Terms of Use
Last Updated: June 25, 2026
Welcome to BlockDistraction! These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the BlockDistraction browser extension (the "Service") and our website https://blockdistraction.com (the "Site").
The Service and Site are operated by Sole Proprietor Markov Oleksandr Ivanovych, doing business as "Mark Digital" ("we", "us", or "our"). By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
Please read these Terms carefully. By creating an account, purchasing a subscription, or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service.
1. Description of Service
BlockDistraction is a browser extension designed to help users improve their focus and productivity by blocking distracting websites.
- Free Version: The Service offers a free version with core features, including basic website blocking and strict mode.
- Pro Subscription ("Pro"): We offer a paid subscription that unlocks advanced features, which may include but are not limited to: scheduled blocking, password protection, Universal License (Desktop & Mobile), rule import/export, and usage statistics.
2. User Accounts
To access Pro features, you must create an account.
- Account Creation: You can create an account directly by providing an email and password, or through a third-party service like Google. If you purchase a subscription without an existing account, one will be created for you based on the email provided during checkout.
- Account Responsibility: You are responsible for safeguarding your password and for all activities that occur under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.
- Accurate Information: You agree to provide true, accurate, and complete information when creating your account and making a purchase.
3. Subscriptions, Payments, and Refunds
All payments for Pro subscriptions are processed by our third-party payment processor and Merchant of Record, Paddle.com Market Ltd ("Paddle"). Your purchase is subject to Paddle's own terms and privacy policy.
- Subscription Plans & Lifetime Access: We offer recurring subscription plans (e.g., Monthly, Annual) and a one-time purchase for a Lifetime plan.
- Recurring subscriptions unlock Pro features on a billing cycle and automatically renew until canceled.
- The Lifetime plan provides access to Pro features for as long as the Service is operated by us, or until you choose to delete your account. Because the Lifetime plan does not create a recurring subscription, it is a non-expiring single transaction, and access is tied strictly to your active user account.
- Free Trial: We may offer a free trial for our subscription plans. If you do not cancel before the trial period ends, you will be automatically charged for the subscription.
- Billing: For subscription plans, you will be billed on a recurring basis (monthly or annually) until you cancel. You can manage or cancel your subscription through the Paddle customer portal or by contacting our support.
- Refunds: We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee for all new purchases. If you are not satisfied with the Pro subscription, please contact us at [email protected] within 14 days of your purchase for a full refund.
- Price Changes: We reserve the right to change the price of our subscription plans. We will provide you with reasonable prior notice of any price changes.
4. Acceptable Use Policy
You agree not to misuse the Service. For example, you must not:
- Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service.
- Use the Service for any illegal or unauthorized purpose.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our servers or user accounts.
- Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service.
5. Intellectual Property Rights
The Service, including its source code, design, branding, logos, and content, is the exclusive property of BlockDistraction and its licensors. These Terms do not grant you any right, title, or interest in the Service, other than the limited right to use it as permitted by these Terms.
6. Termination
- By You: You can stop using the Service and cancel your subscription at any time.
- By Us: We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice. If we terminate your account without cause, and you have a paid subscription, we may offer a prorated refund. We will not provide a refund if we terminate your account for a violation of these Terms.
- Account Deletion Requests (Right to be Forgotten): If you request the permanent deletion of your account and personal data (e.g., under GDPR compliance), your request will be processed within 30 days.
- For recurring subscriptions, future billing will be canceled immediately, and your data will be wiped after your paid period expires.
- For the Lifetime plan, initiating an account deletion request means you voluntarily forfeit your access key, and your Lifetime license will be permanently terminated once your profile data is removed from our database. No refunds or partial reimbursements will be issued for Lifetime licenses terminated due to a user's voluntary account deletion request.
7. Disclaimer of Warranties
