, or design aesthetics for commercial use.
3.2 Non-Negotiable Philanthropic Allocation Charter
PhonePact LLC operates under a strict humanitarian alignment charter:
- No Commercial Exploitation: Zero advertisements will ever be displayed within the user experience or web presence under any circumstances.
- Philanthropic Routing: Exactly 10% of gross operational profits are automatically routed to verified, high-impact humanitarian aid charities of the Company’s choosing.
3.3 Severability and Decentralization Status
[Server architecture and local storage model to be finalized prior to mobile launch. Due to our intentional privacy protections (including the 24-hour purge and Day 30 trial erasure), if your data is deleted by the system or upon your explicit request, PhonePact LLC cannot recover it for you under any circumstances.]
3.4 Disclaimer of Warranties
THE WEBSITE, WAITLIST, AND UPCOMING APPLICATION SERVICE ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. PHONEPACT LLC EXPLICITLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR UNINTERRUPTED OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL REPAIR BEHAVIORAL PATTERNS OR REPAIR PHONE USE DEPENDENCIES UNILATERALLY. SUSTAINABLE BEHAVIORAL FREEDOM ULTIMATELY DEPENDS UPON USER INTENT AND COLLABORATIVE ENGAGEMENT.
3.5 Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL PHONEPACT LLC, ITS FOUNDERS, EMPLOYEES, OPERATIONS MANAGERS, OR SOFTWARE ENGINEERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, DEVICE DOWNTIME, OPERATIONAL INTERRUPTIONS, OR PERSONAL FRUSTRATION, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE, THE WAITLIST FORM, PEER GROUP CHAT ATTRIBUTES, SYSTEM OVERLAY OVERRIDES, OR MOBILE APP INTERFACES.
3.6 Governing Law & Mandatory Binding Arbitration
These Terms of Service and any operational disputes arising between you and PhonePact LLC shall be governed by, interpreted, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (or your registered corporate jurisdiction), without regard to its conflict of law principles.
ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONFLICT ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH INDIVIDUAL BINDING ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN A COURT OF LAW. YOU EXPLICITLY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES AGAINST PHONEPACT LLC.
3.7 Contact, Support, and Legal Inquiries
