By accessing or using Nephi's Gate, you confirm that you are at least 13 years of age and agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
2. Description of Service
Nephi's Gate is a productivity and spiritual habit app that helps users build a daily Book of Mormon reading habit. The App uses Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) API to restrict access to selected apps until a daily reading goal is met. The App includes a built-in Book of Mormon reader, a reading timer, streak tracking, and optional reminders.
3. Subscriptions and Purchases
Free and paid features
Nephi's Gate is free to download. Certain features, including app-blocking functionality, require an active subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase.
Billing
Subscriptions are billed through your Apple ID on a monthly, annual, or lifetime basis as selected at the time of purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account upon confirmation of purchase.
Renewal and cancellation
Monthly and annual subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. You can manage and cancel subscriptions at any time through your Apple ID account settings.

5. Screen Time and App Restrictions
Nephi's Gate uses Apple's Family Controls framework to apply app restrictions on your device. By granting this permission, you authorize the App to restrict and unrestrict access to apps you have selected. This functionality requires iOS 16 or later.
