Terms of Service

Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using Calm Screen (the "App") operated by Enda Glacken ("I", "me", or "my"), an individual based in Ireland.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.

2. Description of Service

Calm Screen provides research-informed stimulation ratings for children's television shows. The App includes stimulation scores, detailed breakdowns across five dimensions, wind-down tips, personalised watchlists, child profiles, and show recommendations. All content is stored locally on your device and the App functions fully offline.

3. No Professional Advice

The information provided in the App is for informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute medical advice, professional parenting guidance, child psychology counsel, or any other form of professional recommendation.

Stimulation scores are based on published research and editorial analysis of show characteristics including pacing, visual intensity, audio stimulation, narrative intensity, and engagement hooks. They represent general assessments and do not account for individual children's sensitivities, developmental conditions, or specific needs.

You should consult qualified professionals (paediatricians, child psychologists, or other healthcare providers) for advice specific to your child's needs.

4. Intended Use

The App is intended to be used by parents, caregivers, and guardians to make informed decisions about their children's screen time. The App is not intended to be used directly by children.

5. Licence

Subject to these Terms, I grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes on devices that you own or control, in accordance with the App Store Terms of Service.

6. Intellectual Property

All content in the App, including but not limited to text, stimulation scores, ratings methodology, show descriptions, wind-down tips, graphics, illustrations, icons, and design, is owned by Enda Glacken and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws including copyright.

Show titles, logos, and associated imagery belong to their respective copyright holders and are used for identification and informational purposes only.

You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, or commercially exploit any original content from the App without prior written consent.

7. Permitted Use

You agree to use the App only for its intended purpose. You may not:

• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App
• Attempt to extract source code or data from the App
• Use the App's content to build a competing product or service
• Redistribute, sublicence, or resell the App or its content
• Remove or alter any proprietary notices or labels

8. Accuracy of Information

While I strive to provide accurate and well-researched information, I make no representations or warranties about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, or suitability of the content for any particular purpose. Stimulation scores, show descriptions, and recommendations are based on research and editorial analysis that may not reflect every child's individual experience.

Children's television content changes over time. New episodes or seasons of a show may differ from the content assessed at the time of rating. Ratings reflect the show's general characteristics at the time of assessment.

9. User-Submitted Content

The App allows you to suggest shows for rating. By submitting a suggestion, you grant me a non-exclusive, royalty-free right to use the information provided (show name and details) for the purpose of evaluating and potentially adding the show to the App. No personal information is required to submit a suggestion.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, I shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to any decisions made regarding your child's screen time based on the App's ratings, arising out of or related to your use of the App.

The App is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under Irish or EU law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Enda Glacken from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the App or your breach of these Terms.

12. Availability

Since the App operates fully offline, it is available at all times once installed. I do not guarantee uninterrupted availability of the App Store for downloads, as this is managed by Apple.

13. Updates

I may release updates to the App from time to time, which may include new show ratings, feature improvements, bug fixes, or security updates. Updates are distributed through the App Store and may require a compatible device and operating system version.

14. Termination

You may terminate these Terms at any time by deleting the App from your device. I reserve the right to discontinue the App at any time without prior notice, though I will endeavour to provide reasonable notice where possible.

15. Changes to These Terms

I reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. I encourage you to review these Terms periodically.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

17. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and me regarding the use of the App and supersede any prior agreements.

18. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ireland, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the App shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ireland.

If you are a consumer in the European Union, you also enjoy the protection of the mandatory provisions of consumer protection law in your country of residence. Nothing in these Terms affects your rights as a consumer under EU law.
