Terms of Use

Not Yet: Checkout Blocker · Last updated: October 16, 2026

Who can use Not Yet

You must be at least 13, or the minimum age of digital consent where you live. If you are under 18, you may use Not Yet only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to these terms for you.

Not Yet is meant for your own browsing. You may set it up on a device that belongs to someone else, such as a family member's or a partner's, only if that person knows and agrees, or you are their parent or legal guardian. You are responsible for having that consent, and for how you use Not Yet with anyone else.

The agreement is with us, not Apple or Google

Not Yet is distributed through Apple's App Store and the Chrome Web Store, but this agreement is between you and the developer of Not Yet, not Apple or Google. We alone are responsible for Not Yet and its content.

If you got Not Yet from Apple's App Store, you and we also acknowledge that:

• Your license is to use Not Yet on Apple-branded products you own or control, as Apple's Usage Rules allow, including through Family Sharing where it applies.
• Apple has no obligation whatsoever to provide any maintenance or support for Not Yet.
• If Not Yet fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any). To the extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation, and any other claims, losses, or costs from a failure to conform are ours to handle, subject to these terms.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to Not Yet or your possession or use of it, including product liability claims, claims that it fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection, privacy, or similar laws.
• If a third party claims that Not Yet or your use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for investigating, defending, settling, and discharging that claim.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms, and once you accept them, Apple has the right to enforce them against you.

Using the app

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use Not Yet on any device you own or control, as permitted by the relevant platform's own usage rules (Apple's App Store Terms of Service on Safari, the Chrome Web Store's terms on Chrome). You agree not to reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the app except where the law explicitly allows it, and not to use the app for anything unlawful.

You also agree not to use Not Yet to monitor, restrict, or harass another person without their consent, not to remove or alter its notices, and not to sell, rent, or redistribute it or any Premium key or code.

What Not Yet actually does, and doesn't do

Not Yet pauses checkout and payment pages so you have a moment before completing a purchase. It is a friction tool, not a hard block: on the default setup, retyping a generated code, answering a reflection prompt, or waiting out a timer all let a purchase through, by design. Not Yet is not a substitute for professional financial, medical, or mental health advice, and is not a treatment for a gambling addiction or any other diagnosable condition. If you are dealing with compulsive spending or gambling and need more than a pause, please talk to a qualified professional or a relevant support organization.

One deliberate, opt-in exception: sites you add to your own permanent block list in Settings are redirected away entirely, with no code, prompt, or timer to get through, until you remove that site from the list yourself. This is a real block, not friction, and applies only to sites you've specifically chosen to add there.

Time limits you set on sites work the way you configure them: when your time on a site is up, you're taken to your Quiet Place or shown a pause, and only time the site is actually on your screen counts. Like everything else here, a time limit is a tool for your own intentions, not a guarantee.

No guarantee. Not Yet recognizes checkout and payment pages by patterns, and websites change all the time. We do not guarantee that it will catch every checkout page, payment form, wallet button, or betting site, that a block or time limit will always apply, or that it will never pause a page you didn't want paused. You remain fully responsible for every purchase, bet, subscription, and payment you make, whether or not Not Yet paused it, and for any fees, interest, or losses that follow.

Pauses can be inconvenient by design. A pause, block, or time limit can delay or stop you from finishing something, including a time-sensitive purchase, booking, payment, or sale. That's the point of the tool, and we are not responsible for a missed deal, a sold-out item, a late fee, or anything else that results. You can always change your settings or turn Not Yet off, subject to the PIN you set if you use Guard Mode.

Your PIN and master reset. If you turn on Guard Mode, keep your PIN safe. We can't see or recover it. The master reset code is the way back in if you forget it, and using it erases your Not Yet data on that device.

Subscriptions and the lifetime purchase (Safari)

Not Yet's core blocking is free and stays free, on both Safari and Chrome. On Safari, Not Yet Premium is offered either as an auto-renewing monthly subscription or as a one-time lifetime purchase, at the prices shown in the app at the time of purchase (these can change, and any change will be shown before you pay). The lifetime purchase includes every Premium feature added later; no feature already covered by Premium will ever be moved behind a second, separate purchase.

• Free trial. Where offered, the trial length and the price that follows it are shown before you start. If you don't cancel before the trial ends, the paid subscription begins automatically at the price shown.
• Auto-renewal. The monthly subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of the current period, at the price you agreed to.
• Managing and cancelling. Subscriptions are billed and managed entirely by Apple through your Apple ID, not by us. Manage or cancel any time in your device's Settings, then your name, then Subscriptions (or, on Mac, the App Store, then your name, then Account Settings), or at apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions.
• Refunds. All payments go through Apple, and refunds are handled entirely by Apple through reportaproblem.apple.com. We have no ability to issue a refund ourselves and no visibility into your payment details.
• If a subscription ends. Premium features lock again, but nothing protective is switched off for you: Guard Mode stays on, and your own PIN always opens it.
• Restoring a purchase. If you reinstall the app or move to a new device, use "Restore Purchases" in the app to restore a purchase already made with your Apple ID, at no additional charge.
• Using the lifetime purchase in Chrome. The lifetime purchase also unlocks Premium in Not Yet for Chrome. The Not Yet app gives you a code to paste there, so you don't pay twice. The monthly subscription covers Safari only.

Premium for Chrome

On Chrome, Not Yet Premium is a one-time purchase, sold through Payhip, a third-party store whose own checkout page handles payment, receipts, and any refunds under its own policies. You get a license key by email. It's for your own use, on computers you use; please don't share or resell it. It doesn't expire and there is nothing to renew. The key is checked on your own computer, so activating it sends nothing anywhere. If you remove your key from a browser, Premium features lock again there, but nothing protective is switched off for you: Guard Mode stays on, and your own PIN always opens it.

