Effective Date: January 1, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using Zonely (the "App"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you don't agree, please don't use the App.

2. Who Can Use Zonely

Zonely is intended solely for users who are 18 years of age or older. By using the App, you represent that you are at least 18. Due to the nature of Situational Escapes and Personal Safety tools designed for adult social contexts, the App is strictly not permitted for use by minors.

3. What Zonely Does

Zonely automates your phone's behavior - Do Not Disturb, ringer volume, and related settings - based on your physical location, using Android's Fused Location, Geofencing, Wi-Fi, and cellular signal APIs. Additional features (detailed below) extend this into departure reminders, social utilities, and personal safety tools. Full functionality depends on the Android permissions you grant - see our Privacy Policy for exactly what each permission is used for.

4. Subscription & Billing (Zonely Pro)

• Core automation features (Smart Geofencing, Departure Checklist, Stove & Lock Check, Radio Killswitch, Auto Anchor Learner) are free, permanently.
• Pro features (Situational Escapes, Night & Personal Safety tools, Predictive Pre-Arm) require a Zonely Pro subscription. Current pricing, trial lengths, and billing cycles are displayed clearly within the Google Play purchase flow prior to subscribing.
• Subscriptions are billed and managed through Google Play. Auto-renewal, cancellation, and refunds are governed by Google Play's subscription policies - we don't process payments or refunds directly.
• We'll provide reasonable notice before any price change takes effect for existing subscribers, as required by Google Play policy.

5. Permissions & Device Requirements

Some features require permissions beyond basic location access - Notifications, Phone State, Contacts, Bluetooth, and (for a small number of advanced features) elevated system-level access such as Device Administrator privileges. We request each of these only at the point a specific feature needs it, and each is explained in-app before you're asked to grant it. You can review and revoke any permission at any time through Android's Settings, though doing so may disable the corresponding feature.

6. Feature-Specific Terms

• Automation accuracy. Zonely's location detection relies on Wi-Fi, cellular signal, and GPS, in that order, to balance accuracy and battery life. Detection timing and accuracy can be affected by your device, your carrier, indoor environments, and manufacturer-specific battery optimization settings. We provide guidance for common devices, but can't guarantee identical performance across all Android hardware.
• Situational Escapes. Features like Fake Battery and Fake Shutdown are provided for your personal, lawful use in managing your own social situations. You're responsible for how and when you use them.
• Safety-related features - important. Wrong Direction Alert and Regret Shield are designed to add a helpful layer of awareness during a commute or a night out. They are not personal safety devices, emergency alert systems, or substitutes for calling local emergency services. Detection can be delayed, inaccurate, or fail entirely - due to GPS/network conditions, permission changes, battery optimization, or device-specific behavior. Do not rely on these features as your sole safety measure in any situation involving genuine risk to your wellbeing.
• VIP Breakthrough operates entirely on your device using standard phone-state APIs to identify incoming callers against a list you configure. We don't guarantee it will catch every call under every device condition, particularly if the relevant permission is later revoked.
• SMS features are designed to require your manual confirmation before any message is sent, by design and by Android policy. Zonely is not responsible for the content, delivery, or consequences of messages you choose to send.
• Advanced/experimental features. A small number of features may request elevated system permissions (such as Device Administrator access) to function. These features are more sensitive to device-specific and manufacturer-specific behavior than the rest of the App. We recommend reviewing in-app guidance carefully before enabling any feature in this category, and we provide a documented recovery path if a feature doesn't behave as expected.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use Zonely to harass, deceive for harmful purposes, or violate the privacy or safety of others - including using Situational Escapes or similar features in ways intended to cause genuine harm rather than manage your own social situations.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

Zonely is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We build every feature with genuine care and test extensively before release - but software behavior on Android depends on factors outside our control: your specific device model, manufacturer customizations (particularly aggressive battery management on brands like Xiaomi, Samsung, and OnePlus), network conditions, GPS availability, and how the Android OS itself schedules background tasks at any given moment. We do not warrant that any feature - including location detection, automated alerts, or safety-related notifications - will function without delay, error, or interruption on every device, every time.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Zonely and its developers are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages - including but not limited to a missed automation trigger, a delayed or failed notification, or any outcome resulting from a feature not behaving as expected - arising from circumstances outside our reasonable control, including device-specific behavior, OEM battery optimization, network or GPS conditions, or user configuration choices (such as disabling a required permission after enabling a feature).

This limitation applies with particular emphasis to Wrong Direction Alert, Regret Shield, and any other feature described as a safety or awareness aid - these are supplementary tools, not emergency systems, and are explicitly not a substitute for personal judgment, direct communication with people you trust, or contacting local emergency services. Nothing in this section limits liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including liability for gross negligence or willful misconduct.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Zonely and its developers from any claims, liabilities, damages, and legal costs arising from your misuse of the App, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

11. Intellectual Property

Zonely's design, branding, and original code are the property of Zonely. Open-source components used within the App remain governed by their respective licenses.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to the App for violations of these Terms. You may stop using the App and uninstall it at any time.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms as the App evolves. Material changes will be reflected here with an updated effective date; continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. You agree that the courts in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the App.
