Terms of Service
Last updated 19 August 2026
Draft — pending legal review
Lockout is still in development and this document is a working draft, not a finalised agreement. It is published so the structure is visible, and it will be replaced with a reviewed version before Lockout is released. Nothing here should be relied on as a commitment.
These draft terms describe the basis on which Lockout will be offered. Lockout is not yet available, so nothing on this page is currently in force.
Who these terms are between
The legal entity that will provide Lockout has not been recorded here. The final version of this document will name that entity, its registered address and its company number. We are not going to invent one in a draft.
The service
Lockout is an iPhone app that restricts access to apps you select until you complete a challenge, which it is designed to verify using your device camera. Features described on this website reflect how the product is being designed and may change before release.
Health and safety
Lockout asks you to perform physical exercise. This matters more than the usual boilerplate:
- Lockout is not a fitness, medical or coaching service, and nothing in it is medical advice.
- You are responsible for deciding whether an exercise is safe for you, and for stopping if it is not.
- If you have any condition, injury or doubt about exercising, speak to a qualified medical professional before using challenge-based unlocking.
- Never perform a challenge somewhere unsafe, or while doing anything else that needs your attention.
You choose your own challenges and rep counts. Choose ones you can complete safely.
Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Attempt to circumvent, disable or tamper with Lockout's verification in order to defeat locks you set for yourself
- Reverse engineer, resell or redistribute Lockout except where the law allows it
- Use Lockout to restrict another person's device or access without their knowledge and consent
- Use the app in any way that breaks applicable law
Not a guarantee of blocking
Lockout adds friction; it does not claim to make an app impossible to reach. Operating system behaviour, device settings and other software can all affect how reliably locks apply. Lockout should not be relied on as a safeguarding or parental-control measure.
Privacy
Camera and pose data is sensitive, and our handling of it is still being finalised. See the privacy policy, which sets out what is settled and what is not.
Availability and changes
Lockout is in development. We may change, suspend or withdraw features, and there is no commitment to a release date or to any particular feature described on this site.
Price and payment
Pricing has not been decided. If Lockout is offered as a paid app or subscription, the final terms will set out charges, renewal, cancellation and refunds, alongside the App Store rules that apply to purchases.
Intellectual property
The Lockout name, logo, app and this website belong to their owner. Nothing on this site transfers any rights in them.
Disclaimers and liability
The final version of these terms will include warranty disclaimers and a limitation of liability. Because their enforceability depends on the contracting entity and governing law — neither of which is settled — they are deliberately not drafted here.
Governing law
To be confirmed alongside the contracting entity.
Changes to these terms
This draft will be replaced in full before release. The date at the top of the page reflects the current revision.
Contact
There is no published contact address yet. See the contact page, which will carry one once it exists.
