By downloading, installing, or using the Nolapse application ("the App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, you must not use the App.
The App is made available by Carlos Santos, an individual developer based in Portugal, European Union ("the Developer").
Nolapse is a behavioural self-regulation tool based on JITAI — Just-In-Time Adaptive Interventions. It is designed to interrupt impulsive gambling behaviour through a probabilistic friction mechanism: a 12-second press-and-hold filter introduced between the impulse and the action. Based on user-configured risk windows and a probabilistic engine, the system returns one of four outcomes: blocked, delayed, conditioned, or unrestricted.
Nolapse is not a gambling platform, does not facilitate gambling, and contains no gambling content of any kind. It does not connect to any betting operator, casino, or gambling service. It does not process wagers, display odds, or simulate games of chance. Its sole purpose is to introduce friction that may reduce the frequency of gambling episodes.
The App does not guarantee any particular behavioural outcome. It is intended as a personal self-management support tool for adults who choose to use it of their own free will. The decision to gamble or not remains entirely with the user. Nolapse does not moralise, instruct, or impose abstinence.
The core interruption mechanism — the Filter, risk window configuration, cooldown system, and basic impact tracking — is available at no cost, with no account required and no time limit. This does not change.
Access to Pro features requires a paid monthly subscription. The applicable price and conditions are those displayed in the App Store (Apple) or Google Play Store at the time of subscription. Subscriptions are managed and processed exclusively by the respective app store platform. The Developer does not store payment data.
You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings on the App Store or Google Play. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. User data stored locally on your device is not deleted upon cancellation of a subscription.
You may restore an active subscription on any compatible device, provided you are signed in to the same store account. The restore option is available within the App.
You agree to use the App solely for personal, non-commercial purposes and in a manner consistent with these Terms and applicable law. The following are expressly prohibited:
