BeatSocial1. About these terms
These terms are an agreement between you and AskAutomator (“we”, “us”), and cover the BeatSocial app and beatsocial.app. Our Privacy Policy and Subscriptions and Refunds policy are part of them.
2. Who can use BeatSocial
You must be at least 13. If you’re under 18, or below the age of adulthood where you live, you need a parent or guardian’s permission. You’re responsible for keeping your login details safe and for activity on your account. Please keep one account per person.
3. What the app does to your phone
BeatSocial works by restricting your own access to apps, websites and, if you choose, your phone’s settings. You set this up yourself, and you understand that:
- Locks are meant to be hard to undo. With a Custom Passcode, Friend Passcode, Settings Lockdown or Anti-Uninstall Lock in place, you may be unable to reach blocked apps, change settings or uninstall BeatSocial without the passcode.
- Don’t block what you can’t lose. Don’t block anything you may need in an emergency, for health or safety, or for work you can’t put off. Emergency calling is controlled by your phone, but you’re responsible for choosing your block list sensibly.
- Your Beatmate is your own choice. We don’t control whether your friend replies or gives you a passcode, and we can’t bypass a commitment on their behalf except where we choose to for support reasons.
- Blocking isn’t guaranteed. It depends on Android, your phone’s manufacturer, battery settings and app updates. It may sometimes stop working or be bypassed.
BeatSocial is a self-control tool. It isn’t medical or mental health care, or a parental control product. If phone use is seriously affecting your wellbeing, please speak to a qualified professional.
4. Commitments and streaks
The app records your commitments and works out streaks using the rules shown in the app. We may adjust a result that was caused by an error or abuse.
5. BeatCoins
- BeatCoins are a virtual reward within the app. They aren’t money, currency, securities or an investment. They have no cash value and can’t be sold, transferred or exchanged outside the app.
- You hold a limited, revocable licence to use them under these terms. You don’t own them.
- We may change how coins are earned or spent. We’ll try to give notice of significant changes.
- Coins are removed when you delete your account, and can’t be restored afterwards.
Staking
Staking puts coins you already hold at risk on a commitment. If you complete it, you receive your stake back plus the reward shown. If you fail, or stop it early, you lose the stake. Staking uses BeatCoins only. You can’t stake real money, and it isn’t gambling or a wager of anything of monetary value.
Rewards Store
The Rewards Store isn’t open yet. Once it opens, what’s available, the coin prices and any conditions will be shown in the app and may change. Rewards offered by third parties are also subject to their terms.
6. Leaderboard
The leaderboard ranks users on coins earned in the last 7 days, and may place you in a group with other users. Bonus coins for top places are BeatCoins only. You can hide yourself from it in Leaderboard Settings. We may remove anyone who cheats from the rankings.
7. Premium
Premium is an optional subscription, sold and billed through Google Play. It renews automatically until you cancel in Google Play. Pricing, renewal, cancellation and refunds are explained in our Subscriptions and Refunds policy.
8. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Cheat, automate, or exploit errors to earn coins or climb the leaderboard, including through multiple accounts.
- Use a name or profile photo that is offensive, misleading or infringes someone else’s rights.
- Add someone as a Beatmate without their agreement, or use the feature to harass anyone.
- Install BeatSocial on someone else’s phone to restrict or monitor them without their knowledge.
- Reverse engineer, resell or interfere with the app or our servers.
9. Your content
You keep ownership of what you add, such as your name, photo and block screen text. You give us permission to store and display it as needed to run the service, for example showing your name on the leaderboard.
10. Our rights
The app, website, name, logo and Beatso mascot belong to us. We license you to use the app for personal, non-commercial purposes while you follow these terms.
11. Suspending or closing accounts
You can stop at any time by deleting your account. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, or if we need to for legal or security reasons. We may also change or discontinue features, and will give reasonable notice of anything significant where we can.
12. Disclaimers and liability
BeatSocial is provided “as is”. We don’t promise that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that it’ll achieve any particular result for you.
To the extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for indirect or consequential losses, including anything arising from being locked out of an app, a missed call or notification, or lost coins or streaks. Our total liability for any claim is limited to what you paid us for Premium in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing here limits rights that can’t legally be limited, including consumer rights where you live.
13. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of India, and its courts have jurisdiction over disputes, subject to any mandatory rights you have in your own country. Please contact us first, as most problems can be sorted out directly.
14. Changes
We may update these terms. We’ll change the date at the top and tell you in the app if a change is significant. Continuing to use BeatSocial afterwards means you accept the new terms.
