Terms of use

This is a translation of the Spanish terms of use. If the two versions differ, the Spanish version prevails.

1. Who we are and what you accept

KRot is a service of Lancelot-Project (“we”). You can contact us at soporte@lancelot-project.com.

By creating an account or using KRot you accept these terms and our privacy policy. If you don’t agree, don’t use the app.

2. Who can use KRot

You must be at least 16. If you are a minor, you also need your parent’s or guardian’s permission to buy the league pass. You need a compatible iPhone and must accept Apple’s Screen Time permission. The app is currently available in Spanish only.

3. Your account

You sign in with Apple or Google. You are responsible for what is done from your account and for making sure the name you choose for the league doesn’t impersonate anyone and isn’t offensive. You can delete your account at any time from the Profile tab (here’s how).

4. How the league works

• Standings. Whoever spends the least phone time over the week, not counting their essentials, wins. The times the league sees are rounded down to 5-minute steps (15-minute steps after a certain hour of the day), because that’s how iOS reports them.
• The limit and the lock. The group sets a daily limit. When you reach it, KRot asks iOS to lock the phone; calls and your essentials, up to five apps you choose, keep working. Everything unlocks when the league’s next day starts, at 05:00 unless the person who created the league picks another time between 00:00 and 08:00.
• Asking for time. You can ask your league for minutes. If someone gives them to you, your limit for that day goes up and you take a penalty in the standings of one third of what you asked for.
• The group agreement. The limit and the punishment are changed by vote and take effect the following Monday.
• No data. If someone removes the permission or stops sending data, the league can vote on whether they stay.

Screen Time data is provided by iOS and may have delays, jumps or errors that are outside our control. We don’t guarantee that measured time, locking or unlocking will be exact or immediate in every case, and the standings have no value outside the game.

5. The punishment and fair play

Each group writes and decides the loser’s punishment. KRot only displays it: it doesn’t organise it, control it or take responsibility for it. By writing or voting for one, you agree that it:

• is legal, doesn’t put anyone’s health or safety at risk and doesn’t force anyone to spend more money than they can or want to;
• doesn’t humiliate, harass or discriminate against anyone, or involve sexual or violent content;
• doesn’t involve minors consuming alcohol, tobacco or other substances.

Nobody is obliged to carry out a punishment. You also may not use KRot to harass, threaten or pressure other people, or post illegal or offensive content or third parties’ personal data in the feed, in pleas, in the league name or in the punishment. We may remove such content and suspend accounts that break these terms. If you see something like this, write to soporte@lancelot-project.com.

6. KRot is not a health service

KRot is a game. It is not a medical device, a treatment or a parental-control or digital-wellbeing tool, and it is no substitute for professional help. Don’t use KRot in a way that stops you from reaching something you need. Remember that you can always make phone calls even when your phone is locked, and that you can choose as essentials the apps you can’t afford to lose.

7. The league pass

• Without a pass, the league is frozen: you can see your own time, but there are no standings, locking, pleas or feed.
• The league pass is an auto-renewing subscription bought through Apple (App Store). One person pays and it unlocks the league for all its members while it’s active.
• The price and period are shown before purchase. When offered, the free trial lasts 7 days; if you don’t cancel at least 24 hours before it ends, the first period is charged.
• The subscription renews automatically until you cancel it in Settings › your name › Subscriptions, at least 24 hours before renewal. It can’t be cancelled from the app.
• If the person paying cancels or leaves the league, the league keeps the pass until the end of the paid period. After that, any member can pay for it.
• Charges and refunds are handled by Apple under its own terms (reportaproblem.apple.com). Consumers in the EU have a right of withdrawal under applicable law; by starting to use the digital subscription you agree that the service begins immediately.
• We may change the price of future periods. Apple will notify you and ask for your consent where the law requires it.

8. Intellectual property

The app, its design, the character K and its illustrations, and the texts belong to us or are used under licence. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable permission to use KRot under these terms. What users write (league names, punishments, messages) remains theirs; they authorise us to show it to the members of their league in order to provide the service.

9. Availability and changes

We do our best to keep KRot working at all times, but there may be interruptions, errors or changes in features that depend on Apple, Google or other providers. We may modify or stop offering features. If we make an important change to these terms, we’ll let you know in the app before it applies.

10. Liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect damages or for damages arising from the punishments groups agree on, from other users’ conduct or from failures of iOS, the App Store or third parties. Nothing above limits the rights consumer law gives you, or our liability where the law doesn’t allow it to be limited, such as in cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence.

11. Apple

These terms are between you and us, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for KRot or its content, has no obligation to maintain or support it and is not liable for claims relating to the app. Anything not covered here is governed by Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (EULA). Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by Spanish law. If you are a consumer, you may go to the courts where you live and you keep the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where you reside.
