Terms of Use

Effective date: 4 January 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Thrive mobile application, website, and related services (together, the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

1. WHO WE ARE

The Service is provided by Thrive Digital Wellbeing Pty Ltd (“Thrive”, “we”, “us”, “our”).

2. WHO THRIVE IS FOR

Thrive is designed for parents and legal guardians to help manage family screen time using an “earned rewards” approach.

You must:
– be at least 18 years old; and
– have legal authority to manage the child(ren) and devices you connect to the Service.

Children may use child-facing parts of the Service only under a parent/guardian’s supervision and control.

3. IMPORTANT: THRIVE DOES NOT “CREATE” SCREEN TIME

Thrive is designed to help parents set up rewards and grant earned time based on real‑world activities. Thrive does not create unlimited screen time and does not bypass device/platform controls.

The Service is designed to work alongside platform tools (including Apple Screen Time and Apple Family Sharing). Platform tools and their availability are controlled by Apple and device settings. Thrive is not responsible for platform outages, changes, or limitations.

4. ACCOUNTS, SETUP, AND YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

You are responsible for:
– maintaining the confidentiality of your device and account access;
– ensuring you have authority to connect and manage devices and child profiles;
– ensuring required settings are enabled on the relevant devices (for example, Apple Screen Time and Family Sharing if applicable); and
– supervising your child’s device use and wellbeing.

You agree not to use the Service in any way that violates law, infringes rights, or harms others.

5. SUBSCRIPTIONS, BILLING, AND FREE TRIALS

a) Billing platform
Subscriptions are processed by Apple via In‑App Purchase unless we clearly state otherwise. We do not receive your full payment card details.

b) Auto‑renewal
If you start a subscription, it may auto‑renew unless you cancel through your Apple ID subscription settings before renewal.

c) Trials and pricing
Trial availability, prices, and taxes are shown in the App Store at the time of purchase. Apple may require your confirmation for certain price changes.

13. FEEDBACK

If you provide feedback or suggestions, you grant Thrive a worldwide, royalty‑free right to use them without restriction or compensation.

14. DISCLAIMERS

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error‑free, or compatible with every device or configuration.

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy conferred by the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable law that cannot be excluded.