Your key is a personal license, not a transfer of ownership. If a key is shared publicly, resold, obtained by fraud, or tied to a payment that is reversed or charged back, we may decline to support it, refuse to issue a replacement, and treat it as not licensed. Keep your purchase email: it's your proof of purchase, and we can only help find a key from the email address used to buy it. Prices may change, but a change never affects a key you've already bought.

Discounts and offer codes

We may offer Not Yet Premium at a discount or for free through promotions, such as Apple offer codes or a store coupon, for example for military members, veterans, students, or friends and family. Each offer is subject to its stated terms and to the store's own rules; is limited to one per Apple Account or customer unless stated otherwise; is limited in number and may run out; has no cash value; may not be sold or transferred; and may be changed or ended at any time, to the extent the law allows. Offers based on who you are, like military or student discounts, work on the honor system: by redeeming one, you confirm that you qualify.

Our website and blog

These terms also cover notyetcb.com and its blog and demos. That content is general information, provided as is. It is not financial, legal, medical, mental health, or addiction treatment advice, and it may be out of date or contain errors. The site links to other websites we don't control, and their own terms apply there. You may share links to our posts, but please don't copy or republish them in bulk without permission. Don't misuse the site, including by trying to disrupt it, bypass its security, or flood it with automated traffic.

Your content and feedback

Notes, moods, activities, prompts, and photos you add to Not Yet stay on your device and remain yours. You're responsible for having the right to use any photo you add.

If you send us ideas, suggestions, or bug reports, you agree that we may use them freely, without any obligation or payment to you.

No warranty

Not Yet, its Premium features, the website, and everything on them are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, title, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent the law allows. We do not guarantee that Not Yet will catch every checkout page, work with every website or browser version, work without interruption, keep your data safe from loss, or be free of errors, or that using it will change your spending or gambling. Nothing here limits any warranty or right that applicable law does not allow us to disclaim.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of money, savings, winnings, profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to Not Yet, its Premium features, or the website, under any legal theory, even if we were told it was possible. This includes any purchase, bet, payment, or subscription that was made, not made, delayed, or not caught while you used Not Yet, any gambling or spending losses, any missed purchase, booking, or deal, and any loss of your settings, history, photos, or savings totals.

Our total liability for all claims relating to Not Yet and these terms will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us for Not Yet in the 12 months before the claim, or US $50. Some places don't allow some of these limits, so they apply only as far as the law allows. Nothing here limits liability that the law does not allow us to limit.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the developer of Not Yet from any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your use or misuse of Not Yet or the website, your use of Not Yet with any other person or on their device, your violation of these terms, or your violation of any law or anyone else's rights.

Third-party terms of agreement

Your use of the app must comply with the relevant platform's own terms (Apple's App Store Terms of Service and Usage Rules on Safari, the Chrome Web Store's terms on Chrome), in addition to this agreement, as must your use of any website Not Yet runs on and your agreements with your internet or mobile provider.

Export compliance

You agree to comply with all applicable export control and sanctions laws. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

Ending this agreement

These terms apply until ended. You can end them at any time by removing Not Yet. We may suspend or end your license if you break these terms, and we may change, suspend, or stop offering Not Yet or any feature at any time. Sections that by their nature should continue (warranty disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, feedback, and disputes) continue after these terms end.

Changes to these terms

If these terms change, the "Last updated" date above will change, and any material change will be reflected in the app itself. Changes apply from the date they're posted and don't apply to a dispute that arose before then. Since Not Yet has no server and no way to reach you directly, this page is where updates appear, and continuing to use Not Yet after a change means you accept it. If you don't agree, stop using Not Yet.

Disputes and governing law

These terms, and any dispute about them, Not Yet, or the website, are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and the laws of the State of Florida, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.

Talk to us first. Before bringing any claim, you agree to email avclock@protonmail.com with a description of the dispute and what you want, and to try in good faith to resolve it informally for at least 30 days. Any deadline for bringing the claim is paused during that time.

Individual arbitration. Except as stated below, any dispute that isn't resolved informally will be settled by final and binding arbitration on an individual basis, administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules and, where they apply, its Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules, rather than in court. The arbitrator decides questions about the scope, validity, or enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate. Fees are paid as the AAA's rules provide. The arbitration may take place by video, on written submissions, or in the county where you live, as the arbitrator decides.

No class actions or jury trials. You and we each agree to bring claims only individually, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding, and the arbitrator may not combine more than one person's claims. If a dispute is decided in court, you and we each waive a jury trial.

Exceptions. Either of us may bring an individual claim in small claims court, or seek an injunction in the state or federal courts in Florida to protect intellectual property, and we both agree to those courts' jurisdiction for that purpose.

Time limit. To the extent the law allows, a claim must be brought within one year after it arises, or it is permanently barred.

Opting out. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first accepting these terms by emailing avclock@protonmail.com with your name and a statement that you opt out. If you do, or if the class action waiver can't be enforced for a claim, that claim will be decided in the state or federal courts in Florida.

Nothing in this section limits rights that the consumer protection laws of your country don't allow to be waived.

General

If any part of these terms can't be enforced, it will be limited as little as necessary and the rest stays in force. These terms, the Privacy Policy, and the store terms that apply to you are the whole agreement about Not Yet, and replace any earlier version. Not enforcing a term isn't a waiver. You may not transfer these terms; we may transfer them, for example if Not Yet is sold, and they bind any successor. We're not responsible for delays or failures caused by things outside our reasonable control, such as browser or store changes, outages, or natural disasters. Notices we post on this site or in the app count as written notice. Headings are for convenience, and if these terms are translated, the English version controls.
