These terms apply to the Pauso Android app (package com.siva.pauso) developed by Siva Nimmala.
By installing or using Pauso you agree to them, together with the
Pauso Privacy Policy and the
Google Play Terms of Service.
1. The app
Pauso is a focus tool. It shows a pause screen before apps you choose, and can block those apps during schedules, after a daily time limit, or while strict mode is on. Pauso contains no ads. Features may change, be added or be removed over time.
2. What Pauso can and cannot do
- Pauso works only while its accessibility service is enabled and running. Some phones stop background services to save battery; the app explains how to prevent this, but we cannot guarantee it on every device.
- Blocking is a tool to help you, not a security control. A determined user can bypass it, for example by restarting the phone in safe mode. Do not rely on Pauso to restrict another person's device.
- Strict mode locks Pauso's own settings, the system accessibility page and the uninstall dialog until the time you chose. There is no early exit. You choose the length; by starting strict mode you accept that it runs to the end.
3. Pauso Premium
- What you get: pausing more than three apps, block schedules, daily limits and strict mode.
- Plans: monthly and yearly auto-renewing subscriptions, sold through Google Play. The price for your country is shown in the app and in Google Play before you confirm.
- Free trial: a plan may include a free trial for people who have not had Premium before. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, the plan's price is charged when it ends.
- Renewal: subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period at the then-current price, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before renewal. If a price changes, Google Play will notify you in advance as required.
- Cancelling: cancel any time in Google Play → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. You keep Premium until the end of the period you have paid for.
- When Premium ends: the pause screen keeps working for your first three paused apps. Schedules, daily limits and strict mode stop applying but your settings are kept.
- Refunds: payments are handled by Google Play and follow Google Play's refund policy. For other problems, contact us.
- Restoring: Premium is tied to your Google account. Use Restore purchases on the Pauso Premium screen on a new device signed in with the same account.
4. Acceptable use
Do not reverse engineer the app to bypass Premium, or use the app in a way that breaks the law or third-party terms. App names, icons and trademarks shown in Pauso belong to their respective owners.
5. Disclaimer and liability
Pauso is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, for apps being blocked or not blocked when you expected otherwise, or for loss of data such as your rules and stats. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws in your country.
6. Changes
We may update these terms; the effective date above shows the latest version. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.
