Terms & Conditions

Last updated: September 19, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the SnoozeWar mobile app (the "App"), currently available on Google Play (an iOS version is in development), and the websites snoozewar.com and snoozewar.app (together, the "Service"). The Service is operated by Himanshu Lal, an individual (sole proprietor) based in India, trading as SnoozeWar ("we," "us," or "our").

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not download, install, or use the Service.

2. Description of Service

SnoozeWar helps you wake up at the time you choose and get to bed on time. It is a behavioural tool, not a medical device.

The Service includes, among other things:

Alarms that you turn off by completing a mission, such as Photo, Walk, Speak or Type, Tiles, Sequence, Math, Shake, or Tap, with a simple backup mission always available.
Reliability options such as snooze limits, Resist volume down, Resist escape, Prevent uninstall, and Watchdog, which rings again if you fall back asleep.
Bedtime with Reminder, Nudge, and Full enforcement levels, including blocking the apps you choose until your alarm.
Reminders that notify you or ring until you mark them done.
Tracking of your sleep, wake-ups, screen time, and the apps you use in your sleep window, plus a daily consistency history and streaks.
The Dare voice: the messages the App shows you, based on how your nights and mornings went.

Features may change over time (Section 15).

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or 16 in the European Economic Area) to use the Service.
If you are under 18 (or the age of majority where you live), you must have the consent of a parent or legal guardian.
By using the Service, you confirm that you meet these requirements.

4. Your Account

You need an account to use the App. You can sign in with your phone number or your Google account.
You are responsible for keeping access to your account secure and for activity that happens under it.
Please give accurate information, and tell us straight away at support@snoozewar.com if you think someone else has accessed your account.

5. Free and Premium

5.1 Free

SnoozeWar has two tiers: Free and Premium. There is no trial period.

The Free tier is free to use for as long as you want. It includes alarms and their reliability features, most missions, bedtime reminders, reminders, streaks, last night's sleep, and wake-up and screen-time tracking with full history. We do not currently show advertisements; the Free tier may show advertisements in the future.

5.2 Premium Subscriptions

Premium adds features such as additional missions, Resist escape, Prevent uninstall, Watchdog, app blocking at bedtime, and deeper sleep insights including sleep history. The App shows exactly what Premium includes before you buy. Premium is available as:

Monthly subscription: billed every month. Renews automatically until cancelled.
Quarterly subscription: billed every three months. Renews automatically until cancelled.
Annual subscription: billed every year. Renews automatically until cancelled.

Prices are shown in your local currency in the App before you buy and can differ by country. We may offer promotional pricing, such as a discount on the first billing period. A discounted price applies only to the period stated in the offer; after that, the subscription renews at the regular price shown in the App.

5.3 Auto-Renewal

Subscriptions renew automatically unless you turn off auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. You will be charged for the renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.

5.4 Managing and Cancelling

You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time:

Android: Google Play Store, then Menu, then Subscriptions, then SnoozeWar.
iOS (when available): Settings, then your name, then Subscriptions, then SnoozeWar.

Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep Premium until then. Deleting the App or your account does not cancel a subscription; cancel it in the store.

5.5 How Purchases Are Processed

All purchases are processed by Google Play (or Apple on iOS) and are also subject to their terms and refund policies. We never receive your card details.

5.6 Refunds

7-day refund. If you ask us within 7 days of a purchase, we will approve a refund. You do not need to give a reason.

To request one, contact us from Help in the App, or email support@snoozewar.com, and include the email address or phone number on your account.

Because purchases are processed by Google or Apple, refunds are issued through the store you bought from. We approve the request; the store and your bank decide how long the money takes to reach you, usually a few days.

After 7 days, refunds are at the store's discretion. You can ask the store directly:

Google: Google Play — Request a Refund
Apple: Apple Support — Request a Refund

This 7-day promise is in addition to any rights you have under the law where you live, and does not replace them.

5.7 Price Changes

We may change subscription prices. We will tell you in advance, and a new price takes effect from the next billing period after the notice, subject to the store's rules on your consent.

6. Alarm Reliability and Safety

We work hard to make alarms, reminders, and bedtime features dependable, but they rely on things we do not control, including your phone's settings, the permissions you grant, battery-saving features added by your phone's manufacturer, operating system updates, volume and Do Not Disturb settings, and whether your phone is switched on and charged.

