Guardian Lens Terms of Service
Effective date: October 6, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Habit Accessories ("we", "us") and govern your use of the Guardian Lens Android app (the "app"). By installing or using the app, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy (https://guardian-lens-legal.pages.dev/privacy). If you do not agree, do not use the app.
1. Not an emergency service
Guardian Lens is not a substitute for 911 or any other emergency service. If you are in danger, contact your local emergency number (911 in the United States) first. The app does not contact police, ambulance or other emergency responders.
Emergency texts, location updates, shared recording links, live video, voice triggers, NFC triggers, the panic widget and cloud uploads depend on things outside our control, including your phone, its battery and settings, permissions, mobile network and SMS delivery, GPS accuracy, internet connectivity, Google, Microsoft, Cloudflare and your carrier. They may be delayed, inaccurate or fail. Do not rely on the app as your only means of getting help.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live) to use the app.
3. Lawful use and recording laws
Recording laws vary by place. Many jurisdictions require the consent of everyone being recorded ("all-party" or "two-party" consent). You are solely responsible for complying with all laws that apply to your recordings, location sharing and messages, including privacy, wiretapping and surveillance laws. Guardian Lens does not give legal advice.
You agree to use the app only for lawful personal-safety purposes, such as documenting incidents you are part of and alerting people you trust. You must not use the app to stalk, harass, threaten or secretly monitor anyone, to record people where it is unlawful, or to send messages to people who have not agreed to be your emergency contacts. You are responsible for the content you record, share or send with the app.
4. Your data and third-party services
Your recordings and other data are stored on your phone and, if you choose, in your own Google Drive or OneDrive account. You are responsible for securing your phone and cloud accounts and for anything shared through links you create with the app. Shared recording links can be viewed by anyone who has them. Third-party services (Google Play, RevenueCat, Google, Microsoft, Cloudflare and your mobile carrier) are governed by their own terms and policies. Your carrier's normal messaging and data rates apply to texts and uploads the app sends. How we handle information is described in the Privacy Policy.
5. Plans, subscriptions and free trials
Guardian Lens offers a free plan and two paid plans: Guardian (Standard) and Sentinel (Premium). Paid plans are sold through Google Play as auto-renewing subscriptions (monthly, 6-month or yearly) and, for Sentinel, as a one-time Lifetime purchase. Prices are shown in the app and in Google Play before you buy and may include taxes.
- Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current price, and your Google Play payment method is charged, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends (or as otherwise required by Google Play).
- Free trial. Some subscriptions include a free trial (for example 7 days) for new subscribers, as shown in the app at purchase. Eligibility is determined by Google Play. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, the subscription starts and you are charged automatically when the trial ends.
- Cancellation. You can cancel at any time in the Google Play Store app (Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Guardian Lens). Uninstalling the app does not cancel a subscription. After cancellation you keep paid features until the end of the period you have paid for.
- Refunds. Purchases are processed by Google Play and refunds are handled under Google Play's refund policies (https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2479637). Except where required by law, we do not provide refunds or credits for partial periods.
- Price changes. We may change prices for future periods. Google Play notifies you of price changes for existing subscriptions as required by its policies.
- Lifetime. The Lifetime purchase is a one-time payment for Sentinel features for as long as we offer and support the app; it does not renew.
- Features may change. We may add, change or remove features and plan limits (for example live-video minutes), but we will not materially reduce the core features of a paid plan during a period you have already paid for, except where required by law, security or a third-party service.
6. License
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app on Android devices you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use, under these Terms and the Google Play terms. You must not copy, modify, reverse engineer (except where the law allows it), resell or interfere with the app or our services, or try to get around plan limits or security features.
7. Disclaimer of warranties
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE APP AND ALL RELATED SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR SECURE, THAT RECORDINGS WILL BE CAPTURED, SAVED OR UPLOADED, OR THAT TEXTS, LOCATION OR LIVE VIDEO WILL BE DELIVERED OR ACCURATE.
8. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HABIT ACCESSORIES AND ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES AND CONTRACTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, RECORDINGS, PROFITS OR GOODWILL, OR FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP, INCLUDING ANY FAILURE OR DELAY OF AN EMERGENCY TEXT, LOCATION, RECORDING, UPLOAD OR LIVE STREAM, OR ANY UNLAWFUL USE OF THE APP BY YOU, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE APP IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE OR (B) US$50.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions or liability limits, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
9. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Habit Accessories from claims, damages and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your unlawful use of the app, your recordings or messages, or your breach of these Terms.
10. Termination
You may stop using the app at any time by uninstalling it (cancel any subscription in Google Play separately). We may suspend or end your access to paid services such as live video if you breach these Terms or use the app unlawfully. Sections 1, 3, 4 and 7 to 12 survive termination.
11. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. We will post the new version at this address with a new effective date and, for material changes, give notice in the app or on the Google Play listing. Continuing to use the app after the new Terms take effect means you accept them.
12. Governing law and general terms
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which Habit Accessories is based, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where the law of your country of residence gives you mandatory consumer protections. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the app. Google is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the app.
