Terms of Service

Last updated: 15 September 2026 · Version 2026-09-15.1

Welcome to Lock In. These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Type-3 Studio ("we", "us", "our") governing your use of the Lock In application (the "Service"), including any web, Android, or iOS versions. Please read them carefully before using the Service.

1. Acceptance of these Terms

By installing, accessing, or using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

2. The Service

The Service is a local-first planning tool: you set a goal, lock a deadline, and break the work down into tasks across a weekly plan. It runs primarily in your web browser and may be installed as a Progressive Web App for offline use. It stores its data locally using browser storage. We may add, change, or remove features at any time.

3. No professional advice

The Service is a personal productivity tool for organising your own goals and time. It does not provide, and must not be relied upon as, professional, legal, financial, medical, or psychological advice. You are solely responsible for the goals you choose to pursue and for the decisions you make in connection with them. The Service is not an emergency, monitoring, or alerting service.

4. Your data and your responsibility

All content you create — goals, deadlines, tasks, notes, and list items — is stored solely on your device. We neither host nor back it up. You are responsible for maintaining your own backups (for example, by using the Export feature) and for understanding that certain actions are irreversible:

• Locking a goal sets a deadline that cannot be changed.
• Terminal goal statuses (completed, failed, abandoned) are permanent; mistakes are corrected by creating a new goal.
• Importing a file replaces all current data. The Service attempts to save an automatic backup first, but this backup also lives only on your device.
• The history log is append-only and cannot be edited or deleted through the interface.

5. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service, or, if you are between 13 and 18, use it only under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf. The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

6. Your responsibilities

• Keep your own backups of any data you care about.
• Do not use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms or applicable law.
• Do not misuse, disrupt, interfere with, reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service.
• Ensure your device and browser are appropriately maintained, updated, and secure.

7. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, artwork, text, and branding, is owned by or licensed to Type-3 Studio and is protected by intellectual-property laws (including copyright, trademark, and related rights). You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. Third-party assets (including fonts and libraries) remain subject to their own licences. You retain ownership of the content you create.

If you provide us with feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Service, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use them for any purpose without obligation or compensation to you.

8. Third-party services

The Service is delivered to your browser by a third-party hosting/CDN provider, which may process standard server logs as described in our Privacy Policy. Apart from that, the Service makes no network requests and does not integrate analytics, advertising, or social-media services.

9. Availability, changes, and force majeure

We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, including features that rely on third-party services. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or available on every device or in every location.

We will not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations to the extent caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to network or power failures, third-party service outages, acts of government or authorities, natural disasters, or other force majeure events.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements, that it will preserve your data, or that it will produce any particular outcome.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Type-3 Studio and its owners, employees, agents, and contractors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the Service. This includes, without limitation, any loss of goals, tasks, notes, or history stored on your device. Where liability cannot be excluded, our total aggregate liability shall not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us (if any) in the twelve months before the claim, or USD 50. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable mandatory law.

12. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Type-3 Studio and its owners, employees, agents, and contractors from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and the version number above. Your continued use after any change constitutes agreement to the revised Terms.

14. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you breach these Terms or if we discontinue the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification — will survive.

15. Dispute resolution and class action waiver

Before bringing any formal claim, you agree to contact us first and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and Type-3 Studio agree that each may bring claims only on an individual basis, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, or representative action, and each party waives any right to a trial by jury in connection with these Terms.

16. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable at Type-3 Studio's principal place of business, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, and without limiting any mandatory consumer protections available to you in your country of residence. Courts in that jurisdiction shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction, except where mandatory local law (including mandatory rules in your country of residence) provides otherwise. This clause does not deprive you of any mandatory rights you hold under the law of the country in which you are domiciled.

17. General provisions

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions remain in full force. Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service. No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later. Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under them; we may assign them without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
