These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the LOKT browser extension, associated dashboard, website, and any related services (collectively, the "Service") provided by LOKT ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). The Service is designed to help users monitor and voluntarily limit time spent on websites they personally deem distracting or destructive (including, at your option, social media and adult content sites), providing personalized insights, optional blocking features, streaks, dopamine scores, and accountability tools.
By installing the Extension, creating an account, accessing the dashboard, or otherwise using the Service in any manner, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must immediately uninstall the Extension and cease all use of the Service. These Terms constitute a legally binding contract between you and the Company.
1. Eligibility and Account Registration
You represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher) and are fully able and competent to enter into these Terms. The Service is not intended for users under 18. If you are under 18, you may not use the Service.
To use certain features (including personalized insights and blocking), you must create an account using a valid email address. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep it updated. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. We may implement two-factor authentication ("2FA") and other security measures; you consent to receiving 2FA codes and account verification emails at the email address you provide.
2. License and Permitted Use
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the Extension and access the Service solely for your personal, non-commercial use. You may not:
- Copy, modify, reverse-engineer, decompile, or create derivative works of the Service;
- Use the Service for any illegal, harmful, or unauthorized purpose;
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or other users' accounts;
- Remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or proprietary notices;
- Use the Service in a manner that interferes with or burdens our infrastructure.
All rights not expressly granted are reserved by the Company.
3. Service Description and User Responsibilities
The Service tracks only the frequency and duration on websites you explicitly choose to flag. It does not read page content, capture full browsing history, keystrokes, passwords, device identifiers (beyond standard HTTPS), IP addresses for tracking purposes, or location data. All data is used solely to deliver the insights, reports, streaks, and optional blocking features you activate.
You are solely responsible for:
- Choosing which sites to track or block;
- Deciding whether to enable blocking or accountability features;
- Your own online habits and any decisions based on the Service's insights. The Service is a tool to support healthier habits but does not guarantee results, prevent access to sites, or replace professional advice.
4. Payments and Subscriptions
Certain features require a premium subscription. All payments are processed exclusively by Stripe; we do not store or see your payment details. Subscriptions automatically renew at the stated rate until canceled. You may cancel at any time via the dashboard, but no refunds will be issued for partial periods unless required by applicable law. Prices are subject to change with notice. Taxes may apply.
5. Email Communications
By creating an account, you consent to receive emails from us at the address you provide. These include:
- Transactional and service-related emails (e.g., 2FA codes, account verification, password resets, responses to support tickets you file); and
- Promotional emails and newsletters about the Service, new features, tips, or offers (enabled by default).
You may opt out of promotional emails and newsletters at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any such email or through your dashboard settings. Opting out of promotional emails will not affect your receipt of essential transactional or support emails, which are required for the Service to function securely and cannot be opted out of. You represent that the email address you provide is one to which you are authorized to receive such communications.
6. Privacy and Data Practices
Your privacy is important to us. Our collection, use, storage, and sharing of information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Service, you consent to the data practices described therein, including the limited collection of browsing frequency, duration, timestamps on flagged sites solely for your personal dashboard and chosen features.
We use sub-processors (Railway for hosting, Stripe for payments, Resend for transactional emails, Google for optional OAuth) bound by appropriate data-processing agreements. You may delete your data or account at any time via the dashboard. Uninstalling the Extension immediately clears all local data.
7. Intellectual Property
The Service, including all code, designs, logos, insights algorithms, and content, is owned by or licensed to the Company and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You acquire no ownership rights by using the Service. Feedback you provide may be used by us without compensation or attribution.
8. Prohibited Conduct
You agree not to:
- Use the Service to circumvent laws or third-party terms of service;
- Upload or transmit harmful code, viruses, or material that violates any law;
- Engage in any conduct that could damage, disable, or impair the Service;
- Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with us.
Violation may result in immediate termination of your access and reporting to authorities where appropriate.
9. Disclaimers
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without any warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements, be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that it will effectively limit your browsing time or improve your habits. Any insights or blocking features are for informational and voluntary use only. You use the Service at your own risk.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages (including loss of profits, data, goodwill, or habit improvement) arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service, even if advised of the possibility. Our total aggregate liability shall not exceed the amount you paid to us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim (or $100 if no payment was made). These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (i) your use or misuse of the Service; (ii) your violation of these Terms or any third-party rights; or (iii) any content or data you provide.
12. Termination
We may terminate or suspend your account and access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including violation of these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately, but provisions that by their nature survive (e.g., disclaimers, liability limits, indemnification) remain in effect. You may terminate by uninstalling the Extension and deleting your account; however, prior payments are non-refundable.
13. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be notified via the Extension, dashboard, or email. Continued use after the updated Effective Date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service and uninstall the Extension.
14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, without regard to conflict of laws principles. Any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved exclusively in the courts located in Toronto, Ontario. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and waive any objection to venue or inconvenient forum.
To the extent permitted by law, you waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against the Company.
15. Miscellaneous
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us and supersede all prior understandings. If any provision is held invalid, the remainder remains in full force. Our failure to enforce any right does not waive it. We may assign these Terms without notice; you may not. No agency, partnership, or joint venture is created.
If you have questions, contact us at lokt.support@gmail.com. For residents of California, the EU/EEA, the UK, Canada, or other jurisdictions with applicable data rights, additional rights are addressed in our Privacy Policy.
By installing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read these Terms, understand them, and agree to be bound by them.
