Purchase Terms

DeadScroll ("DEADSCROLL," "we," or "us") is an independently operated product based in India. By starting a paid plan through Google Play, you agree to these Purchase Terms, the Privacy Policy, and applicable Google Play terms. Statutory consumer rights that cannot legally be limited remain unaffected.

DEADSCROLL is free until the app estimates that it has helped you reclaim your first hour. The estimate assigns three minutes to each qualifying intervention that is followed by a qualifying exit from a selected app. Twenty qualifying exits form the first estimated hour.

This is a deliberately conservative behavioral estimate, not exact time tracking, a medical claim, or a guarantee of future results.

When that first estimated hour is reached, a disclosed 24-hour decision period begins, shown in the app as the 24-hour courtesy. Protection continues during that window while you choose, and the app reminds you before it ends. When it expires, continuing protection requires an active six-month or monthly plan, or another disclosed grant of access such as a referral reward.

You can also start a plan at any time during the free period.

Both plans are part of one DEADSCROLL subscription and give exactly the same protection. They differ only in how often you pay and in price.

The localized price, currency, taxes and billing period shown in the Google Play purchase interface at the time of purchase control. DEADSCROLL does not calculate or substitute a different checkout price.

Launch price lock. If you start a six-month plan before 31 January 2027 and keep it without a break, its price won’t rise for you. A break means the plan ending, not a renewal or a switch made in the app.

DEADSCROLL no longer sells the One-Time Unlock. If you bought it earlier, it stays honoured and can still be restored (see section 11).

No free trial is offered with either plan; the free first hour in section 2 takes its place.

Each plan renews automatically at the end of its period (six months or one month) at the price shown in Google Play, until you cancel. Google Play sends a reminder before a six-month plan renews.

DEADSCROLL may offer a referral programme inside the app. You can send a referral pass to another person. A pass is valid for fourteen days from the moment it is created, and it can be claimed by one installation only.

When a claimed pass reaches a qualified activation, as verified by DEADSCROLL's servers, both the sender and the receiver are granted seven days of protection. Each installation can be rewarded once, whether as a sender or as a receiver. Repeat rewards to the same installation are not granted.

Rewarded days are a promotional grant, not a purchase. No payment is taken, no Google Play order is created, and they are therefore not refundable, not restorable through Google Play, and not transferable to another device or account. They do not renew and do not convert into a subscription. When the seven days end, access returns to whatever state would otherwise apply.

We may withhold, withdraw, or revoke a pass or a reward where we reasonably detect self-referral, automation, manufactured installations, or other abuse of the programme, and we may change or end the programme at any time. Ending the programme does not affect a paid plan.

All Android purchases covered by these terms are processed through Google Play. Google handles payment methods, authentication, receipts, applicable checkout taxes, renewal charging, and payment recovery. DEADSCROLL does not receive or store your full card or bank-account details.

Cancelling. You can manage or cancel your plan through Google Play Subscriptions. Cancelling stops future renewals. Unless Google Play or applicable law provides otherwise, protection stays on until the end of the period you’ve already paid for, and no new charge is made after that date. Cancelling is not a refund request; section 9 explains refunds.

Switching plans. You can switch between six months and monthly from Plan & billing in the app. The switch starts straight away and nothing is charged at the time of the switch. The new plan’s price is first charged on the date your old plan would have renewed, and you’re never charged twice for the same time.

Uninstalling DEADSCROLL does not cancel a subscription. Cancelling a subscription does not delete local app data.

Google Play may provide a payment grace period or place a subscription on account hold after a renewal failure. DEADSCROLL may continue protection during a verified grace period. If Google Play reports that paid access is paused, expired, refunded, revoked, or on account hold, protection may enter the disclosed cold state until entitlement is restored.

Updating payment or completing a valid purchase restores protection after Google Play and DEADSCROLL securely verify the entitlement. Short offline verification interruptions may use a limited last-known-access window and will be reconciled later.

How to ask. Within 48 hours of a charge, you can use Google Play’s refund request. After that, or if Google Play directs you to us, use Settings → Contact support in the app, or write to product@deadscroll.app with your Google Play order number (it starts with GPA.). When DEADSCROLL finds your plan, Contact support fills the order number in for you. Never send a card number or a purchase token. We issue approved refunds through Google Play, back to the payment method you used, and every refund we give ends protection straight away, a partial refund included.

Your first payment. On either plan, you can ask for a full refund for any reason within 14 days of your first payment. This is once per person: a Google account that has already had a first-payment refund from us doesn’t get a second.

Six-month plan. The same applies to each six-month renewal: a full refund for any reason within 14 days of the renewal charge. After that, you can cancel in Google Play at any time, and protection continues until the end of the period you’ve paid for.

Monthly plan. You can cancel in Google Play at any time. Protection continues until the end of the month you’ve paid for. If a renewal charged you and you haven’t used it, tell us within 48 hours and we’ll consider a refund. Otherwise partial months aren’t refunded, except as described below or where the law requires.

If DEADSCROLL stops working on your phone. DEADSCROLL needs the settings in section 10 to stay on, and some phones need a battery setting changed. We’ll help you set it up. If it still keeps stopping and we can’t fix it within 14 days of you telling us, we’ll refund the part of your current period you couldn’t use, counted from the day you told us, and protection then ends. To help us check, we may ask you to send the technical details from Settings → Contact support. They describe your phone and DEADSCROLL’s settings, not your activity.

Always refunded: duplicate, accidental or unauthorised charges.

We may also refund in other cases, at our discretion. Google Play may grant refunds under its own policies. A refund, chargeback, revocation, or reversal removes the corresponding access. Nothing here limits your statutory rights.

DEADSCROLL runs on Android phones with Android 7.0 or later, installed from Google Play. It isn’t available on iOS. To nudge you, it needs these to stay on:

• Accessibility access for DEADSCROLL, so it can tell when you open an app you chose.
• Display over other apps, so the nudge can appear.
• The battery settings the app guides you through. Some phone makers stop background apps unless these are changed.

Android’s Advanced Protection mode can stop apps like DEADSCROLL from using Accessibility. DEADSCROLL can’t protect you while that mode is on.

If protection keeps stopping, the app tells you and shows the steps to fix it. If we need to look into it, we may ask you to send the technical details from Settings → Contact support. You can read and edit them before you send.

Eligible purchases, including an earlier One-Time Unlock, can be restored on Android using the same Google Play account that made the purchase. DEADSCROLL checks for them when it starts, and you can also tap Restore purchase. Restoration may require internet access and secure verification. A different Play account may not see the purchase.

Android purchases do not transfer to iOS or another app store. Local progress and configuration may be restored through supported Android backup or device-transfer services, but backup availability is controlled by Android, the device, and the user's settings.

We may update DEADSCROLL and these terms for product, security, legal, billing, or platform reasons. Material changes affecting an active subscription will be communicated as required by law or Google Play policy. We will not retroactively describe a recurring subscription as a one-time purchase, and One-Time Unlock purchases made before it was withdrawn stay honoured.

For support or formal grievances, contact product@deadscroll.app, or use Settings → Contact support in the app.

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Subject to mandatory consumer law, disputes are subject to the courts in Bengaluru, Karnataka.
