Terms of Service: Stepluma
In short: Stepluma is a free step counter with an optional "scroll time" feature that pauses apps you choose until you walk. Its numbers are estimates and it is not medical advice. Scroll time is a self-help tool you control, not a guaranteed block. Walk safely, enjoy it, and write to us if something goes wrong. Nothing in these terms takes away the rights you have under consumer law where you live.
1. These terms
These terms apply when you download or use Stepluma (the "app"), made by Lanternbit Labs ("we", "us"). By using the app you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the app. How we handle information is explained in the Privacy Policy.
2. Who can use the app
The app is meant for people aged 13 and over. If you are under the age of adulthood where you live, please make sure a parent or guardian is happy with you using it and with these terms.
3. Your right to use the app
We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to install and use the app on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use. The app, its design, graphics and code belong to Lanternbit Labs. You may not copy, sell, rent or redistribute the app, or reverse-engineer it except where the law allows you to.
4. Steps, distance and calories are estimates
- Steps come from your phone's step sensor, which can miss steps or count other movement. Distance uses the step length in Settings, and calories are estimated from your steps, step length and the weight you enter.
- These numbers are for general fitness and motivation only. Stepluma is not a medical device and does not give medical advice. Talk to a doctor before starting a new exercise routine, especially if you have a health condition.
- Please walk safely: watch where you are going, not your phone, and follow local traffic rules. You are responsible for how and where you walk.
5. Scroll time
- Scroll time is optional. You choose the apps to pause, set the rules and can turn it off at any time. It is a tool to help you keep a commitment to yourself.
- It relies on Android permissions you grant (usage access and display over other apps) and on your phone's settings. Battery savers, phone makers' restrictions, Android updates or other apps can stop it from pausing an app every time, so we can't promise it always will.
- It is not designed as a parental-control or security tool, and it should not be relied on to block access to apps for anyone else.
- Limits on how often rules can be made easier, and emergency passes, are part of how the feature works. They are stored on your phone and reset if you clear the app's data.
6. Ads
The app is free and shows ads from Google AdMob only when you choose to watch one, to get an extra rule change for the day. If an ad can't be shown, or you don't watch it to the end, no extra change is given. Ads come from advertisers and are not made or endorsed by us; your dealings with an advertiser are between you and them. How ads use data is explained in the Privacy Policy.
7. Fair use
Please don't modify the app or its data, use tools to automate it or to get ad rewards without watching, or interfere with ads (including tapping ads on purpose to generate clicks). We may stop supporting your use of the app if you break these rules in a way that harms the app, advertisers or other people.
8. Google services
The app is distributed through Google Play and uses Google AdMob. Your use of those services is also covered by Google's own terms, including the Google Play Terms of Service and the Google Terms of Service.
9. Changes and availability
We update the app from time to time, which can add, change or remove features. We may stop offering the app at some point; if we do, we will try to give notice in the app or on this website. If we change these terms in a meaningful way, we will update this page and the date above, and where reasonable tell you in the app.
10. Our responsibility to you
We provide the app free of charge and "as is". We do our best to keep it working well, but we can't promise that it will always be available, free of bugs, or that step history can never be lost.
To the extent the law allows, we are not responsible for indirect or unexpected losses, for loss of data, or for problems caused by your device, its settings or third-party services. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes any liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law, or any rights you have as a consumer under the laws of the country where you live (including, if you live in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, your statutory rights).
11. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of India. If you live in another country, you also keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of that country, and you may bring a claim in the courts where you live. If you have a problem, please write to us first at the address below and we will try to sort it out.
