Terms of Use
Prayhold is licensed to you under Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the standard App Store EULA). These notes add the few things specific to Prayhold. If anything here conflicts with the EULA, the EULA wins; nothing here limits the rights you have as a consumer under the law of your country.
What Prayhold does — and doesn't
Prayhold is a tool that uses Apple's Screen Time to hold apps you choose until you have paused for a prayer. It is a help for your own intentions, not a security product: you can always remove a hold yourself, in the app or in iOS Settings, and iOS may lift holds in situations outside our control (for example a Screen Time passcode change or an iOS update). Prayhold offers prayers and Scripture for reflection; it is not pastoral, medical or psychological advice.
Prayhold Pro subscription
- Plans. Prayhold Pro is offered as an annual subscription, a monthly subscription, and an annual "Supporter" plan with the same features at a higher price for those who want to support the project. Prices are shown in the app in your local currency before you buy.
- Renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the price shown unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
- Cancelling. Manage or cancel any time in iOS Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions, or from the Manage Subscription button in Prayhold. Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for.
- Refunds and withdrawal. Purchases are made from Apple, so refund requests go to Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. If you live in the EU/EEA or UK, your 14-day right of withdrawal applies to App Store purchases and is handled by Apple.
- Price changes. If a price changes, Apple notifies you in advance and, where required, asks for your consent before the new price applies.
- Free features. The free version lets you hold apps and pray without time limit. Pro adds prayer preferences, monthly insights, longer unlocks and protection for more apps, as described in the app.
Content
Original prayers in Prayhold are © Stanislav Batsukov and may be used by you personally within the app. Scripture passages are quoted from the World English Bible, British Edition (public domain), the Reina-Valera 1909 (public domain) and the Bíblia Livre (CC BY 3.0 BR). Book names and references are shown with each passage.
Acceptable use
Use Prayhold on your own device, for yourself. Do not try to circumvent Apple's Screen Time, reverse engineer the app beyond what the law allows, or use it to control another person's device without their informed agreement.
Liability
Prayhold is provided "as is". To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for apps that were, or were not, held at a particular moment, or for any loss resulting from your use of the app. This does not exclude liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including your statutory consumer rights.
Who you are dealing with
The app is published by Stanislav Batsukov, a sole proprietor registered in Poland (CEIDG), Warsaw, Poland — support@prayhold.com. These notes are governed by Polish law; if you are a consumer, the mandatory consumer protection rules of your country of residence also apply, and you may bring claims there. EU residents can also use the European Commission's online dispute resolution platform.
Changes
We may update these notes when the app changes. The date at the top tells you when. Material changes to subscriptions are communicated by Apple as described above.
