Terms of Service
1. Acceptance of Terms
By downloading, installing, or using HIT, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the App. These Terms are between you and ErikHash ("we", "us", "our"), the publisher of HIT. ErikHash is the business name under which Erik Hallowell operates.
2. Description of the Service
HIT tracks a single event and notifies users when IT has occurred, as determined by an authorized administrator of the App (see Section 8). The App is available on iOS and, optionally, its Home Screen / Lock Screen widget and Live Activity.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use HIT. The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly allow children under 13 to create an account. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you represent that a parent or guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.
4. Accounts and Sign in with Apple
You may browse basic parts of the App without an account. Notifications, subscription purchases, and any elevated permissions (see Section 8) require signing in with Sign in with Apple. You are responsible for maintaining the security of the Apple ID associated with your account. You may delete your account at any time from Settings > Delete Account within the App.
5. Subscriptions
HIT offers the following subscription tiers, billed through your Apple ID account via the App Store:
- Free — standard (non-critical) notifications when the event occurs, at no cost.
- 1 Month — $2.99, billed monthly.
- 3 Months — $5.99, billed every 3 months.
- 6 Months — $14.99, billed every 6 months.
- 1 Year — $24.99, billed annually.
- Lifetime — $49.99, one-time purchase, non-recurring.
Paid tiers unlock notifications that may use the Critical Alert interruption level (where Apple has granted us that capability and your device settings allow it), and haptic feedback accompanying those notifications. Where Critical Alerts are not available, paid subscribers instead receive Time-Sensitive notifications.
Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions (all tiers except Lifetime) automatically renew for the same duration and price unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple ID Account Settings, after purchase. Canceling stops future renewals but does not refund the current period.
The Lifetime purchase is a one-time, non-consumable purchase that unlocks the paid features described above for as long as we continue to operate the Service.
All refund requests are handled by Apple in accordance with Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, not by us. We do not have the ability to directly issue refunds or cancel your subscription on your behalf.
6. Ending of the Service Upon the Event Occurring
Once the tracked event has been marked as having occurred, we will immediately stop offering new subscription purchases, and, approximately 48 hours later, notify active subscribers with a reminder to cancel their subscription (since there is nothing further for the subscription to provide). We are not able to cancel your Apple subscription on your behalf — you must cancel it yourself through your Apple ID Account Settings to stop future billing, and we are not responsible for charges incurred if you do not do so.
7. Notifications
We do not guarantee the delivery, timing, accuracy, or ordering of any notification. Notifications can be delayed, dropped, or fail to arrive due to network conditions, device settings, operating system behavior, or factors outside our control, including Apple's notification infrastructure. We are not liable for any consequence of a missed, delayed, or duplicate notification.
8. Determination of the Event; Administrator Roles
Whether and when the tracked event has occurred is determined solely at our discretion, by us or by another individual we have authorized to make that determination ("Trigger" or "Admin" access) within the App. We make no representation about the accuracy, timeliness, or basis for that determination, and it is final. We may grant, modify, or revoke Trigger or Admin access to any user at any time without notice.
9. Notification Categories and Admin Broadcasts
You may opt in or out of specific notification categories from within the App. Administrators may send broadcast notifications to users subscribed to a given category. We are not responsible for the content of administrator broadcasts beyond our obligations under these Terms and applicable law.
10. Referral Program
We may allow you to share and redeem referral codes for promotional benefits. Any referral reward is granted entirely at our discretion, has no cash value, is not transferable, and the referral program may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time without notice or compensation.
11. Advertising
The App reserves space to display advertisements served by third-party advertising networks. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of third-party advertisers or ad networks. See our Privacy Policy and Your Privacy Choices for more information about advertising and your choices.
12. User Conduct
You agree not to: misuse or attempt to gain unauthorized access to Trigger or Admin functionality; interfere with or disrupt the App or its infrastructure; reverse engineer the App except as permitted by applicable law; or use the App for any unlawful purpose.
13. Intellectual Property
The App, including its design, text, graphics, and underlying code, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any right to use our branding except as necessary to use the App as intended.
14. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or for any other reason at our discretion. You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time.
15. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY NOTIFICATION WILL BE DELIVERED.
16. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, REVENUE, OR PROFITS, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APP, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE, OR $50, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
17. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the App.
18. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the App will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in California, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.
19. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time — see Updates for a running log of changes. If we make material changes, we will provide notice through the App or by other reasonable means. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
