Terms of Use
1. Who we are
Attenya (the “App”) is provided by Laurenz Zuser, Vienna, Austria (“we”, “us”) — full postal address in the Imprint. Contact: support@attenya.app.
2. What Attenya is
Attenya is a self-control and digital-wellbeing tool. It helps you set aside distracting apps using Apple’s Screen Time / FamilyControls features and spend that time deliberately. You choose which apps to protect and how you use the App.
3. Not medical, safety or security advice
Attenya is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition, including problematic technology use, addiction or any mental-health condition. It provides no medical, psychological, legal or financial advice. Attenya is not a parental-control, monitoring or security product and must not be relied upon for safety-critical purposes.
4. How blocking works — important limitations
Attenya’s blocking relies entirely on Apple’s Screen Time / FamilyControls frameworks and on iOS behaving as designed. It is provided on a “best-effort” basis and may be affected by iOS or framework changes, device restarts, low-power conditions, system settings, your own actions, or platform limitations. We do not warrant that blocking is uninterrupted, error-free or impossible to bypass, and we are not responsible for any consequences resulting from it working or not working as you expected.
5. No guaranteed outcomes
Attenya is a tool, not a promise of results. We make no guarantee regarding focus, productivity, reduced screen time or any particular personal outcome.
6. Eligibility and acceptable use
You must be at least the age of digital consent in your country (in Austria, 14) to use the App. To purchase a paid subscription, you must be of full age and legal capacity, or act with the express consent of your legal guardian. You agree not to misuse the App, including not to use it unlawfully, interfere with its security or integrity, or reverse engineer it except where such restriction is prohibited by law.
7. Subscriptions, trials and billing (via Apple)
Attenya Pro is offered as an auto-renewable subscription (monthly, yearly) and/or a one-time purchase, sold and billed by Apple through In-App Purchase.
- Any free trial converts to a paid subscription unless cancelled at least 24 hours before it ends. Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled.
- You manage or cancel your subscription, and request refunds, through your Apple account / the App Store — not through us. Apple’s terms and privacy policy apply to the purchase.
- Nothing in these Terms limits any mandatory statutory withdrawal, cancellation, refund, warranty or other consumer right. Because purchases are handled by Apple, the practical exercise of subscription cancellation and refund requests happens through Apple / the App Store.
- Prices are shown in the App before purchase and may change for future periods.
- What the one-time purchase means: the one-time purchase is a single payment that unlocks Attenya Pro with no recurring charges, for as long as the Attenya app is offered and supported. The term “one-time purchase” refers exclusively to the billing model (no subscription, no recurring charge) — not to a promise of indefinite availability, future features, or compatibility with future iOS versions. If we discontinue Attenya, any refund is handled under Apple’s terms. Your mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.
- Pricing and distribution channel: the price shown on our website is indicative as of the publication date; only the price displayed in the Apple App Store at the time of purchase applies. Apple may adjust regional prices, taxes and availability at any time. Attenya is distributed exclusively via the Apple App Store — no direct sales, no alternative distribution channel.
8. Intellectual property
The App, its name “Attenya”, logo, design and content are owned by us or our licensors and protected by law. Apple’s EULA grants you a limited, personal licence to use the App; these Terms transfer no ownership to you.
9. Warranties / “as is”
To the extent permitted by law and without limiting any mandatory statutory warranty or consumer rights, the App is provided “as is” and “as available” without further warranties.
10. Limitation of liability
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability where this cannot lawfully be excluded — in particular for intent or gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under mandatory product-liability law, or under mandatory consumer-protection law. Subject to that:
- For slight negligence, we are liable only for the breach of an essential contractual obligation, limited to the typical, foreseeable damage.
- We are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, loss of data, lost profits, or damages arising from the blocking working or not working as described in Section 4, to the extent permitted by law.
11. Changes to the App and to these Terms
We may update the App and these Terms (e.g. for new features or legal reasons). The current version is always available here. We will notify you appropriately of material changes (e.g. in the App). Where legally required, we will obtain your consent or give you the opportunity to stop using the App before the change takes effect.
12. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by Austrian law, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, you additionally enjoy the mandatory protections of the law of your country of residence, and mandatory jurisdiction rules in your favour remain unaffected.
13. Governing language
The German version is the authoritative version. Translations are provided for convenience and do not limit your mandatory consumer rights. In case of discrepancies, the German version prevails to the extent permitted by law.
