Terms of use

These terms are an agreement between you and Conor Joseph Thomas Farrington ("crocial", "we"). By using crocial you agree to them.

Who can use crocial

You must be 18 or older. Use one account, keep your sign-in safe, and tell us if you think someone else is using it.

What crocial does

crocial helps you spend less time on the social apps you choose by measuring your time, locking those apps at your daily limit, and offering goal sessions instead. It relies on Android settings you turn on (usage access, the accessibility service and battery settings). Your phone can switch these off; crocial will tell you when it notices, but it can’t promise to catch every case. The accessibility service only notices which app has opened; it doesn’t read your screen. You can turn any of these off in Android settings, but then crocial can’t measure or lock apps. crocial is a wellbeing tool, not medical or mental-health care.

The AI coach

The coach helps you plan and start a goal. It can make mistakes. It does not give medical, legal or financial advice, and it is not a crisis or emergency service. If you are in danger, contact your local emergency services. If you tell the coach something that suggests you may be in distress, it stops coaching and shows you where to get support. Don’t share passwords, financial details or other sensitive information with it. Goal sessions last up to 15 minutes, with daily limits that depend on your plan.

crocial Pro

• Pro is a monthly subscription bought through Google Play, at the price shown in Google Play for your country.
• It renews every month until you cancel. Cancel any time in Google Play; Pro stays on until the end of the month you’ve paid for.
• Refunds follow Google Play’s refund policies, and nothing here limits your rights under consumer law.
• If Pro ends, your limits go back to the free plan straight away and your history is kept.
• Deleting your account doesn’t cancel a subscription: cancel it in Google Play first.
• If we change the price, we’ll tell you before it applies, and you can cancel before then.

Points and rewards

• You earn points for progress crocial can measure. The rules are on the rewards screen in the app.
• Points have no cash value, can’t be sold or moved to another account, and expire 6 months after you earn them.
• Data rewards are limited to one a month per person, and each month’s data rewards come from a fixed budget. When it’s used up, we offer Pro days instead.
• We may hold back or remove points earned by cheating, such as faking your usage or using more than one account, and we’ll tell you why.
• We may change the points rules or end rewards with notice in the app. Points you already have stay usable for at least 30 days after that notice.

Your content

Your goals and messages are yours. You let us store and process them only to run crocial for you, as described in the privacy policy.

Groups

Members of your groups can see your display name, your weekly time taken back, and any cheers and wins you share. Cheers are set reactions and phrases, not messages. A weekly receipt link that you share can be opened by anyone who has it. Days that look unverified are marked on leaderboards. Choose a display name that isn’t offensive or someone else’s name.

Fair use

Don’t misuse crocial: no harassing other members, no cheating the leaderboards, trying to break or overload the service, copying or reverse engineering the app, or using it for anything illegal. We may suspend accounts that break these terms, and we’ll tell you why unless the law stops us.

Changes to crocial and these terms

We may change or stop features. We’ll give notice in the app or by email before important changes to these terms take effect.

Our responsibility

We work hard to keep crocial running well, but we provide it as it is, to the extent the law allows. To the extent the law allows, we aren’t responsible for indirect losses, and our total responsibility to you is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection law where you live, such as South Africa’s Consumer Protection Act.

Law

These terms are governed by the law of South Africa, without taking away protections you have under the law where you live.