Set up your phone. Grant the permissions the App asks for and follow its setup checklist. Some features will not work without them.
Test your alarm before you rely on it, especially after changing phones or updating Android.
Do not rely on SnoozeWar alone where missing a wake-up or reminder could cause harm or serious loss, such as taking medication, travel, exams, or work where safety matters. Use a backup.
Move carefully. Some missions ask you to walk or take a photo. Make sure you are awake enough to move safely, and never complete a mission while driving or in an unsafe place.
Prevent uninstall is your choice. If you turn it on, Android will not uninstall the App until you turn it off, in the App or in Android settings under Security, Device admin apps. It uses Android's device admin feature with no powers: it cannot lock or erase your phone. You can always turn it off, and the App turns it off by itself when no active alarm or bedtime uses it, when your Premium ends, or when you sign out.
Bedtime blocking is your choice. It only covers the apps you pick and can be turned off in the App. It does not block phone calls or emergency calls.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, or try to extract its source code, except where the law allows it.
Copy, modify, or create derivative works from the Service.
Interfere with the Service's security, servers, or subscription checks.
Create multiple accounts to abuse promotional offers or discounted pricing.
Use bots, scripts, or other automated tools with the Service.
Impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone.
Use the Service for anything illegal, harmful, or unauthorised.

8. Health and Medical Disclaimer

SnoozeWar is a behavioural tool. It is not a medical device, a diagnostic tool, or a substitute for professional medical advice.

Sleep times, sleep durations, sleep debt, and your rhythm estimate are approximate estimates made from your phone's signals. They are not clinical measurements.
Consistency scores and streaks measure habits, not health.
The Dare voice offers encouragement and accountability, not medical advice.
SnoozeWar does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition.
If you have, or think you may have, a sleep disorder (such as insomnia, sleep apnoea, delayed sleep phase disorder, narcolepsy, or restless legs syndrome), or you take medication that affects sleep, talk to a qualified healthcare professional before changing your sleep schedule.
If you have persistent trouble sleeping or excessive daytime sleepiness, seek medical advice.

9. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, code, text, graphics, sounds, and the look and feel of the App, is owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual property laws.
"SnoozeWar," the SnoozeWar logo, and "Dare Engine" are our trademarks.
We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App for your own non-commercial use, in line with these Terms.

10. Your Feedback

If you send us feedback, ideas, or suggestions, you allow us to use them to improve the Service without any obligation to you. Please do not send anything that is illegal, abusive, or that you do not have the right to share.

11. Third-Party Services

The Service works with third-party services such as Google Play, Google sign-in, Health Connect, and your phone's speech recognition. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for them.

12. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not promise that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, that every alarm or reminder will go off, or that sleep estimates, scores, or messages will be accurate. Nothing in these Terms limits warranties or rights that cannot be excluded under the law where you live.

13. 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 FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OPPORTUNITIES, OR GOODWILL, INCLUDING LOSSES CAUSED BY A MISSED OR LATE ALARM OR REMINDER, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($100).

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

14. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the Service or your breach of these Terms.

15. Changes to the Service

We may add, change, or remove features, or suspend or discontinue the Service. If we remove a Premium feature in a way that materially reduces what you paid for, we will tell you in advance and you can cancel your subscription.

16. Termination

By you: you can stop using the Service at any time. You can delete your account and its data in the App (open your Profile, then Delete account), at snoozewar.com/delete-account, or by emailing support@snoozewar.com. Remember to cancel any subscription in the store. If Prevent uninstall is on, turn it off before you uninstall the App (Section 6).
By us: we may suspend or end your access if you seriously or repeatedly break these Terms, or where the law requires it. Where reasonable, we will tell you first.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including Sections 8, 9, and 12 to 14, will continue to apply.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and tell you in the App. For significant changes that affect your rights, we will give at least 30 days' notice before they take effect. If you keep using the Service after the changes take effect, you accept the updated Terms.

18. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Nothing in this section removes consumer-protection rights you have under the laws of the country where you live.

If a dispute arises, please contact us first so we can try to resolve it in good faith. If that does not work, disputes will be resolved by binding arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (India), seated in India and conducted in English, except where the law does not allow this, in which case you may bring a claim in the courts of the country where you live.

To the extent permitted by law, disputes will be handled individually and not as a class or representative action.

19. General

Severability: if any part of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.
Entire agreement: these Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service.
No waiver: if we do not enforce a right straight away, we have not given it up.
