THE FINE PRINT

Terms of Use

Effective July 19, 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Trainlike Studios Inc., a British Columbia company, and govern your use of the Dealbreaker iPhone app and website. By downloading, purchasing, or using Dealbreaker, you agree to these terms and the Privacy Policy.

Eligibility

You must be legally capable of entering into this agreement. If you have not reached the age of majority where you live, you may use Dealbreaker only with permission from a parent or legal guardian who accepts these terms.

The service

Dealbreaker uses Apple's Screen Time tools to put a blocking wall in front of apps you select. It also tracks time and spending information you report, including time estimates banked toward a goal and amounts placed on your tab.

Your license

Trainlike Studios gives you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use Dealbreaker on Apple devices you own or control, subject to these terms and Apple's applicable App Store rules. You may not copy, modify, sell, rent, distribute, reverse engineer, interfere with, or misuse Dealbreaker except where applicable law expressly permits it.

Subscription

Dealbreaker Pro is an auto-renewing annual subscription, billed through your Apple ID at the price shown in the App Store for your region and renewing automatically unless you cancel. The price and billing terms shown in the App Store at the time of purchase always control. Taxes may apply.

You can cancel at any time in your App Store subscription settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep access until then. Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription. Refund requests are handled through Apple's standard refund process and are subject to Apple's rules.

Apple may permit subscription price changes subject to its notice and consent requirements. If you do not accept a required price change, your subscription may end at the close of its current term.

The honor system

Time shown as banked and amounts shown on your tab are estimates based on information you enter. Dealbreaker does not measure your device usage, and it does not hold, transfer, withdraw, or move real money. You decide whether and when to move funds or clear the tab. Dealbreaker is not a bank, money service, financial adviser, or substitute for professional financial advice.

What the wall is

The wall is a personal commitment device. It is not parental control, access control, or a security product. You can bypass it. That is part of the design: the choice remains yours.

Trainlike Studios does not promise that every app will be blocked at every moment. Screen Time behavior can depend on your device, permissions, settings, operating-system version, and Apple's services. You are responsible for maintaining a compatible device and the settings and permissions Dealbreaker needs.

Dealbreaker is also not a dating, matchmaking, counseling, or mental-health service, and it makes no promises about your relationships, habits, or wellbeing.

Your data and iCloud

You are responsible for the information you enter and for managing your device and iCloud account. Dealbreaker may store a small backup in your iCloud key-value storage. Availability, restoration, synchronization, and deletion of that backup depend partly on Apple and your settings. Trainlike Studios cannot access or restore the contents of your iCloud backup for you. See the Privacy Policy for details.

Acceptable use

You may use Dealbreaker only for personal and lawful purposes. Do not interfere with the service, attempt to gain unauthorized access, use it to harm another person, introduce malicious code, or violate Trainlike Studios' or another party's rights.

Ownership

Dealbreaker, its website, software, visual design, text, and other materials are owned by Trainlike Studios or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. These terms grant a right to use Dealbreaker, not ownership of it. Information you enter remains yours.

Third-party services

Dealbreaker relies on services provided by Apple, Mixpanel, Sentry, RevenueCat, and infrastructure providers. Their services and terms may also apply. Trainlike Studios is not responsible for third-party services outside its control.

Suspension and termination

You may stop using Dealbreaker at any time. Trainlike Studios may suspend or terminate access if you materially violate these terms, misuse the service, create legal or security risk, or if the service is discontinued. Sections that by their nature should continue—including ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, and governing law—survive termination.

Changes and availability

Trainlike Studios may change, suspend, or discontinue features as Dealbreaker develops. It may also update these terms. Updated terms will be posted here with a new effective date. If a material change affects your rights, Trainlike Studios will provide reasonable notice through the app or another appropriate method. Continuing to use Dealbreaker after the updated terms take effect means you accept them, except where the law requires a different form of consent.

No warranties

Dealbreaker is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the extent permitted by law, Trainlike Studios disclaims warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. Nothing in these terms excludes warranties or consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, Trainlike Studios and its directors, officers, employees, and contractors will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost money, data, opportunities, or profits arising from Dealbreaker.

To the extent permitted by law, Trainlike Studios' total liability for all claims relating to Dealbreaker will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid for Dealbreaker in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim and CAD $100. These limits do not apply where liability cannot legally be limited.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to any consumer rights that require otherwise, the courts of British Columbia have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes relating to these terms or Dealbreaker.

General terms

If a provision of these terms is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. Trainlike Studios' failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not transfer this agreement without Trainlike Studios' consent. Trainlike Studios may transfer it as part of a merger, financing, reorganization, or sale of the service or business. These terms, the Privacy Policy, and the applicable App Store terms form the entire agreement about your use of Dealbreaker.

Affiliation

Dealbreaker is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Tinder, Hinge, Bumble, OkCupid, Grindr, Coffee Meets Bagel, Match, Plenty of Fish, Match Group, or any dating service. Their names appear only to refer to them.
