Terms of Service - Trial Shield

Terms of Service

Effective Date: September 12, 2025

Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using the Trial Shield mobile application (the "App") operated by us ("we," "our," or "us").

By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to any part of the terms, you may not use the App.

1. Description of Service

Trial Shield is a subscription management and free trial tracking tool designed to help users organize their recurring expenses.

Important: Offline-First Architecture

Trial Shield operates primarily as an offline application. All data regarding your subscriptions, costs, and notes is stored locally on your device's internal storage. We do not store, back up, or sync your data to any cloud server.

  • You are solely responsible for maintaining backups of your data using the App’s "Export Data" feature.
  • We are not responsible for any data loss resulting from device loss, damage, app uninstallation, or clearing of app data.

2. Use of the App

You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.

  • You are responsible for ensuring the security of your device. We recommend enabling the Biometric Lock feature provided within the App to prevent unauthorized access to your financial data.
  • You must not attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any portion of the App.

3. Purchases and Payments

3.1. Premium Features

The App offers a "Premium" version (Trial Shield Pro) available for purchase. This is a one-time, lifetime purchase that unlocks features such as ad removal, biometric security.

3.2. Payment Processing

All financial transactions for the Premium version are handled directly by Google Play Billing. We do not process payments, store credit card details, or have access to your billing information.

3.3. Refunds

Refund requests are subject to the Google Play Store's refund policies. Since we do not manage the payment process, we cannot issue refunds directly. Users must request refunds through their Google Play account.

4. Advertisements

The free version of the App is supported by advertisements provided by Google AdMob.

  • By using the free version, you agree to the display of these advertisements.
  • Removing advertisements is possible by upgrading to the Premium version.

5. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

5.1. Not Financial Advice

The App is a tracking and organization tool. It does not provide financial advice, investment advice, or banking services.

5.2. Notification Reliability

The App uses system notifications (AlarmManager and WorkManager) to remind you of upcoming bills or expiring trials.

  • Battery Optimization: Some Android devices may aggressively optimize battery usage, which can delay or block notifications. We provide a guide in the App to help you prevent this, but we cannot guarantee that notifications will always be delivered on time.
  • No Liability for Charges: We are not liable for any financial losses, overdraft fees, or unwanted subscription charges you incur because a notification was missed, delayed, or ignored. You are ultimately responsible for managing your own subscriptions and cancellations with third-party service providers.

5.3. Accuracy of Data

The subscription prices and billing dates shown in the App are based on the data you manually enter or the default data provided for convenience. Service providers (e.g., Netflix, Spotify) may change their prices at any time. We are not responsible for discrepancies between the costs shown in the App and your actual bank statement.

6. Intellectual Property

The App and its original content (excluding user-generated data), features, and functionality are and will remain the exclusive property of the developer. The App is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.

7. Third-Party Links

The App may contain links to third-party websites or services (e.g., in the "Popular Services" list or via advertisements) that are not owned or controlled by us. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services.

8. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material, we will try to provide at least 30 days' notice prior to any new terms taking effect. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion.

By continuing to access or use our App after those revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms.
